Mayor Jos Mitchell said the success of Council’s submission for project funding under the Federal Government’s Housing Support Program was a massive win for the city.
“Council has advocated for many years for federal support for the Kinross Road Estate project, and the announcement of $35.5 million is a wonderful result,” the Mayor said.
“Of the 10 Queensland projects to benefit from the $101.8 million in funding announced this week, this is the largest individual funding amount, by far.”
The project will see the construction of a 1.2 km entrance road to the estate, including road widening, three roundabouts, footpaths, stormwater drainage, street lighting, sewer main installation, and utility relocations.
It also includes traffic signal upgrades and landscaping to support the area’s development and enhance traffic management.
The Mayor said approximately 500 new homes were expected to be delivered in the next stage of the estate.
“Our city’s population is forecast to grow from approximately 166,800 now to about 212,000 in 2046, according to the Queensland Government’s ShapingSEQ 2023 vision document, with the number of dwellings on Redlands Coast forecast to grow from 65,000 in 2021 to 85,000 by 2046,” she said.
“Kinross Road Estate is an important component of that growth and the entrance road upgrade will deliver significant benefits to the community and future residents.”
In a media statement, the Federal Government said the Housing Support Program aimed to fast-track housing in regional and metropolitan growth areas by enabling infrastructure works that will support access to social housing and increase housing supply.
Federal Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Senator Murray Watt met with Mayor Jos Mitchell at the Kinross Estate in Thornlands on the weekend to discuss the funding and see where the funding would open up more housing opportunities for the city.
Division 7 Councillor Rowanne McKenzie said the Kinross Road work would ensure smooth and efficient access to the estate and facilitate the integration of new housing into the area.

after a six-month closure to complete a major refurbishment
with its tin roof and exposed timber beams
the venue has been refreshed with several modern features
A 180-seat carpeted dining room and 130-seat function room are in the centre of the building
The entrance closest to Table Top Road features a beer garden and fireplace
sits behind the gaming room and will be opened by mid-February
Co-owner Peter Griffiths, who purchased the Thurgoona premises on Table Top Road with his wife Adrienne in 2022
has been thrilled to see the transformation come together
The pair also own Albury's Astor Hotel, which underwent a facelift in 2020.
"Exposed timber and tin roofing is still visible throughout
and we've softened the main dining room with fantastic carpet
"The front of the venue is targeted more at traditional pubgoers
while the bistro and family function areas are at the other end
Kinross Woolshed's colourful new dining area can seat 180 patrons
Picture by Mark Jesser"Patrons can come out of the bistro and see one of the new bars and have the option to sit up there for a drink
"All of the amenities and infrastructure are new."
An eye-catching element in the two dining areas is the purpose-made light coverings designed from pennants and ribbons one would receive at country shows
The original wool press has remained alongside another fireplace in the function room
Mr Griffiths said the Kinross Woolshed menu would feature traditional pub fare
but it would be set apart by its selection of smoked meats
Kinross Woolshed head chef Kevin Pisani will draw on his experience with smoked meats with a diverse menu to be offered at the revamped Thurgoona pub
Picture by Mark JesserHead chef Kevin Pisani
who has moved to the Border from Melbourne
Kinross Woolshed will employ more than 70 staff in total
you need an engine room that can service it," Mr Griffiths said
"We've recruited a great chef in Kevin Pisani from Melbourne
"He comes from some very high-volume pubs and restaurants in Melbourne
One of the new outdoor bar areas at Kinross Woolshed
Picture by Mark Jesser"One of his passions is smoked meats
and he has also had a few years as a pitmaster at a smokehouse in Melbourne."
A large three-door smoker will be used to slow-cook meats
while a separate charcoal oven will service a second kitchen attached to the outdoor deck
We've also got a big soft serve machine to do ice cream for the kids," he said
A six-lane bowling alley is under construction at the Kinross Woolshed and is set to be open by the end of February 2025
Picture by Mark JesserA six-lane bowling alley will be operational in a new building on the edge of the car park by the end of February
It will be the only place to play ten-pin bowling in Albury after the city's lone venue on Olive Street closed in 2014.
but I was meeting a pub owner in Melbourne who had put lanes in
"It's ideal for corporate events where you can come down and have lunch and a bowl
or something to fill in an hour or two when you have something to eat
but our view is the bowling will remain something casual and fun
Thurgoona's Kinross Woolshed will reopen on Saturday
after a six-month closure to complete a major revamp
Picture by Mark Jesser"Our bookings will be set up so everything can be organised online
If you wanted to just come in and have a game of bowling with your friends
we'll also have digital kiosks where you can place your orders."
Work on a new children's playground commences next week
but we've added it with a lower level so parents can sit there and overlook the playground," Mr Griffiths said
"All the building works will be finished by the end of February
while the remainder of the outdoor areas should be finished around spring."
Mr Griffiths' son Sean, daughter Sarah Overend, Pat Thomson and Astor Hotel licensee Brendan Cooper will oversee operations at Kinross Woolshed

Bundaberg Regional Council is stepping up efforts to protect Mary Kinross Park following repeated incidents of vandalism that have led to costly repairs and temporary closures
Recent damage at the popular Bargara park included a large quantity of glass bottles being smashed on footpaths
contaminating the adjacent playground’s soft-fall material
The clean-up required extensive remediation
including the removal and replacement of the softfall
Council has made several changes at the site
including adjusting the lighting schedule at park shelters to turn off at 7.30 pm and carrying out tree pruning to improve visibility and passive surveillance
Council has sought the support of local police
who will increase patrols in the area to deter anti-social behaviour
Natural Resources and Environment portfolio spokesperson Cr Jason Bartels said these measures aimed to ensure Mary Kinross Park remained a safe and enjoyable space for the community
“Acts of vandalism like this not only damage public spaces but also impact families who use these facilities,” he said
“The closure of the playground was a huge inconvenience for families
and the clean-up came at a significant cost
“We are committed to ensuring the park remains a welcoming place for everyone
and we appreciate the support of local police in keeping it that way.”
Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to police to help protect the park and other community spaces

