The year-over-year decrease was due to lower production from Tasiast and Fort Knox, as planned. Average realized gold price9: The average realized gold price in Q3 2025 was $3,460 per ounce, compared with $2,477 per ounce in Q3 2024. Revenue: During the third quarter, revenue increased to $1,802.1 million, compared with $1,432.0 million during Q3 2024. The 26% year-over-year increase is due to the increase in the average realized gold price. Production cost of sales: Production cost of sales per Au eq. oz. sold2 was $1,150 for the quarter, compared with $976 in Q3 2024. Attributable production cost of sales per Au eq. oz. sold1 was $1,145 for the quarter, compared with $980 in Q3 2024, impacted by higher royalties as a result of recent gold prices. Attributable production cost of sales per Au oz. sold on a by-product basis1 was $1,102 in Q3 2025, compared with $956 in Q3 2024, based on attributable gold sales of 495,136 ounces and attributable silver sales of 787,523 ounces. Margins4: Kinross’ margin per Au eq. oz. sold increased by 54% to $2,310 for Q3 2025, compared with the Q3 2024 margin of $1,501, outpacing the 40% increase in average realized gold price. Attributable all-in sustaining cost1: Attributable all-in sustaining cost per Au eq. oz. sold was $1,622 in Q3 2025, compared with $1,350 in Q3 2024, primarily due to higher cost of sales. In Q3 2025, attributable all-in sustaining cost per Au oz. sold on a by-product basis was $1,588, compared with $1,332 in Q3 2024. Operating cash flow3: Operating cash flow increased to $1,024.1 million for Q3 2025, compared with $733.5 million for Q3 2024. Attributable adjusted operating cash flow1 for Q3 2025 increased to $845.2 million, compared with $625.0 million for Q3 2024. Attributable free cash flow1: Attributable free cash flow increased by 66% to $686.7 million in Q3 2025, compared with $414.6 million in Q3 2024. Reported net earnings5: Reported net earnings increased by 65% to $584.9 million for Q3 2025, or $0.48 per share, compared with reported net earnings of $355.3 million, or $0.29 per share, for Q3 2024. Adjusted net earnings6 increased by 77% to $529.6 million, or $0.44 per share, for Q3 2025, compared with $298.7, or $0.24 per share, for Q3 2024. Capital expenditures10: Capital expenditures were $312.2 million for Q3 2025, compared with $278.7 in Q3 2024. Attributable capital expenditures1 were $307.6 million for Q3 2025, compared with $275.5 million for Q3 2024. The increase was primarily a result of the ramp-up of development activities at Bald Mountain Redbird Phase 1, Great Bear and the Fennec satellite pit at Tasiast, partially offset by lower spending on capital development due to planned mine sequencing at Fort Knox and Manh Choh. Realized increased consideration from Chirano divestiture Related to the 2022 sale of the Chirano mine to Asante Gold Corporation (“Asante”), Kinross received cash payments from Asante and proceeds from the sale of securities that totaled $232 million in cash since the beginning of Q3 2025. Of this amount, approximately $136 million was received during Q3 2025 and $96 million was received subsequent to Q3 2025.  Since the closing of the transaction in 2022, overall Kinross has realized $314 million in cash proceeds compared with the original sale price of $225 million.  Balance sheet As of September 30, 2025, Kinross had cash and cash equivalents of $1,721.7 million, compared with $1,136.5 million at June 30, 2025, and net cash7 of approximately $485 million. The Company had additional available credit11 of $1.6 billion and total liquidity8 of approximately $3.4 billion as of September 30, 2025. During the quarter, S&P announced that it upgraded Kinross’ outlook from stable to positive and affirmed the Company’s investment-grade rating of BBB-. S&P noted Kinross’ strong cash flow, solid operating performance and debt reduction as key factors driving the improved outlook. Kinross announced today the early redemption of the outstanding 4.50% Senior Notes due July 15, 2027, which have an aggregate principal amount of $500 million, on December 4, 2025. After the Notes are redeemed, Kinross will have $750 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding, with the next Senior Notes maturity date on July 15, 2033, for $500 million in aggregate principal amount. Return of capital to shareholders Kinross is pleased to enhance its return of capital program as a result of its robust financial position and strong free cash flow and is now targeting approximately $750 million in shareholder returns in 2025 through both share buybacks and dividends. Kinross has increased its target for share buybacks by 20% to $600 million in 2025. During the quarter, Kinross repurchased approximately $165 million in shares, and approximately $405 million to date in 2025 (representing 23.3 million shares). Including its quarterly dividend, Kinross has returned approximately $515 million in capital to shareholders to date in 2025.  