BARRICK PROGRESSES EXTENSION OF

LONG-TERM VALUE DELIVERY RUNWAY

ALL AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS   Toronto, August 8, 2023 — Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) is on target to meet its gold and copper production guidance for 2023 and continues to advance major projects which will drive value delivery in the long term through organic growth, president and chief executive Mark Bristow said today.   Commenting on the company’s Q2 results, Bristow said improved performances from the Carlin complex in Nevada, the Kibali gold mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Lumwana copper mine in Zambia have laid a sound foundation for production in the second half of the year which, as guided, is expected to surpass the first. Key drivers of higher anticipated the H2 results are the Q2 completion of major maintenance projects at Nevada Gold Mines (“NGM”) and the commissioning of the plant expansion at the Pueblo Viejo gold mine in the Dominican Republic.   Compared to Q1, gold production in Q2 was up 6% at just over 1 million ounces¹ while copper production increased by 22% to 107 million pounds.¹ Operating cash flow rose by 7% to $832 million, net earnings increased by 143% to 17 cents per share, and adjusted net earnings² increased by 36% to 19 cents per share. The quarterly dividend was maintained at 10 cents. Year-on-year, the total recordable injury frequency rate (“TRIFR”) was reduced by 8% and greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 12%.³   CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 2 PRESS RELEASE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The massive Pueblo Viejo expansion project is making significant progress with the process plant currently ramping up to full capacity. The plant expansion and associated new tailings storage facility will extend the Tier One¹¹ mine’s life to beyond 2040 and is designed to sustain gold production above 800,000 ounces pear year (100% basis) going forward.¹² In Papua New Guinea, the resolution of the tax dispute has allowed us to work toward the re-opening of the Porgera gold mine by the end of the year¹³, with a potential Tier One production profile, while the prefeasibility study on a Super Pit at Lumwana is driving its transformation into another Tier One asset, capable of producing into the 2060s.

In Pakistan, Barrick continues to make solid progress on the Reko Diq project. Reko Diq is targeting first production in 2028, at the same time that the Lumwana expansion is expected to be completed. Together, these projects will elevate Barrick into the premier league of copper producers, in line with its strategy of significantly expanding its copper portfolio.

Exploration, traditionally Barrick’s key growth driver, is advancing significant resource and reserve growth opportunities at Carlin, Cortez and Turquoise Ridge in Nevada, Veladero in Argentina and Loulo, Kibali and Lumwana in Africa. Barrick is also continuing to expand its global exploration footprint and has consolidated new prospective ground holdings in the USA, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Chile, Tanzania and Côte d’Ivoire.

“Our asset base is the best in the business and it gives us a platform from which we can clearly see and plan for the future, managing the challenges and maximizing the opportunities. At the halfway mark of this year, we’ve again advanced significantly towards our goal of building the world’s most valued gold and copper mining company, and we have the strategy, the means and the motivation to achieve that,” Bristow said.

BARRICK DECLARES Q2 DIVIDEND

Barrick today announced the declaration of a dividend of $0.10 per share for the second quarter of 2023.

The dividend is consistent with the company’s Performance Dividend Policy announced at the start of 2022.

The Q2 2023 dividend will be paid on September 15, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 31, 2023.

“As a result of the continuing overall strength of our business and balance sheet, we have maintained the distribution of a robust base dividend to our shareholders, while our Performance Dividend Policy provides the potential for additional upside going forward,” said senior executive vice-president and chief financial officer Graham Shuttleworth.

THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF RESPONSIBLE MINING

Effective and equitable socio-economic development worldwide would not be possible without the transformative contribution of responsible mining, Mark Bristow said at the group’s third annual Sustainability Update on July 25.

Bristow said Barrick’s sustainability strategy was geared to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in line with its commitment to transparency, its recently published Sustainability Report for 2022 showed how its operations contributed to or impacted on specific SDGs.

“We believe mining is the flywheel of development and therefore the entire industry is essential to the achievement of the SDGs,” he said.

Barrick’s Sustainability Executive, Grant Beringer, said the group was also making progress towards complete conformance with the latest best practices, including the International Council on Mining and Metals’ Performance Expectations, the World Gold Council’s Responsible Gold Mining Principles and the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management. Barrick continues to meet or exceed its environmental targets, including recycling and reusing water — up to 83% from 80% in 2021 — and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 12% year-on-year and 6% for 2022.

“We believe the mining industry is a catalyst for socioeconomic development through the infrastructure we build, the jobs we create, the businesses we support through our supply chains and the investments we make in local communities,” Beringer said.

The group’s current key focus areas are: using its purchasing power to drive down Scope 3 emissions from suppliers; developing a tool to measure its contribution to the conservation and regeneration of biodiversity; continuing to provide ESG raters with the latest sustainability-related information; and progressing the environmental and social studies at the giant Reko Diq project in Balochistan, Pakistan, where it is already delivering on its community development commitments, far ahead of the targeted first production in 2028.

“Done right, the mining industry is a powerful force for good in the global drive for social and economic development,” Bristow said.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 3 PRESS RELEASE

NGM’s operating muscle has been beefed up with the ahead-of-schedule commissioning of the first seven of a new 22-unit Komatsu 930 fleet due this year.

FOCUS ON FLEXIBILITY AT NEVADA

With the completion of major maintenance shutdowns at NGM, and a significantly improved performance from Carlin, the focus on driving flexibility and reducing production risk has intensified.

NGM chairman Mark Bristow says while the superb quality of the complex’s assets and its enormous untapped potential make Nevada the value foundation on which operator and majority shareholder Barrick is growing its business, it has processing constraints which need to be overcome by boosting operational flexibility.

“We see at each of the three Tier One assets (Carlin, Cortez and Turquoise Ridge) multiple opportunities to strengthen the life of mine with near-mine growth using the current infrastructure in the midterm (Leeville, Ren), new projects that can extend the use of the processing facilities (Robertson), and a long-term portfolio targeting significant brownfields and greenfields (Fourmile, Turquoise Ridge Underground) to sustain current production past the 15-year window.”

“We’re planning to achieve this by increasing processing and mining run times, stepping up development at all the underground mines, improving and standardizing

maintenance management, identifying and implementing efficiency initiatives, and tightening control of compliance with mine plans,” he says.

“Barrick’s mantra is that the best assets need to be managed by the best people so there’s been an equally strong focus on building a management team and a workforce with the skills and orientation required to make the most of the world’s largest gold mining complex. In this regard, it’s worth noting that the training center we established at NGM has already produced more than 170 frontline and support staff graduates.”

During the past quarter, NGM’s operating muscle was beefed up with the ahead-of-schedule commissioning of the first seven of a new 22-unit Komatsu 930 fleet due this year. The rest of a total of 62 are due to be commissioned over the next three years.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 4 PRESS RELEASE

WHERE WOMEN SHINE

On June 15, Barrick joined the rest of the industry in celebrating the International Day of Women in Mining. As Mark Bristow notes, however, acknowledging and encouraging the important role women should be playing in this traditionally male-dominated business is an everyday strategic priority for Barrick.

“People are the ultimate resource, and we invest the same amount of attention into finding and developing them as we do in exploring for mineral resources,” Bristow says. “There’s a strong commercial as well as a moral motivation to make gender diversity part of this strategy. The communities in which we operate include large numbers of capable and committed women who just need an opportunity to show what they can contribute.

“That’s why we have recruitment drives and training programs specifically targeted at women as well as initiatives to raise awareness of the value of female economic empowerment in their communities.

“At our Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic, for example, women represented 51% of new hires and 35% of internal promotions last year, and 23% of its workforce is now female. Across the group we had almost 3,000 female employees, representing 12% of our global workforce at the end of 2022, with 18% of management positions and 16% of senior management positions being held by women. We’re working hard to make that proportion larger.”

LUMWANA’S BURIED TREASURE

HOW BARRICK CREATES VALUE BY UNCOVERING POTENTIAL

Barrick’s post-merger focus on developing a clear understanding of the geological structures underlying its assets has unlocked enormous potential across the group, most recently at the 100% owned Lumwana copper mine in Zambia.

The transformation of this mine into a potential Tier One operation with a significant free cash flow and a life expectancy into the 2060s is well under way, with the accelerated pre-feasibility study scheduled for completion towards the end of next year. Pre-construction will start in 2025 with 2028 targeted for first production. Concurrent with the expansion, the existing process plant will be upgraded to support the new mine life.

“Resource conversion of the Chimiwungo Super Pit extension has started and the results to date have confirmed the deposit’s potential to provide the foundation for the Lumwana expansion project. Meanwhile resource definition drilling at the near-surface, low-strip Kamisengo deposit has shown that it can support the process plant feed during the stripping phase of the super pit,” says Sebastiaan Bock, chief operating officer of Barrick’s Africa & Middle East region.

Mark Bristow says when the new Lumwana and Reko Diq both come on stream, which is currently expected in 2028,

they will promote Barrick to the premier league of copper producers alongside its peerless gold portfolio.

“Both these projects demonstrate Barrick’s unique ability to extract every ounce or pound of value from assets already in its portfolio,” he says.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 5 PRESS RELEASE

ORGANIC GROWTH IN MINERAL RESERVES SUPPORTS

BARRICK’S 10-YEAR PRODUCTION PROFILE

Exploration continues to be the driving force that sets Barrick apart from its peers by delivering significant and sustained growth in attributable, proven and probable reserves.

“Since the 2019 merger with Randgold, we’ve replaced 125% of the gold depleted by mining (exclusive of divestments and acquisitions on a gold equivalent basis)¹⁴ by unlocking the full value of Barrick’s assets and successfully expanding the asset base through brownfields exploration,” says Simon Bottoms, mineral resource management and evaluation executive.

“One of the big advantages of having high-quality assets in the world’s most prospective regions is that we have a long replacement planning runway. A key group deliverable is the organic replacement of depletion on a rolling three-year basis. Our focus for the rest of this year is on building the mineral resources that will serve as the foundation for future conversion into reserves.”

In Nevada, Barrick continues to work on multiple Tier One targets that are expected to materially grow the resource and reserve potential of one of the world’s most endowed mining complexes. In the Africa & Middle East region, resource conversion drilling at Kibali, Yalea at Loulo-Gounkoto and Bulyanhulu is expected to again replace depletion this year.

“Looking ahead to 2024, the completion of the prefeasibility study on the Lumwana Super Pit expansion project and the updated feasibility study on the Reko Diq project in Pakistan is expected to deliver organic growth over and above annual depletion in the group’s mineral reserves. Next year’s reserve growth is also expected to be supported by the completion of conversion drilling in the greater Leeville complex and elsewhere at NGM,” says Bottoms.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 6 PRESS RELEASE

A PROUD HISTORY, A BRIGHT FUTURE

Barrick marked its 40th birthday this year, celebrating its growth from the modest, small-scale operation started by Canadian mining pioneer Peter Munk in the early 1980s.

When Barrick listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange on May 2, 1983, it had a market capitalization of C$100 million and produced 30,000 ounces of gold in its first full year of production. Since its merger with Randgold in 2019, the company aspires to be the world’s most valued gold and copper business with the best assets managed by the best people and delivering the best returns and benefits for all its stakeholders.

Barrick today has a multi billion dollar market capitalization and produced 4.1 million ounces of gold and 440 million pounds of copper in 2022¹ from a mine and project portfolio spanning 19 countries.

Ringing the closing bell of the Toronto Stock Exchange to commemorate Barrick’s 40th anniversary.

BRINGING BACK WHITE RHINOS TO THE DRC

Barrick was the sole donor in the recent translocation of 16 southern white rhinos to the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Garamba National Park, near our Kibali Gold Mine, in collaboration with the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN), African Parks and &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, from where the rhinos were sourced. Northern white rhinos were last seen in the park in 2006 and are now considered extinct.

This latest sustainability initiative forms part of Barrick’s longstanding partnership with African Parks and Garamba, which has seen the company provide more than $2.5 million for tracking collars, fuel for observation planes, rescue and rehabilitation programs as well as improvements to critical infrastructure such as roads and bridges.

Additionally, Barrick will fund the translocation of a further 60 white rhinos from South Africa to Garamba over the next three years. The project is aligned with Barrick’s biodiversity strategy which places importance on restoring and conserving areas with high conservation value and the species within those habitats.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 7 PRESS RELEASE

Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow and Pueblo Viejo president Juana Barceló speak to local media during a briefing on July 27.

A COMPREHENSIVE MULTI-YEAR PROCESS EXTENDS

THE LIFE OF PUEBLO VIEJO TO BEYOND 2040

The Barrick-operated Pueblo Viejo mine continues to advance the engineering design for the El Naranjo tailings storage facility (TSF) project which will extend its life to 2040 and beyond.¹² The plant expansion and associated new TSF is designed to sustain gold production above 800,000 ounces per year (100% basis) going forward.¹²

Speaking at a local media briefing on July 27, Mark Bristow said that the comprehensive engineering, environmental and community process, conducted over several years, would enable Pueblo Viejo to double the enormous contribution it had already made to the Dominican Republic’s economy.

In line with its commitment to transparency, Bristow detailed the process leading up to the issuance of the environmental licence recently received for the new TSF. This started with a comprehensive site selection in line with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) and in consultation with the Government and communities.

Following the site selection process, an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) was completed which considered potential impacts associated with the preferred and alternative sites. This involved the completion of numerous specialist studies undertaken by independent in-

country and international experts, including an independent peer review.

The company consulted with interested and affected parties over the course of four years, including more than 3,000 community engagements and two open public participation meetings. In line with the company’s commitment to transparency and best practice, open public meetings were advertised in local and national media and allowed sufficient opportunity for all parties to raise concerns, questions and comments throughout the process.

“Mining is the driver for global development and to date, Pueblo Viejo has paid a total of $3.2 billion in direct and indirect taxes since commencing commercial production in 2013. The extension of the mine’s life will allow Pueblo Viejo to continue being a major creator of value for the Dominican Republic and its people far into the future,” Bristow said.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 8 PRESS RELEASE

TWIGA TRANSFORMS TANZANIAN MINING,

SETS STANDARD FOR INDUSTRY

Twiga Minerals, the joint venture between the Tanzanian government and Barrick, has revitalized the country’s gold mining industry through a partnership that should serve as a model for similar operations, particularly in developing regions, says Mark Bristow.

Briefing media at a visit to the North Mara mine in July, Bristow said, in 2019, when Barrick took control over North Mara and Bulyanhulu — the mines that now form the Twiga complex – both were rundown and at a virtual standstill due to a deadlocked dispute between the government and the previous operators.

“We settled the dispute and established Twiga as a 50:50 economic benefits sharing partnership, which also vested a 16% shareholding in each mine with the government. We reinvented the mines which now, as a combined complex, produce gold at a Tier One level. So successful are these operations that, since Barrick’s buyout of the minority shareholders, they have contributed more than $2.8 billion to the Tanzanian economy in the form of taxes, levies, dividends, salaries and payments to local suppliers,” Bristow said.

“Equally important, we have fixed the environmental, land claims and human rights issues that destroyed these mines’ reputations and have restored their social licence to operate as an integral member of their communities. Since its establishment, Twiga has invested more than $12.5 million in landmark projects — identified in collaboration with the community development committees we established at the mines — to provide access to quality healthcare, educational facilities, potable water and alternative sources of income. Among these is an irrigation system which is expected to substantially improve production for more than 2,350 farmers, as well as a potable water tower that provides water to nearly 35,000 residents.”

Twiga has also committed $30 million to a Future Forward School Program. In partnership with the government, it will build 1,090 classrooms and other facilities across 161 schools nationwide, to accommodate some 49,000 students who started their A-levels in July this year. In addition, it has pledged $40 million to construct a 73 kilometre road from Kahama to Kakola.

Operationally, Bristow said the Twiga complex was continuing its strong production performance and was well on track to achieve its guidance for the year. Both mines are maintaining a strong focus on the health and safety of their workers, and in April Bulyanhulu won the Overall Tanzanian OSHA1 Compliance Award for 2023 in the Mining Sector Category and North Mara was second runner-up.

Globally, Barrick has a policy of prioritizing local employment and at Twiga this has delivered a workforce which is 96% Tanzanian, with almost half drawn from the communities around the mines.

Bristow said conversion drilling at North Mara was successfully replacing the reserves depleted by mining and first ore was mined at the mine’s new Gena pit last quarter. Additional opportunities for resource conversion have been identified at both mines.

“Barrick is committed to expanding its presence in Tanzania from our base here. We are currently consolidating key prospecting licences in the country with a view to expanding our existing reserves and resources as well as to discovering new world-class gold deposits,” he said.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 9 PRESS RELEASE

KIBALI SET TO ROLL OUT NEW 10-YEAR PLAN

ON BACK OF PRODUCTION RAMP-UP

AND RESERVE REPLACEMENT

Africa’s biggest gold mine, Kibali, stepped up production significantly in the past quarter as part of its planned ramp-up and is well on track to achieve its annual guidance. At the same time, successful exploration is expected to more than replace reserves depleted by mining again this year.

Briefing media in Kinshasa, Mark Bristow said the 10-year-old mine was now rolling out its business plan for the next decade, securing its status as one of the company’s elite portfolio of Tier One mines — those capable of producing 500,000 ounces or more of gold for at least 10 years at a cost below the industry average.

The mine draws most of its power from its three hydropower stations on the Kibali river. A planned 16MW solar farm, designed to back up the hydropower during the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC’s) dry season, is expected to increase the renewable power contribution to the mine’s energy grid from 79% to 88%, with Kibali running entirely on renewables during the wet season.

Bristow said the creation of a world-class mine and a thriving local economy in one of the DRC’s remotest and least developed regions represented a triumph for the successful partnership between Barrick, the country’s government and its host communities.

“Our stakeholders in the DRC have benefited enormously from Kibali, which over the past 10 years has contributed

$4.6 billion to the country in the form of dividends, royalties and taxes. In line with our local procurement policy, Kibali gives preference to Congolese suppliers and contractors, who to date have received $2.5 billion from the mine,” Bristow said.

“Barrick’s commitment to the DRC is also evident from the extensive support we have given the Garamba National Park, contributing to the conservation of high value biodiversity. Most recently we led the drive to reintroduce white rhinos to the park, where they were last seen 17 years ago. Last month 16 of these rhinos were successfully introduced to Garamba with a further 60 scheduled for delivery over the next three years.”

Kibali’s Cahier des Charges program launched eleven projects in 2023 with seven of these scheduled for completion this July. The mine is investing $8.9 million in this program over five years. The community development fund is also implementing a number of new projects.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 10 PRESS RELEASE

SUCCESSFUL EXPLORATION CONTINUES

TO EXTEND TONGON’S LIFE OF MINE

Originally scheduled for closure in 2020, the life of Barrick’s Tongon gold mine continues to be extended through successful exploration campaigns.

Tongon general manager Hilaire Diarra says that since Tongon poured its first gold in 2010, the mine has contributed $2.2 billion to the Ivorian economy in the form of taxes, infrastructure development, salaries and payments to local suppliers.

“Extending its life will help ensure that Tongon is still able to share the value it creates with all its Ivorian stakeholders continuing its investment in community infrastructure development and income-generating projects. Exploration has further delivered the Seydou North, Tongon West and Djinni satellite targets adding to the life of mine. Barrick has

now also been awarded a new exploration permit for Boundiali and drilling is ongoing at the Fonondara conversion project,” he said.

“In spite of the fact that throughout its life Tongon has had to contend with serious operational issues, as well as a challenging socio-political environment, since pouring first gold it has never had an unprofitable quarter, which is a tribute to the dedication of the mine’s successive management teams. At the halfway mark of this year, it is on track to once again achieve its annual production guidance.”

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 11 PRESS RELEASE

SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP WILL

KEEP GOLD SHINING FOR MALI

The 26-year-long partnership between Barrick (previously Randgold) and the state of Mali has built the country’s gold mining industry into a world leader and positioned it strongly for further growth, says Mark Bristow.

Speaking at a media briefing at the Loulo-Gounkoto complex, Bristow said the complex was one of the world’s top 10 gold producers and the biggest business in terms of enterprise value in the whole of West Africa. Together with the Morila mine, the complex has contributed $9.3 billion to the Malian economy and accounted for between 5% and 10% of the country’s GDP over the past 10 years. Loulo-Gounkoto is one of Mali’s largest taxpayers and employers, with a workforce of some 7,000, 97% of whom are Malian nationals. Over the life of the complex the state has received more than 70% of the economic benefits it created.

“We are continuing to invest in the future of Loulo-Gounkoto. Successful exploration is more than replacing the ounces we mine as well as identifying new growth opportunities with the potential to deliver the next generation of major discoveries in the Loulo region. The new underground mine at Gounkoto – the complex’s third – has developed its first production stopes and the Yalea South cutback is ahead of plan,” Bristow said.

“We foresee that the complex will be a major contributor to the Malian economy for years to come. The achievement of that vision will require the continued commitment to the mutually rewarding partnership which has brought us this far

and delivered sustainable benefits to all stakeholders, including the country’s citizens.”

In line with Barrick’s global policy of local procurement, Malian suppliers accounted for 74% of the complex’s purchases, amounting to $298 million, during the first half of this year.

Turning to Loulo-Gounkoto’s operations, Bristow said the complex was continuing to perform strongly and was on track to achieve its production guidance for this year. It remains tightly focused on the safety of its workers and there were no lost-time injuries again during the past quarter.

As part of Barrick’s transition to renewable energy, the complex is extending its solar power installation by 48MW and battery storage system by 38MVA. The project is already feeding 10MW into the mines micro-grid and it is expected that its second phase will be commissioned well ahead of the current end-2024 completion date.

HERITAGE FUND WILDLIFE ENDOWMENT SUPPORTS

HABITAT ENHANCEMENT AND RESTORATION PROJECTS

NGM has established a new Wildlife Endowment, created as an extension of the company’s non-profit employee giving program, the Heritage Fund.

The Wildlife Endowment was established in partnership with the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) as a sustainable environmental fund dedicated to wildlife habitat enhancement and restoration projects supporting wildland fire prevention, restoration, and riparian and stream health initiatives across Nevada.

