J. Paul Rollinson, CEO, made the following comments in relation to 2026 second-quarter results:

“Kinross delivered a strong second quarter, generating over $725 million of free cash flow supported by solid production, disciplined cost management and strong margins. We returned more than $275 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, and we remain on track to achieve our commitment of returning 40% of annual free cash flow to shareholders in 2026. Our balance sheet remains in excellent shape and was further strengthened during the quarter, providing significant flexibility to continue advancing our high-quality development pipeline while returning capital to shareholders.

“Our project pipeline continues to advance well. We were pleased to announce a Lobo-Marte project update, highlighting its potential to produce approximately 350,000 gold ounces per year at $1,000 per ounce AISC with robust economics, building on our nearly 30-year history in Chile. Alongside continued progress at Great Bear and our U.S. projects, Lobo-Marte reinforces the significant value embedded in our project portfolio. Together, these projects support our delivery of sustainable long-term value through disciplined growth and the execution of our grade enhancement strategy.

“As we advance our operations and development projects, responsible mining remains at the core of our approach. This quarter, we published our 18th Sustainability Report, highlighting progress across key priorities including biodiversity conservation, water stewardship and community partnerships. These efforts support our commitment to creating long-term value for shareholders while making positive contributions for our stakeholders.

“Looking ahead, we are focused on maintaining our operational momentum, holding the line on costs and delivering robust margins and free cash flow. With a strong balance sheet, attractive return-of-capital framework, and compelling pipeline of development and exploration opportunities, Kinross remains well positioned to continue responsibly delivering value for our shareholders.”

Average realized gold price9: The average realized gold price during the quarter was $4,483 per ounce, compared with $3,284 per ounce in Q2 2025, a 37% increase year-over-year.

Revenue: Revenue increased to $2,238.1 million in the second quarter, compared with $1,728.5 million during Q2 2025. The 29% year-over-year increase was due to the increase in the average realized gold price.

Production cost of sales: Production cost of sales per Au eq. oz. sold2 increased to $1,352 in the second quarter, compared with $1,080 in Q2 2025. Attributable production cost of sales per Au eq. oz. sold1 increased to $1,336 for the quarter, compared with $1,074 in Q2 2025. The increases were mainly due to higher fuel costs, higher royalty costs as a result of the higher average realized gold price, as well as higher labour costs.

Attributable production cost of sales per Au oz. sold on a by-product basis1 was $1,253 in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $1,044 in the second quarter of 2025, based on attributable gold sales of 477,879 ounces and silver sales of 761,479 ounces.

Margins4: Kinross’ margin per Au eq. oz. sold increased by 42% to $3,131 for the second quarter, compared with the Q2 2025 margin of $2,204.

Attributable all-in sustaining cost1: Attributable all-in sustaining cost per Au eq. oz. sold was $1,821 in Q2 2026, compared with $1,493 in Q2 2025.

Attributable all-in sustaining cost per Au oz. sold on a by-product basis was $1,751 in the second quarter, compared with $1,469 in Q2 2025.

Operating cash flow3: Operating cash flow increased to $1,145.9 million for Q2 2026, compared with $992.4 million for Q2 2025.

Operating results

Mine-by-mine summaries for 2026 second-quarter operating results may be found on pages 10 and 14 of this news release. Highlights include the following:

At Tasiast, production increased quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year primarily driven by higher throughput and timing of ounces processed through the mill. Cost of sales per ounce sold were in-line with the prior quarter, and increased year-over-year primarily due to higher royalties, fuel and labour costs.

At Paracatu, production was in-line quarter-over-quarter and increased year-over-year as a result of higher mill grades and recoveries, partially offset by a decrease in tonnes processed. Cost of sales per ounce sold were in-line with the prior quarter, and increased compared with Q2 2025 due to the strengthening of the Brazilian real and higher royalty costs, as well as planned increased drilling and blasting.

