16, 2020</B> &ndash; Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX:K; NYSE: KGC) (&ldquo;Kinross&rdquo;) is pleased to announce that it has completed
its previously disclosed acquisition of Chulbatkan, a high-quality, heap leach development project in Russia, from N-Mining Limited
(&ldquo;N-Mining&rdquo;) for total fixed consideration of $283 million.</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 has now commenced a comprehensive
exploration drilling program at Chulbatkan with the view to updating the current resource base at year-end 2020. Kinross expects
to spend approximately $10 million on initial exploration drilling at Chultbatkan during the year. The Company is also planning
to convert estimated mineral resources to estimated mineral reserves, complete pre-feasibility and feasibility studies for the
project within approximately three years, and is targeting a subsequent two-year construction period.</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">On October 18, 2019, the Company received
a timely anti-monopoly approval on the acquisition from the Russian regulators. All other conditions precedent regarding the acquisition
have been satisfied.</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">Chulbatkan is a relatively high-grade,
open-pit, heap leachable project and is expected to have significant upside potential. The Chulbatkan deposit is near surface with
highly continuous mineralization and is open along strike and at depth with potential for additional high-grade structures. Based
on substantial due diligence work and internal analysis, Kinross currently estimates approximately 3.9 million gold ounces in indicated
mineral resources and 80,000 gold ounces in estimated inferred mineral resources for the project.<SUP>[1]</SUP> The footprint of
the current Chulbatkan resource represents less than 1% of the total 120 sq. km license area, which hosts multiple, untested high-quality
targets.</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 accordance with the acquisition agreement,
the first installment of $141.5 million, plus $3.1 million of ordinary course working capital adjustments, representing approximately
50% of the $283 million purchase price, were paid. The agreement was amended to permit the first installment to be paid all in
cash, which has minimized share dilution and leveraged the Company&rsquo;s strong liquidity profile. The amendment also provides
that 60%, and at Kinross&rsquo; sole discretion up to 100%, of the second and final installment of $141.5 million, due on the first
anniversary of closing, may be paid in Kinross shares.</P>

</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; color: #C59B5F"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><I>All statements, other than statements
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;assumed&rdquo;, &ldquo;estimate&rdquo;,
 &ldquo;expects&rdquo;, &ldquo;exploration&rdquo;, &ldquo;feasibility&rdquo;, &ldquo;potential&rdquo;, &ldquo;pre-feasibility&rdquo;,
 &ldquo;target&rdquo;, &ldquo;upside&rdquo;, or &ldquo;view&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) the accuracy and reliability of the
mineral resource estimates of the project and the Company&rsquo;s analysis thereof being consistent with expectations (including
but not limited to tonnage and grade estimates) and the benefits to Kinross from the project and any upside from the project; (ii)
the completion, timing and results, of the planned exploration program and corresponding pre-feasibility or feasibility studies
being consistent with expectations; (iii) the Company&rsquo;s economic model, execution risk analysis, and preliminary mine plan;
(iv) projected production, all-in sustaining costs, capital expenditure and stripping estimates for the project; (v) the continued
availability of regional tax incentives; (vi) the successful development of the Chulbatkan project on the timelines anticipated,
or at all; (vii) impacts of the transaction on shareholder dilution and liquidity; (viii), share price volatility; and (ix) fluctuations
in the spot and forward price of gold, silver, or certain other commodities (such as, diesel fuel, natural gas, and electricity).
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 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&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. The technical information about the Company&rsquo;s
mineral properties in this presentation has been prepared under the supervision of Mr. John Sims, an officer of the Company who
is a &ldquo;qualified person&rdquo; within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.</I></P>
