             KINROSS WILL NOT PROCEED WITH TSOKOL DEPOSIT IN RUSSIA
          DECISION DOES NOT AFFECT CURRENT MINING OPERATIONS IN RUSSIA

JANUARY 25, 2005...TORONTO, ONTARIO - KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC)
("Kinross" or the "Company") informed employees and local government officials
that it would not proceed with the development of the Tsokol vein located near
the Kubaka mill. Tsokol represented roughly 158,000 oz. of proven and probable
reserves in Kinross' December 31, 2003 reserve report. These reserves will be
reclassified as resources in 2004.

Omolon management is currently re-working their mine plans based on this
announcement. Should closure of the Kubaka operation become the best
alternative, this would take place only after completing the mining and milling
of the Birkachan open pit and Central Zone Kubaka underground ore body, and the
milling of the existing Kubaka stockpiles. This would provide feed for the mill
for approximately 12 months. Closure would take place over an additional
12-month period. Development of the Birkachan underground deposit is still being
considered.

Contrary to recent reports in the Russian and Canadian press, the decision
reached was not due to deteriorating relations with the Magadan Administration,
but due to insufficient return on the investment in the Tsokol project. The
decision was influenced, however, by what Kinross perceives to be an
unpredictable tax climate.
