Angkor, Renaissance get Cambodian approval to proceed with Koan Nheak exploration

TSX-V-listed Angkor Gold has, together with its joint venture partner Renaissance Minerals, received approval from the Cambodian Ministry of Mines and Energy to proceed with their joint exploration plans of Koan Nheak under a definitive earn-in agreement signed in July. Renaissance is a Cambodian subsidiary of ASX-listed Emerald Resources, which is currently working through the final permitting process on their Okvau fold deposit, located about 60 km from the southern edge of Angkor’s Koan Nheak licence. With Cambodian government approval, Angkor and Renaissance will immediately start planning the next stage of intensive exploration at Koan Nheak.
