SCHEDULE 1
ANGKOR GOLD CORP. SIGNS JOINT-VENTURE AGREEMENT WITH MESCO GOLD LTD. ON OYADAO
NORTH LICENSE
GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA (January 12, 2016): ANGKOR GOLD CORP. (TSXV: ANK) (“ANGKOR”) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive joint-venture agreement (“JV agreement”)
with Mesco Gold (Cambodia) Ltd. (“MESCO”) on its Oyadao North Concession, Ratanakiri Province,
Cambodia.
The new agreement is the second between ANGKOR and MESCO. It expands mineral rights for MESCO
revises an already existing net smelter royalty (NSR) that ANGKOR holds on MESCO’s Phum Syarung
Gold Mine; and allows ANGKOR to focus on its core prospects.
The JV Agreement adds to MESCO’s current land holdings in the region which includes the soon-to-beoperating Phum Syarung Gold Mine that is scheduled to begin mining in 2016.
“MESCO is very close to receiving final approval for their operations at Phum Syarung Gold Mine, and
this deal enhances their ability to continue to explore and expand their operations well into the future,
which bodes well for all parties involved,” commented Mike Weeks, CEO of ANGKOR.
MESCO is incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia and is affiliated with Mesco Steel
Ltd., a leading vertically-integrated iron and steel producer based in India that has successfully
diversified its operations into other raw materials and commodities, including mining.
Highlights:
The JV Agreement on the Oyadao North Concession provides MESCO with the rights to explore
the entire licence for minerals and, if deemed warranted, bringing a portion into commercial
production by establishing and operating a mine.
MESCO agrees to spend US$1,250,000.00 on exploration.
ANGKOR will maintain a 15% free-carried interest on the Oyadao North license without
incurring any financial obligations related to the maintenance of the licence and future
exploration/mining programs.
Under the JV agreement, ANGKOR and MESCO have renegotiated the existing net smelter
royalty (NSR) agreement on the Phum Syarung minesuch that the new NSR for gold will be at
2.0% while the price of gold is less than US$1,000.00 and will increase 0.25% for every $50.00
that the gold price exceeds $1,000.00 to a maximum of 7.5%. For all other minerals, a 7.5% NSR
will be paid.
“ANGKOR will focus on its core prospects - Halo, Okalla West, Koan Nheak, and CW - for the current
work season, and today’s announcement ensures that the Oyadao North license continues to be
explored by a world-class team,” stated John-Paul Dau, VP of Operations. He continued, “Our business
model for Cambodia continues to be based on the identification and development of mineable assets
through joint ventures agreements with a strong NSR and carried interest attached. Today’s
transaction furthers those plans towards building long-term shareholder value.”
ANGKOR’s 2016 work program has a primary focus on Okalla West, Halo and Koan Nheak.
“Our early results out of Okalla West have been very promising and we are awaiting test results and
interpretations from our recent termite-mound in-fill survey,” said Dau. “And the positive copper
mineralization in our soil and rock sampling programs in Halo, with results of over one percent copper
from intrusive rocks exposed at surface, are key contributors to our attracting international attention
from a number of global players who are especially focused on base metals. We have hosted numerous
site visits with these potential partners, with the intention of bringing the right one to the table with
the technical and financial power to prove out what our team already believes to be a very large
porphyry system.”
The QP for this release, which he wrote and approved, is Kurtis Dunstone, BSc Geology, Exploration,
Senior Project Manager for ANGKOR. Mr. Dunstone has over fifteen years of post-graduate global
exploration and mining experience across Australia, Canada, Papua New Guinea and Cambodia.

gold, nickel and uranium; and is a current member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists.
ANGKOR’s seven exploration licences in the Kingdom of Cambodia cover 1,448 km2, which the
company has been actively exploring over the past 6 years. The company has now covered all
tenements with stream sediment geochemical sampling; the company has flown low level
aeromagnetic surveys over most of the ground; drilled 21,855 metres of NQ core in 190 holes; and has
collected in excess of 110,000 termite mound, and ‘B’ and ‘C’ zone soil samples in over 20 centres of
interest over a combined area of over 140km2, in addition to numerous trenches and detailed
