GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire - July 29, 2025 - Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) ("ANGKOR" OR "THE COMPANY") announces its subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Co. Ltd. (Cambodia) ("EnerCam") met with officials from the Ministry of Mines and Energy ("MME") and the General Department of Petroleum ("GDP") to request an additional 220 square kilometers as part of Block VIII to include a potential sub-basin for exploration of oil and gas.
Following field scoping, data analysis, and indications of hydrocarbon potential, the technical team, headed by EnerCam's Keith Edwards, provided a presentation to members and authorities of GDP and MME.  The presentation focused on the addition of a 220 square kilometer area in the northeast section of Block VIII to expand the boundaries of Block VIII.  The area indicates potential for a sub-basin that the EnerCam team refers to as the ‘Mussel Basin' named primarily based on the shape of the potential basin.
The most recent research of the geoscience team indicates that it would be prudent to expand the boundaries in the northeast corner of Block VIII and include the expansion as part of the explored territory including the basin in the 2D seismic to be undertaken over the next 40 days.

The response from the meeting was positive. Â The Company expects an answer within a few weeks, well in time to include the new area in the existing seismic program.
On the mineral activities in Cambodia, in the northwest area of the country and forty kilometers south of the Thailand / Cambodia border, drilling activities of the Andong Bor license were suspended on July 24 due to border conflicts. Â With the Malaysian Chairman of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) hosting the Prime Ministers or representative of Thailand and Cambodia, the recent announcement of a ceasefire on July 28 th comes as a relief for all citizens.
The drilling program will continue when equipment is back in place, and it is deemed to be safe to resume.
Other activities, both for minerals in the northeast area of Ratanakiri province and for the oil & gas exploration in the southwest Block VIII continued without interruption.
