Angkor Resources Corp. Installs Children's Playground Equipment in Cambodian Oil Concession
GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA — June 16, 2026 — Leads & Copy — ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: ANK) announced Tuesday that its Cambodian energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Co., Ltd., is installing playground equipment at eleven rural primary schools and kindergartens within the Block VIII oil and gas concession in southwest Cambodia. This community initiative stems from direct consultations with local families and communities where EnerCam is conducting its drilling program, addressing identified community needs.
Each playground is constructed from locally sourced, pressure-treated bamboo and features a raised play tower, climbing ladders and ropes, swings, balance beams, a crawl-through tunnel, and a see-saw. A Cambodian crew is designing and assembling the structures on-site, supporting local employment and providing safe recreational spaces for children from kindergarten through grade six.
The installation of the eleven playground sets commenced on June 2, 2026, with progress being made across provinces within the concession. Three schools in Koh Kong Province and additional schools in Kampong Speu Province have already received equipment, with the remaining installations slated for completion in the coming weeks.
“This playground equipment came directly out of listening to the representatives of the communities in our drilling areas about their community needs,” said Delayne Weeks, CEO of ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP. “Like many communities even in developed areas, the actual school facility is put in place but outdoor playgrounds can be virtually non-existent. Therefore, we found this was a consistent request as part of educational needs from the 11 communes across the provinces.”
School administrators have agreed to maintain the bamboo structures through weatherproofing and regular care as part of the agreement between EnerCam and the communities. Weeks added, “Building safe places for children to play is a basic expectation by our team; it matters to families, and it reflects how we want to operate everywhere we work in Cambodia. Our commitment to social and educational improvement is a core part of who we are as a company. Working alongside families, local authorities, and Indigenous communities across Cambodia is not separate from our resource exploration activities — it is fundamental to how we operate. Earning the trust of the people whose land we operate on is just as important to us as the technical work; combining these community and social elements is an integral part of advancing Block VIII.”
This playground initiative complements existing community programs sponsored by EnerCam and Angkor across the Block VIII oil territory and the company’s two mineral license areas. These programs include English language training for children, installation of water filtration systems and latrines, motor vehicle safety training, and financial fraud awareness sessions. Collectively, these educational platforms have reached thousands of youth and students, all delivered in partnership with local authorities.
