# Kalo Gold Identifies In-Situ Epithermal Gold Veins at Wainikoro; Surface Values up to 3,397 dU \(~3.40 g/t Au estimated\), Arsenic Corridor Extends to 1,800 m, Vatu Aurum, Fiji Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/kalo-gold-identifies-in-situ-epithermal-gold-veins-at-wainikoro-surface-values-u--e4e8699e-3a5d-42be-9150-7be032b61087 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/KALO/news/4597475281968065/kalo-gold-identifies-in-situ-epithermal-gold-veins-at-wainikoro-surface-values-u Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-06-09T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Kalo Gold Corp. - Ticker: KALO - Exchange: TSX - Region: Fiji - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Arsenic - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-16 06:41:08 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.70 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Kalo Gold has identified multiple in-situ low-sulphidation epithermal quartz veins at the Wainikoro area of the Vatu Aurum Project in Fiji. Surface screening via detectORE™ returned gold values up to ~3.40 g/t Au, while integrated geochemistry and magnetic data have extended the arsenic-in-soil anomaly to an 1,800 m strike length. Reasoning: The identification of in-situ veins and the expansion of the geochemical footprint provide strong targeting for upcoming drilling, though the current gold values are screening-based rather than certified assays. - Positive factor: Identification of in-situ epithermal veins - Positive factor: High-grade surface float values - Positive factor: Expansion of arsenic-in-soil anomaly to 1,800m - Positive factor: Convergence of multiple datasets \(geochem, magnetic, structural\) - Negative factor: Results are semi-quantitative detectORE™ screening, not certified fire assay - Negative factor: Soil dU results not directly validated against fire assay Facts used in scoring: 5 ## 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 mentions detectORE™ QA/QC management including calibration, reference materials, blanks and duplicates. Evidence · text > detectORE™ screening data is QA/QC managed through Portable PPB's pLIMS system, including calibration verification, reference materials, blanks and duplicates. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The arsenic-in-soil anomaly has been extended from >1 km to approximately 1,800 m. Evidence · text > extend the previously disclosed >1 km arsenic-in-soil anomaly at Wainikoro... to approximately 1,800 m of strike length ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

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.
