Fuse Cobalt Inc. ( the Company or Fuse ) (TSXV: FUSE), (OTC: FUSEF), (FRA: 43W3) is pleased to announce it plans to review all previous exploration results on its 100% owned Teels Marsh West Project, including other potential sites in the vicinity, and evaluate the data in order to guide a Spring 2021 program aimed at locating lithium bearing montmorillonite clay deposits. Metallurgical testing of montmorillonite clay, a non-Hectorite clay, in nearby Clayton Valley indicates low-cost processing can be achieved by leaching with low acid consumption (125 kg/t) and high lithium recovery over 85 per cent Li. These high extractions prove that the dominant lithium-bearing minerals present are not hectorite, a refractory clay mineral which requires roasting and/or high acid consumption to liberate the lithium.
