Australian Critical Minerals advances geophysical survey to unlock Flint Project’s gold and silver potential in Peru

Australian Critical Minerals (ASX:ACM) is conducting a geophysical survey at the Flint Project in Peru’s La Libertad Province to define gold and silver targets ahead of drilling in early 2026.

Australian Critical Minerals (ASX:ACM) is progressing a geophysical survey at its Flint Project in La Libertad Province, aiming to unlock the site’s gold and silver potential through detailed subsurface mapping.

Working in partnership with Arce Geophysics, the company is conducting a natural source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (NSAMT) survey designed to detect possible mineralisation by measuring the electrical conductivity of subsurface rocks.

According to ACM, the survey will deliver a deeper understanding of the geological framework and hydrothermal fluid pathways, helping pinpoint areas with higher potential for mineralisation.

Drilling preparations underway

Drilling permits are well advanced, allowing the company to transition quickly from geophysics to drilling once modelling is completed.
A drill program is planned for early 2026.

Executive Chairman Dean de Largie said the company is encouraged by both the scale of alteration and the geological setting at Flint, describing them as “compelling.”

“NSAMT geophysics is the ideal next step to refine our understanding of this large high-sulphidation system and to optimise drill site selection,” de Largie said.

Strategic exploration in a historic gold district

Covering 2,200 hectares, the Flint Project is located in one of Peru’s most historically gold-rich districts, the La Libertad Province, known for hosting high-sulphidation epithermal systems.

Australian Critical Minerals is a precious and critical minerals explorer focused on discoveries in Peru, aiming to establish a pipeline of projects that contribute to the global supply of strategic and energy-transition metals.
