Angkor Resources Finds Rare Earth Elements on its Gossan Hills
Prospect, Cambodia
GRANDE PRAIRIE, AB, ( November 16, 2021): Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK and OTC: ANKOF)
(“Angkor” or “the Company”) announces exploration on its 100%-owned Andong Meas license in
Cambodia has assayed 450 ppm in soils of Rare Earth Elements (REE) at the Gossan Hills Prospect.
The Company identified the Gossan Hills prospect on the Andong Meas license over the past several
months. Angkor is pleased the initial assays on soil geochemistry indicate the presence of REEs on the
prospect with sums up to 450 ppm in selected areas.
Dennis Ouellette , VP of Exploration comments on the mineralization, “It appears that the REE
mineralization is replacing metamorphosed carbonate rocks adjacent to intrusive granodiorite. The
initial numbers of the 17 REE’s (Total Rare Earth Oxides) sum over 450 ppm with Scandium adding over
200 ppm. Worthy of consideration, thresholds of 500 ppm, have in some cases become commercially
viable in areas of China where the REEs are close to surface and located in easily-recoverable medium
like la terites, on top of diorites and syenites. Specific REE’s can be extremely valuable so small
amounts can generate significant returns“.
The next steps will be to complete a full correlation coefficient on the results from the REE initial
analysis. The elements that have a strong association with REE can also be sourced elsewhere on the
prospect. T he correlating elements may lead to other areas, yet untested for REE. A grid mapping
survey has recently been completed on the prospect and that will be cross checked for this soil
geochemistry. It would determine if and where areas from the grid display anomalous values of such
identifying elements.
Previous Induced Polarization (IP) and magnetic survey over Gossan Hills is currently being re -
processed which will assist in developing a useful new profile for the area. Further exploration for REE
specific zones will be applied and identification of the source rock will become follow-up steps.
Delayne Weeks comments, “ This presents a very new and exciting development. We now need to
determine if areas on Andong Meas have sufficient commercial quantities of specific high-value REE’s.”
A follow-up program across the prospect is being outlined for further exploration over the upcoming
months.
