     (a) During the past five years none of Bancorp, or to the best knowledge of
         Bancorp, its directors and executive officers, have been convicted in a
         criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
         misdemeanours).

     (b) During the past five years none of Bancorp, or to the best knowledge of
         Bancorp, its directors and executive officers, have been a party to a
         civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
         jurisdiction as a result of which a judgment, decree or final order has
         been issued enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
         activities subject to, United States federal or state securities laws
         or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

     (c) All of the directors and officers are Canadian citizens.


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

As a result of a reincorporation merger which was approved by Zemex shareholders
at a special meeting held on January 15, 1999, all of the common shares of Zemex
Corporation, a Delaware company ("Zemex Delaware"), were converted into Common
Shares of Zemex on a one-for-one basis.
The merger was proposed in order to change the


                                  Page 4 of 6

<PAGE>   5


company's domicile from the United States to Canada as Zemex believes that
reincorporation in Canada will enable it to benefit from an active trading
market in Canada for Canadian natural resource companies. Prior to the merger,
Zemex Delaware was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Common Shares of
Zemex are now listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock
Exchange. Details of the merger are set out in Zemex's Form S-4/A which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 1998.

Bancorp holds the Common Shares of Zemex for investment purposes and may
increase or decrease its position in Zemex as it deems appropriate in light of
its investment criteria and market conditions, and in accordance with the
provisions of applicable securities legislation.


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

As of January 21, 1999, Bancorp beneficially owns, indirectly, 2,955,175 Common
Shares, representing approximately 33.9% of the outstanding Common Shares of
Zemex. Bancorp acquired certain of these Common Shares through stock dividends,
the most recent of which were 57,942 Common Shares acquired on December 1, 1998.

Unless otherwise noted, Bancorp and, to the best knowledge of Bancorp, its
directors and executive officers, have sole voting and dispositive power over
the securities beneficially owned by it. Except as disclosed herein, during the
past sixty days neither Bancorp, nor, to the best knowledge of Bancorp, any of
its directors and executive officers, have effected any transaction in the
securities reported on this Schedule 13D.

Paul Carroll currently owns directly approximately 15,010 Common Shares (less
than .1% of class).

On December 29, 1998, Ned Goodman donated 5,520 Common Shares to a charitable
foundation. Mr. Goodman currently owns directly nil Common Shares.

Richard L. Lister currently owns, directly and indirectly, approximately 590,131
Common Shares (6.8% of class). On December 31, 1998, Mr. Lister purchased 1,946
Common Shares at $6.472 per share under the employee stock purchase plan.

Messrs. Carroll, Goodman and Lister hold the following options to purchase
Common Shares of Zemex, which options were granted to them by Zemex Delaware
prior to the reincorporation merger and which now entitle the holders to
purchase an equivalent number of Zemex Common Shares:
