SOLID OPERATING PERFORMANCE MAINTAINS PRODUCTION WITHIN GUIDANCE

ALL AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS

Toronto, August 10, 2020 — At the year’s halfway mark, Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) was on track to achieve annual production within its 2020 guidance range, despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the company said today.

Second quarter results show year-to-date gold production of 2.4 million ounces, at the mid-point of its 4.6 million to 5 million ounce annual guidance, driven by strong operating performances, particularly from Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) in the United States, Loulo-Gounkoto in Mali and Kibali in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Barrick’s copper portfolio continued to outperform with Lumwana in Zambia posting its best quarterly production in years.

Operating cash flow exceeded $1 billion for the quarter and free cash flow¹ was $522 million. Net earnings per share was 20 cents. Adjusted net earnings per share2 was 23 cents, up 44% from Q1 and well ahead of the market consensus, debt net of cash was reduced by almost 25% to $1.4 billion from the end of Q1, and the quarterly dividend was increased by 14% to 8 cents per share. The quarterly dividend has more than doubled since the announcement of the merger between Barrick and Randgold in September 2018. The non-core asset disposal strategy, which is ongoing, has so far delivered value of $1.5 billion of which $1.25 billion was in cash.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2020 2 PRESS RELEASE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

President and chief executive Mark Bristow said the strong cash generation demonstrated the quality of Barrick’s assets, management’s ability to capture the full benefit of higher gold prices, effective operational execution and the group’s deft handling of the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact.

“Our flattened and decentralized management structure was a major factor in contending with Covid-19 while at the same time continuing to meet short-term targets and making significant progress towards our strategic objectives. Our major projects, including the expansion of Pueblo Viejo, the Goldrush development and the Turquoise Ridge shaft, remain on track. The only exception was Veladero, where the heap leach and cross-border Chilean power line projects were impacted by the Argentine government’s pandemic quarantine restrictions,” Bristow said.

“We also maintained our strong environmental, social and governance focus during this difficult period. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate decreased by 15.6% quarter on quarter, and we further reduced our carbon emissions and continued to improve our water recycling and reuse performance.”

Dealing with the operations, Bristow said in North America, NGM led by Cortez trended towards the upper end of its guidance as the integrated structure allowed the management team to adjust ore routing through Carlin’s processing facilities

in real time, while at the restructured Hemlo in Canada, exploration was indicating support for extending the Life of Mine beyond 10 years at a production profile of around 220,000 ounces per year.

In the Africa and Middle East region, Loulo-Gounkoto and Kibali were also at the upper end of their guidance. The Tanzanian assets are still being resuscitated but exports of the stockpiled concentrate have resumed and the Bulyanhulu underground operation is being recommissioned. Bristow said between them, North Mara and Bulyanhulu were capable of producing more than 500,000 ounces annually for at least 10 years.¹³

In Latin America, Pueblo Viejo’s production was down as expected due to a planned plant maintenance shutdown, while production and costs at Veladero were impacted by a nationwide quarantine and severe winter weather.

Porgera in Papua New Guinea remains on care and maintenance while the issue of its Special Mining Lease is before the court.

Bristow said during the quarter there had been significant exploration results from Nevada, the Dominican Republic, Mali and Tanzania, and the expectation was to add significant mineral resources at most operations this year.

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND INCREASED BY 14%

Barrick’s Board of Directors has declared a dividend for the second quarter of 2020 of $0.08 per share, a 14% increase on the previous quarter’s dividend, payable on September 15, 2020, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 31, 2020.¹⁴

Senior executive vice-president and chief financial officer Graham Shuttleworth says that Barrick’s quarterly dividend has more than doubled since the announcement of the Barrick-Randgold merger in September 2018, reflecting Barrick’s continued strong financial performance.

“The Board believes that the dividend increase is sustainable and reflects the ongoing robust performance of our operations and continued improvement in the strength of our balance sheet, with total liquidity of $6.7 billion, including a cash balance of $3.7 billion at the end of the second quarter, and no material debt repayments due before 2033,” said Shuttleworth.

