ANGKOR RESOURCES REPORTS COPPER MINERALIZATION OVER 286 METRES AT
THMEI NORTH PROSPECT, CAMBODIA
GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA March 11, 2026): ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: ANK)
(“ANGKOR” OR “THE COMPANY”) reports results from diamond drill hole AB25-009 completed at the Thmei
North copper target on the Andong Bor mineral exploration license in Cambodia. The drill hole returned copper
mineralization over the entire 286.2 metres sampled, with grades increasing significantly at depth.
Diamond drill hole AB25-009 was completed on July 18, 2025, to a depth of 312.2 metres. The hole was drilled near
vertical and sampled continuously over 286.2 metres, returning an overall average of 1,309 parts per million (ppm)
copper (0.13% Cu).
Notably, copper grades increased with depth. The bottom 67.3 metres of the hole averaged 2,181 ppm copper (0.22%
Cu), including a 52.6- metre interval grading 2,493 ppm copper (0.25% Cu). The hole ended in mineralization,
suggesting the copper-bearing system continues at depth.
The upper portion of the hole cored a medium -grained diorite — a dense, granite-like rock — to a depth of 244.9
metres. Throughout this section, the drill core contained small quartz veins carrying iron and copper minerals. At
244.9 metres, the hole crossed into hornfels, which are older sedimentary rocks that have been hardened by heat from
the nearby diorite intrusion. Within the hornfels, the number of mineral -bearing veins increased significantly, and
copper content rose accordingly.
Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, commented, “What is encouraging about this hole is the increase in copper grade
as we moved deeper into the hornfels. The contact between the diorite and the hornfels is very steep, meaning the
diorite intruded along near -vertical structures. The mineralized quartz veins follow these same structures, and the
hornfels hosts more veins and higher copper grades. Importantly, we also see copper mineralization within the diorite
itself — both in veins and as fine grains scattered through the rock — which tells us there is good potential for copper
in both rock types.”
Ouellette added, “These results reinforce our view that the strongest mineralization is concentrated near or within the
wall rock — the hornfels surrounding the diorite intrusions. However, with so little drilling completed on this target,
we are still in the early stages of understanding the full picture. This deposit is a bit of a hybrid — what geologists
call a porphyry copper-related skarn — where small bodies of diorite and feldspar porphyry dikes have intruded into
highly receptive siltstone and volcaniclastic rocks. We need to drill more holes to find the areas of most consistent
mineralization. That said, the hornfels shows potassic alteration, which is a strong indicator that we are in the right
area — and 52.6 metres of 0.25% copper is a very good start.”
Ouellette also noted that early potassic alteration has been overprinted by later chlorite-sericite and phyllic alteration
— an alteration sequence typical of copper porphyry systems, which is the style of deposit the Company is exploring
for at Thmei North.
A second drill hole, AB25-010, was started on July 20, 2025, but was halted due to the Cambodia -Thailand border
conflict in the northwest region. Safety of staff and personnel remains the Company’s top priority, and activities on
the Andong Bor license are on hold until conditions allow safe resumption.
ABOUT THE THMEI NORTH COPPER TARGET:
Thmei North is located on relatively flat farmland and is defined by an approximately one -square-kilometre copper
soil anomaly. An earlier target, Thmei South, is located roughly three kilometres to the south and was the site of a
2
historical diamond drill hole (ABDDH16-006) completed in 2016. That hole cored diorite for the upper 135 metres,
with the remaining 127 metres described as hornfels containing a stockwork of veins with copper and other sulphide
minerals. The lower portion of this historical hole was never sampled.
The Company will assist year-five students at the Cambodian Institute of Technology in a study of ABDDH16-006,
providing additional data on the copper potential of the Thmei area and advancing the degrees of Cambodia’s future
geologists.

ABOUT ANGKOR RESOURCES CORPORATION:
ANGKOR Resources Corp. is a public company, listed on the TSX -Venture Exchange, and is a leading resource
optimizer in Cambodia working towards mineral and energy solutions across Cambodia. The company’s Cambodian
mineral subsidiary, Angkor Gold Corp. 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, was granted an onshore oil and gas license of 7300
square kilometres in the southwest quadrant of Cambodia called Block VIII. The company then removed all parks
and protected areas and added 220 square kilo metres, making the license area just over 4095 square kilo metres.
EnerCam is actively advancing oil and gas exploration activities onshore to meet its mission to prove Cambodia as
an oil and gas producing Nation. The Company completed seismic in 2025, and has identified multiple drill targets
with multiple target zones. As it now works to complete an Environmental Impact Assessment on the drilling target
areas, the Company plans to follow with drilling Cambodia’s first onshore oil & gas exploratory wells.