The Heritage Fund recently approved $5 million of the $20 million commitment by NGM to be earmarked for Wildlife Endowment funding. Once fully funded in mid-2025, any environmental entity able to leverage qualified State or Federal matching grants whose efforts fit within fire prevention, restoration, and riparian and stream health categories will have the opportunity to request funding. One of the many benefits of the Wildlife Endowment is its accessibility to NGM employees, who will have the opportunity to easily donate to the fund and receive an additional 120% NGM match.

“We are very proud of this new environmental endowment, as it aligns with the Heritage Fund’s mission of supporting the sustainability of community programs and initiatives. It is a clear demonstration of our commitment to environmental stewardship alongside NDOW and other environmental agencies who are already doing great work in our communities and across the state,” says NGM executive managing director Peter Richardson.

VELADERO RECOGNIZED AS FIRST ARGENTINE MINE

TO IMPLEMENT TSM STANDARD

Veladero has become the first mine in Argentina to achieve compliance with the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) Standard, earning a special distinction from the Argentine Chamber of Mining (CAEM) during the Arminera 2023 summit, the industry’s flagship event in the country.

“Attaining TSM verification for Veladero is a testament to our commitment to society, especially our employees, neighbouring communities, and future generations, in developing sustainable mining practices. The transformation effort at Veladero spanned four years of intense work across all departments in the company. Veladero has confirmed its status as an open and transparent partner, fully accountable to society,” said Marcelo Álvarez, executive director of government relations for Barrick South America, upon receiving the special mention.

Towards Sustainable Mining is a standard developed by the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) that sets quality and control standards to ensure responsible and transparent mining operations. The system consists of protocols with ratings that cover the most relevant environmental and social aspects, including biodiversity conservation, community engagement, human rights, and mine closure, among others.

BARRICK TARGETS 2028

FOR FIRST PRODUCTION FROM REKO DIQ

Mark Bristow says with the updated feasibility study on the giant Reko Diq copper-gold project making rapid progress, the company is aiming to start production in 2028.

Speaking at the inaugural session of Pakistan’s first Minerals Summit on August 1, Bristow said the signing of the New Reko Diq agreement last year was a landmark event in the development of a mining industry in Pakistan, a process which will be accelerated by the Minerals Summit.

“I hope the momentum created by this event will be sustained by successive efforts to unlock this sector’s full potential and build its capacity by attracting other foreign investors to follow Barrick, to the lasting benefit of Pakistan and its people,” he said.

“There is a growing demand for metals and minerals, especially copper, and the challenge for mining companies

and their host governments is to ensure that these resources are extracted in a responsible and equitable manner. Barrick believes in the principle of mutual advantage and shares the value its operations create with all stakeholders, including its host countries and communities.”

Bristow noted that Reko Diq was the latest manifestation of Barrick’s partnership model, already successfully applied elsewhere in its global portfolio. Barrick owns 50% of Reko Diq and is developing and will operate the mine. The Balochistan province, which hosts the deposit, has a 25% share and the federal government holds the other 25% through state-owned entities.¹⁵

Reko Diq Mining Company constitutes a 25-member Community Development Committee at Nokkundi in the Chagai district of Balochistan in May 2023.

Barrick continues its social investment program around the Reko Diq project area with the inauguration of a primary school at the Mashki Chah village.

REKO DIQ CONSTITUTES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

COMMITTEE FOR LOCALLY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT

The Reko Diq Mining Company has constituted a 25-member Community Development Committee (CDC) at Nokkundi, the nearest town to Reko Diq, in the Chagai district of Balochistan. The CDC comprises local stakeholders and community leaders who will guide the company’s social investment plan in the area.

Reko Diq country manager Ali Ehsan Rind said: “In all its operations worldwide, Barrick strives to be a good corporate citizen and a genuine partner of the host communities in locally led development. With the formation of this CDC, representing all the key local stakeholders, I am confident that our work will become a catalyst for the social development of the local communities.”

The Nokkundi CDC, formed after an extensive consultation process, has the responsibility to identify social investment initiatives to be undertaken by the company. It is a concrete step to ensuring that Reko Diq delivers social investment projects of significant and lasting benefit to the local communities among whom it will operate.

Reko Diq will be a multi-generational mine with a life of at least 40 years. During peak construction the project is expected to employ 7,500 people and once in production it will create some 4,000 long-term jobs. Barrick’s policy of prioritizing local employment and suppliers will have a positive impact on the local economy.

The company plans to complete the Reko Diq feasibility study update by the end of 2024, with 2028 targeted for first production from the giant copper-gold mine in the country’s Balochistan province. The new Reko Diq agreement ensures that benefits from the project start accruing to the people of Balochistan well before the mine goes into production through advancing royalties and social development investments.

Endnotes

Endnote 1

On an attributable basis.

Endnote 2

“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 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.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

^a. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, net impairment charges were mainly related to miscellaneous assets.

^b. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, acquisition/disposition gains were primarily related to miscellaneous permit and land assets.

^c. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, significant tax adjustments were mainly related to the settlement agreement to resolve the tax dispute at Porgera, adjustments in respect of prior years and the re-measurement of deferred tax balances.

^d. For the three month period ended March 31, 2023 and the six month period ended June 30, 2023, other (income) expense adjustments mainly relate to the $30 million commitment we made towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania, per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership. Other (income) expense adjustments for all periods were also impacted by changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision and care and maintenance expenses at Porgera.

^e. Non-controlling interest and tax effect for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 primarily relates to loss on currency translation.

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

Endnote 3

Total reportable incident frequency rate (“TRIFR”) is a ratio calculated as follows: number of reportable injuries x 1,000,000 hours divided by the total number of hours worked. Reportable injuries include fatalities, lost time injuries, restricted duty injuries, and medically treated injuries.

Endnote 4

“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 prices and to assess our gold 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. The following table reconciles realized prices 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.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

“Free cash flow” is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. Free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized 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 operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. Further details on this non-GAAP financial performance measure are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

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). 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). References to attributable basis means our 100% share of Hemlo and Lumwana, our 61.5% share of NGM, our 60% share of Pueblo Viejo, our 80% share of Loulo-Gounkoto, our 89.7% share of Tongon, our 84% share of North Mara, and Bulyanhulu, our 50% share of Veladero, Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid, our 47.5% share of Porgera and our 45% share of Kibali.

“Total cash costs” per ounce, “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce and “All-in 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 its 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. “All-in costs” per ounce start with “All-in sustaining costs” and adds additional costs that reflect the varying costs of producing gold over the life-cycle of a mine, including: project capital expenditures (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) and other non-sustaining costs (primarily non-sustaining leases, exploration and evaluation costs, community relations costs and general and administrative costs that are not associated with current operations). 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, “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce and “All-in 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, “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce and “All-in 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.sedar.com 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.

b. Other

Other adjustments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 include the removal of total cash costs and by-product credits associated with Pierina, Golden Sunlight, and Buzwagi, which all are producing incidental ounces, of $nil and $3 million, respectively (March 31, 2023: $3 million; June 30, 2022: $7 million and $10 million, respectively).

c. Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests include non-controlling interests related to gold production of $533 million and $1,062 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 (March 31, 2023: $529 million and June 30, 2022: $505 million and $981 million, respectively). 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 sustaining if it supports current mine operations and project if it relates to future projects. Refer to page 50 of Barrick’s Q2 2023 MD&A.

e. Capital expenditures

Capital expenditures are related to our gold sites only and are split between minesite sustaining and project capital expenditures. Project capital expenditures are 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. Significant projects in the current year are the plant expansion project at Pueblo Viejo and the solar projects at NGM and Loulo-Gounkoto. Refer to page 49 of Barrick’s Q2 2023 MD&A.

f. Rehabilitation—accretion and amortization

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

g. Non-controlling interest and copper operations

“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 production taxes 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 and production taxes, 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.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Gold Equivalent Ounces from copper assets are calculated using a gold price of $1,300/oz; and copper price of $3.00/lb.

Estimated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities:

Estimates as of December 31, 2022: Proven mineral reserves of 260 million tonnes grading 2.26g/t, representing 19 million ounces of gold, and 390 million tonnes grading 0.40%, representing 3,500 million pounds of copper. Probable reserves of 1,200 million tonnes grading 1.53g/t, representing 57 million ounces of gold, and 1,100 million tonnes grading 0.37%, representing 8,800 million pounds of copper.

Estimates as of December 31, 2021: Proven mineral reserves of 240 million tonnes grading 2.20 g/t, representing 17 million ounces of gold, and 380 million tonnes grading 0.41%, representing 3,400 million pounds of copper. Probable reserves of 1,000 million tonnes grading 1.60 g/t, representing 53 million ounces of gold, and 1,100 million tonnes grading 0.37%, representing 8,800 million pounds of copper.

Estimates as of December 31, 2020: Proven reserves of 280 million tonnes grading 2.37 g/t, representing 21 million ounces of gold, and 350 million tonnes grading 0.39%, representing 3,000 million pounds of copper. Probable reserves of 990 million tonnes grading 1.46 g/t, representing 47 million ounces of gold, and 1,100 million tonnes grading 0.39%, representing 9,700 million pounds of copper.

Estimates as of December 31, 2019: Proven reserves of 280 million tonnes grading 2.42 g/t, representing 22 million ounces of gold, and 420 million tonnes grading 0.4%, representing 3,700 million pounds of copper. Probable reserves of 1,000 million tonnes grading 1.48 g/t, representing 49 million ounces of gold, and 1,200 million tonnes grading 0.38%, representing 9,800 million pounds of copper. Estimates as of December 31, 2019 reflect Barrick’s acquisition of all of the shares of Acacia Mining plc that it did not already own as of September 17, 2019.

Acquisitions and divestments includes the following: a decrease of 2.2 Moz in proven and probable gold reserves from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020, as a result of the divestiture of Barrick’s Massawa gold project effective March 4, 2020; and a decrease of 0.90 Moz in proven and probable gold reserves from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, as a result of the change in Barrick’s equity interest in Porgera from 47.5% to 24.5% and the net impact of the asset exchange of Lone Tree to i-80 Gold for the remaining 50% of South Arturo that Nevada Gold Mines did not already own.

Reko Diq is a world class copper-gold mine in the making located in Chagai district of Balochistan province, in Pakistan. One of the largest undeveloped copper-gold projects in the world, Reko Diq is owned 50% by Barrick, 25% by three federal state-owned enterprises, 15% by the Province of Balochistan on a fully funded basis and 10% by the Province of Balochistan on a free carried basis. Barrick is now updating the project’s 2010 feasibility and 2011 feasibility expansion studies. This should be completed by 2024, with 2028 targeted for first production.

Reko Diq is expected to have a life of at least 40 years as a truck-and-shovel open pit operation with processing facilities producing a high-quality copper-gold concentrate. Construction is expected in two phases with a combined process capacity of 80 million tonnes per annum.

Reko Diq will be a major contributor to Pakistan’s economy which is expected to have a transformative impact on the Balochistan province where, in addition to the economic benefits it will generate, the mine will also create jobs, promote the growth of a regional economy and invest in development programs.

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. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information only 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. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA 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.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 33 PRESS RELEASE

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; the potential impact of proposed changes to Chilean law on the status of value added tax refunds received in Chile in connection with the development of the Pascua-Lama project; expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States 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, including the issuance of a Record of Decision for the Goldrush Project and/or whether the Goldrush Project will be permitted to advance as currently designed under its Feasibility Study, the environmental license for the construction and operation of the El Naranjo tailings storage facility for Pueblo Viejo, and permitting activities required to optimize Long Canyon’s life of mine; non-renewal of key licenses by governmental authorities, including the new Special Mining Lease for Porgera; 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 relating to greenhouse gas emission levels, energy efficiency and reporting of risks; 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; 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 to cyber-attacks, cybersecurity breaches, or similar network or system 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 supply chain disruptions caused by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, 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, including the effects and potential effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic; risks related to the failure of internal controls; and risks related to the impairment of the Company’s goodwill and assets. Barrick also cautions that its 2023 guidance, as well as its ten-year production profile for gold and copper, may be impacted by the ongoing business and social disruption caused by the spread of Covid-19.

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

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

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 MD&A 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.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings1 - three months ended June 30, 2023 versus March 31, 2023

Net earnings attributable to equity holders of Barrick ("net earnings") for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $305 million compared to $120 million in the prior quarter. Among the drivers of the increase was a loss on currency translation of $38 million occurring in the prior quarter, primarily related to the devaluation of the Zambian kwacha resulting from high inflation levels in the country and concerns regarding ongoing negotiations related to the restructuring of the country’s debt. This devaluation reversed in the current quarter following the finalization of a debt restructuring deal which resulted in a gain on currency translation of $12 million. This was combined with the $30 million commitment made towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership occurring in the prior quarter.

After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted net earnings1 of $336 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $89 million higher than the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to a higher realized gold price1, lower gold and copper cost of sales per ounce2, and increased gold and copper sales volumes. This was partially offset by a lower realized copper price1. The realized gold and copper prices1 were $1,972 per ounce and $3.70 per pound, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1,902 per ounce and $4.20 per pound, respectively, in the prior quarter. Higher gold sales volume was primarily due to a stronger performance from Carlin following significant planned maintenance activity undertaken in the first four months of the year. This was combined with higher grades at Kibali in line with the mine plan. This was partially offset by lower production at Cortez due to mine sequencing; Turquoise Ridge due to planned autoclave maintenance; and Pueblo Viejo, where tie-in work and commissioning of the plant expansion project impacted production. The increase in copper sales volumes was driven by higher grades processed at Lumwana which was due to improved mining rates resulting from the new fleet.

Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings1 - three months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2023 were $305 million compared to $488 million in the same prior year period. Among the drivers of the decrease was a smaller gain of $13 million compared to a gain of $128 million in the same prior year period resulting from a smaller increase in the market real risk-free rate used to discount the closure provision.

After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted net earnings1 of $336 million in the second quarter of 2023 were $83 million lower than the same prior year period. One of the drivers of the decrease was lower gold and copper sales volumes. The decrease in gold sales volume was primarily due to lower production at Pueblo Viejo due to lower grades processed combined with tie-in work and commissioning of the plant expansion project, as well as the completion of Phase 1 mining in May 2022 at Long Canyon. This was partially offset by higher production at Cortez, driven by higher oxide mill and heap leach production from the Crossroads open pit and higher underground production. The lower copper sales volume was primarily at Lumwana due to lower grades processed and lower recoveries, partially offset by

higher throughput. These impacts were combined with higher gold cost of sales per ounce2, mainly due to lower sales volumes, combined with higher contractor and maintenance costs, specifically at NGM where maintenance in the prior year was completed in a different quarter; and higher copper cost of sales per ounce2,primarily due to lower grades processed and decreased capitalized waste stripping at Lumwana. Adjusted net earnings1 were further impacted by a higher realized gold price1. The realized gold price1 was $1,972 per ounce in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1,861 per ounce in the same prior year period.

The significant adjusting items in the three months ended June 30, 2023 include:

■$33 million in significant tax adjustments, mainly related to the settlement agreement to resolve the tax dispute at Porgera, adjustments in respect of prior years and the re-measurement of deferred tax balances; and

■$15 million ($22 million before tax and non-controlling interests) in net impairment charges relating to miscellaneous assets; partially offset by

■$12 million (no tax or non-controlling interests impact) in a gain on currency translation, primarily due to the appreciation of the Zambian kwacha.

Refer to page 59 for a full list of reconciling items between net earnings and adjusted net earnings1 for the current and previous periods.

Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings1 - six months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $425 million compared to $926 million in the same prior year period. Among the drivers of the decrease was an expense of $9 million in the current period compared to a gain of $125 million in the same prior year period resulting from changes in the market real risk-free rate used to discount the closure provision.

After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted net earnings1 of $583 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $299 million lower than the same prior year period. The decrease in adjusted net earnings was primarily due to a higher gold and copper cost of sales per ounce2 and lower gold and copper sales volumes. The increase in gold cost of sales per ounce2 compared to the same prior year period was primarily due to the impact of lower grades processed, as well as increased contractor and maintenance costs, while the increase in copper cost of sales per ounce2 was mainly due to higher operating costs resulting from lower grades processed and lower capitalized waste stripping at Lumwana. The lower gold sales volume was primarily at Carlin resulting from the conversion of the Goldstrike autoclave to a conventional CIL process in the first quarter of 2023 and the closure of the Gold Quarry concentrator at the beginning of the second quarter; at Long Canyon as Phase 1 mining was completed in May 2022; as well as at Pueblo Viejo due to lower grades processed and lower throughput. That was partially offset by higher oxide ore tonnes mined from Crossroads and Cortez Hills underground, combined with higher heap leach production at Cortez. The decrease in copper sales volume is mainly at Lumwana due to lower grades processed and lower recoveries, partially offset by higher throughput. These impacts were combined with a decrease in the realized copper price1, partially offset by a higher realized gold

price1. The realized gold and copper prices1 were $1,938 per ounce and $3.93 per pound, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1,868 per ounce and $4.20 per pound, respectively, in the same prior year period.

The significant adjusting items in the six months ended June 30, 2023 include:

■$81 million in significant tax adjustments, mainly related to the settlement agreement to resolve the tax dispute at Porgera, adjustments in respect of prior years and the re-measurement of deferred tax balances;

■$55 million ($60 million before tax and non-controlling interests) in other expense (income) adjustments in the current year, primarily related to the $30 million commitment made towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership, changes in our closed mine rehabilitation as a result of lower discount rate assumptions and care and maintenance expenses at Porgera; and

■$15 million ($23 million before tax and non-controlling interests) in net impairment charges, mainly relating to miscellaneous assets.

Refer to page 59 for a full list of reconciling items between net earnings and adjusted net earnings1 for the current and previous periods.

Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow1 - three months ended June 30, 2023 versus March 31, 2023

In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $832 million in operating cash flow, compared to $776 million in the prior quarter. The increase of $56 million was primarily due to an increase in realized gold prices1, lower total cash costs/C1 cash costs per ounce/pound1, as well as higher gold and copper sales volumes, partially offset by a decrease in realized copper prices1. Operating cash flow was further affected by a reduction in the unfavorable movement in working capital, mainly due to a favorable movement in accounts payable and inventory, partially offset by an unfavorable movement in other current assets and accounts receivable. These results were further impacted by an increase in cash taxes paid and higher interest paid as a result of the timing of semi-annual interest payments on our bonds.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded free cash flow1 of $63 million, compared to $88 million in the prior quarter, mainly reflecting higher capital expenditures. In the second quarter of 2023, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $769 million compared to $688 million in the prior quarter, due to an increase in both minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 and project capital expenditures1. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 increased mainly at Loulo-Gounkoto due to higher capitalized underground development following the commencement of production at the Gounkoto underground mine, at Carlin due to increased capitalized waste stripping, and at Lumwana due to the replacement of mining fleet. The increase in project capital expenditures1 was primarily driven by higher expenditures at the TS Solar project at NGM, combined with the plant expansion and mine life extension project at Pueblo Viejo. This was largely offset by delayed spending on the TSF at Loulo-Gounkoto.

Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow1 - three months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

In the second quarter of 2023, we generated $832 million in operating cash flow, compared to $924 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $92 million was primarily due to lower gold and copper sales volumes, higher gold and copper total cash costs/C1 cash costs per ounce/pound1 and a lower realized copper price1, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1. Operating cash flow was also positively impacted by higher interest received as a result of an increase in market interest rates and lower cash taxes paid.

In the second quarter of 2023, we generated free cash flow1 of $63 million compared to $169 million in the same prior year period. The decrease primarily reflects lower operating cash flows as explained above and slightly higher capital expenditures. In the second quarter of 2023, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $769 million compared to $755 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in capital expenditures of $14 million was due to an increase in project capital expenditures1, while minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 remained in line with the same prior year period. The increase in project capital expenditures1 is primarily due to higher expenditures at the TS Solar project at NGM as construction began in the fourth quarter of 2022, combined with the continued investment in the new owner mining fleet at Lumwana. This was partially offset by the completion of the initial development of the Gounkoto underground mine in the first quarter of 2023. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 were in line with the same prior year period, as increased expenditures on the tailings buttressing project and new equipment purchases in the underground at Loulo-Gounkoto, and an increase in projects related to processing and underground facilities at Carlin was offset by decreased capitalized waste stripping at both Lumwana and Cortez.

Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow1 - six months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $1,608 million in operating cash flow, compared to $1,928 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $320 million was primarily due to higher total cash costs/C1 cash costs per ounce/pound1, lower gold and copper sales volumes, and a lower realized copper price1, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1. This was combined with an unfavorable movement in working capital, mainly in accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, partially offset by a favorable movement in other current assets. These results were further impacted by lower cash taxes paid and an increase in interest received as a result of higher market interest rates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated free cash flow1 of $151 million compared to $562 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $411 million primarily reflects lower operating cash flows as explained above and higher capital expenditures. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $1,457 million compared to $1,366 million in the same prior year period resulting from an increase in both project capital expenditures1 and minesite sustaining capital expenditures1. The increase in project capital expenditures1 was primarily the result of the investment in the new owner mining fleet at Lumwana, combined with higher expenditures at the TS Solar project at NGM as

construction began in the fourth quarter of 2022. This was partially offset by lower project capital expenditures1 incurred on the plant expansion at Pueblo Viejo. Higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 is mainly due to increased expenditures on the tailings buttressing project and new equipment purchases in the underground at Loulo-Gounkoto, higher capitalized waste stripping at North Mara, and an increase in project spend on processing and underground facilities at Carlin. This was partially offset by lower capitalized waste stripping at Lumwana and Cortez.

Key Business Developments

Share Buyback Program

At the February 14, 2023 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized a new share buyback program for the purchase of up to $1 billion of Barrick’s outstanding shares over the next 12 months. As at June 30, 2023, we have not purchased any shares under this program in 2023.

The actual number of common shares that may be purchased, and the timing of any 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.