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND PER SHARE

The Q2 2020 dividend of $0.08 is a 14% increase on the previous quarter.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2020 3 PRESS RELEASE

STRONG STRUCTURE, PARTNERSHIP CULTURE

DRIVE PROMPT AND EFFECTIVE

PANDEMIC RESPONSE

A fit-for-purpose management structure coupled with its deeply embedded health and welfare commitment enabled Barrick to buffer the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on its business, people and communities as well as to provide vital support to its host governments.

Barrick has provided more than $20 million in support to its host communities, much of it in the form of medical supplies and equipment.

President and chief executive Mark Bristow says the company’s flattened and regionally devolved management formation provided the ideal platform for immediate site-appropriate action and swift engagement with local stakeholders.

“Caring for the wellbeing of our employees and communities is a key characteristic of the Barrick DNA. Our financial strength, well-established prevention practices and procedures, and the experience we gained from dealing with two Ebola pandemics around our African operations stood us in good stead as we faced this new and unprecedented challenge,” he says.

“At all our sites, strict access, screening, sanitation and isolation measures were implemented and through our community engagement channels, we also took the lead in introducing these protocols, supported by education programs, to our neighbours. The provision of rapid antibody testing kits to local clinics and hospitals was particularly valuable in helping them to manage the pandemic’s initial onslaught.”

Barrick’s group sustainability executive, Grant Beringer, says that to date the company has provided more than $20 million in support to its host communities, much of it in the form of medical supplies and equipment. In addition, some of its businesses have prepaid taxes to ease the pandemic’s pressure on their host countries’ economies.

In the Dominican Republic, Pueblo Viejo prepaid $113 million to the tax authorities, bringing its total tax payments to the government to more than $2 billion since 2013. In Mali, the Loulo-Gounkoto complex made an early tax and royalty payment of $20 million and in Côte d’Ivoire, Tongon prepaid $5 million. In Nevada, the state legislature has approved an offer by Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) to prepay net proceeds tax as a Covid-19 relief measure. Under this arrangement, NGM expects to pay $170 million to the state by March 2021. In addition, NGM has

chosen not to take up the option of deferring payroll tax payments amounting to $40 million. Deferral of these payments is allowed under US legislation aimed at supporting businesses through the pandemic.

“We recognize the importance our tax contribution makes to Nevada’s economy and NGM is stepping up to support the state at a time when other businesses there find themselves in financial distress,” says Bristow.

“In Nevada, as elsewhere in our global operations, our aid has not been prompted by self-interested commercial considerations, but by Barrick’s foundational philosophy of partnership, which in this time of crisis has again demonstrated its value to our stakeholders.”

Beringer notes that Barrick operates in 12 countries, each with its own culture and at different stages of economic development. Consequently, aid was tailored to their particular needs in consultation with their governments.

“In Latin America, support has been focused on infrastructural and equipment needs. In Africa, the emphasis has been on improving existing healthcare facilities and capacity. Where financial donations were made, we engaged thoroughly with the governments to identify specific requirements and assisted them in sourcing equipment and supplies. In the DRC, we converted Kibali’s Ebola isolation centre into a 100-patient Covid-19 treatment facility tailored to government guidelines. In North America we sought to stimulate local economies, for example by donating vouchers to employees that are only redeemable at stores and service providers in the local community. NGM has also established a fund to help local businesses impacted by the pandemic,” he says.

“The commitments our sites made to community investment and development prior to the Covid-19 outbreak remain intact and are being fulfilled in conjunction with our pandemic support programs. These include major projects such as the Durba road in the DRC and the shift to local contractors and suppliers in Tanzania.”

At the group level, all Barrick’s significant expansion projects remain on track, with internal teams having been trained to lessen reliance on external contractors. Among these are the solar power programs in West Africa and Nevada, the expansion of Pueblo Viejo in the Dominican Republic, the Bulyanhulu underground project in Tanzania, and the Goldrush and Turquoise Ridge developments in Nevada.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2020 4 PRESS RELEASE

TANZANIA MINES FOCUS ON SOCIAL LICENSE

AND REBUILDING MINING OPERATIONS

When Barrick took over the Acacia assets in Tanzania in September last year, it was faced with a clean-up of Herculean proportions:

◾ Relations between the former management and the government as well as the community had broken down completely.

