six months ago, developing the mine&rsquo;s upside potential continues to be a top priority for the Company. Kinross is now focused
on developing two sets of deposits that can substantially increase the current 1.1 million Au oz. mineral reserve estimate<SUP>2</SUP>
and extend estimated life of mine.</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">The first set of deposits, the <B>Vantage
Complex</B><SUP>3</SUP>, is well-drilled and located in the 100% Kinross-owned South area of the property. The Company plans
to conduct a modest infill and metallurgical drilling program to potentially convert a significant portion of the Vantage Complex&rsquo;s
current estimated measured and indicated mineral resources of approximately 600 Au koz. and estimated inferred mineral resources
of approximately 125 Au koz. to estimated mineral reserves in the first quarter of 2017. Studies have also commenced regarding
heap leach and carbon-in-column infrastructure for the deposit. There are more than 1,200 pre-existing drill holes at the Vantage
Complex, which was last mined in 1996.</P>

drilling to potentially convert a significant portion of the deposits&rsquo; current estimated measured and indicated mineral resources
of approximately 550 Au koz. and estimated inferred mineral resources of approximately 76 Au koz. to estimated mineral reserves
by year-end 2016. A drilling program was recently completed at the Saga pit, where the vast majority of the ounces are located,
and is expected to improve its economics. Recently mined from 2007 - 2011, Saga is a well-understood deposit with approximately
470 Au koz. of estimated measured and indicated mineral resources<SUP>2</SUP> situated within the current permitted area of the
site. Mine plan optimization and exploration work completed at Saga has been promising and indicates potential for improved value
and mineral resource growth compared with prior expectations.</P>

an approximate 30% conversion of Bald Mountain&rsquo;s current estimated mineral resources to mineral reserves upon receipt of
permits and completion of modest infill drilling at the Vantage Complex and additional drilling at Saga. Kinross anticipates that

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Exploration at Bald Mountain continues
to progress well, with initial results reaffirming the Company&rsquo;s confidence in the site&rsquo;s significant upside potential.
Kinross has increased Bald Mountain&rsquo;s 2016 exploration budget to US$9 million, from the previous US$6 million, to focus on
the Vantage Complex, Saga and Duke, and other promising targets aimed at increasing the mine&rsquo;s estimated resource base and
converting a substantial portion of the mine&rsquo;s estimated mineral resources to mineral reserves.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Located in Nevada, one of the world&rsquo;s
most attractive mining jurisdictions, and along the Carlin Trend, one of the world&rsquo;s most prolific gold producing regions,
Bald Mountain offers multiple opportunities to add to its mineral reserve estimates and transform it into a long-life mine in Kinross&rsquo;
portfolio.</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">Kinross is taking a renewed approach to
exploration at Bald Mountain by drilling deeper and testing for both intrusion-related and Carlin-type mineralization. Kinross
has now identified more than 20 target areas believed to have high potential, the majority of which are located on 100%-owned Kinross
property. Several known deposits are also open in multiple directions and are relatively under-explored.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The exploration team currently has three
rigs on site, and has completed approximately 15,000 metres of reverse circulation and core drilling since the close of the acquisition.
The majority of exploration activity continues to be focused in the North area of the property at the Saga, Top and Redbird pits
and is expected to turn to the South area at the end of the third quarter. In 2016, the team is also considering initiating surface
exploration work such as geologic mapping and geochemical and geophysical surveys in the joint venture area of the property, with

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As previously disclosed in Q1 2016, production
at Bald Mountain will be lower than expected for the first half of 2016. While the Company expects improvements in the second half
of the year, 2016 production and costs will be impacted by short-term integration issues, including a higher than anticipated level
of stripping from the adopted mine plan, harsh winter conditions in Q1, and the replenishment of ADR plant inventory.</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 the planned stripping campaign is completed
this year, Kinross expects to almost double production for 2017 and 2018, compared with expected 2016 production, while reducing
production costs, as mining will be focused in the optimal portion of the Top pit orebody. As full integration is completed, the
Company is also exploring continuous improvement projects at Bald Mountain, including applying Round Mountain&rsquo;s Process Solution
Management program principles (see section below) to the mine&rsquo;s heaps, while optimizing shift changes, blasting schedules
and other areas to increase efficiency.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Kinross recently completed a scoping study
for a potential expansion called Phase W, a large zone of known mineralization that extends to the west of the main Round Mountain
pit and is part of the same deposit that has been mined for the past 38 years. As a result of the scoping study, which included
a rebuild and reinterpretation of the geological model of the Phase W deposit, Kinross has added approximately 98 million tonnes
of estimated inferred resources at an average grade of 0.8 g/t, resulting in approximately 2.4 million Au oz.<SUP>6</SUP> This
estimated inferred mineral resource is an incremental addition to Round Mountain&rsquo;s previously reported estimated mineral
resources as at December 31, 2015, and exclusive of estimated mineral reserves<SUP>2</SUP>. Kinross is targeting infill and geostatistical
