                             MATERIAL CHANGE REPORT

      ITEM 1.     NAME AND ADDRESS OF COMPANY
                  Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross" or the "Company"),
                  52nd Floor, 40 King St. West,
                  Toronto, ON   M5H 3Y2

      ITEM 2.     DATE OF MATERIAL CHANGES
                  August 31 and September 8, 2006

      ITEM 3.     NEWS RELEASES
                  News releases were issued by Kinross in Toronto on August 31
                  and September 8, 2006 with respect to the material changes and
                  filed via SEDAR.

      ITEM 4.     SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CHANGE
                  The Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of
                  Crown Resources Corporation ("Crown") and had sold its holding
                  in Katanga Mining Limited.

      ITEM 5.     FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGE
                  On August 31, 2006, Kinross announced the completion of the
                  previously announced acquisition of Crown. The transaction
                  closed immediately following the Crown Special Meeting at
                  which the Crown shareholders voted in favour of the plan of
                  merger between Crown and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kinross.

                  The Buckhorn gold deposit owned by Crown is located in
                  north-central Washington State, USA, approximately 76
                  kilometers by road from Kinross' Kettle River gold milling
                  facility. Kinross is currently focused on obtaining the
                  necessary permits to proceed with building the Buckhorn
                  project. It is currently anticipated that construction will
                  begin in late 2006 with production expected to begin in late
                  2007.

                  Pursuant to the merger, shareholders of Crown will receive
                  0.32 of a Kinross common share for each share of Crown common
                  stock. Kinross will issue approximately 14.65 million common
                  shares in connection with the transaction. Upon submission of
                  their certificates representing shares of Crown common stock,
                  together with the requisite letters of transmittal which will
                  be mailed by Computershare Investor Services Inc., Crown
                  shareholders will be issued certificates representing the
                  number of Kinross common shares to which they are entitled
                  under the plan of merger based on the exchange ratio. No
                  fractional Kinross shares will be issued and Kinross will pay
                  cash in lieu thereof.

                  On September 8, 2006 Kinross announced that it had sold its
                  5,751,500 in Katanga Mining Limited for proceeds of
                  approximately Cdn. $35.9 million (CDN. $6.25 per share)
                  through a private placement.
