 &ndash; Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX:K; NYSE:KGC) (&ldquo;Kinross&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) announced today that it has completed
the sale of all its interest in the Chirano mine in Ghana to Asante Gold Corporation (CSE: ASE; FSE: 1A9; GSE:ASG) (&ldquo;Asante&rdquo;)
for a total consideration of $225 million in cash and shares.</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">&ldquo;With the completion of the sale of Chirano,
we are focused on generating value from our rebalanced portfolio, with approximately 70% of our production in 2022 expected from our mines
in the Americas,&rdquo; said J. Paul Rollinson, Kinross President and CEO. &ldquo;We would like to thank our employees at Chirano for
their hard work and contributions to the Company. The team at Chirano exemplifies our commitments to safety, environmental stewardship
and generating benefits for local communities. We are also pleased we are able to continue to participate in Chirano&rsquo;s success through
our shareholdings in Asante, who also owns the neighbouring Bibiani mine, which recently completed its first gold pour after restarting
operations.&rdquo;&nbsp;</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">Kinross received $60 million in cash and 34,962,584
Asante common shares (&ldquo;Asante Shares&rdquo;) having a total value of $36.2 million based on an Asante Share price of $1.04 (CAD$1.34)
per share, which is the volume-weighted average price of each Asante Share for the 30 trading days ending August 9, 2022. The Company
has agreed that it will hold its Asante Shares, which represent 9.9% of ownership in Asante, for at least 12 months following the close
of the transaction.</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">Kinross will also receive a total deferred payment
of $128.8 million in cash, with $55 million payable on the six-month anniversary of closing, and $36.9 million payable on each of the
one-year and two-year anniversaries of closing. While the transaction payment terms were amended from the previous announcement on April
25, 2022, the total purchase price of $225 million remains the same. The deferred payments are being secured by guarantees and pledges
of downstream entities that own the Chirano mine.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</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. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, without limitation, statements with respect
the payment of deferred consideration over the next two years; the geographic location of Kinross&rsquo; future gold production. 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. The words &ldquo;estimate&rdquo;, &ldquo;expects&rdquo; or &ldquo;goal&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 deferred payments will be made on the timeline set forth in the definitive transaction agreement, or at all; (ii) that, in the event
any deferred payment is not paid to Kinross, it will be able to enforce its rights under the relevant agreements in a manner consistent
with its expectations; and (iii) that the value of the Asante Shares will be equal to or higher than their acquisition price at the end
of the 12-month hold period. 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>
