Angkor Resources Reports Copper Mineralization Over 286 Metres At Thmei North Prospect, Cambodia

(TheNewswire)

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA –TheNewswire - March 11, 2026): ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP.(TSXV: ANK) (“ANGKOR” OR “THE COMPANY”)  reports results from diamond drill hole AB25-009 completed atthe Thmei North copper target on the Andong Bor mineral explorationlicense in Cambodia. The drill hole returned copper mineralizationover the entire 286.2 metres sampled, with grades increasingsignificantly 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 verticaland sampled continuously over 286.2 metres, returning an overallaverage of 1,309 parts per million (ppm) copper (0.13% Cu).

Notably, copper grades increased with depth. The bottom67.3 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 systemcontinues at depth.

The upper portion of the hole cored a medium-graineddiorite — a dense, granite-like rock — to a depth of 244.9 metres.Throughout this section, the drill core contained small quartz veinscarrying iron and copper minerals. At 244.9 metres, the hole crossedinto hornfels, which are older sedimentary rocks that have beenhardened by heat from the nearby diorite intrusion. Within thehornfels, the number of mineral-bearing veins increased significantly,and copper content rose accordingly.

Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, commented, “What isencouraging about this hole is the increase in copper grade as wemoved deeper into the hornfels. The contact between the diorite andthe hornfels is very steep, meaning the diorite intruded alongnear-vertical structures. The mineralized quartz veins follow thesesame structures, and the hornfels hosts more veins and higher coppergrades. Importantly, we also see copper mineralization within thediorite itself — both in veins and as fine grains scattered throughthe rock — which tells us there is good potential for copper in bothrock types.”

Ouellette added, “These results reinforce our viewthat the strongest mineralization is concentrated near or within thewall rock — the hornfels surrounding the diorite intrusions.However, with so little drilling completed on this target, we arestill in the early stages of understanding the full picture. Thisdeposit is a bit of a hybrid — what geologists call a porphyrycopper-related skarn — where small bodies of diorite and feldsparporphyry dikes have intruded into highly receptive siltstone andvolcaniclastic rocks. We need to drill more holes to find the areas ofmost consistent mineralization. That said, the hornfels shows potassicalteration, 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 hasbeen overprinted by later chlorite-sericite and phyllic alteration —an alteration sequence typical of copper porphyry systems, which isthe style of deposit the Company is exploring for at ThmeiNorth.

A second drill hole, AB25-010, was started on July 20,2025, but was halted due to the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict inthe northwest region. Safety of staff and personnel remains theCompany’s top priority, and activities on the Andong Bor license areon hold until conditions allow safe resumption.

ABOUT THE THMEI NORTH COPPERTARGET:

Thmei North is located on relatively flat farmland andis defined by an approximately one-square-kilometre copper soilanomaly. An earlier target, Thmei South, is located roughly threekilometres to the south and was the site of a historical diamond drillhole (ABDDH16-006) completed in 2016. That hole cored diorite for theupper 135 metres, with the remaining 127 metres described as hornfelscontaining a stockwork of veins with copper and other sulphideminerals. The lower portion of this historical hole was neversampled.

The Company will assist year-five students at theCambodian Institute of Technology in a study of ABDDH16-006, providing additional data on the copper potential of the Thmei areaand advancing the degrees of Cambodia’s future geologists.

ABOUT ANGKOR RESOURCESCORPORATION:

ANGKOR Resources Corp. is a publiccompany, listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange, and is a leading resourceoptimizer in Cambodia working towards mineral and energy solutionsacross Cambodia.   The company’s Cambodian mineral subsidiary,Angkor Gold Corp. holds two mineral exploration licenses in Cambodiawith multiple prospects in copper and gold.  Both licenses are intheir first two-year renewal term.    

Angkor’s Cambodian energy subsidiary,EnerCam Resources, was granted an onshore oil and gas license of 7300square kilometres in the southwest quadrant of Cambodia called BlockVIII.   The company then removed all parks and protected areas andadded 220 square kilometres, making the license area just over 4095square kilometres.  EnerCam is actively advancing oil and gasexploration activities onshore to meet its mission to prove Cambodiaas an oil and gas producing Nation.  The Company completed seismic in2025, and has identified multiple drill targets with multiple targetzones.   As it now works to complete an Environmental ImpactAssessment on the drilling target areas, the Company plans to followwith drilling Cambodia’s first onshore oil & gas exploratorywells.
