The Board of Trustees 
Oregon Steel Mills, Inc.
    Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Portland, Oregon 


     We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Oregon Steel Mills, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan as
of December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 and the related statements of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits for the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993.  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 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, 1992 and 1991, and the changes in net assets available
for plan benefits for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, 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 Assets
Held for Investment Purposes and Reportable and Party-in-Interest Transactions
as of and for the year ended December 31, 1993 are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial

                                        2<PAGE>

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 for the year ended December 31, 1993 and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

1. Plan Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
   ---------------------------------------------------------------

The following description of the Oregon Steel Mills, Inc. (the Company)
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan or ESOP) provides only general
information.  Participants should refer to the Plan document or the summary
Plan description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

Plan Description
- ----------------

The Plan, established by the Company on November 27, 1980 and as amended and
restated effective January 1, 1989, is designed to invest primarily in common
stock of the Company for the benefit of eligible employees (those employed by
the Company or its wholly owned subsidiaries, Napa Pipe Corporation and Oregon
Steel Mills - Fontana Division, Inc., at year end with at least six months
service).  Employer contributions to the Plan are made at the sole discretion
of the Company's Board of Directors, generally in the form of new shares of the
Company's common stock.  Employer contributions are allocated annually to each
participant's account based on the proportion that each participant's
compensation bears to total compensation, subject to specified limitations. 
Voluntary contributions by participants are not permitted.

Payments of vested benefits to a participant whose employment has terminated
are generally made by a single distribution of Company stock.  The Plan may
distribute cash in lieu of Company stock at the election of the Plan's
administrative committee provided sufficient cash is available and provided the
participant consents in writing to receive a cash distribution.

The full amount credited to a participant's account vests at age 65 or when a
participant terminates by reason of death or total disability.  The account of
a participant otherwise vests ratably over seven years of employment, at the
rate of ten percent for each of the first four years, and twenty percent for
each of the next three years.  At termination, the nonvested portion of a
former participant's account is forfeited.  All forfeitures are allocated
among the accounts of persons who are participants on the last day of the 
Plan's fiscal year, or whose participation in the Plan terminated during the
fiscal year because of Normal Retirement (as defined in the Plan) death, total
disability or layoff, in the proportion that each such person's compensation
taken into account under the Plan bears to such compensation of all those
persons for the fiscal year.

Plan Description, Continued
- ----------------

A participant who has attained age 59-1/2 and is fully vested may elect to
receive a distribution of his or her entire account balance in the Plan.  On
December 7, 1989, the ESOP was amended effective January 1, 1990 to allow
participants who are fully vested and who have attained the age of 40, but not
age 59-1/2, to elect a distribution of part of their Plan stock account 
balance. The maximum amount of the elective distribution is a percentage of
the participant's common stock account determined on a cumulative basis at the
rate of 5% per year, beginning with the year the participant attains age 40, up
to 50% of the participant's stock account.  The method of distribution can be
either partly or totally in the form of a distribution of common stock to the
participant or a sale of common stock by the Plan and a transfer of the
proceeds from the sale to the participant's account under the Company's Thrift
Plan.

An administrative committee appointed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer
administers the Plan.  

Contributions under the Plan and all other assets of the Plan are held in trust
under agreements entered into between the Company and the Plan Trustees.  

While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it may do
so at its sole discretion.  In the event the Plan is terminated, benefits
become fully vested and nonforfeitable and the assets of all participants'
accounts will be distributed to or for the benefit of the participants in
accordance with the Plan's provisions.  

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in
preparation of the Plan's financial statements:   

Investments
- -----------

The investment in the Company's common stock is stated at market value at
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, as determined by the closing quote on that
day on the New York Stock Exchange.  

The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits the net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of its
investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on those investments.  

Dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date.  Sales of investment are
recorded on a trade-date basis.  Realized gains and losses are based on the
actual cost of securities.

   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Benefits to Former Participants
- -------------------------------

Benefits are accrued as a liability in the period the participant terminates.  
A terminated participant may elect to defer the date benefits are distributed
to a date beyond age 65, but no later than April 1 following the calendar year
in which the participant attains age 70-1/2.  

Federal Income Taxes 
- --------------------

The Plan has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue
Service as to the qualification of the Plan and exemption from federal income
taxes.  

Expenses  
- --------

Administrative expenses of the Plan have been paid by the Company at its
election.
