(TheNewswire)

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire – (Dec. 4, 2025): Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces Mussel Basin as a fourth target for exploratory drilling based on data processing of the seismic program.

After identifying three significant closed anticline structures in South Bokor, Central Bokor, and North Bokor on the west half of Block VIII, EnerCam’s team has received preliminary processed data on the northeast target of Mussel Basin.   The seismic data supports our expectation that Mussel Basin is a rift fault bounded basin, probably of Cenozoic age (within the last 66 million years).   As such, the basin is significantly different structurally than the South, Central and North Bokor basins, and so are the potential prospect types.

Keith Edwards, Geophysicist for EnerCam, comments on the Mussel Basin, ‘The advantage of the Mussel  Basin is two-fold:  First, the drilling targets will be shallower.   Second, the reservoir porosity may be higher owed to less compaction.  We are reviewing the data for stratigraphic traps, for example, reservoirs that pinches out against a sealing rock or porous channel sand encased in impermeable shale.’

The Company anticipates a full seismic interpretation in December with drill targets prioritized. In the meantime, reprocessing of specific areas of data for removal of ‘noise’ for better resolution continues.   Cleaner data helps verify what the seismic data tells the team regarding the unconformities they see and more clearly define targets for drilling.

The company undertook a 350-line kilometre 2D seismic program over Block VIII, completing the program at the end of September.   Processing and interpretation of the seismic data has been ongoing since then.   The initial data identified that clear, large four-way closures were evident on South Bokor and Central Bokor and all three sub-basins on the west side of Block VIII had anticline structures.

Saga Metals Corp. (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H) a North American exploration company advancing critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to announce the successful completion of the first phase of drilling in the Trapper Zone’s northern section (‘Trapper North’) including four drill holes over 1,073 m and has initiated phase 2 in the south (‘Trapper South’) including two drill holes over 445 m completed to date. Phase 1 and 2 drill holes have intercepted and confirmed extensive oxide mineralization over 1.5 km of the 3+ km strike within the Radar Project’s Trapper Zone.

Highlights

• R-0008, -0009 and -0010 on Drill Section N-11 transected the magnetic anomaly and demonstrated a likely structural repetition of the cumulate oxide layers dominated by semi-massive to massive cumulate oxides, confirming the strong magnetic response.
• R-0008: Comprising semi-massive to massive oxide mineralization, with a cumulative total of 156 m of core length.
• R-0009: Over half the length of the hole intersected semi-massive to massive oxide layering, with a cumulative total of 165 m of core length.
• R-0010: Was drilled off the same drill pad as R-0009 to test the NE limb of the fold. R-0010 contained a cumulative core intercept of 139.5 m of semi-massive to massive oxides, as well as 11.5 m of intercumulus oxide in 251 m of coring.
• R-0011 : Intersected equal portions of semi-massive to massive cumulate oxides and intercumulus oxides. Importantly, the drilling encountered a separate unit of rhythmic banded oxide mineralization.
• R-0012 & R-0013: Are the first two drill holes of the initial cross section in Trapper South and contains rhythmic oxide layering and further confirms oxide mineralization over 1.5 km of the 3+ km strike within the Trapper Zone.

Drill Hole Program Details

Phase 1 of drilling in the Trapper North Zone targets a strong magnetic anomaly delineated in the 2025 ground geophysical survey. The anomaly traces the shape of an apparent fold structure. Drilling fences are oriented to cross the fold structure at right angles, with drilling directions of mostly N038°E. A total of 1,073 m of drilling has been completed in four diamond drill holes. Phase 2 is focused on Trapper South and will concentrate on multiple fences through the magnetic anomalies. A total of 445 m has been completed in two diamond drill holes thus far.

Drilling is conducted with oriented drill core to provide definitive structural information. Dr. Boukare Tapsoba, of Cambria Geological Inc., is attending the first phase of drilling to establish robust protocols for documenting the magmatic layering, folding and mylonitic shearing.

