Australian Critical Minerals Appoints Drilling Contractor for Flint Project. ASX-listed Australian Critical Minerals has appointed a drill contractor for its Flint gold-silver project in Peru, signalling imminent exploration operations. The company has secured all necessary permits and funding for a maiden diamond drilling program, with four priority holes totalling approximately 1,850 metres planned for the northern sector. Recent NSAMT geophysics modelling identified a 4 kilometre strike featuring a large high-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver anomaly. Geochemical analysis reveals a pathfinder element halo including arsenic and tellurium, characteristics consistent with high-sulphidation epithermal deposits. The project is located in a prolific epithermal belt in Peru with historical gold production exceeding 50 million ounces.
