Demonstration Plant Update
The Demonstration Plant has now produced approximately 2,253 tonnes of LME grade
A copper cathode since 23rd February 2009 and the last nine months have seen
production at an average of 4.5 tonnes per day. Results are in line with the
modelled slower leaching rates beyond the 60% Cu recovery level, as a
consequence of no new ore having been stacked on Heaps 1-3 since early 2009.

and weight reconciliations
During the quarter, a number of samples were taken from each of the heaps to
determine the residual copper mineralogy in the heaps. Residual copper species
in the heaps are dominated by covellite. This indicates that precursor
chalcopyrite has successfully been leached during the trial phase providing
encouragement for higher terminal copper recoveries than previously modelled.
Covellite appears to leach at slower rates than the other leachable copper
species and cumulative leached copper from the test heaps has now reduced to
approximately 25t per week commensurate with the recovery curve predictions.
This trend will result in below nameplate cathode production until heaps are
replenished with fresh ore material. To increase surface area and enhance
leaching Heap 4 has now been restacked.

Project Development
Stage 1 (brownfields expansion of the demonstration plant to 7,000 tpa cathode)
During the Quarter, a revised capital cost estimate for the expansion of the
existing demonstration plant was completed by Neubau Pty Ltd. Compared with
Feasibility Study assumptions, the current Stage 1 scope increases production
capacity by 40% and includes infrastructure previously incorporated in Stage 2.
The capital cost estimate is approximately US$25 million plus contingencies and
accuracy provisions:
=----------------------------------------------------------

