The mineral resource estimate for the Carmen, Veta Minitas and Carotare deposits at Monterde were prepared by Mr. Gary Giroux P.Eng., a senior associate of Micon International, and the results are effective at May 1, 2011. The estimation of grades was constrained by models of the geological and mineralized zones created by Kimber geological staff under the supervision of Mr. Petrus (Marius) Mare, P.Geo. Mr. Petrus (Marius) Mare, P.Geo. is the Vice-President Exploration, and the designated Qualified Person (“QP”) for the Monterde project under National Instrument 43-101. Models of the geology and mineralization of gold and silver at Carmen were reviewed and approved by Mr. Terrence Hennessey P.Geo. of Micon International. The wireframes of the high grade and low grade gold and silver mineralization were interpreted into various sub-domains to optimize the sample search orientation by Pierre Desautels P.Geo. of PEG Mining Consultants Inc. The gold and silver metallurgical recovery models used to calculate gold and silver recoveries by block and gold equivalent grade by block were prepared by Kimber staff and consultants, and reviewed and approved by Richard Gowans P.Eng., President of Micon International.
