                                  Press Release

Toronto,  Canada  -  September  13,  2002 -  Kinross  Gold  Corporation  (TSX-K;
Amex-KGC) announces that its 54.7% owned Russian subsidiary,  Omolon Gold Mining
Company,  is at an advanced  stage of negotiating a settlement of an outstanding
dispute  between  itself,  several of its Russian  shareholders  and the Magadan
Administration. Draft language of an agreement was being settled when earlier in
the week one of the Russian  shareholders,  obtained an order to freeze Omolon's
bank accounts and gold inventory pending final resolution of its lawsuit.

Robert M. Buchan,  President and CEO stated "This heavy handed tactic is, in our
experience,  not  unusual in the  context of  dispute  resolution  in Russia and
Omolon  anticipates  finalizing  the  settlement  agreement  by early next week.
Ordinarily  we do not  comment on the status of  confidential  negotiations  and
would prefer to wait until  agreements are  concluded.  To date the freeze order
has not impacted Omolon's ability to operate."

Underlying  the dispute are unpaid loans made by the Magadan  Administration  to
Omolon's Russian shareholders at the time Omolon was capitalized. In the face of
the inability of these  shareholders to repay the loans there has been an effort
to shift the  burden of  repayment  to  Omolon.  As  previously  disclosed,  two
shareholders have launched lawsuits against Omolon alleging that the shares they
received were flawed as a result of  registration  deficiencies  which therefore
entitles such shareholders to their money back with interest compounded thereon.
These lawsuits have been encouraged by the Magadan  Administration  as the major
creditor of these shareholders. Omolon continues to defend these lawsuits and is
advised by counsel that these claims are without merit.

Omolon has over the past 18 months  attempted to achieve an amicable  settlement
by negotiating  with both the  Administration  and with  representatives  of the
shareholders.  The  settlement  would see  Omolon  purchasing  the shares of the
Russian shareholders for an amount which would enable the shareholders to retire
the  outstanding  debt to the  Administration.  This  week  the  settlement  was
advanced  by the  parties  agreeing  on a method to resolve  the spread  between
Omolon's previous offer and what the other side was asking (the differential has
been approximately U.S. $7 million).

Once  the  anticipated  settlement  is  implemented  Omolon  will  purchase  for
cancellation  all of the  shares  held by its  Russian  shareholders  except for
approximately 2% owned by the Magadan State Property Committee. This will result
in Kinross'  interest in Omolon increasing to approximately 98% from its current
level.

This press release  includes  certain  "Forward-Looking  Statements"  within the
meaning of section 21E of the United States Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.  All  statements,  other than statements of historical  fact,  included
