Item 2.  Acquisition and Disposition of Assets.

     Effective June 25, 1996, Antares Resources Corporation (the
"Company") entered into a letter of intent with Weststar
Environmental, Inc., Starke, Florida ("WEI") and B&B Septic and
Environmental Services, Inc., Deland, Florida, ("B&B") (WEI and B&B
hereinafter jointly referred to as "Weststar"), whereby the Company
has agreed in principle to acquire all of the issued and
outstanding shares of both of said companies in exchange for
issuance by the Company of previously unissued "restricted" common
stock. The relevant terms of the proposed transaction require the
Company to (i) preliminarily, issue an aggregate of 1,150,000
shares of previously unissued common stock, representing
approximately 4.70% of the Company's issued and outstanding common
stock after the proposed closing, in exchange for all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Weststar (the number of shares to be
issued may increase or decrease, depending upon the price of the
Company's common stock as traded on NASDAQ on the date of closing);
and (ii) upon closing of the proposed transaction described herein,
to inject an aggregate of up to $800,000 into Weststar for purposes
of repayment of debt and expansion.  The maximum liabilities to be
assumed by the Company pursuant to the terms of the letter of
intent are not to exceed $1,000,000.

     The proposed share exchange is subject to satisfaction of
certain conditions, including but not limited to completion of due
diligence activities, the approval of the transaction by all of the
Weststar shareholders, execution of a definitive agreement between
the parties, execution of agreements with Weststar's suppliers and
distributors and other various matters.  Also, Weststar has the
right to terminate the proposed transaction if the Company's
trading price for its common stock is less than $3.75 at the
closing and the Company has the right to terminate if the price of
its common stock is more than $4.50 per share at closing.  The
closing is proposed to be consummated on or before August 1, 1996. 
A copy of the letter of intent between the Company and Weststar is
attached hereto as Exhibit 2.0 and incorporated herein as if set
forth.

     WEI is engaged in the business of environmental waste
transportation and disposal.  B&B is engaged in the business of

ATTN:     Michael Ricks

Gentlemen:

     This letter will confirm our discussions regarding the terms
and conditions of the proposed business transaction among Antares
Resources Corp. ("Antares"), Weststar Environmental, Inc.
("Weststar") and B&B Septic and Environmental Services, Inc.
("B&B").  We propose that the terms and conditions of the business
transaction include the following:

     1.   Antares, Weststar and B&B will engage in one of the
following tax-free business transactions which shall be determined
by the parties (the "Business Transaction"):

          a.   The statutory merger of Weststar and B&B with two
newly formed subsidiaries of Antares.

          b.   The acquisition of all of the outstanding corporate
stock of Weststar and B&B by Antares.

          c.   The acquisition of substantially all of the assets
and business and certain disclosed business liabilities of Weststar
and B&B by two newly formed subsidiaries of Antares.

     2.   The consideration to be given by Antares in the Business
Transaction will be 1,150,000 shares of newly issued common stock
of Antares.  In the event the price per share is less than $3.75 at
the closing, Weststar and B&B can terminate the Business
Transaction.  In the event the price per share is more than $4.50
at the Closing, Antares

can terminate the Business Transaction.

     3.   The minority shareholders of Weststar and B&B will be
granted piggy-back registration rights for up to 50% of the Antares
stock they receive in the Business Transaction; provided, however,
that such registration rights will not apply to the registration
statement in process.
     4.   At closing, Antares shall make a contribution to Weststar
and B&B of $300,000, to be used to bring current accounts payable
and taxes.  Within 6 months following the closing, Antares shall
make an additional contribution of up to a total of $500,000. 
Antares will assume certain liabilities that are currently in the
name of or guaranteed by Michael Ricks.

     5.   At closing, Michael Ricks will execute an employment
agreement with Antares or a subsidiary for a 5 year term at a
salary of $95,000 per year (subject to 10% annual increases).  In
addition, Antares will pre-pay Michael Ricks $50,000 at closing for
his agreement not to complete for a period of the term of his
employment plus 2 years.  At closing, Antares will cause Michael
Ricks to be appointed to the Antares Board of Directors, subject to
the approval of the Shareholders at the next annual meeting.

     6.   Weststar and B&B are being audited by their independent
certified public accounting firm.  As soon as they are completed,
Weststar and B&B will deliver to Antares their audited financial
statements for 1995 as well as their interim financial statements
for the period ended May 31, 1996.  In the event such audited
financial statements differ by more than 10% in any material
respect from the unaudited financial statements previously given to
Antares, then Antares can terminate the Business Transaction. 
Further, such interim financial statements will not materially
differ from the audited statements.

     7.   The Business Transaction is expressly contingent upon the
following:

     a)   The completion by Antares, to its satisfaction, of such
due diligence procedures as it deems appropriate, including,
without limitation, the verification through a physical inventory
of the inventories and equipment to be acquired, the completion of
an environmental audit and engineering tests of the real property
to be acquired and such financial audit and studies as Antares
deems appropriate.  Weststar and B&B will provide Antares with such
detailed information as requested by Antares in

performing its due diligence;

     b)   Such regulatory approval of this transaction, as may be
required, if applicable;

     c)   A definitive acquisition agreement containing customary
terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants and
indemnities as may be reasonably acceptable to the parties shall
have been negotiated and executed;

     d)   The approval of such agreement by the Board of Directors
and Shareholders (if required) of Antares, Weststar and B&B;

     e)   There shall have occurred no materially adverse changes
to the assets, the business, the financial condition or the
prospects of Weststar and B&B;

     (f)  The total assumed liabilities of Weststar and B&B at
closing shall not exceed $700,000 or such other amount mutually
agreed upon.

     g)   Compliance with the bulk sales laws of applicable
jurisdictions (if required);

     h)   The execution of agreements with suppliers and
distributors of Weststar and B&B in a form acceptable to Antares;

     i)   The closing of this transaction shall occur on or before
August 1, 1996;

     Prior to August 1, 1996, neither Weststar nor B&B will
solicit, initiate, or encourage the submission of any proposal or
offer relating to the acquisition of any corporate stock or assets
of either Weststar or B&B.

     It is understood that this letter is merely a statement of
intent, and any legal obligation by the parties hereto shall be
only as set forth in a duly negotiated and executed acquisition
agreement, except as provided herein.

     The parties agree to keep confidential this Letter of Intent
and the fact that discussion are taking place among the parties,
unless a public disclosure is required by law.
