          Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross" or the "Company"),
          52nd Floor, 40 King St. West,
          Toronto, ON   M5H 3Y2

ITEM 3.   NEWS RELEASE

          News release was issued by Kinross in Toronto on April 28, 2005 with
          respect to the material change and filed via SEDAR.

ITEM 4.   SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CHANGE

          Kinross announced gold equivalent production for the first quarter
          2005, provided an operations update. In addition, Kinross also
          provided an update on the late filing of its financial statements.

ITEM 5.   FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGE

          Kinross announced that gold equivalent production for the first
          quarter 2005 was 410,480 gold equivalent ounces.

================================================================================

          At REFUGIO, we have been commissioning the project in stages and we
          expect to achieve a production rate of 40,000 tonnes per day in the
          second quarter of 2005. The power supply from the local electrical
          utility is coming up in phases with full power expected in the next
          few weeks. The total capital cost of the expansion was reviewed in
          late March and stands at $134 million.

          At PARACATU, we have been drilling exploration holes in the West of
          Rico Creek target with 140-meter spacings on the holes, a density
          sufficient to define resources. Further drilling will continue to
          define this target in order to move it toward a proven and probable
          category, while other drills will be focused on drilling in the pit
          and other step out targets. Assay results have been returned on six
          drill holes so far, and the grade, hardness, and metallurgy have all
          come back as expected. This drilling is needed to help finalize the
          detailed capacity study for the mine and mill expansion at Paracatu.
          The detailed capacity study will define the optimum economic
          throughput rate. We have committed $19 million in capital to the
          expansion program this year, and expect to have a final capital cost
          estimate in the fourth quarter of 2005.

          At ROUND MOUNTAIN, the final feasibility study on the pit expansion,
          intended to extend mine life, will be completed in June and presented
          to the joint venture partners for approval. The portal to drive a
          drift underground will begin in June and is expected to reach the
          underground exploration target in approximately 12 months.

          Overall, the PORCUPINE JOINT VENTURE had an excellent quarter with
          production around 18% ahead of plan, partly as a result of a change in
          accounting treatment. The Pamour pit development is well underway and
          equipment from the Dome pit has been moved to Pamour for assembly.
          Additionally, higher-grade mining from the Dome pit has allowed for
          Pamour ore delivery to the mill to be deferred until later in the
          year. Permitting for the Three Nations Lake diversion is well
          advanced.

          The PUREN deposit has been approved for development by the joint
          venture partners at LA COIPA, Chile. Puren is owned 65% by Mantos de
          Oro (MDO, a 50:50 joint venture with Placer Dome and Kinross) and 35%
          by Codelco of Chile. The project is expected to extend mine life at La
          Coipa by about two years. Kinross' share of capital expenditure is
          estimated to be approximately $8 million. Ore is expected to be
          trucked 8 km to the MDO mill for processing under a toll treatment
          arrangement.

          STATUS UPDATE ON LATE FILING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          Pursuant to the alternative information guidelines of the Ontario
          Securities Commission ("OSC") Policy 57-603 and Canadian Securities
          Administrators Staff Notice 57-301, 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 disclosed, Kinross has not yet filed its financial
          statements as a result of the review of the accounting treatment for
          the goodwill associated with the TVX Gold/Echo Bay merger. Kinross and
          its auditors are reviewing the models received from Standard and
          Poor's Corporate Value Consultants, per the update press release dated
          April 15, 2005, and assessing their impact on the financial
          statements. After initial review, Kinross has determined that
          additional work is needed to refine the valuation for exploration
          properties. When the review is complete the Company will incorporate
          the results into its financial statements for 2003 and 2004 and any
          affected interim statements. Upon completion of this process and the
          related audits the Company will complete its regulatory filings. We
          are issuing bi-weekly updates as to the status and timing which can be
          viewed on our website at WWW.KINROSS.COM. The next update is scheduled
          for the week of May 9, 2005.

          THIS MATERIAL CHANGE REPORT INCLUDES CERTAIN "FORWARD-LOOKING
          STATEMENTS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 21E OF THE UNITED STATES
          SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED. ALL STATEMENTS, OTHER
          THAN STATEMENTS OF HISTORICAL FACT, INCLUDED HEREIN, INCLUDING WITHOUT
          LIMITATION, STATEMENTS REGARDING KINROSS' FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ITS

          RESERVES, EXPLORATION RESULTS AND FUTURE PLANS AND OBJECTIVES OF
          KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION, ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE
          VARIOUS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT SUCH
          STATEMENTS WILL PROVE TO BE ACCURATE AND ACTUAL RESULTS AND FUTURE
          EVENTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY

          FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN SUCH STATEMENTS. ANY RESTATEMENT OF
          HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IS DEPENDANT ON THE OUTCOME OF THE
          INDEPENDENT VALUATION OF THE ACQUIRED ASSETS, AND KINROSS DOES NOT
          KNOW WHAT THAT OUTCOME WILL BE. OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD
          CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM KINROSS' EXPECTATIONS
          ARE DISCLOSED UNDER THE HEADING "RISK FACTORS" AND ELSEWHERE IN
          KINROSS' DOCUMENTS FILED FROM TIME TO TIME WITH THE CANADIAN
          SECURITIES REGULATORS, THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

          TECHNICAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS MATERIAL CHANGE REPORT HAS
          BEEN REVIEWED BY ROD COOPER, VICE PRESIDENT, TECHNICAL SERVICES FOR
          KINROSS, WHO IS A "QUALIFIED PERSON" UNDER NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101.

          TOTAL CASH COSTS ARE A NON-GAAP MEASURE INTENDED TO PROVIDE INVESTORS
          WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE OPERATING EFFICIENCY OF CURRENT MINING
          OPERATIONS. MANAGEMENT USES THIS MEASURE FOR THE SAME PURPOSE AND FOR
          MONITORING PERFORMANCE OF ITS GOLD MINING OPERATIONS. TOTAL CASH COSTS
          PER OUNCE IS A STANDARD GOLD MINING INDUSTRY MEASURE THAT WAS
          DEVELOPED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GOLD INSTITUTE IN AN EFFORT TO
          PROVIDE A LEVEL OF COMPARABILITY AMONG PRECIOUS METALS PRODUCERS. THIS
          MEASURE DIFFERS FROM EARNINGS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY
          ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ("GAAP") AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED
          IN ISOLATION OR A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE DETERMINED IN
          ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP. TOTAL CASH COSTS MAY REFLECT ADJUSTMENTS FOR
          ITEMS THAT ARE RECURRING SUCH AS CHANGE IN INVENTORY AND SITE
          RESTORATION COST ACCRUALS. A RECONCILIATION OF TOTAL CASH COSTS WITH
          OPERATING COSTS PER THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WILL BE
          PUBLISHED BY THE COMPANY ONCE ITS DECEMBER 31, 2004 YEAR END FINANCIAL
          STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE.
