EXPLANATORY NOTE
This amendment on Form6-K/A is being furnished by Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to amend the Form6-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2018 (the “OriginalForm 6-K”), in order to correct errors contained in the statement of mineral reserves and resources as at December 31, 2017 (the “Reserve and Resource Statement”) included in the 2017Year-End Management’s Discussion and Analysis (the “MD&A”) portions of Exhibit 99.1.
Subsequent to the release of the MD&A, Barrick noted that the Reserve and Resource Statement: (a) overstated reserves at Turquoise Ridge by approximately 61,000 ounces due to the failure to account for depletion in the last quarter of 2017; and (b) overstated reserves, measured and indicated resources, and inferred resources at Goldstrike Underground by approximately 44,000 ounces, 16,000 ounces and 24,000 ounces, respectively, due to a failure to back-out third party interests.
A revised MD&A, including a revised Reserve and Resource Statement, is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and replaces and supersedes the MD&A portions of Exhibit 99.1 of the Original Form6-K appearing on pages 22 to 92. This revised MD&A should be read together with the remainder of Exhibit 99.1 of the OriginalForm 6-K.
