Barrick Earns $34 Million or $0.06 Per Share in Third Quarter Company Affirms '02 Production & Cost Estimates Third Quarter in Brief o Net income totals $34 million, or 6 cents per share o Operating cash flow totals $156 million, or 29 cents per share o Production totals 1.38 million ounces of gold at $180 per ounce o Cash position increases to $988 million o Hedge commitments reduced by almost 2 million ounces; further reductions expected in fourth quarter o Growth Plan projected to generate 2 million new ounces of annual production at $125 per ounce Barrick Gold Corporation today reported earnings of $34 million ($0.06 per share) and operating cash flow of $156 million ($0.29 per share) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002, compared to earnings of $59 million ($0.11 per share) and operating cash flow of $181 million ($0.34 per share) in the prior-year period. As previously announced, during the current quarter, certain opera-tions experienced lower than anticipated grades and recovery rates, resulting in lower production and higher costs. For the full year, the Company continues to expect to produce 5.7 million ounces of gold, at an average cash cost of $178 per ounce, with earnings in the range of $0.33 to $0.35 per share (excluding non-hedge related adjustments) on the basis of spot gold prices averaging $315 per ounce for the balance of the year. Before non-hedge related adjustments, Barrick reported current quarter income of $37 million(1) ($0.06 per share) compared to $62 million ($0.12 per share) in the prior-year quarter. The Company reported free cash flow of $68 million(1) during the quarter, after capital expenditures, up from $26 million in the prior-year period. "A variety of unrelated operating issues from first half 2002 proved more stubborn than we'd expected and resulted in a disappointing quarter," said President and Chief Executive Officer Randall Oliphant. "But we've got the issues in hand, we've got our focus on change, and we've got a plan in place to make changes happen. These issues in no way detract from the fundamental quality of our asset base - or the growth pipeline we have in place," continued Mr. Oliphant, referring to the Company's recently announced plans to add four mines in five years, with a total of 2 million ounces of new production at an average cash cost of $125 per ounce over the first ten years of production. - ---------- (1) For an explanation of non-GAAP performance measures refer to pages 14-15 of the management's discussion and analysis. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 PRESS RELEASE For the first nine months of 2002, net income was $139 million ($0.26 per share) compared to $204 million ($0.38 per share) in the first nine months of 2001. Net income before non-hedge-related adjustments was $132 million(1)($0.24 per share) compared to $183 million ($0.34 per share) in the prior-year period. Operating cash flow, before previously accrued Homestake merger costs, was $522 million(1) ($0.97 per share) for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $579 million ($1.08 per share) in the prior-year period. After paying the previously accrued $38 million in merger costs, the Company recorded operating cash flow of $484 million ($0.90 per share) for the first nine months of 2002. TOTAL YEAR PRODUCTION ON TARGET Total production for the third quarter was 1.38 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of $180 per ounce, generating cash margins of $162 an ounce. Last year's production for the third quarter was 1.53 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of $165 per ounce, resulting in cash margins of $151 per ounce. For the year, production is expected to be 5.7 million ounces, at total cash costs of $178 per ounce. Longer term, the Company continues to forecast average annual production from existing operations of 5.5 million ounces at total cash costs of $175 per ounce through 2006, in line with current performance. "The lower third quarter results reflect lower than planned mining rates and grades in several of our underground mines, requiring us to substitute lower-grade ore from other areas of the operations," said Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer John Carrington. "We're working on mine sequencing and processing issues at these operations with one aim in mind: producing more gold at lower cash costs." Carrington confirmed that the Company expects the improvement process to continue through the quarter. FORWARD SALES POST 59TH STRAIGHT QUARTER BEATING SPOT PRICE Spot gold prices averaged $314 per ounce for the third quarter, compared to $274 per ounce in the year-earlier period. Combining deliveries into the Premium Gold Sales Program with sales at the spot price, the Company realized an average price of $342 per ounce, $28 higher than the average spot price for the period - the 59th consecutive quarter the Program has bettered the spot price. Overall for the quarter, the program generated an additional $39 million in revenue. The changing economic environment has led to adjustments in the Company's forward sales program. As a result of the Company's overall financial strength, lower forward premiums due to the decline in interest rates and the positive outlook for gold prices, Barrick announced plans in September 2002 to bring its forward sales position down to 12 million ounces, or 15 percent of current reserves - a one-third reduction from present levels - by yearend 2003, based on market conditions. In line with that plan, the Company reduced its forward sales position from 17.9 million ounces at the close of second quarter 2002 to 16.9 million ounces by third quarter's end, and reduced its variable price sales and call option contract position from 3.1 million ounces to 2.2 million ounces, moving toward a target of 1.5 million ounces. The Company maintains a strong financial position, with the industry's only A-rating, and closed the quarter with a cash position of $988 million, working capital of $773 million, and no net debt. GROWTH PIPELINE PROGRESSING The quarter also saw the announcement of the Company's $2 billion, four-mine/five-year growth plan, centered on Alto Chicama in Peru, Cowal in Australia, Veladero in Argentina and Pascua-Lama, straddling the border of Chile and Argentina(2). The four projects, projected to come into production between 2005 and 2008, are expected to add a total of 2 million ounces of annual production at an average cash cost for the first ten years of $125 per ounce, with higher production and lower cash costs in the early years. The Company estimates an internal rate of return from the four projects of 14 percent at $325 gold, and 11 percent at $300 gold - well above its 8 percent cost of capital. "When you couple our steady free cash flow with our solid balance sheet, we're confident we have the financial resources we need to bring our growth pipeline online," said Jamie - ---------- (2) For details of the growth plan and the four projects, see Barrick's press release of September 17, 2002.

