AMAX GOLD INC.
EXHIBIT 1 TO FORM 12B-25
On June 1, 1998, Amax Gold Inc. (the "Company") and Kinross Gold
Corporation ("Kinross") effected a business combination (the "Merger") whereby
Kinross Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kinross, was merged
with and into the Company and the Company became a subsidiary of Kinross.
Subsequent to the consummation of the Merger, Kinross transferred to Kinross
Gold U.S.A., Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kinross ("Kinross U.S.A."),
all of the shares of Amax Gold Common Stock acquired by Kinross in the Merger.
Kinross U.S.A. now owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Amax Gold Common
Stock.
In the period since the consummation of the Merger, the Company, Kinross
and Kinross U.S.A. have undertaken extensive efforts to consolidate the
operations and financial statements of the three companies. Although much of
the consolidation has been completed, and the Company, Kinross and Kinross
U.S.A. have devoted significant resources to complete the reconciliation of
historical financial information of the three companies, the Company does not
yet have the financial information necessary for presentation in the Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended June 30, 1998, which is required to
be filed not later than August 14, 1998. The Company intends to continue its
efforts to complete the consolidation and reconciliation described above in an
effort to complete and file the Form 10-Q.
