Once again, an executive who was brought on board at Kimber amidst great hype and promise, has quietly slipped out the door.

Jumped or pushed? You make the call. But Kimber's doing a two-for-one deal, announcing two hires for the one "resignation."

Hard to have much confidence in Kimber as the lack of execution continues. A bounce if and when the resource estimate gets released -- and assuming it's positive -- would be my cue to slip out the shareholder door.
