Toronto, Ontario - Kinross Gold Corporation
("Kinross" or the "Company") (TSX-K; NYSE-KGC) Pursuant to the
alternative information guidelines of the Ontario Securities
Commission ("OSC") Policy 57-603 and Canadian Securities
Administrators Staff Notice 57-301, Kinross is providing bi-weekly
updates to the market regarding the process relating to the
preparation and filing of its financial statements and related
matters, until such time as Kinross is current with its filing
obligations under Canadian securities laws. As previously
disclosed, Kinross has not yet filed its audited 2004 financial
statements as a result of the review of the accounting treatment
for the goodwill associated with the TVX Gold/Echo Bay merger.
There have been no new material events since the press release
dated October 20, 2005 when Kinross released preliminary, unaudited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and
restated preliminary, unaudited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2003. Kinross is currently working with its
auditors to finalize these financial statements and expect that
they should be filed within two to three weeks. Once those
statements have been completed and filed, Kinross will file its
interim financial statements for 2004 and 2005 in sequence followed
by other required filings. Regulators may have comments on any of
these filings. The interim statements are currently expected to be
filed by calendar year end.
We are issuing bi-weekly updates as to the status and timing
which can be viewed on our website at www.kinross.com. The next
update is scheduled for the week of November 7, 2005.
