Angkor Resources Adds Fourth Drilling Target in Cambodia's Block VIII

Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK), a leading resource optimizer with operations in Canada and Cambodia, has announced a significant expansion of its exploration program in Cambodia's Block VIII oil and gas license area. The company's Cambodian energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources, has identified Mussel Basin as a fourth high-priority drilling target based on preliminary data from a recently completed 350-line kilometre 2D seismic program. This discovery follows the earlier identification of three significant closed anticline structures in the South, Central, and North Bokor sub-basins on the western half of the 4,095 square kilometre Block VIII. The seismic data suggests Mussel Basin is a structurally distinct, rift fault-bounded basin of probable Cenozoic age, offering potentially shallower drilling targets and higher reservoir porosity compared to the other prospects.

Keith Edwards, Geophysicist for EnerCam, highlighted the unique advantages of the Mussel Basin target, noting that shallower drilling depths and potentially higher porosity due to less compaction make it an attractive prospect. The team is specifically reviewing the data for stratigraphic traps, such as reservoirs that pinch out against sealing rock or porous channel sands encased in impermeable shale, which could indicate significant hydrocarbon accumulations. The company anticipates completing a full seismic interpretation in December to prioritize drill targets, while ongoing reprocessing of specific data areas aims to remove 'noise' for better resolution and clearer definition of drilling objectives. This systematic approach underscores Angkor's methodical advancement toward proving Cambodia as an oil and gas producing nation.

Beyond its Cambodian energy pursuits, Angkor Resources demonstrates a diversified portfolio and commitment to environmental responsibility. The company's Canadian subsidiary, EnerCam Exploration Ltd., has been involved in oil and gas production in Saskatchewan since 2022, incorporating gas capture measures to reduce emissions as part of a long-term carbon capture and conservation project. Additionally, the company's mineral subsidiary, Angkor Gold Corp., holds two mineral exploration licenses in Cambodia with multiple copper and gold prospects.
