 &ndash; Kinross Gold Corporation (&ldquo;Kinross&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC) is pleased to announce that
the Toronto Stock Exchange (the &ldquo;TSX&rdquo;) has accepted the notice filed by the Company to amend its normal course issuer bid
(&ldquo;NCIB&rdquo;) program effective as of October&nbsp;4, 2022.</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">The amendment increases the maximum number of
common shares that may be repurchased from 65,002,277 of its common shares (out of the 1,300,045,558 common shares outstanding as at July&nbsp;27,
2022) representing 5% of the Company&rsquo;s issued and outstanding common shares, to 114,047,070 of its common shares, representing 10%
of the Company&rsquo;s &ldquo;public float&rdquo; as at July&nbsp;27, 2022.</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">Purchases under the NCIB began on August&nbsp;3,
2022 and will end no later than August&nbsp;2, 2023. Under its current NCIB, Kinross has repurchased for cancellation an aggregate of
14,657,908 common shares since August&nbsp;3, 2022 through September&nbsp;27, 2022.</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">The amendment to the NCIB is being made pursuant
to the enhanced share buyback program announced by the Company on September&nbsp;19, 2022 and is consistent with the Company&rsquo;s view
that the market price of the common shares may not, from time to time, fully reflect their value, and accordingly, the purchase of the
common shares would be in the best interest of the Company and an attractive and appropriate use of available funds. Kinross is committed
to enhancing shareholder returns through programs such as a share buyback and its quarterly dividend, which are underpinned by the Company&rsquo;s
investment grade balance sheet, strong free cash flow position and growing production profile from its global portfolio.</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">Kinross may make any purchases through the facilities
of the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange (the &ldquo;NYSE&rdquo;) and/or alternative Canadian trading systems, if eligible, or by such
other means as may be permitted by the Ontario Securities Commission, Canadian Securities Administrators and applicable law. Daily repurchases
on the TSX will be limited to a maximum of 1,158,750 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume for the six months
ended June&nbsp;30, 2022 (being 4,635,002 common shares), except where purchases are made in accordance with the &ldquo;block purchase
exception&rdquo; of the TSX rules. Subject to certain exceptions for block purchases, the maximum number of common shares which can be
purchased per day on the NYSE will be 25% of the average daily trading volume for the four calendar weeks preceding the date of purchase.
All shares purchased by the Company under the NCIB program will be cancelled.</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">Purchases will be made by the Company in accordance
with the requirements of the TSX and/or the NYSE and the price which the Company will pay for any such common shares will be the market
price of any such common shares at the time of acquisition, or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX and/or the NYSE. In connection
with the amended NCIB program, the Company has entered into an amended automatic repurchase plan with its designated broker to allow for
purchases of its common shares during certain pre-determined black-out periods, subject to certain parameters as to price and number of
common shares. Outside of these pre-determined black-out periods, common shares will be repurchased in accordance with management&rsquo;s
discretion, subject to applicable law.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Although the Company has a present intention to
acquire its common shares pursuant to the NCIB program, the Company will not be obligated to make any purchases and purchases may be suspended
by the Company at any time.</P>

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. Forward-looking statements contained in this news release, include, but are not limited to, those
relating to potential purchases under the Company&rsquo;s NCIB. The words &ldquo;anticipate&rdquo;, &ldquo;continue&rdquo;, &ldquo;estimates&rdquo;,
 &ldquo;expects&rdquo;, &ldquo;forecast&rdquo;, &ldquo;guidance&rdquo;, &ldquo;intends&rdquo;, &ldquo;outlook&rdquo;, &ldquo;progress&rdquo;,
 &ldquo;potential&rdquo;, &ldquo;prioritize&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, models 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, 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&nbsp;31, 2021, and the Annual Information Form&nbsp;dated
March&nbsp;31, 2022. 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: the inaccuracy of any of the foregoing assumptions. Many of these uncertainties
and contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, Kinross&rsquo; 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&nbsp;31, 2021 and the Annual Information Form&nbsp;dated March&nbsp;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
