Australian Critical Minerals Limited (ASX:ACM) has completed its Phase 1 drilling program at the Flint Project in Peru, with four diamond drill holes totaling 1,773 meters. The hyperspectral data supports ACM's geophysical and geochemical model, indicating a large-scale hydrothermal system. Drill hole FLDDH002 showed significant advanced argillic and phyllic alteration, suggesting potential porphyry style mineralisation. The drilling covered only a 900m portion of a 4km hydrothermal corridor. Assays from FLDDH002 are expected by 8 August 2026, with ANCORELOG scanning providing detailed core analysis. Despite a power outage in Lima delaying sample processing, ACM plans to refine its targets and prepare for the next phase of drilling upon receiving assay results. The Flint Project is strategically located in a prolific epithermal-porphyry belt, near the La Arena gold-silver and copper-gold system.