◾ North Mara had been closed under an environmental protection order.

◾ Bulyanhulu had been overrun by some 20,000 illegal miners and was no longer operating.

◾ The government had frozen all concentrate sales as well as the concentrate containers held under court order at port.

◾ There were hundreds of longstanding grievances, property disputes and accusations of human rights abuses at the mines.

◾ No geological block modelling, mineral resource management or mine planning had been done at the mines.

◾ Survey data was significantly incorrect, and capital allocation as well as executive decision-making were haphazard at best.

The first priority of Africa and Middle East chief operating officer Willem Jacobs and his team was to regain the trust of the government, which they did so successfully that the framework agreement which had been in limbo for years, was swiftly finalized and signed at a ceremony attended by Tanzanian president John Magufuli and Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow. This was followed by the establishment of Twiga Minerals Corporation, a joint venture between Barrick and the government designed to oversee the management of the mines as well as the equal sharing of the economic benefits they create.

Greatly assisted by the Twiga board, Barrick and the affected communities soon agreed on a way forward to settle all the legacy land claims at North Mara.

Barrick’s DNA was infused into Tanzania with the introduction of key staff from its Mali operations, after the change of all but two members of the former management.

Operationally, the team developed and implemented a new tailings and water management plan for North Mara. The mine could then resume production and the ban on doré sales was lifted. Getting to grips with the geology, a new block model that

confirmed the acquisition assumptions and upside, was completed. Ten new exploration permits around North Mara have also been awarded by the government.

A study on restarting the Bulyanhulu mine projected the resumption of underground mining activities at the end of 2020, in line with guidance. Work on the structural integrity of the metallurgical plant commenced upon completion of the Acacia transaction, and refurbishment of the shaft is scheduled to start in August.

Another study to determine extensions at Buzwagi is underway and a local content plan has been submitted to the government.

Mark Bristow says enormous progress has been made in fixing the Tanzanian situation, not least by concentrating on Barrick’s stakeholder engagement and community relations, with a focus on building a real social license at what were badly neglected but world-class assets.

“The foundation has been laid for delivery, and I can see North Mara and Bulyanhulu together eventually ranking as a Tier One¹² complex, with annual production in excess of 500,000 ounces at a cost in the lower half of the industry curve, well beyond 10 years,” he says.

Face masks provided to employees and stakeholders across our Africa and Middle East operations have been sourced from local communities.

CORTEZ LEADS THE WAY IN NEVADA

Cortez continues to produce higher than planned ounces at a lower cost, confirming its status as Nevada Gold Mines’ flagship as well as the leader in the general move from lower grade open pit operations to higher grade underground mining.

Its outperformance is being driven by the underground operation, where improved efficiencies supported mining at higher

production rates. On the back of this performance, the mineral resource management team has stepped up their game to test

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2020 5 PRESS RELEASE

for geological extensions and the potential feeders of the known mineralization which could significantly extend the Life of Mine, enabling it to maintain its Tier One status without the assistance of Goldrush.

During the past quarter, the Goldrush project team was integrated into the Cortez organization. Development of the Goldrush declines is ahead of plan and the transition from contractor to owner operation has been brought forward to 2020. The underground management team is currently developing operational readiness for the acceleration of the project, scheduled to expose first ore in the first half of 2021. Permits are expected in late 2021, paving the way for the start of final construction activities which Greg Walker, executive general manager, explains will further ensure the Cortez operations remains a long life, Tier One complex, one of three such operations in the Nevada Gold Mines portfolio.

In the meantime, Barrick’s nearby Fourmile project, which has not yet been included in the Nevada Gold Mines portfolio, has reported very significant drill results confirming the impressive high-grade of the mineralization as well as its exciting future potential.

EXPLORATION MAINTAINS BARRICK’S

FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

There were significant drill results from all regions during the past quarter.

Despite the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, Barrick’s exploration teams have continued to add to the mineral inventory that is needed to sustain a profitable mining enterprise.

During the past quarter, there were significant drill results from all regions. In Nevada, these included the high-grade intercepts at the Fourmile project, the highest grade ever intercept at North Leeville and the thick intercepts at Deep Post.

