<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;This strategic transaction represents
a rare opportunity to add quality, free cash flowing assets that build on our platform in Nevada, one of the world&rsquo;s most
attractive mining jurisdictions. These assets will increase our production, and are expected to lower costs and add significant
and well-defined mineral resource potential,&rdquo; said J. Paul Rollinson, Kinross&rsquo; President and Chief Executive Officer.
&ldquo;We see a clear path to upside at both assets, with known mineralization extensions throughout the Bald Mountain land package
and ongoing operational and continuous improvement initiatives at Round Mountain.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Bald Mountain is a low-cost producer with
a large estimated mineral resource base. An open-pit, run-of-mine, heap leach gold mine, its operation is a strong fit with Kinross&rsquo;
portfolio and provides an opportunity to leverage Kinross&rsquo; open pit heap leach expertise. The operation is expected to benefit
from significant capital investments in equipment, infrastructure, stripping and drilling over the past five years, positioning
Bald Mountain to be a low-cost producer going forward. The mine is expected to have an annual production range of 175,000-300,000
Au eq. oz. with an annual cost of sales range of $450-$1,000 per Au eq. oz. and an annual all-in sustaining cost<SUP>3</SUP> range
of $700-$1,130 per Au eq. oz. over the three-year period from 2016 through 2018.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As at December 31, 2014, Bald Mountain
had proven and probable gold reserves of 1.36 million ounces based on 60 Mt at 0.70 g/t and additional measured and indicated gold
resources of 4.16 million ounces based on 207 Mt at 0.63 g/t.<SUP>2</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Located along the southern extension of
the prolific Carlin trend, the property is the largest mine site by area in the United States, and has numerous brownfield and
greenfield exploration targets. It stretches approximately 40 km north to south and 15 km east to west, and is divided into three
zones.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The <B>North Zone </B>encompasses the current
core mining area (40% of land package), all current mineral reserves estimates and a portion of mineral resources estimates. Several
existing and historic pits offer the opportunity for in-pit extensions, including the Top, Saga, RBM, Winrock, Rat, and Royale
pits. The <B>South Zone </B>covers 20% of the overall land package and hosts economically<B> </B>attractive estimated mineral resources
in the late stages of permitting. In addition, there is potential for extensions to historic operations, such as the Vantage and
Yankee pits. The North and South zones will be 100% owned by Kinross and contain all reported mineral reserve and mineral resource
estimates used by the Company to value the asset. The <B>JV Zone </B>(encompassing 40% of the package) lies between the North and
South zones and is subject to a 50/50 exploration joint venture partnership with Kinross as the operator. Kinross believes in the
prospectivity of the JV Zone and expects to leverage Barrick&rsquo;s knowledge and experience in the area to realize its exploration
potential.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Kinross is currently the 50% owner and
operator of Round Mountain. This transaction will allow Kinross to consolidate its interest in one of the Company&rsquo;s best
run and established mines and advance promising initiatives to optimize the operation and potentially extend estimated mine life.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Round Mountain uses conventional open-pit
mining methods and recovers gold using four independent processing operations including crushed ore leaching, run-of-mine ore leaching,
milling and a gravity concentration circuit. The operation is beginning to realize the benefits of an ongoing long-term continuous
improvement project known as Process Solution Management (PSM), which is focused on enhancing heap leach performance and improvements
to recovery. In Q3 2015, Round Mountain became Kinross&rsquo; third-lowest cost operation, achieving its highest production in
six years and lowest cost of sales per ounce in three years. Going forward, Kinross expects to realize continued benefits from
leach pad operations, pumping and piping infrastructure optimization, gold recovery timing, and in leaching previously under-leached
areas of the leach pads.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Round Mountain (on a 100% basis) is expected
to have an annual production range of 340,000-430,000 Au eq. oz. with an annual cost of sales range of $820-900 per Au eq. oz.

