                          (`Kryso' or `the Company')                           

                      Appointment of Technical Consultant                      

Kryso Resources plc (AIM: KYS), the gold exploration and development company
that is advancing its Pakrut gold project in Tajikistan through a bankable
feasibility study (BFS), is pleased to announce that it has appointed Gordon
Lewis as a technical consultant with responsibility for co-ordinating the
ongoing Pakrut project BFS.

Gordon commenced providing services to Kryso in late August and carried out a
site visit to Pakrut in early September in conjunction with the Beijing General
Research Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (BGRIMM), which has been appointed
to complete the BFS. Gordon will work closely with BGRIMM and with other
consultants to Kryso in order to optimise the BFS as it proceeds towards
completion.

Gordon, who is aged 61, has a track record of playing key technical roles in
the successful development of substantial gold mines. These mines have included
the Kelian gold mine in Indonesia for Rio Tinto plc; the Penjom and North Lanut
gold mines in Malaysia and Indonesia respectively for Avocet Mining plc; and
the Gedabek gold-copper mine in Azerbaijan for Anglo Asian Mining plc. Gordon
graduated from Melbourne University in 1971 as a Bachelor of Engineering and as
a Master of Engineering from McGill University in Canada in 1974. He is a
Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

Gordon Lewis, technical consultant to Kryso, comments:

`The Pakrut deposit and other gold deposits within Kryso's licence area
represent an excellent opportunity for development. In addition, the Tajik
government is supportive of the project and local residents are keen to see
progress.'

About the Pakrut Gold Project

The Pakrut gold project, of which Kryso has 100% ownership, is situated in
western Tajikistan approximately 112 km northeast of the capital city Dushanbe.

Pakrut has total JORC Code-compliant gold resources of 1,984,272 oz Au
(assuming a cut-off grade of 0.5g/t Au) and is located within the Tien Shan
gold belt, which extends from Uzbekistan into Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and
western China, and which hosts a number of multi-million ounce gold deposits.

Drilling at Pakrut has previously returned numerous exciting intersections,
including 123.7m at 6.14g/t Au, 42m at 11.17g/t Au and 50m at 5.67g/t Au.

A bankable feasibility study for the Pakrut project is currently being
undertaken by the Beijing General Research Institute of Mining & Metallurgy.
The bankable feasibility study is targeted for completion before the end of
2009. An internal prefeasibility study completed in 2008 envisaged a mining
operation at Pakrut producing in excess of 100,000oz Au per annum with cash
costs of approximately US$300/oz Au.
