GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA – August 6, 2025 TheNewswire – Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces its subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Co. Ltd. (Cambodia) (‘EnerCam’) has landed seismic equipment from seismic contractor GeneSeis Company Limited Thailand (‘GeneSeis’) to commence Cambodia’s first onshore EnviroVibe oil and gas seismic for Block VIII (‘Project’).
Keith Edwards, Technical Manager of EnerCam, comments on the start of this type of seismic, ‘This program will provide comprehensive coverage over Block VIII and will guide our efforts going forward. We are excited about this search for Cambodia’s first site for onshore oil and gas production and hopefully this seismic will lead to the first onshore well being drilled in Cambodia.’
Due to border conflict issues which started in May and ceasefire agreements in late July, the equipment could not pass through land borders and therefore, five containers came into Sihanoukville port by ship and then were transported to the base camp of the seismic program.
Seismic teams are executing 350-line kilometers of two dimensional seismic over four identified sub basins on the west side of the license area plus a newly described ‘mussel basin’ on the northeast side of the license.
Mike Weeks, President of EnerCam, states, ‘We are very pleased to be starting this seismic program on Block VIII; it is a huge milestone for both the company and the country. Overcoming the hurdles is a tribute to the team and we are expecting to see this program provide significant data towards drill targets for Cambodia’s onshore oil and gas industry.’
Following a multitude of scoping missions by the lead geoscientists of EnerCam, accompanied by graduate students from Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) and logistics manager Bunchhay Yun, the team now prepares to start an environmentally friendly seismic program in the Kingdom of Cambodia. Keith Edwards, Technical Manager for EnerCam explains, ‘The EnviroVibe units use no dynamite but instead use the weight of the vehicle and a hydraulicly controlled vibrating pad to send acoustic (sound) waves into the sub-surface. This vibration is done with frequencies of 3-80Hz, 3 times for 12 seconds each time using two EnviroVibe vehicles that are synchronized. By spreading the energy over 36 seconds, we can operate in many environments with no negative impacts.’
Management is expecting noise from rainfall or traffic to have less impact on the VibroSeis data than traditional impulsive sources such as dynamite or weight drop. Specific plans were made on access points to mitigate this and recent adjustments incorporated that into the planned program.
The teams have driven over 3720 kilometers, spent several weeks between May and July confirming the best routes to take for quality data, and have taken over 2900 photos of terrain as part of the data collection prior to seismic lines.
Between 35-40 personnel are now deployed to execute the 2-D seismic over the verified roads and access points. All affected landowners, community and commune authorities have been contacted and have given permission for EnerCam to proceed. The program started yesterday and is expected to take a minimum of four weeks to cover the destination routes to acquire the necessary data.
