<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Toronto, Ontario </B>&ndash; <B>March 21,
2016</B> &ndash; On March 18, 2016, Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a Minera Maricunga (&ldquo;CMM&rdquo;), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kinross
Gold Corporation (TSX: K) (NYSE: KGC), was notified by Chile&rsquo;s environmental regulatory authority (the &ldquo;SMA&rdquo;)
of a resolution commencing a legal process that will seek to require CMM to close the Maricunga mine&rsquo;s water pumping wells
located in the Pantanillo area of Region III. In response, Kinross wishes to make the following statement:</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Kinross is committed to responsible environmental
management. CMM has taken numerous measures and performed various studies over the years to understand the causes of the current
situation and mitigate, as appropriate and permitted, any impacts of its water use. Kinross wishes to also underscore that the
Atacama Region has suffered from a protracted drought for many years, resulting in a drop in groundwater levels across the region
that is unrelated to CMM&rsquo;s operations.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">CMM only recently received the resolution and
will review it thoroughly with its legal counsel. CMM will respond within the periods allowed by law, and intends to file an appeal
with the appropriate Environmental Tribunal. CMM disagrees with the allegations on which the resolution is based, and intends to
defend itself vigorously. As noted by the SMA in issuing the resolution, procedurally the closure order of the pumping wells must
still be presented to and upheld by the Environmental Tribunal in Santiago. In addition, the SMA has publicly stated an intention
to seek an expedited injunction. CMM similarly intends to vigorously oppose this unprecedented action by the SMA.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Maricunga mine continues to operate normally
but relies solely on water from Pantanillo wells to support its operations.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As this matter remains subject to ongoing legal
proceedings, Kinross cannot provide more detail at this time.</P>
