CEO Commentary
Tye Burt, President and CEO, made the following comments in relation to fourth quarter and year-end 2011 results:
"Our ten operating mines are generating strong cash flow. Tasiast remains our first development priority in a measured and prudent plan for capital allocation and growth designed for long-term value and financial strength.
"In 2011, we set new records for production, revenue, and margins, and generated $1.6 billion in adjusted operating cash flow. At year-end, our liquidity position was approximately $2.9 billion, including cash and undrawn bank lines. As a result of this strong performance, and our expectation of continued robust cash flow from operations, we are increasing our semi-annual dividend by 33%. Our recorded net loss was the result of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.9 billion.
"We are making good progress on our capital and project optimization process. Recognizing today's challenging cost environment, we are taking a conservative approach to project development and capital allocation, and are prioritizing our projects based on investment returns and long-term value creation, not just top-line production growth. Tasiast's expanding current production and long-term potential confirms its status as our first growth priority, as we continue to advance Lobo-Marte and FDN while extending the timelines for both projects."
Financial results
Summary of financial and operating results
Kinross produced 643,288 attributable gold equivalent ounces in the fourth quarter of 2011, a 5% decrease over the fourth quarter of 2010, mainly due to the expected reduction in grades at several mines. Full-year production was 2,610,373 gold equivalent ounces, in line with previously stated guidance and a 12% increase over full-year 2010 mainly due to a full-year of production from the Tasiast and Chirano mines, and additional production from Kupol, as the Company increased its ownership to 100% in the second quarter of 2011.
Production cost of sales per gold equivalent ounce(2) was $636 compared with $549 for the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of 16%, mainly due to increases in labour costs, diesel and power costs, and royalties. Production cost of sales per gold equivalent ounce for full-year 2011 was $596, in line with previously stated guidance, compared with $506 for full-year 2010. Production cost of sales per gold ounce on a by-product basis was $593 in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $491 in Q4 2010, and based on Q4 2011 attributable gold sales of 550,943 ounces and attributable silver sales of 2,643,385 ounces. Production cost of sales per gold ounce on a by-product basis was $542 for the full year, compared with $460 for full-year 2010.
Revenue from metal sales was $949.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, versus $920.4 million during the same period in 2010, an increase of 3%, due to a higher average realized gold price. The average realized gold price was $1,601 per ounce in Q4 2011, compared with $1,333 per ounce for Q4 2010, an increase of 20%. 2011 full-year revenue was a record $3,943.3 million, compared with $3,010.1 million for full-year 2010, an increase of 31%. The average realized gold price per ounce was $1,502 for full-year 2011, versus $1,191 per ounce for full-year 2010, an increase of 26%.
Kinross' margin per gold equivalent ounce sold(3) was $965 for the fourth quarter, an increase of 23% compared with the Q4 2010, due mainly to a higher realized gold price. Full-year margin per gold equivalent ounce sold was $906 compared with $685 for full-year 2010, a 32% increase.
Adjusted operating cash flow(4) was $367.3 million for the quarter, or $0.32 per share, compared with $357.0 million, or $0.32 per share, for Q4 2010. Adjusted operating cash flow for full-year 2011 was $1,598.7 million or $1.41 per share, compared with $1,109.6 million, or $1.35 per share for full-year 2010. Cash and cash equivalents were $1,766.0 million as at December 31, 2011, compared with $1,466.6 million as at December 31, 2010.
Adjusted net earnings(4), (5) were $196.6 million, or $0.17 per share, for Q4 2011, compared with $158.5 million, or $0.14 per share, for Q4 2010. Adjusted net earnings were $871.8 million, or $0.77 per share, for full-year 2011, compared with $486.4 million, or $0.59 per share, for full-year 2010.
Reported net loss(5) was $2,783.7 million, or $2.45 per share, for Q4 2011, compared with a loss of $72.9 million, or $0.06 per share, for Q4 2010. Reported net loss was $2,073.6 million, or $1.83 per share, for full-year 2011, compared with reported net earnings of $759.7 million, or $0.92 per share, for full-year 2010.