The company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once. In this timeframe, it delivered an earnings surprise of 23.6%, on average. It posted a negative earnings surprise of 13% in the last reported quarter. KGC is likely to have benefited from higher average realized gold prices in the quarter to be reported.
KGC’s shares have rallied 115.6% over the past year compared with the Zacks Mining – Gold industry’s 47.2% rise.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Kinross this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earning beat.
Earnings ESP: Earnings ESP for KGC is +11.07%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the first quarter is currently pegged at 22 cents. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: KGC currently carries a Zacks Rank #2.
(Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues for Kinross for the to-be-reported quarter stands at $1,294.9 million, reflecting a rise of around 19.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Kinross has a strong production profile and boasts a promising pipeline of exploration and development projects. Tasiast and Paracatu, the company’s two biggest assets, remain the key contributors to cash flow generation and production. Tasiast, which remains the lowest-cost asset within its portfolio, is likely to have achieved strong performance while Paracatu is expected to continue to have delivered steady production in the first quarter.
KGC, like most miners, is exposed to higher production costs. It saw a 12.5% year-over-year rise in production costs of sales per ounce to $1,098 in the fourth quarter of 2024. The same also rose roughly 8% year over year to $1,020 in 2024. While KGC is taking actions to control costs, the inflationary pressure is likely to have continued in the first quarter, weighing on its overall financial performance.

(TSXV: RLYG) (OTCQB: RLYGF) ("Riley Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the 2025 Exploration Program is well underway at the Company's Pipeline West/Clipper Gold Project ("PWC")
located in the Cortez mining district of the Battle Mountain - Eureka Trend
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K) (NYSE: KGC)
under an exploration earn-in agreement executed in March 2024 whereby Kinross has the right to earn up to 75% of PWC by spending USD$20,000,000 (for full details of the Kinross agreement please see the March 14
Kinross has defined new high-priority framework drill target areas at PWC that have never been drill tested (see Figure 1 below);
First set of 2025 framework drill holes are approximately 2.5 kilometers north-northwest of the previous (and first) Kinross drill hole (in late 2024)
These holes are targeting the highest grade gold-in-soil anomalies location on the property;
and gold-in-soil survey results uploaded in Leapfrog software support the new 2025 drill hole locations;
Recent geologic modeling and interpretation by Kinross also provides a supporting structural foundation and information for the 2025 Exploration and Drill Program
drill permitting is in process and drilling is expected to begin in approximately 4-6 weeks;
Additional soil sampling is planned by Kinross for the 2025 field season to increase surface geochemical coverage adjacent to the 2023 soil survey completed by Riley Gold
The previous soil survey returned significant anomalous gold-in-soil values that extended more than 3 kilometres ("km")
associated with both Carlin-type and intrusive-related gold deposits
were also elevated in the first soil survey;
Kinross's first PWC deep framework drill hole (PW1-24) was completed successfully in the Fall of 2024 and was designed to test for favourable lower plate carbonate Carlin-type host rocks and was drilled to 3,597 feet (1,096 m)
The drill hole was designed to identify local stratigraphy in a large area within the 25 km² PWC land package with no previous deep drilling
PW24-01 successfully intercepted a 1,251 foot (380 m) thick structurally complex section of lower-plate carbonates starting at a depth of 2,346 feet (715 m) including 1,193 feet (364 m) of structurally thickened Devonian Wenban Formation
PW24-01 demonstrates that known Cortez District host lithologies exist at explorable drill depths over a contiguously large
untested area proximal to the Pipeline complex area
"We are happy to start the year aggressively with the 2025 Exploration Program well underway
Kinross has been amazing to work with and we have full faith that their strong technical team
along with Riley Gold's PWC technical lead
Kinross has successfully identified stratigraphy and lithology at explorable depths
similar to that of local large gold deposits like the Fourmile discovery and the Cortez Complex owned and operated by Nevada Gold Mines LLC ("NGM")," commented Todd Hilditch

A comprehensive geologic model was built for comparison with the many Cortez Districts >5.0-million-ounce gold discoveries
The new step-out wide spaced framework drill holes are being spotted approximately 2.5 km (up to 8,200 feet) northwest of the first Kinross drill hole (see Figure 1 below) and will include northwest vectoring to the highest-grade surface geochemical gold anomalies from the soil survey near the intersection of two major structures

