quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.

As previously disclosed, the Company has revised its production
guidance and now expects to produce approximately 2.2 million gold

results, the Company expects cost of sales per gold equivalent ounce
guidance to be US$435-450.

Kinross currently expects its gold equivalent production in 2010 to be

to issue comprehensive guidance on 2010 production and costs in
January 2010.
