            Michael Stirzaker appointed Finance Director 
 
Finders Resources Limited (Company) is pleased to announce the 
appointment of Michael Stirzaker to the Board, in the role of Finance 
Director, effective today. 
 
Mike's initial focus in Finders will be to complete a comprehensive 
financing package for the expansion of the Company's Wetar Copper 
project to 20-25,000 tonnes per year copper production.  He holds a 
Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Cape Town and is an 
Australian Chartered Accountant.  He has more than 25 years of 
commercial experience, most of which have been in the mining finance 
and mining investment sector. 
 
Mike began his career with KPMG in Sydney, qualifying as a Chartered 
Accountant in 1986. He then joined the Corporate Advisory Division of 
Wardley James Capel (part of the HSBC Group) and in 1990 moved to 
London, spending three years in Corporate Advisory with Kleinwort 
Benson Ltd. Mike joined RFC on his return to Sydney in 1993 and 
co-led the management buyout of RFC in 2001. He has experience in a 
broad range of mining corporate finance and investment activity, 
including mergers and acquisitions, divestments and capital raisings. 
Mike was co-managing director of RFC and managing director of RFC's 
investment funds until 2007 when he joined Tennant Metals. Mike will 
be relinquishing his Executive Director duties at Tennant Metals to 
take up the Finance Director role with the Company. 
 
Mike will continue to hold shares in Tennant Metals.   Tennant Metals 
has a copper cathode offtake agreement with the Company in relation 
to all of the demonstration plant production and 20-40% (depending on 
conditions) of the proposed full scale production from the Wetar 
Copper Project.  As disclosed below, Mike and Tennant Metals also 
hold shares in the Company. 
 
Russell Fountain, Finders Chairman commented: "Mike's demonstrated 
skills and experience in the mining finance area will add great 
strength to Finders as we progress through the final feasibility 
study into full scale development of our Wetar Copper project.  As 
Finance Director, Mike is tasked with ensuring that the rapid 
expansion of the Company which will result from expansion of the 
Wetar project will proceed on a firm financial foundation, to the 
benefit of all stakeholders, and we welcome his addition to the 
Board."
