Such factors include, but are not limited to: the inaccuracy of any of the foregoing assumptions; fluctuations in the currency markets; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain other commodities (such as fuel and electricity); price inflation of goods and services; changes in the discount rates applied to calculate the present value of net future cash flows based on country-specific real weighted average cost of capital; changes in the market valuations of peer group gold producers and the Company, and the resulting impact on market price to net asset value multiples; changes in various market variables, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, gold or silver prices and lease rates, or global fuel prices, that could impact the mark-to-market value of outstanding derivative instruments and ongoing payments/receipts under any financial obligations; risks arising from holding derivative instruments (such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark-to-market risk); changes in national and local government legislation, taxation (including but not limited to income tax, advance income tax, stamp tax, withholding tax, capital tax, tariffs, value-added or sales tax, capital outflow tax, capital gains tax, windfall or windfall profits tax, production royalties, excise tax, customs/import or export taxes/duties, asset taxes, asset transfer tax, property use or other real estate tax, together with any related fine, penalty, surcharge, or interest imposed in connection with such taxes), controls, policies and regulations; the security of personnel and assets; political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Chile, Brazil, Mauritania or other countries in which Kinross does business or may carry on business; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, us; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and complete divestitures; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining, development or refining activities; employee relations; litigation or other claims against, or regulatory investigations and/or any enforcement actions, administrative orders or sanctions in respect of the Company (and/or its directors, officers, or employees) including, but not limited to, securities class action litigation in Canada and/or the United States, environmental litigation or regulatory proceedings or any investigations, enforcement actions and/or sanctions under any applicable anti-corruption, international sanctions and/or anti-money laundering laws and regulations in Canada, the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction; the speculative nature of gold exploration and development including, but not limited to, the risks of obtaining and maintaining necessary licenses and permits; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; adverse changes in our credit ratings; and contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of gold exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or the inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, Kinross&#8217; 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.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In accordance with applicable Canadian securities regulatory requirements, all mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates of Kinross incorporated by reference in this prospectus have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument&#160;43-101&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (&#8220;NI&#160;43-101&#8221;), classified in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum&#8217;s &#8220;CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves Definitions and Guidelines&#8221; &#8203;(the &#8220;CIM Guidelines&#8221;). The definitions of mineral reserves and mineral resources are set out in our disclosure of our mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The terms &#8220;mineral reserve,&#8221; &#8220;proven mineral reserve,&#8221; &#8220;probable mineral reserve,&#8221; &#8220;mineral resource,&#8221; &#8220;measured mineral resource,&#8221; &#8220;indicated mineral resource&#8221; and &#8220;inferred mineral resource&#8221; are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI&#160;43-101 and the CIM Guidelines. The SEC adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act. These amendments became effective February&#160;25, 2019 (the &#8220;SEC Modernization Rules&#8221;) with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January&#160;1, 2021. Under the SEC Modernization Rules, subpart 1300 of Regulation&#160;S-K (&#8220;Subpart 1300&#8221;) replaced the property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC has amended its definitions of &#8220;proven mineral reserves&#8221; and &#8220;probable mineral reserves&#8221; to be &#8220;substantially similar&#8221; to the corresponding terms under the CIM Guidelines. In addition, the SEC now recognizes estimates of &#8220;measured mineral resources,&#8221; &#8220;indicated mineral resources&#8221; and &#8220;inferred mineral resources&#8221; and amending its definitions of &#8220;proven mineral reserves&#8221; and &#8220;probable mineral reserves&#8221; to be &#8220;substantially similar&#8221; to the corresponding definitions in the CIM Guidelines. Investors are cautioned that while the above terms are &#8220;substantially similar&#8221; to CIM Guidelines, there are differences in the definitions in Subpart 1300 and the CIM Guidelines. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as &#8220;proven mineral reserves,&#8221; &#8220;probable mineral reserves,&#8221; &#8220;measured mineral resources,&#8221; &#8220;indicated mineral resources&#8221; and &#8220;inferred mineral resources&#8221; under NI&#160;43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates under the standards set forth in Subpart&#160;1300. U.S. investors are also cautioned that while the SEC recognizes &#8220;measured mineral resources,&#8221; &#8220;indicated mineral resources&#8221; and &#8220;inferred mineral resources&#8221; under Subpart 1300, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, &#8220;inferred mineral resources&#8221; have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the &#8220;inferred mineral resources&#8221; exist. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of &#8220;inferred mineral resources&#8221; may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. </font>

