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 CAD$25 million 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).
