expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this prospectus. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, possible events, statements with respect to possible events, the
future price of gold and silver, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve and resource estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production,
costs of production, expected capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration, development and mining activities, permitting time lines, currency

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance with applicable Canadian securities regulatory requirements, all mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates of
Kinross incorporated by reference in this prospectus have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument&nbsp;43-101&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Standards of Disclosure
for Mineral Projects ("NI&nbsp;43-101"), classified in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy and Petroleum's "CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves
Definitions and Guidelines" (the&nbsp;"CIM Guidelines"). The definitions of mineral reserves and mineral resources are set out in our disclosure of our mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates
that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with
NI&nbsp;43-101 and the CIM Guidelines. These definitions differ from the definitions in the SEC Industry Guide 7&nbsp;under the Securities Act ("SEC&nbsp;Industry Guide 7"). Under
SEC Industry Guide 7&nbsp;standards, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves. The three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow
analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate government authority. In addition, Kinross uses the terms "mineral resources,"
"measured mineral resources," "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." While those terms are recognized by Canadian securities regulatory authorities, they are not recognized by
the SEC. Pursuant to the CIM Guidelines, mineral resources have a higher degree of uncertainty than mineral reserves as to their existence as well as their economic and legal feasibility. Inferred
mineral resources, when compared with measured or indicated mineral resources, have the least certainty as to their existence, and it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral
resource will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource as a result of continued exploration. Pursuant to NI&nbsp;43-101, inferred mineral resources may not form the basis
of any economic analysis, including any feasibility study. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral resource exists, will ever be converted into a mineral
reserve, or is or will ever be economically or legally mineable or&nbsp;recovered. </FONT></P>

<FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross" and the "Company") is the seventh largest gold producer in the world based on 2011 production volumes. Our market
capitalization was approximately $11.1&nbsp;billion as at March&nbsp;31, 2012. Based in Toronto, Ontario, Kinross was formed in 1993 from three predecessor mining companies, and now owns or has a
joint venture interest in 10&nbsp;operating mines and five development projects in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Russia, West Africa and the United&nbsp;States. We currently employ approximately
8,230&nbsp;people. The Company has approximately 62.6&nbsp;million ounces of gold, 84.9&nbsp;million ounces of silver and 1.4&nbsp;billion pounds of copper in proven and probable mineral
reserves based on our mineral reserve and resource statement which we refer to in our Form&nbsp;40-F for the period ended December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2011.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012, we had revenues of $1.0&nbsp;billion and net earnings attributed to common shareholders of $105.7&nbsp;million, with attributable
gold-equivalent production of 604,247&nbsp;ounces.

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011, we had revenues of $3.9&nbsp;billion and a net loss attributed to common shareholders of $2.1&nbsp;billion, with attributable
gold-equivalent production of 2.6&nbsp;million ounces. The net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.1&nbsp;billion included the impact of a $2.9&nbsp;billion
non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to Tasiast and Chirano. Our principal product is gold, produced in the form of dor&eacute; that we send to refineries for final
processing. As a by-product, we also produce limited amounts of silver (primarily from our La Coipa mine in Chile and our Kupol mine in Russia), which is converted into gold equivalents
for reporting purposes based on relative market&nbsp;prices. </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of March&nbsp;31, 2012, we had an aggregate consolidated indebtedness outstanding of approximately $1,617.8&nbsp;million. We also had an additional $222.0&nbsp;million in
letters of credit issued. In addition, our non-guarantor subsidiaries and joint ventures had indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables and excluding intercompany
obligations, of $1,692.5&nbsp;million, all of which ranked senior to the New&nbsp;Notes. As a result of this indebtedness, we are required to use a material portion of our cash flow to service
principal and interest on our debt, which will limit the cash flow available for other business opportunities.

