                                                                   PRESS RELEASE


                STATUS UPDATE ON LATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FILING


AUGUST 19, 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"). On June 26, 2005
Kinross submitted a letter to the United States Securities & Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") 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 were the independent valuations
of the assets acquired in the Merger and related documents and opinions from
independent advisors and valuators.

As noted previously, Kinross received comments from the SEC in connection with
the above-mentioned response letter requesting clarification of certain items
included in that submission. This week Kinross filed its response to these
latest SEC comments.

Kinross will file audited financial statements after it has satisfied all of the
comments issued by the relevant regulators, 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 29, 2005.

THIS PRESS RELEASE 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 THE KINROSS'
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ITS FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003, POTENTIAL
MINERALIZATION AND 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

<PAGE>

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 TORONTO STOCK
EXCHANGE, THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND OTHER
REGULATORY AUTHORITIES.
