In September 2020, Kinross acquired 70% of the Manh Choh project in Alaska, located approximately 400 kilometres southeast of Fort Knox. Manh Choh ore is processed at Fort Knox utilizing the existing mill and infrastructure and the project poured its first gold bar on July 8, 2024.

Manh Choh is expected to increase Kinross’ production profile in Alaska by a total of approximately 640,000 attributable Au eq. oz. over the life of mine.

In 2024, 4,760 metres of drilling was completed across six target areas identifying encouraging skarn alteration at three targets that will be followed up on in 2025.
