Executive Summary

  • Kalo Gold Corp. has committed to a major district-scale airborne geophysics and lidar survey at its 100%-owned Vatu Aurum project in Fiji.
  • The survey, to be executed by Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd., is scheduled to commence in late January 2026, pending final aviation and regulatory clearances.
  • The program aims to acquire high-resolution data to refine structural interpretations, prioritize drill targets, and identify new targets for the company's 2026 drilling program.

Key Details

  • Survey Scope: Approximately 5,700 line kilometres of helicopter-borne airborne geophysics and lidar.
  • Data Types: High-resolution magnetic, radiometric, lidar, and orthophotography data.
  • Contractor: Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd. (Canada-based geophysical and remote sensing consultancy).
  • Start Date: Late January 2026 (subject to aviation and regulatory clearances).
  • Objectives:
    • Define regional- and district-scale structural architecture.
    • Refine lithological and alteration domains.
    • Identify and prioritize structural corridors and feeder zones.
    • Support drill targeting across the Vatu Aurum project.
    • Identify new targets.
  • Data Processing: Data will be processed and reviewed during acquisition for real-time geological interpretation.
  • Integration: Completed data will be integrated into Kalo's district-scale geological model to guide the 2026 drilling program.
  • Qualified Person: Andrew Randell, PGeo, principal of SGDS Hive, verified the data under National Instrument 43-101.

Notable Quotes

  • "This project-wide airborne geophysics and lidar survey will provide the structural, geological and alteration framework required to support the prioritization of drill targets as well as identify new targets in this highly prospective terrain ahead of our 2026 drilling program," said Terry L. Tucker, president and chief executive officer of Kalo Gold.
