GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA (February 24, 2026) TheNewswire – Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces the completion of a trenching and sampling program at the CZ Gold Prospect in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia.
As previously announced (see Angkor Resources ADVANCES EXPLORATION ON CZ GOLD AND WILD BOAR PROSPECTS, ANDONG MEAS LICENSE, CAMBODIA), the Company’s mineral exploration team initiated a large-scale trenching program at the CZ Gold Prospect, located on the west side of the Canada Wall prospect. The program is designed to determine the geology, structure and orientation of the quartz stockwork zone and its wall rocks, and to collect representative samples for analysis.
The trenching program consisted of twelve trenches excavated across the CZ Gold Prospect area. Each trench measured approximately five meters in length, two meters in width, and five meters in depth. Due to the steep slope and required depth of the trenches, the Company made the decision to utilize excavation equipment to safely and efficiently complete the program.

The excavation process involves digging each trench to the target depth, at which point Angkor’s field team entered the trench to collect samples directly from the exposed geology, including veining and stockwork visible in the trench walls. Once sampling was complete, the team exited the trench and all samples are marked, bagged, and prepared for testing and analysis on the surface. As soon as sampling was finished at each location, the trenches were filled in and the site was restored.

The Company collected 298 samples of veins, side walls, and cross sections from the twelve trenches. Each sample will be split into three parts for different methods of analysis: one part for panning in the creek adjacent to the prospect, one part for portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, and one part for fire assay. This multi-method approach is intended to provide a comprehensive geochemical characterization of the stockwork zone and to evaluate gold content across the target area.
The Company completed sampling this weekend and has started several weeks of analysis of the samples before interpretation of the data can be completed.
