Kinross acquired the Lobo-Marte gold project in northern Chile on January 8, 2009 from Teck Cominco Limited and certain subsidiaries of Anglo American plc.

Close to 30,000 hectares in size, Lobo-Marte is located in the Maricunga mining district, roughly midway between Kinross' Maricunga and La Coipa mines.

Given priorities for capital allocation, Lobo-Marte's timeline has been extended. Kinross is reviewing opportunities to optimize the project, including re-evaluating various project configurations and development scenarios, and exploring logistical efficiencies and consolidation of resources between nearby Kinross operations. Meanwhile, Kinross also plans to complete permitting, and conduct further drilling at the nearby Valy deposit.
