25, 2016</B> &ndash; Kinross Gold (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC) announced today operational updates at its Bald Mountain mine in Nevada,
Tasiast mine in Mauritania and Maricunga mine in Chile.</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; color: #C69C5F"><B>Bald Mountain </B></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">At Bald Mountain, the Company has received
a record of decision from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to allow for increased exploration activities and the mine&rsquo;s
potential expansion.</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 decision allows the Company to expand
existing mine facilities and provides significant flexibility for future growth, such as additional heap leach capacity and a carbon
adsorption plant, beyond what is required in the current mine plan. The decision, among other exploration activities, will also
allow the Company to complete modest infill and metallurgical drilling to potentially increase the mine&rsquo;s mineral reserve
estimate, and construct and operate new facilities in the North and South areas of the land package.</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 Company is focused on developing two
sets of deposits, the Vantage Complex and Yankee pits in the South area, and the Saga and Duke pits in the North area. Developing
these deposits may substantially increase the current 1.1 million Au oz. mineral reserve estimate<SUP>1</SUP> at Bald Mountain
and extend 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">At Tasiast, the Company resumed normal
mining and processing operation in mid-August, following the temporary suspension caused by the expatriate work permit issue. Two
major construction contracts regarding earthworks and concrete works have also been awarded for the Phase One expansion project.</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">In its Q2 2016 results news release, Kinross
announced that the Company and the Government of&nbsp;Mauritania resolved the expatriate work permit issue as part of reaching
a mutually acceptable &quot;Mauritanization&quot; plan to increase the number of local workers who have the necessary skills and
experience to work at Tasiast, a requirement under Mauritanian law. As well, labour negotiations respecting the Company's collective
labour agreement at Tasiast are expected to recommence in the next two weeks.</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">At Maricunga, the Company has placed the
mine into suspension. As previously disclosed, due to other capital priorities in its global portfolio, the Company decided to
suspend mining at Maricunga in Q4 2016.</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 suspension was implemented earlier
than planned after a judicial decision in Chile concluded that the country&rsquo;s environmental regulatory authority&rsquo;s (SMA)
revised June 24, 2016 sanction was enforceable. The sanction, among other things, substantially reduced water pumping at Maricunga,
which caused the mine to suspend mining and crushing activities and curtail processing at the end of July 2016. The advanced timing
of suspension at Maricunga is not expected to affect the Company&rsquo;s 2016 production and cost guidance.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Kinross continues to vigorously oppose
the SMA&rsquo;s unprecedented actions and has various appeals pending with Chile&rsquo;s Environmental Tribunal. The Company disagrees
with the original resolution on which the subsequent SMA orders are based, as it is technically and legally flawed and relies on
contested scientific findings. Kinross is committed to responsible environmental management and has taken numerous measures and
performed various studies over the years to understand the causes of the current situation and mitigate impacts of its water use.
The Atacama Region, where Maricunga is located, has also suffered from a protracted drought for many years, resulting in a drop
in groundwater levels across the region that is unrelated to the mine&rsquo;s operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As a result of the suspension, the Company
is reducing its mining and crushing workforce at Maricunga by approximately 300 employees. Kinross will continue to explore further
permitting efforts and review the operation and its mineral resource model to consider possible options for re-starting mining.
The Company continues to advance permitting efforts at the nearby La Coipa project with exploration work also continuing this year.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">At December 31, 2015, the Maricunga mine
had estimated proven and probable mineral reserves of 1.042 million ounces, estimated measured and indicated mineral resources
of 4.275 million ounces and estimated inferred mineral resources of 1.053 million ounces<SUP>1</SUP>. The mineral reserve estimates
were prepared using a $1,200 per ounce gold price, and the mineral resource estimates were prepared using a $1,400 per ounce gold
price.</P>
