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 4,350,000 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 $25 million Can has been spent thus far, (2020 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 mineralized 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 cobalt that was produced at the Agaunico Mine was
located along structures (Vein #15) that extended southward towards the northern boundary
of the Teledyne Cobalt Property, currently 100% owned by FUSE. Mineralization was generally
located 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).
