                      KINROSS PROVIDES UPDATE ON STATUS OF
              LATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FILING AND RELATED MATTERS


APRIL 1, 2005... TORONTO, ONTARIO - KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION ("KINROSS" OR THE
"COMPANY") (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC)

As indicated previously, pending the filing of its 2004 year end audited
financial statements and related MD&A, Kinross will satisfy the alternative
information guidelines of the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") Policy
57-603 and Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 57-301, pursuant to
which Kinross will provide bi-weekly updates to the market regarding the process
relating to the preparation and filing of its financial statements and related
matters, until such time as Kinross is current with its filing obligations under
Canadian securities laws.

As previously announced, the Company has hired an independent valuation team,
Standard & Poor's Corporate Value Consulting, to provide valuations with respect
to the purchase price allocation and goodwill that arose from the 2003 business
combination with TVX Gold Inc. and Echo Bay Mines Ltd. Kinross anticipates
receiving the final valuation report next week. Upon receipt, management will
incorporate the results into the Company's financial statements for both 2003
and 2004 and thereafter the auditors will have to complete their audit before
the statements can be issued.

Following Kinross' request, as discussed in the March 16, 2005 press release,
the OSC has issued a management cease trade order, as is normal course, that
prohibits all trading by certain individuals who are or have been directors,
officers and other insiders of Kinross. These individuals have been notified of
the issuance of the cease trade order. This temporary order does not impact
shareholders who are not directors, officers or insiders of the Company.

Kinross will not be able to file its Annual Information Form ("AIF") due to the
delay in filing Kinross' audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2004 not being filed by March 31, 2005. Kinross will file its AIF
concurrently with its audited financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2004 when they become available.
