[{"type":"text","content":"Kalo Gold Identifies Potential for Another Epithermal Gold System at Wainikoro, Vatu Aurum Project, Fiji VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / October 27, 2025 / Kalo Gold Corp. (TSX-V:KALO) (\"Kalo\" or the \"Company\") has confirmed that the Wainikoro hosts a similar style of epithermal gold system as Aurum Prime, located 5 kilometres to the northeast (Figure 1). Geological mapping, soil sampling, alteration and geochemical analysis completed in September 2025 demonstrated strong geological and geochemical similarities between the two areas.KEY HIGHLIGHTSBroad gold at surface: Historical trenching returned up to:32 m @ 0.56 g/t Au (including 12 m @ 1.0 g/t Au) (historical trench TR17-5K05*);24 m @ 1.0 g/t Au (including 2 m @ 3.41 g/t Au) (historical trench TR13-5K04*);2025 fieldwork: Geological mapping, soil sampling, and alteration mapping have identified a preserved clay-silica (acid-sulfate) lithocap with sinter, chalcedony ridges, and quartz-adularia veinlets - features consistent with a shallow, vertically intact low-sulphidation epithermal system over a 12.5 square kilometer area (Figure 2).Strong pathfinder signature: Elevated arsenic, antimony and mercury and advanced argillic alteration (illite-kaolinite-alunite-barite assemblages) define a robust geochemical halo.Hydrothermal breccias: Breccia zones accompanied by sinter and quartz veinlets at TR13-5K04 confirm acid-sulfate alteration and near-surface vent facies, supporting historical data and indicating proximity to the upper boiling horizon of the system (see Photos 1 to 4).District-scale continuity: Results confirm that the Nubu Graben can potentially host multiple epithermal systems, as demonstrated by Wainikoro and Aurum Prime occurring 5 km apart along this structural corridor, where graben flexures promote extensional settings ideal for epithermal fluid upflow and gold deposition. The Nubu Graben is an extensive structural corridor exceeding 30 kilometres in length within ground controlled by Kalo.\"Our new mapping at Wainikoro has confirmed that this is the same geological environment that hosts Aurum Prime. The preserved silica caps, vein textures, and clay-silica alteration at surface are diagnostic of a vertically intact epithermal system. Having now validated two separate epithermal complexes along the Nubu Graben demonstrates the district-scale gold potenti...
