NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. There has not been any change in the
significant accounting policies of Atlas Corporation (the "Company") for the
periods presented.
In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1996.
Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the
current year's presentation.
2. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31,
1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method
currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per
share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of
Statement 128 on the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per
share for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 is not
expected to be material.
There has been no dilution of earnings per share as a result of the exercise
of Option Warrants to Purchase Common Stock or stock options during the
periods presented.
3. The components of the net change in items other than cash related to
operating activities as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows are as follows:

4. The Company is obligated to decommission and reclaim its uranium mill site
located near Moab, Utah. The Company discontinued its uranium operations and
permanently shut down its uranium operations in 1987 and accrued estimated
shut-down and reclamation costs of $17,406,000. The balance of this accrual
at March 31, 1997 was $3,071,000. Title X of The Comprehensive National
Energy Policy Act ("Title X"), enacted in October 1992, provides
Page 5 of 13
<PAGE>
for the reimbursement of decommissioning and reclamation expenses related to
uranium sites with tailings generated by Atomic Energy Commission ("AEC")
contracts. The Company's uranium reclamation costs will be reduced by this
government cost sharing program as 56% of its tailings were generated under
AEC contracts. The Company believes the accrual, when combined with
anticipated reimbursements under the Title X program, is sufficient to cover
future reclamation costs.
The Company has submitted four claims to the Department of Energy ("DOE")
under Title X for reclamation costs incurred from the fiscal year ended June
30, 1980 through March 31, 1997. As of May 1, 1997, the status of the four
claims is as follows:

5. With respect to the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company reported the
financial results of Granges Inc. ("Granges"), a Canadian mining company in
which it held a 27.5% ownership interest as of March 31, 1996, under the
equity method. A summarized Statement of Operations (Unaudited, US dollars,
Canadian GAAP, in thousands) of Granges, as reported by Granges, for the
three month period ending March 31, 1996 is set forth below:

Under the equity method, the Company reported a net loss of $696,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996. Cost in excess of Atlas's share of
Granges' net assets were allocated based upon their relative market value.
Excess costs related to producing properties were amortized on a unit of
production (gold ounces) basis and were included in the reported loss.
On October 16, 1996, the Company sold 4,240,324 Granges Common Shares at
$1.32 per share. On October 31, 1996, Granges amalgamated with Da Capo
Resources Ltd. to form Vista Gold Corp. ("Vista"), further reducing the
Company's ownership interest to 9.6%. The Company continues to hold 8,393,826
Vista Common Shares, which have been pledged as security for the Company's
$9.81 million Exchangeable Debentures due October 25, 2000. As a consequence
of these changes, the Company changed its method of accounting for the Vista
investment from an equity basis to a fair value basis with unrealized gains
and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS
-------------
"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE UNITED STATES PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION
REFORM ACT OF 1995.
Statements which are not historical facts contained in this Form 10-Q are
forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ from projected results. Factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially include, among others: general
economic conditions, metal and mineral prices, political events in foreign
countries, the risks associated with foreign operations generally, the timing
of receipt of necessary governmental permits, climatic conditions, labor
relations, availability and cost of material and equipment, the actual
configuration of ore bodies, delays in anticipated start-up dates,
environmental risks, the results of financing efforts and other risk factors
detailed in the Company's Form 10-K and 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
RECENT EVENTS
On April 24, 1997, the Company signed a binding letter agreement with Barrick
Gold Exploration Inc. ("Barrick"), a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation
of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with respect to the purchase from the Company of
its Gold Bar property. Under the terms of the letter agreement, subject to
satisfactory due diligence, Barrick will purchase from the Company more than
90% of the Gold Bar properties with an option to acquire the balance within
two years. The letter agreement provides for completion of definitive
purchase agreements on or before June 3, 1997. Upon execution of the
definitive purchase agreements, the Company will receive from Barrick
$1,000,000 in cash and Barrick will purchase 1,000,000 Atlas Common Shares at
$1 per share. During the following two year period Barrick is required to
expend $3,000,000 on the Gold Bar property, inclusive of holding costs.
