     in Notes  2 through 4, such  adjustments consist of items  of a normal
     recurring nature.  Results of  operations for interim periods are  not
     necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

2.   In May 1994,  the Company sold its interest in the Dee mine to Rayrock
     Mines,   Inc.  (Rayrock)   for  $16.5   million.     Rayrock   assumed
     responsibility  for and  indemnified  Homestake  against  all  related
     environmental and reclamation matters.  This sale resulted in a second
     quarter pretax gain of $15.7 million.

3.   In  June  1994,  Prime  Resources   Group  Inc.  (Prime)  completed  a
     transaction  whereby  Prime  issued  five  million  common  shares  at
     approximately  $6.70  per  share  to  the  public.    Net proceeds  of
     approximately $31.9  million will  be used  to fund  a portion of  the
     construction and development costs for the Eskay Creek project.   This
     transaction resulted in a reduction of the Company's interest in Prime
     from 54.2% to 50.6%.  The Company recorded a gain of $11.2  million on
     the  transaction in recognition  of the net  increase in value  of the
     Company's  investment  in  Prime.    Deferred  income taxes  were  not
     provided  on  this  gain  since  the  Company's  tax  basis  in  Prime
     substantially exceeds its book carrying value.

4.   Other  expense for  the  three  and six  months  ended  June 30,  1994
     includes a  $5 million  accrual for  additional estimated  reclamation
     costs for non-operating properties.

     Other  expense for  the  three  and six  months  ended June  30,  1993
     includes restructuring  expenses of approximately $1.9 million related
     to the  reorganization of Homestake  Gold of Australia,  including the
     relocation of its principal office.

5.   Under the Company's  foreign currency protection program,  the Company
     has  entered into a series of  foreign currency option contracts which
     establish trading ranges within which the United States dollar will be
     exchanged  for  foreign  currencies  by setting  minimum  and  maximum
     exchange rates.  Option contracts outstanding as of June 30, 1994 were
     as follows:

6.   The Comprehensive  Environmental Response, Compensation  and Liability
     Act  (CERCLA)  imposes  heavy  liabilities  on persons  who  discharge
     hazardous  substances.   The  Environmental  Protection  Agency  (EPA)
     publishes  a National  Priorities List  (NPL) of  known or  threatened
     releases of such substances.  

     An 18-mile  stretch of Whitewood  Creek in  the Black  Hills of  South
     Dakota is a site  on the NPL.  EPA asserts that discharges of tailings
     by mining companies, including  the Company, for  more than 100  years
     have  contaminated soil  and water.   In  1990, the  Company signed  a
     consent decree  with  the EPA  that requires  the  Company to  perform
     remedial  work on  the  site and  long-term monitoring.    The on-site
     remedial  work has  been completed.   The  Company estimates  that EPA
     oversight and monitoring  costs through 1995 will be  approximately $2
     million.

     The tailings facility at the Company's discontinued  uranium mill near
     Grants, New Mexico, is also a site  on the NPL.  The EPA asserted that
     leakage  from the  tailings has  contaminated  a shallow  aquifer that
     serves  nearby residential subdivisions.   The Company  paid the costs
     for installing  a municipal water  supply and continues to  operate an
     injection and  collection system  that has significantly  improved the
     quality of the  aquifer to levels  that comply with state  groundwater
     standards.  The Company has  decommissioned and disposed of the  mills
     and has closed the tailings impoundments.

     Title  X  of  the Energy  Policy  Act  of  1992 (the  Act)  authorized
     appropriations of $310 million to cover the Federal Government's share
     of certain costs  of reclamation, decommissioning and  remedial action
     for  byproduct material  (primarily  tailings)  generated  by  certain
     licensees as an  incident of uranium sales to  the Federal Government.
     Reimbursement is subject to compliance with regulations  issued by the
     Department of Energy (DOE).  The DOE has acknowledged that the Company
     is an  eligible participant pursuant to  the Act and that  the Company
     may submit requests  for reimbursement  under the Act  for 51% of  the
     past and future costs of reclaiming the Grants site in accordance with
     the  approved  reclamation  plan  and  Nuclear  Regulatory  Commission
     license  requirements.    The  Company estimates  the  total  costs to
     reclaim the Grants facility, including  costs incurred to date by  the
     Company will be  $59.2 million.   The DOE's share  of these  estimated
     costs  will  amount  to  approximately $30.2  million.    Congress has
     appropriated  $41  million  for   disbursement  in  1994  to  eligible
     licensees and  has requested  $42 million for  disbursement in  fiscal
     1995.  The Company has submitted an initial claim of $14.1 million for
     the DOE's  share of  past costs  incurred through  December 31,  1993.
     This amount has been recorded as a receivable ($5.8 million classified
     as  current  and  $8.3  million as  non-current)  in  the accompanying
     balance  sheet at  June 30, 1994   with a  corresponding $14.1 million
     increase in long-term accrued reclamation.

