CEO Commentary

J. Paul Rollinson, CEO, made the following comments in relation to 2014 second-quarter results:

"Kinross' focus on financial discipline and operational excellence continues to deliver results, with another strong quarter that puts the Company at the high end of its 2014 guidance range on production, and the low end of its 2014 guidance range on costs at the half-year mark.

"All-in sustaining cost is down compared with the first quarter of 2014 and the same quarter last year, as we continue to focus on opportunities to reduce spending across the Company. The Russia region is outperforming on both costs and production, while our West Africa operations have reduced their operating costs in the first half of 2014 compared with the last six months of 2013. In the Americas, operational improvements at Maricunga in the first half of 2014 have increased production by 40% and reduced cost of sales per ounce, compared with the second half of 2013.

"With strong, consistent performance from our core assets, we are also advancing opportunities for new production. We continue to explore project financing options for a potential Tasiast expansion as we pursue opportunities to enhance project economics and reduce execution risk. In addition, with encouraging exploration results at La Coipa, we plan to launch a pre-feasibility study in the second half of 2014 to explore the possible re-start of operations."

The following operating and financial results are based on second-quarter 2014 gold equivalent production from continuing operations. Production and cost measures are on an attributable basis:

Production: Kinross produced 679,831 attributable Au eq. oz. in the second quarter of 2014, a 4% increase over the second quarter of 2013, mainly due to increased production at Kupol as a result of processing higher grade ore from Dvoinoye.

Production cost of sales: Production cost of sales per Au eq. oz.2 was $742 for the second quarter of 2014, compared with $737 for the second quarter of 2013. Production cost of sales per Au oz.2 on a by-product basis was $725 in Q2 2014, compared with $697 in Q2 2013, based on Q2 2014 attributable gold sales of 681,974 ounces and attributable silver sales of 1,396,135 ounces.

All-in sustaining cost: All-in sustaining cost per Au eq. oz. sold2 decreased to $976 in Q2 2014, compared with $1,038 in Q2 2013, primarily due to decreases in sustaining capital and exploration and business development expenditures.

All-in sustaining cost per Au oz. sold on a by-product basis2 was $967 in Q2 2014, compared with $1,017 in Q2 2013.

Revenue: Revenue from metal sales was $911.9 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $968.0 million during the same period in 2013. The decrease was due mainly to the lower average realized gold price for the quarter.

Average realized gold price: The average realized gold price was $1,285 per ounce in Q2 2014, compared with $1,394 per ounce in Q2 2013.

Margins: Kinross' attributable margin per Au eq. oz. sold4 was $543 for the second quarter of 2014, compared with the Q2 2013 margin of $657 per Au eq. oz. sold.

Operating cash flow: Adjusted operating cash flow2 was $228.3 million for the second quarter of 2014, or $0.20 per share, compared with $256.7 million, or $0.22 per share, for Q2 2013.

Earnings: Adjusted net earnings2,3 were $32.9 million, or $0.03 per share, for Q2 2014, compared with adjusted earnings of $119.5 million, or $0.10 per share, for Q2 2013, mainly due to a lower average realized gold price.

Reported net earnings3 were $46.0 million, or $0.04 per share, for Q2 2014, compared with a loss of $2,481.9 million, or $2.17 per share, in Q2 2013. The reported net loss from Q2 2013 included an after-tax non-cash impairment charge of $2,289.3 million.

Capital expenditures: Capital expenditures decreased to $120.0 million for Q2 2014, compared with $321.0 million for the same period last year, due mainly to lower spending at Tasiast.

