Angkor Resources Andong Bor Drill Core Analysis FAQ
TL;DR
Angkor Resources' new drilling reveals higher copper mineralization near sedimentary-intrusive contacts, offering potential competitive advantage in identifying richer mineral deposits for future extraction.
Angkor Resources analyzed drill core from Andong Bor, identifying that copper mineralization increases dramatically where intrusive rock meets sedimentary rock along steep 70-80 degree contacts.
Angkor Resources' detailed geological analysis advances mineral exploration methods, potentially supporting sustainable resource development and economic growth in Cambodia through improved extraction techniques.
Angkor Resources discovered that copper values spike dramatically where magma met sedimentary rock, revealing how ancient geological fractures guided mineral formation in Cambodia's Andong Bor.

Angkor Resources has announced further analysis, assays, and conclusions from drill core samples at their Andong Bor license in Oddar Meanchey, Cambodia, including findings from the 2025 drilled holes 009 and 010.
The Andong Bor project is located in Oddar Meanchey, Cambodia, and is part of Angkor Resources' mineral exploration licenses in the country.
The analysis revealed mineralization with abundant pyrite and chalcopyrite in sections from 245 metres to 316 metres, and that the best copper mineralization is hosted by sedimentary rocks rather than intrusive rocks.
Understanding that contacts between sedimentary and intrusive rocks are very steep (70-80 degrees) and that mineralization follows pre-existing fractures in the sedimentary rock will impact drill program design for more effective mineralized intercepts.
Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration for Angkor, along with associate geologists, is leading the analysis and is the Qualified Person who has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure.
Plans for continuation of drilling extend into 2026, with assays being forwarded to ALS laboratory when all core cutting is completed.
Previous analysis in late 2022 was based only on core drilled by a different company, while the current analysis includes newly drilled holes from 2025 and provides better understanding of structural relationships that were not revealed in previous drilling.
The findings about mineralization being hosted in sedimentary rocks and following pre-existing fractures will allow for better drill program design, expected to result in both shallower and increased mineralized intercepts.
The drill core showed abundant pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization, with copper porphyry-style mineralization including 'B' and 'D' style veins and disseminations in intrusive rocks, and dramatically increased assay values where intrusive rock meets sedimentary rock.
Dennis Ouellette, B.Sc., P.Geo., the Company's VP Exploration and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the technical disclosure and can be contacted through Angkor Resources Corp.
