Barrick Builds Momentum in Q2 With Higher Production, Stronger Cash Flows and Key Growth Projects on Track

LONDON, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE:B)(TSX:ABX) (“Barrick” or the “Company”) delivered a strong performance in the second quarter, increasing gold and copper production, growing free cash flow1 and advancing its pipeline of Tier One2 projects — all while returning more capital to shareholders. The performance builds on the first quarter’s positive start to the year and positions the Company for an even stronger second half. Net earnings per share rose to $0.47 for the quarter, with adjusted net earnings per share1 also at $0.47. Operating cash flow for the first half of the year was $2.5 billion, 32% higher than the prior-year period, while free cash flow1 totaled $770 million, up 107% on the prior-year period, supported by stronger commodity prices. Production improved across the board, with Q2 gold output up 5% and copper production increasing by 34% compared to Q1, supported by a strong contribution from Lumwana. Nevada Gold Mines led the group’s gold performance, with production increasing 11% quarter-on-quarter. Pueblo Viejo also delivered a 28% production increase, underpinned by higher throughput and continued progress on the expansion. Gold and copper production was in line with guidance, with copper now tracking towards the upper end of the full-year range. The Board approved a $0.15 per share dividend, which includes a $0.05 performance dividend.3 During the quarter, the Company also repurchased $268 million of its shares, bringing total buybacks for the first half of the year to $411 million, and $860 million over the past 12 months. Total capital returned to shareholders for the first half amounted to $753 million. “Q2 was another quarter where Barrick delivered on all fronts. We’re growing production, lowering costs and advancing the industry’s most exciting pipeline of gold and copper projects. From the ramp-up at Goldrush to the progress at Pueblo Viejo, Lumwana and Reko Diq, not to mention the transformational potential of Fourmile, we’re demonstrating the strength and depth of our portfolio,” said president and chief executive Mark Bristow. Bristow said that Reko Diq’s development remained on track with onsite construction ramping up. Meanwhile, Fourmile’s drill program has already logged 34 kilometers of drilling this year, with results supporting the potential to double existing resources by year end, and at similar high grades. In addition, Barrick continued to strengthen its long-term growth foundation through reserve replacement and exploration. Drill testing of new greenfields prospects progressed across Canada, Nevada, Peru and Tanzania, while Kibali returned excellent results from brownfields programs. The Company remains on course to replace more than 80% of the gold it mines this year, with a rolling three-year average of more than 500% replacement of gold equivalent ounces7, reinforcing its consistent track record of organic growth through the drill bit. On the sustainability front, performance continued to improve. Lost time injuries5 were down 50% year-to-date, while total injuries declined 37%. Barrick also signed a community resettlement agreement at Pueblo Viejo and 402 new houses have now been completed at the new model village Nuevos Horizontes. The Company further advanced its commitment to responsible closure, safely decommissioning two additional legacy tailings storage facilities during the quarter, bringing the total to nine across the Group, further reducing long-term environmental liabilities. With active projects and partnerships, Barrick continues to unlock value across a globally diverse portfolio. The Company’s strong balance sheet, proven exploration teams and world-class project pipeline position it uniquely to thrive in a world increasingly focused on supply security, sustainability and long-term asset quality. “Across the business, we’re seeing the benefits of consistent delivery and disciplined execution. While the market hasn’t fully recognized the value we have and are creating, our performance and growth are clear. This remains a company built for sustainable value creation — and one that continues to offer a peerless investment case in the gold and copper space,” Bristow said.Q2 2025 Results PresentationMark Bristow will host a webcast to discuss the results today at 11:00 AM EDT / 15:00 UTC followed by a question-and-answer session with analysts. The presentation materials will be available on Barrick’s website and the webinar will remain online for later viewing.

