("Finders", "the Company"). 
 
Mr Roussel is a Principal with Resource Capital Funds ("RCF").  Prior 
to joining  RCF in  2006,  he worked  in  the capacity  of  corporate 
development for  Asian  American Coal,  Inc  ("AACI"), one  of  RCF's

not held any other directorship. 
 
Russell Fountain, who has  had the role  of executive Chairman  since 
the Company was  established, has become  non-executive Chairman.  He 
will continue  to  provide  technical expertise  in  respect  of  the 
completion of the  Wetar feasibility study,  specifically in  matters 
related  to  the  practical  geological  interface  with  mining  and 
metallurgical  operations,  continuing  exploration  of  the   highly 
prospective tenements  elsewhere on  Wetar Island  and directing  all 
other exploration activities in the company. 
 
Mr Ian Neuss has retired as Dr Fountain's alternate. 
 
In addition,  Finders are  in  the process  of appointing  a  Finance 
Director and, subject to finalising details of appointment, expect to 
make an additional announcement regarding Board composition. 
 
Managing Director,  Chris  Farmer  said  that  "with  the  successful 
operation of the  Wetar demonstration  plant which  is now  producing 
some 6 tonnes per  day of LME  Grade A Cathode, the  focus is on  the 
final feasibility study for  the 20-25, 000  tonnes per year  Cathode 
Project and its  associated financing and  execution.  These  changes 
will strengthen our  governance arrangements  and provide  additional 
expertise for the Company to manage  this next exciting stage of  the 
Company's development."

Background on Finders Resources 
Finders, listed on AIM and ASX,  is the operator of the Wetar  Copper 
(92% and  earning),  and  Ojolali  Gold-Silver  Projects  (72%  with 
option) in Indonesia, and holds an investment in Geopacific Resources 
NL, an ASX-listed company with  active exploration programs for  gold 
and copper in Fiji. 
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  early  February 2009  and  is permitted  to  process 
100,000t of  ore  from  the  Kali Kuning  deposit.   The  Company  is 
targeting commercial production of 20-25,000 tonnes per year  cathode 
by early  2010,  subject  to accelerated  schedules  for  engineering 
design work 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  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.
