If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form
ii-K, Form 10-Q, Form N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could
not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if
needed.)
The Registrant, Solv-Ex Corporation, has been unable to complete
preparation and filing of Part III of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995, because (i) Part III incorporates by reference the
registrant's definitive proxy statement for an Annual Meeting of
Shareholders to be held December 15, 1995; and (ii) the proxy statement
(or Part III of the Form 10-K filed by amendment) must be electronically
filed and the registrant is still in process of converting its systems
(and completing arrangements with consultants) to accommodate the
electronic filing requirements. The Registrant represents that the
minor delay in filing resulting therefrom could not have been
eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense.