Operating results

Mine-by-mine summaries for second-quarter 2014 operating results can be found on pages 13 and 17 of this news release. Highlights include the following:

Americas

Regional performance was strong in Q2, as production was higher compared with the previous quarter due to the expected seasonal increase of heap leach processing at Fort Knox, better grades at Kettle-River Buckhorn and improved heap leach performance at Maricunga. Regional production5 was in line year over year due to higher grades and improved performance at Maricunga, offset by the impact of lower mill grades at Fort Knox. Maricunga saw a 40% increase in production in the first half of 2014 compared with the last six months of 2013 as a result of improvements to the crushing plant, and enhanced management of the heap leach and ADR plant. As a result of the variability of B1 ore, Paracatu began processing a greater percentage of B2 ore, which has higher grades and a higher work index. This includes blending B1 and B2 ore through both Plant 1 and Plant 2, which resulted in Q2 production comparable to the previous quarter, as higher grades and better recoveries in both plants offset lower throughput.

Production cost of sales per ounce in the second quarter increased compared with Q1 2014 and Q2 2013. The increase was due mainly to higher cost of sales at Fort Knox as the operation entered a phase of the mine that has more operating waste and lower grades, which is expected to continue for another quarter, with mill grades expected to improve in the fourth quarter. Paracatu has maintained its cost of sales per ounce compared with the previous quarter, while improved efficiencies at Maricunga have resulted in a 19% reduction in costs per ounce compared with Q2 2013. The region is on target to meet both production and production cost of sales guidance for the year.

Russia

The combined Kupol and Dvoinoye operation continued to perform well in Q2, with higher production compared with the previous quarter and year over year. Gold grades at the combined operation increased by 23% compared with Q2 2013 due to the processing of higher grade ore from Dvoinoye, partially offset by the anticipated decline in grades at Kupol. Approximately 83,000 Au eq. oz. were produced from processing Dvoinoye ore in the expanded Kupol mill during Q2, in line with the previous quarter.

Production cost of sales per ounce increased slightly compared with the previous quarter, due mainly to higher ounces sold from Kupol. The region is on track to be at the higher end of production and lower end of cost of sales guidance for the year.

West Africa

The region remains on target to meet its production guidance for the year, although production was lower compared with the previous quarter and year over year. As expected, Chirano production was down compared with Q1 2014 due mainly to lower throughput as a result of mill repairs, which were completed ahead of schedule in June. The lower throughput at Chirano was partially offset by prioritizing the processing of higher grade ore. At Tasiast, production was down slightly from the previous quarter as a result of lower mill grades.

Production cost of sales per ounce decreased 13% compared with Q2 2013 due mainly to the move to self-perform at Chirano, and continuous improvement programs at Tasiast. Production cost of sales per ounce were comparable with the previous quarter, with a small increase at Chirano due to lower production and mill repair costs. The region remains on target to meet its production cost of sales guidance for the year.

Tasiast expansion project update

Kinross continues to pursue a number of opportunities to further enhance the viability of a potential expansion at Tasiast. The project execution plan is being further defined and optimized, the bidders list for preassembly work has been expanded and commercial terms solicited, permitting approval for the seawater pipeline has been obtained, and an agreement-in-principle has been reached with an engineering firm for the project execution stage. The Company has engaged BNP Paribas to assist with securing project financing, and is considering financing in the range of $700 - $750 million of the project's cost, with the balance of funding expected to come from existing cash balances and cash flow.

Discussions continue between the Company and the Government of Mauritania on a range of tax- and labour-related issues. The Company has advised the Government that the results of this exercise will be an important consideration in its investment decision, and is targeting to have these issues resolved in advance of its decision, which is not expected until 2015.

La Coipa Phase 7 update

Kinross expects to move forward with a pre-feasibility study (PFS) in the second half of 2014 to explore re-start options at La Coipa. The proposed PFS will focus on the Pompeya pit (Phase 7), and oxide/transition mineral resources at the existing Puren deposit, and follows the completion of a Phase 7 scoping study in 2013. Kinross will also conduct a scoping study focusing on processing options for known near-surface sulfide mineralization in the district. Exploration continues at La Coipa, with some attractive opportunities being assessed to extend the mine life beyond what the PFS will contemplate.

Liquidity

On July 28, 2014, the Company extended the maturity dates of its $500 million term loan and $1.5 billion revolving credit facility by one year to August 10, 2018 and August 10, 2019, respectively. With this extension completed, the Company's only debt maturity prior to 2018 is the $250 million Senior Notes due 2016 and regular principal amortization payments due on the Kupol loan of $110 million.

