[{"type":"text","content":"Angkor Resources Reports Copper Mineralization Over 286 Metres At Thmei North Prospect, Cambodia\n(TheNewswire)\n\n\nGRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA –\nTheNewswire - March 11, 2026): ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP.\n(TSXV: ANK) (“ANGKOR” OR “THE COMPANY”)  reports results from diamond drill hole AB25-009 completed at\nthe Thmei North copper target on the Andong Bor mineral exploration\nlicense in Cambodia. The drill hole returned copper mineralization\nover the entire 286.2 metres sampled, with grades increasing\nsignificantly at depth.\n\n \n\nDiamond drill hole AB25-009 was completed on July 18,\n2025, to a depth of 312.2 metres. The hole was drilled near vertical\nand sampled continuously over 286.2 metres, returning an overall\naverage of 1,309 parts per million (ppm) copper (0.13% Cu).\n\n \n\nNotably, copper grades increased with depth. The bottom\n67.3 metres of the hole averaged 2,181 ppm copper (0.22% Cu),\nincluding a 52.6-metre interval grading 2,493 ppm copper (0.25% Cu).\nThe hole ended in mineralization, suggesting the copper-bearing system\ncontinues at depth.\n\n \n\nThe upper portion of the hole cored a medium-grained\ndiorite — a dense, granite-like rock — to a depth of 244.9 metres.\nThroughout this section, the drill core contained small quartz veins\ncarrying iron and copper minerals. At 244.9 metres, the hole crossed\ninto hornfels, which are older sedimentary rocks that have been\nhardened by heat from the nearby diorite intrusion. Within the\nhornfels, the number of mineral-bearing veins increased significantly,\nand copper content rose accordingly.\n\n \n\nDennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, commented, “What is\nencouraging about this hole is the increase in copper grade as we\nmoved deeper into the hornfels. The contact between the diorite and\nthe hornfels is very steep, meaning the diorite intruded along\nnear-vertical structures. The mineralized quartz veins follow these\nsame structures, and the hornfels hosts more veins and higher copper\ngrades. Importantly, we also see copper mineralization within the\ndiorite itself — both in veins and as fine grains scattered through\nthe rock — which tells us there is good potential for copper in both\nrock types.”\n\n \n\nOuellette added, “These results reinforce ou...
