complied with all government mandates related to COVID-19 prior to the strike and will continue to do so going forward. While the
Company disagrees with the basis for the strike, it remains open to discussions with the staff delegates.</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 in this news release constitute &quot;forward-looking information&quot; or &quot;forward-looking statements&quot;
within the meaning of certain securities laws, including the provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario) and the provisions for
 &quot;safe harbor&quot; 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;, &quot;development&quot;, and
 &quot;expect&quot; or variations of or similar such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results will
affect, or will occur or result, and similar such expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Kinross as of the date of such statements,
are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. These uncertainties and contingencies can 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. 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. All of the forward looking statements made
in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements and those made in our filings with the securities regulators
of Canada and the U.S, including but not limited to those made in the &quot;Risk Analysis&quot; section of our full year 2019
management's discussion and analysis, the &quot;Risk Factors&quot; section of our Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2020
and the &ldquo;Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information&rdquo; in our news release dated May 5, 2020. 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 whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, or to explain
any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by
applicable law.</I>&nbsp;</P>