If the Company ceases to be a foreign private issuer or loses its eligibility to file its annual report on Form&#160;40-F pursuant to the multijurisdictional disclosure system, then the Company will be subject to reporting pursuant to Subpart 1300, which differ from the requirements of NI&#160;43-101 and the CIM Guidelines. </font>

In addition most of our directors and officers named in this offering circular and the documents incorporated by reference herein are residents outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon those directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of such directors or officers under U.S. federal securities laws. We have been advised by Osler, Hoskin &amp; Harcourt&#160;LLP, our Canadian counsel, that a judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon civil liability under such laws may be enforceable in Canada if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that was recognized by an Ontario court for such purposes and if the other criteria generally applied by an Ontario court in determining whether to recognize a foreign judgment have been satisfied. We have also been advised by such counsel, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Ontario in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon such laws. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The New Notes will be issued by Kinross, a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries, which are incorporated in various jurisdictions, including Canada, the United States, Chile and Brazil. In the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or a similar event, proceedings could be initiated in any of these jurisdictions and in the jurisdiction of organization of a future guarantor of the New Notes. Your rights under the New Notes and the Guarantor Subsidiaries&#8217; Guarantees will thus be subject to the laws of several jurisdictions, and you may not be able to effectively enforce your rights in multiple bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar proceedings. Moreover, such multi-jurisdictional proceedings are typically complex and costly for creditors and often result in substantial uncertainty and delay in the enforcement of creditors&#8217; rights. </font>

The application of these various laws in multiple jurisdictions could trigger disputes over which jurisdictions&#8217; law should apply and could adversely affect your ability to enforce your rights and to collect payment in full under the New Notes, the Guarantees and any security. </font>

In a Florida bankruptcy case, this kind of provision was found to be ineffective to protect guarantees. In addition, enforcement of any of these Guarantees against any Guarantor Subsidiary will be subject to certain defenses available to guarantors generally. These laws and defenses include those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose or benefit, preservation of share capital, thin capitalization and regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Management believes that EBIT may be useful for potential purchasers of the Notes in assessing our operational performance as an indicator of our ability to service or incur indebtedness, make capital expenditures and finance working capital requirements. The items excluded from EBIT are significant in assessing our operating results and liquidity. Therefore, EBIT should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to operating income, cash provided from operating activities or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of EBIT to net earnings (loss) is set out in the table below: </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the New Notes, the Guarantees and the indenture. It does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the indenture, which we urge you to read because the indenture, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of the New Notes. The indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. You should refer to all the provisions of the indenture, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of December&#160;8, 2014, the second supplemental indenture, dated as of September&#160;1, 2016, the third supplemental indenture, dated as of March&#160;25, 2022, and the fourth supplemental indenture, dated as of June&#160;6, 2023, which we refer to herein as the &#8220;indenture,&#8221; including the definition of certain terms used therein. See &#8220;Where You Can Find More Information&#8221; above for information on how to obtain a copy. Terms used herein that are otherwise not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the indenture. Such defined terms shall be incorporated herein by reference. In this section the terms &#8220;Kinross,&#8221; &#8220;the Company,&#8221; &#8220;we,&#8221; &#8220;our,&#8221; and &#8220;us&#8221; refer only to Kinross Gold Corporation and not to any of its subsidiaries. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Initial Notes were initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. The New Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Kinross evidencing the same continuing indebtedness as the Initial Notes and will mature on July&#160;15, 2033. The New Notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.250% per year from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semi-annually in arrears on January&#160;15 and July&#160;15 of each year, to holders of record on the preceding January&#160;1 and July&#160;1, respectively, of each year, whether or not a business day. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">All payments will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of Taxes unless required by law or the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency. If we are so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes, we will pay as additional interest such additional amounts, as necessary, so that the net amount received by each holder of New Notes after the withholding or deduction is not less than the amount that each holder of New Notes would have received in the absence of the withholding or deduction. See &#8220;&#8212;&#8201;Payment of Additional Amounts.&#8221; If interest or principal on the New Notes is payable on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day when banks are not open for business in The City of New York, or place of payment, we will make the payment on the next business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of the delay in payment. </font>

