Leyshon Resources declares that the recently appointed management team at Pacific Asia Petroleum (PAPL), which Leyshon acquired in July, has commenced drilling at the 708 sq km Zijinshan block located on the Eastern flank of the prolific Ordos Basin, China's second largest and one of the world's major gas producing basins.

The new management team, which successfully drilled and appraised the recent multi-Tcf gas discoveries on the adjacent Sanjiaobei and Linxing blocks, has designed an initial three well programme to test for gas in similar formations over a 600 metre interval to a depth of approx. 2.4 kms.