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
New&nbsp;Notes will be issued by Kinross, which is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries, which are
incorporated in various jurisdictions, including Chile, Brazil, and the Provinces of Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. In the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or a similar event, proceedings could
be initiated in any of these jurisdictions and in the jurisdiction of organization of a future guarantor of the New&nbsp;Notes. Your rights under the New&nbsp;Notes and the Guarantor Subsidiaries'
Guarantees will thus be subject to the laws of several jurisdictions, and you may not be able to effectively enforce your rights in multiple bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar proceedings.
Moreover, such multi-jurisdictional proceedings are typically complex and costly for creditors and often result in substantial uncertainty and delay in the enforcement of creditors' rights. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, the bankruptcy, insolvency, administrative, and other laws of the respective Guarantor Subsidiaries' jurisdictions of incorporation may be materially different from, or in
conflict with, one another and those of the United&nbsp;States in certain areas, including creditors' rights, priority of creditors, the ability to obtain post-petition interest and the
duration of the insolvency proceeding. The application of these various laws in multiple jurisdictions could trigger disputes over which jurisdictions' law should apply and could adversely affect your
ability to enforce your rights and to collect payment in full under the New&nbsp;Notes, the guarantees and any&nbsp;security. </FONT></P>

fraudulent transfer law. In a recent Florida bankruptcy case, this kind of provision was found to be ineffective to protect guarantees. In addition, enforcement of any of these Guarantees against any
Guarantor Subsidiary will be subject to certain defenses available to guarantors generally. These laws and defenses include those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference,
financial assistance, corporate purpose or benefit, preservation of share capital, thin capitalization and regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally. If one or more of these
laws and defenses are applicable, a Guarantor Subsidiary may have no liability or decreased liability under its&nbsp;Guarantee. </FONT></P>

purchase certain of our other indebtedness and may give rise to the early termination of our Credit Agreement. We may not have sufficient funds to purchase all of the affected indebtedness and/or to
repay the amounts owing under our Credit Agreement. </FONT></P>

market may not exist for the New&nbsp;Notes, and if a market does exist, it may not be sufficiently liquid for your purposes. If an active, liquid market does not exist for the
New&nbsp;Notes, the market price and liquidity of the New&nbsp;Notes may be adversely affected. The New&nbsp;Notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering&nbsp;price. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
liquidity of the trading market, if any, and future trading prices of the New&nbsp;Notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, our
operating results, financial performance and prospects, the market for similar securities and the overall securities market, and may be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in these factors.
Historically, the market has been subject to disruptions that have caused volatility in prices. The market for the New&nbsp;Notes may be subject to disruptions that could have a negative effect on
the holders of the New&nbsp;Notes, regardless of our operating results, financial performance or&nbsp;prospects. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Initial
Notes that you do not tender or we do not accept will, following the exchange offer, continue to be subject to transfer restrictions, and you may not offer or sell them except
pursuant to an exemption from, or
in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities law. We will issue New&nbsp;Notes in exchange for the Initial Notes pursuant to the exchange offer only following
the satisfaction of the procedures and conditions set forth in "Exchange Offer&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Terms of the Exchange Offer&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Conditions"
and "Exchange Offer&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Terms of the Exchange Offer&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Procedures for Tendering". These procedures and conditions include
timely receipt by the exchange agent of such Initial Notes (or&nbsp;a confirmation of book-entry transfer) and of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal
(or&nbsp;an agent&#39;s message from&nbsp;DTCC). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because
we anticipate that most holders of Initial Notes will elect to exchange their Initial Notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for any Initial Notes remaining after the
completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any Initial Notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes
outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you do not tender your Initial Notes you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Initial Notes will continue to be subject to
certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Initial Notes could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kinross Gold Corporation is the seventh largest gold producer in the world based on 2011 production volumes. Our market capitalization
was approximately $11.1&nbsp;billion as at March&nbsp;31, 2012. Based in Toronto, Ontario, Kinross was formed in 1993 from three predecessor mining companies, and now owns or has a joint venture
interest in 10&nbsp;operating mines and five development projects in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Russia, West Africa and the United&nbsp;States. We currently employ approximately 8,230&nbsp;people.
The Company has approximately 62.6&nbsp;million ounces of gold, 84.9&nbsp;million ounces of silver and 1.4&nbsp;billion pounds of copper in proven and probable mineral reserves based on our
mineral reserve and resource statement which we refer to in our Form&nbsp;40-F for the period ended December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2011.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012, we had revenues of $1.0&nbsp;billion and net earnings attributed to common shareholders of $105.7&nbsp;million, with attributable
gold production of 604,247&nbsp;ounces.

 </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011, we had revenues of $3.9&nbsp;billion and a net loss attributed to common shareholders of $2.1&nbsp;billion, with attributable
gold-equivalent production of 2.6&nbsp;million ounces. The net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.1&nbsp;billion included the impact of a $2.9&nbsp;billion
non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to Tasiast and Chirano. Our principal product is gold, produced in the form of dor&eacute; that we send to refineries for final
processing. As a
by-product, we also produce limited amounts of silver (primarily from our La Coipa mine in Chile and our Kupol mine in Russia), which is converted into gold equivalents for reporting
purposes based on relative market&nbsp;prices. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the issuance of the Initial Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of August&nbsp;22,
2011, with the initial purchasers of the Initial Notes. The following contains a summary of the provisions of the registration rights agreement. It does not contain all of the information that may be
important to an investor in the New&nbsp;Notes. We refer you to the registration
rights agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms&nbsp;a&nbsp;part. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the registration rights agreement, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective under the Securities Act, on or prior to 360&nbsp;days after
the closing of the offering of the Initial Notes, the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Initial Notes of each series for
New&nbsp;Notes of the respective series. We will keep the exchange offer open for at least 20&nbsp;business days (or&nbsp;longer if required by law) after the date notice of the exchange offer
is sent to holders of the Initial&nbsp;Notes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, all Initial Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to
5:00&nbsp;p.m., New&nbsp;York City time, on the expiration date will be accepted for exchange. New&nbsp;Notes of each series will be issued in exchange for an equal principal amount of
outstanding Initial Notes of the respective series accepted in the exchange offer. This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, is being sent to all holders as of the date of this
prospectus. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of Initial Notes being tendered for exchange. However, the obligation to accept Initial Notes for exchange pursuant
to the exchange offer is subject to certain customary conditions as set forth herein under "&#151;&nbsp;Conditions." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Initial
Notes shall be deemed to have been accepted as validly tendered when, as and if we have given oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice thereof to Wells Fargo Bank,

New&nbsp;Notes to such&nbsp;holders. </FONT></P>

our interest requirements for this period. Due to our loss for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011, the earnings coverage ratio was negative for this period. The loss for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2011 included the effect of a $2,937.6&nbsp;million non-cash goodwill impairment charge relating to Tasiast and Chirano. Had this charge been excluded from the

therein. Terms used herein that are otherwise not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the indenture. Such defined terms shall be incorporated herein by reference. In this section the

received by each holder of New&nbsp;Notes after the withholding or deduction is not less than the amount that each holder of New&nbsp;Notes would have received in the absence of the withholding or

require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. </FONT></P>

of New&nbsp;Notes under the Depositary's system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for such New&nbsp;Notes on the Depositary's
records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of New&nbsp;Notes represented by the Global Securities (a&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Beneficial Owner</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), is in
turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from the Depositary of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected
to receive written confirmation providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner
entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in Global Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of
Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive New&nbsp;Notes in
definitive form representing their ownership interests therein, except in the limited circumstances described under "&#151;&nbsp;Special Situations When a Global Security Will
be&nbsp;Terminated." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
facilitate subsequent transfers, the Global Securities deposited with the Depositary will be registered in the name of the Depositary's partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.
The deposit of the Global Securities with the Depositary and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. does not effect any change in beneficial ownership. The Depositary has no
knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Global Securities representing the New&nbsp;Notes. The Depositary's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts
such New&nbsp;Notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their
customers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conveyance
of notices and other communications by the Depositary to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect
Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to&nbsp;time. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless
physical certificates representing the New&nbsp;Notes have been issued, redemption notices shall be sent to Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. If less than all of the New&nbsp;Notes are
being redeemed, the Depositary's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in the New&nbsp;Notes to be&nbsp;redeemed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither
the Depositary nor Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Global Securities representing the New&nbsp;Notes unless authorized by a Direct Participant
in accordance with the Depositary's procedures. Under its usual procedures, the Depositary mails an omnibus proxy (an&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Omnibus Proxy</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") to the
Company as soon as possible after the applicable record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the
New&nbsp;Notes are credited on the applicable record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus&nbsp;Proxy). </FONT></P>

premium, if any, and interest payments on the Global Securities representing the New&nbsp;Notes will be made to the Depositary. The Depositary's practice is to credit Direct
Participants' accounts on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on the Depositary's records unless the Depositary has reason to believe that it will not
receive payment on such date. Payments by Direct and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held
for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such participants and not of the Depositary, the trustee, Kinross, or the Guarantor
Subsidiaries subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest to Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. is the

requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S.&nbsp;depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering securities to or receiving securities from the Depositary, and
making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to the Depositary. Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants may not

