Angkor Resources Initiates Diamond Drill Program At Andong Bor Copper-Gold Target, Cambodia

ANK · Price

Executive Summary

  • Angkor Resources Corp. announced a 2,800-meter diamond drilling program targeting the Thmei North copper-gold anomaly within its Andong Bor license in Cambodia.
  • The program is staged in two phases: an initial 1,200 meters across three holes beginning June 24, 2026, followed by a second phase of 1,600 meters scheduled for early 2027.
  • Drilling will be oriented eastward to optimally intersect north-northwest striking, steeply west-dipping mineralized structures, based on geological insights from 2025 drilling.

Key Details

  • Total Program: 2,800 meters of diamond drilling planned over an 8-month period.
  • Phase 1: 1,200 meters in three 400-meter holes starting June 24, 2026, timed to complete before the heavy rainy season.
  • Phase 2: Remaining 1,600 meters to be drilled in early 2027 once fields are dry and crops are harvested.
  • Target Area: Thmei North, a 1-square-kilometer copper anomaly within the 100.28 sq km Andong Bor license (straddling Oddar Meanchey and Banteay Meanchey provinces).
  • Drilling Orientation: Eastward to cut across mineralized beds rather than parallel to them, maximizing intersections of favorable host rocks.
  • Geological Model: Modified copper porphyry system; primary mineralization occurs in potassic-altered sediments adjacent to feldspar porphyry diorite dikes ranging from a few meters to tens of meters in width.
  • Sampling Protocol: Core will be logged, photographed, and sampled, with selected intervals dispatched for assay as drilling progresses.
  • Thmei South Next Steps: Requires additional auger soil geochemistry to extend the existing copper anomaly southward and define its full extent; designated for future drill programs.
  • Oil & Gas Update (EnerCam Subsidiary): Holds ~4,095 km² onshore license (Block VIII). Completed 2D-seismic in 2025, identifying multiple drill targets. Environmental Impact Assessment submitted for approval. Plans to drill Cambodia’s first privately financed onshore exploratory oil/gas wells under a Production Sharing Contract.
  • Qualified Person: Dennis Ouellette, B.Sc., P.Geo., VP Exploration, APEGA #104257.

Notable Quotes

  • Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration: “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 best copper sits in the potassic-altered sediments next to the feldspar porphyry diorite dikes, and an eastward orientation lets us cut the most of that favorable host as we pass in and out of the intrusive dikes.”
