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 hectares and sits along the west boundary

of Fuse’s Teledyne Cobalt Project. The Company also owns a 100% 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 4,350,000 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 Battery 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

2

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).
