Kinross Gold

In October, numerous breast cancer awareness campaigns took place across Kinross’ global operations as part of breast cancer awareness month. In Chirano, the Women’s Club celebrated their fifth anniversary by hosting awareness seminars focused on training women on breast examination best practices and ways to spot abnormalities. In Paracatu and Russia, Kinross hosted awareness and prevention campaigns for the local community, and at Round Mountain, the ‘mammovan’, a mobile mammogram clinic, was available for community members to receive free testing.

The Gilmore project is expected to add approximately 1.5 million gold eq. oz. to life-of-mine production and another decade of economic opportunities in Interior Alaska. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcgpB53nJBg
