VANCOUVER, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kimber Resources Inc. (NYSE Alternext:KBX, TSX:KBR) received confirmation from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that the registration statement on Form F-3, previously filed in June 2008, has become effective as of November 18, 2008. This effective registration statement allows the Company to make public offerings of the Company's common shares up to an aggregate offering price of US$20million in the United States for an indefinite period as long as the registration statement remains effective. Equity securities may be offered in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an accompanying shelf registration supplement. The net proceeds from the sale of any offered equity securities would be used for exploration of the Company's Monterde, Pericones and Setago properties, advancement of the Carmen deposit, and for general corporate purposes, including financing potential future acquisitions and capital expenditures. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of the equity securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Having completed a financing for C$5.0 million in September 24, 2008, Kimber's management believes it is sufficiently financed to carry out its current plans for the next year and has no immediate plans to undertake a financing. As of November 26, 2008 cash and cash equivalents and working capital are each estimated to be C$6.35 million, with 94% of cash and cash equivalents invested in Canadian Government Treasury bills with a maturity of less than 60 days. About Kimber Kimber owns mineral concessions covering in excess of 39,000 hectares in the prospective Sierra Madre gold-silver belt, including the Company's 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 is currently undergoing detailed geologic modeling in order to evaluate the potential for a combined open pit and underground mining operation based on current resources. In addition, the Company has a 100% interest in the mineral concessions of its Pericones property, an 11,890 hectare property targeted for silver, located approximately 100 kilometres southwest of Mexico City.
