Angkor Resources Reports Visual Copper Mineralization In 2026 Drill Core From Andong BOR License, Cambodia

TheNewswire - ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: ANK OTCQB: ANKOF) (“ANGKOR” OR “THE COMPANY”) announces preliminary geological observations from the logging of diamond drill core completed during the first phase of 2026 drill program at the Thmei North (“TN”) target on the Andong Bor mineral exploration license in Cambodia. The Company is currently splitting the 2026 drill core in preparation for sending samples to ALS in Phnom Penh for analysis. OBSERVARTIONS AT A GLANCE The best copper mineralization in the Andong Bor core is hosted by metasedimentary rocks. Assay values from the feldspar porphyry intrusive rocks are mostly at or below 2,000 parts per million (ppm) copper; values increase dramatically in proximity to the highly reactive wall rock. Visually significant copper mineralization was observed as chalcopyrite occupying fractures in the metasedimentary rocks, and as ‘B’ and ‘D’ veins in the intrusive rocks. The structural relationship between the intrusive rock and the host sedimentary rock has now been revealed for the first time: contacts are very steep, from 70 to 80 degrees. Hole AB26-012D cored pyrite-dominant mineralization frequently downdip for the first 200 meters from the surface, suggesting the possibility of gold mineralization. The Andong Bor license is 100.28 square kilometers and straddles Oddar Meanchey and Banteay Meanchey provinces. Thmei North is located on relatively flat farmland and is defined by an approximately one-square-kilometer copper-in-auger-soil anomaly. The three new holes (ABDDH26-010 to -012) are visually similar to previously drilled holes and should return similar analytical results. THMEI NORTH — COPPER HOSTED IN THE METASEDIMENTARY ROCKS Visually, it is clear that the best copper mineralization in the Andong Bor diamond drill core is hosted by the metasedimentary rocks. Although the feldspar porphyry intrusive rocks can host copper porphyry style mineralization, such as ‘B’ and ‘D’ style veins and disseminations, the values from assay to date are mostly at or below 2,000 ppm copper. In proximity to the highly reactive wall rock, assay values increase dramatically. These are the observations made by examining the diamond drill holes from the 2016 drill program. The drilling in 2026 was designed to better intersect the north-south trending, steeply east dipping bands of intrusive dikes and highly reactive metasedimentary rock. The drilling did this quite successfully, resulting in some visually significant copper mineralization in the form of chalcopyrite occupying fractures in the metasedimentary rocks, and both ‘B’ and ‘D’ veins in the intrusive rocks. Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, comments: “Visually it is clear that the best copper mineralization in this core is hosted by the metasedimentary rocks. The intrusive can carry porphyry style mineralization — the ‘B’ and ‘D’ veins and the disseminations are there — but assays to date from the intrusive are mostly at or below 2,000 ppm copper. In proximity to the highly reactive wall rock, the values increase dramatically. That is exactly what these holes were designed to intersect, and the core we are splitting now looks very much like the holes we have drilled before.”
