Angkor Resources Drills Initial Program at Andong Bor Copper-Gold Target

ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: ANK OTCQB: ANKOF) has announced the completion of the first phase of its diamond drilling program at the Andong Bor copper-gold target in Cambodia. The initial 1,099 meters of a planned 2,800-meter program were drilled in mid-July at the Thmei North target, a one-square-kilometer copper anomaly. The program is staged around Cambodia's seasons, with the remaining 1,700 meters scheduled for early 2027 after the fields dry and crops are harvested. Drilling encountered encouraging mineralization, with two of the three holes intersecting good porphyry and skarn mineralization over 400 meters each, including well-mineralized skarn sections. The third hole featured a continuous run of over 200 meters with pyrite mineralization up to 20%. The core is being logged, and assays will follow as the program progresses.

The drilling strategy at Thmei North targets eastward-oriented holes to better intersect mineralized beds, based on 2025 drilling that revealed north-northwest striking, steeply west-dipping structures. In this modified copper porphyry model, the best mineralization occurs within potassic-altered sediments adjacent to feldspar porphyry diorite dikes. The Andong Bor license spans 100.28 square kilometers across Oddar Meanchey and Banteay Meanchey provinces. VP Exploration Dennis Ouellette, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has reviewed the technical disclosures.

Beyond copper and gold exploration, Angkor Resources is also advancing oil and gas exploration in Cambodia through its subsidiary EnerCam Resources, holding an onshore license in Block VIII. The company completed 2D seismic in 2025 and plans to drill Cambodia's first privately financed onshore exploratory wells. This dual focus positions Angkor as a key player in Cambodia's resource development, with the potential to unlock significant mineral and energy resources.
