                    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 June 30, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements of ICHOR Corporation, formerly PDG 
Remediation, Inc. (the "Corporation") are unaudited.  However, in the opinion 
of management, they include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation 
of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the 
Corporation with respect to the specified periods.  

On September 4, 1996, the Corporation's Board of Directors voted to change 
the Corporation's fiscal year end from January 31 to December 31.
 
All adjustments made during the three months and the six months ended June 
30, 1997, respectively, were of a normal, recurring nature.  The amounts 
presented for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 1997, 
respectively, are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a 
full year. Additional information is contained in the statements and 
accompanying notes included in the Corporation's Transition Report on Form 
10-K for the 11 months ended December 31, 1996, and should be read in 
conjunction with this quarterly report.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial 
statements to conform with the current year presentation.

NOTE 2.  BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

The Corporation is in the environmental services business of recycling 
petroleum waste products and disposing of oily waste waters.  The Corporation 
operates a waste oil recycling facility located in McCook, Illinois which was 
brought on-line in the second quarter of 1997 and converts waste oil into 
distillate and other recycled petroleum products and processes and disposes 
of oily waste waters.

NOTE 3.  NET LOSS PER SHARE

Primary earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net loss by the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three months 
and the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The weighted 
average number of shares was 4,917,716 and 2,470,000 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 4,912,933 and 2,470,000 for the 
three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Stock options and warrants have not been reflected as exercised for purposes 
of computing the primary loss per share for the three months and the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, since the exercise of such 
options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As discussed in further detail in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" contained in 
the Corporation's Transition Report on Form 10-K for the 11 months ended 
December 31, 1996, the Corporation, its former parent company, certain of its 
officers and directors, and the underwriters of its initial public offering 
have been named as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit involving 
the purchase by all persons and entities of the Corporation's common stock 
from February 9, 1995 through May 23, 1995.  The action alleges that the 
defendants violated certain federal securities laws.

The Corporation believes that the allegations are without merit or that there 
are meritorious defenses to the allegations, and intends to defend the action 
vigorously.  If, however, the plaintiff is successful in its claims, a 
judgment rendered against the Corporation and the other defendants may have a 
material adverse effect on the business and operations of the Corporation.

NOTE 5.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective April 30, 1997, the Corporation sold substantially all of the 
assets of its environmental remediation services operation for approximately 
$0.2 million.

                         PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                   ---------------------

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and the 
financial condition of ICHOR Corporation (the "Corporation") for the three 
months and the six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, should be read 
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes 
included elsewhere herein.

The Corporation is focusing on the development of its waste oil recycling 
business and related operations, which consist primarily of a waste oil 
recycling facility located in McCook, Illinois that converts waste oil into 
distillate and other recycled petroleum products and processes and disposes 
of oily waste waters (the "McCook Facility").  This facility was brought on-
line in the second quarter of 1997.  The Company also plans to expand through 
the acquisition of related businesses.

Effective April 30, 1997, the Corporation sold substantially all of the 
assets of its environmental remediation services operation for approximately 
$0.2 million.  This operation has been classified separately within the 
Corporation's financial statements as "discontinued operations" and is 
excluded from the amounts of revenues and expenses of the Corporation's 
continuing operations.  The Corporation's comparative financial statements 
for the periods ended June 30, 1996 have been restated to conform to this 
method of presentation.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $1.0 million, compared 
to nil for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Cost of sales for the period 
ended June 30, 1997 was $1.1 million, compared to nil for the period ended 
June 30, 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the current period of 1997 
decreased to $0.3 million from $0.5 million in the comparative period of 
1996, principally due to the downsizing of the Corporation's head office.

Interest expense was $0.4 million in the period ended June 30, 1997, compared 
to $0.2 million in the period ended June 30, 1996, primarily as a result of 
an increase in long-term debt and in the amounts funded under the Sirrom 
Agreements (as hereinafter defined) in the current period of 1997.

The Corporation reported a loss from continuing operations of $0.8 million in 
the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $0.7 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996, primarily as a result of the increase in interest 
expense and the start-up of the McCook Facility, which was partially offset 
by the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the 
current period of 1997.

