So far in 2010, measured and indicated mineral resources at Tasiast have increased by approximately 2.74 million gold ounces, and inferred mineral resources have increased by 0.63 million ounces, a remarkable rate for mineral resource additions,&#8221; said President and CEO Tye Burt. &#8220;We expect to add significant further new resources following the closing of the transaction, by increasing the number of drill rigs at Tasiast and accelerating the current drilling campaign to delineate the high-grade zone at depth,&#8221; he added.</font></div>

Kinross plans to accelerate drilling at Tasiast with the expectation of providing an upgraded NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate by February 2011.&#160;&#160;Planned exploration activities will focus on expected delineation of additional mineral resources laterally and at depth in the Greenschist Zone, a new style of gold mineralization discovered at Tasiast in July 2009. Kinross has based this current estimate on the extensive geological and technical due diligence un
dertaken by its internal and external experts over the six months preceding announcement of the transaction.</font></div>

Geologic modeling by Kinross&#8217; technical experts indicates that the zone plunges gently south consistent with mineralization in other ore bodies mined along the eight kilometre Tasiast deposit. Based on strong continuity of Greenschist geology both locally and in the district, Kinross believes that gold mineralization will continue laterally and at depth in the same direction. The Tasiast deposit is located in the apex of a shallow plunging anticline in the hanging-wall of an adjacent major fault. The geologic archi
tecture is analogous to trap sites for major gold deposits in similar greenstone belt settings such as those observed at Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton of Australia and at Timmins in the Superior Craton of Canada.</font></div>

Statements representing managemen
t&#8217;s financial, stock market and other outlook have been prepared solely for purposes of expressing their current views regarding the Company&#8217;s such outlook and may not be appropriate for any other purpose. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect, and could cause, Kinross&#8217; actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#8208;</font>looking statement made by, or on behalf of, Kinross. There can be no assurance that forward looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
