Supporting Geospatial Data - Impact Statement

Kinross Gold Corporation has provided electronic geospatial files on April 2, 2026, related to the Great Bear Gold Project. The dataset contains the following packages for maps provided in the Impact Statement. These data files are available to the public under the terms of the Open Government License – Canada.

The geospatial data files are organized into packages corresponding to the relevant chapters and appendices of the Impact Statement. Each package contains the geospatial data files, a data submission document, and a summary spreadsheet detailing the contents of the provided files. Please note that only a non-redundant set of geospatial data files is included; therefore, some files listed in one package's data summary may be located in a different package. To identify the correct package, please refer to the "File Name" column in the associated data summary spreadsheet.