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 5 SUMMARY INFORMATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial and Operating Results What follows is a discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to the results of operations in third quarter 2002. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"), together with the following information, are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our operations, but should not serve as the only basis for predicting our future performance. Overview For third quarter 2002, we produced 1.4 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of $180 per ounce, compared to 1.5 million ounces of gold at $165 per ounce in third quarter 2001. Net income was $34 million ($0.06 per share), compared to $59 million ($0.11 per share) for third quarter 2001. Before non-hedge derivative gains/(losses), net income was $37 million(1) ($0.06 per share), compared to $62 million ($0.12 per share) for the year-earlier period. In third quarter 2002, operating cash flows totaled $156 million ($0.29 per share), compared to $181 million ($0.34 per share) for third quarter 2001. GOLD SALES Revenue for third quarter 2002 reached $473 million on gold sales of 1.4 million ounces, up from $466 million in revenue on 1.5 million ounces for third quarter 2001. Higher revenue for the 2002 quarter resulted from a $26 per ounce, or 8 percent, increase in the average realized price, partially offset by a 6 percent decrease in gold sales. The increase in our average realized price is due principally to higher spot gold prices, which averaged $314 per ounce for the third quarter, compared to $274 per ounce in the year-earlier period. Combining deliveries from our Premium Gold Sales Program and spot gold sales, we realized an average price of $342 per ounce, $28 higher than the average spot price for the period, generating an additional $39 million in revenue. Future gold production committed under spot deferred contracts in our Premium Gold Sales Program totaled 16.9 million ounces at quarter's end, down 1 million ounces from the second quarter, deliverable over the next 15 years at an average price of $342 per ounce. As we announced on September 17, we are reducing and simplifying our program, given the low forward premiums resulting from the decline in U.S. interest rates, our overall financial strength and our positive view of the gold price. Our target is to reduce our forward sales position to 12 million ounces by the end of 2003 - representing approximately 15 percent of the Company's current gold reserves, compared to today's 21 percent. At the same time, we plan to reduce our call option and variable price sales contract positions. Over the last quarter, we reduced those positions from 3.1 to 2.2 million ounces, with a target of reaching 1.5 million ounces by the end of 2003. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS During the quarter, several operations experienced lower than anticipated grades and recovery rates, resulting in lower production and higher costs. We expect the actions we are taking to resolve these issues to continue during the fourth quarter, leading to the revised cash cost estimates for the year issued in the last week of September. - ---------------------------------------------------------- Q3 2002 Q3 2001 2002E - ---------------------------------------------------------- Production 1,377,505 1,532,377 5,665,000 Total cash cost $180 $165 $178 - ---------------------------------------------------------- - ---------- (1) For an explanation of non-GAAP performance measures refer to pages 14-15 of the management's discussion and analysis. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The quarter also saw the announcement of our $2 billion four-mine/five-year growth plan, centered on development projects at Alto Chicama in north-central Peru, Cowal in Australia, and Veladero and Pascua-Lama on the border of Chile/Argentina: projects we expect to bring into production between 2005 and 2008, to add a total of approximately 2 million ounces of annual production at an estimated average cash cost for the first ten years of $125 per ounce, with higher production and lower cash costs in the early years. Goldstrike Property (Nevada) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Q3 2002 Q3 2001 2002E - ---------------------------------------------------------- Production 483,778 535,513 2,040,000 Total cash cost $233 $200 $219 - ---------------------------------------------------------- o Lower production and higher costs for third quarter 2002 compared to the year-earlier quarter relate to lower grades processed from both the open pit and underground. o For the year, Goldstrike is on track to produce 2 million ounces, marginally lower (off 3%) than 2002 plan. o Cash costs for 2002 are expected to be $14 per ounce higher (up 7%) than plan, primarily due to increased costs at Meikle. Betze-Post (Goldstrike Property) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Q3 2002 Q3 2001 2002E - ---------------------------------------------------------- Production 333,746 328,572 1,390,000 Total cash cost $ 247 $ 236 $ 228 - ---------------------------------------------------------- o Third quarter production was below plan while cash costs were higher than plan, due to lower grades and recovery rates in the autoclaves, caused by ore blending/routing issues, partially offset by an increase in tons milled (up 12%). o Production in third quarter 2002 was marginally higher than the year-earlier quarter, as productivity gains at the roaster increased throughput 20 percent, offsetting lower head grades. o Higher costs compared to the year-earlier quarter relate to processing more tons at lower grades, as well as higher power costs. Power costs have increased 19 percent over the year-earlier quarter, or $10 per ounce. Meikle (Goldstrike Property) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Q3 2002 Q3 2001 2002E - ---------------------------------------------------------- Production 150,032 206,941 650,000 Total cash cost $ 206 $ 140 $ 198 - ---------------------------------------------------------- o Third quarter production was lower (8%) than the mid-year plan and cash costs higher (8%) than plan, as the Mine encountered difficulty mining high grade remnant ore in the main Meikle zone. o Lower production compared to the year-earlier quarter is due primarily to lower grades processed (off 27%), partially offset by the higher mining rate at Rodeo. o Higher cash costs in third quarter 2002 compared to the year-earlier quarter are primarily due to mining and processing more tons at lower grade, as well as higher power costs. o The drill program to better define mineralization at the Banshee target continues, with a decision on a Meikle-to-Banshee access drift due by year-end. Eskay Creek (British Columbia) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Q3 2002 Q3 2001 2002E - ---------------------------------------------------------- Production 84,868 78,939 355,000 Total cash cost $ 43 $ 59 $ 42 - ---------------------------------------------------------- o Production for third quarter 2002 was lower than plan, as a strike at a third-party smelter that treats Eskay Creek ore necessitated a reduction in the mining rate. o Third quarter production was higher and cash costs lower than the year-earlier quarter, due to higher mining and processing rates, as well as a higher silver by-product credit. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS o For 2002, production is expected to be approximately 11,000 ounces below plan, yet cash costs are expected to be $9 per ounce lower than plan. Were it not for the third-party smelter strike, production would have bettered plan, with lower cash costs. o While the negotiators at the third-party smelter have requested a mid-October resumption of settlement talks, our revised estimates reflect the strike continuing through the balance of the year. In the meantime, we have entered into discussions with other smelters to process Eskay Creek ore. Round Mountain (Nevada) (50% share) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Q3 2002 Q3 2001 2002E - ---------------------------------------------------------- Production 100,063 102,882 380,000 Total cash cost $ 174 $ 180 $ 190 - ---------------------------------------------------------- o For third quarter 2002, production was higher (10%) than plan, while cash costs were lower (8%), due to the processing of low-cost stockpiles. o The Mine is on track to surpass its production and cash cost targets for the year. o Based on encouraging drill results, a study is now underway of the economics of a small starter pit at Gold Hill (5 miles from the Round Mountain deposit).

