ITEM 1.   NAME AND ADDRESS OF COMPANY
          Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross" or the "Company"),
          52nd Floor, 40 King St. West,
          Toronto, ON   M5H 3Y2

ITEM 2.   DATE OF MATERIAL CHANGE
          June 1, 2005

ITEM 3.   NEWS RELEASE
          News release was issued by Kinross in Toronto on June 1, 2005 with
          respect to the material change and filed via SEDAR.

ITEM 4.   SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CHANGE
          The company announced it had signed an amendment with Crown Resources
          Corporation to extend the termination date of the Definitive
          Acquisition Agreement, the change in the exchange ratio for shares to
          be paid to the Crown shareholders and the purchase of a U.S. $10
          million convertible debenture from Crown for corporate purposes.

ITEM 5.   FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGE
          Kinross announced that it has signed an amendment (the "Amendment")
          with Crown Resources Corporation ("Crown") to extend the termination
          date of the definitive acquisition agreement (the "Agreement") and
          adjust the price that Kinross will pay to acquire Crown and its
          100%-owned Buckhorn Mountain gold deposit located in north central
          Washington State, USA. With this Amendment, the termination date of
          the Agreement has been extended to March 31, 2006, subject to Kinross
          filing its financial statements no later than December 31, 2005. The
          transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, a minimum two-thirds
          approval at a special meeting of Crown shareholders and other
          customary closing conditions. Both parties are working to close the
          transaction as rapidly as possible.

          Under the terms of the Amendment, shareholders of Crown will receive
          0.34 shares of Kinross for each share of Crown, an increase of 0.0489
          over the original exchange ratio of 0.2911. A valuation collar has
          also been agreed upon in which the aggregate maximum value of Kinross
          common shares to be issued to Crown shareholders is US$110 million and
          the minimum value is US$77.5 million, excluding shares held by
          Kinross.

          Kinross has also agreed to purchase a US$10.0 million convertible
          debenture (the "Debenture") from Crown. The Debenture is convertible
          into 5.8 million shares of Crown. In the event the Agreement is
          terminated, Crown shall have the right to convert all amounts due
          under this Debenture by providing 30 days prior notice to Kinross.

          Assuming all of the outstanding Crown warrants and options are
          converted, a total of approximately 16.6 million common shares of
          Kinross will be issued upon the completion of the transaction.

          The Buckhorn Mountain gold deposit is a high-grade skarn gold deposit
          located 240 kilometres northwest of Spokane, Washington, approximately
          67 kilometers by road from Kinross' Kettle River gold milling
          facility. As at December 31, 2003, Crown had reported total proven and
          probable reserves of approximately 2.8 million tonnes grading 11 grams
          per tonne gold and other mineralization of 0.4 million tonnes grading
          16 grams per tonne gold as reported in the technical report prepared
          by SRK Consulting dated December 2003. The technical report containing
          information about reserves and resources is compliant with Canadian
          National Instrument 43-101, was filed on SEDAR on December 5, 2003 and
          can be found under Kinross' profile at www.sedar.com. With the
          assistance of an independent consulting engineering firm, Kinross is
          currently updating the Buckhorn Mountain reserve and mineralized
          material estimates.
