    ROAD CONSTRUCTION COMMENCES AT ZHENG GUANG

    Leyshon Resources Limited ("Leyshon") (AIM & ASX: LRL) is pleased to advise that construction of the main access road at the Zheng Guang
gold project in Heilongjiang, northeast China has commenced. 

    The 8.6 kilometre road will be the main access route for the project and has been located to minimise disturbance to local villagers. It
will connect the project with the residential town of Heibaoshan and will include a fibre optic cable for broadband and other
telecommunication links.

    The road and associated services will cost RMB5.05 million (US$728,000). The contract for construction of the road has been let to the
Qiqiha'er QQHR Mineral Exploration and Development Institute, a division of the Company's joint venture partner. The construction is
expected to be completed within 90 days.