In this section, the four mines are treated first, followed by updates on additional exploration efforts. Alto Chicama (Peru) On September 17 we provided an updated resource classification at Alto Chicama. We calculated an indicated resource of 103 million tons, grading 0.056 ounces per ton, for a total of 5.74 million ounces of gold, and an inferred resource of 33 million tons grading 0.046 ounces per ton gold for 1.53 million ounces. This compares to an inferred resource of 7.3 million ounces of gold, as announced on July 10, 2002. Metallurgical testwork is in progress; preliminary results on the oxide material indicate the ore is amenable to heap leaching. We estimate Alto Chicama will produce 500,000 ounces per year at an average cash cost over the first decade of $130 per ounce. Capital costs are projected at $300 to $350 million. Work in the quarter focused on infill and condemnation drilling. The infill program is planned to bring drill spacing on the Lagunas Norte deposit to reserve density status by early 2003. The condemnation program has been successful in locating areas suitable for the necessary facilities. In addition, step-out drilling is underway in order to continue to expand the resource, which remains open to the north and south. A new resource model will be calculated for year-end 2002. For the balance of the year, our objectives include further progress toward the completion of a 2003 feasibility study, including metallurgical test work and BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS mine and process planning. We will also begin the permitting process for the Lagunas Norte deposit during fourth quarter 2002. Pascua/Veladero District (Chile and Argentina) The Pascua/Veladero District is one of the largest undeveloped gold districts in the world, with over 25 million ounces(2) of gold reserves. The Veladero project feasibility study was completed during third quarter 2002, providing the basis for ongoing development. Access road and camp infrastructure construction are commencing during fourth quarter 2002. The feasibility study envisions a valley-fill heap leach with two-stage crushing, similar to our Pierina Mine. Capital cost estimates for construction are $425 million. Veladero's mineable reserves are now estimated at 254 million tons, grading 0.037 ounces per ton for a total of 9.4 million ounces(2), compared to 8.4 million ounces(2) in 2001. Production is expected to average 530,000 ounces per year for 13 years, at an average cash cost of $155 per ounce. Lower cash costs are expected in the earlier years of the mine life. With the opportunity to take a unified approach to the development of Pascua/Veladero, we anticipate significant synergies in terms of infrastructure, administrative support and construction activities. Veladero is scheduled to commence production in early 2006, with operations at Pascua-Lama commencing in 2008, subject to final board approval. At Pascua-Lama, third quarter 2002 saw the continuation of optimization work, with a focus on synergies with Veladero and assessing the impact of the Argentine peso devaluation. We estimate that Pascua-Lama will produce 800,000 ounces per year at an average cash cost of $85 per ounce, with higher production and lower costs in the early years. Cowal (Australia) Metallurgical test work is underway, aimed at optimizing the scope and economics of the Cowal project. The 20,000-meter drill program, which began during first quarter 2002, was halted on March 22, when a New South Wales court granted an interim injunction over the protection of relics. That injunction has since been lifted, and we have resumed our inspection, clearance and preservation of artifacts in accordance with a Section 87 permit. Currently, there are 6 drills at work on cleared areas of the Cowal property. We estimate Cowal will produce 270,000 ounces per year at an average cash cost of $170 per ounce, with higher production and lower costs in the early years. We project capital costs to bring Cowal into production of $180 million. Australia Exploration programs continued on the Tanami joint venture in Northern Territory/Western Australia, where a regional geochemical sampling program is underway. In-fill sampling commenced in third quarter 2002, aimed at following up anomalous gold values along the 50-kilometre long Bramall Trend. Initial results are favourable; the objective of the program is to identify drill targets for testing in 2003. Drill programs continued on the Plutonic mine property, testing numerous targets for Plutonic-style mineralization. Tanzania In Tanzania, results from completed drill programs are being evaluated to provide recommendations for follow up work in 2003. Airborne geophysical and ground surveys were completed on earlier stage properties during the quarter. We are now identifying new targets for drill testing later in 2003. A feasibility study for the Tulawaka project is on schedule for completion in fourth quarter 2002. United States A drill program commenced at the Dee and Rossi properties in third quarter 2002, where 10 targets will be tested. The program will be completed during fourth quarter 2002. At Ren, the second-phase drill program has commenced, and will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter. - ---------- (2) Calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, Industry Guide 7 (under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as interpreted by the Staff of the SEC, creates different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. Accordingly, for U.S. reporting purposes, the mineralization at Veladero is classified as indicated resources. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AMORTIZATION Amortization totaled $126 million, or $87 per ounce in third quarter 2002, compared to $120 million, or $79 per ounce in the year-earlier quarter. The increase in amortization per ounce is primarily due to higher amortization at Goldstrike with the completion of construction of Rodeo in 2001 and the reduction of reserves at Meikle. ADMINISTRATION In third quarter 2002, administration costs were $16 million, a decrease of $5 million, or 24 percent lower than the year-earlier period, reflecting the effect of integrating Barrick and Homestake and the associated administrative synergies. INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME The principal component of interest and other income is interest received on cash and short-term investments. INTEREST ON LONG-TERM DEBT We incurred $15 million in interest costs in both third quarter 2002 and 2001, related primarily to our $500 million of debentures, and the $200 million Bulyanhulu project financing. In third quarter 2001, $7 million of interest costs were capitalized at Rodeo, Bulyanhulu and Pascua; in 2002, none of these projects qualified for capitalization of interest, as a result of completion or deferral of construction. NON-HEDGE DERIVATIVE GAINS (LOSSES) The total mark-to-market loss on the non-hedge derivative positions that were included in third quarter 2002 earnings was $3 million, the same as the prior-year period. The principal components of the mark-to-market gains and losses are currency, commodity, and interest and lease rate contracts, and exclude our normal purchase and sales contracts. For further information see note 5D in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. INCOME TAXES The decline in the effective rate compared to the year-earlier period is primarily due to a higher portion of earnings being realized in lower tax rate jurisdictions, and the benefit of tax synergies associated with the Homestake merger, primarily related to integrating our North American operations. Should spot gold prices remain at current levels, we expect the effective tax rate to remain at approximately the present level throughout the balance of 2002. Should gold prices rise substantially, we would expect the effective tax rate to rise, with a higher portion of earnings being earned in higher-tax jurisdictions including the United States, Canada, Australia, Peru and Tanzania. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We believe our ability to generate cash flow from operations to reinvest in our business is one of our fundamental financial strengths. Combined with our large cash and short-term investment balance of $988 million at September 30, 2002, and our $1 billion undrawn bank facility, renewed on April 29, 2002 for another five-year term, we have sufficient access to capital resources if required. We anticipate that our operating activities in 2002 will continue to provide us with cash flows necessary for us to continue developing our internal projects and to utilize for potential acquisitions. We generated operating cash flow of $156 million in third quarter 2002, compared to $181 million in the year-earlier period. The lower cash flow in third quarter 2002 is mainly due to lower earnings. With a portion of our gold expected to be sold at spot market prices for the balance of 2002, the fluctuation in gold prices will affect the amount of our operating cash flow through the remainder of this year. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS INVESTING ACTIVITIES Our principal investing activities are for sustaining capital at our existing operating properties, new mine development and property and company acquisitions. Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures for the third quarter 2002 totaled $88 million, compared to $155 million in the same period in 2001. The decline is principally due to higher amounts spent in 2001 at Goldstrike, mainly relating to deferred stripping, as well as higher activity at Bulyanhulu and Pascua in third quarter 2001. Principal expenditures in third quarter 2002 included $46 million in North America, comprised primarily of deferred stripping and underground development at Goldstrike. In Tanzania, capital expenditures included $12 million spent at the Bulyanhulu Mine on underground development. In Australia, capital expenditures were $20 million to cover underground development and new mining equipment, while in South America capital expenditures totaled $10 million, primarily for Pierina ($7 million) and engineering and development work at Pascua-Lama ($3 million). FINANCING ACTIVITIES During third quarter 2002, our cash outflow from financing activities was nil, compared with an outflow of $20 million in the year-earlier period. In third quarter 2001, the outflow principally related to repayment of long-term debt obligations. OUTLOOK We believe considerable growth opportunities exist within our existing asset base, not only from our new pipeline of projects but from our operating mines as well. Our assumption is that consolidation and rationalization of the gold industry will continue. Our strong balance sheet and substantial cash flows position us to participate in that consolidation should we choose, in ways that add value to our Company. For the balance of the year, 50 percent of planned production is expected to be sold at an average price of $365 per ounce. The balance of production is expected to be sold either at spot prices, or delivered into our forward contracts at prices similar to spot prices. Overall for 2002, we remain on track to produce 5.7 million ounces at an average cash cost of $178 per ounce, $11 higher than plan, due to lower than planned performance at several operations. Total production costs are expected to reach $269 per ounce, 6 percent above plan. The company expects exploration and business development expenses to be approximately $100 million, up from $55 million at the beginning of the year, due largely to the discovery at Alto Chicama (up $25 million) and increased expensing at Veladero (up $14 million). Capital spending is expected to total $240 million (excluding deferred stripping costs of $120 million) - the lowest level in 14 years, which, at current gold prices, would generate the highest free cash flows in Company history. We expect full year earnings to be in the range of our September guidance of 33-to 35-cents per share (excluding non-hedge related gains/(losses)), based on spot gold prices averaging $315 per ounce during the fourth quarter. Overall, we enter the last quarter of 2002 with the strongest balance sheet in the gold industry, a portfolio of high-quality, long-life properties, a promising growth pipeline with a growth strategy to bring it on stream - and a cash position of $988 million, with no net debt. NON-GAAP MEASURES We have included measures of earnings before non-hedge derivative gains and losses and operating cash flow excluding payments of previously accrued merger related costs, because we believe that this information will assist investors' understanding of the level of our core earnings and to assess our performance in 2002 compared to the prior year. We believe that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") do not fully illustrate our core earnings. These non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP performance measures.