Utilities And Reagents 0.8
Infrastructure 0.7
Indirect including EPCM 3.9
Others including First Fills 1.7
=----------------------------------------------------------
Total before contingencies 24.3
=----------------------------------------------------------
The company is now in the final phase of selecting contractors and suppliers for
the Stage 1 construction following completion of design and various tenders and
site visits.
Long lead items have been identified and a selective ordering of key components
has commenced such that when the Stage 1 project is committed to development
these items do not impair the project delivery schedule. Orders have been placed
for rectifier and harmonic protection systems plus spares with RapidPower of the
USA who also provided the Demonstration Plant unit which has worked well to
date. Expected delivery time to Wetar is 7- 9 months.
Stage 2 (Re-location of the Whim Creek plant and expansion to 23,000 tpa
cathode)
Design work has continued based on installing the ex-Whim Creek plant which is
currently packed in containers in Western Australia. Final documentation
regarding the import of the equipment is targeted before the end of 2010, and
mobilisation is expected to commence, sea conditions permitting, in Q1 2011.
Fig 3: Engineering design CAD view of re-located Whim Creek plant
Finders has exercised an option to purchase the Whim Creek 400tph mobile crushed
ore to leach-pad stacker and agglomerator for A$200,000 from Venturex Pilbara
Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Venturex Resources Ltd. The equipment was designed and
supplied by Australian Conveyor Engineering Pty Ltd 4 - 5 years ago. The
capacity of these units matches well with throughput requirements for the Wetar
Stage 2 development. These units will be dissembled and prepared for inclusion
with the shipping of the Whim Creek SXEW plant
Refurbishment, including modifying the electrics to Indonesian requirements, is
necessary and discussions are in progress with an Indonesian group to oversee
repairs along with other parts of the Whim Creek plant.
The Company is aiming to provide a revised capital estimate for Stage 2 in
December 2010.
Permitting
Final documentation in support of the Mining Permit application is complete;
issue of the permit has been slower than estimated and possibly will be delayed
further until after local elections which are being held in November.
Initiatives regarding land status are being undertaken on three fronts:
documentation of assets of the former mining area in support of local
government rights; progressing forestry permits to utilise conversion forest
areas; and the lodgement of a new spatial plan for Maluku, which pending
Ministerial approval will reclassify conversion forest in the project area to
open ground.
Background Information on the Wetar Copper Project
The Wetar Copper Project comprises two high grade deposits, Kali Kuning and
Lerokis, which are located within 3km from the coast and suitable for open pit
mining.
The project encompasses the old Lerokis gold mine (operated from 1989 to 1997)
and benefits from having existing infrastructure in place, particularly a wharf,
camp and roads and partially pre-stripped copper ore bodies.
Since February 2009, Finders has operated a 5 tonne per day SX-EW demonstration
plant to test copper sulphide leach kinetics, optimise process design and
provide data required for the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). The test heaps
are at heights similar to commercial operations worldwide and the SX-EW
technology being used is industry standard. SX-EW technology is currently
responsible for approximately 22% of the world's copper production.
The Ore Reserves have been independently assessed by Australian Mine Design &
Development Pty Ltd and are in accordance with the JORC Code (Table 1). The
following statement uses a cut-off of 0.5% copper for two pits at Kali Kuning
and Lerokis with an overall waste to ore ratio of 0.98.
=-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The tonnes and grades are stated to a number of significant digits reflecting
the confidence of the estimate. Since each number and total is rounded
individually the columns and rows in the above table may not show exact sums or
weighted averages of the reported tonnes and grades.
A third deposit, Meron, is located 1.2 km from the proposed heap leach site in
the Kali Kuning Valley. This prospect has a potential size of 0.5-1.5mt @ 1-3%
Cu based on historical drilling results from the previous gold mining operation.
This potential is an exploration target which is conceptual in nature and may
or may not be converted into a Mineral Resource depending on future exploration
and resource modelling work. Meron is not included in the definitive feasibility
study, however engineering plans do recognize the potential for additional leach
ore from Meron and additional leaching space is available.
Copper mineral species at Kali Kuning and Lerokis are dominated by chalcocite
and covellite, which are readily amenable to bacterial assisted leaching, and
chalcopyrite which leaches faster at higher temperatures.
Ojolali Project
(FND 72% with option to increase to 100%)
Tambang Drilling
During the quarter, Finders received final assays from an 18 hole 1717m program
of infill reverse circulation drilling at the Tambang gold-silver vein system.
The drilling program was designed to test for near surface mineralization with
potential to provide additional feed for a startup mining operation based on the
Jambi oxide gold resource. Full results of this program were reported in
Finders ASX release of September 9 2010.
Highlights included:
* The identification of a new high grade gold-rich shoot that is completely
open at depth with an intersection of 7m grading 5.62 g/t Au and 70 g/t Ag
from 55m depth within a broader intercept of 24m grading 1.84 g/t Au and 38
g/t Ag and 0.56% Zn from 49m depth in TBGR 29
* Further high grade shallow silver intersections, including:
* 13m grading 184 g/t Ag and 0.41 g/t Au from 23m in TBGR 21,
* 20m grading 128 g/t Ag and 0.39 g/t Au from 52m depth in TBGR19
* 1m grading 658 g/t Ag and 0.52 g/t Au from 30m depth in TBGR 20
The program tested approximately 600m of the known +2km strike length of the
Tambang vein system. The results have highlighted the continuity of wide zones
of near surface gold-silver mineralization, and importantly demonstrated
previously unrecognized potential for gold rich shoots within the system, as
evidenced by the intersections in TBGR25 and 29, which are completely open at
depth.
Jambi Resource re-estimation
A revised resource estimate for the Jambi deposit is being prepared by Hellman
and Schofield Pty Ltd, incorporating the new drilling results and revised
geological model. This work is expected to be completed in November.
Metallurgical Testing
A program of metallurgical testing is being implemented at Australian Minmet
Metallurgical Laboratories Pty Ltd (AMML) comprising column leach test work from
available drill core from the Jambi deposit, and bottle roll leach testing using
RC chips from the oxidized and part oxidized zones at Tambang. Previous cyanide
leach tests for Jambi oxide mineralization have indicated +90% recoveries for
gold, but no previous leach test-work has been carried out on the silver rich
oxide material from Tambang.
The test work will review the potential to cyanide leach these ore types
considering both milling and heap leach options. The program will take about
three months to complete, and will form the basis for a scoping study into the
development of a start-up gold-silver mining operation, based on the Jambi and
Tambang oxide resources.
Ongoing Surface Exploration
Geological mapping and trench sampling continues targeting additional near
surface oxide resources, supported by structural and stratigraphic mapping to
target deeper targets for future drilling.
Background Information
Finders believes that the Ojolali project has strong potential to be a follow-on
project for Finders based
on the development of the gold resource at the Jambi Oxide deposit and/or the
Tambang Prospect.

Finders has previously announced 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).
Previous exploration by Finders, using both soil geochemistry and geophysics has
located numerous targets within a 10 x 4km mineral district which have potential
to provide additional resources.
Figure 4: Ojolali district: soil geochemistry and prospect locations
Finders' current exploration strategy at Ojolali is to increase the oxide gold-
silver resource base to +300,000 Oz gold equivalent (Au eq), to provide the
basis for a low cost 30-50,000 Oz Au eq per year open pit mine based on the
Jambi and Tambang oxide deposits.

Notes
1 The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market
how the entity's activities have been financed for the past quarter and the
effect on its cash position. An entity wanting to disclose additional
information is encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report.
2 The "Nature of interest" (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options
in respect of interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during
the reporting period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement
and there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in
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.
4 The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting
for Extractive Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this
report.
5 Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of
International Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used
do not address a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be
complied with.
