 Quarterly Activities Report for the Period Ended 30 September 2008

                             HIGHLIGHTS

Wetar Copper Project

* Construction of the 5 tpd demonstration cathode plant is ongoing
  and all components now received in Indonesia. Commissioning
  re-scheduled for end November with full cathode production rate
  expected in December.

* The impact of current lower copper prices on projected cash flow
  from the demonstration plant is significantly mitigated by reduced
  costs resulting from lower oil prices. Direct operating costs for
  the demonstration plant are estimated to be less than an average of
  US$1/lb Cu during the initial 12 month production period.

* The Feasibility Study for the full scale 25,000 tpa copper project
  remains on track under Ausenco management, with progress milestones
  completed including:

o  Project layout including cost analysis for expansion to Lerokis.
o  Equipment and consumable inquiries sent to capable suppliers.
o  Engineering process design and operating cost simulations.
o  Power study including transmission and fuel storage.

* Independent mining consultant AMDAD (Australian Mine Design and
  Development) has commenced the estimation of mining reserves using
  JORC guidelines and based upon resource modelling from Hellman and
  Schofield.

* On September 16th the Environment Impact Control Committee
  (BAPEDALDA) of the Maluku provincial government, Indonesia,
  approved the KA-ANDAL for the full scale project, the penultimate
  stage of environmental approval.

* In the light of recent drastic changes in the economic climate, and
  also potential easing of supplier capacity restrictions, a full
  review of underlying assumptions for the feasibility study has been
  initiated with a view to minimizing the capital footprint of the
  full scale project development.

Ojolali Gold-Silver Project

* Confirmation of epithermal style gold-silver mineralization at the
  new Suban prospect extends the known target area within the Ojolali
  project leases by around 3 km north of previously known
  mineralization at Jambi.

* District exploration continued with extensive infill soil sampling,
  results are still pending.

Corporate

* During and since the end of the quarter, the Company carried out a
  successful fund-raising, involving a placement to sophisticated
  investors, institutions and Directors of approximately 8.6 million
  shares at AUD$ 0.60 or GBP 0.28 each to raise approximately AUD$5.4
  million, which was completed on October 22, plus a shareholder
  purchase plan at the same price which raised another AUD$163,000.

* Key additions to the Company's management comprising the
  appointment of Mr Robert Thomson as General Manager, Development,
  and Mr Chin Haw Lim as Chief Financial Officer, will considerably
  strengthen the Company as it undergoes the transition to producer
  status.

As part of a definitive feasibility study, a demonstration SX-EW
plant with 5t per day copper cathode capacity is being installed 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 the end of 2009, subject to accelerated schedules
for engineering design work and project funding. For further
information on results previously reported please visit our website
www.findersresources.com.

Demonstration Plant
The demonstration plant will replicate all aspects of the planned
full scale 20-25,000 tpa cathode operation from mining to the
production of copper cathode.

As previously reported, the Company has experienced significant
supplier delays for key components of the plant. We are pleased to
report that the last of these items, the trunk busbars, are now
in-country and in the process of passing through customs.

The final shipment of equipment to site is expected to arrive ready
for installation during the first week of November and, as such,
commissioning of the demonstration plant has been rescheduled for
late November with copper cathode production expected in December.

The updated project status is a follows:

o  Fabrication of trunk busbar complete, expected on site within 3
weeks subject to customs clearance in Indonesia.
o  Crusher/stacker installation and fabrication is advanced with
final electrical motor installation and cabling outstanding with view
to commissioning and stacking commencing in mid-November.
o  Final shipment of electro-winning plant components due in early
November for immediate installation on arrival at site.
o  Final SX plant civil works are complete and installation of tanks,
pumps and piping due to commence.

Feasibility Study
The feasibility study for the full scale 20-25,000 tpa cathode
operation is running in parallel with the construction of the
demonstration plant and Ausenco Services Pty Ltd has been retained as
study manager.

Current changes in the economic climate, and also potential easing of
supplier capacity restrictions, have prompted the Company to
undertake a full review of underlying assumptions for the feasibility
study with a view to minimizing the capital footprint of the full
scale project development.