     In 1983, the state of New Mexico made a claim against the  Company for
     unspecified  natural  resource  damages  resulting  from   the  Grants
     tailings.  The state  of South Dakota made a similar  claim in 1983 as
     to the Whitewood Creek tailings.  The Company denies all liability for
     damages at  the two CERCLA sites.  The two states have taken no action
     to enforce the 1983 claims.

     The Company  believes that  the ultimate resolution  of these  matters
     will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unless specifically stated otherwise, all comments, production statistics,
etc. relate  to amounts included  in the consolidated  financial statements
including  the Company's  interests in  mining  partnerships accounted  for
using the equity method, without reduction for minority interest.)

Net income  in the  second quarter  of 1994 increased  to $33.0  million or
$0.24 per share from $11.3 million or $0.08 per share in the second quarter
of 1993 and year-to-date net income increased to $57.2 million or $0.42 per
share from $16.9 million or $0.12 per share for the first half of 1993.  In
addition to the  positive impact of  higher gold  prices, the 1994  results
include pretax  gains of $15.7 million  ($12.6 million after tax)  from the
sale of  the Company's interest  in the Dee  mine and $11.2  million ($11.2
million after tax) on dilution of the Company's interest in Prime Resources
Group  Inc. (Prime)  following Prime's  sale  of additional  shares to  the
public.  

Revenue of $168.0  million from product sales during  the second quarter of
1994 compares  to revenue of $184.3 million  during the prior year's second
quarter reflecting a 15% decline in ounces of gold sold partially offset by
a $22 per ounce increase in the average price of gold realized.  During the
1994 second quarter  440,400 ounces of gold  were sold compared to  518,200
ounces in  the 1993 second quarter.  The lower  sales volume is due in part
to the absence  of production from  the Dee mine  in Nevada which  was sold
effective  March 31,  1994, the  1993  sales of  the Mineral  Hill mine  in
Montana and the Golden Bear mine in British Columbia, and the  cessation of
mining at the Santa Fe mine in Nevada.  After adjusting for the  foregoing,
production from  the Company's operations decreased by 8% during the second
quarter of 1994 compared to the second quarter of 1993. 

Lower overall  domestic production in  the second  quarter of  1994 is  the
result of production declines at the Homestake mine in South Dakota and the
McLaughlin  mine  in  California,  partially   offset  by  an  increase  in
production  at the  Round  Mountain  mine in  Nevada.    Production at  the
Homestake mine  decreased by 20%  to 97,400  ounces during the  1994 second
quarter due primarily to development work in the mine's open pit (Open Cut)
and the caving  in of an exhaust raise in  the underground operations which
limited access  to higher grade mining areas.   The development work at the
Open Cut was completed in  May and construction of  a new exhaust raise  is
underway.  Production volumes at the mine are expected to return  to normal
levels  by the end  of the third  quarter.   Homestake mine cash  costs per
ounce were $294 during the  second quarter of 1994 compared to  $253 in the
second quarter of 1993.  Production at the McLaughlin mine decreased by 13%
to 66,100  ounces due  to an expected  decline in  ore grades  and recovery
rates.  This resulted in an increase  in McLaughlin mine cash costs to $235
per  ounce during  the second quarter  of 1994  from $193 per  ounce in the
second  quarter  of  1993.   Gold  production  at the  Round  Mountain mine
increased by 7% to  25,300 ounces during the second quarter  of 1994.  This
increase  was due  to  a process  improvement  strategy  of optimizing  the
distribution of ore between  the reusable and the dedicated  leach pads and
extending the  reusable pad leach cycles.   As a result,  recoveries on the
reusable pad improved from 67% in the second quarter of 1993 to 84% in 1994
and cash costs per ounce decreased to $206 from $225.    

