  VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, MARCH 10, 2021, KALO GOLD HOLDINGS CORP. (TSX.V: KALO) (\u201cKalo Gold\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a discovery-driven company with high-grade opportunities in Fiji, is pleased to provide an update on recent exploration activities on the Vatu Aurum Gold Project.<\/p>\n

  As previously announced on December 8, 2020, the Company commenced its exploration program at the Qiriyaga Zone within the Vatu Aurum Gold Project in Fiji.\u00a0 The planned exploration program consists of 8 confirmation and step-out diamond drill holes totaling 1,800 metres in the Qiriyaga Zone targeting Qiriyaga Hill and Vuinubu Ridge areas, as well as soil sampling and ground geophysics (induced polarization or \u201cIP\u201d).\u00a0 The Qiriyaga Zone, where Kalo plans to initially focus its work, is a 2.5-kilometre-long northeasttrending zone defined by soil geochemistry and trenching.\u00a0 Kalo Gold is pleased to announce that the first two holes were completed and has started drilling the third hole. All these holes are in Qiriyaga Hill. The core samples of the completed holes have been submitted to ALS laboratory in Brisbane, Australia, with assay results pending.<\/p>\n

  The Company is also pleased to announce that a soil sampling program in Qiriyaga Zone has also been completed, with results pending Qiriyaga Zone is characterized by a 2.5 km long zone of gold anomalies and confirmed by multiple trenches*. The two known mineralized areas Qiriyaga Hill and Vuinubu Ridge are located on the southwestern end of this zone. In addition, the soil sampling program in Coqeloa located some 15 km southwest of Qiriyaga Zone, has also been completed. Including previous soil sampling programs, the area covered by soil sampling in Qiriyaga Zone and Coqeloa, is now 5.4 square km and 10.4 square km, respectively. The Company expects to send all the soil samples to ALS in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

  Furthermore, the Company has contracted Fender Geophysics of Australia (\u201cFender\u201d) to conduct Induced Polarization (IP) survey in Qiriyaga Zone and Coqeloa. The Company expects the Fender team to be on site in April.<\/p>\n

  Historical drilling results located on the southern end of Qiriyaga Hill\u2019s confirmed the presence of several high-grade zones with selective drill intersections including 8.75 metres at 36.02 g\/t Au (61.25 to 70 m) and 10 m at 27.18 g\/t Au (76-86 m) including 120 g\/t Au between 81 to 82 m in drill hole KCD-17. The qualified person has not verified the data disclosed and has not completed sufficient work to verify the historical technical data and information regarding the property.<\/p>\n

  In addition to high-grade gold mineralization, drilling in Qiriyaga Hill over a limited area of 140 m by 210 m resulted in defining a resource estimate** (historical) of 114,598 ounces gold of mostly oxide mineralization, starting at surface down to a depth of 45 m. Mineralization in Qiriyaga Zone is considered\u00a0 epithermal type as with the rest of the targets in the property. Outside of Qiriyaga Zone there are at least 14 gold targets that have been identified by the previous operators, some exhibiting copper mineralization. These targets, as with the Qiriyaga Zone, are located within or around two caldera features that are present in the property.<\/p>\n

  ** The historical estimate was prepared by Roberto Tan (AusIMM) and Roman Celis Jr. in February, 2017, for Kalo Exploration Ltd. (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kalo Gold) in its report “Cirianiu Gold Project Resource Evaluation” using categories and definitions consistent with CIM definition standards for mineral resources and mineral reserves (Nov. 27, 2010) at the time of completion of the estimate, as outlined in NI 43-10, however a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources and therefore the company is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources. Investors are cautioned that the historical estimates do not mean or imply that economic deposits exist on the property. The company has not undertaken any independent investigation of the historical estimate or other information contained in this presentation nor has it independently analyzed the results of the previous exploration work in order to verify the accuracy of the information. The company believes that the historical estimate and other technical information contained in this news release are relevant to continuing exploration on the property.<\/p>\n
