## Business segments

For FY2025, Kinross’s operating segments are individual mine complexes rather than broad geographic regions: Paracatu in Brazil, Tasiast in Mauritania, Fort Knox in Alaska, La Coipa in Chile, and Bald Mountain and Round Mountain in Nevada. Fort Knox also processes ore from the Manh Choh project. [15](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/701818/000110465926035268/kgc-20251231x40f.htm)[16](https://www.kinross.com/English/operations/americas/Manh-Choh-project-Alaska-/default.aspx)

Approximate FY2025 revenue contributions, as shares of consolidated metal sales, were Paracatu 29%, Tasiast 24%, Fort Knox 20%, La Coipa 12%, Bald Mountain 9%, and Round Mountain 7%. These are indicative mine-level shares based on rounded segment revenue figures; the mine figures sum to approximately 100% of reported consolidated metal sales.

## Company history

Kinross Gold was formed in May 1993 through the amalgamation of CMP Resources, Plexus Resources and 1021105 Ontario Corp.; founding leader Bob Buchan was associated with the company from its inception. Its shares began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange that June. [8](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/701818/000110465926035268/kgc-20251231xex99d1.htm)[19](https://www.kinross.com/English/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2018/kinross-celebrates-25-years/default.aspx) Fort Knox, in Alaska, poured its first gold in December 1996 and entered commercial production in 1997. [20](https://www.kinross.com/English/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2022/see-how-kinross-fort-knox-celebrated-their-25-year-anniversary/default.aspx)

The company expanded substantially through a series of combinations and acquisitions. In 2003 it combined with Echo Bay Mines and TVX Gold and acquired Newmont’s interest in their TVX Newmont Americas joint venture; in 2007 it completed its acquisition of Bema Gold. [21](https://www.kinross.com/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2003/Kinross-Becomes-the-New-Senior-North-American-Gold-Producer/default.aspx)[22](https://www.kinross.com/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2007/Kinross-Completes-Acquisition-Of-Bema-Gold-Corporation/default.aspx) In 2008, Kinross announced a combination with Aurelian Resources, bringing the Fruta del Norte project in Ecuador into its portfolio, and recorded first production at the Kupol mine in Russia and from the Paracatu expansion in Brazil. Kinross sold Fruta del Norte in 2014. [23](https://www.kinross.com/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2008/Kinross-announces-friendly-combination-with-Aurelian/default.aspx)[24](https://www.kinross.com/English/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2008/Kupol-produces-first-gold/default.aspx)[25](https://www.kinross.com/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2008/Kinross-announces-record-quarterly-production-and-revenue/default.aspx)[26](https://www.kinross.com/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2014/Kinross-completes-sale-of-Fruta-del-Norte-Project/default.aspx)

In 2010, Kinross completed its combination with Red Back Mining, adding the Tasiast mine in Mauritania to its portfolio. [27](https://www.kinross.com/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2010/Kinross-and-Red-Back-complete-business-combination/default.aspx) J. Paul Rollinson became CEO in 2012, succeeding Tye W. Burt. [28](https://www.kinross.com/English/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2012/Kinross-announces-appointment-of-J-Paul-Rollinson/default.aspx) Kinross acquired Barrick’s remaining 50% interest in the Round Mountain mine in Nevada in 2016, gaining full ownership, and acquired Great Bear Resources and its Dixie project in Ontario in 2022.
