KINROSS REACHES AGREEMENT WITH UNIONS TO END STRIKE AT MARICUNGA

Kinross Gold Corp. has signed a memorandum of understanding with its two unions at its Maricunga mine in Chile to end a strike that started on March 5. Kinross has reached an agreement that is fair and reasonable to both its employees and the company and recognizes the cost challenges at Maricunga and the current gold price environment. The strike is not expected to affect the company's 2014 regional guidance for the Americas. Management plans to return to normal operations as soon as possible.
