PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC.
(Hereinafter referred to as Registrant.)
Condensed financial statements, and an accompanying independent
accountants' report, are filed as part of this Quarterly Report at
pages 7 to 28. In management's opinion, these financial statements
present fairly in all material respects Registrant's financial
condition and changes in condition as of March 31, 1997 and September
30, 1996, and the results of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, and from
inception on February 17, 1994 through March 31,1997, in conformance
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements consolidate the financial
statements of Celebration Mining Company and Royal Silver Mines, Inc.
due to the Reorganization discussed in Note 1 of the financial
statements following this Report. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Also, the
consolidation required a change in fiscal year-end, from November 30
(Celebration) to September 30 (Royal). The financial statements
account for the Reorganization using the purchase method of
accounting (see Note 1 to the financial statements). Celebration is
treated as the acquiring company for financial reporting purposes
because its shareholders constitute greater than 50 percent of the
combined shareholder group. In conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and the Registrant's accounting policy,
Celebration is recognized as the predecessor entity. Consequently,
Celebration's assets and liabilities were not adjusted in the
accompanying financial statements. The financial statements for the
period from the inception of Celebration on February 17, 1994 to
November 30, 1994 ("Fiscal 1994") do not include the balance sheet
data or results of operations of Consolidated Royal Mines, Inc. The
accompanying financial statements represent the activities of Royal
Silver Mines and Celebration, but are not considered consolidated
financial statements since Royal Silver is the successor to
Celebration.
As discussed in greater detail under Item 2 below, 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 contingent to large extent upon
the success of Registrant's property transactions as a whole, the
existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the
Registrant to obtain financing or make other arrangements for
development, and upon future profitable production. Accordingly, the
accompanying financial statements make no provision for any asset
impairment or other adjustment that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
<PAGE> 3
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
There is considerable risk in any mining venture, and there can be no
assurance that the Registrant's operations will be successful or
profitable. Exploration for commercially minable ore deposits is
highly speculative and involves risks greater than those involved in
the discovery of mineralization. Mining companies use the evaluation
work of professional geologists, geophysicists, and engineers in
determining whether to acquire an interest in a
specific property, or whether or not to commence exploration or
development work. These estimates are not always scientifically
exact, and in some instances result in the expenditure of substantial
amount of money on a property before it is possible to make a final
determination as to whether or not the property contains economically
minable ore bodies. The economic viability of a property cannot be
finally determined until extensive exploration and development work,
plus a detailed economic feasibility study, has been performed.
Also, the market prices for mineralization produced are subject to
fluctuation and uncertainty, which may negatively affect the economic
viability of properties on which expenditures have been made. During
the development stage of the Registrant, from inception to March 31,
1997, the Registrant accumulated a deficit of $4,129,585.
At March 31, 1997, $4,633,920 of the Registrant's total assets of
$6,492,652 were investments in mineral properties. Additional
exploration is required to substantiate or determine whether these
mineral properties 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 Registrant to obtain
financing, the Registrant's success in carrying out its present plans
or making other arrangements for development, and upon future
profitable production. The ultimate outcome of these investments
cannot be determined at this time; accordingly, no provision for any
asset impairment that may result, in the event the Registrant is not
successful in developing or selling these properties, has been made
in the Registrant's financial statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
The Registrant currently has no revenues but, as explained above, has
an accumulated deficit. Although it has recurring losses from
operations, the Registrant has increased its operating capital and
improved its financial condition and ability. Regarding its losses
from operations, the Registrant cannot assure that it will be able to
fully carry out its plans as budgeted without additional operating
capital. At March 31, 1997, the Registrant had working capital of
$1,812,154. This amount is a significant improvement in liquidity
and capital resources from its working capital position of $390,852
at December 31, 1996 and of $686,573 at September 30, 1996. In the
three months ending March 31, 1997, the Registrant's working capital
<PAGE> 4
has increased by $1,421,302 primarily because of the cash stock sales
