              KINROSS ANNOUNCES LATE FILING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


MARCH 16, 2005...TORONTO, ONTARIO - KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC)
("Kinross" or the "Company") announces that it will not be able to meet the
deadline of March 31, 2005 for the filing of its 2004 audited financial
statements and related management discussion and analysis of financial condition
("MD&A").

As previously announced, Kinross is reviewing its purchase price allocation and
the goodwill recorded as part of the 2003 business combination with TVX Gold
Inc. and Echo Bay Mines Ltd. In this connection, Kinross retained Standard &
Poor's Corporate Value Consulting, as independent valuator, to provide the
requisite valuations. Standard & Poor's has advised Kinross that it expects to
complete its work shortly and to provide a final report in early April.

Upon receipt of the valuator's final report, management and the Company's
advisors will conduct a review of the contents of the report and determine its
impact on the Company's financial statements. This will also require the
concurrence of the Company's auditors on the allocation of the purchase price,
the allocation of goodwill, impairment testing methodology and the subsequent
results of the goodwill impairment tests. Once the Company is in a position to
reflect the appropriate treatment of the goodwill in its financial statements,
the Company may have to restate its 2003 audited financial statements and any
affected interim financial statements, and it will release its 2004 audited
financial statements and related MD&A. Kinross is committed to publishing its
financial statements and related MD&A as soon as possible.

Pending the filing of its financial statements and MD&A, the Company intends to
satisfy the alternative information guidelines recommended by Ontario Securities
Commission ("OSC") Policy 57-603 and Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA")
Staff Notice 57-301. The Company will request from the Canadian securities
regulators, that a management cease trade order related to the Company's
securities be imposed against some or all persons who have been directors,
officers or insiders of the Company, which cease trade order would generally not
affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders
of the Company to trade in the Company's securities.
