The Teledyne Cobalt Project
Overview of the Teledyne Project
In 2016, Fuse entered into an option agreement to acquire up to a 100% interest, subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”), on the Teledyne Cobalt Property then in the spring of 2018, Fuse announced that it had amended and accelerated the option agreement and had earned a 100% interest in the Property with the vendors retaining the 2% NSR. The 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 705.99 ha. The Property is easily accessible by highway 567 and a well-maintained secondary road.
Based on historical drilling and data a cobalt resource was developed in the 1980’s however it is not consistent with current 43-101 standards and will require work to be completed by a QP in order to be brought up to current NI -43-101 resource standards. As such the Company is not treating the historical reserve estimate as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. 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 vein.

Latest Developments at Fuse's Teledyne and Glencore Bucke Cobalt Properties
In 2017, Fuse completed 11 diamond drill holes totaling 2,204 m at the Teledyne Cobalt Property, testing the Main Zone for a strike length of 220 m and confirming mineralization along strike and up and down dip. Results included 1.82% cobalt over 6.00 m and 5.06% Co over 1.75 m. In 2018, Phase 2 drilling involved 9 additional diamond drill holes totaling 1,713 m, testing mineralized zones and outlying targets, with results expected in Q2 2020. The Teledyne Cobalt Property covers 607.1 ha with 5 patented and 8 unpatented mining claims, while the Glencore Bucke Cobalt Property consists of 1 patented mining claim covering approximately 16.2 ha. Both properties have off-take agreements with Glencore Canada Corp, the world’s largest cobalt producer.