Kinross’ Board of Directors has also approved a 17% increase to the quarterly dividend to $0.035 per common share, which would amount to $0.14 per common share on an annualized basis. The third quarter dividend, having been approved by the Board of Directors, is payable on December 10, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 26, 2025. Operating results Mine-by-mine summaries for 2025 third-quarter operating results may be found on pages 10 and 14 of this news release. Highlights include the following: At Tasiast, production was in line with the previous quarter, with higher throughput offset by planned grades. Year-over-year production decreased due to planned grades, partially offset by higher recoveries following mill optimizations. Cost of sales per ounce sold increased quarter-over-quarter due to higher royalties and strong throughput at lower grades. Lower production resulted in higher costs year-over-year. At Paracatu, production was in line with the previous quarter, with strong mining rates and recoveries at higher grades offsetting lower planned throughput. Production was higher year-over-year due to higher grades, partially offset by a planned decrease in throughput due to mine sequencing, which moved into harder, higher-grade ore this year, and the timing of ounces processed through the mill. Cost of sales per ounce sold decreased quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year due to higher grades. La Coipa delivered higher quarter-over-quarter production as planned as mining transitioned to higher-grade ore from Phase 7, and higher production year-over-year as a result of stronger throughput and higher grades. Quarter-over-quarter cost of sales per ounce sold improved as a result of higher production from higher grades, and increased year-over-year due to higher royalties, labour and maintenance supply costs, partially offset by higher production. In the fourth quarter, production is expected to be stronger as mining continues through higher-grade ore from Phase 7. Permitting work for mine life extensions continues. At Fort Knox, production remained in line with the previous quarter, and decreased year-over-year primarily due to planned lower grades. Cost of sales per ounce sold increased quarter-over-quarter primarily due to a lower proportion of capital development tonnes mined at Phase 10. Year-over-year costs increased, as expected, primarily due to the lower proportion of capital development tonnes mined at Phase 10, higher labour and maintenance supply costs, partially offset by lower contractor costs. At Round Mountain, production was in line quarter-over-quarter, and decreased year-over-year per planned mine sequencing as the site transitions from Phase W to Phase S with lower mill grades and fewer ounces recovered from the heap leach pads. Costs of sales per ounce sold increased quarter-over-quarter primarily due to a lower proportion of Phase S mining characterized as capital development as it shifts into operating waste. Higher unit costs year-over-year were primarily due to the shift from capital to operating waste, and the decrease in ounces produced. At Bald Mountain, production decreased quarter-over-quarter due to planned grades, partially offset by an increase in tonnes of ore stacked. Year-over-year production was lower due to the timing of ounces recovered from the heap leach pads. Cost of sales per ounce sold was higher quarter-over-quarter, as expected, due to fewer ounces produced, and lower year-over-year as mining activities were largely focused on capital development. Development and exploration projects Great Bear At Great Bear, Kinross continues to progress its Advanced Exploration (“AEX”) program alongside permitting and detailed engineering for the Main Project.   For AEX, the natural gas pipeline is complete and has been commissioned, and the camp is now operational. Earthwork activities are well advanced, including the initial development of the portal boxcut, and the water treatment plant building is enclosed, with equipment installation currently in progress. The Company is currently working with the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks as it consults with First Nations to finalize the two remaining AEX water permits and, in the interim, permitted activities continue as planned. AEX is focused on providing access for infill drilling of the underground resource and exploration drilling to further delineate extensions of mineralization at depth. AEX is not on the critical path for first production at Great Bear.   