ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

    This statement relates to common stock of Utah Resources International, 
Inc. ("URI" or the "Company"), whose principal executive offices are located 
at 297 W. Hilton Drive, Suite #4, St. George, Utah 84770.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

    The person filing this statement is Mark Technologies Corporation, a 
California corporation ("MTC"), whose business address is One Sansome Street, 
Suite 1900, San Francisco, CA 94104.  MTC's principal businesses are real 
property and alternative energy development.  MTC is a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of METC, Inc., a California corporation, whose controlling 
shareholder and member of the Board of Directors is Mark G. Jones, who is 
also the President of MTC.  Neither MTC, nor METC, Inc., nor its officers and 
directors, during the last five years, have been convicted in a criminal 
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).  Further, 
no such party during the last five years, has been a party to a civil 
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and 
no such party as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, 
decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or 
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding 
any violation with respect to such laws. Mark G. Jones is presently a member 
of the Board of Directors of the Company.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

On April 20, 1996, MTC acquired 125,000 shares of the common stock of the 
Company from Morgan Family Charitable Trust, a Utah entity.  A promissory 
note was issued to Morgan Family Charitable Trust by MTC in the principal 
amount of $375,000 ($3.00 per share) as consideration of the transfer of the 
125,000 shares of URI common stock to MTC.  The promissory note is secured by 
certain project revenues otherwise payable to a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
METC, Inc.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

    MTC previously acquired shares of the Company from Morgan Gas & Oil Co., 
a Utah corporation.  The purposes of MTC's acquisition of shares of common 
stock of the Company are investment, enhancement of shareholder value, and to 
attempt to cause modification of the business practices of the Company within 
the guidelines of a 1993 Settlement Agreement entered into between the 
Company and certain shareholders, including:

    1.  Rescission of or modification to the terms of the purported share 
exchange transaction between the Company and the Midwest Railroad 
Construction and Maintenance Corporation;

    2.  Amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to require 
shareholder approval of any transaction in which an officer, director or 
control person has an interest similar to a director's conflicting interest 
as that term is defined in the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act;

    3.  Engagement of new counsel and amendment of the Company's Bylaws to 
prohibit counsel from serving on the Company's board of directors or as an 
officer of the Company.

    4.  Amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to modify 
certain provisions regarding indemnification of directors of the Company;

    5.  Amendment of the Company's Bylaws to require the Company to submit 
for shareholder approval persons who would act as certain significant 
officers of the Company;

                                     Page 3 of 5

    6.  Amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to provide that 
no more than one director will also serve in the capacity of an officer or as 
a paid employee of the Company;

    7.  Amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to require 
shareholder approval of any transaction which is not in the Company's 
ordinary course of business and which involves the expenditure of the 
Company's funds in excess of $50,000 or the issuance of securities valued in 
excess of $50,000;

    8.  Amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to require 
shareholder approval on an annual basis of a one-year business plan;

    9.  Engagement by the Company of outside counsel, auditors and other 
professionals to evaluate past conduct of the Company, its officers and 
directors;

    10. Requiring that all Company directors who have, within the past 36 
months, entered into or attempted to enter into transactions which would 
constitute a conflicting interest under the Utah Revised Business Corporation 
Act to resign; and

    11. Requiring that all officers who have, in the past 36 months, entered 
into transactions which would have constituted a director's conflicting 
interest under provisions of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act to 
resign.

    12. Negotiation for settlement of existing shareholder derivative 
litigation involving the Company, including the voluntary reorganization of 
the Board of Directors of the Company, the potential sale of assets of the 
Company to fund a stock repurchase program by the Company and the appointment 
of new legal counsel for the Company.

    13. Negotiation for modifications to or recission of a purported stock 
purchase arrangement with Inter-Mountain Capital Corp. and its President, Mr. 
John Fife.

    It is noted that Mr. John H. Morgan, Jr. is a shareholder of both the 
Company and Morgan Gas & Oil Co. and that certain affiliates of John H. 
Morgan, Jr. are shareholders of both the Company and Morgan Gas & Oil Co., 
including his daughter Anne Morgan who is a shareholder of the Company and 
Morgan Gas & Oil Co. and is also the Trustee of Morgan Family Charitable 
Trust.
