             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                               September 30, 1997
                                        
(1)  General
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair representation of
the financial results for the interim periods shown.  Such statements should
be considered in conjunction with Registrant's 1996 Form 10-KSB, as amended.

(2)  Acquisition of ADA Environmental Solutions
On  April  30,  1997, Registrant acquired a 51% interest in ADA  Environmental
Solutions  LLC  ("ADA") through the purchase of an additional  46.2%  interest
from  ADA.   Registrant had previously purchased a 4.8%  interest  in  ADA  in
February 1997 by  payment to ADA of $400,000. The 46.2% interest was purchased
by  payment to ADA of $500,000 and a non-interest bearing promissory  note  in
the  amount of $1,600,000. As of September 30, 1997 the note has been  reduced
to  $895,000.  Registrant also obtained an option to acquire the remaining 49%
interest  in  ADA exercisable for a six month period commencing May  1,  1998.
The  option  is  exercisable by issuance of  1,715,600 shares of  Registrant's
common  stock  in  exchange for all the outstanding stock of ADA-ES,  Inc.,  a
Colorado corporation, whose only asset is the remaining 49% interest in ADA.

The  operating  agreement of ADA provides that a member's percentage  interest
for purposes of voting and ownership of assets is to be based on the ratio  of
its  capital  contributions to the total capital  contributions  in  ADA.   In
accordance  with  such  provisions, Registrant has an  83%  voting  and  asset
ownership  interest  in ADA, but a 51% interest in ADA's  net  profits/losses.
The  acquisition  has  been accounted for using the purchase  method  and  the
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of ADA from
April  30,  1997.   The  following  pro forma  amounts  show  the  results  of
operations  as if the above described acquisition had occurred on  January  1,
1997.  ADA had no significant operations for the 1st nine months of 1996.
               Revenues             $ 1,168,000
               Net loss            ($ 4,200,000)
               Loss per share      ($  .48)

                                        
         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management  believes  that existing working capital and proceeds  from  recent
sales of convertible debentures are sufficient to fund the conclusion of start-
up  activities  and  the  achievement of routine  production  at  the  Calgary
purified  phophate  plant. In October, Registrant sold  convertible  debenture
totaling  $2.1  million and exercised the option it held  to  restructure  the
Extraction Plant Liability by payment of $1.15 million (the "Yankee  Option").
The  remaining  funds  will  provide  working  capital  for  ADA  and  Calgary
operations.    Positive  cash  flow  from  Registrant's  planned  consolidated
operations are anticipated to be achieved in by the end of the 4th quarter  of
1997.   The  achievement of such positive cash flow is dependent upon  several
factors including successful commercialization of the phosphate purification
<PAGE>
process  in  Calgary  and ADA's flue gas conditioning technology,  success  in
marketing  those products, and the effect of competition, any of  which  could
delay or frustrate such achievement.  Additional funds may be required to meet
the   further  obligations  associated  with  the  ADA  acquisition,   further
exploration  work  on  the Cerro Gordo property, and any expanded  exploration
activities  in  Venezuela.   Private placements of common  stock,  convertible
debentures  and  bank borrowings may be evaluated to fund  such  requirements.
Since  the  beginning of 1997, Registrant has issued $8,785,000 of convertible
debentures and received net proceeds of $7,906,000.

The  Calgary  facility is currently at the end of the start-up phase  for  the
production  of purified phosphate products, and has demontrated the capability
of  producing well above the planned initial annual production rate of  18,400
tons  of  product.  Sales of products are increasing as market  acceptance  is
being achieved and product quality is improving.

ADA  has  received  purchase orders for the first three full-scale  commercial
applications of its proprietary air pollution control technology.  Mississippi
Power and Wisconsin Power and Light have ordered units to be installed in  the
November  and December of this year. Based on the success of recent full-scale
demonstrations,  several other utilities have requested bids.  Contracts  with
the   above   mentioned  companies  are  expected  to  generate  revenues   of
approximately $3,000,000 in 1998.

Registrant  is  funding  the majority of cash costs  of  the  Venezuelan  gold
exploration  activities which have been minor thus far  in  1997.   Activities
planned  on  the  existing contract and on those concessions  expected  to  be
acquired in the future can be met through existing working capital. Registrant
plans  to  raise  the additional capital, if and when needed, through  further
private  placements  of  stock, convertible debentures  and/or  joint  venture
arrangements, if appropriate.

Cash  flows from operations totaled a deficit of $2,637,000 for the first nine
months  of  1997 as compared to a deficit of $ 873,000 for the same period  in
1996.  Cash  flows  from  investing activities  included  funding  of  a  note
receivable  of  $50,000, capital expenditures of $2,857,000,  and  payment  in
excess of net assets associated with the ADA acquisition of $1,503,000.   Cash
flows from financing activities include proceeds from issuance of common stock
of $42,000 and proceeds from convertible debentures of $6,685,000.

Results of Operations
Registrant recognized sales totaling $826,000 for the 1st nine months of  1997
from  production at Calgary and ADA.  No such amounts were recognized in 1996.
Registrant recognized $632,000 in revenue from the production and sale of gold
and silver from its royalty in the San Luis gold mine in the first nine months
of  1996.   Production  from the mine ended in November  1996.   Other  income
increased from $73,000 in the 1st nine months of 1996 to $102,000 in the  same
period in 1997 and includes rental income, which increased slightly from  1996
due to increased charges to tenants, interest income earned from investment of
funds on hand, and $30,000 from settlement of a legal action.

Cost  of  goods  sold and operating expenses as well as selling,  general  and
administrative expenses increased significantly in the 1st nine months of 1997
as  compared  to  1996 as the result of addition of ADA, increased  staff  and
activities  related to the start-up of the Calgary facility  and  Registrant's
increased investor relations activity.

Interest  expense  recognized in 1997 includes a  $1,801,000  non-cash  charge
representing the discount from market price the holders of certain convertible
debentures  may  recognize  upon  conversion  of  their  debt  to  shares   of
Registrant's common stock.  An additional non-cash charge of  $768,000 will be
recognized  in  the  fourth  quarter  as  a  result  of  additional  sales  of
convertible  debentures.  Management of Registrant believes that the  proceeds
received  from  the  convertible  debentures  and  the  discount  offered   on
conversion  of  the  debt is a fair representation of  the  net  proceeds  the
Registrant would otherwise expect to receive from an equity offering of a like
number of shares after consideration of all associated commissions, costs  and
expenses.

As  a  result  of exercising the Yankee Option, Registrant will  recognize  an
extraordinary gain of $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 1997.