Porgera Special Mining Lease

On April 9, 2021, BNL signed a binding Framework Agreement with the Independent State of PNG and Kumul Minerals, a state-owned mining company, setting out the terms and conditions for the reopening of the Porgera mine. On February 3, 2022, the Framework Agreement was replaced by the Commencement Agreement. The Commencement Agreement was signed by PNG, Kumul Minerals, BNL and its affiliate Porgera (Jersey) Limited on October 15, 2021, and it became effective on February 3, 2022, following signature by MRE, the holder of the remaining 5% of the original Porgera joint venture. The Commencement Agreement reflects the commercial terms previously agreed to under the Framework Agreement, namely that PNG stakeholders will receive a 51% equity stake in the Porgera mine, with the remaining 49% to be held by BNL or an affiliate. BNL is jointly owned on a 50/50 basis by Barrick and Zijin Mining Group. Accordingly, following the implementation of the Commencement Agreement, Barrick’s current 47.5% interest in the Porgera mine is expected to be reduced to a 24.5% interest as reflected in Barrick’s reserve and resource estimates for Porgera. BNL will retain operatorship of the mine. The Commencement Agreement also provides that PNG stakeholders and BNL and its affiliates will share the economic benefits derived from the reopened Porgera mine on a 53% and 47% basis over the remaining life of mine, respectively, and that the Government of PNG will retain the option to acquire BNL’s or its affiliate’s 49% equity participation at fair market value after 10 years.

On April 21, 2022, the PNG National Parliament passed legislation to provide, among other things, certain agreed tax exemptions and tax stability for the new Porgera joint venture. This legislation was certified on May 30, 2022. Six out of the seven pieces of legislation took effect as of April 11 and 14, 2023, respectively, when they were

published in the National Gazette, as required under PNG Law. The remaining act awaits publication to take effect.

On September 13, 2022, the Shareholders’ Agreement for the new Porgera joint venture company was executed by Porgera (Jersey) Limited, which is an affiliate of BNL, the state-owned Kumul Minerals (Porgera) Limited and MRE. New Porgera Limited, the new Porgera joint venture company, was incorporated on September 22, 2022 and became a party to the Commencement Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement on October 13, 2023.

On March 31, 2023, BNL, the Independent State of PNG and New Porgera Limited signed the New Porgera Progress Agreement whereby the parties reiterated their commitment to reopening the Porgera mine in line with the terms of the Commencement Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement. The provisions of the Commencement Agreement will be fully implemented, and work to recommence full mine operations at Porgera will begin, following the execution of the remaining definitive agreements and satisfaction of a number of conditions. These include an Operatorship Agreement pursuant to which BNL will operate the Porgera mine, as well as a Mining Development Contract between New Porgera Limited and the Independent State of PNG which is required to be in place to enable the grant of a new SML to New Porgera Limited under the PNG Mining Act. Under the terms of the Commencement Agreement, BNL will remain in possession of the site and maintain the mine on care and maintenance.

On June 13, 2023, in accordance with the Commencement Agreement, New Porgera Limited lodged an application with the Mineral Resources Authority for a new SML. The application is now subject to a review process under the PNG Mining Act.

On June 20, 2023, the PNG IRC, the Commissioner General, Barrick and BNL entered into a settlement agreement to resolve a dispute regarding tax assessments issued by the IRC against BNL. The resolution of this tax dispute satisfies one of the conditions to the reopening of the Porgera mine under the Commencement Agreement, and has allowed the parties to work toward the reopening of the mine by the end of 2023.

The parties to the Commencement Agreement are continuing to progress the remaining conditions for the reopening of the mine.

Porgera was excluded from our 2023 guidance. We expect to update our guidance following both the execution of all of the definitive agreements to implement the binding Commencement Agreement and the finalization of a timeline for the resumption of full mine operations. Refer to notes 12 and 16 to the Financial Statements for more information.

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG")

Sustainability is entrenched in our DNA: our sustainability strategy is our business plan.

Barrick’s vision to sustainability is underpinned by the knowledge that sustainability aspects are interconnected and must be tackled in conjunction with, and reference to, each other. We call this approach Holistic and Integrated Sustainability Management. Although we integrate our sustainability management, we discuss our sustainability strategy within four overarching pillars: (1) respecting human rights; (2) protecting the health and safety of our people and local communities; (3) sharing the benefits of our operations; and (4) managing our impacts on the environment.

We implement this strategy by blending top-down accountability with bottom-up responsibility. This means we place the day-to-day ownership of sustainability, and the associated risks and opportunities, in the hands of individual sites. In the same way that each site must manage its geological, operational and technical capabilities to meet business objectives, it must also manage and identify programs, metrics, and targets that measure progress and deliver real value for the business and our stakeholders, including our host countries and local communities. The Group Sustainability Executive, supported by regional sustainability leads, provides oversight and direction over this site-level ownership, to ensure alignment with the strategic priorities of the overall business.

Governance

The bedrock of our sustainability strategy is strong governance. Our most senior management-level body dedicated to sustainability is the E&S Committee, which connects site-level ownership of our sustainability strategy with the leadership of the Group. It is chaired by the President and Chief Executive Officer and includes: (1) regional Chief Operating Officers; (2) minesite General Managers; (3) Health, Safety, Environment and Closure Leads; (4) the Group Sustainability Executive; (5) in-house legal counsel; and (6) an independent sustainability consultant in an advisory role. The E&S Committee meets on a quarterly basis to review our performance across a range of key performance indicators, and to provide independent oversight and review of sustainability management.

The President and Chief Executive Officer reviews the reports of the E&S Committee at every quarterly meeting of the Board's ESG & Nominating Committee. The reports are reviewed to ensure the implementation of our sustainability policies and to drive performance of our environmental, health and safety, community relations and development, and human rights programs.

This is supplemented by weekly meetings, at a minimum, between the Regional Sustainability Leads and the Group Sustainability Executive. These meetings examine the sustainability-related risks and opportunities facing the business in real time, as well as the progress and issues integrated into weekly Executive Committee review meetings.

Our industry-first Sustainability Scorecard accounts for 25% of the long-term incentive awards for senior leaders as part of the Barrick Partnership Plan. As we strive for ongoing strong performance, the Sustainability Scorecard targets and metrics are updated annually. The

results of the 2022 Sustainability Scorecard, and updated metrics and targets for 2023, were disclosed in our 2022 Sustainability Report, published in April 2023. The E&S Committee tracks our progress against all metrics.

We also note the issuance of the first two standards by the ISSB on June 26, 2023 and will continue to monitor their adoption by national regulators.

Human rights

Our commitment to respect human rights is codified in our standalone Human Rights Policy and informed by the expectations of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. This commitment is fulfilled on the ground via our Human Rights Program, the fundamental principles of which include: monitoring and reporting, due diligence, training, as well as disciplinary action and remedy.

We continue to assess and manage security and human rights risks at all our operations and provide security and human rights training to security forces across our sites.

Safety

We are committed to the safety, health and well-being of our people, their families and the communities in which we operate. Our safety vision is “Everyone to go home safe and healthy every day.”

We continue to roll out our rebranded “Journey to Zero” initiative which commenced with a phase of honest reflection, and the review and update of our global safety standards, and alignment of our fatal risks and controls.

We report our safety performance quarterly as part of both our E&S Committee meetings and to the ESG & Nominating Committee. Our safety performance is a regular standing agenda item on our weekly Executive Committee review meeting.

In terms of other key performance indicators, for the second quarter of 2023, our LTIFR3 was 0.26, an 8% increase from the first quarter, and our TRIFR3 was 1.01, a significant reduction of 39% from the first quarter.

Social

We regard our host communities and countries as important partners in our business. Our sustainability policies commit us to transparency in our relationships with host communities, government authorities, the public and other key stakeholders. Through these policies, we commit to conducting our business with integrity and with absolute opposition to corruption. We require our suppliers to operate ethically and responsibly as a condition of doing business with us.

Community and economic development

Our commitment to social and economic development is set out in our overarching Sustainable Development and Social Performance policies. Mining has been identified as vital for the achievement of the United Nations SDGs, not only for its role in providing the minerals needed to enable the transition to a lower carbon intensive economy, but more importantly because of its ability to drive socio-economic development and build resilience. Creating long-term value and sharing economic benefits is at the heart of our approach to sustainability, as well as community

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

development. This approach is encapsulated in three concepts:

The primacy of partnership: this means that we invest in real partnerships with mutual responsibility. Partnerships include local communities, suppliers, government, and organizations, and this approach is epitomized through our CDCs with development initiatives and investments.

Sharing the benefits: We hire and buy local wherever possible as this injects money into and keeps it in our local communities and host countries. By doing this, we build capacity, community resilience and create opportunity. We also invest in community development through our CDCs. Sharing the benefits also means paying our fair share of taxes, royalties and dividends and doing so transparently, primarily through the reporting mechanism of the Canadian Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act. Our annual Tax Contribution Report sets out, in detail, our economic contributions to host governments.

Engaging and listening to stakeholders: We develop tailored stakeholder engagement plans for every operation and the business as a whole. These plans guide and document how often we engage with various stakeholder groups and allow us to proactively deal with issues before they escalate into significant risks.

We continued our community development initiatives through our CDCs. Notably, we established a second CDC for the Reko Diq project in Balochistan, Pakistan. These CDCs provide community development for both the nearest communities (named the Par-e-Koh CDC), as well as the nearest town of Nok Kundi. The CDCs are comprised of elected members from the communities.

Our community development spend during the second quarter was $10 million, and $17 million in the year to date.

Environment

We know the environment in which we work and our host communities are inextricably linked, and we apply a holistic and integrated approach to sustainability management. Being responsible stewards of the environment by applying the highest standards of environmental management, using natural resources and energy efficiently, recycling and reducing waste as well as working to protect biodiversity, we can deliver significant cost savings to our business, reduce future liabilities and help build stronger stakeholder relationships. Environmental matters such as how we use water, prevent incidents, manage tailings, respond to changing climate, and protect biodiversity are key areas of focus.

We maintained our strong track record of stewardship and did not record any Class 14 environmental incidents during the first half of 2023.

Climate Change

The ESG & Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing Barrick’s policies, programs and performance relating to sustainability and the environment, including climate change. The Audit & Risk Committee assists the Board in overseeing the Group’s management of enterprise risks as well as the implementation of policies and standards for monitoring and mitigating such risks. Climate change is built into our formal risk management process, outputs of which are regularly reviewed by the Audit & Risk Committee.

Barrick’s climate change strategy has three pillars: (1) identify, understand and mitigate the risks associated with climate change; (2) measure and reduce our GHG emissions across our operations and value chain; and (3) improve our disclosure on climate change. The three pillars of our climate change strategy do not focus solely on the development of emissions reduction targets, rather, we integrate and consider aspects of biodiversity protection, water management and community resilience in our approach.

We are acutely aware of the impacts that climate change and extreme weather events have on our host communities and countries, particularly developing nations which are often the most vulnerable. As the world economy transitions to renewable power, it is imperative that developing nations are not left behind. As a responsible business, we have focused our efforts on building resilience in our host communities and countries, just as we do for our business. Our climate disclosure is based on the recommendations of the TCFD.

Identify, understand and mitigate the risks associated with climate change

We identify and manage risks, build resilience to a changing climate and extreme weather events, as well as position ourselves for new opportunities. These factors continue to be incorporated into our formal risk assessment process. We have identified several risks and opportunities for our business including: physical impacts of extreme weather events; an increase in regulations that seek to address climate change; and an increase in global investment in innovation and low-carbon technologies.

The risk assessment process includes scenario analysis, which is being rolled out to all sites with an initial focus on our Tier One Gold Assets5, to assess site-specific climate related risks and opportunities. The key findings and summary of this asset-level physical and transitional risk assessment at Loulo-Gounkoto and Kibali were disclosed as part of our CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project) Climate Change and Water Security questionnaires, submitted to CDP in July 2023.

In addition, climate scenario analysis and risk assessments were completed for Carlin (physical risks) and NGM (transitional risks) during the second quarter.

Measure and reduce the Group’s impact on climate change

Mining is an energy-intensive business, and we understand the important link between energy use and GHG emissions. By measuring and effectively managing our energy use, we can reduce our GHG emissions, achieve more efficient production, and reduce our costs.

We have climate champions at each site who are tasked with identifying roadmaps and assessing feasibility for our GHG emissions reductions and carbon offsets for hard-to-abate emissions. Any carbon offsets that we pursue must have appropriate socio-economic and/or biodiversity benefits. We have published an achievable emissions reduction roadmap and continue to assess further reduction opportunities across our operations. The detailed roadmap was first published in our 2021 Sustainability Report and includes committed-capital projects and projects under investigation that rely on technological advances, with a progress summary contained in the 2022 Sustainability Report.

We continue to progress our extensive work across our value chain in understanding our Scope 3 (indirect value chain) emissions and implementing our engagement roadmap to enable our key suppliers to set meaningful and measurable reduction targets, in line with the commitments made through the ICMM Climate Position Paper.

Improve our disclosure on climate change

Our disclosure on climate change, including in our Sustainability Report and on our website, is developed in line with the TCFD recommendations. Barrick continues to monitor the various regulatory climate disclosure standards being developed around the world, including the ISSB’s recently issued S2 Climate-related Disclosures. In addition, we complete the annual CDP Climate Change and Water Security questionnaires. This ensures our investor-relevant water use, emissions and climate data is widely available.

Emissions

Barrick’s interim GHG emissions reduction target is for a minimum 30% reduction by 2030 against our 2018 baseline, while maintaining a steady production profile. The basis of this reduction is against a 2018 baseline of 7,541 kt CO2-e.

Our GHG emissions reduction target is grounded in science and has a detailed pathway for achievement. Our target is not static and will be updated as we continue to identify and implement new GHG reduction opportunities.

Ultimately, our vision is net zero GHG emissions by 2050, achieved primarily through GHG reductions, with some offsets for hard-to-abate emissions. Site-level plans to improve energy efficiency, integrate clean and renewable energy sources and reduce GHG emissions will also be strengthened. We plan to supplement our corporate emissions reduction target with context-based site-specific emissions reduction targets.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Group's total Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) GHG emissions were 1,525 kt CO2-e. Year to date emissions are approximately 12% less than the GHG emissions for the same period in 2022.

Water

Water is a vital and increasingly scarce global resource. Managing and using water responsibly is one of the most critical parts of our sustainability strategy. Our commitment to responsible water use is codified in our Environmental Policy. Steady, reliable access to water is critical to the effective operation of our mines. Access to water is also a fundamental human right.

Understanding the water stress in the regions we operate enables us to better understand the risks and manage our water resources through site-specific water balances, based on the ICMM Water Accounting Framework, aimed at minimizing our water withdrawal and maximizing water reuse and recycling within our operations.

We include each mine’s water risks in its operational risk register. These risks are then aggregated

and incorporated into the corporate risk register. Our identified water-related risks include: (1) managing excess water in regions with high rainfall; (2) maintaining access to water in arid areas and regions prone to water scarcity; and (3) regulatory risks related to permitting limits as well as municipal and national regulations for water use.

We set an annual water recycling and reuse target of 80%. Our water recycling and reuse rate for the second quarter of 2023 was approximately 82%, in line with our performance for the same period in 2022.

Tailings

We are committed to having our TSFs meet global best practices for safety. Our TSFs are carefully engineered and regularly inspected, particularly those in regions with high rainfall and seismic events.

We continue to progress with our conformance to the GISTM, with all of our sites that are classified as Very High or Extreme consequence now in conformance with the GISTM and disclosed on Barrick’s website. We continue to progress with our conformance for lower consequence facilities in accordance with the GISTM.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity underpins many of the ecosystem services on which our mines and their surrounding communities depend. If improperly managed, mining and exploration activities have the potential to negatively affect biodiversity and ecosystem services. Protecting biodiversity and preventing nature loss is also critical and inextricably linked to the fight against climate change. We work to proactively manage our impact on biodiversity and strive to protect the ecosystems in which we operate. Wherever possible, we aim to achieve a net neutral biodiversity impact, particularly for ecologically sensitive environments.

We continue to work to implement our BAPs. The BAPs outline our strategy to achieve net-neutral impacts for all key biodiversity features and their associated management plans.

In June 2023, Barrick worked with key partners, including African Parks, the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature, the Congolese government and the & Beyond Phinda Private Reserve, on the successful reintroduction of 16 white rhinos to the Garamba National Park in the northeast of the DRC, where the species was last seen in 2006. The introduction of the near-threatened southern sub-species promotes the long-term conservation of rhino in Africa by extending their range and creating another breeding node for the species in a safe environment. The rhino will also play an important role in regulating the structure and functioning of the park’s ecosystem, creating and maintaining grazing lawns that support other fauna and flora and provides important ecosystem services.

Full Year 2023 Outlook

We continue to expect 2023 gold production to be in the range of 4.2 to 4.6 million ounces. We expect stronger year-over-year performance from Cortez, Pueblo Viejo and Turquoise Ridge, together with consistent delivery across the remaining Tier One Gold Assets5 as detailed further below. Notably at Turquoise Ridge, the commissioning of the Third Shaft in the fourth quarter of 2022, combined with increased availability and reliability of the Sage autoclave, is expected to deliver stronger production in 2023 relative to the prior year.

As previously guided, the Company's gold production is expected to increase over the course of the year, with the first quarter being the lowest. This was mainly due to lower grades at Kibali due to mine sequencing in the first quarter, roaster maintenance and the completion of the autoclave carbon-in-leach conversion at Goldstrike also in the first quarter. In the second quarter, major maintenance for the Gold Quarry roaster at Carlin occurred in April 2023, as planned, and maintenance on the Sage autoclave at Turquoise Ridge occurred in the latter part of the quarter. The ramp up of the plant expansion at Pueblo Viejo is anticipated to positively impact the third quarter of 2023 as well as higher grades from Cortez and Carlin open pits due to mine sequencing. As a result, we expect the Company’s gold production in the second half of 2023 to be stronger than the first half.

Our 2023 gold guidance continues to exclude Porgera. We expect to update our guidance to include Porgera following both the execution of all of the definitive agreements to implement the Commencement Agreement and the finalization of a timeline for the resumption of full mine operations.

Our 2023 gold cost guidance remains unchanged, including cost of sales of $1,170 to $1,250 per ounce2, total cash costs of $820 to $880 per ounce1 and all-in sustaining costs of $1,170 to $1,250 per ounce1. These ranges were based on a gold price assumption of $1,650 per ounce. We have previously disclosed a sensitivity of approximately $5 per ounce on our 2023 gold cost guidance metrics for every $100 per ounce change in the gold price and based on the realized gold price for the six months to June 30, 2023, the impact of the higher gold price flowing into higher royalty costs has been approximately $15/oz.

We continue to expect 2023 copper production to be in the range of 420 to 470 million pounds. Production in the second half of 2023 is expected to be stronger than the first half, mainly due to steadily increasing throughput at Lumwana as we execute on our owner-miner strategy and commission the new mining fleet. Separately, major maintenance at Zaldívar is scheduled in the third quarter of 2023 as reported by the operator, Antofagasta. Our copper cost guidance metrics for 2023 remain unchanged, which are based on a copper price assumption of $3.50 per pound.

Taking into account the risks and sensitivities as discussed above, 2023 Company guidance is detailed below, inclusive of the key assumptions that were used as the basis for this guidance as released on February 15, 2023.

Operating Performance

In the first quarter of 2023, we re-evaluated our reportable operating segments and started detailed reporting on our interest in Lumwana and no longer provide detailed reporting on our interest in Veladero. As a result, our presentation of reportable operating segments consists of eight gold mines (Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Kibali, North Mara and Bulyanhulu) and one copper mine (Lumwana). The remaining operating

segments, including our remaining gold and copper mines, have been grouped into an “Other Mines” category and will not be reported on individually. Segment performance is evaluated based on a number of measures including operating income before tax, production levels and unit production costs. Certain costs are managed on a consolidated basis and are therefore not reflected in segment income.

Financial Results

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Carlin's income for the second quarter of 2023 was 156% higher than the prior quarter due to higher sales volumes, a lower cost of sales per ounce2, and a higher realized gold price1.

Gold production in the second quarter of 2023 was 49% higher compared to the prior quarter primarily owing to significantly higher tonnes processed following planned maintenance at the Goldstrike roaster combined with the autoclave conversion from RIL to CIL that took place in the prior quarter. The Gold Quarry roaster shutdown, which occurred at the beginning of the second quarter, was completed per the plan and all process facilities are now well positioned for increased throughput in the second half of the year. As previously discussed, the Gold Quarry

concentrator was taken out of service at the end of the prior quarter due to the lack of available oxide material at this time.

Total tonnes mined were 30% higher compared to the prior quarter, primarily driven by open pit sequencing per the mine plan, combined with record snowfall levels impacting the prior quarter. Open pit waste tonnes increased from both Gold Quarry and the next phase of South Arturo, partially offset by lower waste tonnes from the Goldstar pit. Open pit ore tonnes and grade mined were 51% and 13% higher, respectively, compared to the prior quarter, driven by an increase in ore tonnes and grades mined at Goldstar and South Arturo. This was partially offset by lower ore tonnes mined at Gold Quarry. Underground tonnes mined were 6% higher than the prior quarter, due to mine sequencing and productivity improvements across Carlin’s underground operations while the average grade mined was in line with the prior quarter.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 in the second quarter of 2023 were 14% and 17% lower, respectively, than the prior quarter largely reflecting higher sales volumes, combined with reduced operating and maintenance costs as the Gold Quarry concentrator was closed and the Goldstrike roaster major shutdown occurred in the first quarter of 2023. In the second quarter of 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 were 17% lower than the prior quarter due to lower total cash costs per ounce1 and decreased minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 on a per ounce basis.

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2023 increased by 25% compared to prior quarter, primarily due to higher capitalized waste stripping as per the mine plan.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

Carlin's income for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was 4% lower than the same prior year period due to a higher cost of sales per ounce2, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1. Sales volumes were almost in line with the same prior year period.

Gold production for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was 2% higher than the same prior year period as a result of the higher average grade processed driven by higher grades mined from the open pits, combined with improved recovery rates from the autoclave related to the RIL to CIL conversion which was completed in the first quarter of 2023. This was partially offset by the closure of the Gold Quarry concentrator, combined with lower heap leach production driven by the lower tonnes stacked in the prior quarter and the leach cycle.

