ANGKOR GOLD ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT OF ADRIAN MANN

Angkor Gold Corp.'s Dr. Adrian Mann, vice-president of exploration, has resigned, effective Aug. 31, 2015. Dr. Mann joined the company in 2009 as a consultant overseeing Angkor Gold's Cambodian properties and assumed the role of vice-president of exploration in 2011. He has been a key contributor in helping guide Angkor towards a royalty-derived revenue stream through the development of Angkor's huge land package.

The company would like to thank Dr. Mann for his exceptional contribution to its success and wish him well in the future.

"Adrian's vision and leadership was instrumental in delivering significant value to Angkor Gold's shareholders for many years. In particular, his experience and judgment was crucial in the identification and eventual sale of the Phum Syarung project, which is now in the final stages of development and soon to secure its extraction license from the Cambodian authorities," said John-Paul Dau, Angkor's vice-president of operations.

"Adrian's dedication to the country and company are pillars on which Angkor has built its suite of world-class assets which include CW and Halo. And he has put in place an exceptional exploration team to lead the business forward," said Mr. Dau.

Dr. Mann will remain available to the company on a consulting basis as required while the company continues to advance its flagship properties. A decision regarding the appointment of a new vice-president of exploration will be made at an appropriate time in the near future.

Chief executive officer Mike Weeks commented, "Adrian improved the geological skillset of every person on the team; we all learned a great deal from him, and he will remain our own pillar of wisdom, our Obie Wan, well past retirement."

Delayne Weeks, vice-president of social development added: "Adrian exemplified everything about Angkor -- how to accomplish far more with far less. I am really proud to call him my colleague and wish him a wonderful retirement. It has been a privilege and an honour to work with Adrian."
