Sale of Fruta del Norte: On October 21, 2014, Kinross announced that it entered into an agreement to sell its interest in Aurelian Resources Inc. and the Fruta del Norte project in Ecuador to Fortress Minerals Corp. for $240 million in cash and shares.
 
CEO Commentary
J. Paul Rollinson, CEO, made the following comments in relation to 2014 third-quarter results:
 
“In Q3, Kinross made further significant gains in reducing costs. The Company is lowering its 2014 production cost of sales guidance and is revising down other key cost metrics as a result of successful cost reduction initiatives at several mines, continued discipline in capital spending and the addition of low cost ounces from our newest mine, Dvoinoye.
 
“The combination of declining costs and strong production in Q3 – including record production at Paracatu and Maricunga – resulted in a 22% year-over-year increase in adjusted operating cash flow, despite a lower gold price. In the first nine months of the year, the Company has added $100 million in cash to the balance sheet.
 
“With Kinross’ recently announced agreement to sell its interests in Ecuador for $240 million in cash and Fortress Minerals shares, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and focus on strategic priorities and growth opportunities.”
 
1 Unless otherwise stated, production figures in this news release are based on Kinross’ 90% share of Chirano production.
2 These figures are non-GAAP financial measures and are defined and reconciled on pages 12 to 16 of this news release.

(c)
“Gold equivalent ounces” include silver ounces produced and sold converted to a gold equivalent based on a ratio of the average spot market prices for the commodities for each period. The ratio for the third quarter of 2014 was 64.89:1, compared with 62.21:1 for the third quarter of 2013 and for the first nine months of 2014 was 64.54:1, compared with 58.69:1 for the first nine months of 2013.
  
 
The following operating and financial results are based on third-quarter 2014 gold equivalent production from continuing operations. Production and cost measures are on an attributable basis:
 
Production: Kinross produced 693,818 attributable Au eq. oz. in the third quarter of 2014, an increase over the third quarter of 2013, due mainly to increased production at Maricunga and the processing of higher grade ore from Dvoinoye, offset by the suspension of mining at La Coipa in October 2013.
 
Production cost of sales: Production cost of sales per Au eq. oz.2 was $698 for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $740 for the third quarter of 2013, a $42 decrease attributed to the timing of sales of lower-cost gold ounces from Russia and continued cost reduction efforts across the Company. Production cost of sales per Au oz. on a by-product basis2 was $685 in Q3 2014, compared with $709 in Q3 2013, based on Q3 2014 attributable gold sales of 721,140 ounces and attributable silver sales of 1,165,075 ounces.
 
All-in sustaining cost: All-in sustaining cost per Au eq. oz. sold2 decreased $163, or 15%, to $919 in Q3 2014, compared with $1,082 in Q3 2013, primarily due to reductions in sustaining capital, and exploration and business development expenditures, and an increase in gold equivalent ounces sold.
 
All-in sustaining cost per Au oz. sold on a by-product basis2 was $911 in Q3 2014, compared with $1,069 in Q3 2013.

Revenue: Revenue from metal sales was $945.7 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $876.3 million during the same period in 2013. The increase was due mainly to higher gold equivalent ounces sold from Russia due to timing of shipments and production from Dvoinoye.
 
Average realized gold price: The average realized gold price was $1,268 per ounce in Q3 2014, compared with $1,331 per ounce in Q3 2013.
 
Margins: Kinross’ attributable margin per Au eq. oz. sold4 was $570 for the third quarter of 2014, compared with the Q3 2013 margin of $591 per Au eq. oz.
 
Operating cash flow: Adjusted operating cash flow2 was $312.0 million for the third quarter of 2014, or $0.27 per share, compared with $256.4 million, or $0.22 per share, for Q3 2013.
 
Earnings: Adjusted net earnings2,3 were $70.1 million, or $0.06 per share, for Q3 2014, compared with adjusted earnings of $54.4 million, or $0.05 per share, for Q3 2013, due mainly to an increase in gold sales.
 
Reported net loss3 was $4.3 million, or $0.00 per share, for Q3 2014, compared with earnings of $46.9 million, or $0.04 per share, in Q3 2013, due mainly to higher deferred non-cash income tax expense in Chile resulting from changes to Chilean tax law, offset by higher revenue.
 
Capital expenditures: Capital expenditures decreased to $153.5 million for Q3 2014, compared with $300.8 million for the same period last year, due mainly to lower spending at Tasiast and Fort Knox.
 
