with host governments and local health authorities to ensure proper protocols are followed during the ongoing crisis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Business continuity plans have been prepared
and implemented for each site to mitigate operational and supply chain risk. To help mitigate operational risks, the Company has
implemented screening, isolation and quarantine procedures for all employees arriving at Kinross&rsquo; remote camp-based sites,
adjusted rotation schedules and is limiting site access, among other measures. In the supply chain area, mitigation measures include
initiating a process to increase stocks of key consumables to at least three months on hand, ordering additional critical spares,
assessing potential disruptions, and identifying alternative sources of supply.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Kinross continues to maintain a strong
financial position and liquidity. As a precautionary measure to protect against economic and business uncertainties caused by the
pandemic and subsequent government actions, Kinross drew down $750 million from its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility on March
20, 2020. The Company does not currently plan to deploy the funds given its strong financial position. As of March 31, 2020, Kinross
has more than $1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, reflecting cash flow from operations in Q1 2020 offset by payments related
to the Chulbatkan acquisition, a tax payment in Brazil, a semi-annual interest payment for Kinross&rsquo; senior notes, and repayment
of the amount drawn on the credit facility at December 31, 2019.</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">As previously planned, Kinross has submitted
a drawdown notice for $200 million on the $300 million Tasiast project financing facility. The first funds are expected in mid-April
2020. The financing, which was signed on December 16, 2019, is an asset recourse loan with the IFC (a member of the World Bank
Group), Export Development Canada, ING Bank and Soci&eacute;t&eacute; G&eacute;n&eacute;rale.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">At this time, the Company has total debt
of approximately $2.5 billion, and net debt<SUP>1</SUP> of less than $1.5 billion. The Company has no debt maturities until September
2021. Despite the Company&rsquo;s strong financial position, Kinross continues to plan for the potential impact of a wide range
of outcomes on its financial position and balance sheet, including reviewing discretionary capital expenditures.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Kinross has also continued to assess the
potential impacts of the pandemic on its 2020 production and cost guidance. While the crisis has had no material impacts on the
Company&rsquo;s operations to date, Kinross has decided to withdraw its full-year 2020 guidance. The Company believes this is the
prudent approach given the pandemic&rsquo;s significant impact on the world economy, the implications of government-mandated constraints
on financial, commercial and business activities, and the potential for further business disruptions and global health impacts.
Favourable fuel prices and foreign exchange rates are expected to provide offsets to some of the incremental costs resulting from
Kinross&rsquo; contingency measures. The Company will continue to target the safe delivery of its operating plans, notwithstanding
the potential impacts of the global crisis.</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">For the first quarter of 2020, the Company
expects gold sales to be slightly lower than production due to the impacts of the global crisis on timing of sales and metal shipments.
Kinross is actively managing its metal shipments to mitigate impacts of the suspension, or risk of suspension, of operations at
several refineries. Alternate transportation channels have been secured and further contingency plans are being prepared. Kinross&rsquo;
preliminary Q1 2020 production, which has been impacted in part by crisis-related contingency measures, is expected to be approximately
560,000 Au eq. oz., with sales of approximately 540,000 Au eq. oz. Preliminary cost of sales per ounce sold for Q1 2020 is expected
to be at the higher end of the original annual guidance range.</P>

of historical fact, contained or incorporated by reference in this news release including, but not limited to, 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
provisions for &ldquo;safe harbor&rdquo; under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based
on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this news release. The words &ldquo;continue&rdquo;, &ldquo;estimate&rdquo;,
 &ldquo;expect&rdquo;, &ldquo;goal&rdquo;, &ldquo;guidance&rdquo;, &ldquo;initiate&rdquo;, &ldquo;mitigate&rdquo;, &ldquo;plan&rdquo;,
 &ldquo;potential&rdquo;, &ldquo;target&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 referenced, contained or incorporated
by reference in this news release, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, guidance for production, production
costs of sales forecasts for the Company meeting expectations; the continued operation of the Company&rsquo;s mines; the Company&rsquo;s
financial position; the availability of the Company&rsquo;s Tasiast project financing; as well as the various assumptions set forth
herein and in our Management&rsquo;s Discussion and Analysis (&ldquo;MD&amp;A&rdquo;) for the year ended December 31, 2019, and
the Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2020. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: operational or financial impacts
resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company&rsquo;s financial position; the availability of the Company&rsquo;s Tasiast project
financing; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain other commodities (such as fuel and electricity) and in
currency exchange rates; the effectiveness of preventative actions and contingency plans put in place by the Company to respond
to the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, social distancing, a non-essential travel ban, business continuity plans,
and efforts to mitigate supply chain disruptions; changes in national and local government legislation or other government actions,
particularly in response to the COVID-19 outbreak; escalation of travel restrictions on people or products; adverse changes in
our credit ratings or access to credit and capital markets; and reductions in the ability of the Company to transport and refine
dor&eacute;. 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, 2019 and the Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2020. These factors

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>
