Background Information

Leyshon is rapidly advancing the Zheng Guang gold zinc project to production
status and is aiming to jointly develop it as the first ever Sino Foreign owned
mine in the mineral rich province of Heilongjiang.

Leyshon's partner, the Qiqiha'er Brigade of the Heilongjiang Bureau of Geology
and Mineral Resources, one of the largest organizations of its kind in China, is
providing a range of services to the joint venture from its complement of 4,000
technical staff, drill rigs, laboratory and other technical facilities. This
valuable support is enabling the project to rapidly move ahead on an extremely
cost effective basis.

This year's drill programme is the largest to be undertaken in Heilongjiang in
recent years and comprises over 13,000 metres of diamond drilling and 16,000
metres of reverse circulation drilling and is following up the highly successful
21,000 metres of drilling undertaken in 2004 and 2005.

This year's programme is expected to increase the initial JORC compliant
inferred resource estimate reported in May of this year of 930,000 ounces gold,
64,000 tonnes zinc and 2.6 million ounces silver (equivalent to 1.2 million
ounces of gold based on 1 g/t gold = 1% zinc). The estimate has been made by
resource specialists Hellman and Schofield of Australia and is based on the
results from the 2004 and 2005 programmes.

Leyshon has completed its expenditure requirements to earn its 70% interest and
has recently entered into a 20 year agreement with Qiqiha'er Brigade for the
financing, development and mining of the project.

Leyshon has its main operating office in Beijing and is one of the very few
foreign mining companies with its Chairman, Managing Director and Chief
Operating Officer all based in China.
