ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         On December 7, 1999, Casmyn Corp., a Colorado corporation (the
"Company"), filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central
District of California, San Fernando Valley Division, Case No. SV99-23968-AG.
The Company is operating as debtor-in-possession.

         The Company's gold mining operations in Zimbabwe are owned by
separate subsidiary companies which are not a part of the Chapter 11 filing
and which are continuing to conduct business as usual.

         On January 17, 2000 and January 27, 2000, the Company filed Interim
Statement No. 1 and Operating Report No. 1 (as amended), respectively, for
the period from December 7, 1999 through December 31, 1999, with the Office
of the United States Trustee for the Central District of California. Copies
of Interim Statement No. 1 and Operating Report No. 1 (as amended), excluding
attachments and supporting schedules, are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1
and 99.2, respectively. The financial information included in these documents

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
