          PROVIDES STATUS UPDATE ON LATE FILING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           COMPLETES REGULATORY REVIEW


OCTOBER 17, 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 2004 financial statements as a result of the review of the
accounting treatment for the goodwill associated with the TVX Gold/Echo Bay
merger.

Kinross has received notice that it has satisfactorily responded to all comments
from regulators regarding the new methodology for accounting for the assets
acquired in the merger. Accordingly, Kinross will hold a meeting of its Board of
Directors later this week to adopt the new methodology and approve the
unaudited, preliminary financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004
and the restated, comparative financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2003.

Following the Board's approval, Kinross will issue a press release with the
unaudited, preliminary 2004 and restated 2003 financial results and will hold a
conference call to discuss the results and the restatement. It is expected that
the restatement will result in a significant write down of goodwill in 2003.

Kinross then intends to file its 2003 and 2004 financial statements and the
quarterly financial statements for 2004 and 2005 and other required regulatory
filings as soon as possible.

In addition, Kinross will soon be announcing the date for the 2004 Annual and
Special Meeting, which is likely to be held in December.

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
October 24, 2005.
