PART 1
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Registrant was incorporated under the laws of the State of
California on July 12, 1922, under the name of California Copper
Corporation, as a holding company for the shares of its operating
company Engels Copper Mining Company which was incorporated under
the laws of the State of California on June 19, 1901. Engels
Copper Mining Company was merged into California Copper Corporation
on March 3, 1936, and the name of the merged company was changed to
California-Engels Mining Company. Exploration and development
commenced at the Engels Mine, Lights Creek Mining District, Plumas
County, California, upon organization of Engels Copper Mining
Company; but it was not until 1914 that milling facilities were
available and actual production of copper started. From 1914 until
operations were suspended due to the low price of copper in July,
1930, approximately 4,700,000 tons of ore were mined from the
Engels and Superior mines and milled producing 160,170,000 pounds
of copper and substantial values in gold and silver. Out of
profits of this operation, the Registrant retired a bond issue of
$500,000 and paid out more than $1,285,000 in dividends. During
the 1930's the mining and milling plant, Engelmine townsite and the
Indian Valley Railroad subsidiary were dismantled and sold.
Registrant's mining properties were continuously leased from
September, 1947, to March, 1951; from March, 1951, to December,
1959; from November, 1960, to October, 1979; from August, 1980, to
August, 1990; and from November, 1990, to April 1993. The lessee
from 1964 to 1993 was Placer Dome U.S. Inc., the U.S. Subsidiary of
Placer Dome Inc., Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The Mining Lease With
Option to Purchase, between the Registrant (Lessor) and Placer Dome
U.S. Inc. (Lessee) was terminated by Placer Dome U.S. Inc.
effective April 20, 1993. Registrant has received a substantial
amount of technical data on its mining properties and maintains a library on
the Plumas Copper Belt. Thousands of feet of drill core
from the Superior Mine, Sulphide Ridge and the Engels Mine are
stored at Crescent Mills, California. Registrant's mineral
deposits and prospects are not deemed economically attractive under
current conditions for the mining industry in California and the
United States, nor are they likely to be so in the foreseeable
future.
The Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan on Registrant's mining properties
was approved by the California Department of Forestry
and became effective July 2, 1999. The permitting process for this
project began in August, 1994 with the start of the archaeological
survey and the February, 1995 agreement with Shasta Land
Management Consultants to prepare the Plan.
The Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan is an assessment of
the timber inventory, conditions and potential of the entire
property broken down into units with similar growing conditions
within each unit. Its intent is to demonstrate a long-term
commitment to appropriately manage the resource. It functions as
a coordinated collection of individual Timber Harvest Plans and its
advantage is that, once approved, the paperwork necessary to
initiate individual timber harvests is minimal. Under the Plan the
Registrant is restricted in management options to those
silvicultural systems that produce uneven-aged stands of timber.
Uneven-aged management means the management of a specific forest
with the goal of establishing a well-stocked stand of various age
classes of trees scattered over the forest. It will permit the
periodic harvest of all size classes as individual or small groups
to realize yield. Over the long term, forest growth and yield will
be balanced. The Registrant will also have the advantage of
being able to time harvests for favorable market conditions. It will take a
number of years to fully implement the Plan.
After the effective date of the Non-Industrial Timber
Management Plan the Registrant filed a Notice of Timber Operations
for a helicopter harvest on its Green Ledge and Austrian Syndicate
parcels on Ward Creek pursuant to the Plan. The project harvested
377,520 board feet of timber and was completed on October 28, 1999.
Registrant made application to the California Tree Farm
Committee of the American Tree Farm System for approval of its
Engelmine Forest timber lands on Lights Creek as a tree farm. Its
Engelmine Forest was accepted as California Tree Farm No. 2611 on
June 17, 1999.
Registrant received approval on July 28, 2000 for a 103 acre
hand thinning project from the California Department of Forestry
pursuant to their California Forest Improvement Program. The
Department will reimburse 75% of the $48,670 cost to the Registrant
over the three year life of the agreement.
During the year Registrant sold 40 acres of land at 6000
Diamond Mountain Road for $75,000 cash. It also sold its 25.67
acre Genesee/Gruss parcel for $65,000 and its 79.08 acre Green
Ledge parcel and 184.20 acres of deeded mineral rights on Ward
Creek for $94,800 carrying back deeds of trust.
Registrant filed a Notice of Timber Operations pursuant to its
Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan on September 7th and December
15, 2000, for mechanical thinning and biomass projects on its
Engels and Smith parcels along Lights Creek. A Timber Harvest Plan
was filed for its Henry parcel on November 27, 2000. Mechanical
thinning began on the Engels parcel on December 11, 2000.
Registrant is subject to a State of California General
Industrial Activities Storm Water Permit. During the year,
pursuant to the Registrant's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan,
catch and evaporation basins and monthly water sampling records
were maintained.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
(a) Registrant is the fee owner of 36 patented lode mining
claims totaling 736 acres, plus 245.28 acres of other patented
lands at Engelmine, Lights Creek Mining District, Plumas County,
California. During the year Registrant sold 40 acres of land at
6000 Diamond Mountain Road within one mile of the above property
for $75,000 cash. None of the claims or patented lands are subject
to any encumbrance.
(b) Registrant is the fee owner of five patented lode mining
claims totaling 100 acres in the Genesee Mining District, Plumas
County, California. During the year Registrant sold 25.67 acres of
land for $65,000 and 79.08 acres of land and 184.20 acres of deeded
mineral rights for $94,800 in the Genesee Mining District carrying
back deeds of trust. None of the claims are subject to any
encumbrance.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S CAPITAL STOCK AND RELATED
SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
(a) Principal Markets.
Registrant's shares of Capital Stock are quoted on the Over-
the-Counter Market in the "pink sheets" which are published daily
by the Pink Sheets LLC under the symbol "CAEN".
The following table shows the high and low bid prices of
Registrant's Capital Shares in the Over-the-Counter Market for the
past two years:
High Bid Low Bid
2000 Market Price $.50 $ .125
1999 Market Price $.71875 $ .125
(b) Approximate number of holders of capital stock.
The approximate number of holders of record of Registrant's
Capital Stock as of March 5, 2001, is 913.
(c) The Registrant has never paid a dividend on its Capital
Stock because it has had an accumulated deficit since the merger in
1936. The Board of Directors of the Registrant is endeavoring to
earn income from the sale of timber so funds are available for
the maintenance of its mining properties and the implementation of its
Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan. It is not the intention
of the Registrant to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(a) Financial condition, changes in financial condition and
results of operations.
During the 30 years its mining properties were leased, the Board
of Directors of the Registrant endeavored to increase working
capital, total assets and shareholder's equity in the event that
its lessee, Placer Dome U.S. Inc., terminated its Mining Lease
With Option to Purchase agreement and return the mining properties
to the Registrant. This event occurred effective April 20, 1993.
Thus funds were available to begin preparation of the Non-Industrial Timber
Management Plan. Because timber revenues are
sporadic, in order to provide regular monthly income the President
of the Registrant, on January 1, 2000, transferred management of
the office building at 117 Crescent Street, Greenville, CA and its
related bookkeeping business to the Registrant. Changes in working
capital, total assets and shareholder's equity for the past five
years are summarized as follows:
Changes 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996
- ------------- ------- -------- -------- ------- -------
Working
Capital ($) 39,462 16,807 10,128 24,896 33,394
Total Assets 632,120 562,585 350,531 347,884 347,033
Shareholders Equity 456,738 377,914 347,259 344,684 346,983
The objective of the Board of Directors of the Registrant is to
earn income from the sale of timber so funds are available for the
maintenance of its mining properties and the implementation of its
Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan.
(b) Results of operations.
Registrant's principal sources of income are from the sale of
timber, sale of land, interest, dividends and sale of sand and
rock. There is no assurance that any of the sources of income will
continue at current rates into the future. The termination of the
Mining Lease with Option to Purchase agreement substantially
increased Registrant's property maintenance expenses.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of California-
Engels Mining Company (the Company) is presented to assist in
understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company's
management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These
accounting policies conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Nature of Activity
The Company's principal line of business is development of
mineral and timber properties. The principal revenue sources
currently consist of timber, land and rock sales and investment
income. The Company's properties are located in the western United
States.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts
and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from
these estimates.
Basis of Accounting
The Company's books are maintained on the accrual method of
accounting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a purchased maturity of
three months of less to be cash equivalents.

institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial
institution.

Mineral and Timber Lands
Mineral and timber lands and depreciable property are stated at book value
less accumulated depletion and depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using
the declining balance method over five to seven year lives. Timber depletion
is calculated based on units of production.
Comprehensive Income

Reporting Comprehensive Income, the Company reports any material components of
comprehensive income in its financial statements.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current years financial statement
presentation. Such reclassification had no effect on net equity or net
income.

NOTE 3 - MINING CLAIMS AND FEE LAND OWNED
At December 31, 2000, the Company was the owner of 36 patented
lode mining claims totaling 736 acres comprising the Engels and
Superior Mines and 245.28 acres of patented land at Engelmine,
Lights Creek Mining District, Plumas County, California. During
the year the Company sold 40 acres of patented land at 6000
Diamond Mountain Road within one mile of the above property for
$75,000 cash.
At December 31, 2000, the Company was the owner of five patented
lode mining claims totaling 100 acres on Ward Creek in the Genesee
Mining District, Plumas County, California. During the year the
Company sold 25.67 acres for $65,000 and 79.08 acres and 184.20
acres of deeded mineral rights for $94,800, both of which adjoin
the above property, carrying back deeds of trust.
NOTE 4 - VALUATION OF MINERAL LANDS - DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
The Mineral lands carried on the books at a value of $10,000
less depletion have a historical cost basis from June 19, 1901 of
$1,000,000. Beginning in 1913, different valuations were placed on
these lands by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Under
instructions of the Commissioner, the values of the land were
written up on the books to a high of $4,500,000 on February 23,
1928.
In 1934, because of depressed conditions, the mineral lands were
written down to $10,000 without any tax benefit. In the event of
a sale of these lands the recognized gain for tax purposes will be
substantially reduced or eliminated. Consequently a deferred tax
asset of approximately $340,000 has been offset by a
corresponding valuation allowance of approximately $340,000 due to
the unlikelihood of the sale of the property in the near future.
It is estimated that the current market value of the properties
meets or exceeds the $1,000,000 historical cost basis; however, due
to the length of time the Company has reported the land values at
the written down value of $10,000, a change to the cost method has
not been deemed appropriate for reporting purposes.

NOTE 6 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the investment securities
portfolio is comprised of items classified as available-for-sale
and held-to-maturity. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 115, the available-for-sale securities are reported as an asset
at their fair market value with the unrealized gain or loss
excluded from earnings and reported as a component of
comprehensive income. The held-to-maturity securities are
stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts to maturity. Realized gains and losses are
determined using specific identification of securities sold.
The following reflect the estimated fair values of investment
securities and amortized cost held at December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998. Fair
