CURRENT REPORT OF EVENTS
        
Item 2.   Acquisition of Assets.
- --------------------------------
Magnum Petroleum, Inc., (Magnum) [Commission File No. 1-12508] executed on 
July 21, 1995 a definitive agreement (the  Original Agreement ) to acquire 
all of the assets, subject to the existing liabilities, of Hunter Resources, 
Inc. (the Registrant or Hunter) . Pursuant to the Original Agreement and 
on the date it was executed, Magnum issued to the Registrant 2,750,000 shares 
of its restricted common stock as consideration for the assets acquired.  
Under the terms of the Original Agreement, approval of the transaction was 
subject to Hunter s shareholders approval.  On December 19, 1995 to be 
effective December 22, 1995, Magnum completed the acquisition under a revised 
definitive agreement executed by voting shareholders owning in excess of 50 
per cent of the outstanding shares of the Registrant.  Under the terms of the 
revised agreement, Magnum issued an additional 2,335,077 shares of restricted 
common stock and 111,825 shares of its Series C preferred stock to Hunter.  
Collectively, the common stock and preferred stock issued in the acquisition 
are referred herein as the Magnum Shares.

On July 7, 1995, Magnum entered into a letter of intent (the  Letter ) to 
exchange the Magnum Shares for all the assets of the Registrant, subject to 
the associated liabilities, and filed a Form 8-K with respect thereto, with 
the Commission.  The Letter required that the Original Agreement be approved 
by Hunter shareholders and the board of directors of each of the two 
companies.  On July 21, 1995, the Board approval was received from each board 
of directors, the Original Agreement was signed, Magnum issued the shares 
provided for under the Original Agreement to Hunter, and Hunter assigned all 
its assets, subject to the associated liabilities, to Magnum.  On December 
19, 1995 to be effective December 22, 1995, the acquisition was completed 
under a revised definitive agreement executed by voting shareholders owning 
in excess of 50 per cent of the outstanding shares of Hunter.  Under the 
terms of the revised agreement, Magnum issued an additional 2,335,077 shares 
of restricted common stock and 111,825 shares of its Series C preferred stock 
to Hunter. Hunter's assets consisted of stock in wholly owned subsidiaries 
and stock ownership interests in Limited Liability Companies (the "Hunter 
Subsidiaries").  The Hunter Subsidiaries are engaged  in four principal 
activities enumerated as follows:

     1)   the acquisition, production and sale of crude oil, condensate and 
          natural gas;
     2)   the gathering, transmission, and marketing of natural gas;
     3)   managing and operating producing oil and natural gas properties; and
     4)   providing consulting and exporting services to facilitate the 
          export of energy products from the United States to Latin America.

Magnum intends that the Hunter Subsidiaries will continue to operate in a 
manner similar to that conducted by Hunter.

In negotiating the number of Magnum Shares to be issued to Hunter for the 
acquisition of the Hunter Subsidiaries, consideration was given to the value 
of the assets of each of the Hunter Subsidiaries, the proved oil and gas 
reserves of the Hunter Subsidiaries (as applicable), and the market value of 
Magnum s common shares, prior to the commencement of negotiations through the 
date that the Letter was signed.

The Magnum Shares issued to Hunter represent approximately 44% of Magnum's 
common stock currently outstanding.  After formal shareholder approval and 
registration of the Magnum Shares, Hunter intends to liquidate and distribute 
the Magnum Shares to Hunter shareholders, which number approximately 3,300 of 
record. After completion of the acquisition, every 3.916 shares of Hunter's 
common stock will be exchanged for one of the Magnum Shares.  Gary C. Evans, 
Hunter s president and chief executive officer, will own, beneficially or of 
record, approximately 14.75% of Magnum s common stock and 17.89% of its 
Series C Preferred stock after the Magnum Shares have been distributed to the 
Hunter shareholders.

After execution of the revised agreement, Lloyd T. Rochford, the current 
President, Chief Executive and Financial Officer, and Chairman of the board 
of directors of Magnum, resigned as an officer and remained as Chairman.   
Hunter's officers appointed to the board were Matthew C. Lutz as Vice 
Chairman and Gary C. Evans.  Hunter directors James E. Upfield, Gerald Bolfing 
and Oscar Lindemann were also appointed to the board.  The Registrant 
appointed Mr. Evans as President and Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Lutz was 
appointed Exploration and Business Development Manager and William C. Jones 
was appointed Secretary.
