ANGKOR RESOURCES DRILLS INITIAL PROGRAM AT ANDONG BOR
COPPER-GOLD TARGET, CAMBODIA
GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA (August 19, 2026): ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: ANK OTCQB:
ANKOF) (“ANGKOR” OR “THE COMPANY”) announces that a total of 2,800 meters of diamond
drilling was planned for the Andong Bor copper-gold target in Cambodia and the first 1099 meters
was completed in mid July on the Thmei North (“TN”) target, a one -square-kilometer copper
anomaly.
The program was staged around the Cambodian seasons: an initial portion in three holes and the
balance of the program to follow in early 2027 once the fields are dry and the crops have been
harvested.
Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, comments: “Two of the three holes drilled this year
encountered good porphyry and skarn mineralization over the 400 meters each was drilled.
Portions of skarn were especially well mineralized. The third hole contained a run of over 200
meters with continuous pyrite mineralization up to 20%.”
DRILL PROGRAM AT A GLANCE
• Total program: 2,800 meters of diamond drilling planned with phase one just completed
before heaviest rains and a further minimum of 1700 meters at the TN copper -gold target
over the coming next 8 months.
• Second phase: the remaining 1, 700 meters to be drilled in early 2027, once the fields are dry
and the crops have been harvested to minimize crop damage and ease access to targets .
• Hole orientation: the three initial holes w ere drilled to the east to better intersect the
mineralized beds and the subsequent holes of phase two will follow the same pattern .
• Core will be logged, photographed, and sampled, with selected intervals dispatched for assay
as the program progresses.
NEXT STEPS
The core from the 1,099 meters already drilled is being logged over the next few weeks and then it will
be cut, sampled, and sent for assays. The second phase of the Thmei North drill program and activity
on Thmei South will continue in 2027.

THMEI NORTH — DRILLING TO THE EAST
The Andong Bor license is 100.28 square kilometers and straddles Oddar Meanchey and Banteay
Meanchey provinces. Drilling completed in 2025 showed that the main structures controlling
mineralization are north -northwest (NNW) striking and steeply west dipping. Th us the holes of
Thmei North are being drilled to the east in order to better intersect the mineralized beds.

In this modified copper porphyry model, the best mineralization is found within potassic -altered
sediments adjacent to feldspar porphyry diorite dikes of varying widths. The intrusive dikes vary in
width from a few meters to tens of meters. By drilling to the eas t, the Company will maximize
mineralized sedimentary rock interceptions as it drills through alternating lithologies of intrusive
and sedimentary rocks.

ABOUT ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP .
ANGKOR Resources Corp. is a public company, listed on the TSX -Venture Exchange, and is a leading resource
explorer and developer in Cambodia working towards mineral and energy solutions across the country. The
Company's mineral subsidiary, Angkor Gold Corp. Co., Ltd., currently holds two mineral exploration licenses in
Cambodia with multiple prospects in copper and gold. Both licenses are in their first two -year renewal term.
Angkor’s Cambodian energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Co., Ltd., was granted an onshore oil and gas license
in the southwest quadrant of Cambodia called Block VIII. The license covers an area of approximately 4095 square
kilometers. EnerCam is actively advancing oil and gas exploration activities onshore to meet its mission to prove
Cambodia as a nation with its own oil and gas resources. The Company completed 2D-seismic in 2025 and has
identified multiple drill targets with multiple target zones. The Company plans to follow with drilling Cambodia’s
first privately financed onshore exploratory oil and gas wells under a Production Sharing Contract .