Excluding the effect  of the sale of the Golden  Bear mine, overall foreign
production  declined  only  slightly  during  the  second quarter  of  1994
compared to  the second  quarter of  1993.   Combined production  of 89,500
ounces  from the Hemlo operations in Canada  during the 1994 second quarter
is 2%  higher than  the 1993  second quarter  production  of 87,400  ounces
reflecting the  effect of higher grades at the  David Bell mine and Quarter
Claim  partially offset by the  effect of expected  slightly lower grade at
the Williams mine and fewer tons milled at the David Bell mine.  Production
at  the Nickel  Plate mine  increased by  29% to  22,500 ounces  during the
second quarter  of 1994 from  17,500 ounces during the  1993 second quarter
and cash costs decreased from $312  to $289 per ounce.  The  improvement in
operating performance at the Nickel Plate mine is due to higher  ore grades
resulting from the pit expansion waste stripping program which commenced in
1993.

Homestake Gold of Australia's (HGAL)  share of production at the Kalgoorlie
operations in  Australia decreased by 3% to 86,500 ounces during the second
quarter of  1994  from 88,900  ounces  in the  1993  second quarter.    The
decrease in production  primarily is due to the payment  of 2,900 ounces to
HGAL's   joint  venture   partner   under   the  disproportionate   sharing
arrangement.  Cash costs at the Kalgoorlie operations increased to $256 per
ounce in  the 1994 second quarter  compared to $239 in  1993 second quarter
primarily as a  result of the strengthening Australian  dollar.  Production
at the El Hueso mine in Chile  declined to 13,600 ounces during the  second
quarter of 1994 from 19,700 ounces in the second quarter of 1993 reflecting
fewer tons placed under leach at lower grades.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- - -----------------------------------------------

The Company's overall cash cost per ounce during the second quarter of 1994
was $245 compared to $230 in the second quarter of 1993.

Year-to-date revenue of $334.0  million from product sales during  1994 was
lower than  revenue of $347.6 million  during the first six  months of 1993
reflecting a higher  average realized gold price offset by lower gold sales
volumes.  Year  to date the Company  realized an average price of  $383 per
ounce compared to $346 during the first half of 1993.  The lower gold sales
volumes are due to the absence  of production from mines sold, cessation of
mining activities  at the  Santa  Fe mine,  the lower  1994 second  quarter
production discussed  above, and a  13,200 ounce increase  in finished gold
inventory during  1994 compared  to a 39,900  ounce reduction  in inventory
during the first half  of 1993.  The Company's overall cash  cost per ounce
during the first half of 1994 was  $240 compared to $228 in the first  half
of 1993.

Year-to-date revenue from the Main Pass 299 sulphur mine increased to $10.6
million from $6.9 million during the first half of 1993.   Operating losses
at the  sulphur mine were  $1.1 million during  the second quarter  of 1994
compared to losses  of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 1993 and year-
to-date  operating losses  were  $2.2 million  compared to  losses  of $4.5
million in  the first half  of 1993.   The  improved operating  performance
reflects  continuing  cost control  measures  and  an increase  in  sulphur
production, which reached 6,000  tons per day during the second  quarter of
1994. 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $21.1 million and $41.2
million  during the  second quarter  and first  half of 1994  declined from
$27.8 million and $52.8 million, respectively, in the comparable periods of
1993.    The  decrease  in depreciation  expense  reflects  the  lower 1994
production, reserve expansions at the McLaughlin and Kalgoorlie operations,
and the write-down of  the oil and gas assets at the Main  Pass 299 mine at
December 31, 1993.

Administrative and  general expenses declined  to $18.8 million  during the
first half of  1994 compared to $20.8 million in  1993 reflecting continued
cost restraints and the impact of the 1992 and 1993 restructuring programs.
Exploration expense  of $8.0 million in the first  half of 1994 compares to
$8.1 million in  the first half of 1993 reflecting  an increase in spending
during 1994  at the  Ruby Hill  advanced exploration  project near  Eureka,
Nevada  offset by  the cessation  of the North  Homestake Project  in South
Dakota during the first quarter of 1994.

Other expenses  of $5.8  million in  the first  half of  1994 include  $5.0
million of  additional reclamation accruals  at non-operating  properties. 
Other expenses  of $5.4  million in  the first  half of  1993 include  $2.9
million of  pre-feasibility costs  related to the  Eskay Creek  project and
$1.9 million related to the reorganization of HGAL.

On May 5, 1994,  the Company completed the sale of its  interest in the Dee
mine   to  Rayrock  Mines,  Inc.  for   $16.5  million.    Rayrock  assumed
responsibility   for   and  indemnified   Homestake  against   all  related
environmental and reclamation matters. 