U.S.&nbsp;Holder's circumstances, be either "passive category income" or "general category income" for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit. Due to the complexity of the U.S.&nbsp;foreign
tax credit rules, U.S.&nbsp;Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of the U.S.&nbsp;foreign tax credit rules to their particular circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A U.S.&nbsp;Holder generally will recognize a gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of a
New&nbsp;Note in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition (reduced by any amounts attributable to accrued but
unpaid interest, which will be taxable as interest in the manner described above under "&#151;&nbsp;Interest on the New&nbsp;Notes") and such U.S.&nbsp;Holder's adjusted tax basis
in the New&nbsp;Note (the&nbsp;adjusted tax basis in the New&nbsp;Note should be determined as described above under "&#151;&nbsp;The Exchange Offer"). Any gain or loss that a
U.S.&nbsp;Holder recognizes on a disposition of a New&nbsp;Note will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S.&nbsp;Holder has held such
New&nbsp;Note for more than one year (the&nbsp;holding period of the New&nbsp;Note should be determined as described above under "&#151;&nbsp;The Exchange Offer").
Long-term capital gain of U.S.&nbsp;Holders is generally taxed at preferential rates. Such gain or loss generally will be treated as income or loss from within the United&nbsp;States
for U.S.&nbsp;foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S.&nbsp;Holder's ability to deduct capital losses may be&nbsp;limited. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder of Initial
Notes who acquires, as a beneficial owner, New&nbsp;Notes, including entitlement to all payments thereunder, pursuant to this prospectus in exchange for, and evidencing the same continuing
indebtedness as the Initial Notes and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Income Tax&nbsp;Act (Canada) and the Income Tax Regulations (collectively, the

respect of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount to a person with whom Kinross or any guarantor does not deal at arm's length and (4)&nbsp;does not use or hold the New&nbsp;Notes in a
business carried on in Canada (a&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Holder</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a non-Canadian
holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere. Such holders should consult their own tax&nbsp;advisors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax&nbsp;Act and on an understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency
(the&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>CRA</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax&nbsp;Act
publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Proposed Amendments</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") and assumes that all
Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take
into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action nor does it take into account tax
legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may be different from those discussed herein. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each broker-dealer that receives New&nbsp;Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will
deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New&nbsp;Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with
resales of New&nbsp;Notes received in exchange for Initial Notes where the Initial Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, until
the earlier of the expiration of 180&nbsp;days after the exchange offer or such time as such broker-dealers no longer own any Initial Notes, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented,
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such&nbsp;resale. </FONT></P>

will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New&nbsp;Notes by broker-dealers. New&nbsp;Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may
be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the New&nbsp;Notes or a
combination of those methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any resale may be made directly to
purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any of the New&nbsp;Notes. Any
broker-dealer that resells New&nbsp;Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of the
New&nbsp;Notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any resale of New&nbsp;Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such
persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging
that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities&nbsp;Act. </FONT></P>

transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the New&nbsp;Notes

(&#147;<b>Fairbanks Gold Mining</b>&#148;) and Round Mountain Gold Corporation (&#147;<b>Round Mountain Gold</b>&#148;) are corporations under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;<b>DGCL</b>&#148;). Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (pertaining to certain prohibited acts including unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful purchase or redemption of the corporation&#146;s capital stock); or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The respective certificates of incorporation of the Guarantor Subsidiaries incorporated in Delaware eliminate and limit such personal liability of their directors under such terms. Further, the respective certificates of incorporation of the Guarantor Subsidiaries incorporated in Delaware provide that, if the DGCL is subsequently amended to permit further elimination or limitation of the personal liability of directors, the liability of a director of a Guarantor Subsidiary incorporated in Delaware will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section 145 of the DGCL provides, in relevant part, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. Eligibility for indemnification in relation to an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation may be further subject to the adjudication of the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought. The determination regarding whether the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct generally must be made by a majority of disinterested directors (or a committee thereof) or the stockholders, although indemnification is mandatory where the indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action. A corporation may advance the expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending against any action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf such person to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The statute also provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.</font></p>
