(TSXV: ANK) (\"ANGKOR\") has completed preliminary reconnaissance work on the Phum Lomh (\"PL\") prospect, Oyadao Exploration License in Ratanakiri province, northeast Cambodia.

Our low-cost survey and sampling programs earlier this season produced some promising results. We received the final assessment last week from our international geological team, based on which, we'll be following up aggressively later this year.\" Exploration follow-up on multi-element stream sediment geochemical anomalies produced an interesting lead-zinc anomaly in the southeast of a small pilot survey block in which termite mound samples (TMS) were collected along lines at 100m intervals.To view an enhanced version of this image, please visit: http://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/1494/7111_enhancedx2x1.jpgMost of the area is covered by later basalts (dark green on the map) with either deflated laterite or Permian volcano-sedimentary rocks (mustard) to the southeast. It is in this southeast corner that the Zn-Pb anomalies occur, reinforced by almost coincident high Rb:Sr ratios, which in turn coincide with strong potassium in the termite mounds. These elements are suggestive of volcanic activity and associated low sulphidation mineralization. That they occur on a fault line striking 105o further enhances the possibilities. The survey will be expanded towards the southeast and southwest.

Geological reconnaissance in this general area has been greatly improved by jungle clearance for a rubber plantation, and several quite passable tracks. To the east is a very coarse grained pink (potassic) feldspar adamellite. Just to the southwest of the survey area, this is in faulted contact with pale felsic pyroclastics, where float fragments of a quart...
