            KINROSS ANNOUNCES COMMON SHARE OFFERING FROM TREASURY AND
           THE INTENT TO USE PROCEEDS TO REDEEM ITS 5.5% CONVERTIBLE
                       UNSECURED SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES


TORONTO, ONTARIO, AUGUST 11, 2003...KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION (TSX-K AND K.DB;
NYSE-KGC) ("KINROSS" OR THE "COMPANY") announced that is has entered into an
underwriting agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by CIBC World
Markets Inc. and Scotia Capital Inc., under which the underwriters have agreed
to buy and sell to the public 20 million Common Shares of the Company from
treasury. The Company has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to
an additional 15% of the offering at the same price until 30 days after closing.

The purchase price of Cdn. $9.26 per Common Share will result in gross proceeds
of Cdn. $185.2 million, assuming that the over-allotment option is not
exercised, and approximately Cdn. $213.0 million if the over-allotment option is
fully exercised. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to repurchase the
Company's outstanding issue of 5.5% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated
Debentures ("Convertible Debentures"). The transaction is subject to the receipt
of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals. Upon the closing of
the equity financing, expected on or about August 28, 2003, Kinross intends to
issue official notification of the redemption of 100% of the Company's
Convertible Debentures at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. The principal
amount of the Convertible Debentures outstanding is Cdn. $ 195.6 million and the
interest payments were paid up to date as of June 30, 2003, the last interest
payment date. Under the terms of redemption of the Convertible Debentures the
Company is obligated to give 30 days notice of redemption. Assuming the equity
financing closes on August 28, 2003, the 30-day official notification of
redemption of the Convertible Debentures will be issued immediately thereafter
and sufficient funds will be subsequently deposited with the transfer agent to
allow redemption payments for 100% of the Convertible Debentures outstanding to
begin on September 29, 2003. Consequently, by this schedule, the Convertible
Debentures will no longer appear as an obligation on the balance sheet of the
Company effective September 29, 2003.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This
press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