During the quarter, the Company also increased the Export Development Canada letter of credit guarantee facility for reclamation bonding obligations on its US properties from $200 million to $250 million.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $738.7 million as at June 30, 2014, compared with $734.5 million as at December 31, 2013.

Board of Directors update

Mr. John Macken has resigned from the Kinross Board of Directors, effective today. Kinross thanks him for his contributions to the Company.

Key Sensitivities

Approximately 60%-70% of the Company's costs are denominated in US dollars.

A 10% change in foreign exchange could result in an approximate $12 impact on production cost of sales per ounce6.

A $10 per barrel change in the price of oil could result in an approximate $3 impact on production cost of sales per ounce.

The impact on royalties of a $100 change in the gold price could result in an approximate $3 impact on production cost of sales per ounce.

Other information

Where we say "we", "us", "our", the "Company", or "Kinross" in this news release, we mean Kinross Gold Corp. and/or one or more or all of its subsidiaries, as may be applicable.

The technical information about the Company's material mineral properties contained in this news release has been prepared under the supervision of and verified by Mr. John Sims, an officer of the Company who is a "qualified person" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures

The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this document. These measures are not defined under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation. The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The inclusion of these measures is meant to provide additional information and should not be used as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily standard and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP measures which determine the performance of the Company, excluding certain impacts which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period, such as the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses, reassessment of prior year taxes and/or taxes otherwise not related to the current period, impairment charges, gains and losses and other one-time costs related to acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions, and non-hedge derivative gains and losses. Although some of the items are recurring, the Company believes that they are not reflective of the underlying operating performance of its current business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Management believes that these measures, which are used internally to assess performance and in planning and forecasting future operating results, provide investors with the ability to better evaluate underlying performance, particularly since the excluded items are typically not included in public guidance. However, adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share measures are not necessarily indicative of net earnings and earnings per share measures as determined under IFRS.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings from continuing operations to adjusted net earnings from continuing operations for the periods presented:

The Company makes reference to a non-GAAP measure for adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted operating cash flow per share. Adjusted operating cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations excluding certain impacts which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's regular operating cash flow, and excluding changes in working capital. Working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors, including the timing of tax payments, and in the case of Kupol, a build-up of inventory due to transportation logistics. The Company uses adjusted operating cash flow internally as a measure of the underlying operating cash flow performance and future operating cash flow-generating capability of the Company. However, adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted operating cash flow per share measures are not necessarily indicative of net cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS.

Consolidated production cost of sales per gold equivalent ounce sold is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as production cost of sales as per the consolidated financial statements divided by the total number of gold equivalent ounces sold. This measure converts the Company's non-gold production into gold equivalent ounces and credits it to total production.

Attributable production cost of sales per gold equivalent ounce sold is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as attributable production cost of sales divided by the attributable number of gold equivalent ounces sold. This measure converts the Company's non-gold production into gold equivalent ounces and credits it to total production.

Management uses these measures to monitor and evaluate the performance of its operating properties. The following table presents a reconciliation of consolidated and attributable production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold for the periods presented:

Attributable production cost of sales per ounce sold on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP measure which calculates the Company's non-gold production as a credit against its per ounce production costs, rather than converting its non-gold production into gold equivalent ounces and crediting it to total production, as is the case in co-product accounting. Management believes that this measure provides investors with the ability to better evaluate Kinross' production cost of sales per ounce on a comparable basis with other major gold producers who routinely calculate their cost of sales per ounce using by-product accounting rather than co-product accounting.

The following table provides a reconciliation of attributable production cost of sales per ounce sold on a by-product basis for the periods presented:

In June 2013, the World Gold Council ("WGC") published its guidelines for reporting all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs. The WGC is a market development organization for the gold industry and is an association whose membership comprises leading gold mining companies including Kinross. Although the WGC is not a mining industry regulatory organization, it worked closely with its member companies to develop these non-GAAP measures. Adoption of the all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost metrics is voluntary and not necessarily standard, and therefore, these measures presented by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that the all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost measures complement existing measures reported by Kinross.

