            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                                 June 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. 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.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Although  management believes that existing working capital and proceeds  from
recent sales of convertible debentures are sufficient to fund the finalization
of  revamp construction and the conclusion of start-up activities at  Calgary,
Registrant  is  currently pursuing additional funding  of  approximately  $2.5
million  to  (1)  provide increased storage capacity at Calgary,  (2)  provide
increased  working  capital  for ADA and Calgary  operations,  and  (3)  allow
exercise  of  the Yankee option in the fourth quarter of this year.   Positive
cash flow from Registrant's planned consolidated operations are anticipated to
be achieved in the 4th quarter of 1997.  The achievement of such positive cash
flow is dependent upon several factors including successful  commercialization
of   the  phosphate  purification  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

                                       5

evaluated to fund such requirements.  In March, April and June 1997,
Registrant issued $4,645,000 of convertible debentures and received net
proceeds of $4,298,000.

The Calgary facility is currently in the start-up phase for the production  of
purified   phosphate  products,  and  met  certain  technical  parameters   to
demonstrate  the  capability of a planned initial annual  production  rate  of
18,400  tons  of  product  in  late  May 1997.   Shake-down  of  various  unit
operations  is  continuing and routine production is expected to  be  achieved
during the third quarter of 1997.  Sales of products are keeping pace with the
current, less than routine, production.

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
next  quarter  of this year. Alabama Power Company is currently utilizing  the
first  commercial unit to abate particulate emissions during the  peak  summer
season.  Based  on  the  success of recent full-scale demonstrations,  several
other  utilities  have requested bids and ADA-ES expects  to  sign  additional
contracts this year. Contracts with the above mentioned companies are expected
to generate revenues of $3,000,000 in 1998.

Registrant  is  funding  the majority of cash costs  of  the  Venezuelan  gold
exploration  activities.  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 $1,041,000 for the first half
of  1997  as compared to a deficit of $1,041,000 for the same period in  1996.
Cash flows from investing activities included funding of a note receivable  of
$50,000,  capital  expenditures of $2,350,000, and payment in  excess  of  net
assets  associated with the ADA acquisition of $1,440,000.   Cash  flows  from
financing activities include proceeds from issuance of common stock of $42,000
and proceeds from convertible debentures of $4,695,000.

Results of Operations
Registrant  recognized sales totaling $235,000 for the 1st half of  1997  from
production  at  Calgary  and ADA.  No such amounts were  recognized  in  1996.
Registrant recognized $430,000 in revenue from the production and sale of gold
and  silver  from its royalty in the San Luis gold mine in the first  half  of
1996.   Production  from  the  mine  ended in  November  1996.   Other  income
increased  from $31,000 in the 1st half of 1996 to $91,000 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 legal action.

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

Interest  expense  recognized in 1997 includes a  $1,232,000  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.   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.
