operated thirty nine (39) mines and one (1) mill site at Quincy, Plumas
County, California, and engaged in the exploration of said mines for the
production of precious metals like gold and silver. More recently, the
Company has applied for a license in Las Vegas, Nevada to conduct Life
Extension programs and to operate hotels and casinos.
Currency Transactions - There are no assets and liabilities of operations
outside the United States which need to be translated into U.S. dollars
using exchange rates.

its mining properties until the mines are ready for operation and
development.There are no plans currently in effect to re-open mining
operations.

Dominguez.California, 90221, six (6) 55 gallon-drum containers of gold
dust (powder form) 999.5% pure weighing 76,112 troy ounces with a value
of $27,316,600 based on a gold floor price of $358.90 per troy ounce.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is not 50% owned by 5 or fewer individuals.
6. PROVEN GOLD AND SILVER RESERVE
The process of estimating mineral reserves is very complex, requiring
significant subjective decision in the evaluation of available
geological, engineering, and economic data for each reserve. The data
for a given reserve may change substantially over time as a result of
additional development activity, production under varying economic
conditions, etc.
Consequently, material revision to the existing reserve estimates may
occur in the future. Although, every reasonable effort was made to
ensure that the reserve estimates reported represent the most
accurate assessment possible, the significance of the ubjective
decision required, the variances in the available data for various
reserves, make these estimates generally less precise than other
estimates in connection with financial disclosure. Proven reserves
are estimated quantities of gold and silver which geological and
engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty,
to be recoverable in future years from known reserves under existing
economic and operating conditions.

Stickel and Associates, independent consultants in applied geology,
geophysics and engineering, has estimated 7,000,000 troy ounces of
gold and 19,000,000 troy ounces of silver. The values of these
reserves based on average market prices as of September 30, 1997 and

ITEM 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Summary of significant Accounting Policies
Nature of the Business: Continental Well Casinos Trust, a Nevada real estate
investment trust was originally incorporated in Colorado on October 29, 1974,
as Minerals Mining Corporation. The name was first changed to Grand American
International Corporation, then Continental Wellness Casinos Corp., and then
the form of the Company was changed to a real estate investment trust in Nevada
December 22, 1997, and the present name was adopted. The Company had been
engaged in the discovery and development of precious metals with mining
properties located at Quincy, Plumas County, California. The Company has 750
acres of land where 39 unpatented mineing claims are located. All assessment
work has been done at the mines and all reports have been filed with the Bureau
of Land Management, Sacramento, California and the County of Plumas in
accordance with the mining rules and regulations. The Company has permits to
operate the mines from the United States Forestry Department, Quincy,
California. The Company presently does not intend to re-open mining operations
to recover the gold and silver in the proven reserves, and will not do so until
the price of gold increases significantly.
The Company is in the process of getting its live longer center, a longevity
members association, with the purpose of making people live longer by using
preventive medicine with genes testing for discovery of predominant illness
in the different subjects and repair defective genes by genetic engineering
followed with a program of exercise and nutrition. The hotel's guests sign a
long term rental agreement for a room or suite at the Company's resort hotel
and casino for a week or two per year for a period of ten years, payable in
advance, and also receive one week of care at the center. The rental cost is
$ 1,000.00 per week per year per guest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The expansion and diversification of the Registrant's business has occurred
selectively for the past two years through the development of the Registrant's
mines for the production of gold and silver and other precious metals. The
Registrant is organizing its longevity center, a wellness resort for life
extension. The strategic and aggressive growth program enables the Registrant
to provide future earnings for the Company. The Registrant is confident that
the program of long term room rentals in a resort hotel and casino
in conjunction with a longevity center, will increase sales and produce
a positive cash flow.

Gentlemen
This letter presents our present geological engineering evaluation of the
subject gold and silver claims that are located in Plumas County, California.
We visited and inspected the property on April 19 and 20, 1985. The property
consists of approximately 750 acres of lode claims with a reported overlying of
a few placer claims. The properties lie about 5 and 11 miles directly west of
Quincy on the Bucks Lake Road.
The claims are named Blackhawk, Alan, MMC, and Dean. The Blackhawk, Alan and
MMC claims lie in the northwest corner of Section 13, T24N, R8E.
GEOLOGY
These claims lie along the southwest and northwest borders of a northwest
trending zone or band of highly fractured peridotite altered to serpentine.
Broad fault zones bound the peridotite bodies or bands and there are no
indications of heat alteration. There has been no production from hard rock
mining, however, significant placer hydraulicking and sluicing has occurred.
The placer deposits occur in two periods of erosion, the Present and the
Tertiary. Although, concentrations of gold have only been found in the
Blackhawk and Dean claims, it does occur scattered throughout the peridotite.
PRESENCE OF GOLD AND SILVER
Reference 2 indicates that there is a conservative
10,000,000 tons of hard rock ore reserves. Rock Chip and channel samples were
obtained from 10 to 50 foot sections of road cuts and outcrops on these claims
and it is reported - assayed high in gold (Au). The highest gold value was
2.80 oz /ton, however, the overall average was .7 oz/ton. Silver
(Ag) ranged from a trace to 2.62 oz/ton. These values varied greatly, depending
upon the freshness of the outcrop. Assays also indicated the presence of
platinoid metals.
Total amount of gold and silver in these claims is 7,000,000 oz. of gold and
19,000,000 oz. of silver. These figures were compiled from data presented
in Reference 2.
<PAGE> 15
It is reported that during the summer of 1983, approximately $30,000 worth of
placer gold was dredged from one of the creeks flowing through the Blackhawk
claims. This gold was dredged from an area of the creek about 100 yards long.
