Paracatu Expansion (100%)Paracatu Expansion (100%)

Optimizing…

Ø Purchased 51% of Paracatu from Rio Tinto for $260 million, transaction closed December 31, 2004

Ø Kinross is 100% owner and operator

Ø Paracatu mine life greater than 20 years

Ø Increases Kinross’ proven and probable gold reserves by 4.2 million oz.

Ø Eliminates one joint venture relationship

Ø Potential synergies with Gurupi in Northern Brazil (currently in feasibility)

Paracatu AcquisitionParacatu Acquisition


Ø Increase milling capacity and improve efficiency resulting in:

• Increased gold recoveries

• Lower costs

• Increased resources due to lower cutoff grade

Ø Increase production to 250,000 oz/yr (100%) thru 2025

• Average yearly production in first 5 years of +300,000 ozs (100%)

Ø Reviewing feasibility

• Construction 2005/06; and production early 2007

• Current cost estimated $111M (100%)