Total tonnes mined were 6% lower than the same prior year period with mining at the Goldstrike 5th NW being completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. In addition, there was higher waste stripping in the same prior year period. At Goldstar, lower tonnes were mined compared to the same prior year period with mining of the current phases to be completed in the third quarter of 2023. Offsetting this, mining activity at Gold Quarry was significantly higher in the current quarter to meet planned ore delivery requirements in the second half of 2023, while initial waste stripping ramped-up at the next phase of South Arturo whereas there was no mining at South Arturo in the same prior year period. Average open pit mined grade increased by 96% compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to the mining of a lower proportion of heap leach ore. Underground tonnes and grade mined were 13% and 7% lower, respectively, compared to the same prior year period,

driven by a change in the mix of ore sources across the different underground operations, as per the mine plan.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 were 19% and 18% higher, respectively, than the same prior year period, primarily due to higher maintenance costs associated with the Gold Quarry roaster shutdown early in the second quarter of 2023 and higher maintenance costs related to the open pit truck fleet which is scheduled to be replaced in the following years. For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 increased by 18% compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to higher total cash costs per ounce1 combined with higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2023 were 18% higher compared with the same prior year period, primarily due to an increase in projects related to processing and underground facilities.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

Carlin’s income for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was 40% lower than the same prior year period, mainly due to lower sales volume and an increase in cost of sales per ounce2. This was partially offset by a higher realized gold price1.

Gold production for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was 12% lower than the same prior year period, mainly due to the autoclave conversion from RIL to CIL in the first quarter of 2023 and the closure of the Gold Quarry concentrator. In addition, production was impacted by lower leach production driven by the leach cycle combined with the planned maintenance shutdowns at both roasters that occurred earlier in 2023.

Total tonnes mined decreased by 14% compared to the same prior year period. At the open pit operations, waste tonnes mined were lower, primarily driven by record snowfall levels impacting the first quarter of 2023, as well as open pit sequencing per the mine plan. This was partially offset by an increase in ore tonnes mined from the Gold Star open pit, where mining continued to advance in ore, resulting in lower capitalized waste tonnes mined compared to the same prior year period. In addition, waste stripping ramped-up at the next phase of South Arturo whereas there was no mining at South Arturo in the same prior year period. Average open pit mined grade increased by 114% compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to the progression of mining in the Gold Quarry and Gold Star open pits. Underground tonnes and grade mined were 14% and 5% lower, respectively, compared to the same prior year period, driven by a change in the mix of ore sources across the different underground operations, as per the mine plan.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 were both 29% higher than the same prior year period, due to higher maintenance costs driven by the planned shutdowns at both roasters in 2023, higher maintenance costs related to the open pit truck fleet combined with the impact of lower sales volumes. For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 were 30% higher than the same prior year period, mainly due to higher total cash costs per ounce1, combined with higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Capital expenditures for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 increased by 12% primarily due to an increase in projects related to processing and underground facilities, along with the timing of underground mobile equipment deliveries across Carlin’s mining operations.

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Cortez’s income for the second quarter of 2023 was 15% lower than the prior quarter due to lower sales volumes and slightly higher cost of sales per ounce2, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1.

Gold production in the second quarter of 2023 was 21% lower than the prior quarter, resulting from lower heap leach production from the Crossroads open pit due to lower tonnes stacked in the prior quarter and the leach cycle. This was partially offset by higher production from both Cortez Hills underground and the Goldrush bulk sample.

Total tonnes mined were 31% higher compared to the prior quarter primarily driven by the open pits. Open pit ore tonnes mined were 89% higher than the prior quarter while grade was 4% lower. This was mainly due to mine sequencing at both Crossroads and Cortez Pits, combined with record snowfall levels impacting the prior quarter.

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Waste stripping was 22% higher than the prior quarter, as per the mine plan. Underground tonnes mined were 20% higher than the prior quarter, driven by the mine sequence and planned major maintenance performed on the Cortez Hills conveyor, which was completed in the second quarter. Underground grades mined were slightly lower than the prior quarter.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 in the second quarter of 2023 were 2% and 6% higher, respectively, than the prior quarter, due to the impact of a higher proportion of comparatively higher cost refractory production in the sales mix, partially offset by lower energy prices. In the second quarter of 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 were 18% higher than the prior quarter, driven by higher total cash costs per ounce1 combined with increased minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2023 were 21% higher than the prior quarter, mainly due to both higher minesite sustaining and project capital expenditures1. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 were 22% higher compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to the ramp-up in commissioning of the new open pit truck fleet. Project capital expenditures were 20% higher than the prior quarter on the back of increased activity at Goldrush.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

Cortez’s income for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was 10% higher than the same prior year period, primarily due to a higher sales volume and a higher realized gold price1, partially offset by a higher cost of sales per ounce2.

Gold production for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was 13% higher than the same prior year period, primarily driven by higher oxide mill and heap leach production from the Crossroads open pit and higher underground production, slightly offset by lower refractory production from the Pipeline open pit.

Total tonnes mined were 10% higher compared to the same prior year period, driven by higher open pit tonnes mined, combined with improved underground performance. Open pit ore tonnes and grade mined were almost three times higher and 2% lower, respectively, compared to the same prior year period driven by mine plan sequencing at Crossroads and the development of Cortez Pits, offset slightly by the completion of mining high grade ore from Phase 10 at Pipeline in the first half of 2022. Underground tonnes mined increased by 6% over the same prior year period, primarily driven by Cortez Hills underground and increased development activity at Goldrush underground.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 were 15% and 14% higher, respectively, than the same prior year period, due to lower grades processed, reflecting a higher proportion of ounces sourced from the open pit operation, partially offset by the impact of higher sales volumes. For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 decreased by 6% compared to the same prior year period, due to lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1, partially offset by higher total cash costs per ounce1.

Capital expenditures for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 11% from the same prior year period, due to lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures, while project capital expenditures1 were

slightly higher than the prior year period. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures were 18% lower than the same prior year period resulting from lower capitalized waste stripping, primarily at Crossroads. Project capital expenditures1 were 20% higher than the same prior year period due to increased activity at Goldrush.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

Cortez’s income for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was 5% lower than the same prior year period, primarily due to a higher cost of sales per ounce2, partially offset by higher sales volume and a higher realized gold price1.

Gold production for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was 18% higher than the same prior year period. This was primarily driven by higher oxide ore tonnes mined from Crossroads and Cortez Hills underground, combined with higher heap leach production. This was partially offset by a decrease in refractory ore shipped and processed at the Carlin roasters.

Total tonnes mined were 2% lower than the same prior year period primarily due to lower open pit waste mined. Open pit ore tonnes mined were 132% higher compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by the transition from the Pipeline pit, which ceased mining operations in the first quarter of 2022, to the next phases at Crossroads and Cortez Pits. Underground tonnes mined increased by 6% over the same prior year period, driven by Cortez Hills underground and increased development activity at Goldrush.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 were 17% and 15% higher, respectively, than the same prior year period due to lower grades processed, reflecting a higher proportion of ounces sourced from the open pit operations combined with lower capitalized stripping. For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 increased by 1% compared to the same prior year period, due to higher total cash costs per ounce1, largely offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Capital expenditures for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 4% from the same prior year period, due to lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1, partially offset by higher project capital expenditures1. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 were 11% lower compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in capitalized waste stripping at Crossroads. Project capital expenditures1 were 22% higher due to increased activity at Goldrush.

Financial Results

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Pueblo Viejo’s income for the second quarter of 2023 was 25% lower than the prior quarter, mainly due to lower sales volume and a higher cost of sales per ounce2, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1.

Gold production in the second quarter of 2023 was 13% lower than the prior quarter, mainly due to lower throughput due to tie-in and commissioning work related to the plant expansion.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the second quarter of 2023 were 8% and 18% higher, respectively, compared to the prior quarter. Both increases were driven by higher planned plant maintenance and lower production, partially offset by higher margins from third-party energy sales at the Quisqueya power plant. The cost of sales per ounce2 was further impacted by higher depreciation expense. Total cash costs per ounce1 were also impacted by lower by-product credits from silver sales. For the second quarter of 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 were 14% higher than the prior quarter, mainly due

to higher total cash costs per ounce1 and higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 on a per ounce basis.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2023 increased by 9% compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher project capital expenditures1 from the plant expansion. This was partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 due to the purchase of new mining equipment and mobile equipment components in the prior quarter.

Financial Results

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Loulo-Gounkoto’s income for the second quarter of 2023 was 29% higher than the prior quarter mainly due to a higher realized gold price1, higher sales volumes and a lower cost of sales per ounce2.

Gold production for the second quarter of 2023 was 3% higher than the prior quarter mainly due to higher tonnes processed and higher recoveries.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the second quarter of 2023 were 10% and 6% lower, respectively, than the prior quarter, mainly due to a lower strip ratio and lower power costs. For the second quarter of 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 were 5% higher than the prior quarter, mainly due to increased minesite sustaining capital expenditures1, partially offset by the lower total cash costs per ounce1.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2023 decreased by 12% compared to the prior quarter, mainly driven by lower project capital expenditures1, partially offset by higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1. Lower project capital expenditures1 were mainly due to lower spending on the TSF. The increase in minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 was primarily due to higher capitalized underground development in Gounkoto following the commencement of production.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

Loulo-Gounkoto’s income for the second quarter of 2023 was 4% higher than the same prior year period, primarily due to a higher realized gold price1, partially offset by a higher cost of sales per ounce2 and marginally lower sales volumes.

Gold production for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was 1% higher compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to higher recoveries, partially offset by slightly lower grades.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the second quarter of 2023 were 5% and 10% higher, respectively, than the same prior year period mainly due to the impact of higher underground costs driven by an increase in operating development meters. For the second quarter of 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

increased by 23% compared to the same prior year period, reflecting higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 and the increase in total cash costs per ounce1.

Capital expenditures for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 increased by 11% compared to the same prior year period, driven by higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1, partially offset by lower project capital expenditures1. The higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 was a result of increased expenditure on the tailings buttressing project and new equipment purchases in the underground. The decrease in project capital expenditures1 was driven by the completion of the initial development of the Gounkoto underground in the first quarter of 2023.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

Loulo-Gounkoto’s income for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was 8% lower than the same prior year period, primarily due to lower sales volumes and a higher cost of sales per ounce2, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1.

Gold production in the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was in line with the same prior year period, as per the mine plan.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 were 11% and 14% higher, respectively, than the same prior year period due to the impact of higher royalties due to the higher realized gold price and increased underground mining costs due to an increase in operating development meters. For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 were 22% higher than the same prior year period, due to higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 and higher total cash costs per ounce1.

Capital expenditures in the six month period ended June 30, 2023 increased by 33% compared to the same prior year period, driven by both higher minesite sustaining1 and project capital expenditures1. The higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 reflect increased expenditure on the tailings buttressing project, new equipment purchases in the underground, partially offset by lower underground development capital reflecting the focus on operating development meters in the current period. The increase in project capital expenditures1 was driven by the Loulo-Gounkoto solar expansion.

Regulatory Matters

In August 2022, the Government of Mali announced that it would conduct an audit of the Malian gold mining industry, including the Loulo-Gounkoto complex. Since that time, Barrick has engaged with the government-appointed auditors and hosted the auditors at Loulo-Gounkoto for a site visit in November 2022. In April 2023, Barrick received a report containing the auditors’ preliminary findings. During the second quarter, Barrick responded to the report to challenge the auditors’ preliminary findings, which Barrick believes are without merit. Barrick is now waiting for the auditors to issue their final report. In addition, in June 2023, the Government of Mali announced a plan to reform the Malian mining legislation. Barrick is currently engaged in a consultation process with the Malian authorities regarding the proposed reforms.

Financial Results

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Kibali’s income for the second quarter of 2023 was 82% higher than the prior quarter, mainly due to higher sales volumes, a lower cost of sales per ounce2, and a higher realized gold price1.

Gold production in the second quarter of 2023 was 36% higher than the prior quarter, mainly due to improved throughput, mine sequencing delivering higher grades and increased recoveries following an improvement in operational flexibility gained with the latest development drives.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the second quarter of 2023 were 7% and 19% lower, respectively, due to the benefit of higher grades processed, better efficiencies from the underground

operations and lower processing costs mainly due to lower energy input costs. This was combined with higher sales volume, partially offset by increased royalties due to the higher realized gold price1. Cost of sales per ounce2 was further impacted by an increased depreciation expense. For the second quarter of 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 was 19% lower compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to lower total cash costs per ounce2 and lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Capital expenditures for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 were 5% lower compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 relating to timing of equipment purchases.

were 9% and 8% higher, respectively, than the same prior year period, mainly due to the transition to lower grade open pit mining areas with longer hauls, partially offset by higher ore delivery from the underground and higher throughput. For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 were 1% higher than the same prior year period, driven by higher total cash costs per ounce1, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Capital expenditures for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 were 10% lower than the same prior year period, mainly due to lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 resulting from the timing of equipment deliveries. This was partially offset by an increase in project capital expenditures1 related to finalizing the Cyanide Recovery Plant, as well as the commencement of the solar project and Oere open pit project, both of which are expected to ramp-up in the second half of the year, with expenditure peaking in 2024.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

Kibali’s income for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was 3% higher than the same prior year period, with higher sales volumes and a higher realized gold price1, partially offset by a higher cost of sales per ounce2.

Gold production in the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was 4% lower compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to lower grades processed, partially offset by higher throughput and recoveries. The lower grade was in line with our plan, as we relied on a higher proportion of open pit ore as we focus on underground development, which will continue to ramp-up into the second half of the year.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 were 14% and 19% higher, respectively, than the same prior year period, mainly due to the impact of lower grades processed, reflecting a higher proportion of open pit ore feed during the current period. This was partially offset by higher throughput and recovery. For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 were 8% higher compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to higher total cash costs per ounce1, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Capital expenditures in the six month period ended June 30, 2023 were 5% lower than the same prior year period, mainly due to lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 partially offset by increased project capital expenditures1 due to substantially finalizing the Cyanide Recovery Plant and the Kalimva/Ikamva and Pamao open pit projects, as well as the commencement of the solar project and Oere open pit project, both of which are expected to ramp-up in the second half of the year, with expenditure peaking in 2024.

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

North Mara's income for the second quarter of 2023 was 9% lower than the prior quarter mainly due to a higher cost of sales per ounce2 and lower sales volume, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1. The income in the prior quarter was also impacted by the $30 million commitment we made (shared equally between North Mara and Bulyanhulu) towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania, per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership.

In the second quarter of 2023, production was 6% lower than the prior quarter, mainly due to the planned maintenance for the SAG mill reline, refurbishment of the secondary crusher and slightly lower grade processed as a result of the blending of stockpiled ore in the current period, in line with the mine plan.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 were 22% and 24% higher, respectively, than the prior quarter due to lower grades processed as a result of the blending of stockpiled ore. This was combined with planned maintenance and the impact of lower sales volume. All-in sustaining costs per ounce1 in the second quarter of 2023 was 19% higher than the prior quarter, mainly due to higher total cash costs per ounce1, combined with higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 on a per ounce basis.

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2023 were 17% higher, which was due to higher project capital expenditures1 mainly related to the construction of the underground paste plant, conversion drilling at both the Gokona deep surface and Gena drilling programs, and the additional open pit fleet.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

North Mara's income for the three month period ending June 30, 2023 was 22% lower than the same prior year period, mainly driven by a higher cost of sales per ounce2 and lower sales volume, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1.

Gold production for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was 3% lower due to lower grades processed this quarter for the reasons explained above. This was partially offset by higher throughput.

Financial Results

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Bulyanhulu's income for the second quarter of 2023 was 141% higher than the prior quarter, mainly due to a lower cost of sales per ounce2, a higher realized gold price1, and higher sales volumes. The income in the prior quarter was also impacted by the $30 million commitment we made (shared equally between North Mara and Bulyanhulu) towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania, per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership.

In the second quarter of 2023, production was 11% higher than the prior quarter, primarily due to higher tonnes processed, as development activity increased following the investment in the underground fleet, which provided increased flexibility.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 in the second quarter of 2023 were 9% and 13% lower, respectively, than the prior quarter, driven by higher tonnes processed, as described above. All-in sustaining costs per ounce1 in the second quarter of 2023 were 17% lower than the prior quarter, mainly due to lower total cash

costs per ounce1 and lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2023 were in line with the prior quarter, mainly due to a decrease in minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 as the prior quarter reflects the investments in underground support equipment and automation initiatives to maximize mining delivery. This was offset by increased project capital expenditures1 as a result of higher conversion drilling meters relating to brownfield exploration activity.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

Bulyanhulu's income for the three month period ending June 30, 2023 was 17% higher than the same prior year period, mainly due to a higher realized gold price1, partially offset by lower sales volumes and a higher cost of sales per ounce2.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, production was 9% lower than the same prior year period driven by lower grades processed, in line with the mine sequence, partially offset by higher throughput and recoveries.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs1 per ounce for the three month period ending June 30, 2023 were 6% and 2% higher, respectively, than the same prior year period. This was mainly due to lower grades processed and the draw-down of finished goods inventory. This was partially offset by higher copper by-product credits and higher underground development in the current quarter. Cost of sales per ounce2 was further impacted by higher depreciation expense. All-in sustaining costs per ounce1 in

the second quarter of 2023 was 1% higher than the same prior year period, mainly due to higher total cash costs per ounce1, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 on a per ounce basis.

For the three month period ending June 30, 2023, capital expenditures were 13% lower than the same prior year period, mainly due to the acquisition of prospective exploration licenses near the mine site included in the project capital expenditures1 in the same prior year period. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 were in line with the same prior year period.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

Bulyanhulu's income for the six month period ending June 30, 2023 was 26% lower than the same prior year period, mainly due to the $30 million commitment we made (shared equally between North Mara and Bulyanhulu) towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania, per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership. This was combined with lower sales volumes and a higher cost of sales per ounce2, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1.

For the six month period ending June 30, 2023, gold production was 6% lower than the same prior year period, due to the transition to lower grades, in line with our mine plan. Accordingly, higher tonnes were processed at a higher recovery in the current period as we prioritized underground development as we expect to access higher grade faces from the third quarter of 2023 onwards.

Cost of sales per ounce2 and total cash costs per ounce1 in the six month period ending June 30, 2023 were both 9% higher than the same prior year period, as we transitioned to lower grade ore. This was partially offset by cost efficiencies from higher throughput and improved mining rates. All-in sustaining costs per ounce1 for the six month period ending June 30, 2023 was 17% higher than the same prior year period, mainly due to higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 and increased total cash costs per ounce1.

For the six month period ending June 30, 2023, capital expenditures increased by 18% compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 from underground development, planned refurbishments on the plant, as well as the arrival of the new underground mining fleet. This was partially offset by lower project capital expenditures1 as the same prior year period included the acquisition of prospective exploration licenses, combined with higher conversion drilling achieved relative to the first half of 2023.

Financial Results

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Lumwana broke even in the second quarter of 2023, which compares to a loss of $12 million in the prior quarter. This was primarily due to higher sales volumes and a lower cost of sales per pound2, offset by a lower realized copper price1.

Copper production in the second quarter of 2023 was 40% higher than the prior quarter mainly due to higher grades processed, in line with the mine plan, with higher recoveries due to less reliance on stockpiled ore. This was driven by improved mining rates as the new fleet continued to ramp-up.

Cost of sales per pound2 and C1 cash costs per pound1 were 21% and 26% lower, respectively, than the prior quarter due to improved mining efficiencies, combined with higher grade and recoveries. In the second quarter of 2023, all-in sustaining costs per pound1 decreased by 17% compared to the prior quarter, primarily driven by lower C1 cash costs per pound1, partially offset by an increase in minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Capital expenditures were 37% higher compared to the prior quarter due to an increase in both minesite sustaining1 and project capital expenditures1. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 were 69% higher mainly due to the delivery of the latest batch of replacement mining fleet in the current quarter. Similarly, project capital expenditures1 increased by 4% related to the new owner mining fleet to replace the contract mining.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

Lumwana broke even in the three month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to income of $62 million in the same prior year period, driven by a lower realized copper price1, lower sales volumes and a higher cost of sales per pound2.

Copper production for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was 11% lower than the same prior year period, mainly due to lower grades processed, in line with the mine plan. This was further impacted by lower recoveries, partially offset by higher throughput.

Cost of sales per pound2 and C1 cash costs per pound1 for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 were 39% and 37% higher, respectively, compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to lower grades processed and lower capitalized waste stripping. For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, all-in sustaining costs per pound1 was in line with the same prior year period as higher C1 cash costs per pound1 were offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

Growth Project Updates

Goldrush Project, Nevada, USA6

Goldrush, at Cortez, is expected to be a long-life underground mine with anticipated annual production in excess of 400,000 ounces per annum (100% basis) once the project reaches commercial production, currently expected in 2026.

The NOA briefing package on the Goldrush FEIS remained under review by the Regional BLM Solicitor during the second quarter. After the Regional Solicitor’s review is complete, the NOA briefing package will then progress to BLM Headquarters and the Department of Interior for review and then be published in the Federal Register, which will officially initiate the public comment period for the FEIS. We now expect receipt of the ROD in the fourth quarter of 2023.

While we await the ROD, underground exploration and development of the future Goldrush mine continues under the Horse Canyon/Cortez Unified Exploration Project Plan of Operations. A minor modification to the Plan was approved by the BLM and is now in-place to allow for an additional 635 thousand tonnes of waste rock to be placed on the existing waste rock storage facility near the Cortez Hills Open Pit after the original limit was reached in early July 2023. We expect this additional waste tonnage allowance to allow underground development to continue into mid-2024. Our priority remains optimizing the ramp-up once we receive the ROD. To that end, recruitment of experienced underground miners and mechanics remains a key focus along with equipment deliveries.

As at June 30, 2023, project spend was $360 million on a 100% basis (including $11 million in the second quarter of 2023) inclusive of the exploration declines. This capital spent to date, together with the remaining expected pre-production capital, is still anticipated to be near the approximate $1 billion initial capital estimate for the Goldrush project (on a 100% basis).

