MOTHER LODE GOLD MINES CONSOLIDATED
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001

1.	 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10KSB for the
year ended December 31, 2000.

Effective January 1, 2001, the company has ceased to be a development company
since the sole activity is identification and exploration of properties that
the Company believes have the potential for economic recovery of minerals,
especially gold. In order to develop the property into an economic mining
operation, the Company will form a joint venture for that specific property.

2.	POTENTIAL MINING PROPERTIES
A.	The Company currently has property rights only in El Dorado County on
approximately 600 acres in the "Big Canyon" mining area in El Dorado
County, California.

	1.Big Canyon Mining and Cattle Corporation Property. The lease, with an
option to purchase for surface and mineral rights on 584.07 acres, made
effective July 1, 1996 was amended on January 1, 2001.

Minimum monthly payments are based on the price of gold, as follows:
	Gold price less than $375 per ounce	$100 per month
	Gold price between $375 and $425 per ounce	$200 per month
	Gold price between $425 and $475 per ounce	$300 per month
	Gold price between $475 and $525 per ounce	$400 per month
	Gold price between $525 and $600 per ounce	$500 per month
	Gold price more than $600 per ounce	$1,000 per month

Once Development and/or Exploration commences, the minimum monthly payment
increases to $1,500 per month through year ten of the Agreement, with annual
increases based on the CPI (W) for the San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitan
Area; commencing with year 11 until expiration of the Agreement, the minimum
rent is $2,000 per month with annual increases based on the CPI (W) for the
San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitan Area.

Once Mining has commenced, the minimum monthly payment is $3,000 per month
plus a Production Royalty based on gold grade and Net Value:

	Average Gold Grade	Percentage of Net
	Mined in ore block	Value to Lessor
	0.00 - 0.0599	1.50%
	0.06 - 0.0999	2.00%
	0.10 - 0.1999	2.50%
	0.20 - 0.4999	3.25%
	0.50 - 0.9999	4.25%

Company, totaling about 20 acres, are located in an area open to mineral entry
under the General Mining Law of 1972.

the Big Canyon property is unchanged, the minimum payments are as follows:

Directors' Stock Option Plan). The stock option plan of Northern Mines Inc., a
Company subsidiary, expired March 1, 2000.

The Company options are valued at the amount of the salary or other amounts
owed, and are recorded in these amounts as paid-in capital, with offsets to
expense, or accounts payable as appropriate. As of the date of this Form 10-
QSB, they are summarized as follows:

		Total						140,000	  60,000
