The purpose of this report is to document inventory and value of certain items
at Fausett International in Osburn, Idaho. The documentation will describe
several categories including:

Loaders, trucks, drills, miscellaneous mining equipment, compressors, licensed
vehicles, electrical system inventory, mechanical parts inventory, valves, hoses
and fittings and Victraulic supplies.

                                 SURVEY METHODS

Separate surveys were conducted for each category indicated. Survey methods and
results are described specifically for each category.

This survey does not include real estate, buildings, signage, fencing, office
equipment, miscellaneous small tools and some equipment not available for
inspection during my three trips to the Osburn location.

The nine page equipment and inventory list as supplied by Fausett International
is attached and was used as guide for confirming the existence or non-existences
of certain articles, the condition and serial numbers where applicable and the
probable retain value. My report indicates that articles would be worth
approximately 30% less during a forced or "quick sale".

A recap of the probable values is shown on page two of this report. Copies of
notes and inventory are attached and numbered 1 through 9.

                                   DISCLAIMER

This survey and appraisal is not represented to be absolute. It is merely an
opinion of this evaluator based on descriptions and examinations of the articles
described. This evaluator will not be held responsible for damages or any claim
as a result of anyone's reliance upon the values and/or opinions contained in
this report.


                                                              Sincerely,
