GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY


Three Year History


Kimber is a junior exploration and development company engaged in the exploration for and development of gold and silver resources on the Property, located in the State of Chihuahua in northern Mexico.


In the year 2000 the Company acquired the exploration rights and option to purchase a 100% interest in and to the mineral concessions making up the Monterde Concessions. The Company now is the holder of a 100% interest in Monterde Concessions and the Staked Concessions. In 2001 the Company acquired the exploration rights and option to purchase a 100% interest in the El Coronel Concessions and subsequently acquired title to the El Coronel Concessions, subject to reconveyance upon failure to make the payment of US$165,000 on February 14, 2006 and US$383,000 due on August 14, 2006. To date the Company has paid US$452,000 of the total purchase price of US$1,000,000.


During the last three (3) financial years the Company has carried out an on-going program of reverse circulation drilling, trenching and sampling on the Property. As of June 30, 2005 the Company had expended a total of $11,542,512 on the exploration and development of the Property and acquisition costs, of which $444,628 was funded by a third party under an option agreement that was terminated.


On July 12, 2002 Kimber closed an initial public offering with Canaccord Capital Corporation (“Canaccord”) acting as agent. Kimber placed a total of 7,000,000 units at $0.45 per unit for gross proceeds of $3,150,000. Each unit consisted of one Common Share and one transferable warrant exercisable at $0.45 until July 12, 2003 and thereafter at $0.55 until they expired on January 12, 2004. Canaccord received 10% of the gross proceeds totaling $315,000 and non-transferable warrants exercisable into 1,400,000 Common Shares at $0.45 per share until July 12, 2003 and thereafter at $0.55 per share until January 12, 2004.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

Overview


The Company is a junior resource company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties in Mexico. The Company's primary objective is the exploration and development of the Property consisting of the Monterde Concessions, the adjoining El Coronel Concessions and the Staked Concessions, all located in the Monterde Mining District in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. The Company's targets on these properties are open-pittable ore bodies, where gold and silver are amenable to extraction by heap leaching and conventional milling. The principal asset of the Company is the Carmen gold-silver deposit within the Monterde Concessions. Essential studies, including mine planning, metallurgical testing, environmental monitoring and discussions with the local community, are under way as part of a pre-feasibility study of the Carmen deposit. The pre-feasibility study, originally anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2005, was delayed as a result of a reassessment of the geological interpretation of the Carmen deposit and the expansion of the deposit resulting from both in-fill and step-out drilling. The pre-feasibility study is now anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2006. Drilling is continuing on the Carmen deposit with an aim to increasing the size of the deposit. An active program of exploration, including reverse circulation drilling, grid layout, rock sampling, geological mapping and trenching has resulted in the discovery of the Carotare and the El Orito Norte exploration targets and is proceeding on other parts of the Property in search for additional resources. In addition, the Company is taking steps to examine other mineral properties where additional resources of gold and silver may be found.

The Company’s objective is to bring the Carmen deposit to production–ready status, while continuing to increase shareholder value by adding economically attractive gold and silver resources.


As the Company is a gold and silver mineral exploration and development company with no producing properties, the most significant factor that will impact the Company are the prices for gold and silver. Since the commencement of Kimber’s financial year starting July 1, 2004 the price of gold has fluctuated  from a low of US$384.50 to a high of US$456.00 per ounce during the financial year ended June 30, 2005. As of September 26, 2005 trading closed at US$463.67 per ounce of gold. In the same time period the price of silver rose from US$5.72 to a high of US$8.01 per ounce and as of September 26, 2005 trading closed at US$7.2844 per ounce. The Company’s management believes that gold and silver prices will trade higher over the next several years and that the Company will benefit from rising precious metal prices, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct.

