             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                                 March 31, 1995 

(1) General

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for fair representation of the financial
results for the interim periods shown.  Such statements should be
considered in conjunction with Registrant's 1994 Form 10-KSB.



         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Management believes that existing working capital and the
continuing royalty income from the San Luis gold mine are
sufficient to fund existing operations.  In the first quarter of
1994, a total of $473,000 was raised from Regulation S offerings to
foreign investors and the private placement of stock.  Additional
private placements and private borrowing may be evaluated to fund
increased activities in Venezuela, at the Calgary extraction
facility and/or on the Meadow Lake gold property.

    Based on current estimates, the Calgary facility will require
approximately $5 million to re-start for the production of purified
phosphoric products, planned for the fall of 1995.  Registrant
expects to debt finance those requirements through traditional
sources.  The search for financing will proceed after the
completion of feasibility and marketing studies.

         Registrant is funding the majority of cash costs of the
Venezuelan gold exploration activities.  Activities planned on the
existing concession and on those concessions expected to be
acquired in the future can be met through existing working capital. 
Registrant plans to raise the additional capital, if and when
needed, through further private placements of stock and joint
venture arrangements, if appropriate.
    
    Cash flow from operations totaled $57,000 for the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to $99,000 for the same period in 1994. 
Cash flow from investing activities included funding and collection
on notes receivable of $60,000, capital expenditures of $5,000 and
repayments on notes and long-term debt of $58,000.

Results of Operations

    Total revenues for the 1st quarter of 1995 were approximately
equal to the same period in 1994.  Whereas gold prices were
somewhat higher, total ounces produced were somewhat lower (17,100
oz. in 1995 vs. 17,800 in 1994) on production achieved by Battle
Mountain Gold Company at the San Luis gold mine from which
Registrant receives a 3 1/2% gross royalty. 

    Expenses for the 1st quarter of 1995 were somewhat less then
for the same period in 1994 due primarily to reduced activity in
Venezuela as the several land contracts for which application has
been made await approval as the Venezuelan government sorts out its
mineral policies for the area.