Reported net earnings included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2,937.6 million, as outlined on page 12 of this news release. The impairment charge was a result of changes in market conditions, including industry-wide increases in capital and operating costs, a decline in industry-wide valuations as at year-end, and the Company's growing understanding of the Tasiast project parameters, including its analysis of a draft mine plan. The Tasiast project represents $2,490.1 million, and Chirano $447.5 million, of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded.
Capital expenditures were $585.0 million for Q4 2011, compared with $263.0 million for the same period last year, an increase due mainly to project-related expenditures at Paracatu, Tasiast and Chirano. Capital expenditures for the full-year 2011 were $1,651.5 million, compared with $628.3 million in 2010, an increase due mainly to project-related expenditures at Paracatu, Tasiast, Dvoinoye, and Chirano.

Project update and new developments
The forward-looking information contained in this section of the release is subject to the risks and assumptions contained in the Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information on page 14 of this news release.
Capital and project optimization process
On January 16, 2012, Kinross announced that it had begun a comprehensive capital and project optimization process with the aim of improving capital efficiency and investment returns while re-sequencing its three major growth projects at Tasiast, Lobo-Marte, and Fruta del Norte (FDN). The following is an update on this process:
Capital allocation framework: Given the significant capital requirements to develop the Company's growth pipeline, and in light of industry-wide cost escalation in materials, labour, energy, engineering, and equipment, the Company is establishing more stringent parameters for capital allocation and project development.
The framework for total annual capital spending will be based on a conservative estimate of existing liquidity, cash flow availability, and gold price. The Company intends to focus on Tasiast as its top development priority, and extend the development timelines for FDN and Lobo-Marte. This is expected to result in lower capital expenditures than previously anticipated over the next several years.
Applying this framework to capital allocation in 2012, using current forecasts for production, cash flow, and gold price, the Company expects the following breakdown for capital expenditures and shareholder returns: approximately $1.2 billion for sustaining and development capital at existing operations, including several expansion projects; approximately $180 million for direct shareholder returns, in the form of dividend payments; and approximately $1.0 billion for growth projects, compared with the previous guidance of $1.3 billion. Approximately $765 million of capital spending on growth projects in 2012 will be allocated to Tasiast.
Annual capital allocations for growth projects in future years may increase or decrease depending on gold price, projected cash flow, sustaining capital requirements, and projected dividend payments. Based on current forecasts and assumptions, the expected annual allocation for growth capital would be $1.0-1.5 billion for the next two to three years. In determining capital allocations, key objectives will continue to be maintaining liquidity and debt leverage at a level commensurate with an investment grade rating, and providing an appropriate return of capital to shareholders relative to the Company's growth profile.
Project sequencing and scheduling: Based on the parameters outlined above, the Company is continuing to analyze various development scenarios.
As noted above, the Tasiast expansion remains the Company's immediate strategic priority for growth and capital allocation. Kinross continues to assess the economics of a "mill-only" processing option for the Tasiast expansion as its base case, using updated mineral resource information from the 2011 infill drilling campaign. The Company is also studying alternative processing scenarios, including heap leaching, which requires additional column testing and analysis. Kinross expects to make a preliminary selection of a processing option at the end of the second quarter of 2012, and is targeting commencement of construction in mid-2013. Construction of a 60,000 tonne-per-day mill would be expected to take 25 to 28 months. Construction of a heap leach facility would be expected to take 18 to 20 months. In either case, the Company is targeting ramp-up of a new production facility at Tasiast in 2015. The construction timetable and start date is expected to be confirmed following completion of the expansion project feasibility study, expected in the first half of 2013.
Dvoinoye is the Company's next priority for development. The Dvoinoye project remains on schedule and on budget, with ore processing expected to commence in the second half of 2013.
Given the prioritization of Tasiast and Dvoinoye for capital allocation, Kinross is extending the project timelines for Lobo-Marte and FDN. At Lobo-Marte, the Company will use this additional time to complete permitting, further drilling at the Valy deposit, and study opportunities for project optimization. Approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment is targeted for the end of 2012, and completion of the project feasibility study is targeted for 2013.