For the Main Project, which is expected to remain on schedule, Kinross continues to progress detailed engineering for the mill, tailings management facility, and other site infrastructure. Initial procurement activities for major process and water treatment equipment are in progress, with contract awards planned to start before year-end. Manufacturing of selected long-lead items is anticipated to commence in 2026.  The first of three phased submissions for the Project’s Impact Statement was submitted on schedule in September. The second submission remains on track for mid-December 2025, with the final phase targeted to be filed at the end of Q1 2026. Work has commenced on initial Main Project Federal and Provincial permits, with permitting technical documents submitted to Fisheries and Oceans Canada during the quarter.  Kinross also advanced its regional exploration program with three diamond drill rigs testing geophysical and lithological targets during the quarter, looking for new, near-surface mineralization. Round Mountain Phase X Decline development at Round Mountain Phase X is advancing well, with over 5,200 metres developed to date. Extensive infill drilling has been completed in both the upper and lower mineralized zones. Third quarter drilling focused on further infill of the lower zone, with results continuing to intersect strong widths and grades, proving out the exploration thesis of a bulk tonnage underground mining target. Lower zone highlights include: DX-0152 – 53m @ 4.5 g/t Including 8m @ 8.6 g/t DX-0161 – 123m @ 3.5 g/t Including 12m @ 13.7 g/t DX-0176 – 74m @ 6.5 g/t Including 8m @ 11.4 g/t DX-0184 – 21m @ 3.9 g/t Including 2m @ 9.3 g/t DX-0190 – 56m @ 5.8 g/t Including 20m @ 13.7 g/t Engineering work and technical studies are also advancing well to support a production decision at Phase X. The extent of infill drilling is now sufficient to support an initial underground resource estimate, and Kinross plans to provide the initial resource estimate, a project update, and an economics update for Phase X in Q1 2026. See Appendix A for a Round Mountain Phase X long section. Bald Mountain Redbird At Redbird, mining is advancing on schedule. Studies and detailed engineering related to the potential Phase 2 extension of Redbird are progressing well, including engineering related to the heap leach pad expansion, technical studies and mine plan optimization work. Exploration drilling and technical studies targeting satellite pit opportunities on the large Bald Mountain property are progressing well and showing positive results with potential to augment the production profile from Redbird 2. Kinross plans to provide a project and economics update in Q1 2026. Curlew Basin exploration Drilling at Curlew in Q3 was primarily focused on infill drilling with results showing high-grade mineralization and good mining widths, supporting the resource estimate. Received assay highlights include (true width): EVP-1248 – 2.1m @ 22.3 g/tK5-1516 – 6.8m @ 8.2 g/tK5-1518 – 5.7m @ 8.4 g/t Kinross also completed the initial development of the Roadrunner decline and further extension of the North Stealth development in Q3, providing access for drilling of the high grade exploration target at Roadrunner and for drilling of potential extensions to the high grade mineralization at North Stealth. Exploration drilling in Q4 2025 and in 2026 will focus on expanding mineralization and resource potential in both of these areas. Technical studies and detailed engineering are also progressing well at Curlew. Kinross plans to provide a project and economics update for Curlew in Q1 2026. Lobo-Marte Kinross is progressing baseline studies to support the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Lobo-Marte project. Lobo-Marte continues to be a potential large, low-cost mine and Kinross is committed to progressing next steps to advance the project. Company Guidance The following section of the news release represents forward-looking information and users are cautioned that actual results may vary. We refer to the risks and assumptions contained in the Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information on pages 24 and 25. The Company expects to be slightly above the midpoint of its 2025 production guidance range of 2.0 million Au eq. oz. (+/- 5%), with fourth quarter production expected to be slightly lower than 500,000 Au eq. oz.