• R-0008 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°, EOH 272 m) , was collared in the SW limb of a large fold closure in gabbronorite in Trapper North. Over half the length of the hole passed through intervals of semi-massive to massive oxide mineralization, with a cumulative total of 156 m out of 272 m of core length.
• R-0009 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°, EOH 299 m) , tested the remainder of the Trapper North fold structure. The drill hole was collared to intercept the NE limb of the fold and to complete the cross-section started with R-0008. Over half the length of the hole intersected semi-massive to massive oxide layering, with a cumulative total of 165 m out of 299 m of core length.
• R-0010 (Azimuth 0°, Dip -45°, EOH 251 m) , was drilled off the same drill pad as R-0009 to verify the most appropriate angle for drilling the NE limb of the fold. Additionally, this hole provides a control for understanding the structural position of a mylonitic shear that occupies the fold’s axial plane. R-0010 contained a cumulative core intercept of 139.5 m of semi-massive to massive oxides, as well as 11.5 m of intercumulus oxide in 251 m of coring.
• R-0011 (Azimuth 0°, Dip -45°, EOH 251 m), the fourth drill hole in Trapper North was a 100 m step out to the east from R-0009 & R-0010. The hole successfully demonstrated the continuity of the semi-massive to massive layering while also intersecting a unit of Rhythmic Magnetite layering, similar to the holes drilled in Hawkeye in Q1 of 2025. R-0011 intercepted a cumulative interval of 58.3 meters of semi-massive to massive oxide, 27.39 meters of intercumulus and 52.12 meters of rhythmic magnetite banding.

Drilling on Section N-11, in diamond drill holes R-0008, -0009, and -0010, demonstrated variations in the structural attitude that map an open anticline in the semi-massive to massive oxides. The exceptional thickness of the oxide units on Section N-11 is partly due to the structural repetition of the units. A mylonitic shear zone occupies the axial plane of the fold. Significantly, this drilling tested both the SW and NE limbs of the fold structure and was dominated by semi-massive to massive cumulate oxides, confirming the strong magnetic response. Assays are pending.

Drill Core Sample Update

Saga Metals has successfully shipped the first 420 core samples from the Fall 2025 Drill Program. A close sample spacing of 0.5 to 1.0 m was used in the Hawkeye zone Q1 drill program of 2025. After reviewing the assay results on that zone, the team has reduced the sampling interval to 2.0 m.

The first 420 samples include 202 from the complete R-0008 drill hole and 218 from the complete R-0009 drill hole. These samples were shipped at the start of this week and are expected to arrive by the end of the week, with assay results available within 3 to 4 weeks.

Figure 5: Geologists Boukare Tapsoba, Grace Mombourquette and Katie Ward in the core shack. Both the drillers and geologists have benefited from competent ‘stick’ rock, as seen in the core held up by Boukare Tapsoba.

Next Steps

Drill has successfully moved from Trapper North to Trapper South and has begun drilling a four-hole section across the linear magnetic anomalies with the zone. R-0012 and R-0013 are completed, and Gladiator Drilling has successfully moved the drill shack to the site of R-0014 with drilling already underway.

With the same concept of the first four holes in the North, drilling in the South will concentrate on multiple fences through the magnetic anomalies to allow Saga’s geological team to best understand and plan for the remainder of the mineral resource estimate drill program that will continue in Q1 of 2026.

‘Saga Metals Radar Project, Fall 2025 Drill Program is aggressively testing for the presence of, and continuity of layered magnetite mineralization that has been defined by their recent ground magnetic surveys. Their targeting of fold noses is logical, and their use of oriented core to define layering attitudes and facing directions will greatly aid their geological interpretation of these large, property-scale folded formations. Their early use of structural geological expertise is well thought out and will be of great value in the definition of this emerging layered mafic intrusive complex,’ commented Vernon Shein, former B2Gold Executive & Advisory Board Member of Saga Metals.

