[{"type":"text","content":"Drilling to Resume at Angkor Gold's China Wall Prospect, CambodiaGrande Prairie, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2014) - ANGKOR GOLD CORP. (TSXV: ANK) (\"ANGKOR\") has concluded \nexploration for the season on our China Wall prospect in Andong Meas tenement, \nRatanakiri Province, Cambodia. This work involved detailed geological mapping, \ntermite mound geochemistry and an induced polarization (IP) survey. Drilling is \nplanned for the dry season on this and other prospects. \nChina Wall is one of many targets \nbeing explored aggressively by the Angkor / Tohui Beishan alliance. The geology \nand geochemistry complement the IP beautifully, indicating a copper-molybdenum \nmineralised porphyry intrusive with peripheral Au epithermal mineralization.\nDetailed creek mapping showed \nmainly propylitic altered granite and granodiorite, and local clustered pyrite \nmineralization either in small veinlets or in vuggy quartz. Geology along the \ncreeks highlighted a swarm of sulphidized andesite-diorite dykes, with an \naverage orientation of 020o; vertical dip (70 to 80o E) \nand matrix pyrite mineralization up to 10%, intruding the granite. \nThe geological mapping and ground \nIP were done under contract by Beijing Explor-Tech Engineering Co. Ltd. \n(Betec) and the China Chemical Geology and Mine Bureau Shandong \nGeological Prospecting Institute (SI) over a 25km2 area. They \nwere supported by Angkor's staff, who undertook a concurrent 16km2 \ntermite mound geochemical survey over the northern part of the IP survey, \ncollecting and processing almost 13,000 samples. Results of the IP survey are \nshown below, superposed on the aeromagnetic map with the principal anomalous \nzone coinciding with a magnetic low. Only a single vertical depth probe was \npossible before the rains set in. \n \nTo view an enhanced version of this image, please visit:\nhttp://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/1494/11578_abngkorenhancedx1x1.jpg\nThe resistivity shows a very \nclear ring structure, surrounding the chargeability high, which, in turn, is \nconcentric about a central resistive high.\nTermite mound geochemistry is \nequally compelling. There are unequivocal copper and molybdenum anomalies that \ncoincide precisely with the anomalous IP, as depicted on the maps below:\n \nTo view an enhanced version of this image, please visit:\nhttp://orders...