Mine-by-mine summaries for 2024 fourth-quarter and full-year operating results may be found on pages 19 and 23 of this news release
Tasiast had another excellent year in 2024
achieving record annual production and cash flow
The record annual production was mainly a result of record throughput following the completion of the Tasiast 24k project in the second half of 2023
production was lower as a result of planned lower grades and mill maintenance
partially offset by improvements in recovery
Tasiast’s full-year cost of sales per ounce sold was higher year-over-year primarily due to higher royalties as a result of the increase in gold prices and higher labour costs
largely offset by a higher proportion of costs allocated to capital development
Cost of sales per ounce sold increased quarter-over-quarter
full-year production decreased compared with 2023
mainly as a result of lower grades due to planned mine sequencing into harder material in the southwest area of the pit
Cost of sales per ounce sold was higher year-over-year due to lower production
higher drilling contractor and blasting supply costs
partially offset by favourable foreign exchange rates
Production decreased quarter-over-quarter mainly due to the lower throughput from the timing of mill maintenance and mine sequencing
Cost of sales per ounce sold was higher quarter-over-quarter due to the decrease in production
partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rates
annual production is expected to increase as the site moves into higher-grade portions of the mine plan
full year production decreased compared with 2023 due to a decrease in silver grades and throughput
partially offset by an increase in gold grades
Production increased quarter-over-quarter due to higher throughput
Cost of sales per ounce sold was higher in both comparable periods primarily due to a lower proportion of mining activities related to capital development in 2024 and higher mill maintenance costs and optimization
Kinross continues to progress permitting work for mine life extensions at La Coipa
Full-year production at Fort Knox increased significantly compared with 2023
primarily due to first production from the higher-grade
higher-recovery ore from Manh Choh in the second half of 2024
Cost of sales per ounce sold was in line with 2023
Quarter-over-quarter production decreased and cost of sales per ounce sold increased due to the timing of processing Manh Choh ore
which was more heavily weighted to Q3 2024
full-year production decreased compared with 2023 due to fewer ounces recovered from the heap leach pads
partially offset by higher mill production
production was in line and cost of sales per ounce sold increased largely due to higher cost ounces produced from the heap leach pads
full-year production increased compared with 2023 due to higher grades
Full-year cost of sales per ounce sold decreased mainly due to lower supplies costs and higher production
partially offset by a lower proportion of mining activities related to capital development
production was largely in line and cost of sales per ounce sold was lower mainly due to the timing of sales
Kinross continues to progress its AEX program and Main Project permitting
has commenced with the necessary permits received for all current activities
The two remaining permits required for full AEX completion and operation are under review by the regulatory authorities and are expected to be received later in the year
Detailed engineering and procurement continue to advance
The Company is focused on progressing AEX activities including construction of the exploration decline planned to commence in late 2025
Kinross is advancing detailed engineering and execution planning
The selection of design partners is well underway and work is planned to commence in Q1 2025
This work will provide key engineering information for permitting and construction
The Company continues to work with the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada on advancing its Impact Statement
which is planned to be submitted later in 2025
Consultation continues with designated Indigenous communities
including discussions to finalize related agreements
Kinross has shifted from deep underground resource drilling to regional exploration work with the goal of identifying new open pit and underground deposits
Kinross released its Preliminary Economic Assessment for Great Bear on September 10
The Project is expected to produce over 500,000 ounces per year at an all-in sustaining cost of approximately $800 per ounce during the first 8 years through a conventional
Kinross also released an updated mineral resource estimate increasing the inferred resource estimate by 568 koz
which was in addition to the M&I resource estimate of 2.7 Moz
Kinross is pleased to announce plans to proceed with mining at the Redbird pit at Bald Mountain
following the receipt of the Juniper permit in the second half of 2024
Kinross has approved mining of Phase 1 at Redbird
and is expected to produce approximately 175 koz.
could begin in 2026 and extend production from Bald Mountain through 2031
Phase 1 lowers the initial capital risk by leveraging existing heap leach infrastructure
and can progress in 2025 while work continues on optimizing the design and execution plan for Phase 2
Phase 1 initial capex of $120 million is primarily pre-strip mining cost
and the project has an all-in sustaining cost of approximately $1,500/oz
Kinross is progressing baseline studies to support the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Lobo-Marte project
Lobo-Marte continues to be a potential large
low-cost mine and Kinross is committed to progressing next steps to advance the project