The following is a reproduction of the “Summary”, Section 1.0 of the Burgoyne Technical Report on the Property which is incorporated in this Annual Information Form by reference and which can be found at www.sedar.com:


1.0

Summary


Kimber Resources Inc.’s (“Kimber”) Monterde Property (the “Property”) is located in Chihuahua State, Mexico. Coordinate locations for the property are 27o35.5’N and 108o05’W, and in UTM coordinates, 3056000N and 787500E, NAD27, Mexican datum.  Access to the Property southwest from Chihuahua City is by approximately 260 kilometres of road of varying quality, from paved highway to moderate quality logging road; a four wheel drive vehicle is recommended during rainy season and generally for access on the Property roads.  Elevations range from 2000m to 2400m, with the property area covering a series of north-northwest / south-southeast ridges.  Slopes are generally moderate to locally steep.  The vegetation predominantly consists of ponderosa pine forest.  The climate of the Property area is tempered by the relatively high altitude; winters are cold and dry and a distinct rainy season with moderate temperatures typically lasts from June to October.  Besides the numerous annual streams on the property area, the water table has shown itself to be relatively shallow in most places and wells should produce ample water supplies for development and production.


The Monterde Property includes a small underground past producer of gold and silver, which operated from 1937 to 1943; approximately 68,000 tonnes of oxide ore grading 19.29 grams per tonne gold and 311.5 grams per tonne silver were mined with a cut off of 15.0 g/t gold.  Current exploration and development has been focused on mineralization associated with a set of mineralized “wrench-faults”, known as the Carmen zone.  Previously mined underground on a very small scale in the early 1940s to a 15gram/tonne gold cut-off, the area is of great interest today because the low-grade halo around the major veins should be economic using modern open pit mining methods and heap-leach and mill recovery.  In addition to the previously mined Carmen zone, local prospectors and Kimber geologists have identified other zones of exploration interest along the wrench-fault system.


Mineral concessions comprising the Property, cover in excess of 29,000 hectares, and include the Monterde Concessions, the El Coronel Concessions and Staked Concessions.   The Monterde and Staked Concessions are owned 100% by Minera Monterde, Kimber Resources 100% owned Mexican subsidiary. Option agreements are in place allowing Minera Monterde S.de R.L. de C.V. (“Minera Monterde”), to acquire 100% ownership of the El Coronel Concessions, clear of all royalties or other encumbrances; remaining option payments total US$ 548,000 in 2006.


Gold and silver mineralization of the Carmen deposit is hosted in a volcanic-intrusive complex which is located at the intersection of two major structural zones.  Primary structural control of the Carmen Deposit is a northwest striking, northeast dipping shear zone with both right lateral movement and normal displacement.  The setting is in a half-graben or pull-apart basin.  Splays branching off the main shear are evident and are related to the extension of the half graben. The intersection of north striking normal faults with the shear features contributes to the localization of the gold-silver mineralization. Gold-silver mineralization is present on all of the noted structures.


A series of three intermediate tuffaceous lithologies and the associated co-magmatic intrusives are the hosts for gold and silver mineralization.  The tuffs are slightly welded to welded. Primary porosity and permeability of the tuffaceous rocks is inferred to be greater in the less welded lithologies than in the welded lithologies.

 

Gold and silver mineralization is associated with a variety of alteration assemblages that includes argillic alteration, quartz vein stock works, phyllic alteration and iron oxides.  Within the alteration assemblages noted, gold and silver is disseminated and stock work hosted.  Geologic data support the interpretation that the gold-silver mineralization is high in the epithermal system.  The Carmen gold-silver deposit is oxidized to vertical depths of at least 300 metres.  The oxidation levels are confirmed by drill holes. On strike over 2,000 metres of favourably altered structure remains to be explored.

 

Comparable epithermal gold-silver deposits commonly have down dip extents greater than 500 metres. Surface sampling and drilling has defined the Carmen gold - silver deposit with potential economic grades that are near surface.  Underground bulk mineable mineralization potential is also present.



Three hundred and thirty (330) reverse circulation holes totalling 57,256 meters comprise the drill hole database for the Monterde Property. The Carmen deposit has been extensively explored by mapping, sampling, trenching and drilling. Two hundred and eighty-seven (276) reverse circulation drill holes totalling 49,183 meters comprise the Carmen drill hole database of which 79 holes totalling 16,090 meters were drilled in 2005. Mineral Resource Estimate L, for the Carmen Deposit, includes all reverse circulation drilling to July 2005.

 

Estimate L, for Carmen Deposit, was calculated in August and September 2005, based on available drill data.  Much of the former inferred Mineral Resource Estimate K, defined in 2004 (Cukor et al 2004), has been brought into the Measured and Indicated categories.  The Mineral Resource Estimate L, which is summarised below in Table 1-1, is based on two separate gold and silver cut offs.  Cut-offs of mineralization at or greater to 0.3 grams per tonne gold, and mineralization that is equal or greater than 35 grams per tonne silver with gold at less than 0.3 grams per tonne, are used.  Neither open pit design nor optimization has been done; hence the presently defined Mineral Resource Estimate L is an in situ resource without a waste to mineralization strip ratio.

