Angkor Resources Corp.

 

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire – March 6, 2026 – Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’)  announces the completion of all final payments and closing of the sale of its 40% participating interest (the ‘Assets’) in the Evesham Macklin oil and gas lands in Saskatchewan. The transaction has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

 

As previously announced (Angkor Resources SIGNS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO SELL EVESHAM OIL PRODUCTION – Angkor Resources Corp,) January 5, 2026), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, EnerCam Exploration Ltd. (the ‘Vendor’), entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated December 31, 2025 (the ‘Agreement’) with 2196231 Alberta Ltd., an arm’s length party (the ‘Purchaser’), for the disposition of the Assets at a purchase price of $4,800,000.

All payments under the Agreement have now been received and deposited into the Company’s accounts, including:

(a)  a $250,000 non-refundable deposit paid on December 19, 2025;

(b)  a payment of $375,000 paid on January 30, 2026;

(c)  the balance of the Loan of $3,800,000, applied to the purchase price on closing;

(d)  a final payment of $375,000 received on March 1, 2026; and

(e)  all profit entitlements and operating and capital commitments under the Assets after October 1, 2025 have accrued to the Purchaser.

The sale of the oil and gas assets was a strategic decision that removed a debt of $3,800,000 off the books and provided the Company with $1,000,000 in net proceeds. Shareholder approval for the disposition was obtained at the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on January 29, 2026, where over 99% of the votes cast were in favour of the transaction.

 

Delayne Weeks, CEO, commented ‘We are pleased to announce the successful closing of the Evesham disposition. This transaction eliminates $3,800,000 in debt and provides the Company with additional working capital. We can now focus our resources and efforts on advancing our Cambodian onshore Block VIII oil and gas project and our mineral exploration programs, which represent the highest potential for growth and value creation for our shareholders.  Discovering oil and gas in Cambodia as a new jurisdiction is a country changer. It brings energy independence to the entire nation, significantly reduces the imports of hydrocarbon based energy, and develops a very significant sector of new skillset development and employment opportunities.’

ABOUT Angkor Resources CORPORATION:

Angkor Resources Corp. is a public company, listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange, and is a leading resource optimizer in Cambodia working towards mineral and energy solutions across Cambodia.  

The company’s mineral subsidiary, Angkor Gold Corp. in Cambodia holds two mineral exploration licenses in Cambodia with multiple prospects in copper and gold.  Both licenses are in their first two-year renewal term.    

Its Cambodian energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources, was granted an onshore oil and gas license of 7300 square kilometres in the southwest quadrant of Cambodia called Block VIII.   The company then removed all parks and protected areas and added 220 square kilometres, making the license area just over 4095 square kilometres.  EnerCam is actively advancing oil and gas exploration activities onshore to meet its mission to prove Cambodia as an oil and gas producing Nation.  Having completed seismic in 2025, the Company has identified multiple drill targets and advances an Environmental Impact Assessment and drilling plans to drill Cambodia’s first onshore oil & gas exploratory wells.

Nuvau Minerals Inc. (TSXV: NMC,OTC:NMCPF) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Nuvau’) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche of its previously announced brokered private placement pursuant to which the Company issued (i) an aggregate of 7,928,523 common shares of the Company (each, a ‘FT Share’) that qualify as ‘flow-through shares’ within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the ‘Tax Act’), at an issue price of $0.90 per FT Share, for gross proceeds of $7,135,670.70, and (ii) an aggregate of 320,000 units of the Company (each, a ‘Unit’), at a price of $0.80 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $256,000 (together, the ‘Offering’). Together with the closing of the first tranche of the Offering on February 25, 2026, the Company has raised an aggregate of $21,368,670.70 in gross proceeds. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a ‘Common Share’) and one-half of one transferrable common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a ‘Warrant’), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $1.30 per Common Share until February 25, 2029.

The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company to incur eligible ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ (as defined in the Tax Act), which will qualify as ‘flow-through mining expenditures’ or as ‘flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures’ (‘FTCMME‘) (each as defined in the Tax Act) (the ‘Qualifying Expenditures‘). At least 30% of the Qualifying Expenditures to be renounced to each subscriber of FT Shares will qualify as FTCMME, with certain subscribers being entitled to the renunciation of a higher percentage of Qualifying Expenditures that qualify as FTCMME. All Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred by the Company on or before December 31, 2027, and will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares with an effective date on or before December 31, 2026.

