Barrick’s North America and Africa and Middle East operations met their production guidance for the year, while in the Latin America and Asia Pacific region, a slower-than-expected ramp up at Pueblo Viejo meant the region delivered slightly below guidance despite a stellar performance from Veladero. Pueblo Viejo is planning further upgrades in 2025 to continue the improvement in throughput and recovery, starting with a planned 35-day shutdown in the first quarter of the year.

“During the fourth quarter, we made steady progress in ramping up operations at Pueblo Viejo, improving recovery, despite lower production on the back of a slight decrease in grade. At Veladero and Nevada Gold Mines, we boosted production and we closed the gaps at Kibali while strengthening the management team there. Additionally, we completed two major feasibility studies to advance the transformational Lumwana and Reko Diq projects, and also significantly increased our reserves and resources,” said Bristow.

Barrick continued its strong track record of reserve additions, growing attributable proven and probable gold mineral reserves by 17.4 million ounces¹⁸ (23%) before 2024 depletion. Attributable proven and probable gold mineral reserves now stand at 89 million ounces at 0.99g/t¹⁹, increasing from 77 million ounces at 1.65g/t²⁰ in 2023. Copper mineral reserves grew by 224% year-on-year on an

attributable basis, at more than 13% higher grade, to 18 million tonnes of copper at 0.45%¹⁹, from 5.6 million tonnes of copper at 0.39% in 2023.²⁰ This resulted from the completion of the Lumwana and Reko Diq feasibility studies — affirming both projects as potential Tier One²¹ copper assets. Additionally, the wholly-owned Fourmile project is advancing to prefeasibility following a successful 2024 drilling program.

For 2025, attributable gold production is expected to be in the range of 3.15–3.5 million ounces, excluding production from Loulo-Gounkoto while it is temporarily suspended. Attributable copper production for 2025 is projected to increase from 195,000 tonnes in 2024 to 200,000–230,000 tonnes, driven by increased production at Lumwana.

Bristow said Barrick remains open to a constructive engagement with the Malian government and he continues to believe that a mutually beneficial solution can be found.

“While ongoing issues in Mali remain an investor concern, which have overly weighed on the share price, Barrick’s fundamental value proposition has never been stronger. As such, we have capitalized on the undervaluation of our shares by increasing our repurchases, and we have renewed our $1 billion share buyback program for the upcoming year,” said Bristow.

“Our ability to self-fund our growth pipeline is a major strength and, unlike many of our peers, we won’t need costly mergers and acquisitions or to issue additional equity to grow production. Our focus on a quality Tier One²¹ asset portfolio, continuous talent development, growth potential, robust balance sheet and unparalleled track record in replacing the reserves we mine, are the key reasons why we should be the go-to stock,” he said.

Barrick Reports Share Repurchases and Declares Q4 Dividend

Barrick today announced the declaration of a dividend of $0.10 per share for the fourth quarter of 2024. The dividend is consistent with the Company’s Performance Dividend Policy announced at the start of 2022.

The Q4 2024 dividend will be paid on March 17, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2025.

In addition to the quarterly dividends, Barrick repurchased 28.675 million shares during the year under the share buyback program that was announced in February 2024, including 21 million shares during Q4 2024.

“The strong performance of our business has allowed us to provide significant returns to shareholders in 2024 through the combination of dividends and share buybacks, especially in the fourth quarter, at a compelling valuation. At the same time, Barrick continues to maintain one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry ensuring adequate liquidity to invest in our significant growth projects,” said senior executive vice-president and chief financial officer Graham Shuttleworth.

BARRICK YEAR-END 2024 4 PRESS RELEASE

Barrick Announces New Share Buyback Program

Barrick announced today that it plans to undertake a new share repurchase program for the buyback of its common shares.

Barrick’s Board of Directors has authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s outstanding common shares over the next 12 months at prevailing market prices in accordance with applicable law. In connection with the new share repurchase program, Barrick has terminated the share repurchase program announced by the Company on February 14, 2024. The Company repurchased $498 million in common shares under its 2024 share repurchase program.

Under the program, repurchases can be made from time to time through published markets in the United States such as the New York Stock Exchange using a variety of methods, including open market purchases, as well as by any other means permitted under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements.

Barrick believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares trade at prices that may not adequately reflect their underlying value. The actual number of shares that may be purchased, if any, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by Barrick based on a number of factors, including the Company’s financial performance, the availability of cash flows, and the consideration of other uses of cash, including capital investment opportunities, returns to shareholders, and debt reduction.

The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of common shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

For 2025, Barrick’s attributable gold production is expected to be in the range of 3.15–3.5 million ounces, excluding production from Loulo-Gounkoto while it is temporarily suspended. Attributable copper production for 2025 is projected to increase from 195,000 tonnes in 2024 to 200,000–230,000 tonnes, driven by increased production at Lumwana.

Barrick Grows Gold and Copper Reserves Significantly,

Setting It Apart From Its Peers as It Positions for Growth

Barrick grew attributable proven and probable gold mineral reserves by 17.4 million ounces¹⁸ (23%) before 2024 depletion. Attributable proven and probable mineral reserves now stand at 89 million ounces at 0.99g/t¹⁹, increasing from 77 million ounces at 1.65g/t²⁰ in 2023.

The year-on-year change was led by the conversion of Reko Diq resources to mineral reserves, adding 13 million ounces of gold at 0.28g/t¹⁹ on an attributable basis, following the completion of the feasibility study. Significantly, before the addition of Reko Diq, Barrick delivered a fourth consecutive

year of replacing annual depletion at a 4% higher grade, continuing to demonstrate the results of an unremitting focus on asset quality and further extending the life of our existing operations.