All-in sustaining cost includes both operating and capital costs required to sustain gold production on an ongoing basis. The value of silver sold is deducted from the total production cost of sales as it is considered residual production. Sustaining operating costs represent expenditures incurred at current operations that are considered necessary to maintain current production. Sustaining capital represents capital expenditures at existing operations comprising mine development costs and ongoing replacement of mine equipment and other capital facilities, and does not include capital expenditures for major growth projects or enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations.

All-in cost is comprised of all-in sustaining cost as well as operating expenditures incurred at locations with no current operation, or costs related to other non-sustaining activities, and capital expenditures for major growth projects or enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations.

Attributable all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost per ounce sold on a by-product basis are calculated by adjusting total production cost of sales, as reported on the consolidated statement of operations, as follows:

The Company also assesses its all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost on a gold equivalent ounce basis. Under these non-GAAP measures, the Company's production of silver is converted into gold equivalent ounces and credited to total production.

Attributable all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost per equivalent ounce sold are calculated by adjusting total production cost of sales, as reported on the consolidated statement of operations, as follows:

(1) "Portion attributable to Chirano non-controlling interest" represents the non-controlling interest (10%) in the production cost of sales for the Chirano mine.
(2) "Attributable" includes Kinross' share of Chirano (90%) production.
(3) "Attributable silver revenues" represents the attributable portion of metal sales realized from the production of the secondary or by-product metal (i.e. silver). Revenue from the sale of silver, which is produced as a by-product of the process used to produce gold, effectively reduces the cost of gold production.
(4) "General and administrative" expenses is as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations, net of certain severance expenses. General and administrative expenses are considered sustaining costs as they are required to be absorbed on a continuing basis for the effective operation and governance of the Company.
(5) "Other operating expense - sustaining" is calculated as "Other operating expense" as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations, less other operating expenses related to non-sustaining activities. Other operating expenses are classified as either sustaining or non-sustaining based on the type and location of the expenditure incurred. The majority of other operating expenses that are incurred at existing operations are considered costs necessary to sustain operations, and are therefore classified as sustaining. Other operating expenses incurred at locations where there is no current operation or related to other non-sustaining activities are classified as non-sustaining.
(6) "Reclamation and remediation" is calculated as current period accretion related to reclamation and remediation obligations plus current period amortization of the corresponding reclamation and remediation assets, and is intended to reflect the periodic cost of reclamation and remediation for currently operating mines. Reclamation and remediation costs for development projects or closed mines are excluded from this amount and classified as non-sustaining.
(7) "Exploration and business development - sustaining" is calculated as "Exploration and business development" expenses as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations, less non-sustaining exploration expenses. Exploration expenses are classified as either sustaining or non-sustaining based on a determination of the type and location of the exploration expenditure. Exploration expenditures within the footprint of operating mines are considered costs required to sustain current operations and so are included in sustaining costs. Exploration expenditures focused on new ore bodies near existing mines (i.e. brownfield), new exploration projects (i.e. greenfield) or for other generative exploration activity not linked to existing mining operations are classified as non-sustaining. Business development expenses are considered sustaining costs as they are required for general operations.
(8) "Additions to property, plant and equipment - sustaining" represents the majority of capital expenditures at existing operations including capitalized exploration costs, capitalized stripping and underground mine development costs, ongoing replacement of mine equipment and other capital facilities and other capital expenditures and is calculated as total additions to property, plant and equipment (as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows), less capitalized interest and non-sustaining capital. Non-sustaining capital represents capital expenditures for major growth projects as well as enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations. Non-sustaining capital expenditures during the second quarter and first six months of 2014 relate to projects at Tasiast, Chirano and Dvoinoye.
(9) "Portion attributable to Chirano non-controlling interest" represents the non-controlling interest (10%) in the ounces sold for the Chirano mine.
