ITEM  1:  BUSINESS
------------------

A.  General  Description  of  Business

Hiko Bell Mining & Oil Company ("registrant") is a Utah corporation organized in
1942  to  mine tungsten for the World War II strategic metals plan on an 80 acre
tract of patented land which the Company still owns, located in northwestern Box
Elder  County, Utah.  The principal business of the registrant is exploring for,
developing  and  producing  oil,  gas and minerals, including the acquisition of
leases,   farmouts,  mining  properties   or  other   valuable  mineral   lands.
Registrant's  current  portfolio  is more fully described in "ITEM 3" hereafter.

Registrant's source of the properties is state lease, federal oil and gas leases
and  fee  (patented)  lands,  principally  in  the  Rocky  Mountain  area.

Initial  development  of an oil and gas or mining prospect originates within the
geologic  department.  The  feasibility  of  acquiring  such lands is checked in
state  land offices, county court houses, with the Bureau of Land Management and
other governmental agencies.  Management then works up the economic viability of
the  project  with  an  Authority  for  Expenditure (AFE).  If the economics are
favorable  and  the  acreage  is  available,  a  review  is made of the costs of
acquisition,  of  geologic  and  geophysical  work,  the cost of the drilling or
exploration  work,  the  cost of completion of "putting into production" and the
current  and  future  market  conditions.  If  all  of  these varied factors are
favorable,  the  plan  is  then  approached  from  the standpoint of funding the
project.

All  of  the  above  operations  are conducted by registrant and require various
degrees of skill, knowledge and experience, combined with a high degree of group
effort  and  motivation.

B.  Competition

Registrant  operates in a highly competitive industry where success is dependent
upon the ability to generate excellent projects which are financially within the
limits and range of registrant, to move quickly and decisively and to obtain the
required  financing  and  follow  the  project  through  from  beginning to end.
Management  is  fortunate  in  having a highly motivated staff with more than 75
years  of  combined  industry  experience.

C.  Patents  and  Trademarks

Although  registrant  has  no  material patents or trademarks or concessions, it
does  have all of the required business licenses, bonds and permits necessary to
carry  out  its  various  functions.

D.  Environmental  Regulations

In  the course of the development of oil, gas or mining projects, the registrant
works  closely  with  all  of  the  appropriate governmental agencies which have

                                        2
<PAGE>
jurisdiction  on  lands  where development is to occur.  All guidelines are laid
down  by  these  agencies  and are adhered to in the regular course of business.

E.  Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales

All  Sales  are  domestic and are located within the western United States.  For
financial  information  regarding  this  geographic  area see ITEM 2 (B) of this
report.

F.  Number  of  Employees

The  number  of full time employees of registrant averaged three (3) during this
reporting  period.

G.  Business  Done  and  Intended  to  be  Done  by  Registrant

Registrant  is primarily in the oil, gas and mining business.  The Company works
up  and  develops oil and gas exploration projects for development.  Most of the
registrants  mining projects have been developed on company owned property.  Oil
and  gas exploration in the United States, onshore, has been at a low ebb during
the  past four years, due in part to the drastic decrease in oil and gas prices.
This  has  now  turned  around,  with oil recently maintaining a price of around
$28.50  per  barrel  from a low of $15.40 several years ago.  The price paid per
thousand  cubic  feet  of  natural  gas has risen to $3.50 per MCF in the Uintah
Basin.  This  price  increase  will  enable registrant to rework its Dirty Devil
22-27  well  and get it back into production, increasing cash flow.  The Company
is  working  on  an  Agreement to sell part of its working interest in the Dirty
Devil  22-27  for  funding  sufficient  to  pay  all of its share of the cost of
re-completing  the well and the additional four (4) wells that can be drilled on
the  lease.

Further  exploration  work will be done on the Company's placer gold claims, now
that  the  price  of  gold  has  risen  to  over  $300  per  ounce.

In  2001  Hiko Bell and officers of the Company are working on plans to increase
revenue  so  that  within  the next short period it will be eligible to assume a
position  on  the  National  Association of Securities Dealers list and become a
"Listed"  stock.

ITEM  2:  PROPERTIES
--------------------

A.  Mining  Properties

UTAH:  Box  Elder  County.  Registrant owns 80 acres of patented land located in
the  Grouse  Creek  Mountains  of  Northwestern  Utah in Box Elder County.  This
property  was  the  reason  for  the  founding  of Strategic Minerals, Inc., the
original name of the Company prior to the time when the name was changed to Hiko
Bell  Mining  &  Oil  Company.  The  Company  was founded in 1942.  The property
contains  potential  for  the  mining  of  the  metal  tungsten  in  the form of
Scheelite,  calcium  tungstate.  The  property  was  mined  during the period of

                                        3
<PAGE>

1942-1945  to  provide  this  strategic  metal  to  the  steel  industry for the
hardening  of  steel  for  armor plating and the war effort during World War II.
When  the  price  of tungsten fell after the end of the war, the mining for this
metal  practically  ceased in the United States.  As of this date management has
not  conducted  any  investigation  as  tot  he  economic  value  or  merits for
additional mining on this property.  It is also unclear as to what the remaining
ore  reserves  may  be.  This  problem  should  be  resolved  in  2002.

