<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. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, without limitation, statements with respect
to the completion and timing of the sale of its Russian assets; the schedule of payments in secured instalments over the next five years;
and projected timing of Russian government approvals. 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 acquisition in accordance with, and on the timeline contemplated by, the terms and conditions of the relevant
agreements, on a basis consistent with our expectations; (ii) that, in the event any deferred payment is not paid to Kinross, the security
package, including share pledges, financial guarantees and an escrow account, will be realized and enforceable in a manner consistent
with the Company&rsquo;s expectations; (iii) that economic and sectoral sanctions (or similar laws) will not adversely impact the transaction
or the parties&rsquo; ability to discharge their obligations under the transaction agreements, including payment of the purchase price;
and (iv) that the necessary approvals from the applicable Russian government authorities will be obtained in a timely manner, or at all.
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, including the risk that the sale transaction will not be completed for any reason
and that the secured installment payments are actually paid to Kinross. 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, 2021 and the Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2022. 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>