Fourmile, Nevada, USA

Fourmile is the wholly owned Barrick asset in Nevada and has the potential to be another Tier One Gold Asset5. Once the project reaches certain milestones, and under defined conditions, Fourmile will be brought into the NGM JV. The current focus is on exploration drilling with promising results to date as highlighted in the Exploration section. Resource delineation of Fourmile will continue from underground when the multi-purpose drive development is expected to be completed in 2025.

NGM TS Solar Project, Nevada, USA

The TS Solar project is a 200 MW photovoltaic solar farm located adjacent to NGM’s TS Power Plant and interconnected with the existing plant transmission infrastructure. Upon completion, the project will supply renewable energy to NGM’s operations and is expected to deliver a reduction of 254kt of CO2 equivalent emissions per annum, equating to an 8% decrease from NGM’s 2018 baseline.

In the second quarter of 2023, remaining array detailed engineering was finalized with completion of the electrical design. Site civil preparations continued with array bulk earthworks, finished grading across the array footprint, substation foundation construction, and perimeter security

fence installation. The mechanical contractor began installing foundation piles and trackers in preparation for module deliveries. The electrical contractor began installing buried cable throughout the array and back to the solar substation. Solar module deliveries began in June 2023, according to schedule and module installation is ongoing.

As at June 30, 2023, project spend was $159 million (including $70 million in the second quarter of 2023) out of an estimated capital cost of $290-310 million (100% basis).

Pueblo Viejo Expansion, Dominican Republic7

The Pueblo Viejo plant expansion and mine life extension project is designed to increase throughput to 14 million tonnes per annum and sustain gold production above 800,000 ounces per year (100% basis) going forward.

Construction and commissioning activities for the plant expansion was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2023, with the new SAG mill, flotation circuits and autoclave flash recycle now operational. Full ramp up was delayed by engineering and commissioning issues in the flotation plant relating to the thickener rake alignment and the flotation cell gearboxes and agitator shafts. We are working with the Original Equipment Manufacturers on these issues.

During the third quarter of 2023, we expect to complete the oxygen plants and limestone mill, and ramp-up the plant to reach full design capacity.

The technical and social studies for additional tailings storage capacity (El Naranjo) continued to advance as planned. The environmental license for the construction and operation of the El Naranjo facility was received from the Government of the Dominican Republic during the second quarter of 2023, marking an important project milestone. Geotechnical drilling and site investigations are ongoing and continue to support the feasibility study, due for completion in the second quarter of 2024.

As at June 30, 2023, total project spend was $964 million (including $75 million in the second quarter of 2023) on a 100% basis. As previously disclosed, the estimated capital cost of the plant expansion and mine life extension project is approximately $2.1 billion (on a 100% basis).

Reko Diq Project

On December 15, 2022, Barrick completed the reconstitution of the Reko Diq project in Pakistan’s Balochistan province. The completion of this transaction involved, among other things, the execution of all of the definitive agreements including the mineral agreement stabilizing the fiscal regime applicable to the project, as well as the grant of mining leases, an exploration license, and surface rights. This completed the process that began earlier in 2022 following the conclusion of a framework agreement among the Governments of Pakistan and Balochistan province, Barrick and Antofagasta plc, which provided a path for the development of the project under a reconstituted structure. The project, which was suspended in 2011 due to a dispute over the legality of its licensing process, hosts one of the world’s largest undeveloped open pit copper-gold porphyry deposits.

The reconstituted project is held 50% by Barrick and 50% by Pakistani stakeholders, comprising a 10% free-

carried, non-contributing share held by the Provincial Government of Balochistan, an additional 15% held by a special purpose company owned by the Provincial Government of Balochistan and 25% owned by other federal state-owned enterprises. Barrick is the operator of the project. The key fiscal terms for Reko Diq are a 5% NSR payable to the Provincial Government of Balochistan, a 1% NSR final tax regime payable to the Government of Pakistan (subject to a 15-year exemption following commercial production), and a 0.5% NSR export processing zone surcharge.

Barrick has started a full update of the project’s 2010 feasibility and 2011 expansion pre-feasibility studies. The Reko Diq feasibility study update is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, with 2028 targeted for first production.

During the first half 2023, the project team advanced the feasibility study, with engineering consultants engaged to advance key areas and commence basic engineering. Personnel continued to be mobilized for the project with the majority of new hires from Balochistan. The site works were advanced with a focus on camp and infrastructure. The refurbished Reko Diq airstrip was approved for flights and a weekly charter has commenced. The advanced social development commitments for the quarter were met with community programs being advanced at local communities. A second Primary School was established at the Mashki-Cha community and health and water access programs continued to be advanced at the four communities nearest to Reko Diq.

As at June 30, 2023, year-to-date project spend was $19 million (including $14 million in the second quarter of 2023). This amount is recorded in exploration, evaluation and project expense.

Loulo-Gounkoto Solar Project, Mali

The scope of this project is to design, supply and install a 40 MW (48 MW peak) photovoltaic solar farm with a 36 MVA battery energy storage system. Upon completion, we expect to realize a reduction of 23 million liters of fuel, which translates to a saving of approximately 63kt of CO2 equivalent emissions per annum. The project is staged in two phases of solar and battery storage. Phase 1 solar has been completed and 10MVA of battery storage is connected to the micro grid. Phase 2 trackers and inverters are undergoing commissioning. This project is tracking well ahead of schedule and the status is 92% complete (up from 62% as at March 31, 2023). Phase 1 is expected to be completed before the end of 2023 and Phase 2 is now scheduled for early 2024 rather than late 2024.

As at June 30, 2023, project spend was $66 million (including $9 million in the second quarter of 2023) out of an expected capital cost of approximately $90 million (100% basis).

Jabal Sayid Lode 1, Saudi Arabia

The scope of this project is to develop and mine a new orebody, located less than a kilometer from the existing lode at Jabal Sayid, following the completion of a feasibility study that comfortably meets our investment criteria. The project design includes underground capital development as well as ventilation, paste plant and underground mining infrastructure upgrades with stoping expected to commence in the third quarter of 2023. The project is 81% complete (up from 67% as at March 31, 2023) with the up cast ventilation raise bore shaft fully equipped and surface infrastructure undergoing punch listing. The reagent plant has been commissioned ahead of the scheduled treatment of Lode 1 ore. Civil construction for the new paste pump and Direct Flow Reactors is underway.

As at June 30, 2023, project spend was $35 million (including $2 million in the second quarter of 2023) out of an estimated capital cost of approximately $40 million (100% basis).

Lumwana New Mobile Equipment, Zambia

During the fourth quarter of 2022, we began a transition to an owner-miner fleet for waste stripping at Lumwana following a study which concluded that this option could result in a 20% cost reduction within the first five years versus contracted services. Separately, this strategy positions the operation well for future potential expansions including the Super Pit, which has the potential to extend Lumwana’s life into the 2060s. The accelerated pre-feasibility study is scheduled for completion towards the end of next year, with pre-construction expected to start in 2025 and 2028 targeted for first production.

This owner-miner transition is being executed concurrently with the Super Pit pre-feasibility study, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2022. The first deliveries of the owner stripping fleet were received at the beginning of 2023 with 19 rigid body dump trucks, 5 excavators and 1 ADT in production. Although the delivery schedule has experienced delays, the efficiency of the new fleet has exceeded that of the previous contractor fleet, partially offsetting the shortfall in waste stripping tonnes forecast for the remainder of the year.

As at June 30, 2023, project spend was $85 million (including $27 million in the second quarter of 2023) out of an estimated capital cost of approximately $115 million.

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Exploration and Mineral Resource Management

The foundation of our exploration strategy is a deep organizational understanding that discovery through exploration is a long-term investment and the main value driver for our business. Our exploration strategy has multiple elements that all need to be in balance to deliver on Barrick's business plan for growth and long-term sustainability.

First, we seek to deliver projects of a short to medium-term nature that will drive improvements in mine plans. Second, we seek to make new discoveries that add to Barrick's Tier One Gold Asset5 portfolio. Third, we work to optimize the value of our major undeveloped projects and finally, we seek to identify emerging opportunities early in their value chain and secure them by an earn-in or outright acquisition, where appropriate.

The following section summarizes the exploration results from the second quarter of 2023.

North America

Carlin, Nevada, USA8,9

Underground conversion drilling at Miramar continues to return high-grade intercepts along the highly prospective western Veld fault, with results including 12.1 meters TW at 8.36 g/t and 19.4 meters TW at 12.39 g/t Au (NTC-23022) and, 10.5 meters TW at 13.66 g/t Au and 7.7 meters TW at 8.18 g/t (NTC-23012). Drilling completed during the quarter has also highlighted a Veld-parallel structure to the east, the Merlin fault. Results include 13.3 meters TW at 5.07 g/t Au, and 53.7 meters TW at 19.07 g/t Au from NTC-23008, along strike of previously reported NTC-22015 (32.4 meters TW at 9.22 g/t Au), building on the continuity of high-grade along the Merlin fault, which can now be traced over 800 meters northwest to the Fallon target. These drilling results confirm the targeting model further closing the gap between Fallon and Miramar and are expected to add resources at the end of the year.

Further to the west in the Little Boulder Basin, follow up drilling at the Golden Egg target returned 3.8 meters at 6.70 g/t Au (LBB-23008) within 17.1 meters of lower grade mineralization hosted at the top of a sulfidized breccia body. Brecciation and gold anomalism continued for an additional 200 meters throughout the entire altered portions of the hole. Framework drilling 350 meters to the northeast returned weaker alteration, brecciation, and no significant intercepts. A framework hole to the northwest, targeting vectors from gold mineralization intersected to date and brecciation trends will be drilled in the third quarter.

To the west of Goldstrike, framework drilling along the East Bounding fault continues to build on the success of 2022. Three additional one-kilometer-spaced drill holes tested the complex fault system down-dip from legacy surface mines. Each hole to date has intersected >60 meters of anomalous breccia, intense alteration, and mineralized dykes. Assay results are pending and will be reported in the third quarter of 2023. Meanwhile, follow up drilling will continue to vector towards high-grade follow-up opportunities.

Cortez, Nevada, USA10,11

Drilling at the Hanson Footwall target continues to refine the edges of mineralization, as well as the internal continuity of the mineralization. Results returned for the quarter include CMX-23002 (7.3 meters at 15.33 g/t Au), CMX-23006A (12.6 meters at 13.71 g/t Au and 9.8 meters at 7.59 g/t) and CMX-23008 (15.7 meters at 10.39 g/t Au and 10.1 meters at 9.54 g/t). Drilling has now infilled approximately 400 meters of strike, confirming continuity and indicating that the mineralized structure remains open towards the northwest.

At Altenburg Hill at Robertson, step-out drilling on the edge of the existing resource pit design shows the potential for upside expansion beyond current resource shapes, with AHW-23001 (30.0 meters at 0.39 g/t Au).

Fourmile, Nevada, USA

Drilling is currently underway at Fourmile, focused on testing for additional high grade mineralization north of the current resource, as well as defining the high grade controls of the Dorothy zone reported in the fourth quarter of 2022. One hole stepping out 400 meters to the southwest of Dorothy and completed during the quarter intersected additional mineralized structures and favorable alteration. Three holes are currently in progress and approaching the target as of the end of the second quarter. A total of nine holes/core tails are planned for this year’s program.

Turquoise Ridge, Nevada, USA12,13

Conversion drilling at Turquoise Ridge Underground (TRUG) on the northern edge of development has intersected open-ended high-grade along the steeply-dipping Cricket Fault, with results including 18.5 meters TW at 30.16 g/t Au and 0.4 meters TW at 28.54 g/t (TUM-23203) and 17.0 meters TW at 19.56 g/t Au, 1.5 meters TW at 27.81 g/t and 3.5 meters TW at 9.39 g/t (TUM-23204), highlighting a potentially untested zone of growth towards the northeast. Further conversion drilling at TRUG include 9.2 meters TW at 8.33 g/t, 11.9 meters TW at 9.73 g/t Au and 5.3 meters TW at 10.47 g/t Au from hole TUM-23102 within the Getchell Fault Zone, highlighting the continuity of high-grade mineralization.

Underground drilling has started at the BBT Corridor, following the results reported in the first quarter. Drilling has the potential to add resources within the approximately 500 meter gap between the TRUG South Zone and the BBT Corridor to the south.

Targeting below the Mega Pit validated the potential for a high-grade, feeder-type target at depth. Framework drilling beneath the deposit confirms the presence of strong and continuous alteration on extensions of primary ore controlling structures below historic drill tests. The widely spaced framework holes intersected sulfidized mafic sills and sediments analogous to host rocks within the Mega pit over a 1.5 kilometer trend. Alteration and mineralization is open in multiple directions. Assays were received during the quarter from first quarter drilling and include 2.3 meters at 3.62 g/t Au (MFC-23001) and 18.5 meters at 3.18 g/t Au (MFC-23002). The horizon of favorable alteration and host stratigraphy is consistent at depth and will be followed up.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 42 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Results from framework drilling at the Fenceline and Lupin targets near the Mega Pit and Vista deposits, did not provide any reportable intersections but did confirm gold mineralization and elevated Carlin geochemistry in altered host lithologies and both targets require further follow-up work.

Pearl String, Nevada, USA

Rights to the Pearl String property, located in the Walker Lane mineral belt of western Nevada, were acquired through an exploration agreement in the fourth quarter of 2022 with the opportunity to earn a 100% interest from the underlying claim holder. In addition to the property covered by the exploration agreement, Barrick staked a large claim block around the property encompassing approximately 80 square kilometers of prospective ground. An initial phase of framework drilling on the project commenced at the end of the second quarter of 2023. This drilling aims to develop an understanding of the volcanic stratigraphy and identify the extents of alteration, and mineralization beneath post-mineral cover to help vector targeted drilling later in 2023.

Hemlo, Canada14

During the quarter, reserve conversion drilling targeting the C-Zone Deep and Lower C-Zone West produced results in line with the expectation, including 7.5 meters TW at 10.11 g/t Au and 3.5 meters TW at 8.18 g/t Au (90352319) at C-Zone Deep and 2.8 meters TW at 10.47 g/t Au (1152312) at Lower C-Zone West that continue to validate the updated geological model and the expectation of reserve additions at the end of the year.

At the Pic project to the west of Hemlo, focused mapping and prospecting is ongoing while awaiting results from soil and till surveys completed during the quarter.

Abitibi Belt, Canada

A binding term sheet was signed with Midland Exploration Inc. in April 2023 to earn-in up to 75% of the Patris property in the Southern Abitibi. The property straddles the La Pause fault, a crossover structure linking the Larder Lake – Cadillac Break and Porcupine-Destor Break, two of the most significantly endowed structures in North America.

Latin America & Asia-Pacific

Pueblo Viejo, Dominican Republic

At Pueblo Viejo, exploration activities focused on accelerating drill-ready targets in three high potential areas.

Following the completion of three scout drillholes in the Arroyo del Rey area last year, further data integration and interpretation has defined two new targets for further drilling to be tested by year end. At Pueblo Grande Norte, located to the west of Pueblo Viejo, detailed geological mapping, sampling and ground geophysics defined a copper-gold porphyry target, which will be drill tested in the third quarter of 2023.

In a target area, located one kilometer southeast of the Moore pit, detailed mapping, sampling and ground geophysics has identified two areas of coincident favorable host rocks, alteration, and both geochemical and high-chargeability IP anomalies. Drilling on these targets is expected to be completed by year end.

Regional Exploration, Dominican Republic

A binding term sheet was signed with Unigold Inc to earn-in up to 80% of the Neita Norte property in the Restauracion

District, located in the west of Dominican Republic, through the completion of a feasibility study, along with time and expenditure commitments. The agreement increases Barrick’s ground holding in the area to approximately 300 square kilometers. Fieldwork is planned, starting in the third quarter of 2023.

Veladero District, Argentina15

The first diamond drilling campaign at the Morro Escondido target was completed in May, with 34 drillholes completed, for a total of 7,326 meters. The drillholes defined an area of mineralization of 500 meters by 300 meters, elongated in a north-south direction. The system is still open to the west, north and south. Drillhole DDH-MES-13 (not previously reported) intercepted 203.0 meters at 0.63 g/t Au from 2.0 meters depth. The hole is located at the center of the system and it extends the previously intercepted mineralization from DDH-MES-01 80 meters to the west. Drillhole DDH-MES-25, located to west of the central area, intercepted 79.0 meters with 0.91 g/t Au from surface, including 16.0 meters at 1.61 g/t Au from surface. Other notable results this quarter include Drillhole DDH-MES-27, which intercepted 20.5 meters at 1.28 g/t Au, from 15.5 meters depth. Drillhole DDH-MES-33, intercepted 150.0 meters at 0.73 g/t Au, from surface, including 73.0 meters at 1.09 g/t Au from surface. The hole stopped in mineralization. In the northeast, DDH-MES-34 intercepted 51.0 meters at 2.94 g/t Au from 29.0 meters depth, including 20.0 meters at 4.69 g/t Au from 33.0 meters depth. The main focus of the drilling campaign was to improve understanding of the geological model and mineralization controls. The metallurgical sampling program continues with further bottle roll and column tests ongoing as part of the study to confirm the economical potential of Morro Escondido to feed Veladero’s process plant.

To the north of Morro Escondido, within the Ortiga Trend, Cerro Lila, is emerging as an exciting target with a large alteration footprint of 3 by 1.5 kilometers. Several lines of Controlled Source Audio Magneto Telluric survey were completed in the second quarter, identifying large resistivity anomalies which coincide with favorable host rocks and alteration. Follow-up surveys are planned during the third-quarter, aiming to define drill-ready targets.

In the South of the Veladero project, early results from geological mapping are encouraging and further work is planned to define the geological framework and potential of a porphyry-type target. An induced polarization survey is planned during the fourth quarter.

The small proof-of-concept drill program was completed at the Antenas-Chispas (2x4 kilometer footprint) target that sits immediately south of the current Veladero valley leach facility. Twenty holes for 5,400 meters of drilling was conducted, with no economic mineralization results thus far. However, the geological information has vectored into a reduced area of interest of 1 kilometer x 2 kilometer, where favorable hydrothermal alteration is evident, and possibly suggesting an Intermediate Sulphidation system. A small 3-hole follow-up program is being proposed for the second half of 2023.

Drilling of the Lama targets was suspended due to winter operating conditions. Geological reviews of results remain ongoing to determine a program for the fourth quarter of 2023. As previously reported, those targets with a low potential to pass investment filters have been removed from the portfolio.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 43 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Northern Chile

Fieldwork identified outcropping mineralization which confirmed the potential of the Guanaqueros project, located in northern Chile, and led to additional ground consolidation in the district. It is expected that detailed mapping and sampling, as well as geophysical surveys will define the geological framework and potential of the area.

El Indio Camp (Chile)16

In the El Indio district, a 6-hole drill program was completed on the Sancarron target searching for structurally controlled mineralization within a footprint below a landslide debris field. The results of the first 5-holes were inconclusive, with isolated intersections of structures and low-grade, but returned uneconomic gold assay results. The 6th and last hole drilled tested deep mineralization potential in the target, (at the 4,000 meter MSL, approximately 200-400 meters below surface). The hole intersected 19 meters at 2.72 g/t Au at a depth of 161 meters, and 35 meters at 11.06 g/t Au at a depth of 201 meters. Based on preliminary geological reviews, these results are interpreted to be connected to, and constrained within a structural zone, with a mineralization style similar to the historically mined El Indio deposit. Based on this concept, true-width intersections are anticipated to be in the order of 50% of reported drill widths.

Peru

At Austral, all permits were obtained to commence the first drilling campaign to test five separate targets. It is expected that drilling will be executed in the third quarter of 2023. In the Pataqueña district, geological mapping, sampling and ground geophysical surveys are defining a large area of interest. Geophysical anomalies are coincident with outcropping mineralized breccia bodies within a favorable structural framework. Further surveys are planned during the third quarter, aiming to define drill-ready targets by year end. In the Libelula District, early-stage work is returning encouraging results with a large area of interest being defined by favorably altered rocks and gold mineralization at surface.

Also in the Pataqueña district, further ground consolidation occurred through the acquisition of the Tres Marias concession in a property exchange with Teck Peru S.A. and the execution of an earn-in agreement with Kiwanda S.A.C., a subsidiary of Valor Resources, whereby Minera Barrick Peru may ultimately earn up to an 80% interest in the 6,000 hectares Charaque property.

Porgera, Papua New Guinea

As discussed on page 9, Porgera is currently on temporary care and maintenance and consequently, all exploration activities have ceased.

Japan Gold Strategic Alliance, Japan17

At Mizobe, the initial framework drilling project yielded positive results. Notably, significant mineralization was intersected in DH MZDD0023-003, which returned four broad mineralized intervals. Best results were 16.0 meters at 2.77 g/t Au from 122.75 meters, including 10.0 meters at 4.27 g/t Au.

These results support our revised understanding and interpretation of the system of gold mineralization related to disseminated pyrite and marcasite in the matrix of polymictic breccias, as opposed to low sulfidation

epithermal veins. Further modeling is in progress and additional drilling will be undertaken.

Asia Pacific

The exploration team is currently focusing on reviewing and evaluating new exploration opportunities across the Asia Pacific region.

Africa and Middle East

Senegal, Exploration18

At the Bambadji joint venture, exploration programs during the quarter have been executed to define and test systems with standalone orebody potential. Along the 26-kilometer long BMSZ, drilling programs are in progress to test the three highest ranked targets which show the geological features commonly associated with large deposits. Results are pending for the first target, Baqata, where an extension and widening of the system at depth has been observed. To the west of the BMSZ, a 3D induced polarization geophysical survey has defined a number of untested priority targets within the six-kilometer Kabewest corridor. A drill program is planned to test these opportunities in the third quarter.

In the Faleme Domain, emerging mineralized systems have been identified on the Bambadji South license where the maiden drill programs have highlighted extensive geochemical anomalies and confirmed in situ mineralization. At the Dalema joint venture, shallow RC and diamond drilling on the first set of priority targets returned promising results with indications of high grade: SFNRC002 (10.0 meters at 2.51 g/t Au), SFRC003 (16.0 meters at 1.35 g/t Au including 4.0 meters at 3.02 g/t Au), SFRC004 (21.0 meters at 1.94 g/t Au including 7.0 meters at 4.10 g/t Au), and SFDH001 (8.0 meters at 4.63 g/t Au). The mineralized system remains open at depth and laterally with a second phase of RC drilling and a ground geophysics survey planned to assess the overall scale of the system.