Kinross continued to deliver strong sustainability performance throughout the year
reflected in strong Sustainability scores as measured by MSCI
and was named to the S&P 2025 Global Sustainability Yearbook for the 12th time since 2012
Kinross’ robust approach to environmental performance includes advancing its climate change strategy
The Company is on track to achieve its greenhouse gas (GHG) target of reducing emissions intensity by 30% by 2030 from its 2021 baseline
Kinross implemented more than 15 energy efficiency projects across sites
switching from diesel generators to electricity at fuel islands and lime silos
The Company also advanced its estimation of Scope 3 GHG emissions and completed outreach with the suppliers representing the majority of total spend to understand their approaches to emissions reduction
with a particular focus on sustainability after mine closure
Kinross was also recognized with a 2024 award for Business Achievement in Sustainability by the Canadian Council for the Americas
Kinross’ robust corporate governance standards for its Board of Directors continue to be driven by a focus on delivering value through a mix of skills and experience
director independence and succession planning
Kinross was the top scoring gold mining company in The Globe and Mail’s annual corporate governance ranking and increased its score by four points from 2023
ranking in the top 10% of companies overall
approximately 318,000 metres of drilling was completed for all exploration projects (brownfields
The Company’s brownfields and minex exploration efforts – which accounted for approximately 85% of the Company’s exploration – continued to focus within the footprint of existing mines and projects during 2024
Kinross’ exploration efforts at Great Bear in 2024 primarily focused on directional drilling beyond the 1,000-metre depth to show the underground potential of the asset
which was updated in September along with the release of a PEA
The 2024 drilling intersected mineralization beyond the current resource and PEA inventory across multiple zones up to a vertical depth of 1,600 metres
demonstrating the system is still open with continuation of high-grade mineralization at depth and highlighting the potential for further resource additions
Given the costs of drilling to this depth from surface and the significant resource already identified
late last year the exploration focus shifted to regional exploration work on the ~120 square kilometre land package to look for additional open pit and underground opportunities
work on the AEX decline will be progressed to support future exploration at LP from underground
drilling in Q4 expanded infill drilling into the upper zone of the primary exploration target
with results showing numerous intercepts with strong widths and grades
supporting the thesis of potential for bulk mining at Phase X
Approximately 21,000 metres have been drilled at Phase X since starting the exploration decline in 2023
The program in 2024 successfully intersected both the upper and lower exploration targets
demonstrating continuous wide mineralization with strong grades
In 2025 Kinross will focus on completing infill drilling of the exploration target at Phase X to support further studies to progress the project
approximately 5,000 metres of drilling were completed both from the bottom of the pit to better define the vein system and from surface
which extended one of the main targets 150 metres on strike
The 30,400 metre 2024 drilling program at Curlew Basin successfully targeted higher grade extensions of mineralization and delivered the following successes:
Kinross plans to continue this focus on higher-grade mineralization
targeting new discoveries and extensions of mineralization at North Stealth and Roadrunner
Drilling this year at Fort Knox focused on growth at two main targets: around the satellite Gil pit and around the Fort Knox pit
The growth highlights at Fort Knox have not been included in the current resource update and may offer potential to augment medium-term production plans at Fort Knox
An additional 2,466 metres of drilling occurred on the Fort Knox property
testing new target areas between the Fort Knox and Gil mines
drilling at Fort Knox will continue to focus on growth opportunities at Gil and around the Fort Knox pit
and will also target exploration along the structural trend between the Fort Knox and Gil deposits
4,760 metres of drilling was completed across six target areas identifying encouraging skarn alteration at three targets that will be followed up on in 2025
Surface sampling to identify new drill targets was completed along the mine road corridor and greater Tetlin lease in 2024
Exploration drilling at Bald Mountain in 2024 focused on low-strip
near-pit extensions in the North and South area of operations and within the Bida trend
with roughly 21,000 metres drilled in the year on brownfields and minex programs
2025 drilling will be focused on conversion of inferred resources at the Redbird pit and on generative projects looking for new deposits on the large
highly prospective land package at Bald Mountain
drill testing of the West Branch orebody at depth
to provide additional data for assessing future underground mining
Wide zones of mineralization have been intersected down plunge of the current underground resource of 1.1 Moz
extending mineralization on strike and down plunge 700 metres to date
which is a satellite deposit on the TMLSA license
work completed during the year resulted in the addition of 110 koz
two RC and two diamond drill rigs were actively drilling target areas
A total of 51,135 metres had been drilled by year end and drilling will continue throughout 2025
The brownfields drilling program further delineated the gold porphyry mineralization potential at Cerros Bravos
The porphyry is located approximately 8 kilometres due north of Kinross’ mine facilities
Step out drilling and geophysics carried out in 2024 helped define new targets for further work in 2025 at Cerros Bravos
2025 drilling in Chile will also focus on existing known trends on the La Coipa license looking for extensions of previously mined orebodies and for new mineralization
Brownfields exploration focused on systematically testing targets on the Company’s extensive land packages
which extend over 35 kilometres along the northwest corridor from the Paracatu mine
with results showing similar style and grade of mineralization to Paracatu
and ground IP and Lidar surveys were also completed in 2024
The greenfields exploration strategy is to identify and explore in areas that have the potential to host high-grade gold deposits
The Company looks for opportunities where it can stake its own claims or collaborate with high-quality junior exploration companies through either joint venture agreements or via equity investment
The primary focus is exploring for orogenic
Carlin and intrusion related gold and gold-copper style deposits
The greenfields exploration programs in 2024 were focused on targets located in Canada
and Finland with approximately 45,000 metres of drilling completed on all projects
the focus in Canada was primarily on the large land holdings in Snow Lake
where Kinross has 100% ownership of six exploration properties: Laguna
Drilling on the Laguna and the Laguna North properties has continued to define and extend high-grade mineralization on multiple gold rich
Kinross is focused on expanding identified veins and discovering additional vein systems on the property to increase the critical mass of mineralization to support further work
Kinross is also progressing prospecting and mapping on the SLG property to find new veins after identifying a 200 metres long shear zone in 2023
The 2024 work identified two new shear zones 1.5 kilometres and 4 kilometres from the 2023 shear zone
with grab samples on the new zones showing strong grades including 78.9 g/t
Kinross has 100% ownership of four greenfield exploration properties in northwest Ontario
three of which are in the Red Lake district outside of the Great Bear property
Initial reconnaissance mapping and prospecting on one of those properties yielded grab samples of 12.35 g/t
3.17 g/t and 5.16 g/t Au in newly identified quartz veins
Kinross plans to follow-up with detailed mapping and prospecting in 2025
an option agreement was signed with Puma Exploration Inc
for a 65% interest in their Williams Brook property in New Brunswick
The Williams Brook project has seen early-stage work completed by Puma which has identified 5 anomalous zones including Lynx
Highlights from each target include 5.55 g/t Au over 50.15m at Lynx and grab samples of values up to up to 34 g/t Au at Jaguar
6.69 g/t Au at Cheetah and 19.9 g/t Au at Tiger
Kinross holds a number of projects in Nevada that are either 100% owned or are in joint venture with private individuals
Work on Kinross’ Nevada projects in 2024 included geophysics
and RC and diamond drilling of early-stage targets
a joint venture was established with Riley Gold Corporation on its PWC project
which is contiguous with the western boundary of Nevada Gold Mines’ Pipeline Complex
Kinross completed an initial diamond drill hole
designed to test for favourable lower plate carbonate Carlin-type host rocks
The initial 1,095 metre drill hole successfully intercepted the favourable lower plate carbonates starting at a depth of 715 metres
demonstrating that known Cortez District host lithologies exist at explorable drill depths over a large
Work continues evaluating and advancing new pipeline projects through third party agreements and on opportunistic claim staking and drill testing of opportunities in the principal metallogenic belts throughout the U.S
including the Walker Lane and the primary trends of Carlin-type deposits
Kinross is progressing exploration on its own land positions and with joint venture partners in Finland on the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt
along a greenstone belt of similar scale to the Abitibi that has had limited historical gold exploration and development
Kinross’ land positions are proximal to Agnico Eagle’s Kittilä Gold mine and Rupert Resource’s Ikkari gold deposit
which reported more than 4 million ounces at 2.2 g/t Au in indicated resources
Work in 2024 included approximately 11,000 meters of base-of-till drilling which is used to test the surface of bedrock under cover for gold anomalies
Base-of-till drilling was used successfully in the discoveries of Rupert Resource’s Ikkari gold deposit and Agnico Eagle’s Kittilä gold mine
and the work on Kinross’ properties in 2024 identified numerous gold anomalies
Kinross also completed approximately 4,800 metres of diamond drilling to follow up on identified gold anomalies in 2024
with results showing encouraging gold grades at Launi-East including 5.23 g/t over 3.65m and 10.05 g/t over 0.95m
Kinross will continue to follow up on identified targets in 2025
2025 exploration expenditure guidance (brownfields
minex and greenfields) is $175 million (+/-5%) compared with the $166.4 million spent in 2024
The 2025 programs are designed to follow-up on existing zones of mineralization and to make new discoveries in all of Kinross’ jurisdictions