During the  second quarter  of 1994  Prime exchanged  five million  special
warrants, which  were  issued on  March 9,  1994, for  five million  common
shares of Prime.   Net proceeds  of $31.9 million from  this issue will  be
used to fund a  portion of the Eskay Creek project development costs.  As a
result of the issuance of shares, Homestake's interest in Prime was reduced
to 50.6%.  

Approximately one-half of Homestake's gold  sales are generated outside the
United States,  principally in Canada  and Australia.   The value of  these
countries' currencies can fluctuate significantly  compared with  the  U.S.
dollar.   In 1993, the Company implemented  a program to establish exchange
rate ranges within which a portion of U.S. dollar receipts from the sale of
gold may  be  converted into  the  currencies of  these countries.    Under
existing SEC pronouncements,  contracts entered into under  this program do
not qualify for hedge accounting and must be marked to market.  At June 30,
1994  the  Company  had a  net  unrealized  gain of  $2.4  million  on open
contracts.

Other income in the  first half of 1994  includes the gains on the  sale of
the Dee mine and dilution of the Company's interest in Prime,  net gains of
$2.6 million related to contracts  entered into under the foreign  currency
protection  program, $1.8 million of insurance  proceeds and a $1.3 million
gain on  the sale of  HGAL's Fortnum  property.  Other  income in the  1993
first half includes a net loss  of $0.4 million associated with the foreign
currency  protection program  and a  $4.0  million gain  on the  sale  of a
mineral property in Canada.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- - -----------------------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------

Cash provided by operations totaled $59.1 million in the first half of 1994
compared to $81.0 million  in the 1993 first half.  Working capital at June
30,  1994 amounted to $241.9 million, including  $199.7 million in cash and
short-term investments.  

Capital additions  of $33.4 million during the first  half of 1994  include
$13.0 million at the Homestake mine primarily for Open Cut development  and
$12.5  million  at the  Eskay  Creek project.    Approximately $45  million
(HGAL's     share)  of  capital   expenditures  for  mill   expansions  and
modifications are  currently planned  at the  Kalgoorlie operations  during
1994 and 1995.   The modifications are required to  replace the capacity of
the Oroya  mill which will be dismantled in  1995 to allow for an expansion
of the Super Pit.

In February 1994, the Company repaid its $8.3 million of Australian finance
lease debt.  At  June 30, 1994, the  Company has no required  debt payments
until the  year 2000.  Additionally,  Homestake has a $150  million line of
credit which provides for borrowings to be drawn in U.S. dollars,  Canadian
dollars,  gold loans  or a  combination  of these.   No  amounts have  been
borrowed under this facility. 

During  the  second quarter  of 1994  the  Company increased  its quarterly
dividend from $0.025 to $0.05 per share.  For the six months ended June 30,
1994 the Company  paid common stock dividends of $10.3  million compared to
$6.8 million in the comparable period of 1993.  

The Company believes  that the combination of  cash, investments, available
lines  of credit and  future cash flows  from operations is  expected to be
more than sufficient to meet normal operating requirements.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
- - ---------------------------

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
- - --------------------------

On October 13, 1993,  Goldstake Explorations (S.D.) Inc. filed an action in
the Federal District Court of Colorado against Homestake  Mining Company of
California  (Homestake)   and  its  wholly   owned  subsidiary,   Whitewood
Development Corporation (Whitewood).  Goldstake Explorations (S.D.) Inc. v.
Homestake  Mining  Company  of  California  et  al., No.  93-M-2149.    The
complaint  alleged  that  Homestake  and   Whitewood  fraudulently  induced
Goldstake to enter into a joint venture agreement in 1988 between Goldstake
and  Whitewood with respect  to the  mining of  mine tailings  in Whitewood
Creek, near the Company's mine in South Dakota.  The complaint alleged that
Homestake and Whitewood misrepresented their intent to mine the tailings in
order to  prevent Goldstake from mining  the tailings.  The  complaint also
alleged that Whitewood breached the joint venture agreement and duties owed
to Goldstake  under the joint  venture agreement in various  respects, that
Homestake  induced those breaches, and that Homestake and Whitewood engaged
in acts  of misrepresentation  during the  conduct of  the joint  venture's
activities.    Goldstake  claimed  unspecified  compensatory  and  punitive
damages.  The litigation has been  stayed and the issues will be arbitrated
in  South Dakota  in November  1994.   During  the second  quarter  of 1994
Goldstake amended its claim to allege actual damages of $137.5 million.  In
the opinion of the  Company, the claim is without merit  and the Company is
vigorously defending.