BARRICK YEAR-END 2024 5 PRESS RELEASE

Since the end of 2019, Barrick has replaced more than 180%¹⁸ of the company’s depleted gold reserves, adding almost 46 million ounces¹⁸ of attributable proven and probable reserves (77 million ounces¹⁸ of proven and probable reserves on a 100% basis) across Barrick-managed assets.

Attributable measured and indicated gold resources for 2024 remain consistent, at 180 million ounces at 1.06g/t¹⁹, with a further 41 million ounces at 0.9g/t¹⁹ of inferred resources, up 5% from 2023.

At the same time, copper mineral reserves grew by 224% year-on-year on an attributable basis, at more than 13% higher grade to 18 million tonnes of copper at 0.45%¹⁹, from 5.6 million tonnes of copper at 0.39% in 2023.²⁰ This resulted from the completion of the Lumwana and Reko Diq feasibility studies affirming both projects as Tier One²¹ Copper Assets. The Lumwana Super Pit Expansion feasibility study added 5.5Mt of Cu reserves to the project, resulting in proven and probable copper reserves of 8.3 million tonnes of copper at 0.52%.¹⁹ The Reko Diq feasibility study added 7.3 million tonnes of copper at 0.48%⁶ to attributable copper reserves. This represents an addition of more than 20 million tonnes¹⁹ of proven and probable copper reserves on a 100% basis since 2023.

Attributable measured and indicated copper resources for 2024 stand at 24 million tonnes¹⁹ of copper at 0.39%, with a further 3.9Mt¹⁹ of copper at 0.3% of inferred resources, reflecting the conversion and upgrade of copper mineral resources at Lumwana.

For 2024, mineral reserves are based on an updated gold price assumption of $1,400/oz²² and a consistent copper price of $3.00/lb.²² Mineral resources are reported inclusive of reserves and for 2024 are based on an updated gold price of $1,900/oz²² and a consistent copper price of $4.00/lb.²²

President and chief executive Mark Bristow said Barrick’s strategy of investing in organic growth through exploration and mineral resource management has set the group apart from its peers within the industry, positioning Barrick as a champion for value creation as we continue to grow our production profile organically.

“In order for our industry to help build a better world, we have to invest in our own future, with transformational projects like the Lumwana Super Pit and Pueblo Viejo expansions, Reko Diq and Fourmile. Barrick’s vision for these projects extends beyond mining, ensuring the benefits of these investments provide multi-generational benefits to our host countries and local communities through the development of local service provider partnerships and investment in the sustainability of our operating environments,” said Bristow.

Mineral Resource Management and Evaluation Executive Simon Bottoms said that since the end of 2019, Barrick has successfully added 111 million ounces¹⁸ of attributable gold equivalent reserves at a cost of approximately $10 per ounce²³, demonstrating the value proposition of our strategy.

“The company’s reserve prices of $1,400/oz for gold²² and $3.00/lb for copper²² are designed to extract the optimum

value from our geologically defined orebodies whilst delivering the highest value, demonstrating the quality differentiation of our Tier One²¹ assets. This approach is complemented by our reserve replacement strategy, where we aim to add value by delineating ore body extensions and satellites at our long-term reserve prices rather than diluting the quality of our reserves through lifting reserve prices beyond the relative levels of cost inflation,” said Bottoms.

Gold mineral reserves in the Africa & Middle East region, after annual depletion, grew to 19 million ounces at 3.35g/t¹⁹ in 2024 from 18.8 million ounces at 3.24g/t²⁰ in 2023. This was predominantly driven by both Bulyanhulu and Loulo-Gounkoto, with extensions of the high-grade Reef 2 and Yalea underground orebodies respectively, combined with growth of the Faraba open pit. Overall, this delivered a 2.3 million ounce¹⁹ increase in attributable proven and probable reserves across the region, before depletion. North Mara also contributed to the strong results through the extension of the Gokona underground and Gena open pit. At Kibali, the ongoing conversion drilling in the 9000 and 11000 lodes in KCD underground replaced 98% of depletion, with ongoing development to establish further underground drill platforms for 2025.

The Latin America & Asia Pacific region, led by Pueblo Viejo, replaced 115% of the regional 2024 gold reserve depletion before the addition of Reko Diq, which added 0.78 million ounces¹⁹ to attributable proven and probable reserves before depletion as a result of additional pit design pushbacks unlocked by the additional TSF capacity in the new Naranjo facility. Porgera grew attributable gold reserves by 22% year-on-year with the successful conversion of the open pit Link cutback adjacent to the West Wall cutback.

In North America, the ongoing growth programs at Turquoise Ridge, Leeville Underground in Carlin and the Reona cut-back in Phoenix, added 1.54 million ounces¹⁹ of gold to proven and probable reserves on an attributable basis before annual depletion, which were partially offset by reductions in Cortez driven by metallurgical model updates in Crossroads and Robertson. This resulted in attributable proven and probable mineral reserves for the region of 30 million ounces at 2.71g/t¹⁹, representing a more than 10% increase in the grade year-over-year (2.45g/t in 2023) as a result of the high-grade growth additions and reductions of low-grade at Cortez. At the same time, attributable gold measured and indicated mineral resources for the region now stands at 66 million ounces at 2.18g/t¹⁹, due to the removal of Long Canyon mineral resources, as the site is planned to progress into full closure during 2025. Meanwhile, attributable inferred gold mineral resources for the region grew to 21 million ounces at 3.3 g/t¹⁹, driven by Fourmile’s mineral resource²⁴ growth in the southernmost portion of the orebody immediately adjacent to the existing Goldrush mine. Looking forward to 2025, Barrick plans to commence prefeasibility-study drilling at the end of the first quarter of 2025 which will target continued extension of the mineral resource along strike to the north, while also completing the foundational studies for the planned Bullion Hill northern access portal.