Drill Program Objectives:

The Phase 1 Trapper Zone drill campaign will target:

• Grade continuity across a 3 km strike length.
• Oxide layering widths and continuity to true depths of about 200 meters.
• Integration of structural insights from trenching and drilling into collar orientation and drill design.
• Initial drilling of ~2,000 meters in 8 holes, each averaging about 250 m in depth, will be completed before the December break.
• Test both the North and South sections of the Trapper zone before the seasonal break to fully determine grades, widths and structures before initiating the detailed grid and drill sections in 2026 for a mineral resource estimate.
• Drilling will be complemented by metallurgical sampling through the winter, with core from both the Hawkeye and Trapper zones undergoing detailed metallurgical testing.

The Trapper Trail (in black) will be the target of the planned 15,000 m diamond drilling program aimed at establishing Saga’s maiden mineral resource estimation.

The Radar Property spans 24,175 hectares and hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex (~160 km²), a unique position among Western explorers. Geological mapping, geophysics, and trenching have already confirmed oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, with mineralization open for expansion.

Vanadiferous titanomagnetite (‘VTM’) mineralization at Radar is comparable to global Fe–Ti–V systems such as Panzhihua (China), Bushveld (South Africa), and Tellnes (Norway), positioning the Project as a potential strategic future supplier of titanium, vanadium, and iron to North American markets.

Nine Mile Metals LTD. (CSE: NINE,OTC:VMSXF) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Nine Mile’) is pleased to announce that the 2nd drill hole in its Wedge Western Extension Drill Program (DDH-WD-25-02) has been completed and is in progress on its 3RD hole (DDH-WD-25-02B).

• DDH WD-25-02 was collared on the same drill pad as WD-25-01 and drilled at an azimuth of 310 degrees and a dip of -50 degrees to intersect the first plate approximately 50 meters west of Hole WD-25-01, increasing the mineralized zone along strike, to the west. (Figure 3). The hole completed at 203m at depth.
• DDH WD-25-02 was successful, intersecting massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS — Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au).
• Massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS — Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) were found associated with the contact breccia at 139m depth with a second zone of massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS — Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) intersected at 155 meters, having an approximate true width of 20 meters.
• The sulphide mineralogy in WD-25-02 is readily visible, especially the massive copper mineralization, as shown in Figures 1 & 2. Chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂) occurs as masses, streaks and blebs while more local Pb-Zn mineralization is well banded with sphalerite (Zn) the dominant sulphide. Local bornite (Cu₅FeS₄) and Covellite (CuS) is visibly present, the bornite displays its characteristic ‘Purple Peacock Copper Bloom’ and Covellite its ‘Blue Copper’, as seen in Figure 1.
• All drill core has been measured, logged, photographed, marked and cut for sampling at the company’s warehouse in Bathurst, New Brunswick. A quick XRF analysis was also completed for sulphide confirmation – filtering and width identification in definition for sampling core for Actlabs Analysis. A total of 55 sections have been identified for Base and Precious Metals analysis, including Antimony, for Actlabs, Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director, stated, ‘We are pleased with our technical preparation of this drill program and quality of our Lens targeting. The western extension of this deposit is robust and copper rich. Very positive to confirm the thickness of this plate intersection as we stepped approximately 50m west of DDH-WD-25-01. Our data modelling suggests a 3^rd potential Zone of mineralization which Mike Dufresne of Apex Geoscience is modeling and designing (2) potential Drill holes to test that prospective Zone from the western flank area, thus avoiding a sheer zone from the south. We look forward to moving to the Northwest area of this extension program.’

Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated, ‘Once again, we have intersected quality mineralization at the desired Target Plates at DDH-25-02, as designed and set out by our Technical Team. The visible mineralization and copper rich sulphides is just spectacular. The presence of Bornite and Covellite is a strong indicator of the quality of this deposit. This western flank area is being confirmed as a rich Copper Lens, one hole at a time. We are on track to increase the Wedge Mine’s mineralized footprint to the west and at depth. The next drill hole in our campaign is DDH-WD-25-02B, which is underway and we look forward to sharing our next summary update shortly.’
