1. Wetar Copper Project, Indonesia
Finders Resources Limited 72% and earning through expenditure
Background Information
At the Wetar Copper Project, Finders has previously announced Measured,
Indicated and Inferred Resources at a 0.5% copper cut-off grade, of 9.8 million
tonnes at 2.5% copper for 248,000 tonnes contained copper in two deposits, Kali
Kuning and Lerokis.
For further information on results previously reported and a full resource
statement please visit our website www.findersresources.com
Process Selection
Following a positive scoping study in June 2006, Finders commenced a two stage
feasibility study targeting up to 25,000 tonnes per annum of copper commencing
in 2009. Finders completed extensive evaluation of the production of a copper
concentrate followed by off-site hydrometallurgical processing to produce copper
cathode. Concurrently, positive results from bacterial leach test work
suggested that on-site production of copper cathode by heap leaching and SX/EW
was a viable alternative.
Further encouraging results this quarter led the Directors to select bacterial
heap leaching as the preferred process route. Overall leach copper recoveries
approach those achieved by concentrate production/hydrometallurgy but with
significantly lower capital and operating costs, and potentially shorter lead
time to production.
The Directors' preliminary estimates indicate a 40% reduction in both capital
(US$65M) and operating costs (US$0.50c/lb) for a heap leach with on site SX/EW
plant, compared to the previously announced Scoping Study base case involving
concentrate production and off-site hydrometallurgical production of copper
cathode.
Leach Test Work
Finders is conducting ongoing leach test work on Wetar ore samples (from both
the Kali Kuning and Lerokis deposits) using a variety of alternative leaching
media.
Preliminary results received from a second stage of bench scale leaching tests
using BioHeapTM proprietary bacterial strains on pulverized representative
samples from the Kali Kuning and Lerokis deposits have yielded copper recoveries
into solution of 84.4% and 80.2% respectively. These encouraging results are
being followed up with 5m column tests.
Separately, an ongoing program of 1 and 2m column tests at HRL laboratories in
Brisbane, using a range of leaching media, including synthetic ferric sulphate
and non proprietary bacteria, has yielded recoveries up to 71% for Kali Kuning
ore and demonstrated good mechanical stability and percolation for the columns.
An additional program of 2m columns has recently commenced at higher
temperatures which are similar to those expected in commercial heaps using both
Kali Kuning and Lerokis composite samples, and bacteria cultured from the Wetar
site; the program is planned to run for 90 days.
Trial Heaps and Pilot Plant
Design work has commenced for on site test heaps of sufficient scale to validate
the commercial production process, with construction to commence as soon as the
necessary permitting is complete.
Finders intend to replicate the full scale operations planned for the Kali
Kuning deposit by means of several staged 20-25,000t test heaps (to a maximum of
100,000t) and a 3-5 tonne per day pilot SX-EW plant to produce copper cathode
(Figure 1). The test heaps will allow Finders to optimise several key
parameters related to maximising copper recovery from the planned commercial
operation.
Feasibility Study Progress
The corporate target for the Wetar project remains the completion of a
definitive feasibility study for a 20-25,000 tonnes per annum copper cathode
operation at Wetar by mid 2008 and commercial production by 2009.
Finders' commitment to achieving the project milestones has been boosted by the
recent appointment of Grant Harding as Operations Manager. Mr. Harding, a
qualified extractive metallurgist, has over 25 years of extensive industry
experience in a range of roles incorporating copper leach operations,
commissioning and project development. His experience in Indonesia includes
positions with Avocet Mining, Straits Resources and Newcrest.
Pit Design
Revised pit optimisation studies by AMDAD of Brisbane were untaken to assess
constant metal and constant mining options for the development of the Wetar
Copper project using the current Resource Estimate block model (Hellman &
Schofield Pty Ltd, February 2007). Initial estimates indicate a lower strip
ratio of 0.57, equivalent to approximately 1 million tonnes less waste over the
life of the mine from both the Lerokis and Kali Kuning deposits.
Extraction of the copper deposits at Kali Kuning will require a deepening of the
current pit floor by approximately 15m. Concurrently SRK Consulting (Perth) has
completed the first stage of the geotechnical study of the Kali Kuning pit. From
the initial study the following conclusion are made:
* Berm widths of 2m will confine most modelled failures.
* A conservative bench face angle of 60degrees with a limiting bench
stack height of 9m
* A Limiting Overall Slope Angle of 45.5degrees.
Plant Site Geotechnical Study
SRK Consulting (Perth) has completed an initial study of the foundation
conditions for the selected plant site location. The results confirm that
founding conditions are generally very good for light and moderate structures
from 0.5m below ground level using conventional footings or pad foundations.
Depending upon settlement sensitivity, heavy structures could also be
constructed using relatively shallow pad, pier or raft foundations in selected
locations.
Environmental
HLA-Envirosciences have completed water quality baseline studies and preliminary
studies assessing water management and flood risk assessments. The former gold
mining operations at Wetar have resulted in streams immediate to the old pits
having lower pH and higher Cu concentrations than undisturbed drainages in the
project area.
Social studies
PT ERM Indonesia has been appointed to assist with community development
planning.
Exploration
During the period initial reconnaissance mapping and stream sediment sampling
was undertaken in the tenements on the southern coast of Wetar Island. The main
focus of the exploration program is to delineate the extent of mineralisation
systems around known deposits which have similar styles of mineralisation to the
Kali Kuning and Lerokis deposits.
During the quarter activities focussed around the following prospects:
W6 (Ilwaki) Prospect: 8 drill holes (777m) by previous explorer with best result
of 14m @ 0.55g.t Au and 95g/t Ag
J91 (Batu Duri) Prospect: 9 drill holes (602.5m) by previous explorer with best
results of 10m @ 4.5% Cu.
Observed mineralization, outside of the drilled prospect areas, mostly occurs as
limonite-hematite fracture fill in the dacitic tuffs or andesite rock units with
base metal veins observed adjacent to the W6 prospect area, consisting of
quartz-pyrite-galena veins within silicified andesites. Gossanous barite
mineralization, similar in style to the mine feed of the former Billiton gold
operations was observed in float in streams adjacent to the known prospect
areas.
2. Ojolai Project, Indonesia
Finders Resources Limited 72% with option
Background Information
At the Ojolali Project, Finders has previously announced Inferred Resources at
the Jambi Oxide gold deposit (3.2 Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au, 6.9 g/t Ag at a 0.5 g/t Au
cut-off, and including mining dilution) and Inferred Resources at the Tambang
Prospect (7.9 Mt @ 167g/t Ag and 0.7 g/t Au at a 1 g/t Au equivalent cut-off
using drilling data from a previous explorer).
Finders' believes that the Ojolali project has strong potential to generate
short-term cash flow through open pit CIL/CIP development of the gold resource
at the Jambi Oxide gold deposit. Other prospects have outstanding potential for
the discovery of additional resources using modern geophysical techniques to
optimize drill targeting.