At FDN, the Company is continuing its feasibility study work and has recommenced negotiations with the government of Ecuador on an enhanced economic package for developing the project. The Company expects to proceed with the project only when it is satisfied with the terms of the final exploitation and investment protection agreements and has made a positive decision to construct the mine following the completion of its feasibility study work. Kinross has advised the government that the Company will be exploring other options to lower future capital commitments to the project, including project financing, potential strategic partnerships, and lower-cost processing alternatives. The timing of the FDN feasibility study will depend on the successful conclusion of these negotiations.
Further development and timing decisions for Lobo-Marte and FDN will depend on a range of factors, including progress on development at Tasiast, projected capital and operating costs based on project feasibility studies, and market variables such as gold price.
Project organization and construction management: Building on the regionalization effort that has been implemented over the past year, the Projects and Operations teams have been consolidated under the leadership of Brant Hinze, Chief Operating Officer. The new structure unites Projects and Operations into a single team, and leverages the increased project management capacity which the Company has built at a regional level in order to improve efficiency and alignment in project management, and reduce the cost of outsourced engineering services. As part of this re-organization, Ken Thomas is transitioning from his position as Senior Vice-President, Projects, into a senior advisory role.
The project updates below contain details on additional activities underway on specific projects as part of the capital and project optimization process.
Growth projects at sites(6), (9)
Tasiast expansion project
Results from 2011 drilling continue to confirm Kinross' confidence in Tasiast as a world-class gold deposit. M&I mineral resources at Tasiast increased compared with the update provided on August 10, 2011, as 2.1 million ounces were converted from inferred mineral resources. Overall M&I mineral resources at Tasiast increased by 9.0 million ounces compared with year-end 2010. As at year end 2011, proven and probable mineral reserves at Tasiast were 7.5 million gold ounces, measured and indicated mineral resources were 11.1 million gold ounces, and inferred mineral resources were 1.9 million gold ounces.
The initial phase of the expansion project at Tasiast is now complete, following construction of the West Branch dump leach and ADR (Adsorption, Desorption and Refining) facilities. Regarding the next phase of expansion, the Company continues to explore processing options at Tasiast with the objective of improving project economics and reducing overall project execution risk. In parallel with the project optimization process, work continues on basic infrastructure and pre-production development at Tasiast, which will be required regardless of the final mining and processing configuration at an expanded operation.
Exploration in 2012 will continue to apply Kinross' increasing knowledge of the geology of the Tasiast mineral resource to target new discoveries near the mine and in the district. To this end, Kinross commenced 2012 with 15 drill rigs, 12 of which are deployed for exploration along the mine corridor and to test high-quality geological, geochemical, and geophysical targets throughout the 80 kilometre greenstone belt. Three core rigs remain at West Branch to continue a metallurgical drilling program.
Review of 2011 drilling campaign: Drilling continued with nine core and eight reverse circulation ("RC") rigs in operation (264 holes for 105,315 metres) throughout the quarter. An aggregate total of 3,074 holes for 442,779 metres were drilled on the Tasiast properties in 2011. Mineral resource definition drilling was completed in Q4 2011.
Deep drilling continued between West Branch (Greenschist Zone) and Piment Sud Sud with five holes completed for 11,405 metres. No assays are currently available for the new drilling as the Superlab, commissioned in Q4 2011, was occupied to full capacity with samples from drill holes included in the year-end mineral resource update. It is expected to take approximately three to four months to receive results for the 100,000 exploration samples that remain in the analytical pipeline.
Fourth quarter drilling advanced at the C67 (11,813 metres), C69 (10,609 metres), and C6.12 (9,683 metres) targets. Near-surface sulfide mineralization has been identified over 1,200 strike metres at C67. Further drilling is being designed to test continuity of mineralized zones along strike and to target possible extensions at depth. Full results of drilling from the three target areas were not available at the time of this news release.
Overview of Tasiast ore body: Kinross' technical understanding of the Tasiast gold deposit has increased substantially as a result of the previous 15 months of drilling.
The deposit consists of a number of ore bodies hosted along eight strike kilometres of the Tasiast Shear Zone (Figure 1: ). Two main styles of mineralization are evident, each distinguished by the rocks hosting the gold mineralization. The low grade, Piment ore bodies (Sud-Sud, Sud-North, Central, North and Prolongation) are hosted by iron formation rocks weathered to variable depths that have created an undulating oxidation surface. The oxide mineral resource occurs above this surface and transitions to individual shoots of low grade sulfide ore below. A number of these shoots are open at depth.