Operating results
Mine-by-mine summaries for third-quarter 2014 operating results may be found on pages seven and eight of this news release. Highlights include the following:
 
Americas
 
The region is on track to reach the high end of its 2014 production guidance (1.33-1.43 million Au eq. oz.) and the low end of its production cost of sales guidance ($780-$840 per Au eq. oz.) for the year. At Paracatu, higher grades and recovery from processing a higher percentage of B2 ore resulted in record quarterly production of 136,078 Au eq. oz., outperforming the previous record output in Q3 2013. Production cost of sales declined for the third consecutive quarter to $776 per ounce as a result of lower mining costs and higher ounces sold. Maricunga’s production increased 82% year-over-year to a record 69,279 Au eq. oz., in what is normally a challenging winter period, due to improvements to the crushing plant and enhanced management of the heap leach and ADR plant. Production cost of sales per ounce, as a result, declined 36% compared with Q3 2013.
 
At Fort Knox, production was higher compared with the previous quarter due to the expected seasonal increase of heap leach processing. Production cost of sales per ounce was lower compared with Q2 2014, but higher year-over-year due to higher operating waste and lower mill grades. At Kettle River Buckhorn, production was lower compared with the previous quarter and year-over-year due to anticipated lower grades. Production increased slightly at Round Mountain year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, while production cost of sales per ounce declined compared with both periods.
 
As previously announced, mill operations at Round Mountain have been temporarily suspended as of October 1, 2014, following a fire in the mill building. Mill repairs have commenced and the mill is expected to be re-commissioned in March 2015 with costs expected to be almost entirely covered by insurance. Production continues uninterrupted from the mine’s heap leach facilities, which account for approximately 75% of production. The Company expects no material impact on the region’s 2014 production guidance from the temporary suspension of mill operations.
 
4Attributable margin per equivalent ounce sold is a non-GAAP measure defined as “average realized gold price per ounce” less “attributable production cost of sales per gold equivalent ounce sold.”

Russia
 
The Company is increasing the region’s 2014 guidance range for production to 710,000-750,000 Au eq. oz. from 690,000-730,000 Au eq. oz. and is lowering its production cost of sales guidance range to $520-$550 per Au eq. oz. from $560-$590 per Au eq. oz. as strong performance from the combined Kupol and Dvoinoye operation continued in Q3. Gold grades at the combined operation increased by 17% compared with Q3 2013 due to the processing of higher grade ore from Dvoinoye, which was partially offset by the anticipated decline in grades at Kupol. Approximately 83,500 Au eq. oz. were produced from processing Dvoinoye ore in the expanded Kupol mill during Q3, a slight increase compared with the previous quarter. Production cost of sales per ounce decreased compared with the previous quarter due mainly to increased ounces sold from Dvoinoye. Production cost of sales per ounce decreased year-over-year due mainly to higher grades.
 
West Africa
 
The region remains on target to meet its 2014 production guidance range (480,000-540,000 Au eq. oz.) while its production cost of sales guidance range is being lowered to $790-$830 per Au eq. oz. from $810-$880 per Au eq. oz. Regional production was higher compared with the previous quarter due to improved Chirano production, as mill repairs that were completed in Q2 2014 increased throughput. Production cost of sales per ounce at the mine decreased to $539 per ounce, a 29% reduction year-over-year, as a result of the successful transition to self-perform mining in both the underground and open pit operations.
 
At Tasiast, quarter-over-quarter production was down slightly due to lower mill throughput while year-over-year production improved 18% primarily due to higher mill grades. Production cost of sales per ounce decreased slightly quarter-over-quarter, and 16% compared with Q3 2013, as a result of less tonnes mined, higher grades and continuous improvement programs.
 
Outlook
The following section of the news release represents forward-looking information and users are cautioned that actual results may vary. We refer to the risks and assumptions contained in the Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information on page 17 of this news release.
 
Kinross expects to come in at the high end of its narrowed 2014 production forecast of 2.6-2.7 million Au eq. oz., from its previous range of 2.5-2.7 million Au eq. oz.
 
As a result of successful cost reduction initiatives, the Company is lowering its 2014 guidance range for production cost of sales per Au eq. oz. sold to $720-$750 from its previous range of $730-$780, and is narrowing downward its guidance range for all-in sustaining cost per Au eq. oz. sold to $950-$990 from its previous range of $950-$1,050.
 
The Company is lowering its guidance for capital expenditures from $675 million to a range of $630-$650 million and expects to come in below its 2014 guidance of $205 million for overhead (G&A and business development).
 
