             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                             (Unaudited)


(1)  Description of Consolidated Financial Statements

     Mining Services International Corporation (Company) and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, MSI-Fabrication Inc., Mine Chemical
Services, Inc. (MCS), Mining Services West Virginia, Inc., Mining
Services (Namibia) (PTY) Ltd., Nevada Chemicals, Inc. (NCI), West
Coast Explosives Ltd., and Dawn Holding Company  and its 51% owned
incorporated Joint Venture, Turon-MSI Ltd., are primarily engaged in
the development, manufacture and sale of mining chemicals and related
technology.  In addition, NCI has a fifty percent interest in Cyanco
Company (Cyanco) a non-corporate joint venture, which is engaged in
the manufacture and sale of liquid sodium cyanide.  These
consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with
the requirements for Form 10-QSB and consequently may not include all
the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles or those normally made in the annual Form 10-KSB filing.
The Company's unaudited, consolidated interim financial statements
for the quarter ending March 31, 1995 include all appropriate
adjustments which in the opinion of Management are necessary in order
to make the financial statements not misleading.

(2)  Significant Equity Investment

     As of March 31, 1995, MSI's  investment in Cyanco represented
52% of total consolidated Assets and approximately 61% of Income from
operations.  The financial statements reflect the investment in
Cyanco under the equity method of accounting and include MSI's share
of Cyanco's net income in revenues.   Summarized financial
information for Cyanco is as follows:

                                   For the periods ending
                              March 31, 1995           March 31, 1994

          Sales                   $4,196,000             $3,944,000
          Gross profit               796,000                500,000
          Net Income                 811,000                543,000

Cyanco reports "gross profit" as net income from operations.  "Net
income" exceeds "gross profit" due primarily to interest income
received on cash invested in short-term investments.

Item 2         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                    Condition and Results of Operations


Results of Operations

     Net income for the first quarter of 1995 more than doubled over
that of the same period in 1994.  Earnings for the first quarter were
$442,000 or $.08 per share for 1995 compared to $187,000 or $.04 per
share for the same period in 1994.  The Company achieved a major goal
during the first quarter of 1995:  To significantly increase
operating margins.  Net income before taxes attributable to the
explosives business increased from approximately $11,000 during the
first quarter of 1994  to $217,000 for the same quarter in 1995.  The
Company's net income before taxes attributable to Cyanco also
increased from $272,000 during the first quarter of 1994 to $405,000
for the same quarter in 1995. The effective tax rate for the current
first quarter tax provision is approximately 40% including state and
federal income taxes compared to 34% for the same period in 1994.  It
is likely that the advantageous tax benefits from prior year
carryforwards will not be available to decrease the effective tax
rate for all of 1995, therefore the effective tax rate has increased.

     Revenues increased by 29% for the first quarter of  1995
compared to revenues for the first quarter of 1994.  The increase in
revenues by nearly $1.27 million was substantially the results of
increased sales of explosives in the United States and Canada.
Royalties from foreign licensees decreased slightly from $399,000 in
the first quarter of 1994 to $277,000 for the same quarter in 1995.
To accurately demonstrate the effect of  Cyanco's income on revenues
the following table is prepared:
<C>      <C>            <C>            <C>        <C>                       <C>               <C>
                                                  MSI's Cyanco Income       MSI Explosive  
Period   Cyanco Sales   Cyanco Income    Co's %   Included in MSI Revenue   Revenue           Total Revenue

1995
1st Qtr   $4,196,000     $811,000       50%       $405,000                  $5,260,000        $5,615,000

1994
1st Qtr   $3,944,000     $544,000       50%       $272,000                  $4,122,000        $4,394,000


     During the first quarter of 1995, the Company reaped the benefit
of concentrating on niche marketing and increasing profitable sales
in the U.S. and Canada.  The Company has continued its efforts to
increase operating margins by decreasing costs and increasing
efficiencies at its manufacturing plants.  Operating Income as a
percentage of sales for the first quarter of 1995 was approximately
12% compared to 7% for the same quarter in 1994, an increase of 5%.

     Even though Cyanco's sales have been affected by the loss of a
major customer during 1995, the sales have been largely replaced by
other contracts.  During 1995, Cyanco expects to expand its freight
logical market where significant new mines have demanded liquid
sodium cyanide.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     It is anticipated that the Company's capital requirements for
capital expansion as well as increased working capital will be funded
from operations.  However, it is likely that timing of the capital
expenditures may require utilizing the Company's revolving line of
credit with Zions Bank on a temporary basis.  Year to date, the
Company used its revolving line of credit with Zions Bank up to
$400,000 in order to provide added working capital to support record
sales for the first quarter.


                               Page 5
Currently, the line of credit is virtually unutilized having been
substantially paid down in April 1995.  The line of credit matured on
April 30, 1995 and is being renewed effective  May 1, 1995 with
provisions to enhance the revolving line of credit for the Company.

     Cash from operations totaled $425,000 in the first quarter of
1995 without any cash distribution from Cyanco.  Cash provided during
the same period for 1994 was $140,000 primarily achieved from
$127,000 distribution from Cyanco and from  downsizing the explosives
business to posture for more profitability which provided
approximately $467,000 in working capital which was offset largely by
reinvesting in capital equipment at mine sites and plant facilities.

     Total Assets increased during the first quarter of 1995 by
approximately $1,061,000 while total liabilities increased $600,000,
thus improving the overall stability of the Company's balance sheet
by approximately $340,000 or $.064 per share.   The current ratio,
defined as the relationship between current assets and current
liabilities decreased slightly from 1.78  at the end of the year 1994
to the quarter ending March 31, 1995 of approximately 1.61.   Total
stockholders' equity increased during the quarter from $8,429,000 or
$1.59 per share to $8,890,000 or $1.67 per share.

     For the remainder of 1995, the Company will continue its
commitments to the explosives business in the U.S. and Canada while
continuing its expansion efforts in expanding in Ghana and Uzbekistan
as well as other niche markets on a global scope.  The Company has
begun an active marketing campaign to market its EMGEL products.
Furthermore, Cyanco, having recently completed its project to
increase annual capacity to approximately 40,000,000 lbs. of liquid
sodium cyanide, and is planning to generate its own electricity from
its by-product (waste) gas at the plant site which will result in
additional cost savings and improve environmental benefits.

     In management's opinion the Company has sufficient capital
resources for current operations and planned capital expenditures.