The second style of gold mineralization, known as the Greenschist Zone, constitutes the bulk of mineral resources at Tasiast. This style of mineralization is characterized by sheeted gold-bearing quartz veins hosted by mafic rocks in the core of the Tasiast antiform. The core of the Greenschist Zone contains the highest density of quartz veins where the rocks are most brittle. The more ductile rocks on the edge of the Greenschist Zone contain fewer veins. A close correlation between vein density and gold grades has been established by drilling and explains the presence of a high grade core surrounded by an envelope of lower grade gold mineralization.
Update on Tasiast project optimization: Analysis of data from infill drilling completed as of year-end 2011 at Tasiast indicates that lower-grade material may potentially be developed more economically with less capital by using heap leaching in combination with carbon-in-leach (CIL) milling. The Company continues to analyze the existing Tasiast mineral resource estimate (inclusive of mineral reserves) according to a potential split between CIL, dump leach and heap leach processing options, as illustrated by the estimates(7) below:
In determining reasonable prospects of economic extraction, the following criteria were used:
A mineral resource reported cut-off grade of 0.1 g/t for the oxide dump leach is based on estimated dump leach process operating costs of $2.50/t, a general and administrative (G&A) plus sustaining cost estimate of $0.90/t and expected dump leach gold recoveries of 70% to 75%, depending on lithology, in accordance with current mine operating budgets. A mineral resource reported cut-off grade of 0.25 g/t for a fine crush sulphide heap leach is based on current estimates for process operating costs of $4.70/t, a G&A plus sustaining cost estimate of $1.40/t and expected greenschist heap leach gold recovery of 62%. A mineral resource reported cut-over grade of 0.6 g/t for a new CIL plant is based on current estimates for process operating costs of $12.50/t, a G&A plus sustaining cost estimate of $4.60/t and expected CIL gold recovery of 90% to 93%, depending on head grade. A higher cut-over grade would result in more tonnage reporting to the heap leach and less tonnage, but a higher grade, reporting to the CIL plant.
In 2011, SGS Lakefield and other testing organizations completed a confirmatory phase of metallurgical test work for grinding and CIL milling of the West Branch deposit. A total of 54 drill holes representing the main ore types up to 700 metres deep were sampled to provide 85 test composites. The test work confirmed low variability in the deposit, and a conventional CIL process using sea water is estimated to recover 90% to 93% of the gold for a typical range of feed grades. Process design criteria and equipment sizing have been established by standard metallurgical test work for grindability and abrasion, grind size, gold recovery, leaching kinetics and carbon loading, reagent consumption, slurry rheology and thickener sizing.
Heap leach metallurgical test work on Tasiast sulphide ores commenced in 2009 and a second phase of test work in 2010 confirmed that fine crushing with high pressure grinding rolls (HPGRs) were beneficial for heap leaching. A third phase of heap leach test work was completed in 2011 on West Branch drill core samples totalling 6.8 tonnes and representing the main ore types up to 150 metres deep. The samples were crushed via HPGR and tested in 57 heap leach columns. Average gold recovery for all of the samples was 63%. A fourth phase of column test work, which will use up to 15 tonnes of new samples, is continuing to test deeper material and low grade areas of the deposit, with emphasis on finalizing the optimum crush size, reagent consumption and recovery from each zone.
Update on site infrastructure and mine enhancements: Expansion of the existing camp continues to support an increasing operations and construction workforce, with a build-out to 3,000 beds scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2012. Construction of Phase 1 and 2 of the permanent camp has been initiated, including accommodation for 3,500 which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2012. Work has been initiated on expanding site utilities to accommodate the large construction effort. Development of an interim water pipeline and wellfield is now underway, with contractors mobilized for both pipeline construction and well drilling. Additions to the site-based power supply totaling 20 megawatts have been purchased, with installation at site expected in the fourth quarter of 2012. Infrastructure to support an expanding mining operation, including a truck shop, training centre, additional fuel storage and warehousing are all planned to proceed in 2012. All required permits are in place to support these ongoing activities.
