KALO GOLD IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED GOLD VALUES WITHIN 300M OF

SURFACE ALONG VUINUBU RIDGE TREND, VATU AURUM GOLD PROJECT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA: 15 February 2024, KALO GOLD CORP. (“Kalo”, “Kalo Gold” or the “Company”)

has identified Vuinubu Ridge to Namalau as a >1,900 meter (“m”) northeast trending priority epithermal gold target located

along the deep seated Nubu Graben Fault (Figure 1). A combination of geology, structure, geochemistry and geophysics

indicates that the upper 100 to 150m of the epithermal system has been eroded and it is interpreted that subsequent

trenching and shallow drilling has intersected only the upper portion of the precious metal horizon. Shallow drill testing of

Vuinubu Ridge has tested approximately 500m strike length of the trend and trenching has tested over 1,900m to the

northeast (Figure 2) to Namalau. Given that Vuinubu Ridge repres ents the top of the precious metal horizon (Figure 3) it is

estimated that drilling within 300m of th e surface, targeting the main gold mine ralized zones which are interpreted to

underly the current trench and drill tested zone, are the priority for the next phase of exploration work.

Terry L. Tucker, Kalo Gold President and CEO stated, “Over the past 30 plus years, exploration by the likes of Placer Dome,

Camelot, TVI Pacific and Kalo Gold has collected well in excess of CAD$30M of exploration data. A thorough, painstaking,

and methodical compilation of this work, by the professional team at SGDS Hive and in particular Andy (Andrew) Randell,

P.Geo., has been ongoing for the past 5 months. The SGDS Hive team has extensive experience in historical database

compilations. Other projects, in particular an ongoing large ep ithermal gold exploration proj ect in British Columbia, have

benefited from their experience resultin g in new discoveries and th e successful advancement of epithermal gold systems

much like those located on the Vatu Aurum Gold Project. Highl y prospective epithermal gold targets have become clear in

the ongoing compilation work at Vatu Au rum and will be the focus of the 2024 exploration and diamond drilling program.

This will include drilling the priority targets identified in this release along the Vuinubu Ridge Trend and several other targets,

including Qiriyaga Hill, which will be summarized in further news releases as the compilation work continues.”

Several trench and drill results from Vuinubu Ridge to Namalau are summarized in Table 1 and located on Figure 4. Fifteen

holes have been drilled in Vuinubu Ridge to a maximum vertical depth of 115m. Mineralization is open at depth and along

strike for over 1900m and the interpreted zonation of this epithermal system indicates higher-grade gold potential within

300m of the surface.

Compilation work has shown that Vuinubu Ridge sits on the southern bounding extensional fault of the Nubu Graben (Figure

1). The Nubu Graben, an extremely import ant deep seated regional scale NE-SW striking structure was formed by the

downward drag of the Pacific Plate stretching crust resulting in rifting. The Nubu Graben lies along the Viti Levu Lineament,

sometimes referred to as Fiji’s Mineralized Gold Belt which hosts large gold deposits such at Vatukoula / Emperor and Tuvatu

(Figure 4). These types of faults extend at depth into the crus t and act as conduits for the mineralizing fluids and gases to

rise to the surface, which then deposit their mineral content as the system cools and condenses.

Evidence is emerging through the current reinterpretation work and compilation of historical data that the Nubu Graben

Fault may host additional untested epithermal centres, high lighted by their geochemical fingerprint at surface or the

occurrence of rocks such as silica sinters wh ich are associated with the hot spring environments that sit at the subaerial

interface of epithermal / hydrothermal systems as noted in Figure 2.

