  ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
  
  On December 16, 1996, Logan International Corp. (the "Company") completed the
  indirect acquisition of an outstanding loan to Enviropur Waste Refining and
  Technology, Inc. (the "Loan") from Arbatax International Inc. ("Arbatax") for
  $2,425,000.  The purchase price was paid out of Logan's cash reserves.  The
  Company subsequently sold the Loan to ICHOR Corporation ("ICHOR") on December
  17, 1996 in exchange for 2,500,000 common shares of ICHOR at an issue price of
  $0.40 per share and a secured promissory note in the amount of $1,425,000
  which, among other things, matures three years after the date of issuance and
  accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
  
  As at December 16, 1996, the Loan was in default with approximately $5.0
  million outstanding thereunder.  Certain assets of the borrower, consisting of
  a waste oil refining facility near Chicago, Illinois (the "Facility") which
  converts waste oil into re-refined lube oil and processes and disposes of oily
  waste waters, are scheduled to be sold at a court ordered auction.  ICHOR, as
  the indirect holder of the Loan, is entitled to the proceeds of such sale, up
  to the amount owing under the Loan, or alternatively, can bid for the Facility
  and set-off the purchase price against the outstanding amount of the Loan.
  
  As a result of these transactions, the Company now owns approximately 50.3% of
  the outstanding shares of common stock of ICHOR.  ICHOR is an environmental
  remediation company based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania whose shares of common
  stock are listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market.  ICHOR provides services
  relating to the remediation of facilities that have been contaminated by
  hazardous substances.  These services include contamination assessment,
  remediation design and engineering, decontamination activities, and health and
  safety services.  Michael J. Smith, Jimmy S.H. Lee and Leonard Petersen are
  directors and officers of the  Company and of ICHOR.  Jimmy S.H. Lee and
  Michael J. Smith are also directors and officers of Arbatax.  The terms of the
  above-mentioned transactions were approved by the disinterested directors of
  Arbatax, the Company and ICHOR, respectively.
  
  ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS. 
  
  On December 16, 1996, the Company completed the issuance of 4,172,082 shares
  of common stock of the Company to Arbatax at a price of $0.58 per share or an
  aggregate of $2,425,000.  Prior to such acquisition, Arbatax owned 3,300,695
  shares of common stock of the Company.  In addition, Arbatax controls Drummond
  Financial Corporation which owns all of the outstanding Preferred Stock,
  Series B of the Company.  As a result of the foregoing transaction, Arbatax
  now owns 7,472,777 shares of common stock of the Company, being approximately
  69.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of  common stock of the Company. 
  Michael J. Smith and Jimmy S.H. Lee, officers and directors of the Company,
  are also officers and directors of Arbatax.  The terms of the agreement were
  approved by the disinterested directors of Arbatax and the Company.