Recovery rates at Fort Knox and Round Mountain represent mill recovery only.(b) "nm" means not meaningful.(c) Gold equivalent ounces include silver ounces produced and sold converted to a gold equivalent based on the ratio of the average spot market prices for the commodities for each period. The ratios for the quarters presented are as follows: Q3 2025: 87.73:1; Q2 2025: 97.41:1; Q1 2025: 89.69:1; Q4 2024: 84.67:1; Q3 2024: 84.06:1.(d) “Production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold” is defined as production cost of sales divided by total gold equivalent ounces sold.(e) "Total Cap Ex" is as reported as “Additions to property, plant and equipment” on the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. "Cap Ex - sustaining" is a non-GAAP financial measure. The definition and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure is included on pages 20 to 21 of this news release.(f) La Coipa silver grade and recovery were as follows: Q3 2025: 41.34 g/t, 49%; Q2 2025: 28.89 g/t, 50%; Q1 2025: 31.97 g/t, 60%; Q4 2024: 42.57 g/t, 43%; Q3 2024: 49.13 g/t, 58%.(g) The Fort Knox segment is composed of Fort Knox and Manh Choh.

The attributable results for Fort Knox include 100% of Fort Knox and 70% of Manh Choh.    Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios in this document. These financial measures and ratios are not defined under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation. The Company believes that these financial measures and ratios, together with financial measures and ratios determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The inclusion of these financial measures and ratios is meant to provide additional information and should not be used as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures and ratios are not necessarily standard and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers. Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures and ratios 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 (reversals), 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 and ratios, 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 and ratios are not necessarily indicative of net earnings and earnings per share measures and ratios as determined under IFRS. The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings for the periods presented:                (expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,    2025  2024   2025  2024          Net earnings attributable to common shareholders - as reported$584.9 $355.3  $1,483.6 $673.2  Adjusting items:       Foreign exchange losses (gains) 9.8  4.8   28.6  (5.1)  Foreign exchange (gains) losses on translation of tax basis and foreign exchange on deferred income taxes within income tax expense (15.6) 7.7   (36.6) 32.0   Taxes in respect of prior periods 3.3  (0.2)  (1.3) (22.9)  Impairment reversal -  (74.1)  -  (74.1)  Gain on sale of Asante holdings(a) (53.0) -   (53.0) -   Tasiast mill fire related costs -  -   13.0  -   Insurance recoveries -  -   -  (22.9)  Other(b) 0.9  0.8   4.3  16.2   Tax effects of the above adjustments (0.7) 4.4   (4.0) 1.9     (55.3) (56.6)  (49.0) (74.9) Adjusted net earnings$529.6 $298.7  $1,434.6 $598.3  Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - Basic 1,215.3  1,229.0   1,223.8  1,228.8  Adjusted net earnings per share$0.44 $0.24  $1.17 $0.49  Basic earnings per share attributable to common shareholders - as reported$0.48 $0.29  $1.21 $0.55           (a) The gain on sale of Asante holdings includes interest income of $21.8 million related to prior periods.(b) Other includes various impacts, such as settlement provisions, one-time costs and credits at sites, restructuring costs, adjustments related to prior years as well as gains and losses on assets and hedges, which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s underlying performance for the reporting period.    Attributable Free Cash Flow Attributable free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net cash flow provided from operating activities less attributable capital expenditures and non-controlling interest included in net cash flows provided from operating activities. The Company believes that this measure, which is used internally to evaluate the Company’s underlying cash generation performance and the ability to repay creditors and return cash to shareholders, provides investors with the ability to better evaluate the Company’s underlying performance. However, this measure is not necessarily indicative of operating earnings or net cash flow provided from operating activities as determined under IFRS. The following table provides a reconciliation of attributable free cash flow for the periods presented:           (expressed in millions of U.S. dollars)Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,    2025  2024   2025  2024          Net cash flow provided from operating activities - as reported$1,024.1 $733.5  $2,613.6 $1,711.9  Adjusting items:      Attributable(a) capital expenditures (307.6) (275.5)  (813.5) (772.1) Non-controlling interest(b) cash flow from operating activities (29.8) (43.4)  (96.0) (34.0) Attributable(a) free cash flow$686.7 $414.6  $1,704.1 $905.8                   See pages 21 and 22 for details of the footnotes referenced within the table above. Attributable Adjusted Operating Cash Flow Attributable adjusted operating cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net cash flow provided from operating activities excluding changes in working capital, certain impacts which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s regular operating cash flow, and net cash flows provided from operating activities, net of working capital changes, relating to non-controlling interests. Working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors, including the timing of tax payments. The Company uses attributable 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, the attributable adjusted operating cash flow measure is not necessarily indicative of net cash flow provided from operating activities as determined under IFRS. The following table provides a reconciliation of attributable adjusted operating cash flow for the periods presented:                 (expressed in millions of U.S. dollars)Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,    2025  2024   2025  2024          Net cash flow provided from operating activities - as reported$1,024.1 $733.5  $2,613.6 $1,711.9          Adjusting items:       Insurance proceeds received in respect of prior years -  -   -  (22.9)  Working capital changes:       Accounts receivable and other assets 48.0  30.9   33.7  15.9   Inventories 19.9  11.5   49.4  3.1   Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other, including income taxes paid (209.8) (108.2)  (228.5) (137.3)    882.2  667.7   2,468.2  1,570.7  Non-controlling interest(b) cash flow from operating activities, net of working capital changes (37.0) (42.7)  (102.9) (41.7) Attributable(a) adjusted operating cash flow$845.2 $625.0  $2,365.3 $1,529.0                   See pages 21 and 22 for details of the footnotes referenced within the table above. Attributable Average Realized Gold Price per Ounce Attributable average realized gold price per ounce is a non-GAAP ratio which calculates the average price realized from gold sales attributable to the Company. The Company believes that this measure provides a more accurate measure with which to compare the Company's gold sales performance to market gold prices. The following table provides a reconciliation of attributable average realized gold price per ounce for the periods presented:                 (expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except ounces and average realized gold price per ounce)Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,    2025  2024   2025  2024          Metal sales - as reported$1,802.1 $1,432.0  $5,028.1 $3,733.0  Less: silver revenue(c) (32.3) (21.5)  (77.4) (97.3) Less: non-controlling interest(b)gold revenue (57.8) (67.5)  (165.9) (67.5) Attributable(a)gold revenue$1,712.0 $1,343.0  $4,784.8 $3,568.2          Gold ounces sold 511,564  569,506   1,547,223  1,578,232  Less: non-controlling interest(b)gold ounces sold (16,428) (27,676)  (51,575) (27,676) Attributable(a)gold ounces sold 495,136  541,830   1,495,648  1,550,556  Attributable(a)average realized gold price per ounce$3,458 $2,479  $3,199 $2,301  Average realized gold price per ounce(d)$3,460 $2,477  $3,200 $2,304           See pages 21 and 22 for details of the footnotes referenced within the table above.  Attributable Production Cost of Sales per Equivalent Ounce Sold Production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold is defined as production cost of sales, as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations, 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 equivalent ounce sold is a non-GAAP ratio 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 attributable non-gold production into gold equivalent ounces and credits it to total attributable production. Management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate the performance of its operating properties that are attributable to its shareholders. The following table provides a reconciliation of production cost of sales and attributable production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold for the periods presented:            (expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except ounces and production cost of sales per equivalent ounce)Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,    2025  2024   2025  2024          Production cost of sales - as reported$598.6 $564.3  $1,713.7 $1,613.3  Less: non-controlling interest(b) production cost of sales (21.3) (24.9)  (64.5) (24.9) Attributable(a) production cost of sales$577.3 $539.4  $1,649.2 $1,588.4          Gold equivalent ounces sold 520,733  578,323   1,571,045  1,621,483  Less: non-controlling interest(b) gold equivalent ounces sold (16,622) (27,775)  (52,070) (27,775) Attributable(a) gold equivalent ounces sold 504,111  550,548   1,518,975  1,593,708  Attributable(a) production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold$1,145 $980  $1,086 $997  Production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold(e)$1,150 $976  $1,091 $995                   See pages 21 and 22 for details of the footnotes referenced within the table above. Attributable Production Cost of Sales per Ounce Sold on a By-Product Basis Attributable production cost of sales per ounce sold on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP ratio 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 ratio 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:                 (expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except ounces and production cost of sales per ounce)Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,    2025  2024   2025  2024          Production cost of sales - as reported$598.6 $564.3  $1,713.7 $1,613.3  Less: non-controlling interest(b) production cost of sales (21.3) (24.9)  (64.5) (24.9) Less: attributable(a) silver revenue(c) (31.7) (21.4)  (75.8) (97.2) Attributable(a) production cost of sales net of silver by-product revenue$545.6 $518.0  $1,573.4 $1,491.2          Gold ounces sold 511,564  569,506   1,547,223  1,578,232  Less: non-controlling interest(b) gold ounces sold (16,428) (27,676)  (51,575) (27,676) Attributable(a) gold ounces sold 495,136  541,830   1,495,648  1,550,556  Attributable(a) production cost of sales per ounce sold on a by-product basis$1,102 $956  $1,052 $962  Production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold(e)$1,150 $976  $1,091 $995                   See pages 21 and 22 for details of the footnotes referenced within the table above.  Attributable All-In Sustaining Cost and All-In Cost per Ounce Sold on a By-Product Basis Attributable all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost per ounce sold on a by-product basis are non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, as applicable, calculated based on guidance published by the World Gold Council (“WGC”). 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 metrics. Adoption of the all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost metrics is voluntary and not necessarily standard, and therefore, these measures and ratios presented by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures and ratios presented by other issuers. The Company believes that the all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost measures complement existing measures and ratios 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, i.e. a by-product. 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, including capitalized development, 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 production cost of sales, as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, as follows:                 (expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except ounces and costs per ounce)Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,    2025  2024   2025  2024          Production cost of sales - as reported$598.6 $564.3  $1,713.7 $1,613.3  Less: non-controlling interest(b)production cost of sales (21.3) (24.9)  (64.5) (24.9) Less: attributable(a)silver revenue(c) (31.7) (21.4)  (75.8) (97.2) Attributable(a)production cost of sales net of silver by-product revenue$545.6 $518.0  $1,573.4 $1,491.2  Adjusting items on an attributable(a)basis:       General and administrative(f) 31.2  27.2   96.5  90.3   Other operating expense - sustaining(g) 0.4  2.5   1.5  4.9   Reclamation and remediation - sustaining(h) 21.7  18.4   66.4  56.1   Exploration and business development - sustaining(i) 10.7  10.6   38.5  32.4   Additions to property, plant and equipment - sustaining(j) 174.7  141.8   406.6  367.6   Lease payments - sustaining(k) 1.8  3.2   4.4  9.9  All-in Sustaining Cost on a by-product basis - attributable(a)$786.1 $721.7  $2,187.3 $2,052.4  Adjusting items on an attributable(a)basis:       Other operating expense - non-sustaining(g) 24.2  12.9   59.5  32.8   Reclamation and remediation - non-sustaining(h) 2.3  1.7   6.9  5.1   Exploration and business development - non-sustaining(i) 38.9  38.3   113.8  113.0   Additions to property, plant and equipment - non-sustaining(j) 132.9  133.7   406.9  404.5   Lease payments - non-sustaining(k) 0.2  0.1   0.6  0.2  All-in Cost on a by-product basis - attributable(a)$984.6 $908.4  $2,775.0 $2,608.0  Gold ounces sold 511,564  569,506   1,547,223  1,578,232  Less: non-controlling interest(b)gold ounces sold (16,428) (27,676)  (51,575) (27,676) Attributable(a)gold ounces sold 495,136  541,830   1,495,648  1,550,556  Attributable(a)all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold on a by-product basis$1,588 $1,332  $1,462 $1,324  Attributable(a)all-in cost per ounce sold on a by-product basis$1,989 $1,677  $1,855 $1,682  Production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold(e)$1,150 $976  $1,091 $995                   See pages 21 and 22 for details of the footnotes referenced within the table above.  