Kinross Gold Corporation was established in 1993 and has since grown to become the third largest primary gold producer in North America by reserves.  Based in Canada, with nine mines in stable countries including the United States, Brazil, Chile and Russia, Kinross employs more than 5,000 people worldwide.

Kinross’ core purpose is to lead the world in generating value through mining.  With a growing reserve base, production that is expected to increase 60% over 2007 levels by 2009 and cash costs that are expected to improve as our new growth projects come into production, Kinross is uniquely positioned among major gold producers to continue generating superior value for shareholders.

Kinross’ strategic focus is to deliver disciplined growth that increases margins and cash flow per share by executing against our Four-Point Plan: delivering solid performance from our assets; focusing on best talent and best teams; establishing the building blocks for the future; and driving future value.
