All resolutions at the Company's Annual General Meeting were adopted as proposed.

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 feasibility, while drilling neighbouring epithermal systems for additional resources. The Carmen deposit, an underground mine in the 1930's, is a typical epithermal system: low sulphidation, oxidized, and believed to be suitable for open pit mining. A pre-feasibility study is expected on the Carmen deposit in 2006. The Company is reporting 1.12 million gold equivalent resource ounces of Measured & Indicated and 499,000 ounces of Inferred. The adjacent epithermal systems now being drilled, appear to be similar. For further information on the Company visit SEDAR or the Company website at, www.kimberresources.com.
