<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>Toronto, Ontario,&nbsp;August 4, 2023</B> &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 renew its normal course issuer bid (&ldquo;NCIB&rdquo;)
program.</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">Under the NCIB program, the Company is authorized
to purchase up to 108,440,227 of its common shares (out of the 1,227,579,280 common shares outstanding as at July 31, 2023) representing
up to 10% of the Company&rsquo;s public float of 1,084,402,272 common shares, during the period starting on August 9, 2023 and ending
on August 8, 2024.</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">In deciding to establish the NCIB program, the
Company believes 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.</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 may make purchases, from time to time,
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 TSX and/or NYSE or under applicable law. Daily repurchases on the TSX will
be limited to a maximum of 780,692 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume for the six months ended July 31,
2023 (being 3,122,768 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. Pursuant to the terms of the previous normal course issuer bid approved by the
TSX on July 29, 2022, as amended with such amendment approved by the TSX on September 30, 2022, the Company was authorized to repurchase
up to 114,047,070 of its common shares and repurchased an aggregate of 78,857,250 common shares, which shares were cancelled.</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">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.</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">In connection with the NCIB program, the Company
has entered into an automatic repurchase plan with its designated broker to allow for purchases of its common shares during certain pre-determined
black-out periods, based on Company instructions provided when not in black out, should the Company determine to proceed with purchases
under the ASPP. Outside of these pre-determined black-out periods, any repurchases of common shares will be repurchased in accordance
with management&rsquo;s discretion, subject to applicable law. 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 under this NCIB.</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 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 31, 2022, and the Annual Information Form dated March 31,
2023. 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 31, 2022 and the Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2023. 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>
