Item 5. Other Events.
On February 9, 1996, the Company issued the following press release:
"UPDATE ON POSSIBLE SALE OF FMC GOLD COMPANY
CHICAGO, February 9, 1996--In September 1995, FMC Gold Company announced
that it was initiating a process for the possible sale of the company. The
results of the sale process to date suggest that there is greater interest in
the sale of individual assets than in the purchase of the company as a whole.
Also, the recent upturn in gold prices and gold equity markets presents an
opportunity to evaluate additional options. Therefore, FMC Gold has determined
that it will augment its previously announced sale process to include a range of
options based on current gold equity market conditions and interest in
individual properties. The company is retaining J.P. Morgan & Co., Inc. to join
Wood Gundy Inc. as financial advisors for this process.
FMC Gold noted that there is no assurance that a transaction(s) will result
from its ongoing effort, and there is no assurance regarding the value of any
transaction(s) to be consummated."