Attributable All-In Sustaining Cost and All-In Cost per Equivalent Ounce Sold The Company also assesses its attributable all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost on a gold equivalent ounce basis. Under these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, 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 production cost of sales, as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, as follows:                 (expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except ounces and costs per ounce)Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,    2025  2024   2025  2024          Production cost of sales - as reported$598.6 $564.3  $1,713.7 $1,613.3  Less: non-controlling interest(b) production cost of sales (21.3) (24.9)  (64.5) (24.9) Attributable(a) production cost of sales$577.3 $539.4  $1,649.2 $1,588.4  Adjusting items on an attributable(a)basis:       General and administrative(f) 31.2  27.2   96.5  90.3   Other operating expense - sustaining(g) 0.4  2.5   1.5  4.9   Reclamation and remediation - sustaining(h) 21.7  18.4   66.4  56.1   Exploration and business development - sustaining(i) 10.7  10.6   38.5  32.4   Additions to property, plant and equipment - sustaining(j) 174.7  141.8   406.6  367.6   Lease payments - sustaining(k) 1.8  3.2   4.4  9.9  All-in Sustaining Cost - attributable(a)$817.8 $743.1  $2,263.1 $2,149.6  Adjusting items on an attributable(a)basis:       Other operating expense - non-sustaining(g) 24.2  12.9   59.5  32.8   Reclamation and remediation - non-sustaining(h) 2.3  1.7   6.9  5.1   Exploration and business development - non-sustaining(i) 38.9  38.3   113.8  113.0   Additions to property, plant and equipment - non-sustaining(j) 132.9  133.7   406.9  404.5   Lease payments - non-sustaining(k) 0.2  0.1   0.6  0.2  All-in Cost - attributable(a)$1,016.3 $929.8  $2,850.8 $2,705.2  Gold equivalent ounces sold 520,733  578,323   1,571,045  1,621,483  Less: non-controlling interest(b)gold equivalent ounces sold (16,622) (27,775)  (52,070) (27,775) Attributable(a) gold equivalent ounces sold 504,111  550,548   1,518,975  1,593,708  Attributable(a) all-in sustaining cost per equivalent ounce sold$1,622 $1,350  $1,490 $1,349  Attributable(a) all-in cost per equivalent ounce sold$2,016 $1,689  $1,877 $1,697  Production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold(e)$1,150 $976  $1,091 $995                   See pages 21 and 22 for details of the footnotes referenced within the table above. Capital Expenditures and Attributable Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures are classified as either sustaining capital expenditures or non-sustaining capital expenditures, depending on the nature of the expenditure. Sustaining capital expenditures typically represent capital expenditures at existing operations including capitalized exploration costs and capitalized development unless related to major projects, 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 non-sustaining capital expenditures. Non-sustaining capital expenditures represent capital expenditures for major projects, including major capital development projects at existing operations that are expected to materially benefit the operation, as well as enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations. Management believes the distinction between sustaining capital expenditures and non-sustaining expenditures is a useful indicator of the purpose of capital expenditures and this distinction is an input into the calculation of attributable all-in sustaining costs per ounce and attributable all-in costs per ounce. The categorization of sustaining capital expenditures and non-sustaining capital expenditures is consistent with the definitions under the WGC all-in cost standard. Sustaining capital expenditures and non-sustaining capital expenditures are not defined under IFRS, however, the sum of these two measures total to additions to property, plant and equipment as disclosed under IFRS on the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Additions to property, plant and equipment per the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows includes 100% of capital expenditures for Manh Choh. Attributable capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure and includes Kinross' 70% share of capital expenditures for Manh Choh. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of Kinross’ cash resources utilized for capital expenditures.

