# Kalo Gold Confirm Gold-Silver Electrum at Wainikoro, Sharpening Drill Targeting at Vatu Aurum Project, Fiji Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/kalo-gold-confirm-gold-silver-electrum-at-wainikoro-sharpening-drill-targeting-a--9c4e7656-3e17-4eb4-957e-7b79050f9fab Original source: https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/press-releases/2933-tsx-venture/kalo/211939-kalo-gold-confirm-gold-silver-electrum-at-wainikoro-sharpening-drill-targeting-at-vatu-aurum-project-fiji.html Publisher: jmn Original announcement: 2026-09-29T04:08:17.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-09-29T15:46:23.294Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-09-29T15:46:23.294Z - Company: Kalo Gold Corp. - Ticker: KALO - Exchange: TSXV - Region: Fiji - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-29 15:46:24 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Kalo Gold has identified fine-grained gold-silver electrum within drill core at the Wainikoro area of the Vatu Aurum Project in Fiji. The mineralogical study, conducted via SEM-EDS, provides direct evidence of a gold-silver phase and supports a structurally controlled hydrothermal model for the system. Reasoning: The announcement reports mineralogical findings \(electrum identification\) rather than new assay intercepts, providing geological insight but no new grade data. - Positive factor: Direct mineralogical evidence of gold-silver electrum - Positive factor: Supports structurally controlled hydrothermal model - Positive factor: Identification of arsenic as a valid exploration vector - Negative factor: Single grain observation is not representative of deposit scale - Negative factor: No new assay results reported Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release mentions ALS Limited \(Australia\) as the laboratory and notes they are NATA accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Evidence · text > ALS is accredited by NATA to ISO/IEC 17025 **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: While assay QA/QC is mentioned for historical data, the mineralogical SEM-EDS results do not include standard assay QA/QC protocols. Evidence · text > These mineralogical characterization techniques are not commercial assay methods. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

Evidence · text > The principal assayed gold interval in the hole returned 1.61 grams per tonne \("g/t"\) gold over 1.50 metres at approximately 150 metres downhole \(previously disclosed in the Company's news release dated 30 June 2026\). #### Tags used in scoring **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Dryden Gold Reports Visible Gold in its First Drill Program at Mud Lake North MORE MINING NEWS Revival Gold Reports Addi" ### VA26-DH19 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/kalo-gold-confirm-gold-silver-electrum-at-wainikoro-sharpening-drill-targeting-a--9c4e7656-3e17-4eb4-957e-7b79050f9fab#fact-drill-facts-1) Vatu Aurum · silver #### Identity - Hole ID: VA26-DH19 - Project: Vatu Aurum - Commodity: silver - Region: fiji - Reported Region: fiji - Ticker: KALO #### Geometry - Grade: 68.6 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 1.12 m - From: 189.88 m - To: 191 m - Intercept Depth: 189.88 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: VA26-DH19:189.88-191 #### QA/QC - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
