Kalo Gold Defines Kilometre-Scale Epithermal Gold Targets and Structural Corridors at Wainikoro Within a 40 km Gold Corridor, Vatu Aurum, Fiji
Kalo Gold Expands District-Scale Epithermal Footprint at Wainikoro While Stock Tests Critical Support

Executive Summary
- Date: 2026-04-22
- Headline: Defines Kilometre-Scale Epithermal Gold Targets and Structural Corridors at Wainikoro Within a 40 km Gold Corridor, Vatu Aurum, Fiji.
- Drilling Results: Completed two diamond drill holes (VA26-DH18 and VA26-DH19) at the Wainikoro prospect.
- Hole VA26-DH19 intersected brecciated andesitic volcanics with quartz veining, sulphide mineralization, and interpreted bladed carbonate textures indicating a boiling-stage epithermal system.
- Hole VA26-DH18 intersected polymictic breccias, quartz-carbonate veining, and sulphide mineralization.
- Geochemistry: Identified kilometre-scale arsenic-in-soil anomalies spatially associated with Nubu Graben structures (Kope Road North >1 km anomaly).
- Trenching: TR13-5K04 returned up to 2 m at 3.41 g/t Au; TR17-5K05 returned 32 m at 0.56 g/t Au.
- Future Work: High-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey commencing immediately (helicopter in camp). Expansion of soil geochemistry, stream sediment sampling, and trenching. Integration of LiDAR data to refine drill targeting.
- Management Commentary: CEO Terry Tucker states Wainikoro is behaving like a large epithermal system at this stage; pending Fire Assay results will define next drill locations.
Material Impact
- News Rating: Routine - Positive. While the geological confirmation of a boiling zone and kilometre-scale anomalies supports the district model, it lacks immediate high-grade assay intercepts comparable to the October 2025 bonanza (12.80 g/t Au). The news is incremental progress rather than a valuation inflection point without confirmed grades in the new holes.
- Context: This follows the April 8, 2026 update which confirmed vertically continuous gold systems at Qiriyaga Complex (3.25 g/t Au). Wainikoro represents an expansion of the known corridor rather than a new discovery of economic grade.
- Market Expectation: The market has priced in exploration progress following the $12.45M financing closed in January 2026. This news validates the use of proceeds for drilling but does not materially alter the risk profile or resource potential immediately.
- Price Impact: Likely to stabilize the stock near current lows ($0.20) rather than trigger a breakout, as the "game changer" narrative was established in October 2025 and April 8, 2026.
