VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA: 11 DECEMBER 2023, KALO GOLD CORP. (“Kalo”, “Kalo Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the ongoing 2023 Phase 3 exploration program at its flagship 100% owned Vatu Aurum Gold Project (“Vatu Aurum” or the “Project”), Republic of Fiji.
Field exploration work completed to date in 2023 has resulted in a significant and improved understanding of the geological setting of the epithermal gold mineralization at Vatu Aurum and has confirmed the district-scale gold potential. Importantly, the Company has documented widespread sinters (paleo-surface expression of epithermal systems) that will provide an important vectoring tool for gold discoveries. Furthermore, the alteration distribution associated with the most advanced target on the Project, the Qiriyaga Hill Prospect, indicates a shallow level of erosion of the epithermal systems of between 50 meters (“m”) to 100 m, implying that the precious metal-bearing boiling zone is at depth.
2023 Exploration Work Program Highlights
A Property scale bulk leach extractable gold (“BLEG”) sampling program that successfully defined a 33 kilometer (“km”) long NE-trending gold corridor across the Property.
A stream sediment sampling program that identified several priority target drainages with previously unknown prospects.
A Controlled-Source Audio-frequency Magnetotellurics (“CSAMT”) geophysical survey covering 57.6-line km over 12.5 km² at Qiriyaga Hill Prospect, identifying six priority target areas.
Renewal of Special Prospecting License (“SPL”) 1464, extending to 4 July 2028.
Diamond drilling at Drudrusavu Prospect identified a new epithermal gold system associated with large CSAMT resistivity high targets.
Diamond drilling at Mouta Prospect intersected two mineralization styles, suggesting a shallowly eroded phreatomagmatic eruption setting.
A team of geologists continues to synthesize geological and geochemical data to prioritize targets for the 2024 drilling program.
