Angkor Resources Launches Diamond Drill Program at Andong Bor Copper-Gold Target in Cambodia

Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK) announced the start of a 2,800-meter diamond drilling program at its Andong Bor copper-gold target in Cambodia, with the first phase of 1,200 meters beginning June 24, 2026. The drilling will focus on the Thmei North target, a one-square-kilometer copper anomaly, and is staged around the Cambodian seasons to optimize access.

The initial phase comprises three 400-meter holes drilled to the east, designed to intersect mineralized beds perpendicular to their orientation. This approach follows insights from 2025 drilling, which revealed that the main structures controlling mineralization strike north-northwest and dip steeply west. By drilling eastward, the company aims to maximize interception of potassic-altered sediments adjacent to feldspar porphyry diorite dikes, where the best copper mineralization occurs.

Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, stated: 'Our 2025 drilling told us how this system is oriented. The structures controlling mineralization are north-northwest striking and steeply west dipping, so by drilling to the east we put the core across the mineralized beds rather than down them.' The balance of the program, an additional 1,600 meters, is planned for early 2027 once fields are dry and crops harvested.

The Andong Bor license spans 100.28 square kilometers across Oddar Meanchey and Banteay Meanchey provinces. Core from the drilling will be logged, photographed, and sampled, with selected intervals dispatched for assay as the program progresses. The Thmei South target, which requires further auger soil geochemistry to extend the copper anomaly southward, will be the focus of subsequent drill programs.

The company is advancing its mineral and energy exploration in Cambodia. Its mineral subsidiary, Angkor Gold Corp., holds two exploration licenses with multiple copper and gold prospects. Additionally, its energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources, holds an onshore oil and gas license (Block VIII) covering approximately 4,095 km² and has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment for drilling targets identified through 2D-seismic completed in 2025.

Angkor Resources is a leading resource explorer and developer in Cambodia, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ANK. The company is committed to proving Cambodia as a nation with its own oil and gas resources while advancing its mineral portfolio. More information is available at angkorresources.com.