of $1,868,250 in this quarter and the reduction of all remaining
short-term debt. During the same three month period, the
Registrant's cash increased from $347,505 to $1,730,124.
In the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Registrant reduced its
short-term debt position to $0 by paying off a $35,000 promissory
note. In the same quarter, the Registrant reduced its accrued
expenses and accounts payable. Accordingly, the Registrant's current
liabilities shrank from $81,534 at December 31, 1996 to $34,869 at
March 31, 1997. The Registrant has no long-term debt.
The Registrant has estimated that it will need minimal capital
resources of approximately $40,000-50,000 per month to meet its
estimated expenditures for fiscal 1997. In 1996, acting on
instructions from the Board, several key members of management, in
particular the CEO of the Registrant, met with experienced financial
and investment firms through out Europe and North America and
negotiated preliminary terms and arrangements for such capital fund
raising. During the second fiscal quarter of 1997, the Registrant
raised $1,871,250 in funds, primarily through the private placement
of shares and warrants. The Registrant is continuing with the
previously described negotiations and various alternatives to raise
capital.
The Board of Directors reasonably believes that the Registrant is
able to engage in nearly any size operation or scope of mining
activity depending on the circumstances and merits of each proposed
operation or mining activity. Accordingly, the Board has not limited
the size of operation or scope of project which it believes is
reasonable for management to consider in achieving the Registrant's
business plan. Therefore, management has been authorized to
consider and review numerous proposals and, upon satisfactory
assessment, to then make a specific determination as to an estimated
range of funding amounts that each such proposal reasonably might
require.
Inasmuch as the Registrant has not yet determined in detail the
specifications of the project, operation or mining activity that it
intends to undertake, management is not able at this time to provide
a detailed listing or exact range of operation costs, including
increases in general and administrative expense, if any. However,
the Registrant plans to fund any increases in general and
administrative expense principally from joint venture revenues or
funds it may receive or savings it may realize through corporate
restructuring or business combination arrangements. Funds required
to finance the Registrant's exploration and development of mineral
properties are expected to come primarily from the contributions of
its joint venture participants, and from the funds generated from
such joint ventures and other lease or royalty arrangements.
<PAGE> 5
The Registrant consistently has made full and timely payment of its
expenses, in particular to the various governmental payees it
interacts with, and has met its obligations to the entities which
provide its personnel, office space, and equipment needs. The
Registrant currently is seeking alternate sources of working capital
sufficient to increase the funding of additional general and
administrative expenses that may become necessary as the
Registrant's business plan develops, and to continue meeting its
ongoing payment obligations for its leases to governmental entities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Six Months Ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997,
respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased from $414,189 during
the first and second quarters of fiscal 1996 to $570,271 during the
first and second quarters of fiscal 1997. This increase is
principally due to an increase in the cost of fundraising associated
with the Registrant's recent private placements of its stock. Also,
during the second quarter of fiscal 1997 the Registrant wrote off
$238,887 of mineral properties associated with its investment in the
Bunker Hill Mine. As a result, during the six months of fiscal 1996
compared to the first six months of fiscal 1997, the Registrant's net
loss increased from $651,929 to $1,071,768, while the net loss per
share increased from $0.08 to $0.10 per share.
The Registrant is unable to fully determine the impact of future
transactions on its operating capital. Hence, the Registrant has
determined not to incur and does not have any commitments or plans
for material capital expenditures during the remainder of its current
fiscal year for which it does not have a reasonably available source
of payment. It is uncertain what effect this decision may have with
respect to restricting capital expenditures.
On the one hand, if the Registrant were to continue such restriction,
the likely effect might be adverse to the preservation of its assets
and capital base, thereby narrowing the scope of plans for future
operations and constricting liquidity. On the other hand, if the
Registrant were to discontinue such restriction without an increase
in sustained cash flow, the likely effect of that might be an
increase in accumulated deficits which could be adverse to the
Registrant's financial condition with respect to liabilities and
stockholders' equity. Therefore, while the Registrant continues to
seek a joint venture participant and additional sources of capital
for financing operations during the remainder of its current fiscal
year, the Registrant will continue to carefully monitor its capital
expenditures.

ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Royal Silver
Mines, Inc. (a development stage company) as of March 31, 1997, and
the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, and for the
period from February 17, 1994 (inception) through March 31, 1997.
The review was conducted in a accordance with Statements on Standards
for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these
financial statements is the representation of the management of Royal
Silver Mines, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially
less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The balance sheet for the year ended September 30, 1996 was audited
by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our report
dated December 13, 1996. We have not performed any auditing
procedures since that date.

ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
March 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Royal Silver Mines, Inc. (Royal) was incorporated in April of 1969
under the laws of the State of Utah primarily for the purpose of
acquiring and developing mineral properties. Royal conducts its
business as a "junior" natural resource company, meaning that it
intends to receive income from property sales or joint ventures with
larger companies.
Celebration Mining Company (Celebration), currently a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Royal was incorporated for the purpose of identifying,
acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties. Celebration
was organized on February 17, 1994 as a Washington Corporation.
Celebration has not yet realized any revenues from its planned
operations.
On August 8, 1995, Royal and Celebration completed an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization whereby the Company issued 4,143,750 shares of
its common stock and 1,455,000 warrants in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock of Celebration. Pursuant to the
reorganization the name of the Company was changed to Royal Silver
Mines, Inc. Immediately prior to the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, the Company had 2,375,463 common shares issued and
outstanding.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase by Celebration of
Royal, because the shareholders of Celebration control the company
after the acquisition. Therefore, Celebration is treated as the
acquiring entity. There was no adjustment to the carrying value of
the assets or liabilities of Royal in the exchange as the market
value approximated the net carrying value. Royal is the acquiring
entity for legal purposes and Celebration is the surviving entity for
accounting purposes.
The $4,633,920 cost of mineral properties included in the
accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 is related to
exploration properties. The Company has not determined whether the
exploration properties contain ore reserves that are economically
recoverable. The ultimate realization of the Company's investment in
exploration properties 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.
The ultimate realization of the Company's investment in exploration
properties cannot be determined at this time and, 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 financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
March 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Continued)
The Company is actively seeking additional capital and management
believes the properties can ultimately be sold or developed to enable
the Company to continue its operations. However, there are inherent
uncertainties in mining operations and management cannot provide
assurances that it will be successful in this endeavor. Furthermore,
the Company is in the development stage as it has not realized any
significant revenues from its planned operations.
NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year The weighted
average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of
shares outstanding and weighing them by the amount of time they were
outstanding.
The outstanding warrants were not included in the computation of loss
per share because the exercise price of the outstanding warrants is
higher than the market price of the stock, thereby causing the
warrants to be antidilutive.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Mineral Properties
Costs of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties are
capitalized by project area. Costs to maintain the mineral rights
and leases are expensed as incurred. When a property reaches the
production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized,
using the units of production method on the basis of periodic
estimates of ore reserves. Mineral properties are periodically
assessed for impairment of value and any losses are charged to
operations at the time of impairment.
Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to
operations. The Company charges to operations the allocable portion
of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized
costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of
claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
March 31, 1997
NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts in primarily one commercial
bank in Spokane, Washington. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. One of the
Company's cash accounts is a business checking account with a balance
of $229,059 at March 31, 1997 which exceeds the FDIC threshold by
$129,059. The remaining cash account is a "liquid asset account" in
the amount of $1,500,000, which is invested in a portfolio of U.S.
Treasury notes/bonds.
Provision For Taxes
At March 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $3,800,000 that may be offset against future taxable
income through 2011. No tax benefit has been reported in the
financial statements as the Company believes there is a 50% or
greater chance the net operating loss carryforwards will expire
unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating
loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same
amount.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new
statement titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets."
This new standard is effective for years beginning after December 15,
1995. In complying with this standard, the Company has reviewed its
long-lived assets at March 31, 1997 and concluded that no events or
changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the
carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company
does not believe that adoption of the new standard will have a
material effect on its financial statements in the current fiscal
year.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
new statement titled "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation " (FAS
123). The new statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. FAS 123 encourages, but does not require,
companies to recognize compensation expense for grants of stock,
stock options, and other equity instruments to employees based on
fair value. Companies that do not adopt the fair value accounting
rules must disclose the impact of adopting the new method in the
notes to the financial statements. Transactions in equity
instruments with non-employees for goods or services must be
accounted for on the fair value method. The Company currently
intends to adopt the fair value accounting prescribed by FAS 123.
However, the Company intends to continue its analysis of FAS 123 to
determine its ultimate effect in the future.

NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTIES
Utah Mining Property Joint Venture
In October 1994, Celebration and United Silver Mine, Inc., (United )
entered into a joint venture agreement, whereby Celebration could
acquire up to an 80% interest in a mining property located in the
State of Utah. Under the terms of the agreement, United contributed
real properties for an initial 75% interest in the joint venture, and
Celebration was to remove all liens associated with the real
properties by paying $175,000 to a bank which was the primary lien
holder for its initial 25% interest in the venture.
Celebration expended $175,000 to purchase the aforementioned
promissory note. The property was auctioned in a public auction in
May, 1995 and by virtue of Celebration's first position lien,
Celebration was able to successfully bid the full amount of the
underlying promissory note. Although additional expenditures have
been made on the property through March 31, 1997, no further funds
toward the joint venture have been expended by Celebration, which
owns an undivided 25% interest in the property.
Shoshone County Idaho Mineral Lease (Crescent Mine)
In February 1995, Celebration entered into an agreement to acquire a
fifty-year renewable mineral lease on a property in Shoshone County,
Idaho. The mining property consists of twelve patented claims and
associated Idaho state leases. In connection with this lease,
Celebration paid $50,000 and issued 175,000 shares of common stock.
In addition, 10,000 shares were issued to a new director for his
assistance in obtaining this lease. Celebration subsequently paid
$950,000 for the option of extending its lease for an additional
forty-nine years. When, and if, the property achieves gross sales of
$40,000,000, Celebration will be obligated to pay an additional 0.5%
royalty on future sales. Furthermore, beginning after September 1,
1995, and at such time as the average price of silver has reached
$6.00 per ounce for a 30-day period, Celebration is obligated to
spend not less than $2,000,000 during the subsequent 36 months to
de-water and repair the mine. Thereafter, Celebration will be
required to maintain the mine in a condition to allow it to be put
into production within sixty days. There are certain claims by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the County on this property
for which the lessor is obligated to pay. In the event these claims
are not satisfactorily resolved, they may effect Celebration's rights
to the property.

NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued)
Australian Mineral Property Joint Venture
In March 1995, Celebration entered into a joint venture agreement
with an Australian company for exploration of a certain mineral
property in Australia. Under the original terms of the joint venture
agreement, Celebration acquired a 10% interest by paying $100,000 in
April 1995. No additional funds where paid or required to be paid
subsequent to the initial payment.
Washington and Idaho Mineral Properties
During the year ended September 30, 1995, Celebration purchased
through the issuance of 800,000 shares of its common stock, various
mineral properties located in the States of Washington and Idaho.
The mineral properties were recorded at the fair market value of the
shares paid on the date of issuance ranging from $3.13 to $3.25 per
share for a total purchase price of $2,538,126.
In May 1996, the Company sold back the Frisco Standard Silver Mine to
its original seller in exchange for the same price (35,000 shares of
Royal stock) received by the seller when the mine was purchased. The
shares received were canceled and no gain or loss was recorded on the
transaction.
The Company's proposed future mining activities will be subject to
laws and regulations controlling not only the exploration and mining
of mineral properties, but also the effect of such activities on the
environment. Compliance with such laws and regulations may
necessitate additional capital outlays, affect the economics of a
project, and cause changes or delays in the Company's activities.
Argentina Properties
On February 10, 1997 the Company announced that it has negotiated an
option to buy 12 different potential mine sites in Argentina. Under
the agreement, the Company can buy the properties on or before March
1, 2000, by paying $4,500,000 in cash or $5,500,000 in Royal Silver
common stock, subject to certain conditions including the Seller's
retention of a 1.95% net smelter royalty on the mines. To date, none
of the options have been exercised.
Mexico Properties
On January 20, 1997, the Company executed an agreement to acquire
four mining properties in Nayarit, Mexico. The agreement calls for a
purchase price of $5,000,000 to be paid at the rate of 10% of pre-tax
net profits from production. Under the agreement, the Company is
obligated to pay the properties' owner $50,000 per year or,
alternatively, to spend $250,000 on exploration and development
annually until the properties are brought into production or
forfeited.

improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements, maintenance and
repairs that do not increase the useful life of the assets are
expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is
determined using the straight-line method over the expected useful
lives of the assets of five years.
NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Deferred debt issuance costs and organization costs are recorded at
cost. Amortization of these intangible assets is determined using
the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the assets
as follows:

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
In January 1992, the shareholders of Royal approved a 1992 Stock
Option and Stock Award Plan under which up to ten percent of the

NOTE 12- OPTIONS WITH PLACER MINING CORPORATION
In April 1996, the Company entered into an option with Placer Mining
Corporation ("Placer") of Kellogg, Idaho whereby the Company could
acquire a joint venture interest in the Bunker Hill Mine, a
silver-lead-zinc mine in Shoshone County, Idaho. After issuing
100,000 shares valued at $1.50 per share and spending a
non-refundable $50,000 on this option, the Company elected to
re-negotiate this option agreement and entered into a second option
agreement with Placer on September 18, 1996.
In the second agreement, the Company paid $100,000 in September 1996
for the non-assignable option of acquiring a 100% interest in the
Bunker Hill Mine. In order to exercise this option, the Company must
issue 500,000 shares of its common stock to Placer by May 10, 1997
and pay Placer either $7,000,000 by that date or $4,000,000 by that
date and $3,500,000 by May 10, 1998. Under the terms of this
agreement, the Company will pay Placer a 2 3/4% net smelter return
royalty in perpetuity with stipulated annual advance minimum royalty
payments to Placer ranging from $100,000 (in 1999) to $250,000 (in
years 2002 through 2010). All advance minimum royalties paid are to
be credited against actual production royalties.
Subsequent to March 31, 1997, due to regional environmental concerns
and the prospect of related litigation, the Company concluded that it
would not exercise its option on the Bunker Hill Mine. Accordingly,
the $238,887 in option costs and related expenses toward the purchase
of this property have been written off in the quarter ended March 31,
1997.
NOTE 13 - STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT WITH CENTURION MINES CORPORATION
In September 1996, the Company executed an agreement with Centurion
Mines Corporation ("Centurion") whereby the Company acquired an
option from Centurion to purchase up to 800,000 shares of its common
stock held by Centurion for the exercise price of $1.75 per share
during the two-year period ending September 30, 1998. The cost of
this two-year stock purchase option was $50,000, which was paid by
the Company and charged to stockholders' equity (accumulated
deficit).
At March 31, 1997, no shares were acquired from Centurion under this
option agreement.
