Kinross plans to develop the Dvoinoye operation as a larger underground mine, and to transport ore to the Kupol mill for processing, pursuant to an ore purchase agreement with Kinross&#8217; 75%-owned Chukotka Mining and Geological Company, the owner of the Kupol mine. By leveraging existing Kupol facilities, Kinross will eliminate the need for construction of an additional processing plant, and allow for treatment of Kupol ore with higher-grade Dvoinoye ore.</font></div>

The Company has also completed construction of a temporary camp and has selected an engineering firm to commence concept and pre-feasibility studies. Both the 2010 and the five-year exploration program, including an exploration decline, have been approved by government authorities. Exploration activities at site commenced in late June and Kinross expects to spend approximately US$5 million on exploration activities and US$15 million on other development activities in 2010. The Company also plans to complete the additional work necessary to report a Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (&#8220;NI 43-101&#8221;) compliant mineral resource estimate for the Dvoinoye deposit during 2010.</font></div>

Kinross expects Northern Gold&#8217;s current estimate to define a potential mineral deposit of approximately 3.5-3.9 million tonnes at an average grade of 17-19 g/t Au. This expectation is based on Northern Gold&#8217;s drill results, reserve estimates, and other information reviewed by Kinross. While Northern Gold has registered updated reserves for Dvoinoye to applicable Russian authorities under the Russian reserve and resource classification system, estimates have not yet been reported in accordance with NI 43-101.<font style="FONT-SIZE: 70%; VERTICAL-ALIGN: text-top"><a href="#ref.ID0EPFAC">1</a></font></font></div>
