Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking


Information
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained or incorporated by reference in or made in giving this presentation and responses to questions, including but not limited to any information as
to the future performance of Kinross, constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including the provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario) and the provisions for “safe harbor” under
the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation
include, without limitation, statements with respect to: the identification of future mineral resources at our projects; the schedules for the Company’s development projects including the Tasiast 24K and the ramp up of operations
at La Coipa; the declaration, payment and sustainability of the Company’s dividends or share repurchases; our guidance for production, production costs of sales, cash flow, free cash flow, all-in sustaining cost of sales, and
capital expenditures; future production growth; throughput rates at the Company’s operations; the future performance of the Company’s common share trading price; the future of the Company’s liquidity, balance sheet and credit
ratings; as well as references to other possible events, the future price of gold and silver, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, operating costs; capital expenditures, costs and timing of the
development of projects and new deposits, estimates and the realization of such estimates (such as mineral or gold reserves and resources or mine life), success of exploration programs, development and mining, currency
fluctuations, capital requirements, project studies, government regulation, permit applications, restarting suspended or disrupted operations, environmental risks and legal proceedings, and resolution of pending litigation. The
words “expect”, “forecast”, “future”, “guidance”, “outlook”, “plan”, “positioned”, “potential”, “target” or “upside”, or variations of or similar such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results may, can, could,
would, should, might, indicates, or will be taken, and similar expressions identify forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered
reasonable by Kinross as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, legislative and competitive risks and uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the inaccuracy of any of the foregoing assumptions, restrictions or penalties now or subsequently
imposed, other actions taken, by, against, in respect of or otherwise impacting any jurisdiction in which the Company is domiciled or operates (including but not limited to Canada, the European Union and the United States), or any
government or citizens of, persons or companies domiciled in, or the Company’s business, operations or other activities in, any such jurisdiction; fluctuations in the currency markets; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold
or certain other commodities (such as fuel and electricity); price inflation of goods and services; changes in the discount rates applied to calculate the present value of net future cash flows based on country-specific real
weighted average cost of capital; changes in the market valuations of peer group gold producers and the Company, and the resulting impact on market price to net asset value multiples; changes in various market variables, such
as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, gold or silver prices and lease rates, or global fuel prices, that could impact the mark-to-market value of outstanding derivative instruments and ongoing payments/receipts under any
financial obligations; risks arising from holding derivative instruments (such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark-to-market risk); changes in national and local government legislation, taxation (including but not limited to
income tax, advance income tax, stamp tax, withholding tax, capital tax, tariffs, value-added or sales tax, capital outflow tax, capital gains tax, windfall or windfall profits tax, production royalties, excise tax, customs/import or export
taxes/duties, asset taxes, asset transfer tax, property use or other real estate tax, together with any related fine, penalty, surcharge, or interest imposed in connection with such taxes), controls, policies and regulations; the security
of personnel and assets; political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Chile, Brazil, Russia, Mauritania, or other countries in which Kinross does business or may carry on business; business opportunities that
may be presented to, or pursued by, us; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and complete divestitures; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining, development or refining activities; employee relations;
litigation or other claims against, or regulatory investigations and/or any enforcement actions, administrative orders or sanctions in respect of the Company (and/or its directors, officers, or employees) including, but not limited to,
securities class action litigation in Canada and/or the United States, environmental litigation or regulatory proceedings or any investigations, enforcement actions and/or sanctions under any applicable anti-corruption, international
sanctions and/or anti-money laundering laws and regulations in Canada, the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction; the speculative nature of gold exploration and development including, but not limited to, the risks of
obtaining necessary licenses and permits; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; adverse changes in our credit ratings; and contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties. In addition, there are
risks and hazards associated with the business of gold exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion
losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or the inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, Kinross’ actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Kinross, including but not limited to resulting in an impairment charge on goodwill and/or assets. There can be no
assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose
of providing information about management’s expectations and plans relating to the future. The estimates, models and assumptions of Kinross referenced, contained or incorporated by reference in this presentation, which may
prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the various assumptions set forth herein and in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the period ended March 31, 2023, the Annual Information Form dated
March 31, 2023 and the “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information” in our news release dated May 9, 2023, to which readers are referred and which are incorporated by reference in this presentation, all of which
qualify any and all forward‐looking statements made in this presentation. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Kinross. Kinross disclaims any intention or obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law.

First Quarter 2023

Round Mountain
Q1 Production on Plan

• Mill recovery outperformed plan,


partially driven by bringing flotation
expansion online earlier than planned
• Cash costs expected to remain
elevated through 2023 as mining
continues in higher stripping benches
of Phase W
• Cash costs expected to decrease next
year driven by mining lower strip
benches of Phase W
• Underground exploration decline
advancing

18
First Quarter 2023

Round Mountain – Phase X


Focused on Higher-Margin UG Potential at Phase X
• Progressing decline to start definition drilling in early 2024
• Advancing studies and permitting in parallel to advance path to first production
• Vein intercepts and early mine designs confirming potential for high-productivity low-
cost underground operation at Phase X given wide and consistent nature of
mineralization: +10m wide mineralized zones at average grade of 3 to 4 g/t

19
First Quarter 2023

Gold Hill
Potential High-Grade Underground Satellite to Supplement Phase X UG
• Drilling suggests a series of narrower, higher-grade parallel veins extending from the
open pit
• Lower production, higher-grade underground satellite would supplement Phase X UG
ore feed and benefit from synergies of combined operations
