## Minestarters Atlas summary

Kalo Gold has confirmed a gold-bearing epithermal system at the Wainikoro project in Fiji through two reconnaissance drill holes. The results show gold-bearing quartz veins and pathfinder elements like arsenic and antimony, with mineralization extending beyond the previously identified magnetic-low target.

Reasoning: Reconnaissance drilling confirms a structurally controlled epithermal gold system with anomalous grades and pathfinder elements, extending the known target area.

- Positive factor: Confirmation of epithermal system

- Positive factor: Mineralization extends beyond magnetic-low target

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with accredited lab

- Negative factor: Low-grade intercepts

- Negative factor: Reconnaissance/wide-spaced drilling

Facts used in scoring: 17

## Classification and evidence

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release includes ALS Limited fire assay results and mentions QA/QC protocols for detectORE.

Evidence · text

> Gold assays for drill core from VA26-DH18 and VA26-DH19 were determined by ALS Limited \(Australia\)

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The holes were described as wide-spaced reconnaissance holes for geological vectoring.

Evidence · text

> The two wide-spaced \(1,027 m\) reconnaissance drill holes were designed to test the potential

#### Tags used in scoring

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
