What Kalo Gold does

Kalo Gold Corp. is a publicly listed (TSX-V: KALO; OTCID: KLGDF; FSE: 9M51) gold exploration and development company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, with field operations on Vanua Levu, Fiji. The company holds 100% of the district-scale 367 km² Vatu Aurum Project through two contiguous Special Prospecting Licences (SPL 1464 and SPL 1511) and targets multiple low-sulphidation epithermal gold systems within the Nubu Graben, a >30 km structural corridor in the Pacific "Ring of Fire." The project area is organized around three principal targets — Aurum Prime (Qiriyaga Complex), Wainikoro, and Coqeloa — and currently contains more than 25 priority epithermal targets, with the Qiriyaga Complex having returned drill intercepts including 22.12 m at 12.80 g/t Au and 16.90 m at 3.25 g/t Au.

The exploration workflow integrates LiDAR and orthophotography, a 6,212 line-km high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, 3-D CSAMT (57.6 line-km), multi-element pathfinder geochemistry, and the detectORE field-based gold screening system (validated internally to Pearson R=0.98 vs. certified Fire Assay) together with TerraSpec Halo spectral mineralogy. Independent laboratory analyses are performed by ALS Limited (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited). The Qualified Person is Andy Randell (P.Geo.) of SGDS Hive. Cumulative historical and modern exploration investment on the property is reported at more than CAD $30 million, consolidated into 3-D models in MX Deposit and Leapfrog Geo.

The business model is pre-revenue: Kalo Gold generates no operating income and funds exploration exclusively through equity financings (notably a C$2.35M placement in January 2023, a C$1.5M placement led by Ascentas Capital in June 2024, a C$12.45M LIFE Offering closed in January 2026, and a C$15.5M placement announced December 2025). The customer base consists of institutional and retail investors, with Hong Kong-based Ascentas Capital holding approximately 19.9% post-2024. Go-to-market is investor-relations driven, including TSX-V/OTCID/Frankfurt listings, multi-channel marketing services (Fairfax Partners, GOLDINVEST, NAI Interactive), YouTube content, and SEDAR+ regulatory disclosures. Revenue will only arise once a mineral resource is delineated and a production decision is taken; this remains a multi-year exploration outcome.

Revenue model

1. Exploration Stage (Pre-Revenue): Kalo Gold is a pre-revenue gold exploration company. The company generates no operating revenue and is entirely dependent on capital markets (equity financings) to fund exploration activities at the Vatu Aurum Project in Fiji. The company will not generate revenue until and unless exploration successfully delineates an economically viable mineral resource that can be extracted and sold.

Core offering

Kalo Gold Corp. is a gold exploration company whose core offering is the 100%-owned, 367 km² Vatu Aurum Project on Vanua Levu, Fiji, targeting multiple low-sulphidation epithermal and diatreme-hosted gold systems within the Nubu Graben back-arc basin in the Pacific Ring of Fire. The company is pre-revenue and is funded entirely through equity capital markets; its deliverable is the systematic advancement of 25+ priority drill targets across three principal target areas (Aurum Prime/Qiriyaga Complex, Wainikoro, and Coqeloa) using an integrated exploration workflow of drilling, trenching, soil geochemistry, LiDAR, airborne magnetics, 3-D CSAMT geophysics, and field-based detectORE™ gold screening.

Product overview

Kalo Gold is a gold exploration company offering a single integrated exploration program anchored by the Vatu Aurum Project — a 367 km², 100%-owned district-scale property on Vanua Levu, Fiji. The project encompasses three principal target areas: Aurum Prime (featuring the Qiriyaga Complex with diatreme-hosted and epithermal gold mineralization), Wainikoro (an emerging preserved epithermal corridor), and Coqeloa (a vertically preserved epithermal target with porphyry-related features). The exploration workflow is supported by field technologies including the detectORE™ gold screening system (for rapid on-site sample analysis) and the TerraSpec Halo spectral mineralogy tool (for real-time alteration vectoring). These tools are integrated into a broader systematic exploration approach spanning drilling, trenching, soil geochemistry, LiDAR, airborne magnetics, and 3-D CSAMT geophysics to advance targets from early-stage definition through to drill-ready status.
