9:17 14/02/2012 Price movement
Leyshon closed up 14% in Australia today at 24.5 cents ( about 16.5p at present exchange rate ) on volume of 766,000 shares.

In response to query from ASX exchange, company issued an announcement saying they knew no reason for price movement other than possible speculation about progress of negotiations on the Xinjiang thermal coal project.

Very muted reaction here so far. By Highgate55

With 15p a share in cash in the bank in Oz, isn't this one a no-brainer of a buy at around 13p ? By titleisttony
18:23 08/06/2011 Re: Where to now???
I agree, watcher2. I have been amazed at the dearth of postings since mid-February. I can’t believe it is mine just 5 posts back, from December!

Particularly so since I’ve had the urge this week to follow the example of so many others who bore the rest of us with their successes in timing. I remain very much a newbie as well as a gambler and I bought into these on the strength of the Sunday Times recommendation way back in early 2008, when they were, um, 19.6p! They were going to be my own “Poseidon” punt. (Oldies may remember that spectacular mine in the 60s that shot up overnight from something like 6d [2.5p] to over £4!!)?)

Fortunately for me, they sank to a little over 3p towards the end of that year and I bought in 7 times as many more as my original holding to average right down to about 4.25p.

Anyway.....in April of this year, I decided I ought to lock in some profits on five of my holdings with Price Lock plans, including Leyshon, and had no sooner done so than Taylor Wimpey spiked down from 41p to 39p, triggering a Sell, which I promptly bought back in 3 days later at 40.8p.

Then to my horror, Leyshon did the same, on a sudden glitch downwards from my Price Locked plan of 19.75p to 18p. My little exotic mining adventure of all things, sold. As they continued a slow decline, I delayed buying back in, especially as the spread penalises one so much at these levels – a ‘decision’ that has proved fortuitous after all, now that they’re just above the 14p mark. For the time being anyway.

Then within two more days, the same happened with my other mining punt, Polo Resources. A real spike for literally seconds, from around 5.92 through 5.51p before recovering a little. I was so miffed about that one especially, as the Polo BB is very active and almost all of the comments are positive for the company’s future with more than the usual doses of “This one will fly...”!! So I bought back in, adding a few more while I was at it, for 5.75p. They’re presently back to 5.54p!

Serious lessons learned from those three experiences in quick succession! Obviously I set the Plans’ Tolerance levels far too low at around 6%.

However, just for once, I’ve blown the handsome profit I made on LRL on a luxury trip across the Canadian Rockies and on to a cruise up the Alaskan Inside Passage in August! So I no longer have the funds yet to buy back in! But that doesn’t stop me from wishing all holders a speedy recovery in the SP. But please, not “to fly”!! Yet!

So, there you are: a very personal experience. But at least another post on such a quiet board. More comments please.

8:23 17/01/2011 Cobbetts advises on miner's return to AIM
Cobbetts advises on miner's return to AIM
17th January 2011

THE PUBLIC markets team at Cobbetts has advised on the readmission to AIM of ASX-listed Leyshon Resources Limited, a mining investment company.

Birmingham-based advisers worked with colleagues in Manchester and Leeds on the move by Chinese-focused Leyshon, just one month after the firm’s advisory role in the £89.1 million admission to AIM of gold exploration company Hummingbird Resources Plc.

As part of its readmission, Leyshon placed 30,435,130 new ordinary shares at AUS$0.23 with a number of high-profile Chinese institutional investors, raising AUS$7m. Leyshon has a market capitalisation of £45m.

Founded in 2003, Leyshon is an investing company specialising in Chinese mining projects with offices in Beijing, China, and West Perth, Australia. The company is planning to invest in high quality coal assets in Xinjiang and South West Mongolia, which will sell into the escalating demand for thermal and metallurgical coal across China over the next ten years.

Head of public markets Andrew Wright and partner Sefton Collett led the Cobbetts team. They were supported by associate Davey Brennan and solicitor Stephen Roberts. Mr Wright said: “Leyshon has an excellent track record of sound investments in the mining sector – particularly in China. Its readmission to AIM allows the company time to select and negotiate further investments in China and Mongolia, whilst ensuring its shareholders benefit from its AIM listing.”

