Angkor Reports 55.4 g/t Gold from Wild Boar Sampling
27 Mai 2020 - 2:45PM
Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK and OTC: ANKOF) (“Angkor”
or “the Company”) CEO Stephen Burega is pleased to report
on the recently completed mapping and sampling program on its 100%
owned Andong Meas property.
Highlights
- Multiple grab samples with gold from 3.08 to 55.4 g/t grams of
gold per tonne;
- Significant gold target has been identified from samples
collected over a north to south distance of more than 600 metres;
and
- Evidence of multiple mineralized epithermal quartz veins and
skarn type alteration across the license including the Wild Boar
and Wild Monkey prospects.
“This program was designed to re-sample the higher grade
showings around the Wild Boar prospect and to map and resample the
quartz vein material found in the Canada Wall copper porphyry
target,” stated Stephen Burega. “The northern most quartz vein
float samples were collected over a north to south distance of more
than 600 metres representing a new and significant gold target for
the Company.”

The mineralization from the area is polymetallic veins with Au,
Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn with anomalous values of As, Bi, Mo, Sb, and Te.
“The float grab samples collected to date suggest that the
occurrence is of the intrusive hosted mesothermal gold vein type of
deposit”, state Dennis Ouellette, ANK’s VP of Exploration. “Mesco
Gold’s Phum Syarung gold mine which is currently in development is
an example of this type of deposit. The Mesco mine is located
approximately 18 kilometres south of the Wild Boar prospect.”
“Interestingly while there is evidence of artisanal mining at
the southern portion of the traverse, in contrast, in the northern
area where the highest grade samples were collected, there was no
evidence of artisanal mining,” he continued. “Plans are currently
in the works for additional follow-up on the highly prospective
targets.”
Ongoing exploration of the Andong Meas tenement
included mapping and sampling around previously located high-grade
float samples in the Wild Boar prospect area. Additional sampling
was conducted in the area of historical gold veins north and west
of the Canada Wall copper molybdenum porphyry target. Removal of
the local forest by agriculturalists has made locating these
historical workings much easier.
PREVIOUS EXPLORATION
The Andong Meas License hosts the Company’s
Canada Wall copper molybdenum gold porphyry system and the adjacent
South Creek copper porphyry system prospect as well as several gold
targets, including the Wild Boar which has seen extensive artisanal
mining in the past and Wild Monkey that showed multiple surface
samples with gold grade up to 3.93 gpt. Exploration programs were
designed to re-sample the higher grade showings around Wild Boar
and map and sample the quartz vein material found in Wild Monkey.
Rock chip and grab samples are selected samples and are not
necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the
property.
In addition to the gold bearing quartz veins,
skarn alteration on the contact between granites and marbles in the
area was observed. No mineralization was observed within the skarn
alteration, but the presence of carbonate rocks and mineralized
intrusive rocks suggests that there is the possibility of skarn
mineralization in the area.
SAMPLE METHODOLOGY
Angkor maintains a rigorous sample quality
control and assurance protocol, with the customary insertion of
blanks and standards, cross-checking and duplicate analysis,
retention of all saw-split cores and sample pulps at their gated
and fenced secure facility in Banlung. Analysis for publication are
all done by accredited third party laboratories, usually ALS-Chemex
in Vientiane or Perth, by SFA and AAS finish for gold, or ICP-MS
for base metals In-house geochemical analysis of soil and termite
mound samples are done at the company’s Banlung laboratory by XRF
for base metals and by panning for qualitative gold detection.
Angkor’s QA/QC protocol requires calibration
standards and blanks be inserted at a rate of 10 per 100. In
addition, periodic checks are run on a selected spectrum of samples
at ALS-Chemex laboratories. All soil and rock samples are submitted
to ALS Mineral-Australian Laboratory Services (Cambodia) Co. Ltd
for preparation in Phnom Penh, and gold analyses are done by ALS by
standard fire assay in their Vientiane laboratories. All other
analyses are by Aqua Regia digestion with ICP-AES/ICP-MS (51
element ME-MS41 package) in their Australian laboratories. Initial
assays use their Au-ICP22 method of standard fire assay with an
ICP-Atomic emission spectrometry finish on a 50gm aliquot, which
has a detection range of 0.001 to 10 g/t. Check assays use the
Au-AA26 method of standard fire assay with an ICP-Atomic absorption
spectrometry finish again on a 50gm aliquot, which has a detection
limit of 0.01 to 100 g/t.
