           Item 1.    Security and Issuer.

           This Statement constitutes Amendment No. 9 to the Statement on
Schedule 13D, as previously amended (the "Schedule 13D"), filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, by Leucadia National Corporation
("Leucadia") with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"), of MK Resources Company (formerly MK Gold Company)
("MK Resources"). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

           Item 4.    Purpose of the Transaction.
           
           On April 26, 2005, Leucadia sent a letter (the "Letter") to the Board
of Directors of MK Resources relating to a potential merger in which
stockholders of MK Resources would receive 0.0266 common shares of Leucadia in
exchange for each share of Common Stock. A copy of the Letter is attached hereto
as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

           This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of
securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would
be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of
any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means
of a proxy statement/prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

           Any offer will only be made through a proxy statement/prospectus,
which would form part of a registration statement to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). MK Resources shareholders are
urged to review carefully the registration statement and the proxy
statement/prospectus included therein, and other documents relating to the
merger that will be filed with the SEC when they become available because these
documents will contain important information relating to the merger. You may
obtain a free copy of these documents after they have been filed with the SEC,
and other documents filed by Leucadia with the SEC, at the SEC's Web site at
www.sec.gov. Once the registration statement, as well as any other documents
incorporated by reference therein have been filed with the SEC, you will also be
able to inspect and copy these documents at the public reference room maintained
by the SEC at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20549. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY
READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BEFORE MAKING A
DECISION CONCERNING LEUCADIA'S PROPOSED OFFER.

           Item 7.    Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
           
           1. Letter dated April 26, 2005, from Leucadia National Corporation to
the Board of Directors of MK Resources Company.

I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.
