KALO GOLD LAUNCHES MAJOR DISTRICT-SCALE AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICS
AND LiDAR SURVEY AT VATU AURUM PROJECT, FIJI
Vancouver, British Columbia – January 7, 2026 – Kalo Gold Corp. (TSXV: KALO) (“Kalo” or the
“Company”) announces that it has committed to a district -scale, helicopter -borne airborne
geophysics and LiDAR survey across its 100%-owned Vatu Aurum Project in Fiji, to be executed by
Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd., with acquisition scheduled to co mmence in late January
2026, subject only to final aviation and regulatory clearances. The program will acquire high -
resolution magnetic, radiometric and LiDAR data over approximately 5,700 line-kilometres and is
designed to directly refine structural interpretation and prioritise drill targets for the Company’s
2026 drilling program.
“This project wide airborne geophysics and LiDAR survey will provide the structural, geological and
alteration framework required to support the prioritisation of drill targets, as well as identify new
targets in this highly prospective terrain ahead of our 2026 drilling program ,” said Terry L. Tucker,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Kalo Gold Corp.
Survey Scope and Objectives
The airborne program will comprise a high-resolution magnetic and radiometric survey together
with LiDAR and orthophotography over the Vatu Aurum Project (Figure 1).
The survey is designed to:
• define regional and district-scale structural architecture
• refine lithological and alteration domains
• identify and prioritise structural corridors and feeder zones
• support drill targeting across the Vatu Aurum Project
• Identify new targets
Execution, Data Integration and Next Steps
The airborne surveys will be executed by Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd., a Canada -based
geophysical and remote sensing consultancy with extensive experience delivering helicopter-borne
airborne geophysics and LiDAR programs for major and mid -tier mining companies globally. Data
will be processed and reviewed during acquisition to enable real -time geological interpretation
and, upon completion, will be integrated into Kalo’s district-scale geological model to prioritise drill
2
targets and guide the Company’s 2026 drilling program. Updates will be provided as acquisition
and interpretation milestones are reached.