BARRICK YEAR-END 2024 6 PRESS RELEASE

The expansion project at Lumwana in Zambia will substantially increase the mine’s production capacity, extending its operational life by 17 years to 2057.

Transforming Lumwana Into a Top 25 Copper Producer

Barrick has completed a comprehensive feasibility study for the Super Pit Expansion at Lumwana in Zambia²⁵, transforming the mine into a long-life, high yielding, Top 25 copper producer and Tier One²¹ copper mine, capable of contending with the volatility of the copper demand cycles.

The expansion will substantially increase the mine’s production capacity, extending its operational life by 17 years to 2057, and doubling the capacity of the processing plant from 27 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) to a peak design of 54Mtpa — achieving an average copper output of 240,000 tonnes annually over the life of the mine, from a planned 52Mtpa process feed. Based on the feasibility study, the total project capital cost is estimated to be $2 billion.

Construction is set to begin in 2025, with the project promising substantial improvements in operational efficiency. The expansion has significantly grown Lumwana’s mineral reserves, increasing proven and probable copper reserves from 510 million tonnes at 0.58% for 3.0 million tonnes of contained copper as of year-end 2023 to 1,600 million tonnes at 0.52% for 8.3 million tonnes of contained copper as of year-end 2024.⁷ Notably, this expansion will replace the total copper produced by Lumwana since 2009 by over 400%.²⁵

The project involves key infrastructure developments, including the expansion of existing mining operations at Chimiwungo and Malundwe, the opening of two new open pits at Kamisengo and Kababisa, and a substantial increase in mining capacity to 200Mtpa in 2026 and 300Mtpa in 2030. By 2039, the mine is projected to reach a maximum peak mining capacity of 350Mtpa, positioning Lumwana as the largest mine in Africa by total tonnes moved.

Technological advancements are central to the expansion, with plans to introduce high-level automation and modern

process control systems. The parallel process circuit will enable substantial productivity improvements and reduced operating costs. A new pit-rim crusher and conveyor system will optimize hauling efficiency, cutting current ultra-class trucking haul cycles by at least 15%. The tailings storage facility will see a capacity increase from 360 million tonnes to two billion tonnes.

The expansion capitalizes on copper fundamentals and delivers a financially robust low capital intensity mine, with a projected cumulative operating cash flow of $36 billion and free cash flow of $15.2 billion⁵ over the mine’s life, based on a three-year trailing copper price of $4.03 per pound.²⁵ The project will be self-funded by Barrick and current Lumwana operations, paying back the initial expansion capital in approximately two years after completion of the expansion at $4.03 per pound.

Environmental and social responsibility are key considerations of the project. Barrick has secured all necessary mining licenses over the entire project area and completed an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, which was approved in November 2024. Additional permits are on schedule to be approved prior to construction. The Company is also investing up to $2 million through a REDD+ Project to offset environmental impacts, partnering with local chiefdoms and the Zambian government to conserve approximately 215,000 hectares of forest.

BARRICK YEAR-END 2024 7 PRESS RELEASE

Updated Feasibility Study Demonstrates

Reko Diq’s Transformative Potential

Barrick has completed the updated feasibility study for the Reko Diq project²⁶, marking a significant milestone in the development of one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits. Reko Diq will be a major contributor to Pakistan’s economy which is expected to have a transformative impact on the Balochistan province.

Barrick’s share of the project represents 50%, with 25% held by three Pakistani state-owned enterprises and 25% held by the Government of Balochistan, of which 15% is on a fully funded basis and 10% is on a free carried basis.

The updated feasibility study outlines a 37-year mine life with a total estimated capital investment on a 100% basis of $8.83 billion, to be divided into two phases, with Phase 1 having an estimated total capital cost of $5.6-$6.0 billion (100% basis, exclusive of financing costs). On February 11, 2025, the Board of Directors conditionally approved the development of Phase 1 subject to the closing of up to $3 billion of limited recourse project financing. Assuming $3 billion of project financing, Barrick’s share of the total partner equity contribution required for the development of Phase 1 is expected to be $1.8-$2.0 billion.

Early works construction commenced during the first quarter of 2025, with first production anticipated by the end of 2028. The project will leverage five of the fifteen identified porphyry surface expressions within the current mining lease, highlighting substantial future growth potential.

Under the updated feasibility study, Phase 1 is planned to see 45 million tonnes of mill feed processed annually (Mtpa), ramping up to 240,000 tonnes of copper and 297,000 ounces of gold (on a 100% basis).²⁶ By 2034, Phase 2 will expand operations to 90Mtpa, increasing annual production to an average of 460,000 tonnes of copper and 520,000 ounces of gold for the first ten years (2034-2043).²⁶ 2044 will see the peak mining rate of 250Mtpa and a life-of-mine strip ratio of 1.07.²⁶

Probable mineral reserves, on a 100% basis, are 3,000 million tonnes at 0.48% representing 15 million tonnes of copper and 2,900 million tonnes at 0.28g/t representing 26 million ounces of gold.⁶ The mining operation will utilize electric rope shovels, diesel hydraulic excavators and 360-tonne ultra class haul trucks. The processing plant consists of a three-stage crushing circuit, ball milling and conventional flotation.

Saline groundwater, located approximately 300-750 meters below the surface, that is not suitable for drinking or irrigation is planned as the primary water supply sourced from a nearby aquifer, with power produced through a combination of heavy fuel oil generators, solar systems and battery storage. Future integration into Pakistan’s national grid is planned for Phase 2.

An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) was completed in December 2024 and submitted to the relevant government authorities, with approval expected during Q1 2025. Throughout the ESIA process, continuous engagement with local communities and other key stakeholders was undertaken to ensure that their concerns were considered.