At Pueblo Viejo, in Dominican Republic, the first structural model and state-of-the-art geophysics have unlocked a new generation of targets, and at Loulo 3, in Mali, new intersections have confirmed that high-grade mineralization is still open down plunge. Also at Loulo, the high-grade Yalea transfer zone has been extended 480 metres beyond the 2019 block model and is still open down plunge. A greater than one-kilometre-long mineralized trend has been confirmed south of the Gounkoto open pit, also in Mali.

During the quarter, the exploration teams in Africa and the Middle East (AME) as well as Latin America (LATAM) were strengthened with the appointment of senior managers, Aoife

McGrath as vice president exploration for AME and Leandro Sastre as vice president exploration for LATAM.

McGrath has worked with and led exploration teams in Africa, North and South America and Europe, and her experience spans the full spectrum of company size and exploration stages. Named as one of the ‘Global 100 Inspirational Women in Mining’, she has been involved in a number of major discoveries and brings strong commercial skills to her new role.

Sastre was previously mine operations and technical services manager at Veladero. His wide skills base ranges from exploration through ore control to resource modelling. He was closely involved with Exeter’s discovery and delineation of the Caspiche orebody in Chile, now part of our Norte Abierto project, and the Cerro Moro orebody in Argentina, which is now an operating mine.

RECRUITING AND DEVELOPING A NEW

GENERATION OF LEADERS

Janet Camilo (left), the Dominican Republic’s Minister of Women, and Inka Mattila (right), UNDP resident representative, present the Gold Seal of Igualando RD to Juana Barceló (centre), Pueblo Viejo President, at a ceremony lauding the mine’s commitment to and progress in advancing gender equality in the workplace.

Barrick employs more than 20,000 people along with another 21,000 contractors in 12 countries across the world, and its recruitment and development policies are designed to ensure that they can be the best of the best.

The company has a strong tradition of hiring locally for operational as well as management roles. In its Africa and Middle East (AME) region, 76% of management positions are occupied by host country nationals. In North America (NA) that figure is 88% and in Latin America and Asia Pacific (LATAM & AP) it is 51%. Last quarter, only 10 foreign nationals were hired into management positions across all three regions.

To ensure that its people profile is aligned to societal and technological changes, Barrick is also driving the employment of younger candidates as well as women. In the year to date, new hire percentages under 30 years of age were 50% in AME, 46% in NA and 42% in LATAM & AP.

Mining is traditionally a male-dominated industry and Barrick is making a determined effort to recruit more women through targeted campaigns. In NA, 15% of employees are women, and 25% of new hires so far this year were women. In LATAM & AP, where 11% of all positions are held by women, hiring rates were 18% in Q1 and 33% in Q2, reflecting the region’s improving ability to source and employ women candidates. The AME region has cultural obstacles to the employment of women, but there too the position is improving, with new placements up to 10% from a 6% base.

Each region has identified high-potential women for further career development at all levels of the business. Barrick also has partnered with leading universities to customize development programs designed to meet its specific needs.

In NA, 40% of the current participants in Barrick’s Greenfields Talent Program are women, who spend 12 months working in an operational environment, then lead a crew for six months as relief supervisor before taking up their technical positions with

Nevada Gold Mines. The company’s Compass Development Program offers cross-functional modules ranging from geology through production to health and safety. Of the current group of participants in this program, 36% are women. Across AME, Barrick offers apprentice training leading to artisan status, and in NA, Nevada Gold Mines is the leading participant in the maintenance training cooperative program with Great Basin College.

“We want to have the right skills in the right jobs, but we also want to make sure that we have an appropriately diverse workforce, and that by investing in young people, we are building a new generation of leaders to take Barrick into the future,” says president and chief executive Mark Bristow.

PUEBLO VIEJO AWARDED GOLD SEAL FOR GENDER EQUALITY

The Gold Seal is the highest level of a new gender equality certification and it was awarded to Pueblo Viejo (PV) following a meticulous review by the Dominican Institute for Quality (INDOCAL), the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Women and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). At the same time, PV was also awarded the Nordom 775 certification for best practice in gender equality and equity.

