[{"type":"text","content":"Kalo Gold Confirms Extensive Epithermal Gold System At Aurum Prime With 25 High-Priority Targets IdentifiedVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 26, 2025 / KALO GOLD CORP. (TSXV:KALO) (\"Kalo\", \"Kalo Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the identification of 25 high-priority gold targets within the newly defined Aurum Epithermal Field, Vatu Aurum Project, Fiji, further emphasizing its district-scale potential. This includes the Qiriyaga Complex, a key component of the Project. As part of the latest exploration program, 12,079 soil samples were collected across 4.9 km² in Aurum Prime at a 20-meter spacing. The integration of this data with historical exploration results has led to significant advancements in understanding of Aurum Prime, culminating in a geological model that provides a clear framework for ongoing and future exploration efforts.Important Exploration Update: 25 high-priority gold targets have been identified within the Aurum Epithermal Field.Newly Defined Structural Trends - The Namalau, Loma, and Buca Trends have been confirmed as significant mineralized corridors, alongside the Qiriyaga Complex, indicating multiple structurally controlled upwelling zones for gold deposition (see Figure 1).Strong Gold Indicators & Vectoring Tools: Analysis of 12,079 soil samples, using XRF, confirms the presence of key pathfinder elements (Se, As, Sb, Hg, Tl) and TerraSpec analysis identifies extensive potassium depletion and clay alteration (kaolinite, illite/smectite) suggesting an intact gold-bearing hydrothermal system.First Geological Model Established: A structured geological framework has been developed to refine exploration targeting, leveraging the globally recognized CODES approach for mineralization assessment.2025 Drill Program Planned: Multi-phase 2025 exploration program being planned, including trenching, soil sampling, geological mapping, and drilling, subject to financing.Figure 1: Aurum Epithermal Field - Namalau, Loma and Buca Trends and Qiriyaga Complex. \"The identification of 25 high-priority gold targets within the 367 km² Vatu Aurum Project marks a major step forward in unlocking its district-scale potential,\" said Terry L. Tucker, P.Geo., President & CEO of Kalo Gold Corp. \"For the first time, we have developed a comprehensive geological model by integrating decades...