We have included cash costs per ounce data because we understand that certain investors use this information to determine the Company's ability to generate cash flow for use in investing and other activities. We also make reference to the term "free cash flow", which we define as cash flow from operations less cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment. This cash is available to reinvest in our business or to return to shareholders, either through dividends or share repurchases. We believe that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP do not fully illustrate the ability of the operating mines to generate cash flow. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Total cash costs per ounce data is calculated in accordance with The Gold Institute Production Cost Standard (the "Standard"). The Gold Institute is a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and includes leading North American gold producers. Adoption of the Standard is voluntary, and the data presented may not be comparable to data presented by other gold producers. Cash costs per ounce are derived from amounts included in the Statements of Income and include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, royalties and production taxes, but exclude amortization, reclamation costs, financing costs, and capital, development and exploration. Continuity Schedule of the Change in the mark-to-market Value of the Gold and Silver Hedge Position The estimated fair value of the gold contracts at September 30, 2002 was approximately $301 million negative, and the fair value of the silver contracts was $19 million positive. These values are based on the net present value of cash flows under the contracts, based on a gold spot price of $324 per ounce, silver spot price of $4.51 per ounce, and market rates for Libor and gold and silver lease rates. The year-to-date change in the fair value of the Company's gold contracts is detailed as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value as at December 31, 2001 $ 356 Impact of $152 million realized gains in the period to date (152) Impact of change in spot price (from $279 per ounce to $324 per (883) ounce) Impact of contracts added (21) Implied contango period to date 109 Impact of change in valuation inputs other than spot metal prices (e.g. interest rates, lease rates, and volatility) 290 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value as at September 30, 2002 $(301) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mark-to-market value of the gold contracts would approach zero (breakeven) at a spot gold price of approximately $307 per ounce, assuming all other variables are constant.

See accompanying notes to interim unaudited consolidated financial statements. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 19 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (US GAAP) Tabular dollar amounts in millions of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, US GAAP basis. References to C$ and A$ are to Canadian and Australian dollars, respectively. 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for the preparation of interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. Except as disclosed in note 2, the accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the three years ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of results for the periods presented have been reflected in these financial statements. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2002. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements and the notes thereto for the three years ended December 31, 2001. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On December 14, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick merged with Homestake Mining Company ("Homestake"). The merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger, with all periods presented as if Barrick and Homestake had always been combined. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the presentation of Barrick and Homestake. 2 ACCOUNTING CHANGES A Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets We adopted FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), effective January 1, 2002. Since we had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the date of adoption, the implementation of this accounting change had no effect on our consolidated financial statements. B Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets We adopted FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets (SFAS 144), effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of this new statement had no effect on our consolidated financial statements. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 20 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 3 CAPITAL STOCK A Net income per share Net income per share was calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 which amounted to 540 million shares (2001 - 536 million shares). Diluted net income per share reflects the dilutive effect of the exercise of the common share purchase options outstanding as at the end of the period. The number of shares for the diluted net income per share calculation for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were 541 million shares and 537 million shares, respectively. B Common share purchase options

FASB Statement No. 123 (SFAS 123) encourages, but does not require, companies to include in compensation cost the fair value of stock options granted to employees. A Company that does not adopt the fair-value method must disclose the cost of stock compensation awards, at their fair value on the date the award is granted. The fair value of common share purchase options granted in the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 was $2 million, estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: a 6-year expected term, 30% volatility, interest rates of 6% and an expected dividend yield of 1.5%. Under SFAS 123, the cost of stock compensation, and the resulting pro forma net income and net income per share would be as follows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock compensation cost $ 5 $ 8 $ 15 $ 23 Pro forma net income $ 29 $ 51 $ 124 $ 181 Pro forma net income per share (dollars) $ 0.05 $ 0.10 $ 0.23 $ 0.34 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C Dividends In the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company declared and paid dividends in United States dollars totaling $0.11 per share.

This amount is included in other assets. 5 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS A Derivative instruments We utilize over-the-counter ("OTC") contracts as the primary basis for entering into derivative transactions. These privately negotiated agreements, compared to exchange traded contracts, allow us to incorporate favourable credit, tenor and flexible terms into the contracts. The underlyings in the contracts include commodities, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and bond indices with diversified credit exposure. We do not enter into derivative instruments which we would consider to be leveraged. For a full description of our objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments; the nature and principal terms of the derivative instruments we use; the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of derivative instruments; and the nature of credit and market risks associated with the derivative instruments we use, refer to our audited consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2001.

(1) Net of 300,000 ounces of gold contracts purchased (2) Net of 150,000 ounces of gold calls purchased In addition to the above, we have off-take contracts which allow (but do not commit) Barrick to sell 1.8 million ounces of gold spread over 10 years, at the then prevailing spot price. The Company has previously announced that it anticipates a reduction in its forward gold sales position to approximately 12 million ounces by the end of 2003, based on current market conditions. This reduction is planned primarily through scheduled deliveries from production, but also through opportunistic early delivery of production into certain contracts. (i) Normal sales contracts We have determined and documented that our physically settled Spot Deferred Sales Contracts and Variable Price Sales Contracts meet the normal sales exception included in paragraph 10(b) of SFAS 133. Accordingly, these contracts are not accounted for as derivatives pursuant to SFAS 133, and are not marked-to-market through earnings. Spot deferred sales contracts We have entered into spot deferred sales contracts, with various counterparties, that establish selling prices for future gold production, and which therefore act as an economic hedge against possible price fluctuations in gold. The contracts have a final delivery date of up to 15 years from inception, but we have the right at our sole discretion to set a delivery date for any BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 23 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Spot Deferred Sales Contracts during this 15-year period from inception. At the time a delivery date is rescheduled, the contract price is adjusted based on the difference between the prevailing forward gold market price and the original contract price. The average price of the spot deferred sales contracts reflects established and expected future price assumptions. Prices are fixed on 100% of the contracts through 2005. Beyond 2005, the expected prices incorporate an average lease rate assumption of 1.75%. Variations between the lease rate assumption and the actual lease rates will impact the final realized selling prices. Lease rate exposure is managed and accounted for separately from our normal gold sales contracts, and the economic impact flows through our earnings each quarter as part of "non-hedge derivative gains (losses)"(refer to note 5D). The outstanding lease rate swaps at September 30, 2002, that we utilize to manage our lease rate exposure were as follows:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maturity 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007+ Total - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gold lease rate swaps Receive fixed, pay floating Notional (thousands of ounces) - 150 400 595 1,016 3,155 5,316 Fixed rate (%) - 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.6% 4.1% 3.5% - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Price Sales Contracts Variable Price Sales Contracts are contracts whereby we will deliver a specified quantity of gold on a future date that is determined by us. The contracts have a final delivery date of up to 15 years from inception, but we have the right at our sole discretion to set a delivery date for any Variable Price Sales Contract during this 15-year period from inception. All of the Variable Price Sales Contracts have expected delivery dates in 2005 and beyond. The contract price equals the gold spot price subject to a specified maximum ("cap") based on market conditions in the years indicated in the table above, plus a fixed premium payable to Barrick. The contract price will be adjusted in the same manner as price adjustments to spot deferred contracts for the period from these dates to the expected delivery date in 2005 and beyond. Certain of these contracts also have a specified minimum ("floor") price.

