PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF CENTURION MINES CORPORATION
(Hereinafter referred to as Registrant or Company)
The condensed, consolidated financial statements of the Registrant
included herein have been prepared by the Registrant from its own books and
records. In the opinion of management, the financial statements included
in this quarterly report present fairly in all material respects, the
financial position of Registrant and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997, and
September 30, 1996, the results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the cash flows for the nine months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, in conformance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Item 2, a substantial portion of Registrant's assets
consist of investments in mineral properties for which additional
exploration is required to determine if they contain ore reserves that are
economically recoverable. The realization of these investments is dependent
upon the success of future property sales, the existence of economically
recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing or make
other arrangements for development, and upon future profitable production.
Accordingly, no provision for any asset impairment that may result, in the
event the Company is not successful in developing or selling these properties,
has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources.
- -----------------------------------------------------
Since inception on June 21, 1984, the Company has been engaged in exploration,
acquisition, and development of mineral properties primarily through joint
ventures. The Company's principal capital resources have been acquired
through issuance of common stock, through joint venture operations, and through
sales of various properties. The Company has primarily relied upon joint
venture partners to finance the on-going costs of holding and developing
properties.
At June 30, 1997, the Company had a deficit working capital of ($78,077)
compared to working capital at September 30, 1996, of $16,695. This decline
in available working capital was primarily the result of a decrease in the
value of common stock that was issued for cash.
At June 30, 1997, the Company owned 1,170,267 shares of Royal Silver Mines,
Inc. common stock, a related company, which is approximately 8 percent of the
total shares of Royal common stock outstanding as of June 30, 1997. The
market value of Royal common stock on the first trading day after June 30,
1997, was $.81 per share (Note 3).
The Company's assets consist primarily of interests in mineral properties. The
total assets increased from $8,849,485 at September 30, 1996, to $9,726,653
at June 30, 1997. The increase in total assets is primarily due to the
exploration, development and purchase of mineral properties along with the
acquisition of additional mineral rights.
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the following
companies, with the state of incorporation and percentage of ownership as
shown: Centurion Mines Corporation, Utah, 100%; Centurion Exploration,
Incorporated, Utah, 100%; Dotson Exploration Company, Nevada, 100%; Mammoth
Mining Company, Nevada, 81.8%; The Gold Chain Mining Company, Utah, 61.1%;
and Tintic Coalition Mines, Utah, 80%.
The Company does not have sufficient capital to fully explore and develop its
mineral properties, nor does the Company currently have continuing revenues.
The Company plans to continue financing its exploration activities through
joint ventures, production activities, equity funding, or by selling
properties and retaining royalty interests.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's operations used
$1,005,466 of cash as compared to $513,654 during the nine months ended June
30, 1996. This increase in cash flow is the result of a change in management's
objectives from that of actively acquiring additional mineral properties to
increasing the exploration and development of current properties. During the
three months ended June 30, 1997, cash flows from operations included the
issuance of common stock to various entities for compensation and services,
valued at $402,060.
The Company had a loss for the three months ended June 30, 1997, of $305,751
or $0.01 per share compared with a loss for the three months ended June 30,
1996, of $267,530 or $0.01 share. This change is primarily the result of a
decline in the number of shares of Royal Silver Mines, Inc. stock owned by
the Company that was liquidated.
-9-
<PAGE>
General and administrative costs decreased by $213,449 to $343,192 in the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
This decrease is the result of the reduction in the number of employees
who work for the corporation, relocation of the corporations office and
the overall cost cutting and new company policies. Management believes
there is no known certainty nor uncertainty that such reduction may result
in adverse consequences to the Company's financial condition.
These improvements allowed the Company to concentrate use of its funds in the
areas of land acquisition and exploration, and in the rehabilitation of tunnels
and water systems in certain previously-producing mines. Also, the Company
continued to invest additional funds in equipment for exploration and analysis
of exploration data. These equipment acquisitions will allow the Company to
increase its use of Company personnel, rather than outside contractors.
Increases in lease expense for leased property partly offset the decreases in
operating expenses discussed above.
