                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



The Savings Plan Committee
Homestake Mining Company 
San Francisco, California

We have audited  the accompanying  statements of net  assets available  for
benefits of  the Homestake  Mining Company Savings  Plan (the  Plan) as  of
December 31, 1993  and 1992, and the  related statements of  changes in net
assets available for benefits  for the years then  ended.  These  financial
statements  are  the   responsibility  of  the  Plan's   management.    Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.  

We  conducted our  audits in  accordance with  generally  accepted auditing
standards.  Those  standards require that we plan and  perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material  misstatement.  An  audit includes examining, on  a test basis,
evidence   supporting  the  amounts   and  disclosures   in  the  financial
statements.   An audit  also includes  assessing the  accounting principles
used  and significant  estimates  made  by  Plan  management,  as  well  as
evaluating  the overall financial statement presentation.   We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan
as  of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and  the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits  were made for the  purpose of forming  an opinion on  the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole.   The supplemental schedules of the
Plan are presented  for the purpose  of additional analysis  and are not  a
required  part of  the  basic financial  statements  but are  supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security  Act
of 1974.   The supplemental schedules have  been subjected to  the auditing
procedures applied in  the audit of the basic financial  statements and, in
our opinion, are fairly  stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                 HOMESTAKE MINING COMPANY SAVINGS PLAN
                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Description of Plan:
    --------------------
    The following description of the Homestake Mining Company Savings Plan
    (the Plan) provides only general information.  Participants should
    refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the
    Plan's provisions.


      General:
      --------
      The Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing plan (qualified
      under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) and 401(k)) covering all
      full-time salaried employees of Homestake Mining Company and its
      subsidiaries (the Company) who have completed three months of service
      and all temporary employees who have completed one year of service. 
      Hourly employees of the Company who are not covered by collective
      bargaining agreements and have completed three months of service are
      also eligible to participate in the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the
      provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
      (ERISA), as amended.

      The Plan is administered by the Savings Plan Committee of the Board
      of Directors of the Company (the Plan Committee).  Mellon Bank was
      the Plan's trustee through December 31, 1993 and was replaced by
      Wells Fargo Bank effective January 1, 1994.

      Contributions:
      --------------
      Participation is voluntary.  Participating employees may make
      contributions of between 1% and 6% of their monthly salary. The
      Company contributes a percentage, not less than 25% of the employee's
      regular contribution.  Participants may also contribute to the Plan
      amounts previously contributed to another qualified plan and
      additional amounts not exceeding 10% of their monthly salary.  These
      contributions are not matched by Company contributions.  

      Each participating employee may designate the percentage of their
      total contribution, including the Company's matching portion, to be
      invested in the common stock of Homestake Mining Company or in any of
      the funds in which the Plan invests.

1.  Description of Plan, continued:
    -------------------

      Participants' Accounts:
      -----------------------
      Separate accounts are maintained for each participant.  Each
      participant's account is directly credited with the participant's
      contribution and the Company's matching contribution.  Unless
      otherwise specified, discretionary additional Company contributions
      are allocated to each participant's account based on the ratio that
      each participant's compensation bears to the total compensation of
      all participants.  Net earnings from investments in trust funds,
      which includes appreciation (depreciation) in fair value, are
      allocated to each participant's account based on the ratio which the
      trust fund portion of that participant's account balance bears to the
      total of the trust fund portion of all participants' account
      balances.  Net earnings from investment in common stock of the
      Company, including appreciation (depreciation) in fair value, are
      allocated to each participant's account based on the actual number of
      shares of such common stock included therein.

      Participants have the option of periodically converting the common
      stock portion of their account into one of the trust funds, or vice
      versa, at the then current fair value of the stock.

      Vesting:
      --------
      The Plan offers full and immediate vesting of the employee
      contribution portion of each participant's account.  Company
      contributions are vested 60% after three years of service, 80% after
      four years of service, and 100% after five years of service, or on
      attainment of age 65, or at the time of retirement under the
      provision of the Homestake Mining Company retirement plan, or death.

1.  Description of Plan, continued:
    --------------------

      Payment of Benefits:
      --------------------
      Participants may withdraw any portion of their accounts related to
      their own after-tax contributions in accordance with the provisions
      of the Plan.

      Participants may not withdraw any portion of their accounts
      attributable to Company contributions made within the preceding two
      years.  Certain withdrawals result in suspension of the participant's
      right to contribute for specified periods.

      Loans:
      ------
      Participants may borrow from their account up to the lesser of 50% of
      their vested account balance or $50,000.  These loans bear interest
      at a composite of bank prime rates and are subject to approval by the
      Savings Plan Committee. 


      Forfeitures:
      ------------
      Forfeitures of unvested Company contributions are allocated as of the
      end of each Plan year among remaining participants entitled to
      matching Company contributions.


2.  Significant Accounting Policies:
    --------------------------------
      Securities:
      -----------
      Securities are stated at fair value as determined based on reference
      to quoted market prices.  Transactions are recorded on the trade date
      basis.  


      Guaranteed Investment Contracts:
      --------------------------------

2.  Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
    --------------------------------

      Withdrawals:
      -----------
      Withdrawals in kind of securities from the Homestake Mining Company
      Common Stock Fund are reported at market valuations.  Withdrawals
      from the Mellon Bank Investment Fund, Guaranteed Investment Contract
      Fund, and Wells Fargo Equity Index Fund are made in cash.

      Net Appreciation (Depreciation) in Fair Value of Investments:
      -------------------------------------------------------------
      The Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets
      available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the
      fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains or
      losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those
      investments.


3.  Plan Termination:
    ----------------
    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
    right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and
    to terminate the Plan subject to ERISA provisions.  In the event of
    Plan termination, all accumulated plan benefits will be fully vested
    and will be distributed to participants based on their respective
    account balances.


4.  Reclassifications:
    -----------------
    Certain reclassifications were made to 1992 balances to conform with
    the 1993 presentation with no effect on the net assets available for
    benefits or net change in net assets available for benefits as
    previously reported.


5.  Tax Status:
    ----------
    The Plan has been advised by the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan
    constitutes a qualified plan and trust under Section 401(a) and 401(k)
    of the Internal Revenue Code and is, therefore, exempt from federal
    income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a).

    Participants are not subject to federal income taxes on their pre- tax
    contributions, Company matching contributions, or investment earnings
    allocated to their account until withdrawals are made.