(i) Cash flow hedges We use forward and zero cost min-max currency contracts to economically hedge exposures arising from operating expenses and capital expenditures denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. The specific terms and notional amounts of the contracts are determined based on management's assessment of forecasted future cash flows relating to these expenditures. We have determined and documented that certain of these contracts be accounted for as cash flow hedges of the variability of forecasted expenditures in US$ terms and that these hedging relationships continue to be highly effective. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness recorded and recognized was insignificant. At September 30, 2002, we had elected hedge accounting treatment for Canadian dollar contracts with a total notional amount of C$515 million, and Australian dollar contracts with a total notional amount of A$1,082 million. In addition, we have elected for certain of our receive fixed interest rate swaps, with a total notional amount of $525 million, to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of expected future interest receipts arising on our cash and short-term investments. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness recorded and recognized was insignificant. For cash flow hedges, gains and losses on derivative contracts that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to current-period earnings are included in the line item which the hedged item is recorded, in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 25 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, we transferred gains of $3 million and $13 million respectively from other comprehensive income to earnings. In the next twelve months, gains of $12 million accumulated in other comprehensive income are expected to be transferred to earnings.

6 CONTINGENCIES A Environmental Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal, provincial and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. We conduct our operations so as to protect public health and the environment and we believe that our operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. B Litigation and claims BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 26 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In October 1997, Homestake Canada Inc. ("HCI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick, entered into an agreement with Inmet Mining Corporation ("Inmet") to purchase the Troilus mine in Quebec for $110 million plus working capital. In December 1997, HCI terminated the agreement after determining that, on the basis of due diligence studies, conditions to closing the arrangement would not be satisfied. On February 23, 1998, Inmet filed suit against HCI in the British Columbia Supreme Court, disputing the termination of the agreement and alleging that HCI had breached the agreement. On January 15, 2002, the Supreme Court of British Columbia released its decision in the matter and found in favour of Inmet and against HCI. Specifically, the Court held that Inmet should be awarded equitable damages in the amount of C$88.2 million, which amount was accrued at December 31, 2001. The Court did not award Inmet pre-judgement interest. Inmet requested the Court to re-open the trial to permit Inmet to make submissions on its claim for pre-judgement interest from the date of the breach by HCI. The request to re-open was denied by the court on May 17, 2002. On February 7, 2002, HCI filed a Notice of Appeal of the decision with the British Columbia Court of Appeal. Inmet filed a notice of Appeal of the decision denying Inmet the pre-judgment interest. A letter of credit in the approximate amount of C$95 million was posted on August 20, 2002 by HCI with the British Columbia Court of Appeal, pending a decision on the appeal. On April 30, 1998, we were added as a defendant in a class action lawsuit initiated against Bre-X Minerals Ltd., certain of its directors and officers or former directors and officers and others in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division. The class action alleges, among other things, that statements made by us in connection with our efforts to secure the right to develop and operate the Busang gold deposit in East Kalimantan, Indonesia were materially false and misleading and omitted to state material facts relating to the preliminary due diligence investigation undertaken by us in late 1996. On July 13, 1999, the Court dismissed the claims against us and several other defendants on the grounds that the plaintiffs had failed to state a claim under United States securities laws. On August 19, 1999, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint restating their claims against us and certain other defendants and on June 14, 2000 filed a further amended complaint, the Fourth Amended Complaint. On March 31, 2001, the Court granted in part and denied in part our Motion to Dismiss the Fourth Amended Complaint. As a result, we remain a defendant in the case. We believe that the remaining claims against us are without merit. We filed our formal answer to the Fourth Amended Complaint on April 27, 2001 denying all relevant allegations of the plaintiffs against us. Discovery in the case has been stayed by the Court pending the Court's decision on whether or not to certify the case as a class action. The amount of potential loss, if any, which we may incur arising out of the plaintiffs claims is not currently determinable. From time to time, we are involved in various claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. We are also subject to reassessment for income and mining taxes for certain years.

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 29 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 10 HOMESTAKE CANADA INC. ("HCI") In connection with a 1998 acquisition, HCI issued 11.1 million HCI exchangeable shares. Each HCI exchangeable share is exchangeable for 0.53 of a Barrick common share at any time at the option of the holder and has essentially the same voting, dividend (payable in Canadian dollars), and other rights as 0.53 of a Barrick common share. A share of special voting stock, which was issued to the transfer agent in trust for the holders of the HCI exchangeable shares, provides the mechanism for holders of the HCI exchangeable shares to receive their voting rights. As at September 30, 2002, 1.6 million of the HCI exchangeable shares were outstanding and are equivalent to 0.8 million Barrick common shares. As at September 30, 2002, we had reserved 0.8 million Barrick shares for issuance on exchange of the HCI exchangeable shares outstanding.

