                             Material Change Report

        Item 1. Reporting Issuer

        The reporting issuer filing this material change report is Kinross Gold
        Corporation ("Kinross").

        Item 2. Date of Material Change

        January 31, 2003

        Item 3. Press Release

        Press release was issued by Kinross in Toronto on January 31, 2003 with
        respect to the material change and filed via SEDAR.

        Item 4. Summary of Material Change

        Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") completes the previously announced
        business combination (the "Combination") with TVX Gold Inc. ("TVX") and
        Echo Bay Mines Ltd. ("Echo Bay").

        Item 5. Full Description of Material Change

        Kinross (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC) announced the approval of the Combination by
        the shareholders of Echo Bay (TSX-ECO; Amex-ECO) and TVX (TSX-TVX;
        NYSE-TVX) and the receipt of final approval of the Plan of Arrangement
        by the Superior Court of Justice, Ontario. As a result of the completion
        today of the Combination of Kinross, Echo Bay and TVX and the
        acquisition of the 49.9% interest in the TVX Newmont Americas joint
        venture from Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE-NEM; TSX-NMC; ASX-NEM)
        ("Newmont"), Kinross has become the seventh largest primary gold
        producer in the world. Kinross is the only senior North American based
        gold producer with both a strict non-hedging policy and less than 5% of
        reserves hedged. Kinross has the most leverage to changes of gold price
        of all North American based primary gold producers. Kinross operates and
        maintains joint venture interests in 12 gold mines located on four
        continents. Although global in reach, approximately 65% of Kinross gold
        production is from North America, the highest percentage of any senior
        North American based gold producer. Kinross' annualized gold production
        is expected to approach 2 million ounces per year at total cash cost of
        less than US$200 per ounce.

        Shareholders of both Echo Bay and TVX will become common shareholders of
        Kinross based on the exchange ratios of 0.1733 and 2.1667, respectively.
        On Monday, February 3, 2003 Kinross began trading on both the Toronto
        Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
        reflecting the

        three-for-one common share consolidation approved earlier by Kinross
        shareholders. To profile its newly acquired senior status, Kinross began
        trading on the NYSE and to mark the occasion, President and CEO, Robert
        (Bob) Buchan, joined by members of Kinross management, rang The Opening
        Bell(TM) on February 3, 2003. Bob Buchan, stated: "Although the primary
        market for Kinross common shares remains the TSX, the shifting of our
        U.S. listing to the NYSE is expected to increase the profile of Kinross
        for American and international investors. The American Stock Exchange
        has served Kinross and our U.S.-based shareholders very well and will
        continue to be the marketplace for the Echo Bay warrants that have now
        become exercisable into Kinross common shares on the terms described in
        the Kinross' Management Information Circular and Supplement."

        Item 6. Reliance on Section 75(3) of the Securities Act (Ontario) and
        analogous securities legislation of each of the other provinces of
        Canada.

        The foregoing accurately discloses the material change referred to
herein.

         DATED at Toronto this 6th day of February, 2003.
