Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

     On January 5, 2001, Dynatec  International,  Inc. (the "Company") dismissed
KPMG LLP  ("KPMG")  as its  principal  accountant  and on January  5, 2001,  the
Company retained Tanner & Co., Salt Lake City, Utah ("Tanner"), as its principal
accountant.

     The reports of KPMG on the consolidated financial statements of the Company
for the two fiscal  years ended  December  31, 1999 and 1998  contain no adverse
opinion or  disclaimer  of opinion and were not  qualified or modified as to any
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

     The  Company's  Board of Directors,  as of January 5, 2001,  has decided to
change the Company's  independent  accountants and appointed Tanner to audit the
books and  accounts of the Company for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2000.
The  Board  intends  to  seek  ratification  of its  decision  by the  Company's
shareholders at the next held annual meeting of shareholders.

     In connection  with the audits for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999
and 1998,  and the  subsequent  period  through  January 5, 2001,  there were no
disagreements  with KPMG on any matter of  accounting  principles  or practices,
financial  statement   disclosure,   or  auditing  scope  or  procedure,   which
disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused KPMG
to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial  statements for such
years.

     During  the  fiscal  years  ended  December  31,  1999  and  1998,  and the
subsequent  period through  January 5, 2001, KPMG has not advised the Company of
any  reportable  events (as defined in Item  304(a)(1)(iv)(B)  of Regulation S-B
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission).

     The  Company  has  provided  KPMG with a copy of this  Report  and,  at the
request of the Company,  KPMG has furnished a letter addressed to the Securities
and Exchange Commission, which is attached as an exhibit.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits

         (c)      Exhibits:

                  16.    Letter from KPMG LLP on change in principal accountant.

                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant  has duly  caused  this  report  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