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 35 SUMMARY INFORMATION EX-99.2 4 ex99-2_111202.txt CANADIAN GAAP EXHIBIT 99.2 [BARRICK LOGO OMITTED] BARRICK GOLD CORPORATION Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial and Operating Results FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 In accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial and Operating Results What follows is a discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to the results of operations in third quarter 2002. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are presented in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP"), together with the following information, are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our operations, but should not serve as the only basis for predicting our future performance. The following 2002 figures incorporate Homestake's operations compared to the 2001 figures that reflect Barrick's results on a stand-alone basis. Overview For third quarter 2002, we produced 1.4 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of $182 per ounce, compared to 0.9 million ounces of gold at $163 per ounce in third quarter 2001. Net income was $38 million ($0.07 per share), compared to $63 million ($0.16 per share) for third quarter 2001. Before non-hedge derivative gains/(losses), net income was $40 million 1 ($0.07 per share), compared to $63 million ($0.16 per share) for the year-earlier period. In third quarter 2002, operating cash flows totaled $167 million ($0.31 per share), compared to $158 million ($0.40 per share) for third quarter 2001. GOLD SALES Revenue for third quarter 2002 reached $468 million on gold sales of 1.4 million ounces, up from $306 million in revenue on 0.9 million ounces for third quarter 2001. As disclosed in note 2A to our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, we have changed our accounting policy for revenue recognition. This change was made retroactively with restatement of comparative figures, and accordingly the analysis of our results is after reflecting this change. The higher revenue for third quarter 2002 resulted from the inclusion of the revenues generated by Homestake mines in 2002. Combining deliveries from our Premium Gold Sales Program and spot gold sales, we realized an average price of $338 per ounce, $24 higher than the average spot price for the period, generating an additional $33 million in revenue. Future gold production committed under spot deferred contracts in our Premium Gold Sales Program totaled 16.9 million ounces at quarter's end, down 1 million ounces from the second quarter, deliverable over the next 15 years at an average price of $342 per ounce. As we announced on September 17, we are reducing and simplifying our program, given the low forward premiums resulting from the decline in U.S. interest rates, our overall financial strength and our positive view of the gold price. Our target is to reduce our forward sales position to 12 million ounces by the end of 2003 - representing approximately 15 percent of the Company's current gold reserves, compared to today's 21 percent. At the same time, we plan to reduce our call option and variable price sales contract positions. Over the last quarter, we reduced those positions from 3.1 to 2.2 million ounces, with a target of reaching 1.5 million ounces by the end of 2003. Review of Operations and Exploration and Development Projects Total operating costs for third quarter 2002 were $254 million, compared to $150 million for the year earlier period. On a per ounce basis, total cash costs for the quarter were $182 compared to $163 in third quarter 2001. - ------------------- 1 For an explanation of non-GAAP performance measures refer to pages 4-5 of the management's discussion and analysis. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS During the quarter, several operations experienced lower than anticipated grades and recovery rates, resulting in lower production and higher costs. We expect the actions we are taking to resolve these issues to continue during the fourth quarter, leading to the revised cash cost estimates for the year issued in the last week of September. The quarter also saw the announcement of our $2 billion four-mine/five-year growth plan, centered on development projects at Alto Chicama in north-central Peru, Cowal in Australia, and Veladero and Pascua-Lama on the border of Chile/Argentina: projects we expect to bring into production between 2005 and 2008, to add a total of approximately 2 million ounces of annual production at an estimated average cash cost for the first 10 years of $125 per ounce, with higher production and lower cash costs in the early years. For more detailed information on each operation please see accompanying US GAAP Management Discussion & Analysis of Financial and Operating Results (pages 7-12). Under US GAAP Operations Review, comparative 2001 figures are not applicable for Canadian GAAP purposes as such mines (Round Mountain, Eskay Creek, Hemlo, Yilgarn District, Kalgoorlie) were acquired through the Homestake merger in December 2001. AMORTIZATION Amortization totaled $132 million, or $91 per ounce in third quarter 2002, compared to $81 million, or $90 per ounce in the year-earlier quarter. The increase in amortization per ounce is primarily due to amortization of the fair value adjustments of the Homestake assets acquired and higher amortization at Goldstrike with the completion of construction at Rodeo in 2001 and the reduction of reserves at Meikle. ADMINISTRATION In third quarter 2002, administration costs were $16 million, an increase of $6 million, over the year-earlier period, reflecting the effect of the inclusion of costs incurred by Homestake after integrating Barrick and Homestake, less the associated administrative synergies. INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME The principal component of interest and other income is interest received on cash and short-term investments. INTEREST ON LONG TERM OBLIGATIONS We incurred $17 million in interest costs in third quarter 2002 and $14 million in third quarter 2001, related primarily to our $500 million of debentures, and the $200 million Bulyanhulu project financing. In third quarter 2001, $8 million of interest costs were capitalized at Rodeo, Bulyanhulu and Pascua; in 2002, none of these projects qualified for capitalization of interest, as a result of completion or deferral of construction. NON-HEDGE DERIVATIVE LOSSES The total mark-to-market loss on the non-hedge derivative positions that were included in third quarter 2002 earnings was $2 million. The principal components of the mark-to-market gains and losses are non-hedge commodity, and interest and lease rate contracts, and exclude our executory sales contracts. INCOME TAXES We recorded an income tax credit of $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This tax credit primarily arose due to a higher portion of earnings being realized in lower tax rate jurisdictions, and the benefit of tax synergies associated with the Homestake merger, primarily related to integrating our North American operations as well as tax benefits of $16 million relating to losses on non-hedge derivatives and the drawdown of future tax liabilities on purchase accounting adjustments relating to the Homestake merger. If gold prices were to rise substantially, the amount of this credit could decrease for the full year 2002, with a higher portion of earnings in the United States, Canada, Australia, Peru and Tanzania where tax rates are higher. In future years, whether we record an income tax credit or an expense will depend upon a variety of factors, including: the level spot gold prices; the timing and amount of further tax synergies arising from the Homestake merger; and the tax effects of purchase accounting adjustments. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We believe our ability to generate cash flow from operations to reinvest in our business is one of our fundamental financial strengths. Combined with our large cash and short-term investment balance of $988 million at September 30, 2002, and our $1 billion undrawn bank facility, renewed on April 29, 2002 for another five-year term, we have sufficient access to capital resources if required. We anticipate that our operating activities in 2002 will continue to provide us with cash flows necessary for us to continue developing our internal projects and to utilize for potential acquisitions. We generated operating cash flow of $167 million in third quarter 2002, compared to $158 million in the year-earlier period. The higher cash flow is mainly due to the inclusion of operating cash flow from the Homestake Mines. With a portion of our gold expected to be sold at spot market prices for the balance of 2002, the fluctuation in gold prices will affect the amount of our operating cash flow through the remainder of this year. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Our principal investing activities are for sustaining capital at our existing operating properties, new mine development and property and company acquisitions. Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures for the third quarter 2002 totaled $99 million, compared to $130 million in the same period in 2001. The decline is principally due to higher amounts spent in 2001 at Goldstrike, mainly relating to deferred stripping, as well as higher activity at Bulyanhulu and Pascua in third quarter 2001. Principal expenditures in third quarter 2002 included $46 million in North America, comprised primarily of deferred stripping and underground development at Goldstrike. In Tanzania, capital expenditures included $12 million spent at the Bulyanhulu Mine on underground development. In Australia, capital expenditures were $20 million to cover underground development and new mining equipment, while in South America capital expenditures totaled $21 million, primarily for Pierina ($7 million), Alto Chicama ($7 million) and engineering and development work at Veladera and Pascua-Lama ($7 million). FINANCING ACTIVITIES During third quarter 2002, our cash outflow from financing activities was nil, compared with an outflow of $9 million in the year-earlier period. In third quarter 2001, the outflow principally related to repayment of long-term debt obligations. OUTLOOK We believe considerable growth opportunities exist within our existing asset base, not only from our new pipeline of projects but from our operating mines as well. Our assumption is that consolidation and rationalization of the gold industry will continue. Our strong balance sheet and substantial cash flows position us to participate in that consolidation should we choose, in ways that add value to our Company. For the balance of the year, 50 percent of planned production is expected to be sold at an average price of $365 per ounce. The balance of production is expected to be sold either at spot prices, or delivered into our forward contracts at prices similar to spot prices. Overall for 2002, we remain on track to produce 5.7 million ounces at an average cash cost of $183 per ounce, due to lower than planned performance at several operations. Total production costs are expected to reach $277 per ounce including purchase accounting adjustments. The company expects exploration and business development expenses to be approximately $50 million. Capital spending is expected to total $334 million (excluding deferred stripping costs of $126 million) due to increased activity at Alto Chicama and costs incurred at Veladero. Overall, we enter the last quarter of 2002 with the strongest balance sheet in the gold industry, a portfolio of high-quality, long-life properties, a promising growth pipeline with a growth strategy to bring it on stream - and a cash position of $988 million, with no net debt. NON-GAAP MEASURES We have included measures of earnings before non-hedge derivative gains and losses and operating cash flow excluding payments of previously accrued merger related costs, because we believe that this information will assist investors' BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 3 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS understanding of the level of our core earnings and to assess our performance in 2002 compared to the prior year. We believe that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") do not fully illustrate our core earnings. These non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP performance measures. Reconciliation of Net Income Before Derivative Transactions to GAAP Net Income

We have included cash costs per ounce data because we understand that certain investors use this information to determine the Company's ability to generate cash flow for use in investing and other activities. We also make reference to the term "free cash flow", which we define as cash flow from operations less cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment. This cash is available to reinvest in our business or to return to shareholders, either through dividends or share repurchases. We believe that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP do not fully illustrate the ability of the operating mines to generate cash flow. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP.