A  county  road  that  is  fairly  well  maintained  crosses this property in an
east-west  direction.  The  scenery  of  the area is magnificent.  The lands are
high  in  the mountains with broad, north-south trending valleys on the east and
on  the  west  side  of  the  range.

The  claims have hood accessibility.  In addition to the county road, Utah State
Highway  30  lies a few miles to the south, extending from the Nevada-Utah State
line on the west to Park Valley on the east, with easy access to U.S. Highway 80
which is a north-south main highway that ties Salt Lake City, Ogden and the main
cities  of  Idaho.  To  the  west  State  Highway 80 leads to Las Vegas, Nevada.

UTAH:  Uintah County.  Registrant owns 10 placer mining claims located along the
Green  River in northeastern Utah, 8 miles northeast of the town of Jensen.  The
claims  are  accessible year round by a gravel road that is maintained by Uintah
County.  The  gold  content  of the gravels range from .05 to .08 ounce per ton.
The  gravels  on the property have been calculated to contain 2.5 million ounces
of  gold  in  the  20 million cubic yards of material.  The ore also contains an
estimated  25  million  ounces  of  silver.  Engineering data indicates that the
average  value  of the ore, screened to a minus  " is $121.46 per ton, using the
price  of  gold  at  $380  per  ounce.  The  cost  of  mining, concentrating and
refining,  using that parameter, is estimated to be $32.25/ton.  This would give
the operation a net profit of $89.21/ton, before taxes.  Based on a 1500 ton per
day  operation,  utilizing  300  working  days  per year, annual pre-tax revenue
should  be  around  $40,000,000.  Estimated  plant  and  equipment  costs  are
$8,360,000.

Detailed technical studies and environmental plans will have to be conducted and
submitted  to the Bureau of Land Management, the state of Utah Geological Survey
and  other  appropriate  governmental  agencies  for  approval,  before  mining
operations  can  be undertaken.  The time frame for this work is estimated to be
one  year  and to cost about  $100,000 including federal and state environmental
bonding.

B.  Oil  &  Gas  Properties

UTAH:  Uintah County.  Registrant owns the Dirty Devil 22-27 gas well located in
northeastern  Uintah  County  in Section 27 of Township 9 South - Range 24 East,
Fifty  (50)  miles southeast of Vernal.  Natural gas reserves, based on 160 acre
well  spacing,  is  2.8  billion  cubic  feet  per location.  Hiko Bell has a 95
percent  working  interest  in  the  well.  The  in-place  reserves are normally
calculated at one-fourth of the on going natural gas price at the wellhead.  The
present net worth of those proven, recoverable gas reserves under the well, with
a price of $2.50 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) is calculated to be approximately
$500,000.  The  revenue  from this sale will make it possible to rework the well
and  place  it  back into production.  Questar Gas Company will purchase the gas
which  will  be  transported  by  Questar  Pipeline  Company.

                                        4
<PAGE>
UTAH:  Uintah  County.  Registrant  has  a three (3) percent working interest in
6,118.93  acres  in  the Eight Mile Flat oil field located in Township 9 South -
Range  18  East.  One  well  has  been  drilled  on  this block to date.  Inland
Production  Company  and Petroglyph Operating Company are producing oil from the
lower  Green  River  formation  using  a  secondary  recovery technique of water
flooding  in  the  adjoining  township  to  the  west.  This  area is one of the
"hottest"  plays in the Rocky Mountains.  The action should spread over into the
area  where  the  registrant's  interest lies.  Recoverable oil is about 100,000
barrels/well  primary  and  200,000  barrels  with  secondary  recovery.

UTAH:  Uintah  and  Duchesne  Counties.  Registrant  has overriding royalties in
four  (4)  producing  oil wells located in the Bluebell-Altamont oil field.  Two
wells  are  owned  by  Pennzoil  and  one  well is operated by Coastal Oil & Gas
Company.  The  fourth  well  is operated by Marales Resources, Inc., of Midland,
Texas.

ITEM  7:  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  &  ANALYSIS  OF  STATEMENT  OF  OPERATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No  significant  changes  in  the accounting procedures of the Company have been
made  during  the past year in registrant's methods of operations.  Registrant's
principal  source  of income was the Company's Dirty Devil 22-27 gas well.  Hiko
Bell  has  established  an Authority for Expenditure for repairing the well at a
cost  of  approximately  $100,000.  This  would include the bonding requirements
with  the  State  of  Utah  and Bureau of Land Management and also the cost of a
dehydrator  unit  and  a metering station that would connect with Questar's main
natural  gas  transmission  pipeline.  Management estimates the net revenue from
gas  sales  to  be  about  $20,000  per month after completion of the reworking.
Recoverable natural gas under this well has been calculated at 2.8 billion cubic
feet,  based  on  160  acre well spacing.  On 80 acre spacing there are four (4)
additional wells which can be drilled on registrant's 40 acre lease.  Registrant
has  a  95  percent  working  interest  in  the well and the lease.  Net revenue
interest  is  76  percent.
