<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Kinross has agreed to acquire the Barra
dos Coqueiros (BCQ) and Ca&ccedil;u hydro power plants located on the Claro River in the neighbouring state of Goias, approximately
660 kms west of Paracatu. Additional infrastructure is not required for BCQ and Ca&ccedil;u to provide power to Paracatu due to
Brazil&rsquo;s well-developed infrastructure and existing market mechanisms for the transmission and utilization of power.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The acquisition is expected to allow Kinross
to significantly lower operating costs at Paracatu by eliminating approximately 70% of future power purchases. In addition, Brazilian
legislation provides reduced power tariffs to companies that generate their own power supply. Due to reduced tariffs, the Company
expects savings of approximately $15 per ounce, which is included as part of the total expected savings of approximately $80 per
ounce of production cost of sales over the life of mine. The plants are also expected to have relatively low operating and maintenance
costs, as is typical with hydroelectric power plants.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Both plants have been in operation since
2010 and have a total installed capacity of 155 MW (BCQ - 90 MW; Ca&ccedil;u - 65 MW), and are expected to supply approximately
70% of Paracatu&rsquo;s future power needs. The remaining 30% of Paracatu&rsquo;s power demand is expected to continue to be fulfilled
by third party suppliers under fixed term power purchase agreements. The operating concessions for both plants expire in 2037,
five years after Paracatu&rsquo;s mine life is expected to end.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">To help facilitate a transition of ownership
and management, Kinross expects to assume the existing BCQ and Ca&ccedil;u operations and maintenance contract. Kinross also self-generates
power at Tasiast, Kupol and Dvoinoye.</P>
