            KINROSS ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF THOMAS M BOEHLERT AS CFO

TORONTO - KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC) ("Kinross" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Thomas M. Boehlert as
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Kinross.

Mr. Boehlert has more than 20 years experience in finance and banking. Most
recently, he was Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Texas
Genco of Houston, an independent electric power company. Prior to that, he was
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Direct Energy of
Toronto, a North American energy services company. Mr. Boehlert was also Senior
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Sithe Energies of New York, an
international independent electric power company. Mr. Boehlert spent 14 years as
a banker at Credit Suisse in New York and London where he was responsible for
covering energy companies and project finance activities.

Mr. Boehlert holds a B.A. in Accounting from Indiana University, an M.B.A.,
Finance from New York University and is a certified public accountant.

"Thomas Boehlert is an outstanding financial executive with an excellent track
record," said Tye Burt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kinross Gold
Corporation. "Attracting and retaining the industry's best people is part of our
four-point strategic plan for growth and Thomas is a great addition to our
team."

This appointment follows the April 7, 2006 retirement of Lars-Eric Johansson,
Kinross' Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since June 2004.
During Mr. Johansson's time with Kinross, he was instrumental in leading Kinross
through the accounting review process, purchase price reallocation and
impairment testing model development, and the resultant restatements. He will be
providing consultancy services to Kinross for several months.

"Lars-Eric has played a key role as Kinross has grown to be the third largest
primary gold producer in North America and most recently in establishing new
accounting methodologies and refocusing the company for the future," added Burt.
"The senior management and the Board of Directors wish to thank Lars-Eric
Johansson for his valuable contribution to the Company and wish him well in his
retirement."