Total cash costs per ounce data is calculated in accordance with The Gold Institute Production Cost Standard (the "Standard"). The Gold Institute is a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and includes leading North American gold producers. Adoption of the Standard is voluntary, and the data presented may not be comparable to data presented by other gold producers. Cash costs per ounce are derived from amounts included in the Statements of Income and include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, royalties and production taxes, but exclude amortization, reclamation costs, financing costs, and capital, development and exploration. Continuity Schedule of the Change in the Mark-to-Market Value of the Gold and Silver Hedge Position The estimated fair value of the gold contracts at September 30, 2002 was approximately $301 million negative, and the fair value of the silver contracts was $19 million positive. These values are based on the net present value of cash flows under the contracts, based on a gold spot price of $324 per ounce, silver spot price of $4.51 per ounce, and market rates for Libor and gold and silver lease rates. The year-to-date change in the fair value of the Company's gold contracts is detailed as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value as at December 31, 2001 $ 356 Impact of $152 million realized gains in the period to date (152) Impact of change in spot price (from $279 per ounce to $324 per ounce) (883) Impact of contracts added (21) Implied contango period to date 109 Impact of change in valuation inputs other than spot metal prices (e.g. interest rates, lease rates, and volatility) 290 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value as at September 30, 2002 $ (301) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mark-to-market value of the gold contracts would approach zero (breakeven) at a spot gold price of approximately $307 per ounce, assuming all other variables are constant.

(1) Restated (note 2A) Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (CDN GAAP) Tabular dollar amounts in millions of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, Canadian GAAP basis. References to C$ and A$ are to Canadian and Australian dollars, respectively. 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with respect to the preparation of interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by Canadian GAAP in the preparation of our annual consolidated financial statements. Except as disclosed in note 2, the accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the three years ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of results for the periods presented have been reflected in these financial statements. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2002. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the three years ended December 31, 2001. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2 ACCOUNTING CHANGES A Revenue recognition Effective January 1, 2002, we have changed our accounting policy for revenue recognition. Previously, revenue from the sale of gold and by-products was recognized when the product was in saleable form; a sales agreement had been entered into that established quantities and price; and collectibility was reasonably assured. Under our amended revenue recognition policy, which is consistent with our accounting policy under United States generally accepted accounting principles, revenue is recognized when the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred in accordance with the terms of the arrangement; the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. For gold bullion sold under spot deferred contracts or in the spot market, revenue is recognized on transfer of title to the gold to counterparties. For gold concentrate, revenue is recognized on transfer of legal title to the concentrate to third party smelters based on the estimated gold and silver content of the concentrate at market spot prices. Adjustments to accounts receivable between the date of recognition and the settlement date, caused by changes in the market prices for gold and silver, are reflected in the statement of income when they occur. This accounting change has been applied retroactively with restatement of all prior periods presented. The effect of the change on the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 was an increase in net income by $12 million and $2 million, respectively, net of income tax effects of $5 million and $4 million, respectively, as well as a cumulative reduction of retained earnings at December 31, 2001 of $12 million, net of income tax effects of $1 million. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 6 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS B Goodwill and other intangible assets On January 1, 2002, we changed our accounting policy for goodwill and other intangible assets as required by CICA Handbook section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("CICA 3062"). Under this new standard, goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life, are no longer amortized to income over time, but tested for impairment on adoption of the standard and at least annually thereafter to ensure that the fair value remains greater than, or equal to, book value. Any excess of book value over fair value would be charged to income in the period in which the impairment is determined. In accordance with the requirements of CICA 3062, we have adopted this new accounting standard prospectively, and amounts presented for prior periods have not been restated. C Accounting for stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the new recommendations for accounting for stock-based compensation as required by CICA Handbook section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments ("CICA 3870"). CICA 3870 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services. It applies to transactions, including non-reciprocal transactions, in which an enterprise grants shares of common stock, stock options, or other equity instruments, or incurs liabilities based on the price of common stock or other equity instruments. The recommendations of CICA 3870 are generally applied prospectively to awards granted on or after the date of adoption, except that retroactive application, without restatement, is required for outstanding awards at January 1, 2002 where the awards call for settlement in cash or other assets, or for stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. As permitted by CICA 3870, we have elected not to apply fair value accounting and to measure compensation cost using the intrinsic value method for awards of stock options awarded to employees under our stock based compensation plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost will be recognized for our stock options whose exercise price was equal to the market price on the date of grant. Entities that do not apply the fair value based method of accounting are required to disclose for each period, for which an income statement is provided, the pro forma net income and net income per share, as if the fair value based accounting method had been used to account for stock-based compensation cost. Details of pro forma net income and net income per share are set out in note 3B. Under CICA 3870, awards under our Restricted Stock Unit plan (the "RSU plan") are required to be accounted for based on their fair value, which is consistent with our existing accounting policy for these awards. 3 CAPITAL STOCK A Net income per share Net income per share was calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 which amounted to 540 million shares (2001 - 396 million shares). Diluted net income per share reflects the dilutive effect of the exercise of the common share purchase options outstanding as at the end of the period. The number of shares for the diluted net income per share calculation for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 was 541 million shares and 396 million shares, respectively.

CICA 3870 encourages, but does not require, companies to include in compensation cost the fair value of stock options granted to employees. A company that does not adopt the fair-value method must disclose the cost of stock compensation awards, at their fair value on the date the award is granted. The fair value of common share purchase options granted in the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 was $2 million, estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: a 6-year expected term, 30% volatility, interest rates of 6% and an expected dividend yield of 1.5%. Under CICA 3870, the cost of stock compensation, including amortization of options issued prior to the implementation of the standard, and the resulting pro forma net income and net income per share would be as follows:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock compensation cost $ 5 $ 6 $ 10 $ 20 Pro forma net income $ 33 $ 57 $ 108 $ 186 Pro forma net income per share (dollars) $ 0.06 $ 0.14 $ 0.20 $ 0.47 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 8 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS A Derivative instruments We utilize over-the-counter ("OTC") contracts as the primary basis for entering into derivative transactions. These privately negotiated agreements, compared to exchange traded contracts, allow us to incorporate favourable credit, tenor and flexible terms into the contracts. The underlyings in the contracts include commodities, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and bond indices with diversified credit exposure. We do not enter into derivative instruments which we would consider to be leveraged.

