Kinross Gold Corporation, a world-class gold company based in Canada, was established in 1993 and has since grown to become the third largest primary gold producer in North America by reserves. With nine mines in stable countries including the United States, Brazil, Chile and Russia, Kinross employs more than 5,000 people worldwide.

With three world-class projects in development driving 60% growth over the next two years, Kinross has one of the best project pipelines in the industry with a declining cost profile. As production increases from 1.6 ounces in 2007 up to 2.6 – 2.7 million in 2009, costs are expected to decline – truly unique among senior gold producers.
