tailings reprocessing facility at Paracatu; (3)&nbsp;political and legal developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates being consistent with its current expectations including,
without limitation, the impact of any political tensions and uncertainty in the Russian Federation and Ukraine or any related sanctions and any other similar restrictions or penalties imposed, or
actions taken, by any government, including but not limited to potential power rationing, tailings facility regulation and amendments to mining laws in Brazil, potential amendments to water laws
and/or other water use restrictions and regulatory actions in Chile, potential amendments to minerals and mining laws, energy levies laws, and dam safety regulation in Ghana, potential amendments to

interpretation, implementation, application and enforcement of any such laws and amendments thereto), being consistent with Kinross' current expectations; (4)&nbsp;the completion of studies,
including optimization studies, prefeasibility and feasibility studies, on the timelines currently expected and the results of those studies being consistent with Kinross' current expectations;

United&nbsp;States, or any investigations, enforcement actions and/or sanctions under any applicable anti-corruption, international sanctions and/or anti-money laundering laws and regulations in
Canada, the United&nbsp;States or any other applicable jurisdiction; the speculative nature of gold exploration and development including, but not limited to, the risks of obtaining necessary
licenses and permits; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; adverse changes in our credit rating; and contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties. In
addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of gold exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations,
pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and&nbsp;the risk of inadequate insurance, or the inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these uncertainties and
contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, Kinross' actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf
of, Kinross, including but not limited to resulting in an impairment charge on goodwill and/or assets. 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. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's
expectations and plans relating to the future. All of the forward-looking statements made or incorporated by reference in this prospectus are qualified by these cautionary statements and those made in
our other filings with the securities regulators of Canada and the United&nbsp;States including, but not limited to, the cautionary statements made in the "Risk Factors" section of our management's
discussion and analysis for the financial year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 and management's
discussion and analysis for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2018. 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 or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements, except to the
extent required by applicable&nbsp;law. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance with applicable Canadian securities regulatory requirements, all mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates of
Kinross incorporated by reference in this prospectus have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument&nbsp;43-101&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Standards
of Disclosure for Mineral Projects</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>NI&nbsp;43-101</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), classified in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy
and Petroleum's </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>"CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves Definitions and Guidelines"</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> (the&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>CIM
Guidelines</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"). The definitions of mineral reserves and mineral resources are set out in our disclosure of our mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates that are
incorporated by reference in this prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
terms "mineral reserve," "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI&nbsp;43-101 and the CIM Guidelines.
These definitions differ from the definitions in the SEC Industry Guide 7&nbsp;under the Securities Act ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>SEC Industry Guide 7</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"). Under SEC Industry
Guide 7&nbsp;standards, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves. The three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate
reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate government authority. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, Kinross uses the terms "mineral resources," "measured mineral resources," "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." While those terms are recognized by
Canadian securities regulatory authorities, they are not recognized by the SEC. Pursuant to the CIM Guidelines, mineral resources have a higher degree of uncertainty than mineral reserves as to their
existence as well as their economic and legal feasibility. Inferred mineral resources, when compared with measured or indicated mineral resources, have the least certainty as to their existence, and
it cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource as a result of continued exploration. Pursuant to
NI&nbsp;43-101, inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of any economic analysis, including any feasibility study. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part
of a mineral resource exists, will ever be converted into a mineral reserve, or is or will ever be economically or legally mineable or recovered. Accordingly, these mineral reserve and mineral
resource estimates and related information may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S.&nbsp;companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the
United&nbsp;States federal laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, including SEC Industry Guide&nbsp;7. </FONT></P>

into Canadian dollars was $1.00 equals Cdn$1.2972. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kinross is a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. A majority of the assets of the Company are
located outside of the United&nbsp;States and a majority of the directors and officers of the Company and some of the experts named in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference
herein are resident, and a majority of their assets are located, outside of the United&nbsp;States. As a result, it may be difficult for United&nbsp;States investors to effect service of process
within the United&nbsp;States upon those directors, officers or experts who are not residents of the United&nbsp;States, or to realize in the United&nbsp;States upon judgments of courts of the
United&nbsp;States predicated upon civil liability of such directors, officers or experts under U.S.&nbsp;federal securities laws. There is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in
Ontario in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon such&nbsp;laws. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
assets of several of our subsidiary guarantors are also located outside of the United&nbsp;States. Their directors and officers are generally resident outside of the
United&nbsp;States. As a result, it may be difficult for United&nbsp;States investors to effect service of process within the United&nbsp;States upon those directors or officers who are not
residents of the United&nbsp;States, or to realize in the United&nbsp;States upon judgments of courts of the United&nbsp;States predicated upon civil liability of such directors or officers

