Paracatu Expansion (100%) Optimizing
Paracatu Acquisition Purchased 51% of Paracatu from Rio Tinto for $260 million, transaction closed December 31, 2004 Kinross is 100% owner and operator Paracatu mine life greater than 20 years Increases Kinross proven and probable gold reserves by 4.2 million oz. Eliminates one joint venture relationship Potential synergies with Gurupi in Northern Brazil (currently in feasibility)
Paracatu Expansion (100%) Increase milling capacity and improve efficiency resulting in: Increased gold recoveries Lower costs Increased resources due to lower cutoff grade Increase production to 250,000 oz/yr (100%) thru 2025 Average yearly production in first 5 years of +300,000 ozs (100%) Reviewing feasibility Construction 2005/06; and production early 2007 Current cost estimated $111M (100%)
