Notes To Unaudited Financial Statements 
October 31, 1996
 _________________________________________________________________

1.  The financial statements as of October 31, 1996 are unaudited
but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation.

2. The Company has a substantial investment in mineral properties. 
The existence of mineral reserves in commercial quantities on those
properties has not been determined except for the Sonrisa claims. 
Recovery of the investment is dependent on the discovery of
minerals in commercial quantities.

3.  As disclosed in the April 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996 Forms 10-K, the
U. S. Forest Service has determined a release of hazardous substances
covered under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act occurred at Siskon Mine, a property which the Company
once had under option.  On November 27, 1996, the Company received a
letter from the Forest Service inviting the submission by November
29, 1996 of an offer to settle the matter.  The Company has requested
an extension of time to January 15, 1997 to respond. 

4.  Reference is made to the Company's annual financial statements
for the year ended April 30, 1996 for a description of its
accounting policies which have continued without change.  Also,
refer to the footnotes to those financial statements for additional
details of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.  The details in those notes have not changed except as
a result of normal transactions in the interim.

   MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Production royalty income from the Sonrisa claims for the three
months and six months ended October 31, 1995 were $26,000 and $47,000
respectively.  During the same periods in 1996, income from this source
was zero and $1,000.  As disclosed previously, the Lessee of the Sonrisa
claims has announced the shut down of the Baltic leach pad.  Consequently,
future production royalties if any, from this source will be minimal.
During the three months ended October 31, 1996, the Iron Point prospect
was leased out for an advance minimum royalty of $17,000.                       

     Unallocated exploration and rental expenses declined $3,000 because
the Federal lease rentals on the Iron Point prospect were paid by the
lessee.  General and administrative expenses were comparable for the
quarter and six month periods.  Franchise taxes measured by income of
$1,600 were recorded during the 1995 period.