New Notes may be presented for exchange or registration of transfer at the office of the registrar, which initially will be such office of the trustee. We will not charge a service fee for any registration of transfer or exchange of the New Notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. </font>

The Depositary holds and provides asset servicing for securities that the Depositary&#8217;s participants (&#8220;</font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Direct Participants</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;) deposit with the Depositary. The Depositary also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants&#8217; accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. The Depositary is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Depositary Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation (&#8220;DTCC&#8221;). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of the Depositary and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, and EMCC, respectively, also are subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the NYSE Euronext and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,&#160;Inc. Access to the Depositary&#8217;s system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (&#8220;</font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Indirect Participants</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;). The Depositary&#8217;s Rules applicable to its participants are on file with the SEC. </font>

The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of New Notes represented by the Global Securities (a &#8220;</font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Beneficial Owner</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;), is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants&#8217; records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from the Depositary of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmation providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in Global Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive New Notes in definitive form representing their ownership interests therein, except in the limited circumstances described under &#8220;&#8212;&#8201;Special Situations When a Global Security Will be Terminated.&#8221; </font>

The deposit of the Global Securities with the Depositary and their registration in the name of Cede &amp;&#160;Co. does not effect any change in beneficial ownership. The Depositary has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Global Securities representing the New Notes. The Depositary&#8217;s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such New Notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </font>

The Depositary&#8217;s practice is to credit Direct Participants&#8217; accounts on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on the Depositary&#8217;s records unless the Depositary has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such date. Payments by Direct and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in &#8220;street name,&#8221; and will be the responsibility of such participants and not of the Depositary, the trustee, Kinross, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest to Cede &amp;&#160;Co. is the responsibility of Kinross, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of the Depositary, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. None of Kinross, the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for the disbursements of payments in respect of ownership interests in the New Notes by the Depositary or the Direct or Indirect Participants or for maintaining or reviewing any records of the Depositary or the Direct or Indirect Participants relating to ownership interests in the New Notes or the disbursement of payments in respect thereof. The information in this section concerning the Depositary and the Depositary&#8217;s system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but is subject to any changes to the arrangements between us and the Depositary and any changes to such procedures that may be instituted unilaterally by the Depositary. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Initial Notes where the Initial Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, until the earlier of the expiration of 180&#160;days after the exchange offer or such time as such broker-dealers no longer own any Initial Notes, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New Notes by broker-dealers. New Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the New Notes or a combination of those methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any of the New Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells New Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of the New Notes may be deemed to be an &#8220;underwriter&#8221; within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any resale of New Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an &#8220;underwriter&#8221; within the meaning of the Securities Act. </font>

We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the New Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In accordance with the provisions of the ACC, the corporation&#8217;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for indemnification of any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to a completed, pending or threatened action or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officers, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Such indemnification includes the reimbursement of expenses, attorney fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, indemnification may be made only for expenses and attorney fees actually and reasonably incurred by the persons described above in connection with the defense or settlement of an action , and only with respect to a matter as to which such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of the person&#8217;s duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite such adjudication of liability, in view of all of the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the court considers proper. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action or proceeding referred to in the first paragraph or the immediately foregoing paragraph of this section or in defense of a claim, issue, or matter in the action or proceeding, the director, officer, employee, or agent shall be indemnified against expenses and attorney fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense. The bylaws also contain provisions substantially similar to those of the ACC relating to the advancement of expenses and the non-exclusivity of the indemnification rights set forth in the ACC. </font>