Unless Barrick elects to reconvey the property to the Company at the end of
the two year period, upon the transfer of the balance of the property to
Barrick, the Company will have the option to receive $15,000,000 and retain a
2% net smelter royalty, or to participate with Barrick in the further
exploration and development of the property as a 25% carried joint venture
participant. If the Company elects the joint venture alternative, Barrick
will be obligated to expend a
Page 7 of 13
<PAGE>
minimum of $15,000,000 on the project. If Barrick elects to reconvey the
properties purchased at the end of the initial two year period, then all of
Barrick's interest in Gold Bar will be reconveyed to the Company.
In April 1997, the Company completed a $500,000 short-term financing from
CaribGold Resources Inc. of Toronto, secured by the Doby George property. The
note is repayable on or before October 16, 1997 at Prime Rate plus 2%.
In May 1997, Arisur Inc. ("Arisur"), the Company's wholly owned Bolivian
subsidiary, completed a financing agreement with the Corporacion Andina de
Fomento ("CAF") for $3 million. CAF is a multilateral financial institution
that supports sustainable development and integration efforts within the
Andean region of South America. The proceeds of the loan will pay for certain
equipment and expansion programs of the Bolivian operations including $560,000
previously advanced by the Company for said purposes.
CAPITAL RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS
Bolivian operations
Late in 1996, the Company began an underground mine development program at the
Andacaba and Don Francisco mines and a mill expansion program at the Don Roy
mill in order to increase both mine production and milling capacity from these
operations. The mill expansion was completed in April 1997, increasing
capacity to more than 500 metric tonnes per day. The mine expansion is
expected to be completed by the end of 1997. Upon completion, operations at
Andacaba will be expanded from 220 tonnes per day ("tpd") to 400 tpd and at
Don Francisco from 80 tpd to 200 tpd. Total remaining capital costs for the
development program are expected to be funded from the CAF loan noted above
and from cash from continuing operations.
The Company anticipates funding the acquisition of additional Bolivian
operations through cash flow from operations, project financing, placement of
additional equity or debt and/or the sale of assets.
Perlite
The Tucker Hill perlite project which is owned by Atlas's majority owned
subsidiary, Cornerstone Industrial Minerals Corporation, is currently in the
initial start-up phase. Mining of perlite ore, which is stockpiled for
processing at the Tucker Hill plant, commenced in December 1996. The first
shipment of crushed and sized perlite was delivered in February 1997.
Subsequently, modifications identified in the initial operating phase of
processing were begun at the facility, and equipment upgrades commenced at the
same time. Production is expected to recommence by mid-1997. The Company
anticipates that the remaining plant modifications will be funded from
existing cash reserves and from cash flow from operations.
Page 8 of 13
<PAGE>
Gold Properties
On March 21, 1997, the Company closed on the sale of its Musgrove Creek
property to Meridian Gold Company ("Meridian") for a total sales price of
$125,000, including $25,000 received in 1996. In addition, Meridian has agreed
to assume a reclamation obligation of $55,000, to convey to Atlas a 1% net
smelter return on claims previously owned by Atlas. In the event Meridian
places minerals at Musgrove Creek into production, Atlas will receive an
additional $100,000.
Exploration and development expenditures on the Gold Bar claim block will be
funded by Barrick as described above. With the completion of the letter
agreement, and with other cost cutting measures recently implemented, the
Company's holding costs on the property will decrease significantly in 1997 to
an estimated $350,000. These costs will be funded from cash flow from
operations, debt and equity financing and the Gold Bar sales proceeds as
described above.
The Company is currently assessing development strategies and alternatives for
the Grassy Mountain and Doby George gold properties. While the Company has
made the expansion of the Bolivian operations its immediate focus, its long
term strategy is to grow its Bolivian operations, and to develop and expand
the Company's interests in gold properties.
Reclamation Activities
The Company is obligated to decommission and reclaim its uranium mill site
near Moab, Utah. Final reclamation will commence following the issuance of a
final Environmental Impact Statement on Atlas's reclamation plan. See below,
"Results of Operations -- Reclamation Activities". The total estimated cost of
Atlas's proposed reclamation plan is $12-$17 million. As the Department of
Energy will reimburse 56% of all reclamation costs under Title X, Atlas will
be reimbursed for approximately $6.7-$9.5 million in reclamation costs,
leaving Atlas to fund $5.3-$7.5 million. The Company has filed claims of $6.8
million for reimbursement of Title X reclamation costs incurred through March
1997 and has received payments of $3.3 million, leaving $3.5 million in Title
X reimbursements due Atlas. Atlas also has $4.2 million in restricted cash
securing a Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") reclamation performance bond.
