[{"type":"text","content":"Kalo Gold Identifies Three Gold Depositional Environments with the Discovery of the Qiriyaga Complex, Vatu Aurum Project, FijiVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 24, 2025 / KALO GOLD CORP. (TSXV:KALO) (\"Kalo\", \"Kalo Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the interpretation of historical drilling, geophysics, 12,079 soil, 2,074 trench and 3,632 TerraSpec results, has resulted in a new geological model that has identified three unique gold depositional environments at Aurum Prime on its 100%-owned Vatu Aurum Project, Fiji. This includes the recently discovered Namalau Trend and the identification of both diatreme and surge related gold mineralization that form the Qiriyaga Complex.Aurum Prime: Three Gold Depositional Environments IdentifiedDiatreme-Hosted Gold Deposits: Gold mineralization within deep-seated diatreme structures, with historical drilling returned up to 10.0 m at 27.2 g/t gold, including 1.0 m at 120.0 g/t gold within the Qiriyaga Complex.Surge Deposits: Gold-rich zones formed around diatremes, with historical trenching results up to 30 m at 3.13 g/t gold and up to 60.0 m at 1.74 g/t gold, indicates widespread mineralization potential within the Qiriyaga Complex.Namalau Trend 1, 2 & 3: A parallel, >2km long, newly discovered epithermal gold system hosting additional high-priority targets, reinforcing district-scale potential.Upcoming Planned Drill Program: Drilling will target priority targets in the Namalau Trend, including key targets such as Dua and Rua. Drilling in the Qiriyaga Complex will focus on confirming high-grade continuity in diatreme-hosted mineralization and expanding gold zones within surge deposits - both have excellent exploration upside.

Tucker, P.Geo., President & CEO, Kalo Gold Corp. commented: \"Since launching field exploration at Vatu Aurum in September 2024, our geological understanding has evolved dramatically. The discovery of the Namalau Trend in November reinforced the project's district-scale potential, and today, we are advancing even further with the recognition of the Qiriyaga Complex and its associated Surge Deposits. Thanks to the SGDS Hive exploration team, we continue to refine our geological model, integrating g...