The Offering was co-led by Clarus Securities Inc. and Integrity Capital Group Inc., as co-lead agents and co-lead bookrunners (together, the ‘Agents‘). In consideration for the Agents’ services, the Company paid the Agents a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (the ‘Cash Fee‘), provided that the Company paid a reduced Cash Fee of 3.0% in respect of the gross proceeds raised from sales to purchasers included on a president’s list formed by the Company in consultation with the Agents (the ‘President’s List Purchasers‘). In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the Agents such number of non-transferable compensation options of the Company (the ‘Compensation Options‘) as is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of FT Shares and/or Units sold under the Offering; provided that such number of Compensation Options was reduced to 3.0% of number of FT Shares and/or Units sold to President’s List Purchasers. Each Compensation Option entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Unit at a price of $0.80 per Unit at any time and from time to time until March 6, 2029.

In connection with the Offering, a director of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 444,444 FT Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $444,444. Each subscription by an ‘insider’ is considered to be a ‘related party transaction’ for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. Specifically, the Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves insiders, is not more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. Additionally, the Company is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves insiders, is not more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the details of the Offering and the participation of insiders therein was not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering, and the Company wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date hereof. The Offering remains subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Today’s crypto news to know

NYSE parent backs crypto exchange in US$25 billion deal

Wall Street’s push deeper into digital assets gathered pace after Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) agreed to acquire a stake in crypto exchange OKX in a deal valuing the platform at about US$25 billion.

ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, will also take a seat on OKX’s board, according to a company statement.

The agreement comes roughly a year after OKX pleaded guilty to a felony and paid about US$504 million in penalties over allegations it processed more than US$1 trillion in US customer transactions without a license.

Despite that history, executives say the new partnership signals a shift toward regulatory alignment. ICE executive Michael Blaugrund said on-chain systems will increasingly play a role in clearing, settlement, and capital formation.

Bitcoin ETF outflows persist

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded US$227.9 million in net outflows on Thursday (March 5), marking the largest single-day withdrawal in roughly three weeks.

The redemptions coincided with Bitcoin slipping back below US$70,000 after briefly climbing near $US73,000 earlier in the week.

Despite this, analysts say the broader trend may be stabilizing as institutional investors quietly reposition. Data tracked by Glassnode shows the 14-day ETF net-flow trend turning positive, while the 30-day change in ETF positions has stabilized near 23,943 after plunging into deeply negative territory earlier this year.

Pudgy Penguins faces trademark challenge from apparel brand

The crypto-native brand behind the popular Pudgy Penguins NFT collection is facing a trademark lawsuit from the company that owns the Original Penguin clothing label.

PEI Licensing, which has used penguin imagery in apparel since the 1950s, alleges the NFT brand’s logos and trademarks could confuse consumers and infringe on its long-standing intellectual property rights.

Filed in federal court in Florida, the complaint claims Pudgy Penguins’ use of similar penguin imagery and trademark applications for phrases tied to its brand violate fair-competition laws. The plaintiff says the similarities between apparel and merchandise sold by both companies could lead buyers to believe the two brands are affiliated.

PEI is seeking financial damages, the rejection of certain trademark filings, and the destruction of products bearing allegedly infringing designs.

Pudgy Penguins has expanded beyond NFTs into a broader consumer brand, launching a Solana-based token and distributing physical toys through major retailers including Walmart and Target. The toy line alone reportedly generated more than US$10 million in sales within its first year.

Listen up, flyers: United Airlines said it will start removing passengers from flights who refuse to wear headphones while listening to content on their personal devices, and such behavior could lead to a permanent ban.

The airline revised its contract of carriage on Feb. 27 to include the new provision, which sits under the ‘refusal of transport’ section that outlines the instances in which United can boot its passengers from flights.

According to the document, United reserves the right to refuse transport — on a permanent basis — to any passenger who listens to their entertainment on speaker.

It also states that any passenger who causes United ‘any loss, damage or expense of any kind,’ may be responsible for reimbursing the airline.

‘We’ve always encouraged customers to use headphones when listening to audio content — and our Wi-Fi rules already remind customers to use headphones,’ United said in a statement. ‘With the expansion of Starlink, it seemed like a good time to make that even clearer by adding it to the contract of carriage.’

Passengers who forgot their headphones at home can request a free pair on their flight, if they’re available, according to United’s in-flight entertainment information.

The move inspired a strong reaction online.

‘One would think this is common sense and airlines would have in their rules,’ said one Reddit user. ‘Now let’s have the same rule for airline lounges.’

Others complained that this has become increasingly common on flights, especially among those with small children.

‘As a flight attendant; we have to tell people literally every flight,’ another person said on Reddit. ‘It makes our jobs harder when we’re stuck policing common courtesy instead of just focusing on service & safety.’

Dozens of Democrats have voted against a nonbinding resolution in the House that reaffirms Iran as the ‘largest state sponsor of terrorism.’

The resolution, put forward by Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., passed by a 372-53 vote on Thursday, with all those voting no being Democrats. Two Democrats also voted present. 

Among those who voted against the measure were all the members of the ‘Squad,’ such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. 

The resolution said the Islamic Republic of Iran ‘remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.’

