                     KINROSS ANNOUNCES IMPROVED EARNINGS AND
                     CASH FLOW FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2004

OCTOBER 28, 2004...TORONTO, ONTARIO - KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC)
("Kinross" or the "Company") announced today the unaudited results for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2004, as follows:


================================================================================
THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
(US DOLLARS, UNAUDITED)

o    Earnings of $9.4 million, or $0.03 per share, for the third quarter and
     $29.2 million, or $0.08 per share, for the first nine months of 2004.

o    Cash flow provided from operating activities of $62.5 million.

o    Cash and short-term investments increased $26.2 million to $213.9 million.

o    Production of 412,196 gold equivalent ounces at total cash costs1 of $239
     per ounce. Annual production target of approximately 1.7 million gold
     equivalent ounces at total cash costs in the range of $235 to $240.

o    Capital expenditures of $46.9 million in the third quarter, $109.7 million
     in the first nine months. Total expenditures expected to be $167.9 million
     for the year.
================================================================================


1.   TOTAL CASH COSTS PER EQUIVALENT OUNCE OF GOLD IS FURNISHED TO PROVIDE
     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND IS A NON-GAAP MEASURE. THIS MEASURE SHOULD NOT
     BE CONSIDERED IN ISOLATION AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE
     PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND IS
     NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF OPERATING EXPENSES AS DETERMINED UNDER
     GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. THIS MEASURE IS INTENDED TO
     PROVIDE INVESTORS WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE CASH GENERATING CAPABILITIES
     (REALIZED REVENUE, NET OF TOTAL CASH COSTS PER OUNCE) OF THE MINING
     OPERATIONS. THE COMPANY USES THIS INFORMATION FOR THE SAME PURPOSE AND FOR
     ASSESSING THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS MINING OPERATIONS. MINING OPERATIONS ARE
     CAPITAL INTENSIVE. THE MEASURE TOTAL CASH COSTS EXCLUDES CAPITAL
     EXPENDITURES BUT IS RECONCILED BELOW TO TOTAL OPERATING COSTS FOR EACH
     MINE. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES REQUIRE THE USE OF CASH IN THE CURRENT PERIOD,
     AND IN PRIOR PERIODS AND ARE DISCUSSED IN THE COMPANY'S FILINGS.

Scott Caldwell, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer said,
"Operating costs are coming in a little higher than we expected at the start of
the year, primarily due to higher fuel costs and higher costs for grinding media
and reagents. Through our continuous improvement program, we are always looking
for ways to reduce costs and reduce our use of materials in our processes. We
are also focusing on putting the buying power of all our operations together in
order to get better pricing on the items we use. As a result of these cost
pressures, total cash costs are expected to be in the $235 - $240 range for
2004."

================================================================================================================================
</TABLE>

Mining revenue of $175.5 million in the third quarter of 2004 was higher than
the $153.8 million recorded in the same period of 2003 primarily as a result of
the 8% increase in realized gold price and increased sales.

Operating costs increased 5% to $113.0 million in the third quarter of 2004 as
compared with the third quarter of 2003 due to higher fuel and power costs and
the impact of the exchange rates on non-US dollar based operating costs.

The following table reconciles operating costs per consolidated financial
statements to total cash costs per equivalent ounce of gold presented above.

NON-GAAP MEASURE, PLEASE REFER TO FOOTNOTE 1 ON PAGE 1 AND THE "TOTAL CASH COSTS
RECONCILIATION" TABLE ON PAGE 3 OF THIS PRESS RELEASE.

NORTH AMERICA

Total cash costs in the first nine months of 2004 at Kinross' Canadian mines
(Porcupine, New Britannia and Musselwhite) were higher compared to the same
period 2003 as a result of the appreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to
the US dollar. Rising fuel costs also negatively affected total cash costs at
all of Kinross' sites for the third quarter and year to date.

Gold production at FORT KNOX, Alaska, was slightly above plan for the third
quarter and year to date primarily as a result of better than anticipated grades
and recovery. Production for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004,
respectively, were 16% and 21% lower when compared to the corresponding periods
in 2003. The decrease in production resulted mainly from the suspension of
mining at True North in the first half of 2004. Rising fuel and energy costs and
lower production contributed to the increase in total cash costs for the third
quarter and year to date 2004.

Gold equivalent production at ROUND MOUNTAIN for the third quarter was at its
highest level to date. The mine achieved this milestone through improvements to
the leaching process and increased mill throughput despite encountering slightly
lower grades and recovery. Year to date gold equivalent production was
approximately 9% higher than the same period in 2003 as a result of more ore
being placed on the dedicated leach pads to offset milling and crushing
limitations experienced following the failure of an electrical transformer in
July of 2003, which was placed back into service in the beginning of February of
2004. Total cash costs for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 were
higher than similar periods in 2003 as a result of increased fuel, power and
reagent prices and royalty payments due to the improved gold price.