Based upon the amounts due the Company under Title X, and the restricted cash
supporting the performance bond, the Company is confident that it will be able
to fund and/or finance the anticipated costs for reclamation of its uranium
mill and tailings site.
LIQUIDITY
From the suspension of milling operations at the Gold Bar property in
September 1994 until the acquisition of Arisur in October of 1996, the Company
had no mining revenue and has funded its operating losses, capital and working
capital requirements through a combination of the issuance of debt and equity
instruments and the sale of assets.
As of March 31, 1997, the working capital deficit was $4,558,000, which
compares to working capital of $7,299,000 as of March 31, 1996. The Company's
current ratio at March 31, 1997 was .32 to 1, compared to 3.59 to 1 at March
31, 1996. The decrease during the year is primarily a result of the Company's
cash investment in Arisur totaling $4.8 million,
Page 9 of 13
<PAGE>
development and construction costs of $3,316,000 at the Tucker Hill perlite
property in Lakeview, Oregon and ongoing general and administrative costs.
In order to fund near term capital requirements, the Company has
entered into the letter agreement with Barrick, the CAF loan and the short-
term loan all discussed above. Longer term capital requirements will be
satisfied from project financing, future operating cash flows, placement of
additional equity or debt and/or from the sale of other assets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company had mining revenue of
$654,000 compared to no mining revenue in the same period of 1996. This is a
result of the acquisition of Arisur in October 1996, which has operating lead,
zinc and silver mines in Bolivia, South America. Mining revenue was less than
expected during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 due to flooding which cut off
access to Don Francisco and reduced production from Andacaba. This level of
flooding is uncharacteristic and production from all mines has resumed.
Cash production costs were $614,000 in the first quarter of 1997 compared to
no costs during the same period of 1996, for the same reasons as noted above.
Production costs were also adversely impacted by the flooding noted above
resulting in lower than expected operating cash flow of $40,000.
Shutdown and standby costs at Gold Bar of $107,000 were incurred in the three
month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to $282,000 for the comparable
period in 1996. The decrease is a result of cost cutting measures implemented
by the Company as a result of its decision not to resume mining operations on
the Gold Bar claim block.
Exploration costs for the three month period ending March 31, 1997 were
$557,000 compared to $89,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The 1997
amount includes a $450,000 charge pursuant to the Company's joint venture
termination agreement with Vista Gold Corp.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997
were $639,000 compared to $1,211,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The
1996 amount is a result of Company bonuses paid during that quarter, an
intensified property acquisition program and costs associated with the
relocation of the corporate office. These costs were eliminated in 1997 in
conjunction with an overall cost reduction program, which has resulted in the
significant decrease in costs for the current quarter.
Interest expense incurred during the three month period ended March 31, 1997
was $310,000 compared to $423,000 for the three month period ended March 31,
1996. The decrease was due to a lower overall borrowing rate in 1997 versus
the same period in 1996.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company incurred $918,000 in
capital expenditures, of which $738,000 related to the development and
construction of the Tucker Hill process facility and $167,000 related to the
ongoing mine and mill expansion in Bolivia.

<PAGE>
Reclamation Activities
On January 30, 1996, the NRC, the federal agency responsible for overseeing
decommissioning and reclamation of Atlas's uranium site located near Moab,
Utah, released for public comment a draft Environmental Impact Statement
("EIS") and draft Technical Evaluation Report ("TER") on Atlas's proposal for
reclamation in place of the uranium tailings generated by Atlas's uranium mill
from 1956 to 1984. On March 7, 1997, the NRC issued the final TER which
concluded that the Atlas plan for capping the tailings facility on-site was in
compliance with NRC's technical requirements. The final EIS is expected in
the fall of 1997.
The Company is confident that the ultimate result of the EIS review process,
in conjunction with the supportive conclusion of the TER will be the approval
of its reclamation plan, and that its remaining accrual, when combined with
anticipated reimbursements of reclamation costs under the Title X program and
restricted cash used for surety collateral, is sufficient to cover future
reclamation costs.