The certifications reflect PV’s commitment to equal rights, benefits and opportunities for all employees, regardless of gender, and confirm that its workplace policies align with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and the Dominican Republic’s National Development Strategy with regard to reducing the gender pay gap and advancing women’s representation in leadership positions.

a. Represents the combined results of Cortez, Goldstrike (including our 60% share of South Arturo) and our 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge until June 30, 2019. Commencing July 1, 2019, the date Nevada Gold Mines was established, the results represent our 61.5% interest in Cortez, Carlin (including Goldstrike and 60% of South Arturo), Turquoise Ridge (including Twin Creeks), Phoenix and Long Canyon.

b. These are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For further information and a detailed reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure used to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, please see pages 79 to 103 of our second quarter MD&A.

c. On July 1, 2019, Barrick’s Goldstrike and Newmont’s Carlin were contributed to Nevada Gold Mines and are now referred to as Carlin. As a result, the amounts presented represent Goldstrike on a 100% basis (including our 60% share of South Arturo) up until June 30, 2019, and the combined results of Carlin and Goldstrike (including NGM’s 60% share of South Arturo) on a 61.5% basis thereafter.

d. On July 1, 2019, Cortez was contributed to Nevada Gold Mines, a joint venture with Newmont. As a result, the amounts presented are on an 100% basis up until June 30, 2019, and on a 61.5% basis thereafter.

e. Barrick owned 75% of Turquoise Ridge through to the end of the second quarter of 2019, with our joint venture partner, Newmont, owning the remaining 25%. Turquoise Ridge was proportionately consolidated on the basis that the joint venture partners that have joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. The figures presented in this table are based on our 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge until June 30, 2019. On July 1, 2019, Barrick’s 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge as well as Newmont’s Twin Creeks and 25% interest in Turquoise Ridge were contributed to Nevada Gold Mines. Starting July 1, 2019, the results represent our 61.5% share of Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks, now referred to as Turquoise Ridge.

f. A 61.5% interest in these sites was acquired as a result of the formation of Nevada Gold Mines on July 1, 2019.

g. Formerly known as Acacia Mining plc. On September 17, 2019, Barrick acquired all of the shares of Acacia it did not own. Operating results are included at 100% from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (notwithstanding the completion of the Acacia transaction on September 17, 2019, we consolidated our interest in Acacia and recorded a non-controlling interest of 36.1% in the income statement for the entirety of the third quarter of 2019 as a matter of convenience), and on an 84% basis thereafter as the GoT’s 16% free-carried interest was made effective from January 1, 2020.

h. On November 28, 2019, we completed the sale of our 50% interest in Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited for total cash consideration of $750 million. Accordingly, these represent our 50% interest until November 28, 2019.

i. Excludes Pierina; Lagunas Norte starting in the fourth quarter of 2019; and Golden Sunlight and Morila (40%) starting in the third quarter of 2019 which are producing incidental ounces as they reach the end of their mine lives.

j. Cost of sales per ounce (Barrick’s share) is calculated as cost of sales - gold on an attributable basis (excluding sites in care and maintenance) divided by gold equity ounces sold.

“Free cash flow” is a non-GAAP financial performance measure which deducts capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities. Barrick believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. Free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other companies. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details on this non-GAAP measure are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted net earnings per share” are non-GAAP financial performance measures. Adjusted net earnings excludes the following from net earnings: certain impairment charges (reversals) related to intangibles, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and investments; gains (losses) and other one-time costs relating to acquisitions or dispositions; foreign currency translation gains (losses); significant tax adjustments not related to current period earnings; unrealized gains (losses) on non-hedge derivative instruments; and the tax effect and non-controlling interest of these items. The Company uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. Barrick believes that adjusted net earnings is a useful measure of our performance because these adjusting items do not reflect the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other companies. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details on these non-GAAP measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

a. Net impairment charges for the three month period ended June 30, 2020 relate to miscellaneous assets. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020 and the six month period ended June 30, 2020, net impairment reversals primarily relate to non-current asset reversals at our Tanzanian assets.

b. Acquisition/disposition gains for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 and the six month period ended June 30, 2020 primarily relate to the gain on the sale of Massawa.

