Kinross Gold Corporation (K.TO) announced today that it has arranged a new US$1.0 billion term loan. The three-year term loan will mature on August 10, 2015, and has no mandatory amortization payments.

Kinross also announced today that it has amended its unsecured revolving credit facility. The changes to the facility include an increase of available credit to US$1.5 billion from US$1.2 billion, and an extension of the term to August 10, 2017 from March 31, 2015. The overall improvement in the terms and conditions reflect the company's investment grade ratings, which were obtained after Kinross last refinanced the revolving credit facility on March 31, 2011.

Kinross intends to use the proceeds of the financings for general corporate purposes.

Kinross shares edged off by 3 cents to $8.22 on volumes of over 879,000. Day range is $8.13 - $8.35.