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kinross is principally engaged in the mining and processing of gold and, as a by-product, silver ore and the exploration for, and the
acquisition of, gold bearing properties in the Americas, Russia, West Africa and worldwide. The principal products of Kinross are gold and silver produced in the form of dor&eacute; that is
shipped to refineries for final processing. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kinross'
strategy is to increase shareholder value through increases in precious metal reserves, net asset value, production, long-term cash flow and earnings per share. Kinross'
strategy also consists of optimizing the performance, and therefore, the value, of existing operations, investing in quality exploration and development projects and acquiring new potentially
accretive properties and&nbsp;projects. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The New&nbsp;Notes will be issued by Kinross, which is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, and guaranteed by the
Guarantor Subsidiaries, which are incorporated in various jurisdictions, including the United&nbsp;States, Brazil, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the British Virgin Islands. In the event of
bankruptcy, insolvency or a similar event, proceedings could be initiated in any of these jurisdictions and in the jurisdiction of organization of a future guarantor of the New&nbsp;Notes. Your
rights under the New&nbsp;Notes and the Guarantor Subsidiaries' Guarantees will thus be subject to the laws of several jurisdictions, and you may not be able to effectively enforce your rights in
multiple bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar proceedings. Moreover, such multi-jurisdictional proceedings are typically complex and costly for creditors and often result in substantial
uncertainty and delay in the enforcement of creditors' rights. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, the bankruptcy, insolvency, administrative, and other laws of the respective Guarantor Subsidiaries' jurisdictions of incorporation may be materially different from, or in
conflict with, one another and those of the United&nbsp;States in certain areas, including creditors' rights, priority of creditors, the ability to obtain post-petition interest and the duration of
the insolvency proceeding. The application of these various laws in multiple jurisdictions could trigger disputes over which jurisdictions' law should apply and could adversely affect your ability to
enforce your rights and to collect payment in full under the New&nbsp;Notes, the guarantees and any&nbsp;security. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Corporate benefit and financial assistance laws and other limitations on the Guarantees may adversely affect the validity and enforceability of the Guarantees of the

or any other successor credit agreement that may be then outstanding, then the Guarantee of the Notes by such Guarantor may be released without
action by, or consent of, any holder of the Notes or the trustee under the Indenture. You will not have a claim as a creditor against any subsidiary that is no longer a Guarantor of the Notes, and the

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There is no assurance that the credit ratings assigned to the New&nbsp;Notes or Kinross will remain in effect for any given period of
time or that any such rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency. Real or anticipated changes in credit ratings assigned to the New&nbsp;Notes will generally affect the
market price of the New&nbsp;Notes. In addition, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings may also affect the cost at which we can access the capital markets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Credit
rating agencies evaluate the industries in which we operate as a whole and may change their credit rating for us based on their overall view of such industries. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We may be unable to purchase the New&nbsp;Notes upon a change of control repurchase event.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a change of control repurchase event occurs in respect of the New&nbsp;Notes, we will be required to offer to purchase such
New&nbsp;Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such New&nbsp;Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on the New&nbsp;Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date
of purchase in order to avoid an event of default under the indenture. See "Description of the Notes and Guarantees&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Change of Control Repurchase Event." A
change of control may also require us to make an offer to purchase certain of our other indebtedness and may give rise to the early termination of our Credit Agreement. We may not have sufficient
funds to purchase all of the affected indebtedness and/or to repay the amounts owing under our Credit Agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> An active trading market may not exist for the New&nbsp;Notes. The absence of a market for the New&nbsp;Notes could adversely affect the liquidity and value of your
New&nbsp;Notes.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A market may not exist for the New&nbsp;Notes, and if a market does exist, it may not be sufficiently liquid for your purposes. If an
active, liquid market does not exist for the New&nbsp;Notes, the market price and liquidity of the New&nbsp;Notes may be adversely affected. The New&nbsp;Notes may trade at a discount from their
initial offering&nbsp;price. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
liquidity of the trading market, if any, and future trading prices of the New&nbsp;Notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, our
operating results, financial performance and prospects, the market for similar securities and the overall securities market, and may be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in these factors.
Historically, the market has been subject to disruptions that have caused volatility in prices. The market for the New&nbsp;Notes may be subject to disruptions that could have a negative effect on
the holders of the New&nbsp;Notes, regardless of our operating results, financial performance or&nbsp;prospects. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> If you fail to exchange your Initial Notes, they will continue to be subject to transfer restrictions and may become less&nbsp;liquid.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Initial Notes that you do not tender or we do not accept will, following the exchange offer, continue to be subject to transfer
restrictions, and you may not offer or sell them except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities law. We will issue
New&nbsp;Notes in exchange for the Initial Notes pursuant to the exchange offer only following the satisfaction of the procedures and conditions set forth in "Exchange
Offer&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Terms of the Exchange Offer&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Conditions" and "Exchange Offer&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Terms of the
Exchange Offer&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Procedures for Tendering". These procedures and conditions include timely receipt by the exchange agent of such Initial Notes (or&nbsp;a
confirmation of book-entry transfer) and of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or&nbsp;an agent's message from The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation
("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>DTCC</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>")). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because
we anticipate that most holders of Initial Notes will elect to exchange their Initial Notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for any Initial Notes remaining after the
completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any Initial Notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes
outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you do not tender your Initial Notes you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Initial Notes will continue to be subject to
certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Initial Notes could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Overview  </B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kinross is principally engaged in the mining and processing of gold and, as a by-product, silver ore and the exploration for, and the
acquisition of, gold bearing properties in the Americas, Russia, West Africa and&nbsp;worldwide. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
strategy is to increase shareholder value through increases in precious metal reserves, net asset value, production, long-term cash flow and earnings per share. Our strategy also
consists of optimizing the performance, and therefore, the value, of existing operations, investing in quality exploration and development projects and acquiring new potentially accretive properties
and&nbsp;projects. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
operations and mineral reserves are impacted by, among other things, changes in metal prices. The average gold price during 2017 was approximately $1,257 ($1,251 during 2016). We
