                         AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D

            Victory Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("Victory"), hereby amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by Victory on
August 5, 1997 (the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the shares of common stock,
$.10 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of Chaparral Resources, Inc., a
Colorado corporation (the "Company").

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

            The disclosure set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby
supplemented with the information set forth below:

            On October 27, 1997 Victory exercised a portion of a Warrant,
granted on April 23, 1997 to purchase 4,615,385 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.65 per share exercisable no later than December 31, 1997
(the "Warrant"), by electing to purchase 2,307,692 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $.65 per share. The exercise price of $1,500,000 was paid in
cash from working capital. In addition, the exercise period of the remaining
portion of the Warrant was extended from December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.


            The disclosure set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby
amended as follows:

            (a) (b) On the date hereof, Victory owns directly an aggregate of
6,157,606 shares of Common Stock, which shares constitute approximately 14.7% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on Chaparral's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, stating that
as of August 7, 1997 there were 41,931,427 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding). In addition, Victory is the beneficial owner of currently
exercisable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,432,693 additional shares of
Common Stock. In the event of such exercise Victory would own 8,590,299 shares
of Common Stock (or approximately 19.4% assuming exercise of the remainder of
the warrants). Victory has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and to
dispose or direct the disposition of such shares.

            To the best of Victory's knowledge, except with respect to Walter A.
Carozza who is the holder of options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock,
none of the persons named in Schedule A to the Schedule 13D are beneficial
owners of shares of Common Stock.

            (c) Except for the transaction described in Item 3 above, to the
best knowledge of Victory, there were no

transactions in shares of the Common Stock effected by the persons named in
response to paragraph (a) of this Item 5 during the past sixty days.

            (d)         Not applicable.

            (e)         Not applicable.

Item 6 - Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
         to Securities of the Issuer.

            The disclosure set forth in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby
supplemented with the information set forth below:

            On October 27, 1997 the exercise period of the remaining portion of
the Warrant was extended from December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998.
