Ontario Cobalt Properties

Fuse owns a 100% interest its Glencore Bucke Property, situated in Bucke Township, 6 km east-

northeast of Cobalt, Ontario, subject to a back-in provision, production royalty and off-take agreement.

The Glencore Bucke Property consists of 16.2 hectar es and sits along the west boundary of Fuse’s

Teledyne Cobalt Project. The Company also owns a 10 0% interest, subject to a royalty, in the Teledyne

Project located near Cobalt, Ontario. The Teledyne Property adjoins the south and west boundaries of

claims that hosted the Agnico Mine.

Glencore Bucke/Teledyne Property

Situated in Bucke Township, 6 km east-northeast of Cobalt, Ontario the Glencore Bucke Property

adjoins, on its northeast corner, the former cobalt producing Agaunico Mine. From 1905 through to

1961, the Agaunico Mine produced a total of 4,350,00 0 lbs. of cobalt (“Co”), and 980,000 oz of silver

(“Ag”) (Cunningham-Dunlop, 1979). The amount of cobalt produced from the Agaunico Mine is

greater than that of any other mine in the Cobalt Mining Camp. Production ceased in 1961 due to

depressed Co prices and over-supply (Thomson, 1964). The Glencore property is 100% owned by Fuse

Cobalt subject to a back-in provision, production royalty and off-take agreement.

The associated Teledyne Property, located in Bucke and Lorrain Townships, consists of 5 patented

mining claims totaling 79.1 ha, and 46 unpatented mining claim cells totaling approximately 700 ha. The

Property is easily accessible by highway 567 and a well-maintained secondary road.

Over CAD$25 million has been spent thus far, (2 020 dollars inflation-adjusted) on the Teledyne

Property resulting in valuable infrastructure including a development ramp and a modern decline going

down 500 ft parallel to the main cobalt minerali zed vein. The Teledyne Property is subject to a

production royalty in favor of New Found Gold and an off-take agreement in favor of Glencore Canada

Corp., while the Glencore Bucke Property is subject to a back-in provision, production royalty, and an off-

take agreement in favor of Glencore Canada Corp. Glencore PLC is the world’s largest producer of cobalt.

A significant portion of the coba lt that was produced at the Ag aunico Mine was located along

structures (Vein #15) that extended southward towards the northern boundary of the Teledyne

Cobalt Property, currently 100% owned by FUSE. Mineraliza tion was generally loca ted within 125 ft

(38.1 m) above the Huronian/Archean unconformity. Stoping widths of up to 50 ft (15.2 m) were not

unusual at the Agaunico Mine (Cunningham-Dunlop, 1979).
