Sampling and Mapping Program At Angkor’s
Wild Boar and Wild Monkey Prospects Results In
20.6 GPT Gold Grab Sample
Sexsmith, AB, (June 21, 2018): Angkor Gold Corp. (TSXV: ANK and OTC: ANKOF)
(“Angkor” or “the Company”) CEO Stephen Burega is pleased to provide an update on the
recent mapping and sampling program at Angkor’s Andong Meas License in Cambodia.
HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights of exploration at Wild Boar and Wild Monkey prospects include:
● Multiple grab samples from Wild Boar returned gold values of up to 20.6 gpt;
● Completed geological mapping and prospecting program at Wild Monkey with the Institute of
Technology of Cambodia (ITC);
● Evidence of multiple mineralized epithermal quartz veins; and,
● Evidence of skarn type alteration in the Wild Monkey prospect
The primary purpose of the mapping and sampling program was to follow up and define gold
targets such as Wild Boar. The geological data, combined with earlier geochemical and
geophysical surveys will provide the necessary data for the identification of drill targets.
“This is not the first time we have found impressive gold results in Andong Meas,” said Angkor’s
President, J.P. Dau. “We expected elevated gold concentrations around the artisanal mining
areas which the assays have now confirmed. What makes them even more exciting is that with
Wild Boar and Wild Monkey we have now identified four anomalous gold zones at Andong Meas.
These results are a critical step in planning our next drill program on the property.”

PREVIOUS EXPLORATION
The Andong Meas License hosts the Company’s Canada Wall copper molybdenum gold porphyry
system and the adjacent South Creek copper porphyry system prospect as well as several gold
targets, including the Wild Boar which has seen extensive artisanal mining in the past and Wild
Monkey that showed multiple surface samples with gold grade up to 3.93 gpt. Exploration this
season was designed to re-sample the higher grade showings around Wild Boar and map and
sample the quartz vein material found in Wild Monkey. Rock chip and grab samples are selected
samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.
GEOLOGICAL MAPPING AND MINERALIZATION STYLES
Institute of Technology of Cambodia geologists worked with Angkor’s senior exploration team to
complete further mapping of a 24 km2 section of Angkor’s Andong Meas License. The highly
prospective gold area mapped was not previously examined in detail by Angkor’s geological staff.
The mapping program in the Wild Monkey area showed several dominant rock types including
the metamorphic basement rocks consisting of gneisses and marbles, granites, diorites, and flood
basalt. Little to no work has been previously done to differentiate rock types within the
metamorphic basement rocks in northeast Cambodia. Mineralized quartz vein in float and outcrop
were found throughout the mapping area with the best samples submitted to ALS for analysis.
In addition to the gold bearing quartz veins, skarn alteration on the contact between granites and
marbles in the area was observed. No mineralization was observed within the skarn alteration,
but the presence of carbonate rocks and mineralized intrusive rocks suggests that there is the
possibility of skarn mineralization in the area.
SAMPLE METHODOLOGY
Grab samples are collected as niche samples of rock material of specific style or character of
interest. A target sample weight of 3-5kg is collected for assay. Sample preparation is carried out
at a commercial off-site laboratory (ALS Phnom Penh). Gold assays are conducted at ALS
Vientiane, Laos utilising a 50 gram subsample of 85% passing 75μm pulped sample using Fire

Assay with AAS finish on an Aqua Regia digest of the lead collection button. Multi-element assay
is completed at ALS, Brisbane, Australia utilising a 4 acid digest of a 1g subsample of 85%
passing 75μm pulped sample and determination by ICP-AES or ICP-MS for lowest available
detection for the respective element. Samples are dried for a minimum of 12 hours at 105˚C.
All types of samples are prepared for assay at the NATA accredited ALS Cambodia sample
preparation facility in Phnom Penh. Field duplicates of soil samples are also collected routinely
(approx. 1 every 20 samples). This sample technique is industry norm, and is deemed appropriate
for the material.
Industry-standard QA/QC protocols are routinely followed for all sample batches sent for assay,
which includes the insertion of commercially available pulp CRMs and pulp blanks into all batches
- usually 1 of each for every 20 field samples. Additional blanks used are home-made from barren
quarry rock. QA/QC data are routinely checked before any associated assay results are reviewed
for interpretation, and any issues or anomalies are investigated before results are released to the
market. No issues were raised with the results reported here.
All assay data, including internal and external QA/QC data and control charts of standard,
replicate and duplicate assay results, are communicated electronically.
