		The Alpha Group and TVX have ongoing litigation which seeks clarification of the 12% carried interest and right to acquire a 12% participating interest in TVX’s Greek assets previously awarded to the Alpha Group. The Alpha Group has brought a motion seeking a mandatory temporary injunction requiring TVX to disclose to the Alpha Group an allocation of the valuation of TVX’s assets pursuant to the proposed business combination involving Kinross Gold Corporation, TVX and Echo Bay Mines Ltd. and to amend its statement of claim relating to the ongoing litigation.

5.		Full Description of Material Change

		The Alpha Group has brought a motion seeking a mandatory temporary injunction requiring TVX to disclose to the Alpha Group an allocation of the valuation of TVX’s assets pursuant to the proposed business combination involving Kinross Gold Corporation, TVX and Echo Bay Mines Ltd. The Alpha Group has alleged that it has a right of first refusal over TVX’s Greek assets and that the right is triggered by the proposed business combination. TVX disputes that there is any right of first refusal and that any such purported right is triggered by the business combination. Following a judgment by the Court of Appeal for Ontario in June 2000, resulting in TVX holding the 12% carried interest and a right to acquire 12% participating interest in TVX’s Greek assets as constructive trustee for the Alpha Group, a new action was commenced in June 2001 by the Alpha Group to clarify the application of such interests, and this motion relates to this ongoing litigation.

		The motion also seeks the permission of the court to amend the statement of claim issued by the Alpha Group in June 2001 relating to the clarification of the application of the 12% carried interest and right to acquire a 12% participating interest in TVX’s Greek assets. The amended claim, among other things, seeks an interim temporary injunction prohibiting TVX from completing the business combination, insofar as it relates to TVX’s Greek assets, pending the exercise by the Alpha Group of its alleged right of first refusal. To date, the Alpha Group has not sought an injunction to restrain the business combination, but may do so if leave to amend the claim is granted by the court.

		The motion on whether an amalgamation would, as a matter of law, trigger rights of first refusal, was heard on January 22, 2003, and the court reserved judgment until January 23, 2003. Depending on the result of this judgment, there may be a further hearing on January 23, 2003.

		TVX believes that any claim by the Alpha Group to rights of first refusal in connection with the business combination is without merit and intends to vigorously defend any action by the Alpha Group that seeks to restrain the business combination.