Commissioning of the initial phase of the Tasiast mine expansion - the expansion of the dump leaching facilities and construction of the ADR plant - is now complete. The new facilities are expected to have a positive impact on 2012 production, with a total of 17 million tonnes of ore expected to be placed on the dump leach pads, compared with the 8.8 million tonnes mined and placed on pads in 2011. Gold production from dump leach operations is expected to increase by 280%, from 48,000 ounces in 2011 to approximately 134,000 ounces in 2012. The ADR plant will also serve the expanded processing operation.
Update on procurement: Procurement of equipment for the expanding mining operation is continuing. Tasiast has taken delivery of 12 Caterpillar 793 haul trucks, three Caterpillar 6060 hydraulic shovels and four SKF-12 Reedrill blasthole drills to support the expanding pre-production development activities at West Branch. Tasiast is scheduled to take delivery of additional fleet components in 2012, including 12 Caterpillar 793 trucks, two Caterpillar 6060 hydraulic shovels, and a second grouping of four SKF-12 Reedrill blasthole drills. Support equipment for the truck and shovel fleet are also scheduled for delivery in 2012. The increase in equipment will be supported by hiring and training efforts to support an increase in annual mine production from the 50 Mt mined in 2011 to a forecast of 96 Mt in 2012.
In 2012, capital expenditures for equipment procurement, site development, pre-production mining and continued engineering are forecast to be approximately $765 million, focused on infrastructure which is expected to support any of the processing options currently being assessed.
Dvoinoye
Key project development activities at Dvoinoye continue to proceed on schedule. The processing of Dvoinoye ore remains on target to commence in the second half of 2013.
Approximately 1,320 metres of underground development have been completed as of the end of the fourth quarter 2011, versus 1,200 metres planned for the year. The second entry point to the mine, the West Portal, has been collared and additional mining equipment is being transported to site to meet the accelerated rate of development for 2012.
The truck shop and water storage buildings have been delivered to site. The permanent camp, key equipment and supplies for the 2012 construction program are currently being assembled in the port of Pevek for delivery to site during the 2012 winter road campaign. Earthworks and roads for site facilities, including the permanent camp, are largely complete. Concrete foundation work for the truck shop and water storage building are complete. Concrete foundations are in progress for the permanent camp and the diesel fuel tank farm. The administration and warehouse building has been procured and fuel and water storage tanks have been fabricated. The temporary man camp is being expanded in order to satisfy accommodation requirements during the construction period. Construction of the all-season road between Dvoinoye and Kupol has commenced and is progressing well.
Paracatu ball mills
Engineering on the fourth Paracatu ball mill was 99% complete and procurement was at 98% as of the end of the fourth quarter 2011. Construction progress was 41%, with both concrete and structural steel approximately 90% and 75% complete, respectively. Pre-assembly of the mill was complete, and ball mill installation commenced in January. The project is expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2012.
The new flash flotation gold recovery process for the first two ball mills and the desulphurization process at Paracatu have been commissioned, and both plants are now ramping up.
Maricunga SART plant
Construction of the Maricunga SART (Sulphidization, Acidification, Recycling and Thickening) plant was re-started in late November. The SART project is targeted for completion in the first half of 2012.
New developments
Fruta del Norte
Negotiations with the Ecuadorean government on an enhanced economic package at FDN continue, as described above. Permitting and development work at site will continue in 2012, including construction of the site access road, upgrading of the existing camp, advancing work on the exploration decline, and exploration drilling.
Lobo-Marte
As outlined above, as part of the capital optimization process, the timeline for the Lobo-Marte feasibility study is being extended, and is now targeted for completion in 2013. During this time, the Company will work on project optimization, including a reevaluation of various project configurations, flowsheets, execution strategies and development scenarios. This will include a review of opportunities to optimize development of the project as part of the Company's suite of assets in the Maricunga district, including opportunities for logistical efficiencies and consolidation of resources between operations. Permitting activities for Lobo-Marte continue, and approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment is targeted for the end of 2012. The Company is also viewing development of the Pompeya deposit at La Coipa as an important objective in the context of its Chilean development opportunities.