2024 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources update(See the Company’s detailed Annual Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Statement estimated as at December 31
2024 and explanatory notes starting at page 33.)
Kinross increased its gold price assumptions from $1,400 per ounce to $1,600 per ounce for its mineral reserve estimates and from $1,700 per ounce to $2,000 per ounce for its mineral resource estimates
The Company also increased its silver price assumptions to $20 per ounce and $25 per ounce for its mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates
and maintained its fully loaded costing methodology
Kinross is focused on upgrading the quality of its resources through delineating high-grade gold ounces with the objective of converting to reserves
Kinross added 1.7 million ounces to its inferred resource
which included high-grade additions at both Great Bear and Curlew
________________________18 Please see pages 36 and 37 for Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Statement Notes.19 Rounding of values to the 000s may result in apparent discrepancies.20 M&I depletion is positive due to the addition of 221 koz
Kinross’ total proven and probable mineral reserve estimates decreased by 4%
at year-end 2024 compared with 22.8 million Au oz
The net decrease was mostly due to depletion
with decreases offset by a net increase of 1.5 million ounces driven by increases at Bald Mountain
Bald Mountain reserves increased by 971 koz
before depletion driven by conversion of resources to reserves at Redbird after receiving permits for the Juniper land package
a new life of mine plan has been completed following the 2024 reserve update
Production from Tasiast from 2025 through 2027 is decreasing compared to 2024 driven by mine plan sequencing and lower grades during the stripping phase of West Branch 5
The new life of mine plan has shown an increase of 100 koz
over that 3-year period as compared to the previous life of mine plan on the back of operational improvements
and the addition of the Fennec satellite pit
The following graph illustrates Tasiast’s reserve and mine plan update:
Kinross’ total measured and indicated mineral resource estimate at year-end 2024 was 25.9 million Au oz
The slight decrease is the result of net growth on the higher gold price and new drilling less the conversion of resources to reserves
Kinross’ total inferred mineral resource estimate increased by 15% or 1.7 million Au oz
with additions from most sites across the portfolio
was driven by new drilling at Great Bear and Curlew and growth on higher gold price

