Exhibit 99.2

Important notice regarding the availability of proxy materials for the shareholders’
meeting to be held on May 11, 2022
Kinross Gold Corporation
Notice of 2022 annual meeting of shareholders
and availability of proxy materials

You are receiving this notification since Kinross Gold Corporation (Kinross or the company) uses the notice and access model for the delivery of its management information circular (the circular) in respect of its annual meeting of shareholders (the meeting) to be held on Wednesday, May 11, 2022. Kinross is also providing you with electronic access to its 2021 annual report (annual report) which includes the company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the report of the auditors and the associated management’s discussion and analysis.

Under notice and access, as permitted by the Canadian securities regulators, shareholders receive a form of proxy or voting instruction form but instead of receiving paper copies of the circular and annual report, shareholders receive this notice with information on how they may access the circular and annual report electronically. This means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it helps reduce paper use and reduce the cost of printing and mailing materials to shareholders.

All shareholders are reminded to review the circular before voting.

This notice provides details of the date and time of the meeting, including the matters to be voted on at the meeting. Accompanying this notice is a form of proxy or other voting document that you will need to vote electronically or to vote by proxy.

WHEN: Wednesday, May 11, 2022
10:00 a.m. (Toronto time). WHERE: Virtual-only meeting via live audio webcast online at
https://web.lumiagm.com/468209904
Meeting ID: 468-209-904
Password (case sensitive): kinross2022

You may access the meeting using an internet connected device such as a laptop, computer, tablet or mobile phone, and the meeting platform will be supported across browsers and devices that are running the most updated version of the applicable software plugins. Shareholders with questions regarding the virtual meeting portal or requiring assistance accessing the meeting website may visit the website https://www.lumiglobal.com/faq prior to the meeting. Please note that the virtual meeting platform is not supported on Internet Explorer.

It is important to note that Shareholders will not be able to attend this year’s meeting in person. It is important that you review the detailed information on how shareholders can attend, participate in and vote at the meeting on pages 18 to 25 of the circular. Registered shareholders may access the meeting using the control number on their form of proxy. Non-registered (beneficial) shareholders wishing to participate in and vote at the meeting must first appoint themselves as proxyholders. All proxyholders (including non-registered shareholders who have appointed themselves as proxyholders) must register to attend the meeting prior to the deadline for the deposit of proxies noted below in order to participate and vote at the meeting. If they fail to do so, they may still access the meeting on a dial-in, listen-only mode, but will not be able to participate or vote at the meeting.

Kinross has determined that holding this year’s meeting virtually via a live audio webcast is a prudent step given the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. A virtual meeting will help ensure the health and safety of our shareholders and employees and the communities in which we live. It also affords all of our shareholders an even greater ability to participate in the meeting equally, regardless of their geographic location and share ownership.

Accessing the meeting on a dial-in, listen-only mode

Shareholders and guests from the United States and Canada may also access the meeting on a ‘listen-only’ mode by dialing into the meeting using their telephone. Shareholders and guests who dial-in using their telephone will only be able to listen to the proceedings of the meeting and will not otherwise be able to participate, vote, ask questions or view any visual presentations made at the meeting.

To access the meeting on a listen-only mode from the United States and Canada, please call the toll-free number: 1-844-644-1018.

You are a beneficial (non-registered) shareholder if an intermediary holds your shares on your behalf. This means the shares are registered with Kinross’ transfer agent in your intermediary’s name, and you are the beneficial owner.
