BRISTOL, TN / ACCESS Newswire / October 7, 2025 / Angkor Resources Corp. (TSX-V:ANK)(OTC:ANKOF) today announced completion of its 2-D seismic survey over Block VIII in Cambodia, the first onshore seismic program conducted in the country in more than a decade.
According to the company, preliminary results from the South Bokor Basin identified a 48-square-kilometer anticline structure, a key indicator of potential hydrocarbon traps. The milestone positions Angkor as Cambodia's first-mover in onshore oil and gas exploration, within a nation that currently imports 100 percent of its hydrocarbon energy-valued at more than $2 billion annually.
Block VIII, initially covering 7,300 km², was voluntarily reduced to about 4,277 km² in March 2025 to exclude national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. In July 2025, Cambodia's Ministry of Mines and Energy approved expansion of the Mussel Basin area into the license after multiple surface oil seeps were documented.
The Vanderbilt Report reviewed these developments and noted that the seismic completion transforms Angkor's story from frontier speculation to data-driven opportunity, providing geological evidence that could underpin Cambodia's first onshore petroleum discovery.
Why This Matters
First-Mover Advantage: Angkor holds the only onshore production sharing contract in Cambodia.
48 km² Structure Identified: Preliminary seismic interpretation delineates a significant closure within the South Bokor Basin.
ESG Alignment: Block boundaries were reduced to remove all protected lands-an initiative taken before regulatory mandate.
National Economic Impact: Domestic energy production could materially reduce Cambodia's $2 billion annual import bill.
Next Steps: Full seismic interpretation and ranked prospect inventory are expected before year-end 2025, followed by potential farm-in discussions with industry partners.
