Kimber Resources Inc. (AMEX:KBX, TSX:KBR) VANCOUVER, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kimber is pleased to report further drill results from the Carotare, Carmen and Veta Minitas deposits at the Monterde project. Carotare Deposit Results are now available for three additional holes on the Carotare deposit. These include: CTC-06 36 metres @ 3.90 g/t Au eq. CTC-06, a step out to the northeast of the drill pattern, extends the mineralization down dip. Road and pad building continues at Carotare. Some drilling was completed in Carotare in September. Results from these samples will be processed as soon as possible. Veta Minitas Deposit The Veta Minitas is a partially-drilled structure lying some 200 metres to the southwest and in the footwall of the Carmen deposit. After a resource estimate of 50,200 gold-equivalent ounces in Measured & Indicated and 14,400 Inferred had been established in November 2004 (using a 85:1 gold/silver conversion ratio), drilling was directed to other targets. Recent drilling has been to investigate the possibility of additional resources on this structure. Results include: LMR-35 10 metres @ 10.54 g/t Au eq. LMR-37 28 metres @ 2.66 g/t Au eq. LMR-30 20 metres @ 2.22 g/t Au eq. & 6 metres @ 4.85 Au eq. LMR-35 was drilled to the southwest of LMR-31 and gave first indications of a high grade zone at depth. Other intervals of interest were found in LMR-37 and LMR-30. Carmen Deposit Drilling at Carmen included testing the limits to the northern part of the deposit and some infill holes. Results include: MTR-380 8 metres @ 4.98 g/t Au eq. MTR-405 4 metres @ 6.91 g/t Au eq. MTR-415 14 metres @ 1.89 g/t Au eq. MTR-380 was in the northern part of the deposit and was targeting extensions of the Carmen deposit. MTR-405 reported a near surface intercept within the Los Hilos structure. MTR-415 was an infill hole between MTR-257 (reported August 11, 2005) and MTR-354 (reported June 6, 2006).

True widths are expected to range between 65% and 85% of the intervals reported on the table above. All samples are prepared and analysed by ALS Chemex. About Kimber Kimber Resources Inc., which holds a 100% interest in the Monterde property in the Sierra Madre of northern Mexico, is advancing the Carmen gold-silver deposit towards production. The Carmen deposit, an underground mine in the 1930's, is a typical low sulphidation epithermal system, oxidized, and believed to be suitable for open pit mining. Two adjacent epithermal systems first identified in 2005, the Carotare deposit and El Orito Norte exploration target appear to be similar to the Carmen. The goal of the company is to demonstrate at least three million resource ounces from the two deposits and exploration target identified. For further information on the company visit SEDAR or the company website at http://www.kimberresources.com/. Mr. Fernando Oviedo, B.Sc., Project Manager, managed this program of drilling on the Monterde project. Mr. J.B. Richards, P.Eng., Vice President Engineering, and designated Qualified Person (Q.P.) for the project is responsible for quality control and has verified the data disclosed. He has determined that the laboratory reports matched the drill sample logs and that the quality control assays fall within reasonable limits. QA./QC procedures incorporate blanks and duplicates inserted at the drill site and standards inserted after sample preparation. Drilling is by reverse circulation. A one eighth split of each two-metre section of the drill hole, weighing approximately 6 kg is processed by ALS Chemex at its preparation laboratory in Chihuahua, Mexico. Pulps are analysed by ALS Chemex at its laboratory in North Vancouver, British Columbia, using 50 gram subsamples, fire assay with an AA finish for gold and four-acid digestion and ICP finish for silver from a 0.4 gram subsample. Highgrade gold or silver intervals are re-assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Cautionary Statement Statements in this release may be viewed as forward-looking statements.
