                STATUS UPDATE ON LATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FILING

                     UPDATE ON ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

JUNE 24, 2005... TORONTO, ONTARIO - KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION ("KINROSS" OR THE
"COMPANY") (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC) provides a status update on the preparation and
filing of its financial statements and related matters.

As previously disclosed, Kinross has not yet filed its financial statements,
related management discussion and analysis and its annual information form as a
result of the review of the accounting treatment associated with the TVX
Gold/Echo Bay merger ("the merger").

Kinross and its advisors anticipate submitting a letter to U.S. and Canadian
regulators early next week responding to comments on the registration statement
filed by Kinross in connection with the proposed acquisition of Crown Resources
Corporation. Included in the response letter are the finalized independent
valuations of the assets acquired in the TVX/Echo Bay merger and related
documents and opinions from independent advisors and valuators.

Kinross will begin filing audited financial statements after the regulators have
issued their final comments on our accounting methodology, our auditors have
signed off on our financial statements, and the financial statements have been
approved by our board of directors.

The previously announced application to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
for an order extending the time for Kinross to hold its 2005 annual meeting of
shareholders beyond June 30, 2005 was heard today. The postponement was sought
because, until such time as the 2004 audited financial statements of Kinross are
completed, Kinross is not in a position to satisfy the requirement of the
Business Corporations Act (Ontario) that such financial statements be placed
before the shareholders at the annual meeting. The Court granted an order
extending the time for holding the annual meeting of shareholders to a date no
later than December 31, 2005, subject to any further order of the Court. Kinross
intends to hold its annual shareholders' meeting as soon as possible after its
2004 audited financial statements are completed and available for mailing.

We are issuing bi-weekly updates as to the status and timing which can be viewed
on our website. The next update is scheduled for the week of July 8, 2005.
