[1] The property was purchased from Northern Gold; an open pit mine previously operated on the site, producing 250 tonnes per day, six months per year.

After acquisition, Kinross completed diamond drilling on the property, and a feasibility study.

[4] The Dvoinoye mine is expected to operate at the rate of 1000 tonnes of ore per day, which will be processed at Kupol, producing a gold and silver doré.

To handle the additional ore from Dvoinoye, capacity at the mineral processing facility at Kupol was increased by an additional 1000 tonnes per day, yielding a total capacity of 4,500 tonnes per day.

There is an additional 280,000 tonnes in the measured, indicated, and inferred categories, although at a lower grade.