Based on a three-year trailing average copper price of $4.03 per pound and gold price of $2,045 per ounce, Barrick estimates the project will deliver an internal rate of return of 21.32%, generating $90 billion in operating cash flow and $70 billion in free cash flow⁵ (on a 100% basis) over the life of mine and generating $54 billion of revenue within Pakistan.

Reko Diq is the largest foreign direct investment project in Balochistan and one of the largest in Pakistan.

BARRICK YEAR-END 2024 8 PRESS RELEASE

Barrick Advances Fourmile Project in Nevada

The results of Barrick’s 2024 drilling program at the wholly owned Fourmile project in Nevada, have been incorporated into a preliminary economic assessment, highlighting an impressive resource base and promising economic indicators that position Fourmile as a world-class gold deposit.

The 2024 mineral resource update expanded the project’s mineral resources, across the southernmost portion of the orebody, immediately adjacent to the existing Goldrush mine, resulting in a 192% increase in indicated resources (to 1.4 million ounces grading 11.76 g/t), a 137% increase in inferred resources (to 6.4 million ounces at 14.1 g/t) and a 35% increase in grade relative to Barrick’s 2023 year-end mineral resource estimate.^24,27

President and chief executive Mark Bristow, stated that the Fourmile project is a truly world-class asset which can only really be compared to the original Goldstrike deposit that was the foundational asset of Barrick and is now part of Carlin within the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture.

“The current resource represents approximately one-third of the total orebody defined by drilling to date, supporting substantial growth potential, with increasing grades as drilling progresses northward,” said Bristow.

Economic projections for Fourmile are equally compelling, whereby the preliminary economic assessment demonstrates Fourmile’s potential to become a Tier One mine²¹ at comparable annual mining rates and costs to the current Goldrush mine plan.²⁴ These results have encouraged Barrick to advance the project through a three-year pre-feasibility-study program.

Barrick’s Mineral Resource Management and Evaluation Executive Simon Bottoms stated, “Geotechnical drilling and ongoing hydrological measurements have confirmed more favourable ground conditions with lower permeability than other typical Carlin-style deposits. This has the potential to reduce the dewatering requirements during mine development and allows for stope heights to be increased up to 25m high compared to 15m within the neighboring Goldrush mine.”

“Metallurgical test work has demonstrated compatibility with existing facilities, offering processing flexibility through both autoclave and roaster facilities. The initial mine design incorporates three semi-independent production zones, providing operational flexibility and potential for increased production rates,” said Bottoms.

Looking ahead, Barrick plans to commence pre-feasibility-study drilling at the end of the first quarter of 2025, which will provide the foundational study data to underpin the planned Bullion Hill northern access portal.

The upcoming studies will also explore materials handling options and investigate the synergies Fourmile could bring to both the existing Goldrush mine and associated processing facilities.

Ma’aden Barrick Copper Company Advances

Female Employment in Saudi Mining

In August 2020, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Cabinet approved landmark amendments to the Labor Law, repealing Articles 149 and 150, which previously restricted women from working in hazardous occupations or during night shifts.

A new clause was introduced to guarantee women equal access to job opportunities as men, provided the roles are not hazardous to their health.

This progressive step aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, a national initiative to empower women across all sectors, including mining. The Ma’aden Barrick Copper Company (MBCC), a 50/50 joint venture between Barrick and Ma’aden, exemplifies this vision by opening doors for women in the traditionally male-dominated mining industry.

Starting in 2022, MBCC began employing women in various roles, including accounting, human resources, procurement, geology, supply chain management, logistics and compliance. By the beginning of 2025, MBCC had more than doubled the number of female employees, rising from eight in 2022 to 17 — a testament to Barrick’s commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce.

MBCC became the first mine in Saudi Arabia to recruit women to work in remote areas for operational roles. Women now

actively contribute to the company’s operations, taking on positions such as project coordinators and chemists in the process lab. Additionally, MBCC has trained 15 women across multiple disciplines, including as instrument and planning engineers in the maintenance department, and as chemists in the process plant.

Barrick’s efforts extend beyond hiring to developing future talent. The Company collaborates with local universities and colleges to provide tailored training opportunities, empowering women to excel in roles critical to the mining sector.

This progress not only supports Saudi Arabia’s national goals but also highlights Barrick’s dedication to creating a diverse, equitable and forward-thinking workplace. By integrating talented women into their operations, MBCC and Barrick are setting a new standard for the mining industry in Saudi Arabia and beyond.

a. These results represent our 61.5% interest in Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Phoenix and Long Canyon until it transitioned to care and maintenance at the end of 2023, as previously reported.

b. Further information on these non-GAAP financial measures, including detailed reconciliations, is included on pages 59 to 75 of Barrick’s Q4 2024 MD&A.

c. Includes Goldrush.

d. Starting in Q1 2024, we have ceased to include production or non-GAAP cost metrics for Long Canyon as it was placed on care and maintenance at the end of 2023, as previously reported.

e. As Porgera was placed on care and maintenance from April 25, 2020 until December 22, 2023, no operating data or per ounce data has been provided from Q3 2020 to Q4 2023. On December 22, 2023, we completed the Commencement Agreement, pursuant to which the PNG government and BNL, the 95% owner and operator of the Porgera joint venture, agreed on a partnership for the future ownership and operation of the mine. Ownership of Porgera is held in a joint venture owned 51% by PNG stakeholders and 49% by a Barrick affiliate, PJL. PJL is jointly owned on a 50/50 basis by Barrick and Zijin Mining Group and therefore Barrick now holds a 24.5% ownership interest in the Porgera joint venture. Barrick holds a 23.5% interest in the economic benefits of the mine under the economic benefit sharing arrangement agreed with the PNG government whereby Barrick and Zijin Mining Group together share 47% of the overall economic benefits derived from the mine accumulated over time, and the PNG stakeholders share the remaining 53%.

f. Excludes Pierina, which is producing incidental ounces while in closure.

g. Gold cost of sales per ounce is calculated as cost of sales across our gold operations (excluding sites in closure or care and maintenance) divided by ounces sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick’s ownership share).

a. Starting in 2024, we have presented our copper production and sales quantities in tonnes rather than pounds (1 tonne is equivalent to 2,204.6 pounds). Production and sales amounts for prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes. Our copper cost metrics are still reported on a per pound basis.

b. Further information on these non-GAAP financial measures, including detailed reconciliations, is included on pages 59 to 75 of Barrick’s Q4 2024 MD&A.

c. Copper cost of sales per pound is calculated as cost of sales across our copper operations divided by pounds sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick’s ownership share).