2011 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Update
Please refer to the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource tables and corresponding notes located at the end of this news release.
Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves
Kinross' total estimated proven and probable mineral reserves at year-end 2011 were 62.6 million ounces of gold, a net increase of 0.2 million ounces compared with year-end 2010, net of 2011 production. Notable changes by site included additions of 1.1 million ounces at Dvoinoye; 0.7 million ounces at Fort Knox, due to the addition of heap leach production; and 0.5 million ounces at Kupol, due to the 25% increase in Kinross ownership. At Tasiast, there was no material change in mineral reserves, as a feasibility study for the expansion project has not yet been completed.
Proven and probable silver reserves at year-end 2011 were estimated at 84.9 million ounces, a net decrease of 6.1 million ounces compared with year-end 2010, as a result of depletion of 12.9 million ounces at La Coipa, partially offset by an addition of 5.6 million ounces at Kupol due to the 25% increase in Kinross ownership.
Proven and probable copper reserves at year-end 2011 were estimated at 1.4 billion pounds, unchanged from year-end 2010.
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources
Kinross' total estimated measured and indicated mineral resources at year-end 2011 were 25.4 million ounces of gold, an increase of 7.7 million ounces compared with year-end 2010. The increase was primarily at Tasiast as a result of the conversion of 6.8 million ounces from inferred mineral resources to M&I mineral resources, and the addition of 2.2 million ounces directly to M&I mineral resources. These additions were offset somewhat by the upgrading of 1.1 million ounces at Dvoinoye from M&I mineral resources to proven and probable mineral reserves, and the upgrading of 0.7 million ounces at Fort Knox from M&I mineral resources to proven and probable mineral reserves. At Lobo-Marte, there was no change in mineral reserves and mineral resources, as a feasibility study for the project has not yet been completed.
Estimated measured and indicated silver resources decreased by 2.0 million ounces, to 23.6 million ounces versus 25.6 million ounces at year-end 2010.
Inferred Mineral Resources
Kinross' total estimated inferred gold resources at year-end 2011 were 20.1 million ounces, a reduction of 3.9 million ounces compared with year-end 2010. The net decrease in inferred mineral resources is primarily due to the conversion of 6.8 million gold ounces at the Tasiast project to M&I mineral resources, offset by the addition at Maricunga of 2.7 million ounces to inferred mineral resources.
Assumptions for Mineral Reserves and Resources
2011 year-end mineral reserves were estimated using a $1,200 per ounce gold price, a $30.00 per ounce silver price, and a $3.00 per pound copper price. 2010 year-end mineral reserves were estimated using a $900 per ounce gold price, a $14.00 per ounce silver price, and a $2.00 per pound copper price. 2011 year-end mineral resources were estimated using a $1,400 per ounce gold price, a $33.00 per ounce silver price, and a $3.75 per pound copper price. 2010 year-end mineral resources were estimated using a $1,000 per ounce gold price, a $15.00 per ounce silver price, and a $2.50 per pound copper price.
Exploration update(9)
Total exploration expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $67.3 million, including $37.5 million for expensed exploration and $29.8 million for capitalized exploration. Exploration expenditures for full-year 2011 totaled $217.0 million. Total exploration expenditures for 2011 included $104.7 million in expensed costs and $112.3 million in capitalized costs.
Kinross was active on more than 30 mine site, near-mine and greenfields initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2011, with drilling across all projects totalling 169,499 metres, for a full-year total of 792,030 metres. Highlights of the fourth quarter exploration program include:
In 2012, the Company's exploration efforts will focus on delivering mineral resource growth at Kinross' development projects (Tasiast, Lobo-Marte, Fruta del Norte and Dvoinoye) and expanding mineral reserves with particular emphasis at La Coipa, Kupol and Kettle River. Kinross will continue its strategy of upgrading its the exploration portfolio, focusing on discovery of high value resource opportunities throughout the Americas, Russia and West Africa.
Total 2012 budgeted exploration expenditure is approximately $220 million, of which approximately $35 million is expected to be capitalized and approximately $185 million is expected to be expensed. Approximately $80 million is expected to be allocated to Tasiast, with work focusing on seeking out new ore shoots along the eight kilometre mine corridor, and on satellite ore bodies in the Tasiast district.
Dividend
Based on the Company's solid operating performance and strong cash flow in 2011, the Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.08 per common share, a 33% increase from the previous dividend paid on September 30, 2011.The dividend is payable on March 31, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 23, 2012. This dividend qualifies as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes.
Goodwill impairment
As required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the Company has completed its annual assessment of the carrying value of goodwill for all properties. The Company's goodwill impairment testing methodology is described in Note 3(ix) of the December 31, 2011 financial statements. As a result of this review, as disclosed in Note 8 to the December 31, 2011 financial statements and in the 2011 MD&A, an aggregate non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2,937.6 million was recorded for the Tasiast and Chirano assets acquired in the Red Back acquisition. The impairment charge was a result of changes in market conditions, including industry-wide increases in capital and operating costs, a decline in industry-wide valuations as at year-end, and the Company's growing understanding of the Tasiast project parameters, including its analysis of a draft mine plan.
The Tasiast project represents $2,490.1 million and Chirano $447.5 million of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded. A number of market factors are taken into account in determining fair value, including gold price. The Company has used a long-term gold price estimate of $1,250 per ounce as at December 31, 2011.
The Company acquired Red Back Mining Inc. in an all-share transaction in which the Company issued 416.4 million common shares, 25.8 million common share purchase warrants, and 8.7 million fully-vested replacement options. Under IFRS, the Company is required to value the acquisition based on the Company's share price on the date the transaction closes, and not the share price on the announcement date. The Company's share price increased $2.71, from $15.73 to $18.44 per share, during the period between the announcement date and the closing date, thereby substantially increasing the goodwill value that was recorded on finalization of the purchase price allocation under IFRS. However, the share exchange ratio upon which the transaction was negotiated and approved did not change as a result of the finalization of the purchase price allocation, and accordingly, the number of Kinross shares issued also did not change.
Completion of Kupol financing
On December 22, 2011, Kinross announced that the $200 million non-recourse loan to Chukotka Mining and Geological Company (CMGC) from a group of international financial institutions has been funded. The non-recourse loan carries a term of five years, with annual interest of LIBOR plus 2.5%.
Outlook
The forward-looking information contained in this section is subject to the risk factors and assumptions contained in the Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information located on page 14 of this news release.
As previously announced on January 16, 2012, Kinross expects to produce approximately 2.6-2.8 million gold equivalent ounces in 2012. Production cost of sales per gold equivalent ounce is expected to be in the range of $670-715 for 2012.

Key Sensitivities
Approximately 60%-70% of the Company's costs are denominated in US dollars.
A 10% change in foreign exchange could result in an approximate $5 impact in cost of sales per ounce.(10)
A $10 change in the price of oil could result in an approximate $2 impact on cost of sales per ounce.
The impact on royalties of a $100 change in the gold price could result in an approximate $4 impact on cost of sales per ounce.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this document. These measures are not defined under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation. The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The inclusion of these measures is meant to provide additional information and should not be used as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily standard and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.
Adjusted net earnings attributed to common shareholders and adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP measures 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, 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, 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 are not necessarily indicative of net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share measures as determined under IFRS.
The following table provides a reconciliation of consolidated net earnings to adjusted net earnings for the periods presented:
The Company makes reference to a non-GAAP measure for adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted operating cash flow per share. Adjusted operating cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations excluding certain impacts which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's regular operating cash flow and excluding changes in working capital. Working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors, including the timing of tax payments, and in the case of Kupol, a build-up of inventory due to transportation logistics. The Company uses 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, adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted operating cash flow per share measures are not necessarily indicative of net cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS.
The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted cash flow from operations for the periods presented:
Consolidated production cost of sales per gold equivalent ounce sold is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as production cost of sales as per the consolidated financial statements 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 gold equivalent ounce sold is a non-GAAP measure 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 non-gold production into gold equivalent ounces and credits it to total production.
Management uses these measures to monitor and evaluate the performance of its operating properties.
