GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA (June 4, 2026) TheNewswire - Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) ("ANGKOR" OR "THE COMPANY") announces that diamond drilling has commenced on the Andong Meas ("ADM") mineral exploration license in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia. The program will test the Gossan Hills copper drill targets defined by the Company's recently completed Induced Polarization ("IP") survey (see Angkor Resources IDENTIFIES COPPER DRILL TARGETS ADJACENT TO CANADA WALL COPPER PORPHYRY PROJECT, CAMBODIA, May 7, 2026), and will be followed by a short program of follow-up holes at the Wild Boar gold prospect on the same license.
The Andong Meas license hosts multiple advanced targets along the same mineralized trend, including the Canada Wall porphyry copper target, the Gossan Hills copper-iron skarn, the CZ Gold prospect, and the Wild Boar gold prospect. The current drill campaign is designed to advance two of these targets in a single mobilization, taking advantage of the dry-season window.
DRILL PROGRAM AT A GLANCE
-
Total program: a minimum of 1,100 metres of diamond drilling at Gossan Hills/Canada Wall, with additional follow-up metres planned at Wild Boar.
-
Holes planned: 3 holes at Gossan Hills/Canada Wall and approximately two holes at Wild Boar.
-
Hole depths: approximately 200 to 500 metres per hole, with final depths to be confirmed in the field based on geology and recovery.
-
Operating schedule: 24 hours per day, with the program advancing quickly.
-
Targets: copper at Gossan Hills (testing IP chargeability anomalies along the Canada Wall trend) and gold at Wild Boar (testing the northwest-trending quartz vein system).
GOSSAN HILLS — COPPER FOLLOW-UP FROM THE IP SURVEY
The Gossan Hills holes are the direct follow-up to the 20 line-kilometre IP survey completed in May 2026. That survey returned several chargeability anomalies that line up with the Company's 2022 ground magnetic features and with copper-in-soil geochemistry. Two priority areas defined by the IP work will be tested first:
-
Northern target— where the underground electrical signature crosses into the southern edge of the Canada Wall copper target, potentially imaging the direct connection between the copper-rich end of the Gossan Hills zone and the Canada Wall porphyry system.
-
Line 6 target — where the underground electrical signature, surface magnetite, and zinc-lead in soils all line up, defining a separate zinc-lead target on the same mineralized trend.
Drill collar locations and hole angles have been finalized based on the size, depth, and shape of the underground targets imaged by the IP survey.
Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, comments: "These are the holes we have been working toward for several years on this license. The IP signature, the magnetics, and the soil geochemistry all point to the same trend, and the Gossan Hills skarn sits right where the model would predict relative to the Canada Wall porphyry. We are looking for copper grade and continuity at depth."
WILD BOAR — GOLD FOLLOW-UP HOLES
As part of the same mobilization, the Company plans to drill approximately two follow-up holes at the Wild Boar gold prospect, located approximately 3 kilometres east of the CZ Gold prospect on the same ADM license. Wild Boar was the subject of an initial drill program in 2025 and is defined by a 1.5 by 1.2 kilometre gold-in-soil and quartz-float anomaly with narrow northwest-trending, southwest-dipping quartz veins. Float and surface samples from the anomaly have previously returned values up to 25.6 grams per tonne gold (see ASSAY RETURNS 25.6 GPT GOLD IN WILD BOAR VEINS, previously reported).
The follow-up holes are intended to test the strength and orientation of the gold-bearing structures at depth.
OPERATIONS
Drilling is being conducted around the clock on a 24-hour rotation. Early mobilization progressed efficiently and the program is advancing quickly. Core will be transported to the Company's Banlung facility to be logged, photographed, and sampled with selected intervals dispatched to ALS for assay as the program progresses.

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 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 Company has a 30-year Production Sharing Contract over the 4,095 km² license, which includes four identified sub-basins, three of which are large anticline structures with four-way closure.
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. As it has completed an additional Environmental Impact Assessment on the drilling target areas, which is now submitted for approval by the Ministry of Environment, the Company plans to follow with drilling Cambodia's first privately financed onshore exploratory oil and gas wells.
