This annual report on Form 40-F, including the exhibits hereto, is specifically incorporated by reference into Kinross Gold Corporation's registration statement on Form F-10, Registration No. 333-102660, filed January 22, 2003, as amended January 29, 2003. NOTE FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA/U.S. REPORTING DIFFERENCES Pursuant to the requirements of Form 40-F, Kinross' Annual Information Form dated May 20, 2003, is hereby filed under cover of this form. In addition, the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three years ended December 31, 2002, together with the accompanying Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, are filed herewith. See Note 21 to the audited consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the financial statements to U.S. GAAP as required by Item 17 of Form 20-F. The formation of Kinross on May 31, 1993, qualifies under International Accounting Standard No. 22 (IAS 22), business combinations, as a uniting of interests and thereby has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. For purposes of reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, the accounting complies with Item 17 of Form 20-F and is different than that required by U.S. GAAP. Readers should note that in the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there are changes in accounting principles that have a material effect on the comparability of the financial statements, such as the changes described in Note 1 to Kinross' consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated March 3, 2003, except as to Note 23 (b), which is as of March 26, 2003, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not require a reference to such changes in accounting principles in the auditors' report when the changes are properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial statements. UNDERTAKING Registrant undertakes to make available, in person or by telephone, representatives to respond to inquiries made by the Commission staff, and to furnish promptly, when requested to do so by the Commission staff, information relating to: the securities registered pursuant to Form 40-F; the securities in relation to which the obligation to file an annual report on Form 40-F arises; or transactions in said securities. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES A. EVALUATION Based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report, Kinross' Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Kinross' disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13(a)-14(c) and 15(d)-14(c) under the Exchange Act are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Kinross in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. B. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS Since the date of the evaluation, there have not been any significant changes in the internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls, and there were not any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.
SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Registrant certifies that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form 40-F and has duly caused this annual report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereto duly authorized.
