Angkor Resources Begins Diamond Drilling at Andong Meas License in Cambodia

Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK) announced that diamond drilling has commenced on the Andong Meas mineral exploration license in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia. The program will test copper drill targets at Gossan Hills, identified by a recent Induced Polarization (IP) survey, and follow up with holes at the Wild Boar gold prospect.

The Andong Meas license hosts multiple advanced targets along the same mineralized trend, including the Canada Wall porphyry copper target, the Gossan Hills copper-iron skarn, the CZ Gold prospect, and the Wild Boar gold prospect. The current drill campaign is designed to advance two of these targets in a single mobilization, taking advantage of the dry-season window.

The total program comprises a minimum of 1,100 metres of diamond drilling, with three holes planned at Gossan Hills/Canada Wall and approximately two holes at Wild Boar. Hole depths range from 200 to 500 metres, with final depths confirmed in the field based on geology and recovery. Operations run 24 hours per day for quick advancement.

At Gossan Hills, the holes directly follow up on the 20 line-kilometre IP survey completed in May 2026, which returned several chargeability anomalies aligning with 2022 ground magnetic features and copper-in-soil geochemistry. Two priority areas will be tested: the northern target, where the underground electrical signature crosses into the southern edge of the Canada Wall copper target, potentially imaging a connection between the Gossan Hills zone and the Canada Wall porphyry system; and the Line 6 target, where the underground electrical signature, surface magnetite, and zinc-lead in soils all line up, defining a separate zinc-lead target.

Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, commented: “These are the holes we have been working toward for several years on this license. The IP signature, the magnetics, and the soil geochemistry all point to the same trend, and the Gossan Hills skarn sits right where the model would predict relative to the Canada Wall porphyry. We are looking for copper grade and continuity at depth.”

At the Wild Boar gold prospect, approximately two follow-up holes are planned to test the strength and orientation of gold-bearing structures at depth. Wild Boar is defined by a 1.5 by 1.2 kilometre gold-in-soil and quartz-float anomaly with narrow northwest-trending veins, where surface samples have returned values up to 25.6 grams per tonne gold (as previously reported).

Drilling is being conducted around the clock, with core transported to the Company’s Banlung facility for logging, photographing, and sampling. Selected intervals will be dispatched to ALS for assay.

This program represents a significant step for Angkor Resources as it advances its Cambodian mineral projects, building on earlier geophysical and geochemical work. The results could provide key insights into the copper and gold potential along the mineralized trend.