(a) “Attributable” measures and ratios include Kinross’ share of Manh Choh (70%) sales, costs, cash flows and capital expenditures.(b) “Non-controlling interest” represents the non-controlling interest portion in Manh Choh (30%) and other subsidiaries for which the Company’s interest is less than 100% for cash flow from operating activities, costs, sales and capital expenditures, as appropriate.(c) “Silver revenue” represents the portion of metal sales realized from the production of secondary or by-product metal (i.e. silver), which is produced as a by-product of the process used to produce gold and effectively reduces the cost of gold production.(d) “Average realized gold price per ounce” is defined as gold revenue divided by total gold ounces sold.(e) “Production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold” is defined as production cost of sales divided by total gold equivalent ounces sold.(f) “General and administrative” expenses are as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, excluding certain impacts which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s underlying performance for the reporting period. 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.(g) “Other operating expense – sustaining” is calculated as “Other operating expense” as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, less the non-controlling interest portion in Manh Choh (30%) and other subsidiaries for which the Company’s interest is less than 100% and other operating and reclamation and remediation expenses related to non-sustaining activities as well as other items not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company. 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.(h) “Reclamation and remediation – sustaining” is calculated as current period accretion related to reclamation and remediation obligations plus current period amortization of the corresponding reclamation and remediation assets, less the non-controlling interest portion in Manh Choh (30%) and other subsidiaries for which the Company’s interest is less than 100%, 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.(i) “Exploration and business development – sustaining” is calculated as “Exploration and business development” expenses as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, less the non-controlling interest portion in Manh Choh (30%) and other subsidiaries for which the Company’s interest is less than 100% and non-sustaining exploration and business development 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 are therefore 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 classified as either sustaining or non-sustaining based on a determination of the type of expense and requirement for general or growth-related operations.(j) “Additions to property, plant and equipment – sustaining” and “non-sustaining” are as presented on pages 20 and 21 of this news release and include Kinross’ share of Manh Choh’s (70%) sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures.(k) “Lease payments – sustaining” represents the majority of lease payments as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and is made up of the principal and financing components of such cash payments, less the non-controlling interest portion in Manh Choh (30%) and other subsidiaries for which the Company’s interest is less than 100%, and non-sustaining lease payments. Lease payments for development projects or closed mines are classified as non-sustaining.(l) The Fort Knox segment is composed of Fort Knox and Manh Choh for all periods presented.    Appendix A Figure 1: Extensive infill drilling has established strong coverage across both the upper and lower target zones, and extension drilling continues to indicate continuation of mineralization down dip outside of the original exploration target.

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; 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, tariffs, policies and regulations; the security of personnel and assets; political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Chile, Brazil, 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 and maintaining 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. All of the forward-looking statements made in this news release are qualified by this cautionary statement and those made in our other filings with the securities regulators of Canada and the United States including, but not limited to, the cautionary statements made in the “Risk Analysis” section of our MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the “Risk Factors” set forth in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 27, 2025. 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. Key Sensitivities Approximately 70%-80% of the Company's costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. A 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would be expected to result in an approximate $25 impact on attributable production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold1, 12. Specific to the Brazilian real, a 10% change in the exchange rate would be expected to result in an approximate $45 impact on Brazilian attributable production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold1. Specific to the Chilean peso, a 10% change in the exchange rate would be expected to result in an approximate $50 impact on Chilean attributable production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold1. A $10 per barrel change in the price of oil would be expected to result in an approximate $3 impact on attributable production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold1. A $100 change in the price of gold would be expected to result in an approximate $5 impact on attributable production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold1 as a result of a change in royalties.
