Angkor Resources Commences Drilling at Gossan Hills and Wild Boar Prospects in Cambodia

Angkor Resources Corp. has begun diamond drilling at the Andong Meas license in Cambodia, targeting copper at Gossan Hills and gold at Wild Boar, advancing key prospects along a mineralized trend.

Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK) announced that diamond drilling has commenced on the Andong Meas (ADM) mineral exploration license in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia. The program will test the Gossan Hills copper drill targets identified by the company's recently completed Induced Polarization (IP) survey, followed by follow-up 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 includes a minimum of 1,100 metres of diamond drilling at Gossan Hills/Canada Wall, with additional follow-up metres at Wild Boar. Three holes are planned at Gossan Hills/Canada Wall and approximately two holes at Wild Boar. Hole depths range from approximately 200 to 500 metres per hole, with final depths confirmed based on geology and recovery. Drilling is operating 24 hours per day to advance quickly.
The Gossan Hills holes directly follow up on the 20 line-kilometre IP survey completed in May 2026 (Angkor Resources Identifies Copper Drill Targets Adjacent to Canada Wall Copper Porphyry Project, Cambodia, May 7, 2026). That survey returned several chargeability anomalies aligning with the company's 2022 ground magnetic features and copper-in-soil geochemistry. Two priority areas will be tested first: the Northern target, where the underground electrical signature crosses into the southern edge of the Canada Wall copper target, potentially imaging the 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 align, defining a separate zinc-lead target.
Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, stated: "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."
As part of the same mobilization, the company plans to drill approximately two follow-up holes at the Wild Boar gold prospect, located about 3 kilometres east of the CZ Gold prospect on the same license. Wild Boar was the subject of an initial drill program in 2025 and is defined by a 1.5 by 1.2 kilometre gold-in-soil and quartz-float anomaly with narrow northwest-trending, southwest-dipping quartz veins. Float and surface samples have previously returned values up to 25.6 grams per tonne gold (Assay Returns 25.6 GPT Gold in Wild Boar Veins). The follow-up holes aim to test the strength and orientation of gold-bearing structures at depth.
Drilling is conducted around the clock on a 24-hour rotation. Early mobilization progressed efficiently, and the program is advancing quickly. Core will be transported to the company's Banlung facility to be logged, photographed, and sampled, with selected intervals dispatched to ALS for assay as the program progresses.
