Angkor Resources (TSX-V:ANK) has completed a trenching and sampling program at its CZ Gold prospect in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia.
The company excavated 12 trenches across the prospect area, with each trench measuring approximately five metres in length, two metres in width, and 5m in depth.
Due to steep terrain and required trench depths, Angkor used excavation equipment to safely complete the program. The company’s field team collected samples directly from exposed geology, including veining and stockwork visible in the trench walls.
A total of 298 samples were collected from veins, side walls, and cross sections. Each sample will undergo three different analysis methods, including panning in the adjacent creek, portable x-ray fluorescence analysis and fire assaying.
Angkor aims to comprehensively characterise the stockwork zone’s geochemistry and evaluate gold content across the target area. Sample analysis is expected to take several weeks before data interpretation can begin.
The CZ Gold Prospect is located on the west side of the Canada Wall prospect within Angkor’s Andong Meas license.
Through its mineral subsidiary Angkor Gold, the company holds two mineral exploration licenses in Cambodia targeting copper and gold, both in their first two-year renewal term.
