ITEM 2    Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Pursuant  to  a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated  October  14,
1996,  among  Mason  Oil  Company,  Inc.,  a  Utah  corporation  (the
"Registrant"),  Paul B. Ingram and John L. Naylor  (the  "Agreement")
the  Registrant  has  acquired all of the outstanding  stock  of  IAN
Holdings,  Inc.,  a  Cayman Islands corporation ("IAN  Holdings")  in
exchange for 6,000,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock.   IAN
Holdings  is  the  owner of all of the outstanding shares  of  Hemley
Exploration Pty. Ltd., an Australian corporation ("Hemley").   Hemley
is   the  beneficiary  of  certain  petroleum  exploration  licenses,
regarding  rights  to  certain petroleum  exploration  activities  in
Australia, identified as Petroleum Exploration Licenses Nos.  61  and
63  (the  "PELs"),  issued by the Australia Ministry  for  Mines  and
Energy,  subject to an 3% overriding royalty obligation  to  Paul  B.
Ingram  and  John  L.  Naylor.  The Registrant's Board  of  Directors
approved  all aspects of the transaction and specifically  determined
that  the consideration given in exchange for the IAN Holdings  stock
fairly and adequately reflected the value received.

The stock of IAN Holdings, and the ancillary beneficiary interests in
the  PELs,  were acquired by the Registrant from Paul B.  Ingram  and
John L. Naylor.  Mr. Ingram and Mr. Naylor are directors and officers
of  the  Registrant.  Because of this relationship, all  transactions
were  submitted  to  and  received approval by  the  independent  and
unrelated member of the Registrant's Board of Directors.

Subject  to receipt of the necessary financing, the Registrant  plans
to  pursue opportunities for petroleum exploration deriving from  the
acquisition of the PELs.  At present, officers of the Registrant  are
involved   in   negotiations  with  various  companies   engaged   in
exploration and exploitation of the petroleum reserves,  as  well  as
potential  petroleum  purchasers.   The  PELs  constitute  the   only
significant  assets  of  Hemley, and Hemley  has  not  conducted  any
significant operations with respect to the PELs or otherwise.
