Kalo Gold Advances Exploration at Vatu Aurum Project, Fiji

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – AUGUST 7, 2025 -- KALO GOLD CORP. (TSX-V: KALO) ("Kalo" or the "Company") is

pleased to provide a comprehensive update on exploration activities at its 100%-owned, 367 km² Vatu Aurum Project,

located on Fiji’s Vanua Levu Island. The 2025 field season, which began in mid-May, has confirmed structural features

and hydrothermal indicators consistent with vertically intact epithermal systems.

● 15,495 soils, 1,907 metres trenching, and 1,352.7 metres drilling (seven holes) completed to date, with assays

pending and two additional holes currently in progress

● Namalau Trend – Dua: six drill holes completed (VA25-DH01 to DH05 and DH07 - 1,104.2 m): Vein-hosted

sulphides intersected, boiling zone indicators with vuggy and bladed quartz textures, polymictic breccias, and

transitions from lower temperature to higher temperature alteration assemblages

● Initial drilling confirms key feeder structures and hydrothermal alteration zones at both Dua and Qiriyaga

Complex – Vunisea (VA25-DH06 – 248.5 m): supporting vert ically intact epithermal and diatreme-hosted gold

models

● All drill core is logged, split, and shipped to ALS Laboratories (Australia) for gold fire assay and multi-

element ICP-MS analysis VA25-DH01–DH02 in lab; DH03–DH05 en route; DH06–DH07 splitting underway

Next Steps

● Assay reporting from the first set of drill holes (expected Q3 2025)

● Drilling expansion into new targets including Rua, QC 2 and Buca based on trench ing, soil anomalies, and

structural mapping

● Follow-up drilling at priority structures at Dua and Vunisea

● Vectoring refinement using XRF data, TerraSpec and path finder element halo analysis to guide drilling to the

most prospective zones

Safety and Sustainability

Kalo Gold remains committed to responsible exploration based on international best practices in health, safety,

environmental stewardship, and community engagement. The Company has recorded zero lost-time injuries (LTIs)

during the 2025 field season.

All field activities are digitally tracked through SiteDocs, ensuring real-time compliance and accountability. Kalo is

working toward third-party certification of its safety and sustainability system s by year-end, aligning with global

Sustainability standards. Engagement continues with lo cal stakeholders and government to support inclusive

exploration and long-term value creation in Fiji.

Forward-Looking Statements Disclaimer

This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applic able securities laws. These

statements reflect management’s current expectations, strategic objectives, and exploration priorities at the time of

this release. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and include, but are not limited to:

 The Company’s planned multi-phase exploration and drilling program, including the targeting of structurally

controlled gold zones at Coqeloa, Aurum Prime, Namalau, Loma, Buca Trends, and the Qiriyaga Complex.

 Interpretations of geological features, mineralization continuity, and depo sit potential, based on geophysical

surveys, surface sampling, and histor ical drill data, which ar e subject to change as additional drilling and

verification work is conducted.

 The potential for district-scale gold mineralization, su bject to further exploratio n, drilling, and independent

verification.

 All exploration results, including geoc hemical data and historical intercepts , are preliminary in nature and do

not constitute a mineral resource estimate. Further expl oration, including drilling, is required to confirm the

continuity, grade, and extent of mineralization at the Vatu Aurum Project.

 The Company’s ability to secure suffic ient financing, obtain necessary re gulatory approvals, and establish

strategic partnerships to advance exploration and development activities.

Exploration Risks & Uncertainties

Forward-looking statements are subject to geological, financia l, and regulatory risks that may cause actual results to

differ materially from those anticipated. These risks include, but are not limited to:

 Exploration risk: There is no guarantee that current exploration activities will result in an economically viable

mineral resource.

 Drilling uncertainty: Trench and soil sampling results are not necessarily indicative of subsurface mineralization,

and drilling is required to confirm continuity, grade, and extent.

 Permit and regulatory risks: Exploration activities are subject to government approvals, environmental

regulations, and permitting requirements.

 Funding constraints: The Company’s ability to execute exploration programs depends on market conditions

and financing availability.

 Commodity price volatility: Gold price fluctuations may impact the economic fe asibility of any future

discoveries.
