(the&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Offer</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"). On September&nbsp;3, 2008, a total of 108,524,181&nbsp;Aurelian Shares were validly deposited at the expiry time of the Offer.
Kinross owned as a result a total of 123,524,181&nbsp;Aurelian Shares, representing approximately 74.8% of the Aurelian Shares on a fully-diluted basis, or 80.8% of the Aurelian Shares following the
completion of the exchange of the outstanding Aurelian employee stock options for replacement Kinross stock options in the manner contemplated by the terms of the&nbsp;Offer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Kinross
has also extended its Offer to enable those shareholders who had not yet tendered their Aurelian Shares to the Offer, to deposit their Aurelian Shares to the Offer. The Offer, as extended,

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>On
September&nbsp;4, 2008, Kinross announced that it had been successful in its bid to acquire Aurelian under its previously announced Offer. A total of 108,524,181&nbsp;Aurelian Shares were
validly deposited at the expiry time of the Offer. Kinross owned as a result a total of 123,524,181&nbsp;Aurelian Shares, representing approximately 74.8% of the Aurelian Shares on a fully-diluted
basis, or 80.8% following the completion of the exchange of the outstanding Aurelian employee stock options for replacement Kinross stock options in the manner contemplated by the terms of
the&nbsp;Offer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Kinross
has taken up these Aurelian Shares and payment for such deposited shares was made on September&nbsp;4, 2008. Kinross issued approximately 34.4&nbsp;million common shares and approximately
15.5&nbsp;million common share purchase warrants in respect of taking up the Aurelian Shares validly deposited at the expiry time of the&nbsp;Offer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Kinross
also extended the Offer to enable those shareholders who have not yet tendered their Aurelian Shares to the Offer, to deposit their Aurelian Shares to the Offer. The Offer, as extended, is
currently scheduled to expire at 6:00&nbsp;p.m. (Toronto time), on September&nbsp;15, 2008. If Kinross is successful in acquiring 90% of the Aurelian Shares under the Offer (excluding Aurelian
Shares previously owned by Kinross), Kinross intends to acquire all of the remaining Aurelian Shares by way of statutory compulsory acquisition. In the event that Kinross does not acquire 90% of the
Aurelian Shares under the Offer, it intends to acquire the remaining Aurelian Shares by way of a Subsequent Acquisition Transaction (as&nbsp;such term is defined in the&nbsp;Offer). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Aurelian
shareholders who tendered to the Offer will receive 0.317 of a Kinross common share and 0.1429 of a Kinross common share purchase warrant for each Aurelian Share tendered, subject in each
case to adjustment with respect to fractional shares. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Kinross common share purchase warrants issued pursuant to the Offer were listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "K.WT.C" on September&nbsp;8,&nbsp;2008. </FONT></P>