The definition and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure is included on pages 30 to 31 of this news release.(f) La Coipa silver grade and recovery were as follows: Q4 2024: 42.57 g/t
(g) The Fort Knox segment is composed of Fort Knox and Manh Choh
and comparative results shown are presented in accordance with the current year’s presentation
Manh Choh tonnes of ore processed and grade were as follows: Q4 2024: 138,937 tonnes
Tonnes of ore processed and grade were nil for all other periods presented as production commenced in July 2024
The attributable results for Fort Knox include 100% of Fort Knox and 70% of Manh Choh
Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios in this document
These financial measures and ratios are not defined under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation
The Company believes that these financial measures and ratios
together with financial measures and ratios determined in accordance with IFRS
provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company
The inclusion of these financial measures and ratios is meant to provide additional information and should not be used as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS
These financial measures and ratios 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
Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures and ratios 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
gains and losses and other one-time costs related to acquisitions
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 and ratios
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
adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share measures and ratios are not necessarily indicative of net earnings and earnings per share measures and ratios as determined under IFRS
The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings for the periods presented:
such as one-time costs and recoveries at sites
which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s underlying performance for the reporting period
Attributable free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net cash flow provided from operating activities less attributable capital expenditures and non-controlling interest included in net cash flows provided from operating activities
which is used internally to evaluate the Company’s underlying cash generation performance and the ability to repay creditors and return cash to shareholders
provides investors with the ability to better evaluate the Company’s underlying performance
this measure is not necessarily indicative of operating earnings or net cash flow provided from operating activities as determined under IFRS
The following table provides a reconciliation of attributable free cash flow for the periods presented:
See pages 31 and 32 for details of the endnotes referenced within the table above
Attributable Adjusted Operating Cash Flow
Attributable adjusted operating cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net cash flow provided from operating activities excluding changes in working capital
certain impacts which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s regular operating cash flow
and net cash flows provided from operating activities
Working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors
The Company uses attributable 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
the attributable adjusted operating cash flow measure is not necessarily indicative of net cash flow provided from operating activities as determined under IFRS.The following table provides a reconciliation of attributable adjusted operating cash flow for the periods presented:
Attributable Average Realized Gold Price per Ounce
Attributable average realized gold price per ounce is a non-GAAP ratio which calculates the average price realized from gold sales attributable to the Company
The Company believes that this measure provides a more accurate measure with which to compare the Company's gold sales performance to market gold prices
The following table provides a reconciliation of attributable average realized gold price per ounce for the periods presented:
See page 31 and 32 for details of the endnotes referenced within the table above
Attributable Production Cost of Sales per Equivalent Ounce Sold
Production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold is defined as production cost of sales
as reported on the consolidated statement of operations
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 equivalent ounce sold is a non-GAAP ratio 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 attributable non-gold production into gold equivalent ounces and credits it to total attributable production
Management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate the performance of its operating properties that are attributable to its shareholders
The following table provides a reconciliation of production cost of sales 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
Attributable production cost of sales per ounce sold on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP ratio 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
Management believes that this ratio 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:
Attributable All-In Sustaining Cost and All-In Cost per Ounce Sold on a By-Product Basis
Attributable all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost per ounce sold on a by-product basis are non-GAAP financial measures and ratios
calculated based on guidance published by the World Gold Council (“WGC”)
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 metrics
Adoption of the all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost metrics is voluntary and not necessarily standard
these measures and ratios presented by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures and ratios presented by other issuers
The Company believes that the all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost measures complement existing measures and ratios 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 production cost of sales
Attributable All-In Sustaining Cost and All-In Cost per Equivalent Ounce Sold
The Company also assesses its attributable all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost on a gold equivalent ounce basis
Under these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios
the Company’s production of silver is converted into gold equivalent ounces and credited to total production
Attributable all-in sustaining cost and all-in cost per equivalent ounce sold are calculated by adjusting production cost of sales
Capital Expenditures and Attributable Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are classified as either sustaining capital expenditures or non-sustaining capital expenditures
depending on the nature of the expenditure
Sustaining capital expenditures typically represent capital expenditures at existing operations including capitalized exploration costs and capitalized development unless related to major projects
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 consolidated statements of cash flows)
Non-sustaining capital expenditures represent capital expenditures for major projects
including major capital development projects at existing operations that are expected to materially benefit the operation
as well as enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations
Management believes the distinction between sustaining capital expenditures and non-sustaining expenditures is a useful indicator of the purpose of capital expenditures and this distinction is an input into the calculation of attributable all-in sustaining costs per ounce and attributable all-in costs per ounce
The categorization of sustaining capital expenditures and non-sustaining capital expenditures is consistent with the definitions under the WGC all-in cost standard
Sustaining capital expenditures and non-sustaining capital expenditures are not defined under IFRS
the sum of these two measures total to additions to property
plant and equipment as disclosed under IFRS on the consolidated statements of cash flows
plant and equipment per the consolidated statements of cash flows includes 100% of capital expenditures for Manh Choh
Attributable capital expenditures includes Kinross' 70% share of capital expenditures for Manh Choh
Management believes this to be a useful indicator of Kinross’ cash resources utilized for capital expenditures
The following table provides a reconciliation of the classification of capital expenditures for the periods presented:
(a) “Attributable” measures and ratios include Kinross’ share of Manh Choh (70%) cash flows
sales and capital expenditures.(b) “Non-controlling interest” represents the non-controlling interest portion in Manh Choh (30%) and other subsidiaries for which the Company’s interest is less than 100% for cash flow from operating activities
as appropriate.(c) “Silver revenue” represents the portion of metal sales realized from the production of the secondary or by-product metal (i.e
which is produced as a by-product of the process used to produce gold
effectively reduces the cost of gold production.(d) “Average realized gold price per ounce” is defined as gold revenue divided by total gold ounces sold.(e) “Production cost of sales per equivalent ounce sold” is defined as production cost of sales divided by total gold equivalent ounces sold.(f) “General and administrative” expenses are as reported on the consolidated statements of operations
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.(g) “Other operating expense – sustaining” is calculated as “Other operating expense” as reported on the consolidated statements of operations
less the non-controlling interest portion in Manh Choh (30%) and other subsidiaries for which the Company’s interest is less than 100% and other operating and reclamation and remediation expenses related to non-sustaining activities as well as other items not reflective of the underlying operating performance of our business
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
Other operating expenses incurred at locations where there is no current operation or related to other non-sustaining activities are classified as non-sustaining.(h) “Reclamation and remediation – sustaining” is calculated as current period accretion related to reclamation and remediation obligations plus current period amortization of the corresponding reclamation and remediation assets
less the non-controlling interest portion in Manh Choh (30%) and other subsidiaries for which the Company’s interest is less than 100%
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.(i) “Exploration and business development – sustaining” is calculated as “Exploration and business development” expenses as reported on the consolidated statements of operations
less the non-controlling interest portion in Manh Choh (30%) and other subsidiaries for which the Company’s interest is less than 100% and non-sustaining exploration and business development 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 are therefore included in sustaining costs
Exploration expenditures focused on new ore bodies near existing mines (i.e
greenfield) or for other generative exploration activity not linked to existing mining operations are classified as non-sustaining
Business development expenses are classified as either sustaining or non-sustaining based on a determination of the type of expense and requirement for general or growth-related operations.(j) “Additions to property
plant and equipment – sustaining” and “non-sustaining” are as presented on pages 30 and 31 of this news release and include Kinross’ share of Manh Choh’s (70%) sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures.(k) “Lease payments – sustaining” represents the majority of lease payments as reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is made up of the principal and financing components of such cash payments
Lease payments for development projects or closed mines are classified as non-sustaining.(l) The Fort Knox segment is composed of Fort Knox and Manh Choh for all periods presented
2024 Annual Mineral Reserve and Resource Statement
See pages 36 and 37 of this news release for details of the footnotes referenced within the table above
See pages 36 and 37 of this news release for details of the footnotes referenced within the table above
Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Statement Notes
the Company's mineral reserves are estimated using appropriate cut-off grades based on an assumed gold price of $1,600 per ounce and a silver price of $20.00 per ounce
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 reserve estimates are reported in contained units based on Kinross' interest and are estimated based on the following foreign exchange rates:
Canadian Dollar to $US 1.35 Chilean Peso to $US 900.00 Brazilian Real to $US 5.25 Mauritanian Ouguiya to $US 37.50
(2) The mineral reserve estimates for Lobo Marte assume a $1,200 per ounce gold price and foreign exchange rate assumption of Chilean Peso to $US 800.00 are based on the 2021 Feasibility Study
(3) The Company’s mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates as at December 31
2024 are classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining
Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) “CIM Definition Standards ‑ For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves” adopted by the CIM Council (as amended
the “CIM Definition 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
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
“indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43 101 and the CIM Definition Standards
These definitions differ from the definitions in subpart 1300 of Regulation S K (“Subpart 1300”)
While the definitions in Subpart 1300 are similar to the definitions in NI 43 101 and the CIM Definitions Standard
the definitions in Subpart 1300 differ from the requirements of
NI 43 101 and the CIM Definition Standards
investors are cautioned that while the above terms are “substantially similar” to CIM Definitions
there are differences in the definitions in Subpart 1300 and the CIM Definition Standards
there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as “proven mineral reserves”
“indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43 101 would be the same had the Company prepared the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates under the standards set forth in Subpart 1300
investors are also cautioned that while the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) recognizes “measured mineral resources”
“indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under Subpart 1300
investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves
Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves
investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources
or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable
“inferred mineral resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically
investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the “inferred mineral resources” exist
estimates of “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies
As a foreign private issuer that files its annual report on Form 40 F with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system
the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the Subpart 1300 provisions and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43 101 and the CIM Definition Standards
If the Company ceases to be a foreign private issuer or loses its eligibility to file its annual report on Form 40 F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system
then the Company will be subject to reporting pursuant to the Subpart 1300 provisions
which differ from the requirements of NI 43 101 and the CIM Definition Standards
the mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates and related information in this news release 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 securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder
(5) The Company’s mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates were prepared under the supervision of and verified by Mr
who is a qualified person as defined by NI 43‑101
(6) The Company’s normal data verification procedures have been used in collecting
interpreting and processing the data used to estimate mineral reserves and mineral resource
(7) Rounding of values to the 000s may result in apparent discrepancies
(8) Round Mountain refers to the Round Mountain project
which includes the Round Mountain deposit and the Gold Hill deposit
The Round Mountain deposit does not contain silver and all silver resources at Round Mountain are contained exclusively within the Gold Hill deposit
Disclosure of gold mineral reserves and mineral resources reflect both the Round Mountain deposit and the Gold Hill deposit
Disclosure of silver mineral reserves and mineral resources reflect only the Gold Hill deposit
(9) Includes mineral resources and mineral reserves from the Puren deposit in which the Company holds a 65% interest; as well as mineral resources from the Catalina deposit
(10) Mineral resources are exclusive of mineral reserves
the Company’s mineral resources are estimated using appropriate cut-off grades based on a gold price of $2,000 per ounce and a silver price of $25.00 per ounce
Foreign exchange rates for estimating mineral resources were the same as for mineral reserves
(12) The mineral resource estimates for Lobo Marte assume a $1,600 per ounce gold price and are based on the 2021 Feasibility Study
(13) Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have to demonstrate economic viability
Mineral resources are subject to infill drilling
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
(14) The mineral resource estimates for Great Bear assume a $1,700 per ounce gold price and foreign exchange rate assumption of 1.35 CAD per 1.00 USD and are based on the 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment
Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Definitions
A ‘Mineral Resource’ is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form
grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction
continuity and other geological characteristics 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 are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling
Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity
An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve
It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration
An ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity
shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of Modifying Factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit
Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration
sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation
An Indicated Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to a Measured Mineral Resource and may only be converted to a Probable Mineral Reserve
A ‘Measured Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity
and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit
Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration
sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation
A Measured Mineral Resource has a higher level of confidence than that applying to either an Indicated Mineral Resource or an Inferred Mineral Resource
It may be converted to a Proven Mineral Reserve or to a Probable Mineral Reserve
A ‘Mineral Reserve’ is the economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource
It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses
which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility level as appropriate that include application of Modifying Factors
The reference point at which Mineral Reserves are defined
usually the point where the ore is delivered to the processing plant
in all situations where the reference point is different
a clarifying statement is included to ensure that the reader is fully informed as to what is being reported
The public disclosure of a Mineral Reserve must be demonstrated by a Pre-Feasibility Study or Feasibility Study
A ‘Probable Mineral Reserve’ is the economically mineable part of an Indicated
The confidence in the Modifying Factors applying to a Probable Mineral Reserve is lower than that applying to a Proven Mineral Reserve
A ‘Proven Mineral Reserve’ is the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource
A Proven Mineral Reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the Modifying Factors
drilling results for the upper zone continue to show good grades and strong widths

