                STATUS UPDATE ON LATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FILING


JULY 22, 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 audited financial
statements and related management's discussion and analysis or its annual
information form as a result of the review of the accounting treatment for the
assets acquired in the TVX Gold/Echo Bay merger ("the Merger").

Kinross has submitted a letter to U.S. and Canadian regulators responding to
comments on the registration statement filed by Kinross in connection with the
proposed acquisition of Crown Resources Corporation. Included with the response
letter are the independent valuations of the assets acquired in the Merger and
related documents and opinions from independent advisors and valuators.

If accepted, the proposed accounting methodology that is being reviewed by
regulators would lead to a significant restatement of Kinross' results for 2003.
Kinross has recently been notified by the staff of the enforcement division of
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it will request additional
documents from Kinross shortly in connection with an informal inquiry focused on
Kinross' accounting for the Merger and the potential restatement.

Kinross will file audited financial statements after the relevant regulators
have issued their final comments on the accounting treatment for the assets
acquired in the Merger, the auditors have signed off on the financial
statements, and the financial statements have been approved by Kinross' board of
directors.

Kinross will issue bi-weekly updates as to the status and timing which can be
viewed on the website at www.kinross.com. The next update is scheduled for the
week of August 1, 2005.
