In September 2020, Kinross acquired 70% of the Manh Choh project (formerly the Peak project) in Alaska, located approximately 400 kilometres southeast of Fort Knox. 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.

Kinross will process Manh Choh ore at Fort Knox utilizing the existing mill and infrastructure to benefit both the project and the mine. Commissioning of the Fort Knox mill is expected in Q3 2024.

In 2024, exploration programs are continuing at Fort Knox and Manh Choh, including regional reconnaissance work across the broader Tetlin land package.