SHARES FOR DEBT SETTLEMENT

The Company also announces that it has entered into debt settlement agreements (the “S ettlement Agreements”) with

certain insiders of the Company (the “Creditors”) to settle an aggregate of $261,000 in debt (the “Debt”) for services

provided by the Creditors to the Company (the “Services”). In settlement and full satisfaction of the Debt in connection with

the Services, the Company has agreed to issue to the Creditors an aggregate of 10,440,000 common shares in the capital of

the Company (the “Debt Shares”) at a deemed issue price of $0.025 per Debt Shar e (the “Debt Settlement”). The issuance

of the Debt Shares is subject to receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval and disinterested shareholders’ approval. All Debt

Shares issued in connection with the Debt Settlement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from

the date of issuance of the Debt Shares in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

The issuance of the Debt Shares to the Creditors constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral

Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transaction (“MI 61-101 ”) as the Creditors are

directors and/or officers of the Company. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority

shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the Company is

not listed on a specified market and the fa ir market value of the Debt Shares issued to the Creditors does not exceed 25%

of the market capitalization of the Company in accordance with MI 61-101.

ABOUT KALO GOLD CORP.

Kalo Gold Corp, a gold exploration company, is focused on exploration for low sulphidation epithermal gold deposits of the

Vatu Aurum Gold Project on the island of Vanua Levu (North Island) in the Republic of Fiji. Kalo holds a 100% interest in two

Special Prospecting Licenses, covering 367 km2 that hosts a minimum of seven volcanic arc related calderas ranging between

1 km to 10 km in diameter. Historical exploration work concentrated on the Qiriyaga Hill and Vuinubu Ridge Gold Deposits

and resulted in the identification of over fourteen priority epithermal gold exploration targets.

Both Viti Levu, (South Island), and Vanua Levu are on the prolific Pacific “Ring of Fire”, a trend that has produced numerous

large deposits, including Porgera, Lihir and Grasberg and on Viti Levu, the exceptional Vatukoula Gold Mine. The Vatukoula

Gold Mine has produced more than 7 million ounces of gold since 1937. The island of Viti Levu also hosts the fully permitted

Tuvatu Alkaline Gold Project, where Lion One Metals is fast tracking a high-grade underground gold mining operation.

Tuvatu is now operating and targeting production expansion and additional growth through exploration.

All rock and drill core samples collected by the Company since 2023 have been sent to Australian Laboratory Services Pty.

Ltd. in Brisbane, Australia for sample preparation and analysis. Upon receipt at the lab, all samples were dried in an oven at

a temperature of 80°C (DRY-2 4), coarse crushed (CRU-21) and then pulverised to 85% pa ssing 75 microns (PUL-23). The

preparation has a very low likelihood of producing inadequate or non-representative samples. Gold grades are obtained by

method code Au-AA24 which is a 50-gram fire assay with an AA finish and detection range of 0.005 to 10ppm gold. Samples

which return greater than 10.0 parts per million gold are res ubmitted with method code Au -AA26 which is a 50-gram fire

assay with an AA finish and detection range of 0.01 to 100 ppm gold. The fire assay analysis is considered a total analysis for

gold. Additional analyses for 48 other elements were carried out using a 4-acid digestion and ICP-MS finish under the method

code ME-MS61m including trace Hg by ICP-MS (Hg-MS42). Quality control procedures are followed for all samples submitted

to the laboratory for assay, including strict chain of custody protocols. Quality control comprises of OREAS standards, blank

materials and field or preparation duplicate material for testing. Insertion rate is at a minimum of one quality control sample

per shipment but in sections of mineralized drill core a standa rd is inserted at the beginning of the section to establish

calibration, a duplicate in the middle of the sequence to te st repeatability (for field duplicates) or homogeneity (for

preparation duplicates). Mineralized sections are then completed with the insertion of blank material to ensure equipment

has been cleaned rigorously and no “smearing” or contamination of grade occurs. Quality control is monitored on each

assay certificate as it arrives from the laboratory and then all data is compiled annually. Any discrepancies are immediately

addressed accordingly.

No quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) reporting is available for FCD30. From 2011 to 2022 QA/QC protocols were

conducted by ALS including internal blanks, standards and duplicates.