Perth & Kinross Council has authorised a £170,000 cash injection for Culture Perth & Kinross
the charity that manages its cultural services
which runs several sites in the city including the new Perth Museum
is facing a deficit that is “significantly more” than originally budgeted for
according to a report to the council’s finance committee
The deficit partly stems from additional costs relating to pay and historic equal pay claims
as well as high running costs at the trust’s venues
The museum opened in March 2024 after a £27.2m development
The trust reported to the council in November that the new museum's in-house café was running at a loss due to high overheads
The trust has been unable to find a private operator to run the café
despite putting the contract out to tender twice ahead of the museum's opening
The council agreed last year to underwrite £230,000 in potential upfront costs for the café
The trust used £60,000 to pay for fixtures and fittings in the café
but the remaining £170,000 was not required at the time
Councillors agreed this week that the remaining funds could be allocated to the trust if needed
The council report said: “Culture Perth and Kinross are currently projecting a deficit for 2024/25 that is significantly more than the level originally budgeted
They have experienced additional costs relating to the current year pay award
to historic equal pay claims and to the running costs of their establishments
Culture Perth & Kinross will have negative unrestricted reserves as at 31 March 2025
Council officers will continue to work with Culture Perth & Kinross to provide support and challenge but ultimately there may be a requirement to provide additional funding in the current year.”
Culture Perth & Kinross reported in January that 225,000 people had visited Perth Museum since it opened last year
including more than 78,150 visitors to see the Stone of Destiny

Perth and Kinross Council chiefs want all of the authority’s heavy goods vehicles to run on vegetable oil by the end of this year
It follows successful trials of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) in bin lorries
The green fuel will now be expanded to all 26 refuse collection vehicles in Perth and Kinross
The council has 80 HGVs in total across its fleet
despite a plea to scrap it and spend the £100,000 cost on rural buses instead
HVO costs about 15p more per litre than diesel
But bosses say the scheme could reduce the authority’s carbon footprint by 725 tonnes of CO2 a year
Councillor David Illingworth compared the proposal to “trying to whistle in a hurricane” in the era of Donald Trump and Chinese industrialisation
“It will have virtually zero impact on carbon reduction across the globe,” he told colleagues on the climate change and sustainability committee
“And at the same time we are incurring extra costs that we just don’t need to have.”
his motion to divert the money towards enhancing rural bus routes was defeated by seven votes to four
The committee’s convener Richard Watters said it was “a dangerous message to send”
Perth and Kinross Council agreed to trial the use of vegetable oil instead of diesel in six bin lorries last February
The experiment was a success
The HVO expansion is part of a five-year fleet decarbonisation strategy agreed by councillors on Wednesday
It also outlines ambitions around technologies such as electric and hydrogen
it’s hoped the Binn Ecopark Hydrogen Facility being developed by Green Cat Energy at Glenfarg could make hydrogen a viable option within the next few years
The size and rural nature of Perth and Kinross means there’s still a limit to the usefulness of electric vehicles
But bosses want the vehicle pool to increase to 15% electric (around 30 EVs) over the next five years
A report to the committee said: “The most appropriate strategic approach will include options for electric
HVO and a smaller number of diesel vehicles as a backup support for outlying areas.”

A domestic thug has been denied access to a “pioneering” rehabilitation scheme because he continues to deny his abusive behaviour
Kristofer Clayton was convicted of throttling a woman and pinning her to the floor during a terrifying attack at a house in Kinross
Clayton told police the allegations were “a lot of rubbish”
After a three-day trial at Perth Sheriff Court
he was convicted of six charges related to domestic abuse involving two women
He narrowly avoided a prison sentence when he returned to the dock for sentencing
Sheriff Grant McCulloch told him: “You have been interviewed by – and had discussions with – social workers
“Their report confirms you really have no insight into your behaviour
“You maintain denials – it’s always someone else’s fault and nothing to do with you.”
The sheriff said because Clayton refused to take responsibility, the Caledonian rehabilitation scheme was unavailable to him
He said: “That programme is extremely beneficial for people who have been involved in domestic abuse but that is not going to work for you
Clayton was told had the jury convicted him of all charges – including allegations of sexual assault – jail would have been “inevitable”
particularly the sexual offence allegations
I am satisfied there is an alternative to custody,” the sheriff said
Clayton was placed on supervision for two years and ordered to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work
He must also stay inside his Sauchie home between 9pm and 8am each night as part of a four-month restriction of liberty order
Jurors heard how the first offender attacked one of his victims at a house in Kinross
She told the trial how her foot was injured by a door when Clayton barged though it
“He started arguing because I asked him to leave
“We both said hurtful things to each other
“Then he hit a point of rage like I’d never seen before
“He grabbed my neck with both hands and started choking me.”
She remembered him applying pressure as he squeezed her throat
“I could feel myself coughing and choking for air
The woman told prosecutor Stephanie Paterson Clayton held her by the throat for about 20 to 30 seconds
She said he pinned her on the floor “by the neck”
“I lost my balance and I remember he was on all fours on top of me
“He pulled down my jeans and then he tried to pull down my pants
“I grabbed them and he ripped them up the side
Her torn black underwear was removed from an evidence bag and shown to jurors
She said there was a visible mark on her neck for days
The woman alleged Clayton sexually assaulted her but this was deleted from the charge by jurors when they delivered their verdict
Clayton was further convicted of engaging in a course of abusive behaviour towards the same woman
The court heard how he would act aggressively towards her
repeatedly send unwanted text messages and threatened to kill himself
He repeatedly went to her home uninvited and waited if she was not there
The court also heard how Clayton made up fake accounts to reach his victim on Snapchat and broke bail conditions by attempting to contact her
Clayton was also found guilty of assaulting another woman at addresses in Sauchie
On various occasions he injured the woman by grabbing her
pushing her onto a bed and punching the it next to her head
He made derogatory comments about her physical appearance

Kinross Gold (TSX:K) is taking the next steps in permitting process approvals having completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Great Bear Project located in Red Lake
The PEA supports the company’s acquisition thesis of a “top tier high-margin operation in a stable jurisdiction with strong infrastructure”
Kinross is continuing to progress work across the project for both the advanced exploration program (AEX) and the main project. Both remain subject to permitting
AEX permitting is a provincial process and Kinross is working with the authorities on finalising permits.
The main project’s permitting is mainly a federal review process driven by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC), with some provincial permitting components. An Impact Statement is currently in process and is expected to be submitted to the IAAC next year.
The company is targeting to start surface works in 2024
subject to receiving provincial permits.
Kinross has also actively engaged and consulted with Indigenous communities and organisations and has started negotiations of a project agreement with its First Nations partners Lac Seul and Wabauskang
Based on mineral resources drilled to date
the PEA outlines a “high-grade” combined open pit and underground mine with an initial planned mine life of about 12 years and production cost of sales of C$594 per ounce
The project is expected to produce more than 500,000 ounces per year at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$800 ($1,201) per ounce during the first eight years through a conventional
modest capital 10,000-tonne-per-day (tpd) mill
The total initial construction capital is forecast to be US$1.2 billion
Capitalised mine development prior to commercial production is expected to be about US$250 million
comprising US$105 million related to open pit mining and US$143 million related to underground capital development
which will support higher production in the early years
The majority of the capitalised open pit mining is driven by the strategic decision to pull forward mining of the Viggo pit during construction to provide low-cost construction rock
early mill feed and a robust in-pit solution for the tailings concentrate
The company says the project’s capital requirements are expected to be manageable for Kinross and are forecasted within its planned annual capex profile in the range of US$1 billion
“Kinross is confident it can continue to prioritise its investment grade balance sheet and comfortably fund Great Bear
along with other planned capital spending,” the company reports
Kinross has also released an updated mineral resource estimate increasing the inferred resource by 568,000oz to 3.884Moz
which is in addition to the existing measured and indicated resource estimate of 2.738Moz
The PEA demonstrates an initial life-of-mine of some 12 years with total production of 5.3Moz of gold
The open pit will be mined with a dual fleet strategy to provide selective mining of the high-grade material and lower cost mining of the waste
and providing a peak of 9,000 tpd of mineralised material
the primary mining method is long hole open stoping with paste backfill and cemented rock fill
First stope production is expected to begin in 2029
and to continue for 12 years with a peak production rate of 6,000 tpd
with potential to expand beyond this run rate as extensions to the underground resource are targeted

This includes a firm commitment to drill at least 5,000m within the first 18 months
Puma will remain the operator and will be assisted by a technical committee with equal representation from both companies
Puma will receive management fees based on annual exploration expenditures
with Kinross holding a 65% interest and Puma 35%

Both parties are required to contribute proportionally to their interests or face dilution
If a partner’s stake falls below 10%

with the option for Kinross to purchase half of this for $1.5m
the companies have agreed on an investor rights agreement
allowing Kinross to maintain its ownership percentage or increase it up to 19.9% in future equity financings
The completion of the option agreement and the offering are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange
Kinross has agreed to a private placement of Puma’s treasury common shares
acquiring approximately 9.9% of the company for $1.01m
The funds from this offering will be used by Puma for exploration and general corporate purposes
Puma Exploration president and CEO Marcel Robillard said: “We believe in the region’s potential to host Canada’s next major gold camp
the first major gold producer to establish a presence in New Brunswick
“I look forward to working with its first-in-class exploration and development team to grow the region’s potential”