Technical Information

The scientific and technical information contained in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Craig Fiddes, SME-RM, Lead, Resource Modeling, Nevada Gold Mines; Richard Peattie, MPhil, FAusIMM, Mineral Resources Manager: Africa and Middle East; Peter Jones, MAIG, Manager Resource Geology – Latin America & Asia Pacific; Simon Bottoms, CGeol, MGeol, FGS, FAusIMM, Mineral Resource Management and Evaluation Executive; and Joel Holliday, FAusIMM, Executive Vice-President, Exploration – each a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

All mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are estimated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Unless otherwise noted, such mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are as of December 31, 2024.

Endnotes

Endnote 1

Gold cost of sales per ounce is calculated as cost of sales across our gold operations (excluding sites in closure or care and maintenance) divided by ounces sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick’s ownership share).

Endnote 2

“Total cash costs” per ounce and “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce are non-GAAP financial performance measures which are calculated based on the definition published by the World Gold Council (a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by gold mining companies from around the world, including Barrick, the “WGC”). The WGC is not a regulatory organization. Management uses these measures to monitor the performance of our gold mining operations and their ability to generate positive cash flow, both on an individual site basis and an overall company basis. “Total cash costs” per ounce start with our cost of sales related to gold production and removes depreciation, the noncontrolling interest of cost of sales and includes by-product credits. “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce start with “Total cash costs” per ounce and includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining leases, general and administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs and reclamation cost accretion and amortization. These additional costs reflect the expenditures made to maintain current production levels. These definitions recognize that there are different costs associated with the life-cycle of a mine, and that it is therefore appropriate to distinguish between sustaining and non-sustaining costs. Barrick believes that the use of “Total cash costs” per ounce and “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick 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 and “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce are intended to provide additional information only and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not equivalent to net income or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Although the WGC has published a standardized definition, other companies may calculate these measures differently. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

a. Non-recurring items - These costs are not indicative of our cost of production and have been excluded from the calculation of total cash costs. Non- recurring items for 2022 relate to a net realizable value impairment of leach pad inventory at Veladero.

b. Other - Other adjustments for Q4 2024 and 2024 include the removal of total cash costs and by-product credits associated with Pierina of $nil and $nil, respectively (Q3 2024: $nil; 2023: $3 million; 2022: $24 million), which was producing incidental ounces until December 31, 2023 while in closure.

c. Non-controlling interests - Non-controlling interests include non-controlling interests related to gold production of $559 million and $2,189 million, respectively, for Q4 2024 and 2024; (Q3 2024: $556 million; 2023: $2,192 million; 2022: $2,032 million). Non-controlling interests include NGM, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Tongon, North Mara and Bulyanhulu. Refer to note 5 to the Financial Statements for further information.

d. Exploration and evaluation costs - Exploration, evaluation and project expenses are presented as minesite if it supports current mine operations and project if it relates to future projects. Refer to page 51 of Barrick’s Q4 2024 MD&A.

e. Capital expenditures - Capital expenditures are related to our gold sites only and are split between minesite sustaining and project capital expenditures.

f. Rehabilitation - accretion and amortization - Includes depreciation on the assets related to rehabilitation provisions of our gold operations and accretion on the rehabilitation provisions of our gold operations, split between operating and non-operating sites.

g. Non-controlling interest and copper operations - Removes general & administrative costs related to non-controlling interests and copper based on a percentage allocation of revenue. Also removes exploration, evaluation and project expenses, rehabilitation costs and capital expenditures incurred by our copper sites and the non-controlling interests of NGM, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Tongon, North Mara and Bulyanhulu operating segments. It also includes capital expenditures applicable to our equity method investments in Kibali and Porgera. Figures remove the impact of Pierina up until December 31, 2023. The impact is summarized as the following:

h. Ounces sold - attributable basis - Excludes Pierina, which was producing incidental ounces until December 31, 2023 while in closure. It also excludes Long Canyon which is producing residual ounces from the leach pad while in care and maintenance.

i. Cost of sales per ounce - Figures remove the cost of sales impact of Pierina of $nil and $nil, respectively, for Q4 2024 and 2024 (Q3 2024: $nil; 2023: $3 million; 2022: $24 million), which was producing incidental ounces up until December 31, 2023 while in closure. Gold cost of sales per ounce is calculated as cost of sales across our gold operations (excluding sites in closure or care and maintenance) divided by ounces sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick’s ownership share).

j. Per ounce figures - Cost of sales per ounce, cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs per ounce per ounce may not calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding.

k. Co-product costs per ounce

Cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs per ounce per ounce presented on a co-product basis remove the impact of by-product credits of our gold production (net of non-controlling interest) calculated as:

“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted net earnings per share” are non-GAAP financial performance measures. Adjusted net earnings excludes the following from net earnings: impairment charges (reversals) related to intangibles, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and investments; acquisition/disposition gains/losses; foreign currency translation gains/losses; significant tax adjustments; other items that are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of our core mining business; and tax effect and non-controlling interest of the above items. Management 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. Management believes that adjusted net earnings is a useful measure of our performance because impairment charges, acquisition/disposition gains/losses and significant tax adjustments 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 does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

^a.  Net impairment (reversals) charges for Q4 2024 and 2024 mainly relate to long-lived asset impairment reversals at Lumwana and Veladero, partially offset by a goodwill impairment at Loulo-Gounkoto. Net impairment charges for 2023 mainly relate to a long-lived asset impairment at Long Canyon. For 2022, net impairment charges primarily relate to a goodwill impairment at Loulo-Gounkoto, and non-current asset impairments at Veladero and Long Canyon, partially offset by an impairment reversal at Reko Diq.