statement please visit our website www.findersresources.com
Jambi Oxide Gold Deposit: Metallurgical test work
Composite drill core samples were selected across a range of grades, depths and
oxidation states for test work at Independent Metallurgical Laboratory Pty (IML)
in Perth, Australia. The composite samples represent 90% of the domains used in
the current Inferred Resource model. Leach tests were conducted at a variety of
grind sizes to assess the suitability of heap leach and CIL/CIP process routes
for different ore types in the deposit.
Results from the test work are very encouraging (Appendix 1). Milled composite
samples representing CIP/CIL feed from representative of parts of the deposit
with full oxidation showed gold recoveries of around 90%. Around 70% silver
recovery was achieved from a silver-rich composite (15g/t Ag). Samples of
partially oxidised material averaged around 77% recovery for both gold and
silver. All samples were insensitive to the range of grind sizes tested,
suggesting that the Jambi deposit can be processed using relatively coarse grind
sizes and a simple grind circuit.
The 12mm crush size tests of fully oxidised material indicated average gold
recoveries of around 75%, although higher grade composites achieved better
recoveries of up to 81.5%. A partially oxidised composite sample gave lower
gold recovery of around 40%.
The test work indicates that acceptable gold recoveries are achievable at Jambi
and that there is scope to consider heap leach treatment of marginal ore.
Tambang Metallurgy
Metallurgical test work of core material from the Tambang deposit is underway at
G&T Metallurgical Services Ltd (Canada). Two composite samples are being tested
with differing silver/base metal ratios , namely a high silver (150 g/t Ag), low
base metal (0.7% combined) sample and high base metal (2.2% combined), moderate
silver (80 g/t Ag) sample.
The first stage of test work which assess lead and zinc rougher concentrate
production has resulted in approaximately 90% recovery of silver and gold into
low grade base metal concentrates.
Geophysical Surveys and Interpretation
The results of gradient array surveys within the tenement area have shown a
clear association between resistivity and chargeability and known mineralisation
within the project area. On this basis, two blocks were selected for follow-up
by means of offset dipole configurations, a technique which permits three
dimensional modelling. During the quarter over 40 line km of surveys was
completed.
In addition recently acquired airborne magnetics data for the project areas has
allowed an integrated assessment of mineralisation controls in the prospect area
for the first time (Figure 3.)
Known mineralisation is clearly within and at the margins of a pull-apart basin
bounded by blocks of more magnetic basalticbasement rocks. Priority prospects
such as Kencur, Lada and Tambang East are largely undrilled and show coherent
zones of high resistivity of similar magnitude to the drilled Tambang prospect.
Also highlighted is a one kilometer long zone of en echelon high resistivity
bands between the Chandra and B-1 prospects. Oxide mineralisation at the Jambi
deposit and the Cugah prospect (undrilled) has a typically subdued resistivity
footprint.
Prospect Evaluation
Metallurgical and Scout drilling
During the quarter, assay results were received from a further twelve drill
holes (1,616m). Three of the holes TBG09, 11 and 12 were drilled primarily to
recover fresh sample for metallurgical test work. The remainder were scout holes
to test geophysical targets from the gradient geophysics survey and assess the
prospect stratigraphy based on the sequence known at the Tambang prospect.
Collar locations are provided in Appendix 2.
Core recovery in the mineralised sections was highly variable due to broken
ground and Hole TBG13, which was targeted along strike of the current Inferred
resource at Tambang, was abandoned and failed to hit target depths.
Finders has decided to postpone further drilling until a reverse circulation
(RC) rig can be sourced (due late September). The rig will also be used for the
Jambi Oxide deposit drill-out and this is expected in the final quarter of 2007.
Significant assay results using a 1g/t Au equivalent+ cut-off are tabulated
below and further confirm the width and mineralogical nature of the Tambang vein
system.

prospect areas. Intial results are encouraging with, at
1. Kencur; best channel samples of 12m @ 2.98 g/t Au and 6m @ 3.99 g/t Au
in oxide material similar in character to the Jambi oxide gold deposit,
2. Jambi; a 225m wide soil anomaly with an average gold grade of 0.6g/t Au
located approximately 100m south of the current drilling area

the entity's activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect

respect of interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during
the reporting period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement

a mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and
conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.
3 Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is
not required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.
