News Release­­­

Kinross and Brett Resources complete definitive agreement

on Hammond Reef Project

Toronto, Ontario, June 4, 2008 - -- Kinross Gold Corporation (“Kinross”) announced today that it has entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Brett Resources Inc. (“Brett”) whereby Brett has agreed to purchase Kinross’ 40% interest in the Hammond Reef Project located near Atikokan, Ontario.  Kinross and Brett were parties to an option agreement pursuant to which Brett earned a 60% interest in the project by incurring $5 million in expenditures and issuing 1 million common shares to Kinross.

The consideration that Kinross will receive in exchange for the 40% interest in the Hammond Reef Project consists of 14 million Brett shares and a 2% net smelter returns royalty on future production from the property.  In connection with the transaction, Brett and Kinross will enter into a strategic alliance whereby Brett will spend up to $2 million over a three-year period exploring and acquiring properties of interest in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory, in which Kinross may elect to obtain a 50% interest.

Upon completion of the transaction, Kinross will hold 17,095,313 common shares, representing approximately 31% of Brett’s issued and outstanding common shares.  The parties expect the transaction to close in June 2008.

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, possible events, statements with respect to possible events, the future price of gold and silver, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources and the realization of such estimates, the timing, amount and costs of estimated future production, expected capital expenditures, development and mining activities, permitting time lines, currency fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims. The words “plans,” “expects,” or “does not expect,” “is expected,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “anticipates,” or “does not anticipate,” or “believes,” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “might,” or “will be taken,” “occur” or “be achieved” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Kinross as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can 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.
