Angkor Gold Corp. announced recent exploration results from the Okalla West Exploration Prospect, Cambodia. The Okalla West surface gold zone is within the ompany's 150 km2 Banlung Exploration license, Cambodia. New auger assay results in the Okalla West gold zone shows that gold mineralization is located in a 2 metre thick lateritic soil layer which is covered by soil organics from 0.1 to 0.5 metres thick. Of the 235 samples analysed from within the laterite soil layer, the higher grade returned was 2.45 g/t Au. As previously reported, a Very Low Frequency Electro-magnetic (VLF-EM) survey was conducted in December 2016 over a 1.1 km2 area within the previously discovered 4 km2 surface gold anomaly. Interpretation of the VLF-EM survey suggests two structural fault systems with the possibility of containing multiple quartz veins. Four assayed grab samples from field mapping show evidence of a quartz vein system in the surrounding area outside of the 1.1 km2 covered by the VLF-EM survey. The assays of these four grab samples returned results of 0.52 g/t Au, 0.09 g/t Au, 3.09 g/t Au and 1.83 g/t Au. Based on the field observation and assay results, much of the gold appears to be a secondary deposit formed by groundwater leaching from quartz vein systems in the underlying bed rock then re-precipitating the gold into the laterite. Some of the gold is also hosted by locally derived bedrock clasts. This will be further examined during the upcoming trenching program, which is planned to begin in the next month. This is expected to consist of linear trenches and/or pits over 5 lines totalling approximately 7,200 cubic metres. Total volume will depend upon soil conditions and sampling procedure as determined during the program. Duplicate assays using a slightly different technique, done as routine part of the QA/QC protocol, showed considerable variance of results within individual samples, which is suggestive of a strong nugget effect. This presence of erratic coarse gold (the nugget effect) was further confirmed by metallic screen analysis on 11 selected samples of 87 with exceptionally high gold panning concentration index. 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 laboratories. All soil and rock samples were submitted to ALS Mineral-Australian Laboratory Services (Cambodia) Co. Ltd. for preparation in Phnom Penh, and gold analyses were done by ALS by standard fire assay in their Vientiane laboratories. All other analyses were by ICP-ME and ICP22 in their Australian laboratories. The initial assays used 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. The check assays used 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. The metallic screen analysis, using their Au-SCR22 method of standard fire assay with an ICP-Atomic absorption spectrometry finish after screening to 75 microns used a 1kg nominal weight sample, with assay of theentire oversize fraction and duplicate assay on 50gm aliquots of the undersize fraction. This last method was done at the recommendation of the laboratory to avoid over or under-estimating gold grades because coarse gold was suspected.