At La Coipa, production increased quarter-over-quarter as a result of higher planned grades and higher throughput. Compared with Q2 2025, production increased primarily due to higher tonnes processed and gold grades, partially offset by expected gold recoveries. Quarter-over-quarter, cost of sales per ounce sold decreased due to the increase in production, and was comparable year-over-year.

At Fort Knox, production was in-line quarter-over-quarter and cost of sales per ounce sold decreased due to the timing of ounces processed through the mill. Production was lower year-over-year primarily due to the timing of ounces processed through the mill, and cost of sales per ounce sold increased due to higher fuel, power and contractor costs as well as lower-grade, lower-recovery ore tonnes processed through the mill.

Round Mountain is currently in a phase of higher waste mining and lower-grade, lower-volume ore supply as it is stripping Phase S. Higher-grade, higher recovery ore is expected from Phase S in the second half of the year.

At Bald Mountain, production was in-line with Q1 2026, and decreased year-over-year due to grades and the timing of ounces recovered from the heap leach pads. Quarter-over-quarter, cost of sales per ounce sold decreased due to the ramp-up of capital development at Redbird in Q2 and higher ounces placed on the heap leach pads, and increased year-over-year due to the decrease in production and higher reagent and fuel costs.

Development projects

Lobo-Marte

Kinross announced an updated view of the economics for its Lobo-Marte project, based on a refresh of the 2021 feasibility study economics, reaffirming its potential to become a long-life, low-cost cornerstone asset in the Company’s portfolio. Based on the initial mine plan, Lobo-Marte is expected to produce an average of ~350,000 Au oz. per year during steady state operations, with a low estimated AISC of approximately $1,000 per ounce6.

The initial mine plan includes approximately 6.7 Moz. of proven and probable reserves with significant potential for mine life extension through the 2.8 Moz. of Measured and Indicated resource (“M&I”) and 670,000 oz. inferred resource, as well as on the wider prospective land package at Lobo-Marte.

The project has an estimated NPV8 of $4.3 billion, Internal Rate of Return13 of 26% and payback of 2.3 years at a $4,100 per ounce gold price.

The Company continues to advance permitting, engineering and execution planning with the project’s Environmental Impact Assessment currently progressing through Chile’s permitting process.

Great Bear

At Great Bear, Kinross continues to progress its AEX program alongside permitting, detailed engineering, and procurement activities for the Main Project.

Following receipt of the AEX permits in April, construction continued on the final earthworks and liner installation for the remaining ponds and the stockpile pads. Surface construction is now 93% complete, and the first blast of the exploration decline was completed on July 27, 2026. Underground development at AEX is designed to provide access for infill drilling of the resource and exploration drilling to further delineate extensions of mineralization.

For the Main Project, detailed engineering is approximately 50% complete. Procurement of major equipment continues to advance, with contracts awarded for the process plant, power, and paste plant equipment. Requests for Proposals for the camp, administration, and process buildings are ongoing. Selection of the open pit mining fleet is nearing completion.

Main Project permitting activities are progressing as planned. Federally, Great Bear entered the Information Request phase of the Impact Assessment process following submission of the third and final phase of its Impact Statement to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (“IAAC”) in March 2026. Kinross is working with IAAC to respond to the third-party comments collected by IAAC during the Information Request phase.

Provincially, the Ministry of Energy and Mines deemed the final One Project, One Process (“1P1P”) Project Definition complete in early May, and subsequently issued the Integrated Authorization and Permitting Plan for the Main Project. Kinross has submitted and is awaiting finalization of the Integrated Plan for Indigenous Consultation and advancing submitted permit applications in accordance with the Integrated Authorization and Permitting Plan.

We are pleased to report that Great Bear has recently signed a confidential Community Benefits Agreement with the Northwestern Ontario Métis Community, which is part of the Métis Nation of Ontario. Among other matters, the agreement outlines the key economic terms and includes financial accommodation, among other benefits, to the community. As previously disclosed, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Lac Seul and Wabauskang First Nations to facilitate the Impact and Benefits Agreement that the parties continue to advance.

