of historical fact, contained in this news release, including any information as to the future financial or operating performance
of Kinross, constitute &ldquo;forward-looking information&rdquo; or &ldquo;forward-looking statements&rdquo; within the meaning
of certain securities laws, including the provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario) and the &ldquo;safe harbor&rdquo; provisions
under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on the expectations, estimates and projections
of management as of the date of this news release, unless otherwise stated. The words &ldquo;targeted&rdquo; and &ldquo;upside&rdquo;
or variations of or similar such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results may, could, should or
will be achieved, received or taken, or will occur or result and similar such expressions identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are, necessarily, based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable
by Kinross as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties
and contingencies. The estimates and assumptions of Kinross contained in this news release, which may prove to be incorrect, include,
but are not limited to: (i) that the parties will complete the transaction in accordance with, and on the timeline contemplated
by, the terms and conditions of the relevant agreements, on a basis consistent with our expectations; and (ii) that the near- and
long-term value of the Maverix shares are consistent with our current expectations. 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&rsquo;s expectations
and plans relating to the future. All of the forward-looking statements made in this news release are qualified by this cautionary
statement and those made in our other filings with the securities regulators of Canada and the United States including, but not
limited to, the cautionary statements made in the &ldquo;Risk Analysis&rdquo; section of our MD&amp;A for the year ended December
31, 2018 and the Annual Information Form dated March 29, 2019. 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 law. </I></P>
