                Cautionary statements regarding forward-looking statements

                This document contains "forward-looking statements or
                information", within the meaning of the United States Private
                Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and similar Canadian
                legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial
                performance and condition of Kinross. Forward-looking statements
                are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the
                date such statements are made, and they are subject to known and
                unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
                the actual results, level of activity, performance or
                achievements of Kinross to be materially different from those
                expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements,
                including but not limited to risks related to: international
                operations; actual results of current reclamation activities;
                future prices of gold and commodities; possible variations in
                ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of plant,
                equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents,
                labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays
                in the completion of development activities, as well as those
                factors discussed in or referred to in the "Risk Factors" and
                elsewhere in Kinross' documents filed from time to time with the
                United States Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian
                securities regulatory authorities. Although management of
                Kinross has attempted to identify important factors that could
                cause actual results to differ materially from those contained
                in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that
                cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
                There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be
                accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
                materially from those anticipated in such statements.
                Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on
                forward-looking statements. Kinross does not undertake to update
                any forward-looking statements.