used a gold price of $1,200 per ounce at the end of 2017 to estimate mineral reserves. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Five-Year History  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On June&nbsp;10, 2013, we extended the maturity dates of our $1.5&nbsp;billion revolving credit facility and $1.0&nbsp;billion
term loan to extend the respective maturity dates and remove the minimum tangible net worth covenant. The credit facility was extended by one year to August&nbsp;10, 2018 from August&nbsp;10,
2017, and the term loan was extended by two years to August&nbsp;10, 2017 from August&nbsp;10, 2015. On March&nbsp;10, 2014, we repaid $500&nbsp;million of the term loan, leaving a balance of
$500&nbsp;million outstanding. On July&nbsp;28, 2014, we amended the $500&nbsp;million term loan and the $1.5&nbsp;billion revolving credit facility to extend the maturity dates by one year to
August&nbsp;10, 2018 and August&nbsp;10, 2019, respectively. On July&nbsp;24, 2015, we extended the maturity dates of the $500&nbsp;million term loan and $1.5&nbsp;billion revolving credit
facility by one year to 2019 and 2020 respectively. On July&nbsp;26, 2016, we extended the maturity dates of the $500&nbsp;million term loan and $1.5&nbsp;billion revolving credit facility by
one year, to 2020 and 2021 respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
October&nbsp;9, 2013, we began commercial production at our Dvoinoye underground gold mine located in Russia's Chukotka region. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
the end of October&nbsp;2013, we suspended mining of the existing ore body at La Coipa and placed the mine on care and maintenance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
March&nbsp;6, 2014, we completed a $500&nbsp;million offering of 5.95% senior notes due 2024. We used the net proceeds, as well as an additional $7&nbsp;million in cash, to
repay $500&nbsp;million of the term&nbsp;loan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
July&nbsp;17, 2014, we entered into an amendment to increase the amount of our letter of credit guarantee facility with Export Development Canada from $200&nbsp;million to
$250&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
October&nbsp;21, 2014, we announced that we entered into an agreement with Fortress Minerals Corp. (subsequently renamed Lundin Gold&nbsp;Inc., "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Lundin
Gold</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), a member of the Lundin Group of Companies, to sell all of our interest in Aurelian Resources&nbsp;Inc. and the FDN project in Ecuador for $240&nbsp;million in cash
and shares. On December&nbsp;17, 2014, we completed the sale for gross cash proceeds of $150&nbsp;million and $90&nbsp;million of Lundin Gold common&nbsp;shares. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
November&nbsp;17, 2014, we withdrew our permit application and stopped the permitting process at our Lobo-Marte mine. Any future project would require the re-initiation of the
permitting process. As a result of the withdrawal of the permit application, we reclassified the project's estimated proven and probable mineral reserves as measured and indicated mineral resources. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
November&nbsp;12, 2015, we announced that we had entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the Bald Mountain ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Bald
Mountain</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") gold mine, which includes a large associated land package, and the remaining 50% of the Round Mountain gold mine in Nevada from Barrick Gold Corporation
("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Barrick</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") for $610&nbsp;million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, which reduced the purchase price to $588&nbsp;million. In
addition, Barrick received a contingent 2% net smelter return royalty on future gold production from Kinross' 100%-owned Bald Mountain lands that will come into effect following the post-closing
production of 10&nbsp;million ounces from such lands. Barrick also retained a 50% interest in an exploration joint </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the issuance of the Initial Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of July&nbsp;6, 2017,
with the initial purchasers of the Initial Notes. The following contains a summary of the provisions of the registration rights agreement. It does not contain all of the information that may be
important to an investor in the New&nbsp;Notes. We refer you to the registration rights agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms&nbsp;a&nbsp;part. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the registration rights agreement, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective under the Securities Act, on or prior to 360&nbsp;days after
the closing of the offering of the Initial Notes, the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Initial Notes for New&nbsp;Notes.
We will keep the exchange offer open for at least 20&nbsp;business days (or&nbsp;longer if required by law) after the date notice of the exchange offer is sent to holders of the
Initial&nbsp;Notes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, all Initial Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to
5:00&nbsp;p.m., New&nbsp;York City time, on the expiration date will be accepted for exchange. New&nbsp;Notes will be issued in exchange for an equal principal amount of outstanding Initial
Notes accepted in the exchange offer. This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, is being sent to all holders as of the date of this prospectus. The exchange offer is not conditioned
upon any minimum principal amount of Initial Notes being tendered for exchange. However, the obligation to accept Initial Notes for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer is subject to certain
customary conditions as set forth herein under "&#151;&nbsp;Conditions." </FONT></P>

registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Initial Notes pursuant to the

transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Initial Notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, except in
compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or in a transaction not subject to the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with applicable state securities laws. We do not currently anticipate that we will register the Initial Notes under the Securities Act. To the
extent that Initial Notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for untendered and tendered but unaccepted Initial Notes could be adversely affected. See "Risk
Factors&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;If you fail to exchange your Initial Notes, they will continue to be subject to transfer restrictions and may become less&nbsp;liquid." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the New&nbsp;Notes, the Guarantees and the indenture. It does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the indenture, because the indenture, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of the New&nbsp;Notes. The indenture
has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms&nbsp;a part. You should refer to all the provisions of the indenture, as supplemented by the first
supplemental indenture, dated as of December&nbsp;8, 2014, and the second supplemental indenture, dated as of September&nbsp;1, 2016, including the definition of certain terms used therein. Terms
used herein that are otherwise not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the indenture. Such defined terms shall be incorporated herein by reference. In this section the terms "Kinross,"
"we," "our," and "us" refer only to Kinross Gold Corporation and not to any of its subsidiaries. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> General  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Initial Notes were initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. The New&nbsp;Notes are unsecured,
unsubordinated obligations of Kinross evidencing the same continuing indebtedness as the Initial Notes and will mature on July&nbsp;15, 2027. The New&nbsp;Notes will bear interest at the rate of
4.50% per annum from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semi-annually in arrears on January&nbsp;15 and July&nbsp;15 of
each year, to the persons in whose names the New&nbsp;Notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding January&nbsp;1 or July&nbsp;1, as the case may&nbsp;be. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All
payments will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of Taxes unless required by law or the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government
authority or agency. If we are so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes, we will pay as additional interest such additional amounts, as necessary, so that the net amount
received by each holder of New&nbsp;Notes after the withholding or deduction is not less than the amount that each holder of New&nbsp;Notes would have received in the absence of the withholding or
deduction. See "&#151;&nbsp;Payment of Additional Amounts." If interest or principal on the New&nbsp;Notes is payable on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day when banks are not open
for business in The City of New&nbsp;York, we will make the payment on the next business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of the delay in&nbsp;payment. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest
on the New&nbsp;Notes will accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months from and including the last interest payment date on which interest has
been&nbsp;paid. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
New&nbsp;Notes will be payable at the office of the paying agent maintained by us for such purpose, which initially will be the office or agency of the Trustee at 150&nbsp;East
42nd&nbsp;St., New&nbsp;York, New&nbsp;York 10017. New&nbsp;Notes may be presented for exchange or registration of transfer at the office of the registrar, which initially will be such office
of the Trustee. We will not charge a service fee for any registration of transfer or exchange of the
New&nbsp;Notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Guarantees  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Subsidiary Guarantees  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The payment of principal of and interest and additional amounts, if any, on the New&nbsp;Notes will be fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries. Any payments made by the Guarantor Subsidiaries with respect to a note or guarantee will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of Taxes
unless required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency. If a Guarantor Subsidiary is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for
or on account of Taxes, it will pay as additional interest such additional amounts, as necessary, so that the net amount received by each holder of New&nbsp;Notes after the withholding or deduction
is not less than the amount that each holder of New&nbsp;Notes would have received in the absence of the withholding or deduction. See "&#151;&nbsp;Payment of Additional Amounts." </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
indenture limits the obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary under its guarantee of the New&nbsp;Notes to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by such
Guarantor Subsidiary by law or without resulting in its obligations under guarantee being voidable or unenforceable under applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfer, or under similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kinross shall cause each subsidiary that becomes a borrower or Guarantor Subsidiary under the Credit Agreement, to become a Guarantor

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the New&nbsp;Notes, create and issue additional notes

except, in some cases, for the first payment of interest following the issue date of the additional notes) so that the additional notes may be consolidated and form&nbsp;a single series with the
New&nbsp;Notes, and have the same terms as to status, redemption and otherwise as New&nbsp;Notes of that series issued under this prospectus, provided that if any such additional notes are not
fungible with the New&nbsp;Notes for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will have a separate CUSIP&nbsp;number. </FONT></P>

respective Guarantor Subsidiary from time to time outstanding. The New&nbsp;Notes will be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, and
the New&nbsp;Notes and the Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness and other secured liabilities of ours and the Guarantor Subsidiaries in each case to the extent
of the assets securing such indebtedness and other liabilities. At March&nbsp;31, 2018, the aggregate amount of the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables and excluding
intercompany obligations, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries was approximately $904.0&nbsp;million, and we and the Guarantor Subsidiaries had less than $25&nbsp;million of secured indebtedness

payment of the redemption price and accrued interest). The redemption price will be calculated by the Independent Investment Banker, as provided below, and we, the trustee and any paying agent for the

