KIMBER INTERCEPTS 4 METRES OF 25 g/t GOLD AT CARMEN GOLD-SILVER DEPOSIT, MONTERDE PROJECT - "Kimber Resources Inc. (NYSE Amex:KBX) (TSX:KBR.to - News) is pleased to announce the results of a further 9 drill holes from its ongoing drill program at the Carmen Deposit at its Monterde Project in Mexico. Five of the drill holes (MTR-480, 481, 482, 490 and 491) were drilled to upgrade the confidence level of shallow mineral resources potentially amenable to open pit extraction ("Carmen Pit" targets), while the remaining holes were drilled with the objective of expanding and upgrading mineral resources potentially amenable to underground extraction ("Carmen Deep" targets), particularly on the main Carmen structure. The drilling of the Carmen Deep targets utilizes a combination of reverse circulation drilling at the top of the hole and diamond drilling in the lower part of the hole. The drilling continues to be successful with several high-grade intercepts returned from the main Carmen structure and associated hanging wall splays as well as the Hilos and Cob structures, within the Carmen deposit. Mineralization in the Carmen Deep areas is associated with moderate to strong silicification within a package of felsic to intermediate flows and pyroclastic rocks." More

A near-vertical hole, drilled south of discovery hole HSB11-019 and intended to test the depth and attitude of the high-grade zone, returned 85 meters of 3.0 g/t Au(1) and 102.9 g/t Ag(1) (5.3 g/t AuEq(2)) within a larger intercept of 188 meters grading 1.9 g/t Au and 62.3 g/t Ag (3.3 g/t AuEq). Hole HSB11-047 intersected 58 meters of 2.0 g/t Au and 34.7 g/t Ag (2.7 g/t AuEq) and extended the high-grade zone to the south. The zone remains open along a northeast-southwest trend and at depth and drilling will continue to identify the extents of this zone." More
