(&#147;Kinross&#148;) </B>is pleased to announce that Kinross has been selected by
Standard &amp; Poor&#146;s to be added to the S&amp;P/TSX 60 and 60 Capped Indices,
effective after the close of business on Tuesday, February 11, 2003. Robert M. Buchan,
President &amp; CEO, stated: &#147;It is very gratifying that within ten years of the
formation of Kinross that our common shares have been included in the S&amp;P/TSX 60
Index, the premier large capitalization index in Canada. Kinross is now the seventh
largest primary gold producer in the world with annualized production approaching two
million ounces from 12 gold mines located on four continents. Although global in reach,
approximately two-thirds of this production is from operations in the United States and
Canada, the highest North American percentage of any senior gold producer.&#148; </FONT></P>