Drilling at the Strider Zone continued in Q2, stepping out over 2.7 kilometres from the Viggo Pit and extending the footprint of LP-style, high-grade mineralization on strike. Currently, the Strider Zone has been delineated to a vertical depth of 150 metres, with the next phase of drilling focused on testing the extents both along strike and at depth.

Key intercepts from Q2 include:

  • REG-26-186: 1.5m @ 15.98 g/t Au
  • REG-26-193: 1.1m @ 27.6 g/t Au
  • REG-26-191: 1.0m @ 6.03 g/t Au

Round Mountain Phase X

Underground development at Phase X is advancing slightly ahead of schedule, with over 8,400 metres developed to date. Engineering work is progressing well and site planning for surface and underground infrastructure is well advanced. Procurement of long lead items including mining equipment is on schedule.

Curlew

At Curlew, construction of the tailings dewatering plant building is complete and installation of mechanical equipment is underway. The mill refurbishment contractor has onboarded and activities are ramping up. The underground mine development continues to advance ahead of schedule, including the construction of collars to support raise boring activities commencing in Q3.

Bald Mountain Redbird

At Redbird, mining is ongoing and development activities continued to progress ahead of plan during the quarter. Key milestones included the completion of heap leach pad earthworks, and the delivery and commissioning of mining equipment. Basic engineering of the SART plant is approximately 50% complete and the detailed engineering contractor has been selected.

Sustainability

In June, Kinross published its 2025 Sustainability Report, highlighting the Company’s continued focus on responsible mining, environmental stewardship, strong governance and creating long-term value for stakeholders. The report details Kinross’ progress across key Sustainability priorities, including advancing climate and water management initiatives, supporting local employment and procurement, and investing in community partnerships across its operating regions.

In the Sustainability Report, the Company highlighted several biodiversity and nature-related initiatives. In Brazil, Kinross continued its efforts to protect the Cerrado biome and advance spring protection programs near Paracatu, supporting ecosystem conservation and responsible water stewardship. In Mauritania, the Company continued to advance the Tasiast Green Project as part of its ongoing commitment to environmental performance and climate-related initiatives. Across its portfolio, Kinross remains focused on maintaining its strong Sustainability performance, including its focus on biodiversity conservation, responsible resource management and minimizing environmental impacts.

During the second quarter of 2026, Tasiast provided humanitarian support to communities in the Inchiri region of Mauritania. Kinross also funded a fulltime dentist position in Tonopah, Nevada, to improve access to healthcare services in the community. In governance, the Company published its refreshed Procurement Policy and continued implementation of its Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence Policy.

Americas

(a) Due to the nature of heap leach operations, recovery rates at Bald Mountain cannot be accurately measured on a quarterly basis. 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: Q2 2026: 61.61:1; Q1 2026: 57.79:1; Q4 2025: 76.34:1; Q3 2025: 87.73:1; Q2 2025: 97.41:1.

(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 “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 page [•] of this news release.

(f) La Coipa silver grade and recovery were as follows: Q2 2026: 44.14 g/t, 33%; Q1 2026: 35.03 g/t, 46%; Q4 2025: 33.21 g/t, 41%; Q3 2025: 41.34 g/t, 49%; Q2 2025: 28.89 g/t, 50%.

(g) The Fort Knox segment is composed of Fort Knox and Manh Choh. Manh Choh tonnes of ore processed and grade were as follows: Q2 2026: 229,965 tonnes, 4.98 g/t; Q1 2026: 170,077 tonnes, 4.51 g/t; Q4 2025: 158,016 tonnes, 4.08 g/t; Q3 2025: 286,496 tonnes, 7.05 g/t; Q2 2025: 231,451 tonnes, 7.39 g/t. 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:

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.

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 is excluded given that numerous factors can result in it being volatile. 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 consolidated statements of operations, as follows:
