KIMBER ANNOUNCES YEAR END FINANCIAL RESULTS

October 1, 2013

Vancouver, British Columbia - Kimber Resources Inc. (TSX:KBR) has announced its financial results for the year ended June 30, 2013. All amounts in this news release are in Canadian dollars. The operating results were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Kimber’s audited consolidated financial statements, management’s discussion & analysis and Annual Information Form for the year ended June 30, 2013 are now available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Kimber’s net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was $47,892,658 or $0.58 per common share compared with a net loss of $3,566,641 or $0.04 loss per share for the year ended June 30, 2012. The principal reason for the increase in net loss relates to an impairment of the Monterde mineral interests by $44.4 million.

Kimber’s net assets decreased by $47,145,482 during the year ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in net assets is related mainly to the Impairment of the Monterde mineral interests by $44.4 million (see Impairment of Mineral Interests below).

“During the year ended June 30, 2013, Kimber completed additional technical milestones including the growth of gold-silver measured and indicated mineral resources at the Carmen Deposit. However, given our cash and working capital position in the face of a challenging market for junior resource companies, Kimber needed to achieve a funding solution to allow Kimber and the Monterde project to advance,” stated Gordon Cummings, President and CEO of Kimber Resources. “The recently announced Invecture take-over offer provides $2 million of cash from an initial placement and liquidity to shareholders through a cash offer at a significant premium to the spot price prior to the deal announcement.”

Impairment of mineral interests

Assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. At June 30, 2013 Kimber determined that the carrying amount of mineral interests for the Monterde property may not be fully recoverable and triggered impairment testing. On 25 September 2013 Kimber entered into a support agreement for the acquisition of all the outstanding common shares of the Company (see below - Invecture GroupTake Over Offer for Kimber). This agreement indicates a revised valuation for Kimber and effectively for Monterde, being Kimber’s principal asset, and the terms of this agreement were used to estimate the recoverable amount of mineral interests at June 30, 2013.

Invecture Group Take Over Offer for Kimber

On September 25, 2013 Kimber entered into a support agreement for the acquisition of all the outstanding common shares of the Company. Under this agreement Invecture Group SA de CV has subscribed by private placement for 20 million shares of Kimber at $0.10 per share for proceeds of $2 million and a tender offer will be made to the shareholders of Kimber to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Kimber for $0.15 per share as part of a take-over bid (see news release dated September 25, 2013).

About Kimber

Kimber owns mineral concessions covering in excess of 39,000 hectares in the prospective Sierra Madre gold-silver belt, including the Monterde property, where three gold-silver mineral resources have already been defined. The most advanced of these, the Carmen deposit, has been extensively drilled and has undergone detailed geologic modeling. The completion of the Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for Monterde in 2011 represented a significant step forward for Kimber and supported further evaluation and more advanced economic studies at the Monterde deposits, with the 2012 Updated Mineral Resource Estimate Technical Report for the Carmen deposit representing a component of those activities.
