Dear Mr. Hoole,

As you are aware, Kimber Resources Inc. (the “Company”)
  proposes to carry out an initial public offering (an “IPO”) and
  become listed on the Canadian Venture Exchange (the “CDNX”). You
  have provided on-going management and legal services to the Company since 1998
  and currently hold the position of Vice President and Secretary of the Company.

This letter will serve to confirm that the Company wishes to continue engaging
  your services upon the following terms: 

	 	(a)	You will be engaged by the Company to provide on-going
        legal and management services to the Company and will hold the position
        of Vice President and Secretary of the Company during the term hereof
        or until such position is changed by mutual agreement in writing.

	 	 	 
	 	(b)	During the term hereof you will devote not less than
        60% of your working time to the affairs of the Company and commencing
        on the date the Company closes its IPO you will invoice the Company and
        be paid not more than the amount of $5000 per month, provided however,
        if the Company lacks adequate funding and has no reasonable expectations
        of obtaining the necessary funding to continue its exploration and development
        activities this amount may be reduced or eliminated unilaterally by the
        Company upon giving you not less than 30 days notice in writing. 

	 	 	 
	 	(c)	You will be entitled to 15 days of paid time for
        vacation in each calendar year to be taken at a time or times reasonably
        acceptable to the Company.

	 	 	 
	 	(d)	This agreement will become effective on the date
        the Company closes its IPO and shall continue for a term of two (2) years
        thereafter.

	 	 	 








	 	(e)	 The term of this agreement shall be reviewed annually
        and may be amended and/or extended from time to time by the mutual agreement
        of the parties in writing.

	 	 	 
	 	(f)	 Notwithstanding the term of this agreement, you
        may at any time terminate this agreement by giving not less than 90 days
        notice in writing to the Company.

	 	 	 
	 	(g)	In the performance of legal and on-going management
        services to the Company hereunder you will be an independent contractor
        and not an employee of the Company. As such, you will have full and complete
        discretion in determining the manner, times and places for the performance
        of such services. As an independent contractor, you will be responsible
        for collecting and remitting applicable GST and the payment of all income
        taxes and Canada Pension Plan contributions attributable to any payments
        made pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise payable by you.

	 	 	 
	 	(h)	You agree during the term of this agreement and thereafter
        to indemnify and save harmless the Company from and against any and all
        manner of actions, claims and demands which may be made against them in
        respect of any fees, assessments, contributions, levies, rates, taxes
        or other charges made, demanded, assessed or otherwise claimed by any
        provincial or federal government or other body of competent jurisdiction
        in respect of any monies paid to you pursuant to this agreement. 



If the terms of this letter are acceptable to you would you please sign and
  return the enclosed copy of this letter.



  Yours truly,

  Kimber Resources Inc.
