Kimber Resources Inc. (TSX:KBR) VANCOUVER, Dec. 19 /CNW/ - Kimber is pleased to announce that the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) has conditionally approved the common shares of Kimber Resources Inc. for trading on AMEX. A future announcement will be made once a date has been confirmed to commence trading.

Robert Longe, President and CEO comments: "We are very pleased to have been approved for a listing on AMEX. This is an important milestone for Kimber. The AMEX listing will provide greater market access to Kimber shares for both retail and institutional investors in the United States, where Kimber is fortunate to have a number of very supportive shareholders." The proposed trading symbol will be "KBX" on the AMEX and the Company will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "KBR". 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. A pre-feasibility study is expected on the Carmen deposit in 2006. 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 initial resource estimate on Carotare was reported in November 2005. The goal of the company is to demonstrate at least three million resource ounces from the two deposits and exploration target identified.