Attributable production cost of sales per ounce sold on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP measure 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 measure 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:

Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Statement Notes
(1) Unless otherwise noted, the Company's mineral reserves are estimated using appropriate cut-off grades based on an assumed gold price of $US 1,200 per ounce, a silver price of $US 30.00 per ounce and a copper price of US $3.00 per pound. Mineral reserves are estimated using appropriate process recoveries, operating costs and mine plans that are unique to each property and include estimated allowances for dilution and mining recovery. Mineral reserves are reported in contained units and are estimated based on the following foreign exchange rates:
(2) Unless otherwise noted, the Company's mineral resources are estimated using appropriate cut-off grades based on a gold price of $US 1,400 per ounce, a silver price of $US 33.00 per ounce, a copper price of US $3.75 per pound and the following foreign exchange rates:
(3) The Company's mineral reserves and mineral resources as at December 31, 2011 are classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum's "CIM Definition Standards - For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves" adopted by the CIM Council (as amended from time to time, the "CIM Standards") in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects" ("NI 43-101"). Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reflect the Company's reasonable expectation that all necessary permits and approvals will be obtained and maintained.
(4) Cautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources. These estimates have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States' securities laws. The terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM Standards (duplicated below). These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Guide 7 ("SEC Guide 7") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under SEC Guide 7, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report mineral reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any mineral reserve or cash flow analysis to designate mineral reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. In addition, the terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" are defined in NI 43-101 and recognized by Canadian securities laws but are not defined terms under SEC Guide 7 or recognized under U.S. securities laws. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be upgraded to mineral reserves. "Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred mineral resource" will ever by upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Accordingly, these mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates and related information may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, including SEC Guide 7.
(5) Kettle River mineral resources were estimated using the same gold price as mineral reserves ($US1,200/oz).
(6) Except as provided in Note (12), the Company's mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates were prepared under the supervision of Mr. R. Henderson, P. Eng., an officer of Kinross, who is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.
(7) The Company's normal data verification procedures have been used in collecting, compiling, interpreting and processing the data used to estimate mineral reserves and mineral resources. Independent data verification has not been performed.
(8) Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have to demonstrate economic viability. Mineral resources are subject to infill drilling, permitting, mine planning, mining dilution and recovery losses, among other things, to be converted into mineral reserves. Due to the uncertainty associated with inferred mineral resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to indicated or measured mineral resources, including as a result of continued exploration.
(9) The Crixas mine is operated by AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. Mineral reserves are reported based on a gold price of $US 1,100 per ounce. Mineral resources are reported using a gold price of $US 1,600 per ounce. Mineral resources and mineral reserves are reported using the following foreign exchange rate: Brazilian Real to $US1.94.
(10) Estimates for the Cerro Casale project are based on the feasibility study completed in 2009 by the joint venture and have been updated to reflect current guidance. Mineral reserves and mineral resources are estimated using appropriate cut-off grades based on the following commodity prices and foreign exchange rates:
(11) Includes mineral reserves and mineral resources from the Puren deposit in which the Company holds a 65% interest.
(12) The mineral resource estimates for the White Gold Property were prepared by Mr. Wayne Barnett, Pr.Sci.Nat., and Mr. Marek Nowak, P. Eng., of SRK Consulting, both of whom are qualified persons as defined by NI 43-101. Mineral resources are reported at a cut-off of 0.5 g/t for open pit and 2.0 g/t for underground.
(13) The mineral resources and mineral reserves for Lobo-Marte are based on the pre-feasibility study completed by the Company in 2010.
(14) The mineral reserves presented herein comply with the reserve categories of SEC Guide 7 except for mineral reserves at Lobo-Marte, which estimates are based on the pre-feasibility study completed in 2010. For mineral reserves under NI 43-101, a pre-feasibility study is sufficient, however for reserves under SEC Guide 7, a feasibility study is required.
Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Definitions
A Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured or Indicated Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. This Study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. A Mineral Reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined.
A 'Probable Mineral Reserve' is the economically mineable part of an Indicated and, in some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. This Study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified.
A 'Proven Mineral Reserve' is the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. This Study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction is justified.
A Mineral Resource is a concentration or occurrence of diamonds, natural solid inorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base and precious metals, coal, and industrial minerals in or on the Earth's crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.
An 'Inferred Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.
An 'Indicated Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics, can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.
A 'Measured Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.
