# Kalo Gold Samples 16,361 dU \(~16.36 g/t Au est.\) at New Kope Road North Occurrence as Wainikoro Heads Toward January Drilling Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/kalo-gold-samples-16-361-du-16-36-g-t-au-est-at-new-kope-road-north-occurrence-a--c50863c3-aced-4cec-bb7e-b28d0be2b32a Original source: https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/press-releases/2933-tsx-venture/kalo/212723-kalo-gold-samples-16-361-du-16-36-g-t-au-est-at-new-kope-road-north-occurrence-as-wainikoro-heads-toward-january-drilling.html Publisher: jmn Original announcement: 2026-10-13T07:42:09.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-13T12:22:51.049Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-13T12:22:51.049Z - Company: Kalo Gold Corp. - Ticker: KALO - Exchange: TSXV - Region: Fiji - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Other, Metallurgy - Extracted: 2026-10-13 12:22:51 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Kalo Gold has reported high gold field-screening results at the new Kope Road North occurrence within the Vatu Aurum Project in Fiji. The standout sample returned 16,361 dU \(~16.36 g/t Au est.\), with several other anomalous responses identified in the surrounding area. The company is advancing geophysical and trenching programs in preparation for drilling scheduled for January 2027. Reasoning: The release reports significant semi-quantitative gold responses from surface grab sampling, which expands the target area ahead of planned January 2027 drilling, though the lack of certified assays limits geological confidence. - Positive factor: High field-screening gold response \(16,361 dU\) - Positive factor: Multiple anomalous gold responses in surrounding area - Positive factor: Expansion of exploration interest at Wainikoro - Negative factor: Results are semi-quantitative field-screening \(detectORE™\), not certified assays - Negative factor: Grab samples are selective and not necessarily representative - Negative factor: Spatial association does not demonstrate continuity Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The results are positioned near the New Vein Cluster and an interpreted IP resistivity corridor. Evidence · text > Kope Road North lies approximately 900 metres southwest of the New Vein Cluster **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: The results are semi-quantitative field-screening \(detectORE™\) and are not certified assays. Evidence · text > detectORE™ dU values are semi-quantitative field-screening results and are not certified assays. **Multi-Domain Tested** Polarity: positive Definition: Variability across ore domains \(oxide, transition, fresh\) has been addressed. Why it applies: 3 distinct composites were tested ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
