OTTAWA, March 30 (TASS) - The Canadian gold miner Kinross Gold intends to sell 100% of their assets in Russia, the company said in the statement on its website on Wednesday.

"The Company has been developing a transition plan to divest its Russian assets. Kinross has received a number of unsolicited proposals regarding its Russian business, and is now in exclusive negotiations with a third-party mining company regarding a potential sale of 100% of its assets in the country. Any such divesture or change of control would be subject to Russian government approval," the company said.

"Russian subsidiaries are continuing to operate during the transition period," the corporation added.

Kinross Gold is tapping fields in Chukotka, and it also has a project in the Khabarovsk Region.