Loulo-Gounkoto, Mali19

A target generation and prioritization exercise focused along key prospective corridors has identified four high-impact opportunities to be aggressively advanced to deliver significant discoveries. Drilling to confirm models is planned to commence in the third quarter of 2023.

Recent geological review and model updates on the Baboto corridor is showing encouraging initial signs for a high-impact, high-grade system to be present at depth below the historic Baboto South target, a multi-kilometer scale mineralized system which remains largely untested below 100 meters vertical depth.

At Yalea, a review of the geological model based on a new result: YADH234 (11.25 meters at 22.3 g/t Au) and the surrounding previously drilled holes, indicates the Yalea system remains open to the south and shows potential for a repetition of the main “Yalea Purple-Patch” at depth. Drill programs are currently being designed to confirm this system extension model, with drilling planned to commence in the third quarter.

At Gounkoto, a geological model review is in progress to define high potential targets below the current resource for drill testing to commence in the fourth quarter. South of the mine, a review of the DB1 target has highlighted similarities in the setting of the high-grade Gounkoto deposit, situated along the same structural

corridor. Additionally, preliminary results from a 3D induced polarization survey completed over the target area have highlighted several untested opportunities that will be integrated for follow-up drilling in the third quarter.

Tongon, Cote D’Ivoire

Decrees awarding the Boundiali and Korokaha North exploration licenses were issued in the second quarter delivering new satellite exploration opportunities and allowing the Fonondara conversion drilling program to commence, which aims to confirm the viability of the deposit as a satellite for Tongon by year end.

Kibali, Democratic Republic of Congo20

In the KCD area, framework drilling is in progress, aiming to generate high-impact targets and build the geological model in the sparsely tested area between the KCD, Gorumbwa and Kombokolo orebodies. Geological observations from drilling support a corridor parallel to KCD with similar host rocks, deformation and alteration style. Results received for the first two holes provide additional encouragement, with DDD606 returning 13.4 meters at 3.30 g/t Au (including 1.1 meters at 19.07 g/t Au) and 11.25 meters at 3.12 g/t Au; and DDD607 returning 5.4 meters at 7.17 g/t Au.

At Oere, a drilling program is in progress to test for the possibility for a larger, high grade, extension of the orebody below the current drilling. The program to date has confirmed continuity of the mineralized system at depth with results pending. In addition, a review over the KZ North trend has highlighted the potential for additional blind high-grade lodes between the Mofu, Oere and Kalimva deposits. A program is being designed to advance the priority targets.

North Mara and Bulyanhulu, Tanzania

At North Mara, the Gokona West framework drilling confirmed Gokona-style host rocks and alteration at three targets within four kilometers of the Gokona pit. These opportunities are further supported by the results of recent geophysical surveys which show similar responses in tenor and scale to those over the Gokona-Gena system. The three priority targets are planned to be drill tested early in the third quarter.

At Bulyanhulu, drilling progressed testing for northwest extensions of the Bulyanhulu system. Observations and results are encouraging, with three targets confirming Bulyanhulu-style quartz veins and alteration, with high-grade assay results including 1.4 meters at 15.2 g/t Au (SBKDD002), 1 meter at 26.6 g/t Au (SBKRC006) and 7 meters at 3.6 g/t Au, including 1 meter at 16.3 g/t Au (SBKRC007). Results received to date are positive considering the wide drill spacing, and confirm three vein systems of between 300 and 650 meters strike length, which demonstrate potential for satellite opportunities within five kilometers of the Bulyanhulu plant.

Airborne geophysical surveying was completed during the quarter covering the regional exploration projects

of Itongo, Ndalilo, and Nzega North and South. Preliminary results demonstrate regional shear continuity within several blocks and highlight structural complexity and flexural/dilatational domains; features which are generally associated with increased prospectivity and will be used to guide focused screening programs planned for the third quarter. Other regional developments include the signing of option agreements securing a 231 square kilometers area covering the potential southerly continuation of the Bulyanhulu shear; as well as on the Mara Belt; the signing of option agreements covering 35 square kilometers along the prospective Gokona Corridor; and the granting of two exploration licenses over the high priority Tagota target.

Lumwana

During the second quarter, exploration works at Lumwana were mainly focused on updating the Kamisengo geological model following the completion of the exploration and first phase PFS drilling programs. The updated model presents an opportunity for growth extensions in multiple directions, establishing the overall extent of the Kamisengo system and the potential of the opportunities is a key focus for the third quarter.

Regarding the PFS study, the social and environmental baseline assessment for Kamisengo has been completed and the study to identify a location for a new tailings storage facility is well advanced. In addition, the draft plant designs and layout are progressing toward envisaged finalization in the third quarter together with the design of crushing and conveying infrastructure for the Chimi-Super pit and Kamisengo.

At Kababisa and Kamalamba, exploration drilling (results pending) and model reviews have supported the potential of the targets to provide additional flexibility to the operation based on indications of higher grades. Programs to define the extent of the mineralized systems and understand the potential impact are planned for the second half of the year.

Jabal Sayid, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

At Jabal Sayid, a 3D induced polarization survey is to be conducted during the third quarter of 2023 over the southwestern part of the mining license encompassing Janob and other emerging prospective trends identified last quarter, with the aim to identify additional targets for rapid progression.

At the recently awarded Umm ad Damar license, surface mapping and historic trench relogging has delineated VMS style alteration around the four known prospects and identified an emerging additional paleosurface expanding the prospective area for exploration. Ground geophysics have commenced to generate targets at depth and beneath the cover which obscures a significant proportion of the prospective trends.

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

In the second quarter of 2023, gold revenues increased by 7% compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to a higher realized gold price1, combined with higher sales volumes. The average market price for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was $1,976 per ounce, representing an all-time high quarterly average and a 5% increase versus the $1,890 per ounce average in the prior quarter. During the second quarter of 2023, the gold price ranged from $1,893 to $2,063 per ounce, and closed the quarter at $1,912 per ounce. Gold prices in the second quarter of 2023 continued to be volatile, impacted by economic and geopolitical concerns, global interest rate policies and outlooks, and high levels of inflation.

In the second quarter of 2023, gold production on an attributable basis was 57 thousand ounces higher than the prior quarter, primarily due to a stronger performance from Carlin following significant planned maintenance activity undertaken in the first four months of the year. This was combined with higher grades at Kibali in line with the mine plan. This was partially offset by lower production at Cortez due to mine sequencing; Turquoise Ridge due to planned autoclave maintenance; and Pueblo Viejo, where tie-in work and commissioning of the plant expansion project impacted production.

ATTRIBUTABLE GOLD PRODUCTION VARIANCE (000s oz)

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Copper revenues in the second quarter of 2023 increased by 11% compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by a lower realized copper price1. The average market price in the second quarter of 2023 was $3.84 per pound, representing a decrease of 5% from the $4.05 per pound average in the prior quarter. The realized copper price1 in the second quarter of 2023 was lower than the market copper price due to the impact of negative provisional pricing adjustments, whereas a positive provisional pricing adjustment was recorded in the prior quarter. During the second quarter of 2023, the copper price traded in a range of $3.57 to $4.17 per pound, and closed the quarter at $3.72 per pound. Copper prices in the second quarter of 2023 decreased over the prior quarter due to economic uncertainty and concerns about global growth following a period of tighter monetary policy. Longer term, expectations for increases in copper demand from infrastructure spending and the transition to a low-carbon global economy should continue to have a positive impact on copper demand and consequently, expectations of future prices.

Attributable copper production in the second quarter of 2023 was 19 million pounds higher compared to the prior quarter driven by higher grades processed at Lumwana which was due to improved mining rates resulting from the new fleet.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, gold revenues were largely in line with the same prior year period, as lower sales volumes were offset by a higher realized gold price1. The average market price for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 was $1,976 per ounce versus $1,871 per ounce for the same prior year period.

ATTRIBUTABLE GOLD PRODUCTION VARIANCE (000s oz)

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, attributable gold production was 34 thousand ounces lower than the same prior year period, primarily due to lower production at Pueblo Viejo due to lower grades processed combined with tie-in work and commissioning of the plant expansion project, as well as the completion of Phase 1 mining in May 2022 at Long Canyon (included in the “Other” category). This was partially offset by higher production at Cortez, driven by higher oxide mill and heap leach production from the Crossroads open pit and higher underground production.

Copper revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 10% compared to the same prior year period, due to lower sales volumes, combined with a slightly lower realized copper price1. In the second quarter of 2023, the realized copper price1 was lower than the market copper price due to the impact of negative provisional pricing adjustments, consistent with the same prior year period. This reflects the decrease in the copper market price during each of those quarters.

Attributable copper production for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 13 million pounds compared to the same prior year period, primarily at Lumwana due to lower grades processed and lower recoveries, partially offset by higher throughput.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, gold revenues decreased by 2% compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in sales volumes, partially offset by an increase in the realized gold price1. The average market price for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was $1,932 per ounce versus $1,874 per ounce for the same prior year period.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, attributable gold production was 72 thousand ounces lower than the same prior year period, primarily at Carlin resulting from the conversion of the Goldstrike autoclave to a conventional CIL process in the first quarter of 2023 and the closure of the Gold Quarry concentrator at the beginning of

the second quarter; at Long Canyon as Phase 1 mining was completed in May 2022; as well as at Pueblo Viejo due to lower grades processed and lower throughput. That was partially offset by higher oxide ore tonnes mined from Crossroads and Cortez Hills underground, combined with higher heap leach production at Cortez.

Copper revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 28% compared to the same prior year period, as result of lower sales volume, combined with a lower realized copper price1. For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, the realized copper price1 was slightly lower than the market copper price as a result of the impact of negative provisional pricing adjustments, consistent with the same prior year period, which reflects the decrease in the copper market price during each of those periods.

Attributable copper production for the six month period ended June 30, 2023, decreased by 26 million pounds compared to the same prior year period, mainly at Lumwana due to lower grades processed and lower recoveries, partially offset by higher throughput.

In the second quarter of 2023, gold cost of sales on a consolidated basis was in line with the first quarter of 2023.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 47 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our 45% interest in Kibali is equity accounted, and therefore the mine's cost of sales is excluded from our consolidated gold cost of sales. Our per ounce metrics, gold cost of sales2 and total cash costs1, includes our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees, and were 4% and 2% lower, respectively, than the prior quarter, mainly due to the impact of the sales mix across the portfolio, with a higher contribution of ounces at lower costs from Carlin and Kibali, partially offset by a lower contribution of ounces at higher costs from Cortez.

In the second quarter of 2023, gold all-in sustaining costs per ounce1, which also includes our proportionate share of equity method investees, decreased by 1% compared to the prior quarter. This was primarily due to lower total cash costs per ounce1, as described above, partially offset by higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

In the second quarter of 2023, copper cost of sales on a consolidated basis was in line with the prior quarter, as higher depreciation expense was offset by lower site operating costs due to improved mining efficiencies at Lumwana. Our 50% interests in Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid are equity accounted and therefore, we do not include their cost of sales in our consolidated copper cost of sales. Our per pound metrics, copper cost of sales2 and C1 cash costs1, include our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees. Copper cost of sales per pound2 and C1 cash costs per pound1 were 12% and 16% lower, respectively, compared to the prior period, primarily due to the impact of higher sales volumes, combined with the improved mining efficiencies at Lumwana as mentioned above.

In the second quarter of 2023, copper all-in sustaining costs1 per pound, which also includes our proportionate share of equity method investees, was 8% lower than the prior quarter, primarily due to lower C1 cash costs per pound1, as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 due to the delivery of the latest batch of replacement mining fleet at Lumwana.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, gold cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 3% higher than the same prior year period, primarily due to higher site operating costs driven by higher maintenance costs, partially offset by lower sales volume. Our 45% interest in Kibali is equity accounted and therefore, the mine's cost of sales is excluded from our consolidated gold cost of sales. Our per ounce metrics, gold cost of sales2 and total cash costs1, include our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees, and were 9% and 13% higher, respectively, compared to the same prior year period. This was mainly due to lower sales volumes, combined with higher contractor and maintenance costs, specifically at NGM where maintenance in the prior year was completed in a different quarter.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, gold all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 increased by 12% compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to the increase in total cash costs per ounce1, combined with higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 on a per ounce basis.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, copper cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 23% higher than the same prior year period, primarily due to

increased site operating costs and higher depreciation, partially offset by lower sales volumes and decreased royalties. Our 50% interests in Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid are equity accounted and therefore, we do not include their cost of sales in our consolidated copper cost of sales. Our per pound metrics, copper cost of sales2 and C1 cash costs1, includes our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees. Copper cost of sales per pound2 and C1 cash costs1 were 35% and 34% higher, respectively, compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to lower grades processed and decreased capitalized waste stripping at Lumwana.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, copper all-in sustaining costs per pound1 was 9% higher than the same prior year period, primarily reflecting higher C1 cash costs per pound1, as discussed above, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 resulting from decreased capitalized waste stripping at Lumwana.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, cost of sales applicable to gold was 7% higher than the same prior year period, mainly due to higher contractor and maintenance costs, as described above. Our 45% interest in Kibali is equity accounted and therefore, we do not include its cost of sales in our consolidated gold cost of sales. On a per ounce basis, gold cost of sales2 and total cash costs1, after including our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees, were 12% and 15% higher, respectively, than the same prior year period. This was primarily due to lower sales volumes, the impact of lower grades processed, as well as increased contractor and maintenance costs, as described above.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, gold all-in sustaining costs per ounce1 increased by 15% compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to an increase in total cash costs per ounce1 and higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures1.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, copper cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 18% higher than the same prior year period, primarily due to higher site operating costs. This was combined with higher depreciation expense, partially offset by lower royalty expenses as a result of lower realized copper prices1. Our 50% interests in Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid are equity accounted and therefore, we do not include their cost of sales in our consolidated copper cost of sales. Our per pound metrics, copper cost of sales2 and C1 cash costs1, include our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees. Copper cost of sales per pound2, and C1 cash costs per pound1 were 40% and 42% higher, respectively, compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to higher operating costs resulting from lower grades processed and lower capitalized waste stripping at Lumwana.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, copper all-in sustaining costs per pound1 were 14% higher than the same prior year period, primarily due to increased C1 cash costs per pound1, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 which was mainly driven by a decrease in capitalized waste stripping at Lumwana.

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

In the second quarter of 2023, total consolidated capital expenditures on a cash basis were 12% higher than the first quarter of 2023 due to an increase in minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 and to a lesser extent project capital expenditures1. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 increased by 15% compared to the prior quarter, mainly at Loulo-Gounkoto due to higher capitalized underground development following the commencement of production at the Gounkoto underground mine, at Carlin due to increased capitalized waste stripping, and at Lumwana due to the replacement of mining fleet. The increase in project capital expenditures1 of 5% was primarily driven by higher expenditures at the TS Solar project at NGM, combined with the plant expansion and mine life extension project at Pueblo Viejo. This was largely offset by delayed spending on the TSF at Loulo-Gounkoto.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, total consolidated capital expenditures on a cash basis increased by 2% compared to the same prior year period. This was mainly due to an increase in project capital expenditures1, while minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 were in line with the same prior year period. Project capital expenditures1 increased by 5% compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to higher expenditures at the TS Solar project at NGM as construction began in the fourth quarter of 2022, combined with the continued investment in the new owner mining fleet at Lumwana. This was partially offset by the completion of the initial development of the Gounkoto underground mine in the first quarter of 2023. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 were in line with the same prior year period as increased expenditures on the tailings buttressing project and new equipment purchases in the underground at Loulo-Gounkoto, and an increase in projects related to processing and underground facilities at Carlin was offset by decreased capitalized waste stripping at both Lumwana and Cortez.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, total consolidated capital expenditures on a cash basis increased by 7% compared to the same prior year period

due to an increase in both project capital expenditures1 and minesite sustaining capital expenditures1. Higher project capital expenditures1 of 13% were mainly due to the investment in the new owner mining fleet at Lumwana, combined with higher expenditures at the TS Solar project at NGM as construction began in the fourth quarter of 2022. This was partially offset by lower project capital expenditures1 incurred on the plant expansion at Pueblo Viejo. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures1 increased by 4% compared to the same prior year period. This was mainly due to increased expenditures on the tailings buttressing project and new equipment purchases in the underground at Loulo-Gounkoto, higher capitalized waste stripping at North Mara, and an increase in project spend on processing and underground facilities at Carlin. This was partially offset by lower capitalized waste stripping at Lumwana and Cortez.

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

In the second quarter of 2023, general and administrative expenses decreased by $11 million compared to the first quarter of 2023, driven by lower share-based compensation expense due to a decrease in our share price during the current quarter compared with an increase in the prior quarter. This was combined with lower corporate administration costs related to the timing of external services costs.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2 million compared to the same prior year period resulting from lower corporate administration costs related to the timing of external services costs, while share-based compensation remained in line with the same prior year period.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, general and administrative expenses decreased by $17 million compared to the same prior year period. This was due to lower share-based compensation expense attributed to a decrease in our share price in the current period compared to a more modest decrease in the same prior year period, combined with lower corporate administration expense.

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Exploration, evaluation and project expenses for the second quarter of 2023 increased by $30 million compared to the first quarter of 2023. This was driven by higher project costs primarily at Reko Diq as we engaged engineering consultants to advance key areas of the feasibility study and commence basic engineering. This was combined with higher global exploration and evaluation costs, mainly in North America.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

Exploration, evaluation and project expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 were in line with the same prior year period, as higher project costs at Reko Diq due to the ramp up of activities at the reconstituted project and at Lumwana relating to the ongoing pre-feasibility study for the potential super pit were offset by lower project costs at Pueblo Viejo as the technical and social studies for additional tailings storage capacity were completed at the end of 2022 and at Pascua-Lama as the Chilean side entered closure.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

Exploration, evaluation and project expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 were $5 million higher than the same prior year period, primarily due to higher project costs at Lumwana related to the ongoing pre-feasibility study for the potential super pit and at Reko Diq due to the ramp up of activities at the reconstituted project, partially offset by lower project costs at Pueblo Viejo as the technical and social studies for additional tailings storage capacity were completed at the end of 2022 and at Pascua-Lama as the Chilean side entered closure.

(March 31, 2023: $8 million and June 30, 2022: $9 million and $17 million, respectively).

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

In the second quarter of 2023, finance costs, net were 24% lower than the prior quarter, mainly due to lower interest expense. Interest expense and finance income were impacted in both the current quarter and the prior quarter by the restricted cash and associated financial liability owed to Antofagasta plc following the reconstitution of the Reko Diq project which occurred on December 15, 2022. A cash payment of $962 million was remitted to Antofagasta plc to extinguish the financial liability during the second quarter resulting in the lower interest expense. Finance income was further impacted by higher market interest rates.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, finance costs, net decreased by 51% compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to higher finance income earned on our cash balance resulting from an increase in market interest rates. In addition to this, interest expense and finance income were higher versus the same prior year period due to the restricted cash and associated financial liability owed to Antofagasta plc following the reconstitution of the Reko Diq project which occurred on December 15, 2022. As explained above, this impact ended during the second quarter of 2023.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, finance costs, net were 42% lower than the same prior year period as a result of higher finance income earned on our cash balance, slightly offset by higher accretion, both resulting from an increase in market interest rates. In addition to this, interest expense and finance income were higher versus the same prior year period due to the restricted cash and associated financial liability owed to Antofagasta plc following the reconstitution of the Reko Diq project which occurred on December 15, 2022. As explained above, this impact ended during the second quarter of 2023.

Loss on Currency Translation (Gain)

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Gain on currency translation in the second quarter of 2023 was $12 million compared to a loss of $38 million in the prior quarter. The gain in the current quarter mainly related to the appreciation of the Zambian kwacha which represents a reversal of the significant currency weakness that was experienced during the prior quarter. The weakness in the Zambian currency during the first quarter of 2023 was a result of high inflation levels in the country and concerns regarding ongoing negotiations related to the restructuring of the country’s debt. In the second quarter of 2023, the country finalized a debt restructuring deal which led to the reversal of the currency weakness that was experienced in the prior quarter. This currency fluctuation resulted in a revaluation of our local currency denominated value-added tax receivable and local currency denominated payable balances.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

Gain on currency translation in the second quarter of 2023 was $12 million compared to a loss of $6 million in the same prior year period. The gain in the current quarter mainly related to the appreciation of the Zambian kwacha, as discussed above. The losses in the same prior year

period mainly related to the devaluation of the Argentine peso, the Chilean peso and the Canadian dollar, partially offset by the appreciation of the Zambian kwacha. These currency fluctuations resulted in a revaluation of our local currency denominated value-added tax receivable and local currency denominated payable balances.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

Loss on currency translation for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 increased by $17 million compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to fluctuations of the Zambian kwacha during the relevant periods. Fluctuations in this currency versus the US dollar revalue our local currency denominated value-added tax receivable balances and local currency denominated payable balances.

Closed Mine Rehabilitation

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

Closed mine rehabilitation in the second quarter of 2023 was a gain of $13 million compared to an expense of $22 million in the prior quarter. The gain mainly related to an increase in the market real risk-free rate used to discount the closure provision during the current period compared to a decrease in the market real risk-free rate in the prior quarter.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

Closed mine rehabilitation gain in the second quarter of 2023 was $13 million compared to $128 million in the same prior year period. The decreased gain mainly related to a smaller increase in the market real risk-free rate used to discount the closure provision in the current period compared to the same prior year period.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

Closed mine rehabilitation for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was an expense of $9 million compared to a gain of $125 million in the same prior year period. This was mainly related to a decrease in the market real risk-free rate used to discount the closure provision in the current period, whereas the market real risk-free rate increased in the same prior year period.

