Ojolali Reverse Circulation Drill Program Completion
Finders Resources Limited (ASX/AIM: FND) is pleased to report that it expects to
complete its current reverse circulation drilling program at the Ojolali
gold-silver project in Sumatra by Friday 25(th) June. The primary aim of the
program is to increase the resource of open-pittable oxide resources to a level
sufficient to support a viable start-up mining operation at Ojolali.
To date 36 holes totaling 3,550m have been completed, with a final hole
currently in progress.
This work has focused on:
1. Testing a previously unrecognized north-easterly trending vein system
within the known oxide gold/mineralisation at the Jambi prospect; and
2. Testing for high grade supergene enriched silver mineralisation within
the top 100m of a 600m strike length of the extensive Tambang gold-silver vein
system.
Visually, the drilling has supported the target geological concept in both
cases, including a vein zone of approximately 20m true width at Tambang (Fig 1).
The significance of the drilling will depend on establishing continuity of
potential ore grades between holes, as such it is not planned to release results
for either system until all assay results are received, approximately 2 weeks
for the Jambi drilling, and approximately 4 weeks for Tambang.

Background Information on Finders
Finders, listed on AIM and ASX, is the operator of the Wetar Copper Project
(94% and earning), and the Ojolali Gold-Silver Project (72% with option), both
located in Indonesia.
At the Wetar Project, as part of a definitive feasibility study, a demonstration
SX-EW plant with 5t per day copper cathode capacity was commissioned in February
2009 and is permitted to process 100,000t of ore from the Kali Kuning deposit.
The demonstration plant is producing LME Grade A copper cathode at planned
rates. The Company is targeting commercial production of 20-25,000 tonnes per
year cathode, subject to permitting and project funding.
At the Ojolali Project, Finders controls what it considers to be a major new
epithermal gold district, and has been undertaking an extensive exploration
program comprising detailed drilling to establish an initial mining resource,
supported by extensive surface geophysical and geochemical surveys. Finders
believe that the Ojolali project has strong potential to generate cash flow
through open pit CIL/CIP development of the gold resource at the Jambi Oxide
gold deposit.