1 Net of 300,000 ounces of gold contracts purchased 2 Net of 150,000 ounces of gold calls purchased In addition to the above, we have off-take contracts which allow (but do not commit) Barrick to sell 1.8 million ounces of gold spread over 10 years, at the then prevailing spot price. The Company has previously announced that it anticipates a reduction in its forward gold sales position to approximately 12 million ounces by the end of 2003, based on current market conditions. This reduction is planned primarily through scheduled deliveries from production, but also through opportunistic early delivery of production into certain contracts. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 9 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (i) Derivative instruments accounted for as executory sales contracts Spot deferred sales contracts We have entered into spot deferred sales contracts, with various counterparties, that establish selling prices for future gold production, and which therefore act as an economic hedge against possible price fluctuations in gold. The contracts have a final delivery date of up to 15 years from inception, but we have the right at our sole discretion to set a delivery date for any Spot Deferred Sales Contracts during this 15-year period from inception. At the time a delivery date is rescheduled, the contract price is adjusted based on the difference between the prevailing forward gold market price and the original contract price. The average price of the spot deferred sales contracts reflects established and expected future price assumptions. Prices are fixed on 100% of the contracts through 2005. Beyond 2005, the expected prices incorporate an average lease rate assumption of 1.75%. Variations between the lease rate assumption and the actual lease rates will impact the final realized selling prices. Lease rate exposure is managed and accounted for separately from our executory sales contracts, and the economic impact flows through our earnings each quarter as part of "non-hedge derivative losses". The outstanding lease rate swaps at September 30, 2002, that we utilize to manage our lease rate exposure were as follows:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maturity 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007+ Total - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gold lease rate swaps Receive fixed, pay floating Notional (thousands of ounces) - 150 400 595 1,016 3,155 5,316 Fixed rate (%) - 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.6% 4.1% 3.5% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Price Sales Contracts Variable Price Sales Contracts are contracts whereby we will deliver a specified quantity of gold on a future date that is determined by us. The contracts have a final delivery date of up to 15 years from inception, but we have the right at our sole discretion to set a delivery date for any Variable Price Sales Contract during this 15-year period from inception. All of the Variable Price Sales Contracts have expected delivery dates in 2005 and beyond. The contract price equals the gold spot price subject to a specified maximum ("cap") based on market conditions in the years indicated in the table above, plus a fixed premium payable to Barrick. The contract price will be adjusted in the same manner as price adjustments to spot deferred contracts for the period from these dates to the expected delivery date in 2005 and beyond. Certain of these contracts also have a specified minimum ("floor") price.

(i) Cash flow hedges We use forward and zero cost min-max currency contracts to economically hedge exposures arising from operating expenses and capital expenditures denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. The specific terms and notional amounts of the contracts are determined based on management's assessment of forecasted future cash flows relating to these expenditures. At September 30, 2002, we had elected hedge accounting treatment for Canadian dollar contracts with a total notional amount of C $608 million, and Australian dollar contracts with a total notional amount of A $1,165 million. In addition, we have elected for certain of our receive fixed interest rate swaps, with a total notional amount of $525 million, to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of expected future interest receipts arising on our cash and short-term investments. BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 11 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 6 CONTINGENCIES A Environmental Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal, provincial and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. We conduct our operations so as to protect public health and the environment and we believe that our operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. B Litigation and claims In October 1997, Homestake Canada Inc. ("HCI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick, entered into an agreement with Inmet Mining Corporation ("Inmet") to purchase the Troilus mine in Quebec for $110 million plus working capital. In December 1997, HCI terminated the agreement after determining that, on the basis of due diligence studies, conditions to closing the arrangement would not be satisfied. On February 23, 1998, Inmet filed suit against HCI in the British Columbia Supreme Court, disputing the termination of the agreement and alleging that HCI had breached the agreement. On January 15, 2002, the Supreme Court of British Columbia released its decision in the matter and found in favour of Inmet and against HCI. Specifically, the Court held that Inmet should be awarded equitable damages in the amount of C$88.2 million, which amount was accrued at December 31, 2001. The Court did not award Inmet pre-judgement interest. Inmet requested the Court to re-open the trial to permit Inmet to make submissions on its claim for pre-judgement interest from the date of the breach by HCI. The request to re-open was denied by the court on May 17, 2002. On February 7, 2002, HCI filed a Notice of Appeal of the decision with the British Columbia Court of Appeal. Inmet filed a notice of Appeal of the decision denying Inmet the pre-judgment interest. A letter of credit in the approximate amount of C$95 million was posted on August 20, 2002 by HCI with the British Columbia Court of Appeal, pending a decision on the appeal. On April 30, 1998, we were added as a defendant in a class action lawsuit initiated against Bre-X Minerals Ltd., certain of its directors and officers or former directors and officers and others in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division. The class action alleges, among other things, that statements made by us in connection with our efforts to secure the right to develop and operate the Busang gold deposit in East Kalimantan, Indonesia were materially false and misleading and omitted to state material facts relating to the preliminary due diligence investigation undertaken by us in late 1996. On July 13, 1999, the Court dismissed the claims against us and several other defendants on the grounds that the plaintiffs had failed to state a claim under United States securities laws. On August 19, 1999, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint restating their claims against us and certain other defendants and on June 14, 2000 filed a further amended complaint, the Fourth Amended Complaint. On March 31, 2001, the Court granted in part and denied in part our Motion to Dismiss the Fourth Amended Complaint. As a result, we remain a defendant in the case. We believe that the remaining claims against us are without merit. We filed our formal answer to the Fourth Amended Complaint on April 27, 2001 denying all relevant allegations of the plaintiffs against us. Discovery in the case has been stayed by the Court pending the Court's decision on whether or not to certify the case as a class action. The amount of potential loss, if any, which we may incur arising out of the plaintiffs claims is not currently determinable. From time to time, we are involved in various claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. We are also subject to reassessment for income and mining taxes for certain years. We do not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceedings related to any potential tax assessments or other matters, or any amount which we may be required to pay by reason thereof, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or future results of operations.

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 13 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 8 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS A Homestake Mining Company On December 14, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick acquired Homestake Mining Company ("Homestake"). Homestake was a global gold mining company with its primary operations in the United States, Australia, Canada and Argentina. Under the terms of the agreement, approximately 139.5 million shares of Barrick common stock were issued in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Homestake common shares based upon an exchange ratio of 0.53:1. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase for Canadian GAAP purposes, with the results of Homestake's operations included in the consolidated financial statements effective December 31, 2001. The aggregate purchase price was $2,250 million including common stock of $2,220 million and the fair value of stock options issued to Homestake employees of $30 million. In addition, we incurred $18 million in share issue costs, which have been charged against capital stock. The value of the 139.5 million common shares issued, was determined based on the average market price of the Barrick common shares over the five-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. A valuation has been undertaken to allocate the cost of the purchase to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including intangibles and goodwill. Final adjustments will be made to the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities once the valuation process is completed. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the effective date of acquisition based on the results of the valuation process completed to date. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Current assets $ 206 Property, plant and equipment 855 Other long term assets 151 Intangible assets 539 Goodwill 1,295 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets acquired 3,046 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Current liabilities (196) Long-term debt (74) Future income taxes (196) Other long-term obligations (330) - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities assumed (796) - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Net assets acquired $ 2,250 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 14 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Details of acquired intangible assets are as follows;

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 15 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 10 HOMESTAKE CANADA INC. ("HCI") In connection with a 1998 acquisition, HCI issued 11.1 million HCI exchangeable shares. Each HCI exchangeable share is exchangeable for 0.53 of a Barrick common share at any time at the option of the holder and has essentially the same voting, dividend (payable in Canadian dollars), and other rights as 0.53 of a Barrick common share. A share of special voting stock, which was issued to the transfer agent in trust for the holders of the HCI exchangeable shares, provides the mechanism for holders of the HCI exchangeable shares to receive their voting rights. As at September 30, 2002, 1.6 million of the HCI exchangeable shares were outstanding and are equivalent to 0.8 million Barrick common shares. As at September 30, 2002, we had reserved 0.8 million Barrick shares for issuance on exchange of the HCI exchangeable shares outstanding. Summarized consolidated financial information for HCI, prepared in accordance with US GAAP, is as follows:
