What Kinross Gold does

Canadian gold mining company operating mines across the Americas and West Africa.

Sells gold at the market price to refiners, so profit turns on the gold price against the cost of each ounce. These are the Toronto-listed shares of the same company that trades in New York. Tasiast in Mauritania and Paracatu in Brazil are among its largest mines, and it sold its Russian mines in 2022.

In one line: Canada's mid-tier global gold producer, peer to Newmont at smaller scale.

What could go right

  • Gold price cycles
  • Production growth from expansion projects

What could go wrong

  • Gold price volatility
  • Political/operational risk in West Africa

Moat: narrow (scale, installed base). Diversified, multi-country portfolio of long-life gold mines reduces single-jurisdiction concentration risk.