^b.  Acquisition/disposition gains for Q4 2024 and 2024 relate to miscellaneous assets. For 2023, acquisition/disposition gains primarily relate to a gain on the reopening of the Porgera mine. For 2022, acquisition/disposition gains primarily relate to a gain as Barrick’s interest in the Reko Diq project increased from 37.5% to 50%, as well as the sale of two royalty portfolios.

^c.  Significant tax adjustments in 2024 and 2023 primarily relate to the resolution of uncertain tax positions; the impact of prior year adjustments; the impact of nondeductible foreign exchange losses; and the recognition and derecognition of deferred tax assets.

^d.  Other expense adjustments for Q4 2024 and 2024 mainly relate to a payment to the Government of Mali to advance negotiations and a customs and royalty settlement at Tongon. 2024 was further impacted by the interest and penalties recognized following the proposed settlement of the Zaldívar Tax Assessments in Chile, which was recorded in Q2 2024, a provision made relating to a legacy mine site operated by Homestake Mining Company that was closed prior to the 2001 acquisition by Barrick, and an accrual relating to the road construction in Tanzania per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership. For 2023, other expense adjustments mainly relate to changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision, care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and the $30 million commitment we made towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania. For 2022, other expense adjustments mainly relate to a net realizable value impairment of leach pad inventory at Veladero, care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and supplies obsolescence write-off at Bulyanhulu and North Mara.

^e.  Non-controlling interest and tax effect for 2024 primarily relates to impairment (reversals) charges related to non-current assets.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance 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; and other expense adjustments. We also remove 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 business, including equity method investments, by excluding these amounts from the calculation as they are not indicative of the performance of our core mining business and not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the periods presented. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in better understanding our ability to generate liquidity from our attributable business and which is aligned with how we present our forward looking guidance on gold ounces and copper pounds produced. Attributable EBITDA margin is calculated as attributable EBITDA divided by revenues - as adjusted. We believe this ratio will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick to better understand the relationship between revenues and EBITDA or operating profit. Starting with the Q2 2024 MD&A, we are presenting net leverage as a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as debt, net of cash divided by the sum of adjusted EBITDA of the last four consecutive quarters. We believe this ratio will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in monitoring our leverage and evaluating our balance sheet. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, attributable EBITDA, EBITDA margin and net leverage are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do 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. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and attributable EBITDA exclude the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, attributable EBITDA, EBITDA margin and net leverage differently. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

“Realized price” is a non-GAAP financial performance measure which excludes from sales: treatment and refining charges; and cumulative catch-up adjustment to revenue relating to our streaming arrangements. We believe this provides investors and analysts with a more accurate measure with which to compare to market gold and copper prices and to assess our gold and copper sales performance. For those reasons, management believes that this measure provides a more accurate reflection of our company’s past performance and is a better indicator of its expected performance in future periods. 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. The measure is not necessarily indicative of sales as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.

These amounts are presented on the same basis as our guidance. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures and project capital expenditures are non-GAAP financial measures. Capital expenditures are classified into minesite sustaining capital expenditures or project capital expenditures depending on the nature of the expenditure. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures is the capital spending required to support current production levels. Project capital expenditures represent the capital spending at new projects and major, discrete projects at existing operations intended to increase net present value through higher production or longer mine life. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of the purpose of capital expenditures and this distinction is an input into the calculation of all-in sustaining costs per ounce. Classifying capital expenditures is intended to provide additional information only 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. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial performance measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Starting in 2024, we have presented our copper production and sales quantities in tonnes rather than pounds (1 tonne is equivalent to 2,204.6 pounds). Production and sales amounts for prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes. Our copper cost metrics are still reported on a per pound basis.

Copper cost of sales per pound is calculated as cost of sales across our copper operations divided by pounds sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick’s ownership share).

Endnote 17

“C1 cash costs” per pound and “All-in sustaining costs” per pound are non-GAAP financial performance measures related to our copper mine operations. We believe that “C1 cash costs” per pound enables investors to better understand the performance of our copper operations in comparison to other copper producers who present results on a similar basis. “C1 cash costs” per pound excludes royalties and non-routine charges as they are not direct production costs. “All-in sustaining costs” per pound is similar to the gold all-in sustaining costs metric and management uses this to better evaluate the costs of copper production. We believe this measure enables investors to better understand the operating performance of our copper mines as this measure reflects all of the sustaining expenditures incurred in order to produce copper. “All-in sustaining costs” per pound includes C1 cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining leases, general and administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs, royalties, reclamation cost accretion and amortization and writedowns taken on inventory to net realizable value. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

i. Except at Tongon and Hemlo Open Pit where gold mineral reserves for 2024 are based upon a price assumption of $1,650/oz.

ii. Except at Zaldivar, where mineral reserves and resources are based on Antofagasta’s price assumptions. For mineral reserves, the copper price assumption used by Antofagasta is $3.80/lb for 2024 and was $3.50/lb for 2023. For mineral resources, the copper price assumption used by Antofagasta is $4.40/lb for 2024 and was $4.20/lb for 2023.

iii. Except at Norte Abierto where mineral reserves for 2024 are reported by Newmont within a $1,200/oz, $2.75/lb copper and $22/oz Ag pit design, before application of updated 2023 project economics using escalated operating and capital costs resulting in Newmont guidance of $1,600/oz for gold, $4.00/lb for copper and $23/oz for silver for assumed mineral reserve commodity prices. Mineral resources for 2024 are reported by Newmont within a $1,400/oz, $3.25/lb copper and $20/oz Ag pit shell, before application of updated 2023 project economics using escalated operating and capital costs resulting in Newmont guidance of $1,600/oz for gold, $4.00/lb for copper and $23/oz for silver for assumed mineral resource commodity price.

