Kalo Gold Enters into a Definitive Agreement to Acquire 100% of An Alkalic-Related Gold System to Compliment the Flagship Vatu Aurum Gold Project

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICE

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2022 / KALO GOLD CORP. ("Kalo", "Kalo Gold" or the "Company") has entered into a share purchase agreement with certain vendors to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares (the "BCCo Shares") of 1271895 B.C. Ltd. ("BCCo"), a British Columbia company owned by the principals of Agentis Capital Mining Partners that holds a 100% interest in the AxelGold Property (the "Transaction"). The AxelGold Property ("AxelGold" or the "Property"), a 1,575-hectare property, is an alkalic related syenite porphyry gold-copper-molybdenum target located north central British Columbia, Canada approximately 150 kilometers (km) northeast of Smithers (Figure 1). The addition of a second alkalic related gold project compliments Kalo's flagship Vatu Aurum alkaline gold project and positions the Company as a global leader in discovery and advancement of this rare and high potential class of deposit.

A distinct class of epithermal precious metal deposits associated with rocks of alkaline affinity has been recognized and includes world class deposits such as the Vatukoula Mine in Fiji, Cripple Creek Mine in Colorado and the Porgera and Lihir mines in Papua New Guinea. AxelGold displays several characteristics associated with alkalic gold systems, most importantly an association with a syenite alkaline intrusive complex and mineralization associated with zones of stockwork (quartz-carbonate) veining, hydrothermal breccias, roscoelite, fluorite and disseminated pyrite.

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Company announces an offering of up to $150,000 of flow-through common shares of the Company, details below. Field exploration work is expected to commence during the last week of August 2022. Work on the Property will include a helicopter airborne geophysical survey and ground reconnaissance geological mapping and soil geochemical sampling program.

AxelGold Property Summary

Axelgold is an early stage greenfield alkalic related syenite intrusive-related gold prospect with a significant amount of historical exploration work. The Property is underlain by a multi-phase syenite feldspar porphyry proximal to the deep-seated Pinchi Fault system. Older Paleozoic Cache Creek Group, including ultramafic rocks, are juxtaposed against carbonaceous Triassic sediments of the Takla Group. These rocks are intruded by a +/-3km by +0.5km, Cretaceous, pyritic multiphase alkalic intrusive complex.

Exploration work conducted between 1984 and 2002 includes +2,900 soils, 550 rock samples, 2,091 meters (m) of diamond drilling in 16 holes that indicates that the +3km by 1km AxelGold syenite intrusive complex is gold bearing yet both it and its margins remain underexplored. Soil surveys identified seven strong large multi-element (Au-Sb-As-Mo-Cu-Zn-Pb) anomalies (up to 700 by 300m) within and immediately adjacent to the intrusive complex (Figure 2). Hydrothermal stages of alteration, including various styles of sericite (roscoelite & fuchsite?) carbonate alteration are recognized in drill core. The abundance of carbonate minerals and identification of tellurium in geochemistry results and roscoelite in alteration assemblages is diagnostic of alkaline related precious metal systems.

The best mineralization observed on the Property to date occurs in the valley bottom between diamond drill holes AX87-03 to AX87-06 in a poorly defined quartz-carbonate-fluorite stockwork zone approximately 650m long. The stockwork zones occur within silicified megacrystic feldspar syenite porphyry. The mineralized zones contain up to 3.12g/t gold (Au) over 5.79m in drill core and up to 12.6g/t Au in grab samples from surface trenching. Gold appears to be related to these stockwork zones and is associated with tellurides, chalcocite, pyrite, galena, sphalerite and stibnite mineralization.

In general, the elements of economic interest (Au, Mo and Cu) show a geochemical correlation with As, Sb and Pb. This is consistent with the presence of arsenopyrite, stibnite, galena, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite and secondary chalcocite associated with zones of mineralization on the Property. Although sphalerite has been noted on surface, the higher mobility of Zn in the surficial environment hampered its usefulness as a vector towards mineralization. Major elements such as K, Na, Ca and Ba were only analyzed for a minor portion of the samples and were therefore not of use in defining soil anomalies; soils were not analyzed for Te. Several more important gold intersections were encountered in diamond drilling and are summarized in Table 1 below.

Overview Commentary

Quoted from (Geological Fieldwork 2002, Paper 2003-1): Innovative Gold Targets in the Pinchi Fault/Hogem Batholith Area: The Hawk and Axelgold Properties, Central British Columbia, By JoAnne Nelson, Bob Carmichael and Michael Gray

Gold mineralization within the AxelGold syenite complex offers intriguing parallels with other alkalic-related Au deposits worldwide. Most important are the well-developed hydrothermal breccias, like those described in the Tertiary epithermal systems at Cripple Creek. Additional features include widespread carbonate alteration, the presence of green sericite, which may be in part the vanadium-rich mica roscoelite; Au associated with quartz, carbonate, fluorite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, galena and stibnite; and a geochemical association with Sb, As, Cu, Zn, Mo, and Pb. The geochemical signature of the Axelgold system shows moderately anomalous gold correlating with V, Sb, As, Cu, and Zn.

The alkalic-related suite embraces a wide variety of deposit types and associations, from epithermal mineralization at Lihir, Vatukoula, Porgera and Cripple Creek, to mesothermal Au-quartz veins at Kirkland Lake to a possible linkage with Au-Cu porphyries. The locus of mineralization may be within intrusive rocks, as at Porgera, in calderas as at Lihir, Vatukoula, and Cripple Creek, or along regional structures, as at Kirkland Lake.

The Transaction

Pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement, the Company intends to acquire 100% of all the issued and outstanding BCCo Shares from the shareholders of the BCCo (the "Vendors"). The purchase price for BCCo is CAD $500,000 and will be paid in full by issuing to the Vendors a total of 7,496,252 shares (the "Consideration Shares") at a price of $0.667 per share. The Vendors have agreed that the Consideration Shares will be subject to a voluntary hold period of one year from closing.

A private company to be incorporated for the benefit of the Vendors will retain a two (2%) percent net smelter returns royalty over the Property, including a two (2) kilometre area of interest extending from the external boundaries of the Property (the "Vendors Royalty"), which royalty shall be subject to the right of Kalo to buy back one-half (50%) of the Vendors Royalty, being a one (1%) percent net smelter returns royalty, at any time, for a purchase price of C$1,000,000 cash. The Transaction is subject to the closing of the flow-through equity financing, final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and is expected to close on or before 19 August 2022.

Flow-Through Financing

The Company announces that it intends to complete a flow-through equity financing by way of a non-brokered private placement for aggregate proceeds of up to $150,000 (the "Offering").