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In December 2015, Kinross intends to begin
a scoping study on a potential expansion at Round Mountain known as Phase W. A large zone of known mineralization exists at depth
and to the west of the main Round Mountain pit. This mineralized material is not included in Kinross&rsquo; Annual Mineral Resource
and Reserve Statement (AMMRS)<SUP>2 </SUP>because the material does not currently meet the required NI 43-101 classification. The
scoping study will focus on building the mineral resource model by incorporating new drilling information and subsequent geologic
interpretations to complete an optimized mine plan. The study is expected to be completed in Q2 2016.</P>

certain actions, events or results may, could, should or &lsquo;will be achieved, received or taken, or will occur or result and
similar such 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. The estimates, models 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 herein and in our most recently filed Annual Information Form and our full year 2014
Management&rsquo;s Discussion and Analysis (&ldquo;2014 MD&amp;A&rdquo;) as well as: (1) there being no significant disruptions
affecting the operations of the Company; (2) permitting, development, operations and production from the Company&rsquo;s operations
being consistent with Kinross&rsquo; current expectations; (3) political and legal developments in any jurisdiction in which the
Company operates being consistent with its current expectations; (4) the applicable currency exchange rates being approximately
consistent with current levels; (5) certain price assumptions for gold and silver; (6) prices for diesel, natural gas, fuel oil,
electricity and other key supplies being approximately consistent with current levels; (7) production and cost of sales forecasts
for the Company meeting expectations; (8) the accuracy of the mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates of the Company (including
but not limited to ore tonnage and ore grade estimates); (9) labour and materials costs being consistent with Kinross&rsquo; current
expectations; and (10) access to capital markets being consistent with the Company&rsquo;s current expectations. Known and unknown
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
but are not limited to: sanctions (any other similar restrictions or penalties) now or subsequently imposed, other actions taken,
by, against, in respect of or otherwise impacting any jurisdiction in which the Company is domiciled or operates, or any government
or citizens of, persons or companies domiciled in, or the Company&rsquo;s business, operations or other activities in, any such
jurisdiction; litigation commenced, or other claims or actions brought, against the Company (and/or any of its directors, officers
or employees); fluctuations in the currency markets; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain other commodities
(such as fuel and electricity); changes in the discount rates applied to calculate the present value of net future cash flows based
on country-specific real weighted average cost of capital; changes in the market valuations of peer group gold producers and the
Company, and the resulting impact on market price to net asset value multiples; changes in various market variables, such as interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, gold or silver prices and lease rates, or global fuel prices, that could impact the mark-to-market
value of outstanding derivative instruments and ongoing payments/receipts under any financial obligations; risks arising from holding
derivative instruments (such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark-to-market risk); changes in national and local government
legislation, taxation (including but not limited to income tax, advance income tax, stamp tax, withholding tax, capital tax, tariffs,
value-added or sales tax, capital outflow tax, capital gains tax, windfall or windfall profits tax, royalty, excise tax, customs/import
or export taxes/duties, asset taxes, asset transfer tax, property use or other real estate tax, together with any related fine,
penalty, surcharge, or interest imposed in connection with such taxes), controls, policies and regulations; the security of personnel
and assets; political or economic developments in Canada, the United and other countries in which Kinross does business or may
carry on business; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, us; our ability to successfully integrate the
acquisition of 100% of Bald Mountain, 50% of Round Mountain; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development
activities; employee relations; litigation or other claims against, or regulatory investigations and/or any enforcement actions
or sanctions in respect of the Company (and/or its directors, officers, or employees) including but not limited to any investigations,
enforcement actions and/or sanctions under any applicable anti-corruption, international sanctions and/or anti-money laundering
laws and regulations in Canada, the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction; the speculative nature of gold exploration
and development including, but not limited to, the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; diminishing quantities or
grades of reserves; adverse changes in our credit rating; and contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped
properties. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of gold exploration, development and mining,
including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold
bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or the inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these
uncertainties and contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, Kinross&rsquo; actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Kinross,including but not limited to
resulting in an impairment charge on goodwill and/or assets. 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. Forward-looking
statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management&rsquo;s expectations and plans relating to the
future. All of the forward-looking statements made in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements and those
made in our other filings with the securities regulators of Canada and the United States including, but not limited to, the cautionary
statements made in the &lsquo;&lsquo;Risk Factors&rsquo;&rsquo; section of our most recently filed Annual Information Form and
the &ldquo;Risk Analysis&rdquo; section of our 2014 MD&amp;A. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the
factors that could affect Kinross. Kinross disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements
or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements, except to the extent
required by applicable law.</I></P>
