          PROVIDES STATUS UPDATE ON LATE FILING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


SEPTEMBER 2, 2005... TORONTO, ONTARIO - KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION ("KINROSS" OR
THE "COMPANY") (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC)

Pursuant to the alternative information guidelines of the Ontario Securities
Commission ("OSC") Policy 57-603 and Canadian Securities Administrators Staff
Notice 57-301, Kinross is providing 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. There has been no new material development
since its last press release dated August 19, 2005.

Upon completion of this review 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 September 12, 2005.