Carmen deposit mineralization is open down-dip and along the trend of the Carmen-Los Hilos-Cocos-Cob shear system, to the southeast, and beyond the Dome Fault to the northwest. The Carmen deposit also remains to be further defined and explored to the northeast, where other structures sub-parallel to the Carmen shear, including the Cob shear and Cocos shear have been defined by drilling.


A comparison of 18 core holes, completed during 2004 on the Carmen Deposit, to reverse circulation drilling results indicates that generally core drilling defines the zone(s) of gold-silver mineralization and intercept lengths are similar to reverse circulation drilling.  The gold grade is lower in the core drilling, however, core drilling overall is not considered an ideal sampling medium for low concentrations of gold because of the relatively smaller, less representative, sample weight collected compared to RC drilling.   


La Veta Minitas, a gold-silver bearing mineralized fault-shear, trending northwest, parallel to the main Camen shear system, is open to the southeast.   This system was intersected by 24 drill holes during the 2003 and 2004 drill programs; La Veta Minitas is located about 250 metres south of the main Carmen shear.  A resource estimate by Kimber in November 2004 defined a resource not considered economically important at present.


Besides Carmen Deposit, the two most significant mineralized gold-silver bearing structures and exploration targets defined to date are Carotare and El Orito Norte.


At the Carotare Exploration Target drilling has been in two zones, the Carotare East (Discovery) and Carotare West (Pandora).  The area of alteration and mineralization is much like the Carmen Deposit, although larger.  At Carotare East drilling indicates a mineralized structure with grades and widths similar on the Carmen extending along a length of at least 220 metres and to a depth of at least 180 metres.  In Carotare West Zone, 200 metres to the west of Carotare East, drilling has defined mineralization along a length of 150 metres.


At El Orito Norte, gold mineralization was defined in a 2004 drill hole near an old underground decline.  Traced to the north this zone expands to a width of 80 metres consisting of silica-hematite-breccia bodies identical to those forming the high-grade mineralized zones at Carmen.  The approximate dimensions of the favourable alteration on the entire zone are in the order of 750 by 750 metres.


Additional drilling and exploration work is definitely justified at the Monterde Property. The Carmen gold - silver deposit should be advanced to pre feasibility as funding permits; mine engineering and planning studies should continue such that a mineral reserve can be estimated and metallurgical beneficiation studies should continue.


The character and excellent drill results obtained to date by Kimber Resources Inc. are of sufficient merit to warrant the following programs:

·

On the Carmen deposit an exploration/development program of in-fill reverse circulation drilling totalling 20,000 metres is recommended to continue to upgrade the current inferred resource class to measured and indicated categories and to extend the deposit. The drilling on Carmen should continue to focus on an in-fill program at 25-meter centres along strike and down dip. Additional drilling should be conducted on the splays and sub-parallel structures present in the hanging wall of the Carmen Shear.

·

On the El Orito Norte and Carotare structures, located 0.5 km and 2 km west of the Carmen deposit, geological mapping, trenching, rock sampling and 10,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling are recommended.  The Carotare exploration target, at this time, warrants most of the drilling.


The recommended exploration and development budget on the Monterde Property totals CDN $5.5 million and includes 30,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling.  This program includes, besides reverse circulation drilling, grid layout, rock sampling, geological mapping, trenching, bulk sampling, surveying, mine planning and metallurgical work.”

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies


To the best of management’s knowledge, no director or officer of Kimber, or a shareholder holding a sufficient number of Common Shares to affect materially the control of Kimber, or within 10 years before the date of this Annual Information Form, has been a director or officer of any other issuer that, while that person was acting in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade or similar order, or an order that denied the other issuer access to any exemptions under Canadian securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, or became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.


Penalties or Sanctions


To the best of management’s knowledge, no penalties or sanctions have been imposed on a director or officer of Kimber or a shareholder holding a sufficient number of Common Shares of Kimber to affect materially the control of Kimber, in relation to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority, or by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision.

