GRANDE PRAIRIE, AB - July 15, 2026 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: ANK) ("ANGKOR" OR "THE COMPANY") is pleased to announce that its planned oil and gas exploration drilling program on Block VIII in Cambodia has advanced to an inter-ministerial review, with a meeting held July 14, 2026 in Phnom Penh. The meeting is a key step in the review of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") for the program. Management of the Company's wholly owned Cambodian energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Co., Ltd. ("EnerCam"), met with representatives of five government Ministries and three provinces to review the drilling program in detail. At the meeting, the planned drilling activities were explained with the specific preventative and proactive measures the Company will take to protect the environment and local communities during the exploratory drilling phase of the project. THE MEETING AT A GLANCE - An inter-ministerial meeting was held July 14, 2026 at the Ministry of Environment in Phnom Penh as part of the review of EnerCam's Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") for its planned drilling program on Block VIII. - More than 26 representatives from five government Ministries - including Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Mines and Energy, Ministry of Economy and Finance, Ministry of Interior, and Ministry of Rural Development attended. - Green Assessment Co., Ltd., the Cambodian independent EIA consultant, presented its findings alongside EnerCam. - The EIA covers the four sub-basins that host the drill targets for EnerCam's planned four-well exploration program, which would be Cambodia's first privately financed onshore oil and gas wells. - Ahead of the meeting, officials from the General Department of Petroleum and the Ministry of Environment visited each planned drill site with local landowners and authorities. Mike Weeks, President of EnerCam, commented: "This meeting reflects the thorough, transparent process behind the drilling program. The EIA lays out exactly how we will source and manage water and drilling fluid, keep each site safe, and restore the land if a well is not productive - all to international standards, and all done in partnership with the Ministries and the communities where we operate." KEY TOPICS COVERED IN THE EIA AND INTER-MINISTERIAL MEETING The discussion drew on Green Assessment's 398-page EIA report. Topics addressed included: - How and where drilling fluid and water are sourced, used, stored, and cleaned throughout the process, using steel tanks and pits with impermeable liners to protect soil and groundwater