Endnote 23

Attributable organic gold equivalent reserve $/oz additions are calculated from the cumulative net change in reserves from year-end 2019 using reserve prices for gold equivalent ounce (GEO) conversion as outlined in Endnote 18, divided by the total attributable Barrick group expenditure on exploration, reserve conversion and technical studies from preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility and feasibility during the same period.

Endnote 24

Fourmile financial metrics and production metrics are based upon preliminary economic assessment which is preliminary in nature because it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. The preliminary economic assessment for Fourmile is based upon $1,900/oz mineable stope optimizer. The assumptions outlined within the preliminary economic assessment have formed the basis for the ongoing study and are made by the qualified person. Fourmile is currently 100% owned by Barrick. As previously disclosed, Barrick anticipates Fourmile being contributed to the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture, at fair market value, if certain criteria are met.

BARRICK YEAR-END 2024 38 PRESS RELEASE

Mineral Reserves and Resources Endnotes

1. Mineral reserves (“reserves”) and mineral resources (“resources”) have been estimated as at December 31, 2024 (unless otherwise noted) in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, the SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The SEC Modernization Rules replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7, which was rescinded from and after the required compliance date of the SEC Modernization Rules. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” to be substantially similar to the corresponding Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions, as required by NI 43-101. U.S. investors should understand that “inferred” mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In addition, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of Barrick’s mineral resources constitute or will be converted into reserves. Mineral resource and mineral reserve estimations have been prepared by employees of Barrick, its joint venture partners or its joint venture operating companies, as applicable, under the supervision of Craig Fiddes, SME-RM, Lead, Resource Modeling, Nevada Gold Mines; Richard Peattie, MPhil, FAusIMM, Mineral Resources Manager: Africa and Middle East; Peter Jones, MAIG, Manager Resource Geology – Latin America & Asia Pacific; and Simon Bottoms, CGeol, MGeol, FGS, FAusIMM, Mineral Resource Management and Evaluation Executive. For 2024, reserves have been estimated based on an assumed gold price of US$1,400 per ounce, an assumed silver price of US$20.00 per ounce, and an assumed copper price of US$3.00 per pound and long-term average exchange rates of 1.30 CAD/US$, except at Tongon, and Hemlo open pit, both where mineral reserves for 2024 were estimated using $1,650/oz; at Zaldívar, where mineral reserves for 2024 were calculated using Antofagasta guidance and an updated assumed copper price of US$3.80 per pound; and at Norte Abierto where mineral reserves are reported by Newmont within a $1,200/oz gold, $2.75/lb copper and $22/oz silver pit design, before application of updated 2023 project economics using escalated operating and capital costs resulting in Newmont guidance of $1,600/oz for gold, $4.00/lb for copper and $23/oz for silver for assumed mineral reserve commodity prices. For 2023, reserves have been estimated based on an assumed gold price of US$1,300 per ounce, an assumed silver price of US$18.00 per ounce, and an assumed copper price of US$3.00 per pound and long-term average exchange rates of 1.30 CAD/US$, except at Tongon, where mineral reserves for 2023 were calculated using $1,500/oz; Hemlo, where mineral reserves for 2023 were calculated using $1,400/oz; and at Zaldívar, where mineral reserves for 2023 were calculated using Antofagasta guidance and an updated assumed copper price of US$3.50 per pound. Reserve estimates incorporate current and/or expected mine plans and cost levels at each property. Varying cut-off grades have been used depending on the mine and type of ore contained in the reserves. Barrick’s normal data verification procedures have been employed in connection with the calculations. Verification procedures include industry-standard quality control practices. Resources as at December 31, 2024 have been estimated using varying cut-off grades, depending on both the type of mine or project, its maturity and ore types at each property.

2. In confirming our annual reserves for each of our mineral properties, projects, and operations, we conduct a reserve test on December 31 of each year to verify that the future undiscounted cash flow from reserves is positive. The cash flow ignores all sunk costs and only considers future operating and closure expenses as well as any future capital costs.

3. All mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates of tonnes, Au oz, Ag oz and Cu tonnes are reported to the second significant digit.

4. Mineral resources and mineral reserves for the Loulo-Gounkoto Complex have been estimated under the 1991 Malian Mining Code and the Loulo and Gounkoto Mining Conventions under which the Complex has operated to date. Any update to applicable terms as a result of ongoing engagements with the Government of Mali will be incorporated after a definitive agreement is reached. For additional information see page 9 of Barrick’s Fourth Quarter and Year End Report 2024.

5. 2024 polymetallic mineral resources and mineral reserves are estimated using the combined value of gold, copper & silver and accordingly are reported as gold, copper and silver mineral resources and mineral reserves.

