Leyshon Progresses With Zijinshan Gas Project

Leyshon Resources’s has wholly owned subsidiary Pacific Asia Petroleum Limited (PAPL) has commenced drilling well ZJS7, part of the Zijinshan Gas Project, located on the eastern fringe of the prolific Ordos Gas Basin in central China.

Torrential rain has delayed the mobilization of the rig for over two weeks.

The well has a design depth of 2,300 metres and is targeting the same potential pay zones as those intersected in well ZJS5.

Well ZJS7 is the first of three wells to be drilled as part of this year's accelerated exploration and appraisal programme. A further three wells are planned to be drilled based on favourable results from both drilling and testing, and on partner approval. All wells are expected to be flow tested in the event they intersect zones that warrant testing.

The programme overall will constitute drilling of eight wells.
