| Finders ~72% with option to increase to 100% The Ojolali Project comprises 5,921 Ha of Exploration KP concessions in Lampung Province in Sumatra. Finders holds a 71.7% interest in the project through its subsidiary, Way Kanan Resources Pty Ltd, in partnership with Great Northern Resources (22.8%), and PT Batutua Kharisma Permai (5.5%). Finders has an option to purchase 100% of the project on completion of a feasibility study. Finders controls the entire Ojolali mineral district which comprises over 20 named prospects located in gently rolling countryside within the Sumatran gold belt in Indonesia. Finders acquired the project in 2005 and has since carried out an extensive exploration programme with the two-fold aim of establishing an initial mining resource at the Jambi oxide gold prospect, and also defining the potential of the remaining area for additional discoveries. |
Finders exploration has included surface mapping, detailed ground geophysics, including pole dipole induced polarization (IP) and ground magnetics (25 km2 ), composite soil sampling (35 km2), and an ongoing programme of follow up surface trenching and channel sampling of target areas, including extensive sampling of local miner workings. ResourcesBased on diamond and reverse circulation drilling by Finders, Hellman and Schofield Pty Ltd has independently estimated resources of approximately 140,000 oz gold at the Jambi oxide gold deposit, as detailed in the table below. The Jambi resource remains open to the north, west, southwest, north-east and at depth. With a hill-top location and favourable metallurgy, Jambi has potential for mining as a low stripping ratio open cut. ![]() |

An additional Inferred Resource of 7.9m tonnes at 167 g/t Ag and 0.7 g/t Au (using a 1 g/t Au equivalent cut-off) containing approximately 40 million ounces of silver and 170,000 oz of Au, based on drilling by other companies, has been previously announced for part of the 2.5km long Tambang vein system. Finders' current exploration strategy is to increase the oxide gold resource to +300,000 oz Au equivalent, to provide the basis for a low cost 30-50,000 oz gold per year open pit mine based on the Jambi oxide resource, and to use the cash flow from this plant to fund exploration for additional resources and progressive expansion of the project. Potential for Additional DiscoveryWith widespread local miner activity for gold and strong gold in soil geochemical anomalies over an area so far 8km north south and up to 5km wide, Finders considers that there is strong potential for additional discoveries, including a number of target types:

Current ExplorationCurrent exploration at Ojolali is focused on increasing the potentially open pit resource from 140,000 oz Au to at least 300,000 ounces gold equivalent to underpin development of an economically robust start-up mining operation. Prime targets for additional mineralization are lateral and depth extensions of the current Jambi resource, and the near surface, part oxidized portions of the Tambang gold-silver vein system, where intersections from limited previous drilling indicate strong enrichment of silver values around the base of oxidation.
