              KINROSS ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF GEOFFREY P. GOLD AS
                               CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER

TORONTO - KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC) ("Kinross" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Geoffrey P. Gold as Senior
Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of Kinross effective May 24, 2006.

With more than 12 years in the mining industry, Mr. Gold has extensive
experience (both domestic and international) in the oversight, management and
resolution of material legal issues (corporate and operational). He joins
Kinross from Placer Dome where he was most recently Vice President, Assistant
Secretary and Associate General Counsel.

Mr. Gold completed his bachelor of laws and a bachelor of commerce (with
honours) from the University of British Columbia and was called to the bar in
1990. He also served five years in private practice as an Associate with the
Vancouver law firm Bull, Houser & Tupper.

"Our four-point plan includes attracting and retaining the best people in the
industry and Geoff is an example of our success in strengthening the Kinross
leadership team. Kinross will benefit from Geoff's experience and leadership in
strategic development and financial transactions as well as his excellence in
corporate governance and transparency."

This appointment follows the May 30, 2006 retirement of John Ivany, Executive
Vice President for Kinross. Mr. Ivany has been with Kinross since 1995 and has
been instrumental in growing Kinross to become the third largest primary gold
producer in North America.

"John has played a key role in Kinross' growth through strong leadership and
guidance. His wisdom and experience will be missed," added Mr. Burt. "Senior
management and the Board of Directors wish to thank John for his valuable
contribution to the Company and wish him well in his retirement."