6. For 2024, mineral resources have been estimated based on an assumed gold price of US$1,900 per ounce, an assumed silver price of US$24.00 per ounce, and an assumed copper price of US$4.00 per pound and long-term average exchange rates of 1.30 CAD/US$, except Zaldívar, where mineral resources for 2024 were estimated using Antofagasta guidance and an assumed copper price of US$4.40 per pound, and Norte Abierto, where mineral resources are reported by Newmont within a $1,400/oz gold, $3.25/ lb copper and $20/oz silver pit shell, before application of updated 2023 project economics using escalated operating and capital costs resulting in Newmont guidance and an assumed price of $1,600/oz for gold, $4.00/lb for copper and $23/oz for silver for assumed mineral resource commodity price. For 2023, mineral resources were estimated based on an assumed gold price of US$1,700 per ounce, an assumed silver price of US$21.00 per ounce, and an assumed copper price of US$4.00 per pound and long-term average exchange rates of 1.30 CAD/US$, except at Zaldívar, where mineral resources for 2023 were calculated using Antofagasta guidance and an assumed copper price of US$4.20.

7. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

8. Mineral resources are reported inclusive of mineral reserves.

9. All measured and indicated mineral resource estimates of grade and all proven and probable mineral reserve estimates of grade for Au g/t, Ag g/t and Cu % are reported to two decimal places.

10. All inferred mineral resource estimates of grade for Au g/t, Ag g/t and Cu % are reported to one decimal place.

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 “believe”, “expect”, “strategy”, “target”, “plan”, “commitment” “opportunities”, “guidance”, “project”, “progress”, “expand”, “invest”, “continue”, “progress”, “develop”, “on track”, “ongoing”, “estimate”, “growth”, “potential”, “future”, “extend”, “will”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “may” 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 our five and ten-year production profiles for gold and copper; projected capital, operating and exploration expenditures; our ability to convert resources into reserves and replace reserves net of depletion from production; the potential for Lumwana to become a Tier One asset and a top 25 copper asset; the potential for Fourmile to become a Tier One asset and world-class gold deposit; anticipated timing for commencement of the pre-feasibility study and development of the Bullion Hill access portal at Fourmile; anticipated increases in mine production capacity as a result of the Lumwana Super Pit expansion; expected financial performance of the Lumwana Super Pit expansion and the Reko Diq project, including forecasted cash flow, capital expenditures, and internal rates of return; timing for construction at Reko Diq and Lumwana and anticipated timing for first production at Reko Diq; mine life and production rates, including anticipated production growth from Barrick’s organic project pipeline; Barrick’s global exploration strategy and planned exploration activities; Barrick’s copper strategy; our plans, and expected timing, completion and benefits of our growth projects; potential mineralization and metal or mineral recoveries; Barrick’s strategy, plans, targets and goals in respect of environmental and social governance issues, including local community relations, economic contributions and education,

employment and procurement initiatives, climate change and biodiversity initiatives; Barrick’s talent management strategy; Barrick’s performance dividend policy and share buyback program; 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); risks associated with projects in the early stages of evaluation and for which additional engineering and other analysis is required; risks related to the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations, that quantities or grades of reserves will be diminished, and that resources may not be converted to reserves; risks associated with the fact that certain of the initiatives described in this press release are still in the early stages and may not materialize; changes in mineral production performance, exploitation and exploration successes; 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; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; lack of certainty with respect to foreign legal systems, corruption and other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; changes in national and local

government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices, including the status of value added tax refunds received in Chile in connection with the Pascua-Lama Project; expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Mali or other countries in which Barrick does or may carry on business in the future; risks relating to political instability in certain of the jurisdictions in which Barrick operates; timing of receipt of, or failure to comply with, necessary permits and approvals; non-renewal of key licenses by governmental authorities; failure to comply with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; increased costs and physical and transition risks related to climate change, including extreme weather events, resource shortages, emerging policies and increased regulations related to greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emission levels, energy efficiency and reporting of risks; the Company’s ability to achieve its sustainability goals, including its climate-related goals and GHG emissions reduction targets, in particular its ability to achieve its Scope 3 emissions targets which require reliance on entities within Barrick’s value chain, but outside of the Company’s direct control, to achieve such targets within the specified timeframes; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, or over access to water, power and other required infrastructure; the liability associated with risks and hazards in the mining industry, and the ability to maintain insurance to cover such losses; 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; risks related to operations near communities that may regard Barrick’s operations as being detrimental to them; litigation and legal and administrative proceedings; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities, including geotechnical challenges, tailings dam and storage facilities failures, and disruptions in the maintenance or provision of required infrastructure and information technology systems; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technical challenges associated with the construction of capital projects; risks associated with working with partners in jointly controlled assets; risks related to disruption of supply routes which may cause delays in construction and mining activities, including disruptions in the supply of key mining inputs due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East; risk of loss due to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; risks associated with artisanal and illegal mining; risks associated with Barrick’s infrastructure, information technology systems and the implementation of Barrick’s technological initiatives, including risks related cybersecurity incidents, including those caused by computer viruses, malware, ransomware and other cyberattacks, or similar information technology system failures, delays and/or disruptions; 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; the impact of inflation, including global inflationary pressures driven by ongoing global supply chain disruptions, global energy cost increases following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and country-specific political and economic factors in Argentina; adverse changes in our credit ratings; fluctuations in the currency markets; changes in U.S. dollar interest rates; risks arising from holding derivative instruments (such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark-to-market risk); risks related to the demands placed on the Company’s management, the ability of management to implement its business strategy and

enhanced political risk in certain jurisdictions; uncertainty whether some or all of Barrick’s targeted investments and projects will meet the Company’s capital allocation objectives and internal hurdle rate; whether benefits expected from recent transactions are realized; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; risks related to competition in the mining industry; employee relations including loss of key employees; availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor; risks associated with diseases, epidemics and pandemics; risks related to the failure of internal controls; and risks related to the impairment of the Company’s goodwill and assets.

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.