It added that Iran ‘poses a direct and persistent threat to the United States and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American citizens,’ citing the Pentagon as saying that ‘Iranian-backed proxy militias are responsible for the deaths of at least 603 U.S. service members in Iraq — roughly one in every six American combat fatalities.’ 

It also said, ‘according to the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafeal Grossi, Iran has amassed a large stockpile of enriched uranium and continues to block access to undeclared sites in Iran affiliated with their ‘big, ambitious nuclear weapons program.’’ 

The resolution concludes by saying, ‘That the House of Representatives declares it is the policy of the United States… that Iran continues to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism.’

California Democratic Rep. Lateefah Simon, who voted no, claimed the resolution ‘contains inaccuracies and is designed to justify the President’s actions in Iran.’

‘Republicans in Congress are not only surrendering their constitutional duties – they are also playing politics with a resolution reaffirming Iran as a leading state sponsor of terrorism,’ Simon wrote on Facebook. ‘That is already U.S. policy.’

‘I have been clear about my opposition to the brutal and devastating actions of the Iranian regime against those protesting for freedom,’ Simon continued. ‘This resolution does nothing to advance their freedom and instead, puts Congress on record as giving the Administration further pretext for a war that should not have been started in the first place.’

Rep. Julie Fedorchak, R-N.D., who voted in favor of the resolution, said in a statement that, ‘This week’s bipartisan classified briefing with Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, John Ratcliffe, and General Dan Caine underscored the significance of the threat we face from an Iran intent on developing nuclear weapons behind a curtain of impenetrable ballistic weapons.’ 

‘Standing with our allies and confronting state-sponsored terrorism is essential to protecting Americans and advancing stability around the world,’ she added. ‘This resolution sends a strong message that we will not ignore or excuse the regime’s extremist actions.’

Rep. Adam Smith, a Democrat from Washington state who also voted in favor of the resolution, said, ‘I agree with the principal assertion of this resolution that Iran is a bad actor. 

‘Iran’s malign and destabilizing actions in the region and treatment of its own citizens should be denounced. I have never contested this. What I do contest is that going to war is the reasonable response to this assertion,’ he continued. ‘I support this resolution. I do not support the president’s war of choice with Iran.’

An Iranian ship offloaded more than 200 members of its crew to Sri Lanka on Friday after suffering an engine failure at sea, just days after a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship in an Indian Ocean torpedo attack. 

The IRIS Bushehr, described in previous Iranian media reports as a navy logistics ship, is being brought first to the port of Colombo, according to Sri Lanka navy spokesman Cmdr. Buddhika Sampath. Sailors are being taken to a naval base in Welisara following medical exams and immigration procedures. 

‘We have to understand that this is not an ordinary situation,’ Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said Thursday. ‘It’s a request by a ship belonging to one party to enter into our port. We have to consider that according to the international treaties and conventions.’ 

Dissanayake added that authorities decided to take control of the IRIS Bushehr following discussions with Iranian officials and the ship’s captain, after one of its engines failed. He said some crew members would remain on board to help the Sri Lankan navy later navigate the vessel to Trincomalee on the island’s northeast coast, about 165 miles from Colombo.

The moves come after the U.S. sank the Iranian warship IRIS Dena off Sri Lanka’s coast on Wednesday.  

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said it was ‘the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II.’ 

The Indian navy said Thursday that it had initiated search and rescue operations after receiving a distress signal from the Dena, deploying two aircraft along with a sailing training vessel. By the time the response was launched, the Sri Lankan navy had already started its own rescue efforts, it said.

The Sri Lankan navy rescued 32 sailors and recovered 87 bodies after the attack, according to The Associated Press. 

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Thursday that the U.S. will ‘bitterly regret’ striking and sinking that ship. 

‘The U.S. has perpetrated an atrocity at sea, 2,000 miles away from Iran’s shores,’ Araqchi wrote on X. ‘Frigate Dena, a guest of India’s Navy carrying almost 130 sailors, was struck in international waters without warning.’

‘Mark my words: The U.S. will come to bitterly regret precedent it has set,’ he added. 

Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine told reporters at the Pentagon on Wednesday that the Iranian vessel was ‘effectively neutralized’ in a Navy ‘fast attack’ using a single Mark 48 torpedo.

He added that the U.S. Navy achieved ‘immediate effect, sending the warship to the bottom of the sea.’ 

Fox News’ Stephen Sorace, Landon Mion and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

President Donald Trump took Washington by surprise Thursday with his decision to remove Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, but few lawmakers on Capitol Hill questioned his decision. 

Though Republicans rarely criticized Noem during her tenure, many GOP lawmakers argued Thursday that the secretary’s ouster was the right move. Trump quickly nominated Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., a close ally, to head the sprawling agency Thursday afternoon.

