ANGKOR RESOURCES REPORTS VISUAL COPPER MINERALIZATION IN
2026 DRILL CORE FROM ANDONG BOR LICENSE, CAMBODIA
GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA (September 1, 2026): 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 (see
ANGKOR RESOURCES DRILLS INITIAL PROGRAM AT ANDONG BOR COPPER-GOLD
TARGET, CAMBODIA – Angkor Resources Corp). 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.

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.”

STEEP CONTACTS AND GROUND PREPARATION
The structural relationship between the intrusive rock and the host sedimentary rock was not
revealed in the previous drilling (ABDDH16-005, -006, -007 and -008), as all the contacts were
faulted or there was poor core recovery at those sites. The 2026 drilling has now shown that the
contacts are very steep — from 70 to 80 degrees. Mineralization within the sediments is both
disseminated and along fractures parallel to these contacts. This implies significant ground
preparation pre intrusion and mineralization.
H O LE AB2 6- 012D — PYRITE AND A POSSIBLE GOLD SIGNATURE
Hole AB26-012D was testing the western boundaries of the copper mineralization, approximately
150 metres further east of any previously drilled hole and well within the greater than one square
kilometre copper-in-auger-soil anomaly. Preliminary observation suggests poor copper
mineralization, although abundant pyrite-dominant mineralization suggests the possibility of gold
mineralization, as it does descriptively resemble other gold targets in the Loei Fold Belt. Dominant
pyrite mineralization is frequent for 200 metres from surface. This could be a different phase of
the same mineralizing event, or an entirely different event.
Ouellette adds: “The third hole is a different story. There is very little copper in it, but there is a
great deal of pyrite — frequently for the first 200 metres from surface — and it descriptively
resembles other gold targets in the Loei Fold Belt. It could be a different phase of the same
mineralizing event, or an entirely different event. The assays will tell us which.”
O P ERATIO N S
Core from the first phase of the 2026 program is being logged, photographed and split at the
Company’s core facility, with samples dispatched to ALS in Phnom Penh for analysis. Results will
be reported as they are received and interpreted.
N EXT STEP S
Next steps will continue to find the boundaries of the copper mineralization both on Thmei North
and also on Thmei South, which remains largely unexplored. Thmei South is located roughly three
kilometres to the south of Thmei North and requires further auger soil geochemistry to extend
the existing copper geochemical anomaly and determine its full extent. The second phase of the
Thmei North drill program and activity on Thmei South will continue in 2027, once the fields are
dry and the crops have been harvested.

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
4
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.