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> The Depositary  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Depositary has advised us as follows: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Depositary is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New&nbsp;York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New&nbsp;York Banking Law, a
member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New&nbsp;York Uniform Commercial Code, and a clearing agency registered pursuant to the provisions of
Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. The Depositary holds and provides asset servicing for securities that the Depositary's participants ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Direct
Participants</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") deposit with the Depositary. The Depositary also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in
deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S.&nbsp;securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. The Depositary is a wholly
owned subsidiary of DTCC. DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of the Depositary and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing
Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, and EMCC, respectively, also are subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the NYSE Euronext and the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,&nbsp;Inc. Access to the Depositary's system is also available to others such as both
U.S. and non-U.S.&nbsp;securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either
directly or indirectly ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Indirect Participants</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"). The Depositary's Rules applicable to its participants are on file with the&nbsp;SEC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchases
of New&nbsp;Notes under the Depositary's system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for such New&nbsp;Notes on the Depositary's
records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of New&nbsp;Notes represented by the Global Securities (a&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Beneficial Owner</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), is in
turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from the Depositary of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected
to receive written confirmation providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner
entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in Global Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of
Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive New&nbsp;Notes in definitive form representing their ownership interests therein, except in the limited circumstances described under
"&#151;&nbsp;Special Situations When a Global Security Will be&nbsp;Terminated." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
facilitate subsequent transfers, the Global Securities deposited with the Depositary will be registered in the name of the Depositary's partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.
The deposit of the Global Securities with the Depositary and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. does not effect any change in beneficial ownership. The Depositary has no
knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Global Securities representing the New&nbsp;Notes. The Depositary's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts
such New&nbsp;Notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their
customers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless
physical certificates representing the New&nbsp;Notes have been issued, redemption notices shall be sent to Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. If less than all of the New&nbsp;Notes are
being redeemed, the Depositary's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in the New&nbsp;Notes to be&nbsp;redeemed. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither
the Depositary nor Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Global Securities representing the New&nbsp;Notes unless authorized by a Direct Participant
in accordance with the Depositary's procedures. Under its usual procedures, the Depositary mails an omnibus proxy (an&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Omnibus Proxy</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") to the
Company as soon as possible after the applicable record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the
New&nbsp;Notes are credited on the applicable record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus&nbsp;Proxy). </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Principal,
premium, if any, and interest payments on the Global Securities representing the New&nbsp;Notes will be made to the Depositary. The Depositary's practice is to credit Direct
Participants' accounts on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on the Depositary's records unless the Depositary has reason to believe that it will not
receive payment on such date. Payments by Direct and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held
for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such participants and not of the Depositary, the trustee, Kinross, or the Guarantor
Subsidiaries subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest to Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. is the
responsibility of Kinross, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of the Depositary, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the
responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. None of Kinross, the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for the disbursements of payments in respect of
ownership interests in the New&nbsp;Notes by the Depositary or the Direct or Indirect Participants or for maintaining or reviewing any records of the Depositary or the Direct or Indirect
Participants relating to ownership interests in the New&nbsp;Notes or the disbursement of payments in respect thereof. The information in this section concerning the Depositary and the Depositary's
system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but is subject to any changes to the arrangements between us and the Depositary and any changes to such procedures that may be
instituted unilaterally by the&nbsp;Depositary. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Initial settlement for the New&nbsp;Notes will be made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between Depositary
participants ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>DTC Participants</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the Depositary's rules and will be settled in immediately available
funds using the Depositary's Same-Day Funds Settlement System. Secondary market trading between Clearstream Banking&nbsp;S.A. ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Clearstream,
Luxembourg</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") participants ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Clearstream Participants</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") and/or Euroclear System
("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Euroclear</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") participants ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Euroclear Participants</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with
the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear, as&nbsp;applicable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cross-market
transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through the Depositary, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream Participants or Euroclear
Participants, on the other, will be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Depositary's rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its
U.S.&nbsp;depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in
accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement
requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S.&nbsp;depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering securities to or receiving securities from the Depositary, and
making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to the Depositary. Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants may not deliver
instructions directly to their respective U.S.&nbsp;depositaries. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because
of time-zone differences, credits of New&nbsp;Notes received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made during
subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the Depositary's settlement date. The credits or any transactions in the New&nbsp;Notes settled during the processing
will be reported to the relevant Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant on that business day. Cash received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of the
New&nbsp;Notes by or through a Clearstream Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the Depositary's settlement date but will be available in the
relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement through the&nbsp;Depositary. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each broker-dealer that receives New&nbsp;Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will
deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New&nbsp;Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with
resales of New&nbsp;Notes received in exchange for Initial Notes where the Initial Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, until
the earlier of the expiration of 180&nbsp;days after the exchange offer or such time as such broker-dealers no longer own any Initial Notes, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented,
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such&nbsp;resale. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New&nbsp;Notes by broker-dealers. New&nbsp;Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may
be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the New&nbsp;Notes or a combination of those
methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through
brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any of the New&nbsp;Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells
New&nbsp;Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of the New&nbsp;Notes may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any resale of New&nbsp;Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities&nbsp;Act. </FONT></P>

provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation, a former director or officer of the corporation or a person who acts or acted at the corporation's request as a
director or officer or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, (collectively, the "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Indemnified Party</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), against all costs,

the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;136
of the Act also provides that a corporation may, with the approval of the court, indemnify an Indemnified Party in respect of an action by or on behalf of the
corporation or other entity to obtain a judgment in its favor (a&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Derivative Action</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), to which the individual is made a party because of the
individual's association with the corporation or other entity, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such Derivative Action if the individual
fulfills the condition set forth in clauses&nbsp;(a) of the paragraph above. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Act provides that an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in
connection with the defense of such Action or Derivative Action to which the individual has been made party because of the individual's association with the corporation or such other entity; provided
that the Indemnified Party (i)&nbsp;fulfills the conditions set out in the clause&nbsp;(a) and&nbsp;(b) above, and (ii)&nbsp;was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have
committed any fault or to have omitted to do anything that such individual ought to have&nbsp;done. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Act also provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an Indemnified Party against liability incurred in the individual's capacity as a director

Bylaws of the Registrant provide that an Indemnified Party shall at all times be indemnified by the Registrant in every circumstance where the Act so permits or requires. The Bylaws

capacity, of the Registrant or properly incurs or has properly incurred any liability on behalf of the Registrant or who at any time acts or has acted at the Registrant's request (in&nbsp;respect of

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Bylaws further provide that the above described indemnification provisions shall not affect any other right to indemnification to which any person may be or become entitled by
contract or otherwise, and no settlement or plea of guilty in any action or proceeding shall alone constitute evidence that a person did not meet a condition set out in clause&nbsp;(a) or&nbsp;(b)
above or any corresponding condition in the Act. The Bylaws also provide that the persons described above shall not be liable for any damage, loss, cost or liability sustained or incurred by the
Registrant, except where so required by the Act, if such person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the Registrant (or&nbsp;of the entity for which the individual
acted as a director, officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant's request). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant has a policy of insurance for its directors and officers and those of its subsidiaries. The limit of liability applicable to all insured directors and officers under the
current policies, which will expire on May&nbsp;1, 2018, is $125&nbsp;million in the aggregate, inclusive of defense costs. Under the policies, the Registrant has reimbursement coverage to the
extent that it has indemnified the directors and officers in excess of a deductible of $5&nbsp;million for each loss for U.S.&nbsp;securities claims and $2.5&nbsp;million for each other loss.
The total premium charged to the Registrant in respect of coverage for 2017/2018 is $1,175,095, for 2016/2017 was $1,150,064 and for 2015/2016 was $1,118,403, no part of which is or was payable by the
directors or officers of the&nbsp;Registrant. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the&nbsp;"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Securities Act</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S.&nbsp;Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. </FONT></P>

attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith

proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, indemnification may be made
only for expenses and attorney fees actually and reasonably incurred by the persons described above in connection with the defense or settlement of an action, and only with respect to a matter as to
which such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of the person's duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite such adjudication of liability, in view of all of the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses that the court considers proper. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an
action or proceeding referred to in the first paragraph or the immediately foregoing paragraph of this section or in defense of a claim, issue, or matter in the action or proceeding, the director,
officer, employee, or agent shall be indemnified against expenses and attorney fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense. The bylaws also contain provisions substantially
similar to those of the ACC relating to the advancement of expenses and the non-exclusivity of the indemnification rights set forth in the&nbsp;ACC. </FONT></P>