Other Expense (Income)

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, other expense was $18 million compared to $52 million in the prior quarter. Other expenses in both the current and prior quarter were mainly related to care and maintenance expenses at Porgera. The prior quarter was further impacted by the $30 million commitment we made (shared equally between North Mara and Bulyanhulu) towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania, per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, other expense was $18 million compared to $2 million in the same prior year period. Other expense in both the current and same prior year period mainly relate to care and maintenance expenses at Porgera. In the same prior year period, this was largely offset by a gain on the sale of miscellaneous assets.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 51 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, other expense was $70 million compared to other income of $9 million in the same prior year period. The other expense in the current year mainly related to the $30 million commitment we made (shared equally between North Mara and Bulyanhulu) towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania, per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership, combined with care and maintenance expenses at Porgera. Other income in the same prior year period mainly related to the insurance claim associated with the mechanical mill failure at the Goldstrike roaster of $22 million and a gain on the sale of miscellaneous assets, partially offset by care and maintenance expenses at Porgera.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $264 million in the second quarter of 2023. The unadjusted effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2023 was 34% of income before income taxes.

The underlying effective income tax rate on ordinary income in the second quarter of 2023 was 29% after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation losses on deferred tax balances; the impact of updates to the rehabilitation provision for our non-operating mines; the impact of non-deductible foreign exchange losses; the impact of the Porgera mine being placed on care and maintenance; the impact of the settlement agreement to resolve the tax dispute at Porgera; the impact of our commitment towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania; and the impact of other expense adjustments.

We record deferred tax charges or credits if changes in facts or circumstances affect the estimated tax basis of assets and therefore, the expectations of our ability to realize deferred tax assets. The interpretation of tax regulations and legislation as well as their application to our business is complex and subject to change. We have significant amounts of deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards, and also deferred tax liabilities. We also have significant amounts of unrecognized deferred tax assets (e.g. for tax losses in Canada). Potential changes in any of these amounts, as well as our ability to realize deferred tax assets, could significantly affect net income or cash flow in future periods. For further details on income tax expense, refer to note 9 of the Financial Statements.

Withholding Taxes

In the second quarter of 2023, we recorded $16 million of dividend withholding taxes related to the undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries in the United States.

Nevada Gold Mines

Nevada Gold Mines is a limited liability company treated as a flow through partnership for US tax purposes. The partnership is not subject to federal income tax directly, but each of its partners is liable for tax on its share of the profits of the partnership. As such, Barrick accounts for its current and deferred income tax associated with this investment (61.5% share) following the principles in IAS 12.

OECD Pillar Two model rules

We have applied the exception available under the amendments to IAS 12 published by the IASB in May 2023 and are not recognizing or disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes given relevant information is not known or reasonably estimable at this time. Furthermore, since Pillar Two legislation is not yet enacted or substantively enacted in the main jurisdictions where we operate, we continue working on assessing our exposure to Pillar Two income taxes and will provide an update once these dates are known.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets were $45.3 billion as at June 30, 2023, slightly lower than total assets as at December 31, 2022.

Our asset base is primarily comprised of non-current assets such as property, plant and equipment and goodwill, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of the mining business and our history of growing through acquisitions. Other significant assets include production inventories, indirect taxes recoverable and receivable, concentrate sales receivable, other government and joint venture related receivables, as well as cash and equivalents.

Total liabilities at June 30, 2023 were $13.8 billion, lower than total liabilities at December 31, 2022. Our liabilities are primarily comprised of debt, other non-current liabilities (such as provisions and deferred income tax liabilities), and accounts payable. Both total assets and total liabilities were lower than total assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022 primarily due to the restricted cash and associated financial liability owed to Antofagasta plc following the reconstitution of the Reko Diq project which occurred on December 15, 2022. A cash payment of $962 million was remitted to Antofagasta plc to extinguish the financial liability during the second quarter of 2023.

Financial Position and Liquidity

We believe we have sufficient financial resources to meet our business requirements for the foreseeable future, including capital expenditures, working capital requirements, interest payments, environmental rehabilitation, securities buybacks and dividends. During the second quarter of 2023, our cash balance declined as

capital expenditures and dividends exceeded the cash flow from operating activities and dividends from equity method investments.

Total cash and cash equivalents as at June 30, 2023 were $4.2 billion. Our capital structure comprises a mix of debt, non-controlling interest (primarily at NGM) and shareholders’ equity. As at June 30, 2023, our total debt was $4.8 billion (debt, net of cash and equivalents was $617 million) and our debt-to-equity ratio was 0.15:1. This compares to total debt as at December 31, 2022 of $4.8 billion (debt, net of cash and equivalents was $342 million), and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.15:1.

Uses of cash for the remainder of 2023 include capital commitments of $456 million, and we expect to incur attributable minesite sustaining1 and project capital expenditures1 of approximately $1,100 to $1,500 million during the remainder of the year, based on our guidance range on page 13. For the remainder of 2023, we have contractual obligations and commitments of $513 million for supplies and consumables. In addition, we have $145 million in interest payments and other amounts as detailed in the table on page 56. We expect to fund these commitments through operating cash flow, which is our primary source of liquidity, as well as our existing cash balances as necessary. As discussed on page 9, we have authorized a share buyback program, where we may purchase up to $1 billion of Barrick shares. As at June 30, 2023, we had not purchased any shares under this program in 2023.

We also have a performance dividend policy that will enhance the return to shareholders when the Company’s liquidity is strong. In addition to our base dividend, the amount of the performance dividend on a quarterly basis will be based on the amount of cash, net of debt, on our consolidated balance sheet at the end of each quarter as per the schedule below.

The declaration and payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the company’s financial results, cash requirements, future prospects, the number of outstanding common shares, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

Our operating cash flow is dependent on the ability of our operations to deliver projected future cash flows. The market price of gold and to a lesser extent, copper, are the primary drivers of our operating cash flow. Other options to enhance liquidity include further portfolio optimization and the creation of new joint ventures and partnerships; issuance of equity securities in the public markets or to private investors, which could be undertaken for liquidity enhancement and/or in connection with establishing a strategic partnership; issuance of long-term debt securities in the public markets or to private investors (Moody’s and S&P currently rate Barrick’s outstanding long-term debt as investment grade, with ratings of A3 and BBB+, respectively); and drawing on the $3.0 billion available under our undrawn Credit Facility (subject to compliance with covenants and the making of certain representations and warranties, this facility is available for drawdown as a source of financing). In May 2023, we completed an amendment of our undrawn $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, including an extension of the termination date by one year to May 2028. The revolving credit facility incorporates sustainability-linked metrics and are made up of annual environmental and social performance targets directly influenced by Barrick's actions, rather than based on external ratings. The performance targets include Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity, water use efficiency (reuse and recycling rates), and TRIFR3. Barrick may incur positive or negative pricing adjustments on drawn credit spreads and standby fees based on its sustainability performance versus the targets that have been set. The key financial covenant in our undrawn Credit Facility requires Barrick to maintain a net debt to total capitalization ratio of less than 0.60:1. Barrick’s net debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.02:1 as at June 30, 2023 (0.01:1 as at December 31, 2022).

a.The difference between the net change in debt on a cash basis and the net change on the balance sheet is due to changes in non-cash charges, specifically the unwinding of discounts and amortization of debt issue costs.

b.For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we declared and paid dividends per share in US dollars totaling $0.10 and $0.20, respectively (March 31, 2023: declared and paid $0.10; June 30, 2022: declared and paid $0.20 and $0.30, respectively).

Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023

In the second quarter of 2023, we generated $832 million in operating cash flow, compared to $776 million in the prior quarter. The increase of $56 million was primarily due to an increase in realized gold prices1, lower total cash costs/C1 cash costs per ounce/pound1, as well as higher gold and copper sales volumes, partially offset by a decrease in realized copper prices1. Operating cash flow was further affected by a reduction in the unfavorable movement in working capital, mainly due to a favorable movement in accounts payable and inventory, partially offset by an unfavorable movement in other current assets and accounts receivable. These results were further impacted by an increase in cash taxes paid and higher interest paid as a result of the timing of semi-annual interest payments on our bonds.

Cash outflows from investing activities in the second quarter of 2023 were $743 million, compared to $618 million in the prior quarter. The increase of $125 million was primarily due to higher capital expenditures, mainly at Loulo-Gounkoto due to higher capitalized underground development, at Carlin due to increased capitalized waste stripping, and at Lumwana due to the replacement of mining fleet. This was combined with a decrease in dividends received from equity method investments, in particular Kibali and Jabal Sayid.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 54 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Net financing cash outflows for the second quarter of 2023 amounted to $309 million, compared to $221 million in the prior quarter. The increase of $88 million is primarily due to higher net disbursements paid to non-controlling interests, primarily to Newmont in relation to their interests in NGM and Pueblo Viejo.

Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022

In the second quarter of 2023, we generated $832 million in operating cash flow, compared to $924 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $92 million was primarily due to lower gold and copper sales volumes, higher gold and copper total cash costs/C1 cash costs per ounce/pound1 and a lower realized copper price1, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1. Operating cash flow was also positively impacted by higher interest received as a result of an increase in market interest rates and lower cash taxes paid.

Cash outflows from investing activities in the second quarter of 2023 were $743 million compared to $301 million in the same prior year period. The increase of $442 million was primarily due to lower dividends received from equity method investments, in particular Kibali, combined with proceeds received from investment sales in the same prior year period, which included the sale of our interest in Endeavour Mining, i-80 Gold Corp. and Perpetua Resources Corp.

Net financing cash outflows for the second quarter of 2023 amounted to $309 million compared to $727 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $418 million is primarily due to lower dividends paid, and the repurchase of 8.5 million shares under the share buyback program in the same prior year period.

YTD 2023 compared to YTD 2022

For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, we generated $1,608 million in operating cash flow, compared to $1,928 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $320 million was primarily due to higher total cash costs/C1 cash costs per ounce/pound1, lower gold and copper sales volumes, and a lower realized copper price1, partially offset by a higher realized gold price1. This was combined with an unfavorable movement in working capital, mainly in accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, partially offset by a favorable movement in other current assets. These results were further impacted by lower cash taxes paid and an increase in interest received as a result of higher market interest rates.

Cash outflows from investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 were $1,361 million compared to $292 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $1,069 million was primarily due to lower dividends received from equity method investments, in particular Kibali, combined with proceeds received from investment sales in the same prior year period, which included the sale of our interest in Endeavour Mining, Skeena Resources Ltd., i-80 Gold Corp. and Perpetua Resources Corp. Cash outflows from investing activities was further impacted by higher capital expenditures.

Net financing cash outflows for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 amounted to $530 million, compared to $1,133 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $603 million is primarily due to lower net disbursements paid to non-controlling interests, primarily to Newmont in relation to their interests in NGM, combined with lower dividends paid, and the repurchase of 8.5 million shares under our current share buyback program in the same prior year period.

d.Amounts presented on a consolidated cash basis.

Our recent financial results reflect our emphasis on cost discipline, an agile management structure that empowers our site based leadership teams and a portfolio of Tier One Gold Assets5. This, combined with a trend of historically elevated gold and copper prices, has resulted in strong operating cash flows over several quarters. The positive free cash flow1 generated, together with the proceeds from various divestitures, have allowed us to continue to reinvest in our business, strengthen our balance sheet and to increase returns to shareholders.

Net earnings has also been impacted by the following items in each quarter, which have been excluded from adjusted net earnings1. In the first quarter of 2023, we recorded a loss on currency translation of $38 million, mainly related to the devaluation of the Zambian kwacha, and a $30 million commitment towards the expansion of

education infrastructure in Tanzania per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $950 million (net of non-controlling interests) related to Loulo-Gounkoto, a non-current asset impairment of $318 million (net of tax) and a net realizable value impairment of leach pad inventory of $27 million (net of tax) at Veladero, and a non-current asset impairment of $42 million (net of tax and non-controlling interests) at Long Canyon. In addition, we recorded an impairment reversal of $120 million and a gain of $300 million following the completion of the transaction allowing for the reconstitution of the Reko Diq project. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we recorded a gain of $118 million (net of tax and non-controlling interest) related to the disposition of Lone Tree.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as defined in our 2022 annual MD&A.    

Together, the internal control frameworks provide internal control over financial reporting and disclosure. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, the effectiveness of internal control is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may change.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, management will continue to monitor and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and may make modifications from time to time as considered necessary.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 57 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

IFRS Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

Management has discussed the development and selection of our critical accounting estimates with the Audit & Risk Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Audit & Risk Committee has reviewed the disclosure relating to such estimates in conjunction with its review of this MD&A. The accounting policies and methods we utilize determine how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they may require management to make estimates or rely on assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluation of certain financial assets, derivative contracts and post-retirement assets. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in note 2 of the Financial Statements, including a summary of current and future changes in accounting policies.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Certain accounting estimates have been identified as being “critical” to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations because they require us to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain; or there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions and estimates. Our significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are disclosed in note 3 of the accompanying Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per

Share

Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure which 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. Furthermore, foreign currency translation gains/losses are not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the reporting periods presented. The tax effect and non-controlling interest of the adjusting items are also excluded to reconcile the amounts to Barrick’s share on a post-tax basis, consistent with net earnings.

As noted, we use this measure for internal purposes. Management’s internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the types of items we adjust for. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables investors and analysts to better understand the underlying operating performance of our core mining business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business segments and a review of the non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts and other mining companies.

Adjusted net earnings 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. 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.

Other (income) expense adjustments for all periods were also impacted by changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision and care and maintenance expenses at Porgera.

e.Non-controlling interest and tax effect for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 primarily relates to loss on currency translation.

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

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash.

Free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized 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 operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Capital Expenditures

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 and all-in 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 measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Total cash costs per ounce, All-in sustaining costs per ounce, All-in costs per ounce, C1 cash costs per pound and All-in sustaining costs per pound

Total cash costs per ounce, all-in sustaining costs per ounce and all-in costs per ounce are non-GAAP financial measures which are calculated based on the definition published by the WGC (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 its ability to generate positive cash flow, both on an individual site basis and an overall company basis.

Total cash costs start with our cost of sales related to gold production and removes depreciation, the non-controlling interest of cost of sales and includes by-product credits. All-in sustaining costs start with total cash costs 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.

All-in costs starts with all-in sustaining costs and adds additional costs that reflect the varying costs of producing gold over the life-cycle of a mine, including: project capital expenditures (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) and other non-sustaining costs (primarily non-sustaining leases, exploration and evaluation costs, community relations costs and general and administrative costs that are not associated with current operations). 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.

We believe that our use of total cash costs, all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs 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. Due to the capital-intensive nature of the industry and the long useful lives over which these items are depreciated, there can be a significant timing difference between net earnings calculated in accordance with IFRS and the amount of free

cash flow that is being generated by a mine and therefore we believe these measures are useful non-GAAP operating metrics and supplement our IFRS disclosures. These measures are not representative of all of our cash expenditures as they do not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments. These measures do not include depreciation or amortization.

Total cash costs per ounce, all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs 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.

In addition to presenting these metrics on a by-product basis, we have calculated these metrics on a co-product basis. Our co-product metrics remove the impact of other metal sales that are produced as a by-product of our gold production from cost per ounce calculations but does not reflect a reduction in costs for costs associated with other metal sales.

C1 cash costs per pound and all-in sustaining costs per pound are non-GAAP financial 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 production taxes 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 and production taxes, reclamation cost accretion and amortization and write-downs taken on inventory to net realizable value.

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.

b.Other

Other adjustments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 include the removal of total cash costs and by-product credits associated with Pierina, Golden Sunlight, and Buzwagi, which all are producing incidental ounces, of $nil and $3 million, respectively (March 31, 2023: $3 million; June 30, 2022: $7 million and $10 million, respectively).

c.Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests include non-controlling interests related to gold production of $533 million and $1,062 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 (March 31, 2023: $529 million and June 30, 2022: $505 million and $981 million, respectively). 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 sustaining if it supports current mine operations and project if it relates to future projects. Refer to page 50 of this MD&A.

e.Capital expenditures 

Capital expenditures are related to our gold sites only and are split between minesite sustaining and project capital expenditures. Project capital expenditures are 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. Significant projects in the current year are the plant expansion project at Pueblo Viejo and the solar projects at NGM and Loulo-Gounkoto. Refer to page 49 of this MD&A.

f.Rehabilitation—accretion and amortization

Includes depreciation on the assets related to rehabilitation provisions of our gold operations and accretion on the rehabilitation provision 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 interest of NGM, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Tongon, North Mara and Bulyanhulu operating segments. It also includes capital expenditures applicable to our equity method investment in Kibali. Figures remove the impact of Pierina, Golden Sunlight, and Buzwagi. The impact is summarized as the following:

a.Includes Goldrush.

b.These results represent our 61.5% interest in Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Phoenix and Long Canyon.

c.Non-recurring items 

These costs are not indicative of our cost of production and have been excluded from the calculation of total cash costs.

d.Other 

Other adjustments at Carlin include the removal of total cash costs and by-product credits associated with Emigrant starting the second quarter of 2022, which is producing incidental ounces.

e.Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration, evaluation and project expenses are presented as minesite sustaining if it supports current mine operations and project if it relates to future projects. Refer to page 50 of this MD&A.

f.Capital expenditures

Capital expenditures are related to our gold sites only and are split between minesite sustaining and project capital expenditures. Project capital expenditures are 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. Significant projects in the current year are the plant expansion project at Pueblo Viejo and the solar projects at NGM and Loulo-Gounkoto. Refer to page 49 of this MD&A.

g.Rehabilitation - accretion and amortization  

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

h.Cost of sales per ounce

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).

i.Per ounce figures    

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

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

■Income tax expense;

■Finance costs;

■Finance income; and

■Depreciation.

Management believes that EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Management uses EBITDA for this purpose. EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes whereby EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or “EBITDA multiple” that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company.

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 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 do not necessarily reflect the underlying operating results for the periods presented.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA 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 and adjusted 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 and adjusted EBITDA differently.

Realized Price

Realized price is a non-GAAP financial 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.

1Further information on these non-GAAP financial measures, including detailed reconciliations, is included on pages 58 to 75 of this MD&A.

2Gold 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). 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). References to attributable basis means our 100% share of Hemlo and Lumwana, our 61.5% share of NGM, our 60% share of Pueblo Viejo, our 80% share of Loulo-Gounkoto, our 89.7% share of Tongon, our 84% share of North Mara, and Bulyanhulu, our 50% share of Veladero, Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid, our 47.5% share of Porgera and our 45% share of Kibali.

3Total reportable incident frequency rate ("TRIFR") is a ratio calculated as follows: number of reportable injuries x 1,000,000 hours divided by the total number of hours worked. Reportable injuries include fatalities, lost time injuries, restricted duty injuries, and medically treated injuries. Lost time injury frequency rate ("LTIFR") is a ratio calculated as follows: number of lost time injuries x 1,000,000 hours divided by the total number of hours worked.

4Class 1 - High Significance is defined as an incident that causes significant negative impacts on human health or the environment or an incident that extends onto publicly accessible land and has the potential to cause significant adverse impact to surrounding communities, livestock or wildlife.

5A Tier One Gold Asset is an asset with a reserve potential to deliver a minimum 10-year life, annual production of at least 500,000 ounces of gold and total cash costs per ounce over the mine life that are in the lower half of the industry cost curve. A Tier One Copper Asset is an asset with a reserve potential of greater than five million tonnes of contained copper and C1 cash costs per pound over the mine life that are in the lower half of the industry cost curve.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 89 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Barrick Gold Corporation. Tabular dollar amounts in millions of United States dollars, unless otherwise shown.

1 n Corporate Information

Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”, “we” or the “Company”) is a corporation governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company’s corporate office is located at Brookfield Place, TD Canada Trust Tower, 161 Bay Street, Suite 3700, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2S1. The Company’s registered office is 925 West Georgia Street, Suite 1600, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3L2. Barrick shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol GOLD and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ABX. We are principally engaged in the production and sale of gold and copper, as well as related activities such as exploration and mine development. We sell our gold and copper into the world market.

We have ownership interests in producing gold mines that are located in Argentina, Canada, Côte d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Dominican Republic, Mali, Tanzania and the United States. Our mine in Papua New Guinea was placed on care and maintenance in April 2020. We have ownership interests in producing copper mines in Chile, Saudi Arabia and Zambia. We also have various projects located throughout the Americas, Asia and Africa.

2 n Material Accounting Policy Information

a) Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with Barrick’s most recently issued Annual Report, which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Annual Financial Statements"), and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements, except as otherwise noted in Note 2b. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 7, 2023.

b)  New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on Barrick in the current or future reporting periods.

3 n Critical Judgements, Estimates, Assumptions and Risks

The judgments, estimates, assumptions and risks discussed here reflect updates from the 2022 Annual Financial Statements. For judgments, estimates, assumptions and risks related to other areas not discussed in these interim consolidated financial statements, please

refer to Notes 3 and 28 of the 2022 Annual Financial Statements.

a) Provision for Environmental Rehabilitation (“PER”)

Provisions are updated each reporting period for changes to expected cash flows and for the effect of changes in the discount rate and foreign exchange rates. The change in estimate is added or deducted from the related asset and depreciated over the expected economic life of the operation to which it relates. In the case of closed sites, changes in estimates and assumptions are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of income. We recorded a net decrease of $76 million (2022: $413 million net decrease) to the PER at our minesites for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and a net decrease of $38 million (2022: $439 million net decrease) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to spending incurred during the year, partially offset by accretion.

Adjustments to the estimated amount and timing of future closure and rehabilitation cash flows are a normal occurrence in light of the significant judgments and estimates involved. Rehabilitation provisions are adjusted as a result of changes in estimates and assumptions and are accounted for prospectively. In the fourth quarter of each year, our life of mine plans are updated and that typically results in an update to the rehabilitation provision.

b)    Pascua-Lama

The Pascua-Lama project received $506 million as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: $457 million) in value added tax (“VAT”) refunds in Chile relating to the development of the Chilean side of the project. Under the current arrangement, this amount must be repaid if the project does not evidence exports for an amount of $3,538 million within a term that expires on December 31, 2026, unless extended. In 2022, the Chilean government proposed changes to Chilean law on VAT refunds that may affect the timeframe and amount of these refunds. The proposed changes were rejected in a vote by the Lower House of Congress on March 8, 2023, and Barrick will continue to monitor the status of these proposals in the event that they are reintroduced by the Chilean government.