                                       -9-



<PAGE>  10

The Corporation had an operating loss from discontinued operations of $0.2 
million in the current period of 1997, compared to $0.4 million in the 
comparative period of 1996.  The Corporation had a gain on the disposal of 
its environmental remediation services assets of $59,000 in the six months 
ended June 30, 1997 and a loss on the disposal of its thermal treatment 
facility of $0.8 million for the period ended June 30, 1996.

The Corporation's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.0 
million or $0.20 per share, compared to $2.0 million or $0.80 per share for 
the period ended June 30, 1996.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $0.9 million, compared 
to nil for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  Cost of sales for the 
period ended June 30, 1997 was $1.0 million, compared to nil for the period 
ended June 30, 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the current period of 1997 
decreased to $0.1 million from $0.2 million in the comparative period of 
1996, principally due to the downsizing of the Corporation's head office.

Interest expense was $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997, 
compared to $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 1996, primarily 
as a result of an increase in long-term debt and in the amounts funded under 
the Sirrom Agreements in the current period of 1997.

The Corporation reported a loss from continuing operations of $0.4 million in 
the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The decrease in 
selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period of 1997 
was offset by the increase in interest expense and the start-up of the McCook 
Facility.

The Corporation had an operating loss from discontinued operations of $93,000 
in the quarter ended June 30, 1997, compared to $68,000 in the comparative 
period of 1996.  The Corporation had a gain on the disposal of its 
environmental remediation services assets of $59,000 in the current period of 
1997.

The Corporation's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $0.5 
million or $0.10 per share, compared to $0.4 million or $0.17 per share for 
the period ended June 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

At June 30, 1997, the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.3 
million, a net decrease of $0.3 million from $0.6 million at December 31,
1996.  At June 30, 1997, the Corporation had $0.9 million held in escrow,
compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 1996.

At June 30, 1997, the Corporation was funded in the amount of $4.3 million 
under two agreements with Sirrom Environmental Funding, LLC (the "Sirrom 
Agreements") which enabled the Corporation to fund amounts billed and 
outstanding under certain Florida State rehabilitation programs at rates of 
prime plus 2% and prime plus 3%, respectively.  The Corporation anticipates 
that the amounts funded will be paid in the fourth quarter of 1997 
and, as a result, the cash which it holds in escrow to cover potential 
disallowances, future interest costs and a commitment fee will be released. 
However, the payments are to be discounted at the rate of 3.5% effective 
January 1, 1997, and the present value of a reimbursement application will be 
based upon the actual settlement date of the application rather than the 
original settlement date.  The Corporation will not be able to determine the 
impact of this discounting on its operating results until a schedule of 
anticipated payment dates is established.  The Corporation may be required to 
record an adjustment to reflect the negative impact of the discounting on its 
results of operations and financial condition.

Net cash used in continuing operating activities was $0.3 million for the 
period ended June 30, 1997, compared to cash provided of $0.9 million for the 
period ended June 30, 1996.  Operating activities used cash primarily as a 
result of the net loss for the period and an increase in accounts receivable. 
In the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase in accounts receivable
used cash of $0.4 million, compared to a decrease in accounts receivable
providing cash of $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Investing activities of continuing operations used cash of $0.3 million in 
the period ended June 30, 1997, and $0.1 million in the period ended June 30, 
1996, as a result of the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing activities of continuing operations provided cash of $0.3 million 
in the period ended June 30, 1997, compared to $20,000 in the period ended 
June 30, 1996.  The Corporation maintains two lines of credit, one with an 
affiliate in the amount of $0.5 million and one with another lender in the 
amount of $0.8 million, to fund the working capital requirements of the 
McCook Facility, which was brought on-line in the second quarter of 1997.  A 
net increase in debt in the six months ended June 30, 1997 provided cash of 
$0.3 million, compared to $20,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996.

The Corporation believes that the cash generated from operations and its 
lines of credit should enable the Corporation to meet its ongoing liquidity 
requirements.  The Corporation is closely monitoring its liquidity 
requirements and continues to implement cost reductions and conserve cash as 
necessary.
