In view of the industry-wide escalation in project capital and operating costs, and given the Company&#8217;s increased understanding of the Tasiast orebody and potential for alternative mining and processing rates and sequences, Kinross has elected to conduct a comprehensive capital and project optimization process with the aim of improving capital efficiency, project sequencing, and investment returns. The objectives of the project optimization process are to efficiently advance development of these three projects, generate enhanced returns on capital, and maximize shareholder value, while maintaining a strong balance sheet and investment grade ratings.</font></div>

Forward-looking statements in this news release include, without limitation, future or possible events, statements with respect to future or possible events, and expected production and cost of sales levels, final 2011 and anticipated 2012 capital expenditure and operating cost levels, the forecast 2012 tax rate, and the outcome of the Company`s capital and project optimization process. The words &#8220;aims&#8221;, &#8220;anticipates&#8221;, &#8220;expects&#8217;&#8217;, &#8220;estimate&#8217;&#8217;, &#8216;&#8216;forecast&#8217;&#8217;, &#8220;guidance&#8221;, &#8220;intend&#8221;, &#8220;objective&#8221; or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results &#8220;may&#8221;, &#8220;could&#8221; or &#8220;will&#8221; be, occur, result or be taken, achieved or provided in the future, and similar expressions, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Kinross as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, and may prove to be incorrect.&#160;&#160;The estimates and assumptions of Kinross referenced, contained or incorporated by reference in this news release, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the various assumptions set forth in this news release and in our most recently filed Annual Information Form and our most recently filed Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis, as well as : (1) there being no significant disruptions affecting the operations of the Company, whether due to labour disruptions, supply disruptions, power disruptions, damage to equipment or otherwise; (2) permitting, development, operations, expansion and acquisitions at Paracatu (including, without limitation, land acquisitions and permitting for the construction and operation of the new tailings facility) being consistent with our current expectations; (3)&#160;development of and production from the Phase 7 pit expansion and heap leach project at Fort Knox continuing on a basis consistent with Kinross<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#8223;</font> current expectations; (4) the viability, permitting and development of the Fruta del Norte deposit being consistent with Kinross<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#8223;</font> current expectations; (5) the development of the Dvoinoye deposit being consistent with Kinross&#8217; expectations; (6) the viability, permitting, development and expansion of the Tasiast and Chirano mines on a basis consistent with Kinross&#8217; current expectations; (7) the viability, permitting and development of the Lobo-Marte project, including, without limitation, the metallurgy and processing of its ore, being consistent with our current expectations; (8) political and legal developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates being consistent with its current expectations including, without limitation, the implementation of Ecuador&#8217;s new mining and investment laws and related regulations and policies, and negotiation of an exploitation contract and an investment protection contract with the government, being consistent with Kinross&#8217; current expectations; (9) the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Chilean peso, Russian rouble, Mauritanian ouguiya, Ghanaian cedi and the U.S. dollar being approximately consistent with current levels; (10)&#160;certain price assumptions for gold and silver, and natural gas, fuel oil, electricity and other key supplies, being approximately consistent with the Company&#8217;s expectations; (11) production, cost of sales and capital expenditure estimates and forecasts for the Company meeting expectations; (12) the accuracy of the current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates of the Company; (13) labour and materials costs increasing on a basis consistent with Kinross&#8217; current expectations; and (14) access to debt capital markets, including but not limited to securing project financing for the Dvoinoye, Fruta del Norte and the Tasiast expansion projects, being consistent with the Company&#8217;s current expectations. Although Kinross believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by the forward-looking statements and information set forth in this news release are reasonable, there can be no assurance that a forward-looking statement or information herein will prove to be accurate. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the currency markets; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain other commodities (such as natural gas, diesel fuel and electricity); changes in interest rates or gold or silver lease rates that could impact the mark-to-market value of outstanding derivative instruments and ongoing payments/receipts under any interest rate swaps and variable</font></div>
