Drill results confirm continuity, Zheng Guang North extended
Leyshon Resources Limited ("Leyshon") (AIM & ASX: LRL) is pleased to announce
the latest results from a major drill programme at the Zheng Guang gold zinc
project Heilongjiang, northeast China.
Three consecutive holes, ZGD201, ZGD207 and ZGD235 drilled on section 49425
north have intersected strong mineralisation with cumulative down hole
intersections of 68 metres, 41.5 metres and 56.5 metres, respectively,
demonstrating good continuity both down dip and between important sections in
the centre of the Main Ore Zone.
Results included:
* 32 metres at 3.1 g/t gold, 19.0 g/t silver and 1.6 % zinc in hole ZGD235,
* 24 metres at 1.7 g/t gold, 9.6 g/t silver and 0.9% zinc in ZGD201, and
* 12 metres at 4.1 g/t gold, 18.8 g/t silver and 2.6% zinc in hole ZGD207.
ZGD204 was drilled on the adjacent section 49275 north and as expected has
confirmed the good continuity between the sections in this area with 41 metres
of cumulative intercept. Results included 8 metres at 3.1 g/t gold, 9.2 g/t
silver and 0.8% zinc, and 14 metres at 2.0 g/t gold, 5.1 g/t silver and 0.9%
zinc.
Full results are presented in Table 1.
Further encouraging results were received from Reverse Circulation drilling at
the Zheng Guang North deposit with the mineralisation being intersected in all
directions.
The deposit located 750 metres to the north of the Main Ore Zone was discovered
in last year's exploration programme and is showing good potential to be an
immediate source of near-surface oxide material. The better intersections are
tabled below with detailed results in Table 2. Further results are awaited from
drilling in the south west and south east.

The diamond and reverse circulation drilling programmes continue to progress
well ahead of schedule and both programmes are likely to be extended to increase
the infill density in important areas and test additional targets.
The programmes have been designed to upgrade the bulk of the 1.21 million ounces
of gold, 3.72 million ounces of silver and 94,000 tonnes of zinc resource
estimate to the Measured and Indicated category ahead of project development in
2008 and to test exploration targets across the lease.
Managing Director Paul Atherley commented: "It is pleasing that the closely
spaced infill drilling programme is continuing to confirm the continuity of the
Main Ore Zone mineralisation. Zheng Guang North is beginning to shape up as an
additional source of near-surface, good grade oxide material. "

Background Information
Leyshon is fully engaged in China with its main operating office in Beijing, its
Chairman, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer all based in China and
with over 80% of employees who are either native Chinese or Mandarin speaking.
The Company is rapidly progressing 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 in 2008.
The project benefits from exceptional infrastructure as it is located within a
well established coal and copper mining community with rail, power, water and
mining contractor services available locally.
In March 2007, Hellman and Schofield Pty Ltd of Australia reported a JORC
compliant recoverable resource estimate of 1.21 million ounces of gold, 3.72
million ounces of silver and 94,000 tonnes of zinc of which 50% was reported in
the Measured and Indicated category.
The gold equivalent of this resource estimate is over 1.7 million ounces and the
discovery cost to date has been less than US$5 per ounce reflecting the lack of
modern exploration in a major gold belt which has produced over 20 million
ounces from mainly surface and alluvial methods.
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.

Notes on presentation of exploration results:
* Diamond drill intersections > 1m and greater than 0.6g/t gold
equivalence.
* Gold equivalence is based on 1 g/t gold = 1% Zn or 57 g/t Ag based on
potential net recoverable values based on gold price of US$650/oz, silver of
US$13/oz and Zinc US$3000/t and estimates of treatment charges and
recoveries
* RC holes based on >2m intersections and >0.3 g/t as used previously for
oxide ore
* No cutting of high values
* Gold analyses are aqua regia digest which has been shown to understate
gold grade compared to fire assay by approximately 10%
