ANGKOR UPDATE ON GROUND-BREAKING AGREEMENT
WITH INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
GRANDE PRAIRIE, AB, (Nov. 23, 2021): Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK and OTC: ANKOF)
(“Angkor” or “the Company”) proudly announces an update on its ‘industry-first, precedent-setting
agreement with Indigenous Jarai communities in Ratanakiri province.
In May 2021, Angkor completed its agreement to work with the indigenous communities in a cradle-to-
grave model for mineral development on the lands of the Jarai people in Andong Meas district. The
agreement covers all facets of the mineral sector, from prospecting through development, production, and
reclamation and is intended to align the parties so they work in parallel as they move both community and
industry projects forward.
On behalf of the Canadian government and posted in Cambodia, Jan Scazighino, Chargé d’Affaires of the
Embassy of Canada Office in Cambodia, noted, “Canada and Cambodia have important indigenous
populations. I am so proud to see Angkor Resources working hard to help local Cambodian indigenous
groups. Their approach seems to be a big win: for Cambodia, for indigenous groups here, for Canada, as well
as for the environment”.
Mike Weeks, who spearheaded the agreement negotiations, comments, “These projects are so important to
the status of a community when it is applying for autonomy like their community land titles. To date, this
has been a very successful relationship and we are proud to set this example in the country.”

Local communities contribute the vast majority of components, supply all the labor, and all local supplies
like wood, etc. Angkor’s agreement calls for a collaborative approach and the Company’s contributions on
this project tend to range from roofing materials, cement, and furnishings for an office.
As part of the ground-breaking agreement with local Indigenous People on the Andong Meas license, the
Company has contributed to the building of a community/admin center. The center was identified by the
community as a priority to have an administrative venue as part of its goal to acquire its land titles from the
Government of Cambodia and to administer their own internal micro-finance model to community
members. This community/admin center marks a starting point for the community as it protect itself from
having their lands being depleted by land grabs or from misleading claims for portions of their lands
unknowingly pledged by community members.
The bi-lateral agreement incorporates Angkor participating in helping communities meet their needs, which
includes teaching community members basic recordkeeping, filing and administrative skills that will help
them acquire independence and community strength.
The Andong Meas license, which is 118 square kilometres on which the Jarai people have lived for decades,
also hosts Angkor’s prospects of Canada Wall, Gossan Hills, Wild Boar, and South Creek. Members of the
community work with the Company on the numerous exploration campaigns.