The review, to date, has focussed on the following aspects

* Project layout optimisation particularly considering earthworks
  volumes and utilisation of waste rock from the Kali Kuning deposit

* Analysis of electrical transmission and pipeline costs for initial
  production from Kali Kuning and later expansion to Lerokis.

* Revised equipment and consumable enquiries sent to capable
  suppliers.

* Operating cost simulations which are particularly sensitive to oil
  prices; current modelling of process operating cost estimates alone
  vary by approx. 3c/lb Cu for every 10c/l change in landed fuel
  price.

Ausenco has completed substantial portions of the process engineering
work required for the Feasibility Study and is on track to complete
work by December.

Refined models of the leach kinetics and copper recovery curves are
underway with a view to optimising mining, stacking and plant
throughput.

AMDAD has commenced the estimation of mining reserves using JORC
guidelines.

Hellman and Schofield is finalising an upgraded resource model based
on the in-fill drilling undertaken in conjunction with the
geotechnical drilling in the previous quarter.

During the quarter the Company lodged documents with the Environment
Impact Control Committee (BAPEDALDA) of the Maluku provincial
government pertaining to the environmental permitting process for the
full scale project and on September 16th approval was obtained by the
Company for the KA-ANDAL (terms of reference), the penultimate stage
of environmental approval.

The final environmental monitoring and closure plan is currently
being drafted by ENSR and Institut Pertanian Bogor.

Metallurgical test work
During the period, the Company initiated further column test work at
the onsite laboratory at Wetar using fresh ore material from the Kali
Kuning test pit.  The main aim of the tests is to compare the Cu
recovery and acid generation effects at different feed acid
conditions.

Two 1.8m columns are being operated with two different initial
raffinate acidities of 12gpl and 20gpl. Both tests involve solvent
extraction and the latter test is not being controlled with respect
to raffinate acidity.

Image 6 Recovery Curves from onsite test columns (see attached)

Results to date indicate that copper recovery is faster and PLS
grades higher with higher acid concentrations and over 40% copper
recovery achieved within 50 days. It should be noted that these
progress results are based on extrapolation from solution assays, and
that definitive recovery figures will require solids assays and mass
balances on completion of the tests.

Test work on columns using BioheapTM technology at the Ammtec Ltd
laboratory is ongoing and the two 3m columns are being continued.  An
updated recovery table is as follows:

May 2008 Jambi Deposit Mineral Resource Estimates
(Mt equals millions of tonnes, koz equals thousands of ounces.
Subject to rounding errors.)

Other prospects have outstanding potential for the discovery of
additional resources using modern geophysical techniques to optimize
drill targeting.

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).

For further information on results previously reported and a full
resource statement please visit our website www.findersresources.com

Suban Gold Prospect
At the newly named Suban prospect, three km north of Jambi, a high
gold and silver anomaly coincides with a small window of bedrock
exposed in an old erosion surface, with very low relief,
characterized by extensive sub-rounded to angular float of epithermal
quartz and petrified wood, and overlain by extensive areas of recent
unconsolidated volcanic ash up to 2 m thick, which will serve to
effectively mask previous soil geochemical surveys. Further follow-up
at Suban will comprise auger soil geochemistry and ground IP surveys
to define the source of the extensive vein float material.  The Suban
prospect marks the most northerly of a string of gold geochemical
anomalies extending north from Jambi, and is currently interpreted to
be a continuation of the Jambi structure.

Tambang Gold-Silver Prospect
During the quarter, a new phase of local miner activity has developed
with mining superficial concentrations of manganese oxides along the
surface trace of the Tambang vein system over a strike length of
around 400m and to maximum depths of about 4m. This has provided some
good exposures of the Tambang vein and a program of systematic
channel sampling at 25m spacing has been implemented to help assess
potential for oxide gold and silver mineralization.

Geochemical Soil Sampling
During the quarter, exploration work at Ojolali focused on infill
soil sampling to follow up of regional soil anomalies reported in the
June quarterly report, supported by reconnaissance geological mapping
of these areas. This work comprised collection of 1,121 samples over
28 line km. Results of this sampling have not yet been received.