Leyshon was originally admitted to AIM in 2005 and, in late 2009, it disposed of its principal asset for a total consideration of US$78 million – its interest in the Zheng Guang gold project in China. The company was then treated as an investing company under the AIM Rules, requiring it to effect a reverse takeover or implement its investing policy by 1 December 2010. Following this deadline, trading in the company’s shares would be suspended and subsequently cancelled if such a transaction was not completed.

Noting that any potential transaction was likely to take considerable time to complete and that continued suspension of its shares would not be beneficial to its shareholders, on 31 December 2010, Leyshon chose to voluntarily cancel its existing admission and simultaneously seek readmission to AIM as a new applicant. This allowed Leyshon a further twelve months under the AIM Rules to effect such a transaction.

IDG Capital Partners invests in high quality companies with long-term growth potential. It shares its in-depth understanding of the China market with investee companies.

As previously advised the Company is in active discussions for the acquisition of a large thermal coal project in eastern Xinjiang and in addition it is reviewing a number of thermal coal projects in Inner Mongolia. It is continuing the process of applying for exploration licences in south west Mongolia that have the potential to host coking coal.
Following the issue the Company will have cash of approximately A$54 million (including term deposit interest) and 246,525,724 ordinary fully paid shares on issue.
Managing Director Paul Atherley commented: "We have been working closely with the IDG team in Beijing for some time now and welcome them on board as a major shareholder. IDG has an impressive track record of investment in China and we look forward to their support in implementing our business plans."

Background

Leyshon was on the ground in 2003 when China opened its mining sector to foreign investment. It has been fully engaged in China since then and has its main operating office located in Beijing.

China's latest Five Year Plan emphasizes Inclusive Growth which entails the planned urbanization of a large number of Western China's rural population into second and third tier cities. This will result in significant increases in power consumption and infrastructure spending.

The Company is planning to invest in high quality coal assets in Xinjiang and South West Mongolia which will sell into the escalating demand for thermal and metallurgical coal across China over the next ten years.

11:28 31/12/2010 Yay!! and now a Happier New Year!
Far fewer profit-takers than I expected. Just six sellers as I post this.

Lovely to see such a sudden jump now it’s back trading on AIM. My own amateurish enquiries in mid-December DID show it had been rising pretty well on the Australian Exchange, back to roundabout the 16p+ mark.

I had rather hoped for an expert précis of the past month’s events for we relative laymen on this rather inactive BB but I think I’ve just about understood most of it from DMOR!

Happy and (especially) prosperous New Year to y’all.

Wow, im aware that the intention was to undertake a delist and relist today on AIM to rebrand itself as an investment vehicle, but i did not expect such an impact on SP. 30% up on very low volume, and not a whisper of news - i must be missing something.

Todays rise has managed to push me back up to the highest profit value of my portfolio - ie pre 2008 crash. I never expected it woudl be Leyshon to take me there, most of the hard work has been done by coking coal - eg West Coal, and CDN. I guess Ley could take us into a new area of exploitation of coal in Mongolia etc.

Good luck all, and if the price holds i shall def be raising a glass to Ley tonight By cider boyz
6:32 23/12/2010 Leyshon plans £4.4m AIM comeback
Leyshon plans £4.4m AIM comeback

21/12/2010 Robert Tyerman

Paul Atherley is returning suspended Leyshon Resources to AIM with a £4.4 million placing at 14.4p as a mineral investment company. He is managing director of the company, which he headed as a China gold and silver play before disposing of its Zheng Guang gold project late last year.

Now based in West Perth, Western Australia, Leyshon, which will seek a market value of £35 million with the placing, to be handled by its nominated adviser and broker Seymour Pierce. The company had its shares suspended on 1 December, since it had not done a deal or implemented its investment policy for a year, though it has retained a quotation in Australia.

Now, Atherley, mining entrepreneur and former veteran of the British coal industry, is bringing Leyshon back as an investing company, whose 'broad strategy' is to obtain interests in 'high quality' mineral assets in China and countries bordering China, as well as Africa, South America, Australia and Canada. With such a wide field of choice, the company should be able to find something of interest, provided the terms are right and the sector remains in vogue, which would give the shares speculative interest for bold punters.
