of historical fact, contained or incorporated by reference in this news release including, but not limited to, any information
as to the future financial or operating performance of Kinross, constitute &ldquo;forward-looking information&rdquo; or &ldquo;forward-looking
statements&rdquo; within the meaning of certain securities laws, including the provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario) and
the provisions for &ldquo;safe harbor&rdquo; under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are
based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this news release. The words &ldquo;expect&rdquo; or &ldquo;intends&rdquo;
or variations of or similar such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results may, could, should or
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. These uncertainties and contingencies can 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. 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. All of the forward looking statements made in this news release are qualified by these
cautionary statements and those made in our filings with the securities regulators of Canada and the U.S, including but not limited
to those cautionary statements made in the &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; section of our most recently filed Annual Information Form
and the &ldquo;Risk Analysis&rdquo; sections of our Management&rsquo;s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31,
2015. 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 whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements,
except to the extent required by applicable law.</I>&nbsp;</P>