c. Significant tax adjustments for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 and the six month period ended June 30, 2020 primarily relate to deferred tax recoveries as a result of tax reform measures in Argentina and adjustments made in recognition of the net settlement of all outstanding disputes with the GoT. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, significant tax adjustments primarily relate to an adjustment to deferred taxes at Veladero. Refer to Note 10 to the Financial Statements for more information.

d. Other expense adjustments for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2020 primarily relate to care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and Covid-19 donations. The six month period ended June 30, 2020 was further impacted by changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, other expense adjustments primarily relate to the impact of changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision and losses on debt extinguishment. Other expense adjustments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 primarily relate to severance costs as a result of the implementation of a number of organizational reductions, the impact of changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision and transaction costs related to Nevada Gold Mines.

e. Tax effect and non-controlling interest for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 primarily relates to the net impairment reversals related to long-lived assets.

f. Calculated using weighted average number of shares outstanding under the basic method of earnings per share.

Endnote 3

“Realized price” is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from sales: unrealized gains and losses on non-hedge derivative contracts; unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on provisional pricing from copper and gold sales contracts; sales attributable to ore purchase arrangements; treatment and refining charges; export duties; and cumulative catch-up adjustments to revenue relating to our streaming arrangements. This measure is intended to enable Management to better understand the price realized in each reporting period for gold and copper sales because unrealized mark-to-market values of non-hedge gold and copper derivatives are subject to change each period due to changes in market factors such as market and forward gold and copper prices, so that prices ultimately realized may differ from those recorded. The exclusion of such unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses from the presentation of this performance measure enables investors to understand performance based on the realized proceeds of selling gold and copper production. The realized price measure is intended to provide additional information and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details on these non-GAAP measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Gold cost of sales (Barrick’s share) is calculated as cost of sales - gold on an attributable basis (excluding sites in care and maintenance) divided by ounces sold.

Endnote 8

“Total cash costs” per ounce, “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce and “All-in costs” per ounce are non-GAAP financial performance measures. “Total cash costs” per ounce starts with cost of sales related to gold production but removes depreciation, the noncontrolling interest of cost of sales, and includes by product credits. “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce begin with “Total cash costs” per ounce and add further costs which reflect the expenditures made to maintain current production levels, primarily sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining leases, general & administrative costs, minesite exploration and

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2020 15 PRESS RELEASE

evaluation costs, and reclamation cost accretion and amortization. “All-in costs” per ounce starts with “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce and adds additional costs that reflect the varying costs of producing gold over the life-cycle of a mine, including: project capital expenditures and other nonsustaining costs. Barrick believes that the use of “total cash costs” per ounce, “all-in sustaining costs” per ounce and “All-in costs” per ounce will assist investors, analysts and other stakeholders in understanding the costs associated with producing gold, understanding the economics of gold mining, assessing our operating performance and also our ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and to generate free cash flow on an overall Company basis. “Total cash costs” per ounce, “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce and “All-in costs” per ounce are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Although a standardized definition of all-in sustaining costs was published in 2013 by the World Gold Council (a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by 25 gold mining companies from around the world, including Barrick), it is not a regulatory organization, and other companies may calculate this measure differently. Starting from the first quarter of 2019, we have renamed “cash costs” to “total cash costs” when referring to our gold operations. The calculation of total cash costs is identical to our previous calculation of cash costs with only a change in the naming convention of this non-GAAP measure. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details on these non-GAAP measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings: income tax expense; finance costs; finance income; and depreciation. Management believes that EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Management uses EBITDA for this purpose. Adjusted EBITDA removes the effect of impairment charges; acquisition/disposition gains/losses; foreign currency translation gains/losses; other expense adjustments; unrealized gains on non-hedge derivative instruments; and the impact of the income tax expense, finance costs, finance income and depreciation incurred in our equity method accounted investments. We believe these items provide a greater level of consistency with the adjusting items included in our Adjusted Net Earnings reconciliation, with the exception that these amounts are adjusted to remove any impact on finance costs/income, income tax expense and/or depreciation as they do not affect EBITDA. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in better understanding our ability to generate liquidity from our full

^a. Finance costs exclude accretion.