‘I think the president is doing what’s necessary to make sure the department is going to be operating effectively,’ Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., who welcomed the news of Mullin’s appointment, said Thursday. ‘It was time.’

Mullin, a 48-year-old lawmaker, is a member of Senate Republicans’ leadership team and previously served several terms in the House of Representatives.

Noem’s time helming DHS was rocked by a series of controversies involving an expensive ad campaign she claimed had Trump’s approval and her widely-panned response to the fatal shootings of two Americans in Minneapolis by federal immigration officers earlier this year.

‘Obviously, it did not go well,’ Donalds added when asked about Noem’s appearance during two hearings on Capitol Hill this week.

Several GOP lawmakers, including Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and John Kennedy, R-La., tore into Noem during her appearance before the Senate’s judiciary panel on Tuesday. 

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., a moderate lawmaker retiring at the end of his term, echoed Kennedy’s criticism questioning Noem’s prominent role in the costly ad campaign and her ties to recipients awarded contracts.

‘There’s legit concerns. When there was a $200 million advertising [campaign], we should be better stewards of our money,’ Bacon said. ‘I think the president probably saw a need for change.’

DHS has fired back that the massive ad campaign resulted in millions of self-deportations.

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital Thursday that Noem’s departure would eliminate ‘distractions’ and ‘conflicts’ that erupted at DHS under her leadership.

‘The department needs to be entirely focused on its mission, given the situation in the Middle East right now,’ Lawler said, referring to Operation Epic Fury in Iran. 

Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., who is not running for reelection, wrote on social media Thursday that a ‘change in leadership at the Department of Homeland Security was long overdue.’

House Democrats, many of whom fiercely criticized Noem’s role in the Trump administration, appeared to agree.

‘She’s done enough damage that the president finally came to his senses,’ Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the lead Democrat on the House homeland security panel, said Thursday. 

‘I think it’s the right decision by the president. It’s been a long time coming,’ Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., told Fox News Digital.

Moskowitz, who tussled with Noem during her testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, argued that she would go down as the worst DHS secretary in the agency’s two-decade history. He declined, however, to sign on to articles of impeachment circulated by House Democrats.

When asked about Mullin’s appointment, Moskowitz said he wished him good luck. ‘She’s left him a disaster, but obviously I want him to succeed,’ the Florida Democrat said of Noem’s tenure. ‘We should all want that, so let’s give him that opportunity.’

Surface rock sampling and surface geological mapping has increased the size of each of these target areas and confirms the potential for high-grade copper, gold and silver mineralization in the porphyry and epithermal environments as well as confirms the presence of related Carbonate Replacement Deposit style mineralization. The Company has now confirmed the presence of each of these styles of mineralization exposed at surface at Smart Creek and is now planning follow up diamond drilling scheduled for April 2026.

Summary of High-Grade Assay Results from 2026 Exploration

  • 102 g/t Au (Sample G019007)
  • 74.7 g/t Au, 13.8% Cu, 3810 g/t Ag (Sample G019235)
  • 30.4 g/t Au (Sample G019001)
  • 26.6 g/t Au (Sample G019353)
  • 23.1% Cu, 424 g/t Ag (Sample G019225)
  • 19.65% Cu, 458 g/t Ag (Sample G019031)
  • 19.05% Cu, 582 g/t Ag (Sample G019038)

For additional details regarding the surface sampling results at Smart Creek please see news release dated January 8, 2026.

Smart Creek Copper Porphyry Target

Previous exploration drilling is concentrated at the Smart Creek target where surface alteration and mineralization is consistent with the distal porphyry environment. Domestic Metals has leveraged historical drilling data and newly collected surface geological and geochemical data to establish a robust exploration drilling target west of the historical drilling footprint (Figure 1). In addition, exotic copper mineralization south of the Smart Creek target (Smart Creek Exotic Copper) appears to be superimposed on distal copper porphyry related mineralization suggesting there is the potential for a second porphyry center westward of the historical drilling footprint (Figure 1).

Sunrise Porphyry Copper Target

Domestic Metals has identified mineralized porphyry dykes approximately 1 kilometer east of the past producing Sunrise Mine (see NR dated September 11, 2025; Figure 1). These mineralized porphyry intrusions are exposed at surface and are interpreted to represent the top of a new porphyry system at Smart Creek. The depth extent of this surface mineralization will be tested as part of the upcoming diamond drill program at Smart Creek

Radio Tower Carbonate Replacement Targets

The 2025 Surface exploration program has identified several previously unrecognized semi massive and massive sulphide CRD lenses exposed at surface internal to the Radio Tower alteration footprint (Figure 1). These high-grade copper-gold-silver lenses have been prioritize for drill delineation and will be tested after a second round of permitting is complete for the project. Additional mapping and sampling will be conducted in the Spring to further derisk these targets.
