             KINROSS SELLS AQUARIUS PROJECT TO ST ANDREW GOLDFIELDS

DECEMBER 29, 2005... TORONTO, ONTARIO - KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION ("KINROSS" OR
THE "COMPANY") (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC) today announced that it has entered into a
definitive agreement with St Andrew Goldfields (TSX-SAS) ("St Andrew") to
exchange Kinross' Aquarius Project located in Timmins, Ontario for 100 million
common shares of St Andrew (approximately 14% undiluted ownership stake in St
Andrew) plus 25 million two year warrants on St Andrew common shares with an
exercise price of 17 cents.

St Andrew operates the Stock Gold Complex approximately 7 kilometers from the
Aquarius Project. Tye Burt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kinross
said, "the economics of the Aquarius Project should be enhanced by synergies
with St Andrew's nearby operations. As a new shareholder, we also see long-term
potential for St Andrew's extensive land positions in the Timmins camp."

The transaction is contingent on St Andrew posting satisfactory financial
assurance bonding relating to the Aquarius Project and is expected to close in
the first half of 2006. As a result Kinross will record a US$40 million non-cash
charge to third quarter 2005 earnings in connection with the transaction which
includes approximately US$10 million of goodwill.