^b. Net impairment charges for the three month period ended June 30, 2020 relate to miscellaneous assets. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020 and the six month period ended June 30, 2020, net impairment reversals primarily relate to non-current asset reversals at our Tanzanian assets.

^c. Acquisition/disposition gains for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 and the six month period ended June 30, 2020 primarily relate to the gain on the sale of Massawa.

^d.  Other expense adjustments for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2020 primarily relate to care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and Covid-19 donations. The six month period ended June 30, 2020 was further impacted by changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, other expense adjustments primarily relate to the impact of changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision and losses on debt extinguishment. Other expense adjustments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 primarily relate to severance costs as a result of the implementation of a number of organizational reductions, the impact of changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision and transaction costs related to Nevada Gold Mines.

Due to our hedging activities, which are reflected in these sensitivities, we are partially protected against changes in these

factors.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information

Certain information contained or incorporated by reference in this press release, including any information as to our strategy, projects, plans or future financial or operating performance, constitutes “forward-looking statements”. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “deliver”, “plan”, “objective”, “expected”, “potential”, “strategy”, “will”, “continues”, “ongoing” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, with respect to: Barrick’s forward-looking production guidance and estimates of future costs; Barrick’s non-core asset disposal strategy; potential extensions to life of mine, including at Hemlo; production rates, including potential production from North Mara and Bulyanhulu; Barrick’s response to the government of Papua New Guinea’s decision not to extend Porgera’s Special Mining Lease; the duration of the temporary suspension of operations at Porgera; potential mineralization; potential exploration targets and mineral resource potential, including reserve replenishment; future dividend levels; Barrick’s engagement with local communities to manage the Covid-19 pandemic; future investments in community

projects and contributions to local economies; the new joint venture with the Government of Tanzania; timing of resumption of production at Bulyanhulu; timing of development of the Goldrush declines; and expectations regarding future price assumptions, financial performance and other outlook or guidance.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions including material estimates and assumptions related to the factors set forth below that, while considered reasonable by the Company as at the date of this press release in light of management’s experience and perception of current conditions and expected developments, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements and information. Such factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold, copper or certain other commodities (such as silver, diesel fuel, natural gas and electricity); the speculative nature of mineral exploration

and development; changes in mineral production performance, exploitation and exploration successes; risks associated with projects in the early stages of evaluation and for which additional engineering and other analysis is required; the benefits expected from recent transactions being realized; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technical challenges associated with the construction of capital projects; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities, including geotechnical challenges and disruptions in the maintenance or provision of required infrastructure and information technology systems; failure to comply with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; non-renewal of key licenses by governmental authorities, including non-renewal of Porgera’s Special Mining Lease; timing of receipt of, or failure to comply with, necessary permits and approvals; uncertainty whether some or all of Barrick’s targeted investments and projects will meet the Company’s capital allocation objectives and internal hurdle rate; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; adverse changes in our credit ratings; the impact of inflation; fluctuations in the currency markets; changes in U.S. dollar interest rates; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices, expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States and other jurisdictions in which the Company or its affiliates do or may carry on business in the future; lack of certainty with respect to foreign legal systems, corruption and other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; risks associated with illegal and artisanal mining; risks associated with new diseases, epidemics and pandemics, including the effects and potential effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic; disruption of supply routes which may cause delays in construction and mining activities; damage to the Company’s reputation due to the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, including negative publicity with respect to the Company’s handling of environmental matters or dealings with community groups, whether true or not; the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations; risks that exploration data may be incomplete and considerable additional work may be required to complete further evaluation, including but not limited to drilling, engineering and socioeconomic studies and investment; risk of loss due to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; litigation and legal and administrative proceedings; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, or over access to water, power and other required infrastructure; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures, including our ability to successfully reintegrate Acacia’s operations; risks associated with working with partners in jointly controlled assets; employee relations including loss of key employees; increased costs and physical risks, including extreme weather events and resource shortages, related to climate change; and availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor. Barrick also cautions that its 2020 guidance may be impacted by the unprecedented business

and social disruption caused by the spread of Covid-19. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion, copper cathode or gold or copper concentrate losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks).

Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. All of the forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities for a more detailed discussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements and the risks that may affect Barrick’s ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
