Angkor Resources Announces a Significant Expansion of Its Wild Boar Gold Prospect Area, Cambodia
Toronto, April 14, 2021 - Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK) (OTC Pink: ANKOF) ("Angkor" or "the Company") CEO Stephen Burega is pleased to announce the expansion of the previously defined Wild Boar prospect area on the 100%-owned Andong Meas license to over 2km x 1km.
The Company's recent surface mapping and geophysical work programs have resulted in a significant increase to the overall area of the Wild Boar prospect. Mineralized quartz vein float samples have been collected over a North/South strike length of more than one kilometre. And Artisanal alluvial pits have been noted for an additional kilometre to the north beyond the previously defined limits of the prospect area.
"The rediscovery of quartz float samples first discovered in 2014 has resulted in the collection of additional surface samples and a revision of the ongoing Induced Polarization (IP) surveys to ensure these showings are covered by the program," stated Dennis Ouellette, VP of Exploration.
The new area adds approximately 700 metres on the northwest portion of the primary grid area. Three recent surface samples from the site returned values as follows:
| Number | Location | Au ppm | Description |
| V036447 | Float | 0.873 | Breccia vein, angular , pitted, comb texture |
| V036448 | Float | 2.32 | Quartz vein, massive, comb texture, limonitic |
| V036449 | Float | 0.485 | Quartz vein, massive, comb texture, hematitic |
Ouellette continued, "The gold values are very encouraging especially as they are random surface samples. An historical surface sample collected from the same general area in 2014 returned 6.02 ppm Au. This widens the exploration area by 650 metres to a total of more than one kilometre east to west."
While the IP program continues, additional surface mapping and sampling of the altered dacite is required for further analysis. The veins appear to be part of a stockwork discovered during an earlier pit excavation exercise revealing cross cutting, shallow dipping veins over a width of at least 70 metres east to west and 100 metres north to south. It is believed to be open in all directions.
Drilling operations are anticipated to commence in early May 2021 after geological and geophysical interpretations are completed.