Conflicts of Interest


Directors and officers of Kimber also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and development and may be presented from time to time with situations or opportunities which give rise to apparent conflicts of interest which cannot be resolved by arm’s length negotiations, but only through the exercise by any such officer or director of such judgment as is consistent with his fiduciary duties to Kimber which arise under British Columbia corporate law, especially insofar as taking advantage, directly or indirectly, of information or opportunities acquired in his capacity as a director or officer of Kimber. All conflicts of interest will be resolved in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Any transactions with directors and officers will be made on terms consistent with industry standards and sound business practice in accordance with the fiduciary duties of those persons to Kimber, and, depending upon the magnitude of the transactions and the absence of any disinterested directors of Kimber, may be submitted to the shareholders of the Kimber for their approval.

RISK FACTORS


The securities of Kimber must be considered speculative, generally due to the nature of the Company's business and the stage of development of the properties in which it has an interest. In particular, an investor should consider the following risks:


1.

An investment in natural resource companies involves a significant degree of risk. The properties in which the Company has an interest are in the exploration stage only and are without a known body of commercial ore. The degree of risk increases substantially where the Company’s properties are in the exploration, as opposed to the development stage.


2.

If the Company's exploration programs are successful, additional funds will be required for the development of an economic ore body and to place it in commercial production. The only source of future funds presently available to the Company is through the sale of equity capital or the offering by the Company of an interest in the Property to be earned by another party or parties carrying out further exploration or development thereof, which is not presently contemplated. There is no assurance that additional funding will be available to the Company for further exploration and development of its projects or that such funding will be available on terms acceptable to management of Kimber. If additional funds are not available, the Company may not be able to maintain its rights to the Property.


3.

Any future equity financings by Kimber for the purpose of raising additional funds may result in substantial dilution to the holdings of existing shareholders.


4.

Mining operations involve a high degree of risk.  Hazards and /or uncertainties such as unusual or unexpected rock formations and other conditions are involved. Fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are some of the risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs.  The Company has limited liability insurance and it may become subject to liability for pollution, cave-ins or hazards against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.


5.

The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond its control. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resources markets and processing equipment, and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital and a loss of all or part of an investment in securities of Kimber may result.


6.

The Property in which the Company has an interest is located in Mexico. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by governmental regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, maintenance of mineral concessions, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. There can be no assurance that new rules and regulations will not be enacted, or that existing rules and regulations will be applied in a manner that would not limit or curtail development or production of the Company's operations. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the operations and activities of the Company or more stringent enforcement of such laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company.


7.

With the Company's exploration and development activities occurring in Mexico, the Company may be affected by possible political or economic instability in Mexico. The risks include, but are not limited to, terrorism, military repression, expropriation, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and high rates of inflation. Mexico has experienced extreme inflationary rates in the past.  Changes in mining or investment policies, shifts in political attitude or high rates of inflation in Mexico may adversely affect the Company's business.


8.

The fact that the Company's operations are in Mexico and some of its obligations are denominated in the Mexican peso or the US dollar make the Company subject to foreign currency fluctuations and such fluctuations may adversely affect the Company's financial position and results by increasing the cost of such operations and obligations. Kimber transfers funds to Minera Monterde on an “as needed” basis to avoid significant exposure to currency fluctuations.


9.

As essentially all the Company's assets are located outside of Canada, it may be difficult to enforce against Kimber any judgment that is obtained in a Canadian court.


10.

While the Company has diligently investigated the titles to all of the mineral concessions making up the Property and to the best of Kimber's knowledge title to all of the said mineral concessions is in good standing, this should not be construed as a guarantee that title will not be challenged or impugned by third parties. The Property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects or governmental actions.


11.

The operations of the Company will require various licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at its projects.


12.

The Company is dependent upon four key personnel and the loss of the services of any of them could have an adverse effect on the Company. Kimber does not maintain “key man” life insurance.


13.

The Company has no significant earnings and Kimber has no dividend record. Since Kimber intends to employ available funds for mineral exploration and development, it does not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.


14.

Certain directors and officers of Kimber are involved as directors or officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and may be presented from time to time with opportunities which give rise to conflicts of interest.


15.

The amounts attributed to the Company's mineral properties in its financial statements represent acquisition and exploration expenditures and should not be taken to reflect realizable value.