In addition, we have recorded $23 million in VAT recoverable in Argentina as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: $31 million) relating to the development of the Argentinean side of the project. These amounts may not be fully recoverable if the project does not enter into production and are subject to foreign currency risk as the amounts are recoverable in Argentine pesos.

c)    Contingencies

Contingencies can be either possible assets or possible liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will be resolved only when one or more future events, not wholly within our control, occur or fail to occur. The assessment of such contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. Refer to Note 16 for further details on contingencies.

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

d)    Lagunas Norte

On June 1, 2021, Barrick closed an agreement to sell its 100% interest in the Lagunas Norte gold mine in Peru to Boroo Pte Ltd (“Boroo”). As part of the terms of the transaction, Boroo assumed 50% of the $173 million reclamation bond obligations for Lagunas Norte upon closing.

Boroo was to assume the other 50% within one year of closing; however, this was extended until June 1, 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, Boroo fully assumed this obligation and Barrick has no further obligation related to the closure and reclamation of Lagunas Norte.

4 n Segment Information

Barrick’s business is organized into eighteen minesites. Barrick’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") (Mark Bristow, President and Chief Executive Officer) reviews the operating results, assesses performance and makes capital allocation decisions at the minesite level. In the first quarter of 2023, we re-evaluated our reportable operating segments. Lumwana has been presented as a reportable segment for the current and prior periods. Veladero is no longer a reportable segment. As a result, our presentation of our reportable operating segments consists of eight gold mines (Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Kibali, North Mara and Bulyanhulu) and one copper mine (Lumwana). The remaining operating segments, including our remaining gold mines, have been grouped into an “Other Mines” category and will not be reported on individually. Prior period figures have been restated to reflect this change and 2022 and 2021 annual information for Lumwana is provided below. Segment performance is evaluated based on a number of measures including operating income before tax, production levels and unit production costs. Certain costs are managed on a consolidated basis and are therefore not reflected in segment income.

Current	$246	$206	$428	$483

Total	$264	$279	$469	$580

Income tax expense was $469 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022: $580 million). The unadjusted effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 38% of income before income taxes.

The underlying effective income tax rate on ordinary income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 30% after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation losses on deferred tax balances; the impact of updates to the rehabilitation provision for our non-operating mines; the impact of non-deductible foreign exchange

losses; the impact of the Porgera mine being placed on care and maintenance; the impact of the settlement agreement to resolve the tax dispute at Porgera; the impact of our commitment towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania; and the impact of other expense adjustments.

Currency Translation

Current and deferred tax balances are subject to remeasurement for changes in foreign currency exchange rates each period. This is required in countries where tax is paid in local currency and the subsidiary has a different functional currency (typically US dollars). The most significant balances relate to Argentine and Malian tax liabilities.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, a tax expense of $1 million (2022: $52 million tax expense) arose primarily from translation losses and gains on tax balances in Argentina and Mali due to the weakening of the Argentine peso and strengthening of the West African CFA franc, respectively, against the US dollar. These net translation losses are included within income tax expense.

Withholding Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we have recorded $32 million (2022: $35 million related to Argentina and the United States) of dividend withholding taxes related to the undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries in the United States.

United States Tax Reform

In August 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (“the Act”) into law. The Act includes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) that is imposed on applicable financial statement income (“AFSI”) and therefore would be considered in scope for IAS 12 given it is a tax on profits. The CAMT is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022 and CAMT credit carryforwards have an indefinite life. Barrick is subject to CAMT because the Company meets the applicable income thresholds for a foreign-parented multi-national group.

On December 27, 2022, the US Treasury Department and the US Internal Revenue Service issued initial guidance regarding the application of the CAMT. This was followed by a 60-day consultation period, and we have provided comments. We are awaiting the final US Treasury Regulations detailing the application of CAMT.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the deferred tax asset arising from the CAMT credit carryforward has been recognized on the basis that we estimate that future regular tax will exceed tentative minimum tax on a probable basis.

Nevada Gold Mines

Nevada Gold Mines is a limited liability company treated as a flow through partnership for US tax purposes. The partnership is not subject to federal income tax directly, but each of its partners is liable for tax on its share of the profits of the partnership. As such, Barrick accounts for its current and deferred income tax associated with this investment (61.5% share) following the principles in IAS 12.

Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two model rules

In October 2021, more than 135 jurisdictions agreed to the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting’s Statement on a Two-Pillar Solution to Address the Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalization of the Economy. Since then, the OECD has published model rules and other documents related to the second pillar of this solution (the Pillar Two model rules). The Pillar Two model rules provide a template that jurisdictions can translate into domestic tax law and implement as part of an agreed common approach.

In terms of the potential implications for income tax accounting, we have applied the exception available under the amendments to IAS 12 published by the IASB in May 2023 and are not recognizing or disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes given relevant information is not known or reasonably estimable at this time. Furthermore, since Pillar Two legislation is not yet enacted or substantively enacted in the main jurisdictions where we operate, we continue working on assessing our exposure to Pillar Two income taxes and will provide an update once these dates are known.

12 n Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets

In accordance with our accounting policy, goodwill is tested for impairment in the fourth quarter and also when there is an indicator of impairment. Non-current assets are tested for impairment or impairment reversals when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or is understated. Refer to Note 21 of the 2022 Annual Financial Statements for further information.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded net impairment charges of $23 million (2022: $5 million net impairment charges) for non-current assets.

Indicators of impairment and reversals

2023

Porgera

On April 9, 2021, the Papua New Guinea ("PNG") government and Barrick Niugini Limited (“BNL”, the 95% owner and operator of the Porgera joint venture) agreed on a partnership for the future ownership and operation of the Porgera mine. Porgera has been on care and maintenance since April 2020, when the government declined to renew its special mining lease ("SML"). The financial impact will be determined once all definitive agreements, which are currently being negotiated, have been signed and implemented. We have determined that as at June 30, 2023, there is no impairment loss to recognize. The ultimate resolution of this dispute may differ from this determination and there is no certainty that the carrying value will remain recoverable. Refer to Note 16 for more information.

During the first quarter of 2023, the final settlement of $46.25 million was received relating to the Massawa contingent consideration. During the second quarter of 2023, $15 million was reclassified to accounts receivable relating to the Lagunas Norte contingent consideration.

4Debt is generally recorded at amortized cost. The fair value of debt is primarily determined using quoted market prices. Balance includes both current and long-term portions of debt.

52022 other assets include a restricted cash balance and other liabilities include a liability to Antofagasta plc. The restricted cash funded Antofagasta plc’s exit from the Reko Diq project, following its reconstitution in the fourth quarter of 2022. This was settled in the second quarter of 2023.

The Company’s valuation techniques were presented in Note 26 of the 2022 Annual Financial Statements and have been consistently applied in these interim financial statements.

a)    Authorized Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock is composed of an unlimited number of common shares (issued 1,755,467,937 common shares as at June 30, 2023). Our common shares have no par value.

b)    Dividends

The Company’s practice has been to declare dividends after a quarter as part of the announcement of the results for the quarter. Dividends declared are paid in the same quarter.

The Company’s dividend reinvestment plan resulted in 118,276 common shares issued to shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

c) Share Buyback Program

At the February 14, 2023 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized a new share buyback program for the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s outstanding common shares over the next 12 months. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Barrick did not purchase any shares under this program.

The actual number of common shares that may be purchased, and the timing of any 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.

Litigation and Claims Update

Proposed Canadian Securities Class Actions (Pascua-Lama)

In the Quebec proceeding, neither Barrick nor the proposed representative Plaintiff sought leave to appeal from the decision issued by the Quebec Court of Appeal on December 19, 2022. As a result, the matter has been returned to the Superior Court of Quebec. On March 20,

2023, the Superior Court issued an Order suspending certain deadlines for a period of three months on consent of the parties, and this extension was subsequently extended until mid-November 2023 on consent of the parties.

In the Ontario proceeding, the Plaintiffs’ appeal from the dismissal of certain statutory secondary market claims remains pending. The hearing of the appeal has been scheduled for December 13, 2023.

Writ of Kalikasan

On February 14 and March 31, 2023, the Court granted additional 60-day extensions of the suspension of the proceedings to allow for court-annexed mediation to continue. On May 31, 2023, the Court granted another 60-day extension until July 16, 2023. On July 14, 2023, the parties filed a joint motion for an additional extension.

Porgera Special Mining Lease

On March 31, 2023, the State of PNG, BNL and New Porgera Limited, the new Porgera joint venture company, entered into the New Porgera Progress Agreement, which confirmed that all parties are committed to reopening the mine in line with the terms of the Commencement Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement, both of which were concluded in 2022.

BARRICK SECOND QUARTER 2023 98 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

OVERVIEW OPERATING PERFORMANCE GROWTH PROJECTS & EXPLORATION REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OTHER INFORMATION & NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On June 13, 2023, in accordance with the Commencement Agreement, New Porgera Limited lodged an application with the Mineral Resources Authority for a new SML. The application is now subject to a review process under the PNG Mining Act. The parties to the Commencement Agreement are continuing to progress the other conditions for the reopening of the mine.

Porgera Tax Audits

On June 20, 2023, the Internal Revenue Commission, the Commissioner General, Barrick and BNL entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the tax dispute. The resolution of this tax dispute satisfies one of the conditions to the reopening of the Porgera mine under the Commencement Agreement, and has allowed the parties to work toward the reopening of the mine by the end of 2023.

North Mara - Ontario Litigation

In May 2023, Barrick filed a motion to dismiss or permanently stay the Ontario action on the grounds that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice lacks jurisdiction and that Tanzania is a more appropriate forum in which to litigate this matter. The hearing of the motion has been scheduled for October 2024.

Kibali Customs Dispute

The Company is continuing to engage in discussions with the Customs Authority and Ministry of Finance regarding the customs claims and in this regard on March 26, 2023, the parties agreed to settle one of the Customs Authority claims concerning historic export duties. Discussions to resolve the remaining customs claims are ongoing. A formal reassessment notice has not yet been issued by the Customs Authority with respect to these claims.

Zaldívar Water Claims

On April 6, 2023, the Environmental Court of Antofagasta agreed to stay the proceedings through May 6, 2023 to allow for further settlement discussions. The stay expired without a settlement agreement being reached. The Court held an evidentiary hearing during the week of July 24, 2023, and a site inspection is scheduled for August 16-17, 2023. Discussions regarding a potential settlement are nevertheless still ongoing, and the Court will hear closing arguments before issuing a decision in this matter.

Material accounting policy information [Abstract]

Material Accounting Policy Information

Material Accounting Policy Information

a) Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with Barrick’s most recently issued Annual Report, which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Annual Financial Statements"), and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements, except as otherwise noted in Note 2b. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 7, 2023.

b)  New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on Barrick in the current or future reporting periods.

CRITICAL JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND RISKS

Accounting judgements and estimates [Abstract]

Critical Judgements, Estimates, Assumptions and Risks

Critical Judgements, Estimates, Assumptions and RisksThe judgments, estimates, assumptions and risks discussed here reflect updates from the 2022 Annual Financial Statements. For judgments, estimates, assumptions and risks related to other areas not discussed in these interim consolidated financial statements, please

refer to Notes 3 and 28 of the 2022 Annual Financial Statements.

a) Provision for Environmental Rehabilitation (“PER”)

Provisions are updated each reporting period for changes to expected cash flows and for the effect of changes in the discount rate and foreign exchange rates. The change in estimate is added or deducted from the related asset and depreciated over the expected economic life of the operation to which it relates. In the case of closed sites, changes in estimates and assumptions are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of income. We recorded a net decrease of $76 million (2022: $413 million net decrease) to the PER at our minesites for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and a net decrease of $38 million (2022: $439 million net decrease) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to spending incurred during the year, partially offset by accretion.

Adjustments to the estimated amount and timing of future closure and rehabilitation cash flows are a normal occurrence in light of the significant judgments and estimates involved. Rehabilitation provisions are adjusted as a result of changes in estimates and assumptions and are accounted for prospectively. In the fourth quarter of each year, our life of mine plans are updated and that typically results in an update to the rehabilitation provision.

b)    Pascua-Lama

The Pascua-Lama project received $506 million as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: $457 million) in value added tax (“VAT”) refunds in Chile relating to the development of the Chilean side of the project. Under the current arrangement, this amount must be repaid if the project does not evidence exports for an amount of $3,538 million within a term that expires on December 31, 2026, unless extended. In 2022, the Chilean government proposed changes to Chilean law on VAT refunds that may affect the timeframe and amount of these refunds. The proposed changes were rejected in a vote by the Lower House of Congress on March 8, 2023, and Barrick will continue to monitor the status of these proposals in the event that they are reintroduced by the Chilean government.

In addition, we have recorded $23 million in VAT recoverable in Argentina as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: $31 million) relating to the development of the Argentinean side of the project. These amounts may not be fully recoverable if the project does not enter into production and are subject to foreign currency risk as the amounts are recoverable in Argentine pesos.

c)    Contingencies

Contingencies can be either possible assets or possible liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will be resolved only when one or more future events, not wholly within our control, occur or fail to occur. The assessment of such contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. Refer to Note 16 for further details on contingencies.

d)    Lagunas Norte

On June 1, 2021, Barrick closed an agreement to sell its 100% interest in the Lagunas Norte gold mine in Peru to Boroo Pte Ltd (“Boroo”). As part of the terms of the transaction, Boroo assumed 50% of the $173 million reclamation bond obligations for Lagunas Norte upon closing.

Boroo was to assume the other 50% within one year of closing; however, this was extended until June 1, 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, Boroo fully assumed this obligation and Barrick has no further obligation related to the closure and reclamation of Lagunas Norte.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax [Abstract]

Income Tax Expense

	For the three months ended June 30		For the six months ended June 30
	2023	2022	2023	2022
Current	$246	$206	$428	$483
Deferred	18	73	41	97
Total	$264	$279	$469	$580

Income tax expense was $469 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022: $580 million). The unadjusted effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 38% of income before income taxes.

The underlying effective income tax rate on ordinary income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 30% after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation losses on deferred tax balances; the impact of updates to the rehabilitation provision for our non-operating mines; the impact of non-deductible foreign exchange

losses; the impact of the Porgera mine being placed on care and maintenance; the impact of the settlement agreement to resolve the tax dispute at Porgera; the impact of our commitment towards the expansion of education infrastructure in Tanzania; and the impact of other expense adjustments.

Currency Translation

Current and deferred tax balances are subject to remeasurement for changes in foreign currency exchange rates each period. This is required in countries where tax is paid in local currency and the subsidiary has a different functional currency (typically US dollars). The most significant balances relate to Argentine and Malian tax liabilities.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, a tax expense of $1 million (2022: $52 million tax expense) arose primarily from translation losses and gains on tax balances in Argentina and Mali due to the weakening of the Argentine peso and strengthening of the West African CFA franc, respectively, against the US dollar. These net translation losses are included within income tax expense.

Withholding Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we have recorded $32 million (2022: $35 million related to Argentina and the United States) of dividend withholding taxes related to the undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries in the United States.

United States Tax Reform

In August 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (“the Act”) into law. The Act includes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) that is imposed on applicable financial statement income (“AFSI”) and therefore would be considered in scope for IAS 12 given it is a tax on profits. The CAMT is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022 and CAMT credit carryforwards have an indefinite life. Barrick is subject to CAMT because the Company meets the applicable income thresholds for a foreign-parented multi-national group.

On December 27, 2022, the US Treasury Department and the US Internal Revenue Service issued initial guidance regarding the application of the CAMT. This was followed by a 60-day consultation period, and we have provided comments. We are awaiting the final US Treasury Regulations detailing the application of CAMT.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the deferred tax asset arising from the CAMT credit carryforward has been recognized on the basis that we estimate that future regular tax will exceed tentative minimum tax on a probable basis.

Nevada Gold Mines

Nevada Gold Mines is a limited liability company treated as a flow through partnership for US tax purposes. The partnership is not subject to federal income tax directly, but each of its partners is liable for tax on its share of the profits of the partnership. As such, Barrick accounts for its current and deferred income tax associated with this investment (61.5% share) following the principles in IAS 12.

Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two model rules

In October 2021, more than 135 jurisdictions agreed to the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting’s Statement on a Two-Pillar Solution to Address the Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalization of the Economy. Since then, the OECD has published model rules and other documents related to the second pillar of this solution (the Pillar Two model rules). The Pillar Two model rules provide a template that jurisdictions can translate into domestic tax law and implement as part of an agreed common approach.

In terms of the potential implications for income tax accounting, we have applied the exception available under the amendments to IAS 12 published by the IASB in May 2023 and are not recognizing or disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes given relevant information is not known or reasonably estimable at this time. Furthermore, since Pillar Two legislation is not yet enacted or substantively enacted in the main jurisdictions where we operate, we continue working on assessing our exposure to Pillar Two income taxes and will provide an update once these dates are known.

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSETS

Impairment of goodwill and other assets [Abstract]

Disclosure of impairment loss and reversal of impairment loss [text block]

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets

In accordance with our accounting policy, goodwill is tested for impairment in the fourth quarter and also when there is an indicator of impairment. Non-current assets are tested for impairment or impairment reversals when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or is understated. Refer to Note 21 of the 2022 Annual Financial Statements for further information.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded net impairment charges of $23 million (2022: $5 million net impairment charges) for non-current assets.

Indicators of impairment and reversals

2023

Porgera

On April 9, 2021, the Papua New Guinea ("PNG") government and Barrick Niugini Limited (“BNL”, the 95% owner and operator of the Porgera joint venture) agreed on a partnership for the future ownership and operation of the Porgera mine. Porgera has been on care and maintenance since April 2020, when the government declined to renew its special mining lease ("SML"). The financial impact will be determined once all definitive agreements, which are currently being negotiated, have been signed and implemented. We have determined that as at June 30, 2023, there is no impairment loss to recognize. The ultimate resolution of this dispute may differ from this determination and there is no certainty that the carrying value will remain recoverable. Refer to Note 16 for more information.

Capital Stock

a)    Authorized Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock is composed of an unlimited number of common shares (issued 1,755,467,937 common shares as at June 30, 2023). Our common shares have no par value.

b)    Dividends

The Company’s practice has been to declare dividends after a quarter as part of the announcement of the results for the quarter. Dividends declared are paid in the same quarter.

The Company’s dividend reinvestment plan resulted in 118,276 common shares issued to shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

c) Share Buyback Program

At the February 14, 2023 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized a new share buyback program for the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s outstanding common shares over the next 12 months. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Barrick did not purchase any shares under this program.

The actual number of common shares that may be purchased, and the timing of any 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.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The impact of any resulting loss from such matters affecting these financial statements and noted below may be material.

Except as noted below, no material changes have occurred with respect to the matters disclosed in Note 35 “Contingencies” to the 2022 Annual Financial Statements, and no new contingencies have occurred that are material to the Company since the issuance of the 2022 Annual Financial Statements.

The description set out below should be read in conjunction with Note 35 “Contingencies” to the 2022 Annual Financial Statements.

Litigation and Claims Update

Proposed Canadian Securities Class Actions (Pascua-Lama)

In the Quebec proceeding, neither Barrick nor the proposed representative Plaintiff sought leave to appeal from the decision issued by the Quebec Court of Appeal on December 19, 2022. As a result, the matter has been returned to the Superior Court of Quebec. On March 20,

2023, the Superior Court issued an Order suspending certain deadlines for a period of three months on consent of the parties, and this extension was subsequently extended until mid-November 2023 on consent of the parties.

In the Ontario proceeding, the Plaintiffs’ appeal from the dismissal of certain statutory secondary market claims remains pending. The hearing of the appeal has been scheduled for December 13, 2023.

Writ of Kalikasan

On February 14 and March 31, 2023, the Court granted additional 60-day extensions of the suspension of the proceedings to allow for court-annexed mediation to continue. On May 31, 2023, the Court granted another 60-day extension until July 16, 2023. On July 14, 2023, the parties filed a joint motion for an additional extension.

Porgera Special Mining Lease

On March 31, 2023, the State of PNG, BNL and New Porgera Limited, the new Porgera joint venture company, entered into the New Porgera Progress Agreement, which confirmed that all parties are committed to reopening the mine in line with the terms of the Commencement Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement, both of which were concluded in 2022.

On June 13, 2023, in accordance with the Commencement Agreement, New Porgera Limited lodged an application with the Mineral Resources Authority for a new SML. The application is now subject to a review process under the PNG Mining Act. The parties to the Commencement Agreement are continuing to progress the other conditions for the reopening of the mine.

Porgera Tax Audits

On June 20, 2023, the Internal Revenue Commission, the Commissioner General, Barrick and BNL entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the tax dispute. The resolution of this tax dispute satisfies one of the conditions to the reopening of the Porgera mine under the Commencement Agreement, and has allowed the parties to work toward the reopening of the mine by the end of 2023.

North Mara - Ontario Litigation

In May 2023, Barrick filed a motion to dismiss or permanently stay the Ontario action on the grounds that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice lacks jurisdiction and that Tanzania is a more appropriate forum in which to litigate this matter. The hearing of the motion has been scheduled for October 2024.

Kibali Customs Dispute

The Company is continuing to engage in discussions with the Customs Authority and Ministry of Finance regarding the customs claims and in this regard on March 26, 2023, the parties agreed to settle one of the Customs Authority claims concerning historic export duties. Discussions to resolve the remaining customs claims are ongoing. A formal reassessment notice has not yet been issued by the Customs Authority with respect to these claims.

Zaldívar Water Claims

On April 6, 2023, the Environmental Court of Antofagasta agreed to stay the proceedings through May 6, 2023 to allow for further settlement discussions. The stay expired without a settlement agreement being reached. The Court held an evidentiary hearing during the week of July 24, 2023, and a site inspection is scheduled for August 16-17, 2023. Discussions regarding a potential settlement are nevertheless still ongoing, and the Court will hear closing arguments before issuing a decision in this matter.