At PORCUPINE gold equivalent production for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2004 was lower than the corresponding period of 2003 as a result of
cessation of mining operations at the Dome underground which was partially
offset by higher grades encountered at the Hoyle underground and Dome open pit
mines. Total cash costs for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 were
higher reflecting the impact of higher fuel costs and the stronger Canadian
dollar versus the US dollar. Operating performance was better than expected for
the first nine months with production being essentially on plan and total cash
costs being slightly below plan. Construction is proceeding well, with new leach
tanks completed, and the new ore haul road between the Dome mine and Pamour is
scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Increased gold equivalent production at MUSSELWHITE in the third quarter and
first nine months of 2004 compared with the same periods in 2003 is due to
increased mill throughput which more than offset lower than expected grades and
recoveries encountered in the second quarter.


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kinross Gold Corporation                             Third Quarter Press Release
                                                                          Page 4

<PAGE>

At KETTLE RIVER lower than plan grades and mill tonnage from stockpile
contributed to the shortfall in production and higher than expected total cash
costs. More challenging ground conditions than expected in the first quarter and
ground support costs, higher fuel and other consumable costs negatively impacted
year to date production and total cash costs.

SOUTH AMERICA

Gold equivalent production at LA COIPA decreased in the third quarter as
compared to the same period in 2003 as a result of lower grades and recoveries,
partially offset by increased throughput. Total cash costs increased 22% as a
result of higher in-pit mining of waste rock (stripping). Kinross' accounting
policy of expensing and not deferring these stripping costs pushed total cash
costs up in the third quarter this year compared to 2003. If stripping costs had
been deferred, total cash costs at La Coipa would have been lower by
approximately $69 per ounce in the third quarter and $36 per ounce year to date.
Stripping costs are expected to rise further in the fourth quarter of 2004, and
remain high through 2005.

Gold production for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 at CRIXAS
was essentially in line with 2003 results. The increase in total cash costs for
the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 reflect changes in ore grade and
lower plant throughput, which were partially offset by higher recovery rates.

RUSSIA

Inclement weather delays and a planned six-week shutdown of the mill at KUBAKA
affected gold equivalent production in the third quarter and first nine months
of 2004 compared to the same periods of 2003. The increase in total cash costs
in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 compared to the same periods
of 2003 reflect lower ounces processed as well as the impact of higher
transportation costs, equipment supplies and mill consumables, partially offset
by lower property taxes. High-grade ore from the Birkachan pit and increased
mill feed in the fourth quarter of the 2004 will improve production and total
cash costs at Kubaka. Construction of an all season road allowing Birkachan ore
to be transported to the Kubaka processing facility is expected to be completed
early in the fourth quarter of 2004.

EXPLORATION

The ROUND MOUNTAIN pit expansion drill program is now 85% complete. To the end
of the third quarter, 139 holes totaling over 100,000 feet of reverse
circulation and core drilling has been completed testing the two million ounce
inferred resource halo that surrounds the current ultimate pit. Five target
areas have been tested including the Phase D (West Wall), South Feeder, Pit
Bottom, Kelsey Canyon and Fairview area. Results have generally been positive
with thick intercepts of strong mineralization reported in the west pit wall
area. This phase of the drilling program will be completed in October and
results will be incorporated into the end of year reserve and resource
assessment.

At FORT KNOX drilling continued to provide very encouraging results. In-pit
drilling completed in the summer included seven holes in the vicinity of the
high-grade zones previously outlined in hole FFC04-716 as disclosed. The new
drilling defined a previously unknown mineralized structure. Around the southern
and western edges of the pit, holes have encountered new mineralization and
drilling will continue in the fourth quarter.

At the GURUPI PROJECT, six drills continued to operate in the third quarter.
Work focused on completing the in-fill drilling on the Cipoeiro and Chega Tudo
deposits and testing exploration targets elsewhere on the property. AMEC has
been commissioned to complete a feasibility study on the project, scheduled for
completion by the end of the first quarter of 2005.

Exploration activity continued at Kinross funded Joint Ventures. HOYLE POND
continued to deliver encouraging results from both the A vein discovery and UM
target areas and drilling of the PAMOUR Saddle Zone returned wide ore grade
hits.

Elsewhere, exploration campaigns at Musselwhite, Crixas and La Coipa continued
to show promise.

Total capital expenditures         109.8           58.1      167.9
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30 were $46.9 million,
and for the nine months ended September 30 expenditures were $109.7 million.
Capital expenditures at the Refugio project were much lower than plan due to
timing issues. Full plant production is expected to be achieved by the first
quarter of 2005. This cost increase is related solely to the delay in startup we
are experiencing, and the cost of the operation prior to startup. Expenditures
at Porcupine were also lower than plan.

OUTLOOK

During the first nine months of 2004, Kinross' production was marginally better
than plan. While the Company is facing cost pressures from energy prices and
consumables, Kinross is working hard to keep the impact of these cost increases
to a minimum. Based on the results of the nine months vs. plan, the Company
expects to produce approximately 1.7 million ounces of gold equivalent
production for 2004. Based on the volatility in fuel and power costs, the
expectation for full year total cash costs is now in the range of $235 - $240
per ounce.

Reserve replacement and growth is a key focus, and Kinross expects to increase
reserves for the Company this year. Growth will come from the Gurupi project in
Brazil and from completing the merger with Crown Resources, which is expected to
be completed by the end of the fourth quarter.

Overall, capital expenditures are expected to increase marginally over previous
guidance of $165.0 million to $167.9 million.