Kinross is on track to meet its 2014 exploration expenditures forecast of $90 million, which includes $5 million in capitalized exploration.
 
Tasiast expansion project update
 
Kinross continues to pursue a number of opportunities to further enhance the viability of a potential expansion at Tasiast. The project execution plan is being further defined and de-risked; bidders’ lists are being expanded and commercial terms are being solicited for key contracts, including for pre-assembly and pre-cast packages as well as for key equipment packages. The optimization of the project’s construction scope was largely completed in the third quarter, with no material changes compared to the feasibility study. As part of the Company’s annual process, the mine plan is also being updated to reflect current operating experience.

Progress continues on securing project financing, with a site visit and a series of meetings held in October between the Company and potential multilateral lenders. The Company will make a decision on whether to proceed with the mill expansion in 2015.
 
La Coipa Phase 7 update
 
Kinross has initiated a pre-feasibility study (PFS) to explore potential re-start options at La Coipa, which is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2015. Kinross is also conducting a scoping study that focuses on processing options for known near-surface sulfide mineralization in the district. Exploration continues at La Coipa, with the assessment of some attractive opportunities to extend the mine life beyond what the PFS will contemplate.
 
Fruta del Norte sale
 
On October 21, 2014, Kinross announced that it entered into an agreement with Fortress Minerals Corp., a member of the Lundin Group of Companies, to sell all of its interest in Aurelian Resources Inc. and the Fruta del Norte (FDN) project in Ecuador for $240 million in cash and shares.
 
Kinross will receive $100 million to $190 million in cash, depending on the net proceeds from Fortress’ announced equity financing, of which affiliates of the Lundin Family Trust have committed up to $100 million. The balance of the purchase price will be paid in Fortress shares.
 
The transaction is expected to be completed by mid-December 2014, subject to certain conditions, including Fortress shareholder and stock exchange approval, the granting by the Ecuadorian Government of an 18-month extension period from transaction closing to provide time for Fortress to carry out additional project feasibility work and development negotiations, the approval by the Ecuadorian Attorney General of bilateral agreements between Kinross, Fortress and the Ecuadorian Government, and certain of their wholly-owned subsidiaries, and other customary conditions for a transaction of this nature.
 
Liquidity
 
As of September 30, 2014, Kinross had cash and cash equivalents of $835.9 million, an increase of $101.4 million from the balance at December 31, 2013, primarily due to higher operating cash flows of $678.9 million for the first nine months of 2014.

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 attributable 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 and earnings per share measures as determined under IFRS.
 
The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings from continuing operations to adjusted net earnings from continuing operations 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.

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. The following table presents a reconciliation of consolidated and attributable production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold for the periods presented:

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.

In June 2013, the World Gold Council (“WGC”) published its guidelines for reporting all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs.  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 non-GAAP measures. Adoption of the all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost metrics is voluntary and not necessarily standard, and therefore, these measures presented by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that the all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost measures complement existing measures 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.  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 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 total production cost of sales, as reported on the consolidated statement of operations, as follows:

(1) “Portion attributable to Chirano non-controlling interest” represents the non-controlling interest (10%) in the production cost of sales for the Chirano mine.
(2) “Attributable” includes Kinross’ share of Chirano (90%) production.
(3) “Attributable silver revenues” represents the attributable portion of metal sales realized from the production of the secondary or by-product metal (i.e. silver).  Revenue from the sale of silver, which is produced as a by-product of the process used to produce gold, effectively reduces the cost of gold production.
(4) “General and administrative” expenses is as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations, net of certain severance expenses.  General and administrative expenses are considered sustaining costs as they are required to be absorbed on a continuing basis for the effective operation and governance of the Company.
(5) “Other operating expense – sustaining” is calculated as “Other operating expense” as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations, less other operating expenses related to non-sustaining activities.  Other operating expenses are classified as either sustaining or non-sustaining based on the type and location of the expenditure incurred.  The majority of other operating expenses that are incurred at existing operations are considered costs necessary to sustain operations, and are therefore classified as sustaining.  Other operating expenses incurred at locations w here there is no current operation or related to other non-sustaining activities are classified as non-sustaining.
(6) “Reclamation and remediation” is calculated as current period accretion related to reclamation and remediation obligations plus current period amortization of the corresponding reclamation and remediation assets, and is intended to reflect the periodic cost of reclamation and remediation for currently operating mines.  Reclamation and remediation costs for development projects or closed mines are excluded from this amount and classified as non-sustaining.
(7) “Exploration and business development – sustaining” is calculated as “Exploration and business development” expenses as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations, less non-sustaining exploration expenses.  Exploration expenses are classified as either sustaining or non-sustaining based on a determination of the type and location of the exploration expenditure.  Exploration expenditures within the footprint of operating mines are considered costs required to sustain current operations and so are included in sustaining costs.  Exploration expenditures focused on new ore bodies near existing mines (i.e. brownfield), new exploration projects (i.e. greenfield) or for other generative exploration activity not linked to existing mining operations are classified as non-sustaining.  Business development expenses are considered sustaining costs as they are required for general operations.
(8) “Additions to property, plant and equipment – sustaining” represents the majority of capital expenditures at existing operations including capitalized exploration costs, capitalized stripping and underground mine development costs, ongoing replacement of mine equipment and other capital facilities and other capital expenditures and is calculated as total additions to property, plant and equipment (as reported on the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows), less capitalized interest and non-sustaining capital.  Non-sustaining capital represents capital expenditures for major growth projects as w ell as enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations. Non-sustaining capital expenditures during the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 relate to projects at Tasiast, Chirano and Dvoinoye.
(9) “Portion attributable to Chirano non-controlling interest” represents the non-controlling interest (10%) in the ounces sold for the Chirano mine.

Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: sanctions (any other similar restrictions or penalties) now or subsequently imposed by, against, in respect of or otherwise impacting any jurisdiction in which the Company is domiciled or operates (including but not limited to the Russian Federation, Canada, the European Union and the United States), or any government or citizens of, persons or companies domiciled in, or the Company’s business, operations or other activities in, any such jurisdiction; our ability to successfully cease further investment in and development of FDN and, in cooperation with the Government of Ecuador, successfully complete an orderly transition with respect to FDN (including, but limited to, the closing of the announced transaction with Fortress Minerals Corp.) that is respectful of the interests of both parties and does not impose on the Company (and/or any of its directors, officers or employees) any unreasonable obligations or liabilities; litigation commenced, or other claims or actions brought, against the Company (and/or any of its directors, officers or employees) in respect of the cessation by the Company of further investment in and development of FDN, or any of the Company’s prior or continuing activities on or in respect thereof or otherwise in Ecuador; fluctuations in the currency markets; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain other commodities (such as fuel and electricity); changes in the discount rates applied to calculate the present value of net future cash flows based on country-specific real weighted average cost of capital; changes in the market valuations of peer group gold producers and the Company, and the resulting impact on market price to net asset value multiples; changes in various market variables, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, gold or silver prices and lease rates, or global fuel prices, that could impact the mark-to-market value of outstanding derivative instruments and ongoing payments/receipts under any financial obligations; risks arising from holding derivative instruments (such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark-to-market risk); changes in national and local government legislation, taxation (including but not limited to income tax, advance income tax, stamp tax, withholding tax, capital tax, tariffs, value-added or sales tax, capital outflow tax, capital gains tax, windfall or windfall profits tax, royalty, excise tax, customs/import or export taxes/duties, asset taxes, asset transfer tax, property use or other real estate tax, together with any related fine, penalty, surcharge, or interest imposed in connection with such taxes), controls, policies and regulations; the security of personnel and assets; political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Chile, Brazil, Russia, Ecuador, Mauritania, Ghana, or other countries in which Kinross, or entities in which it now or hereafter directly or indirectly holds an interest, do business or may carry on business; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, us; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and complete divestitures; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations; litigation against the Company including, but not limited to, securities class action litigation in Canada and/or the United States; the speculative nature of gold exploration and development including, but not limited to, the risks of obtaining and maintaining necessary licenses and permits at our operations and projects (including but not limited to Cerro Casale and Lobo Marte), and decisions made by controlling joint venture partners such as at Cerro Casale; diminishing quantities or grades, or reclassification, of mineral reserves; adverse changes in our credit rating; and contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of gold exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or the inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, Kinross’ actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Kinross, including but not limited to resulting in an impairment charge on goodwill and/or assets. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s expectations and plans relating to the future. All of the forward-looking statements made in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements and those made in our other filings with the securities regulators of Canada and the United States including, but not limited to, the cautionary statements made in the ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section of our most recently filed Annual Information Form and Management Discussion and Analysis. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Kinross. Kinross disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law.