Endnotes Endnote 1 – Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share “Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted net earnings per share” are non-GAAP financial performance measures. Adjusted net earnings excludes the following from net earnings: impairment charges (reversals) related to intangibles, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and investments; acquisition/disposition gains/losses; foreign currency translation gains/losses; significant tax adjustments; other items that are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of our core mining business; and tax effect and non-controlling interest of the above items. Management uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. Management believes that adjusted net earnings is a useful measure of our performance because impairment charges, acquisition/disposition gains/losses and significant tax adjustments do not reflect the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

This was offset by a gain of $745 million on the sale of our 50% interest in the Donlin Gold project.For Q2 2025 and YTD 2025, significant tax adjustments include the re-measurement of deferred tax balances and adjustments in respect of prior years. For Q2 2024 and YTD 2024, significant tax adjustments include the proposed settlement of the Zaldívar Tax Assessments in Chile. Significant tax adjustments for YTD 2024 also include the de-recognition of deferred tax assets, and adjustments in respect of prior years and the re-measurement of deferred tax balances.Other expense adjustments for the 2025 periods mainly relate to reduced operation costs at Loulo-Gounkoto. Q1 2025 and YTD 2025 also include the signing of agreements to settle legacy legal matters in the Philippines related to Placer Dome Inc. Other adjustments in Q2 2024 and YTD 2024 mainly relate to the interest and penalties recognized following the settlement of the Zaldívar Tax Assessments in Chile.Tax effect for Q2 2025 and YTD 2025 primarily relates to acquisition/disposition losses (gains).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. 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.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Minesite sustaining capital expenditures and project capital expenditures are non-GAAP financial measures. Capital expenditures are classified into minesite sustaining capital expenditures or project capital expenditures depending on the nature of the expenditure. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures is the capital spending required to support current production levels. Project capital expenditures represent the capital spending at new projects and major, discrete projects at existing operations intended to increase net present value through higher production or longer mine life. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of the purpose of capital expenditures and this distinction is an input into the calculation of all-in sustaining costs per ounce. Classifying capital expenditures is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial performance measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

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

We believe that “C1 cash costs” per pound enables investors to better understand the performance of our copper operations in comparison to other copper producers who present results on a similar basis. “C1 cash costs” per pound excludes royalties and non-routine charges as they are not direct production costs. “All-in sustaining costs” per pound is similar to the gold all-in sustaining costs metric and management uses this to better evaluate the costs of copper production. We believe this measure enables investors to better understand the operating performance of our copper mines as this measure reflects all of the sustaining expenditures incurred in order to produce copper. “All-in sustaining costs” per pound includes C1 cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining leases, general and administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs, royalties, reclamation cost accretion and amortization and writedowns taken on inventory to net realizable value.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Attributable EBITDA, Attributable EBITDA Margin and Net Leverage EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure, which excludes the following from net earnings: income tax expense; finance costs; finance income; and depreciation. Management believes that EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Management uses EBITDA for this purpose. Adjusted EBITDA removes the effect of impairment charges; acquisition/disposition gains/losses; foreign currency translation gains/losses; and other expense adjustments. We also remove the impact of the income tax expense, finance costs, finance income and depreciation incurred in our equity method accounted investments. We believe these items provide a greater level of consistency with the adjusting items included in our adjusted net earnings reconciliation, with the exception that these amounts are adjusted to remove any impact on finance costs/income, income tax expense and/or depreciation as they do not affect EBITDA. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in better understanding our ability to generate liquidity from our full business, including equity method investments, by excluding these amounts from the calculation as they are not indicative of the performance of our core mining business and not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the periods presented. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in better understanding our ability to generate liquidity from our attributable business and which is aligned with how we present our forward looking guidance on gold ounces and copper pounds produced. Attributable EBITDA margin is calculated as attributable EBITDA divided by revenues - as adjusted. We believe this ratio will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick to better understand the relationship between revenues and EBITDA or operating profit. Starting with the Q2 2024 MD&A, we are presenting net leverage as a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as debt, net of cash divided by the sum of adjusted EBITDA of the last four consecutive quarters. We believe this ratio will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in monitoring our leverage and evaluating our balance sheet. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, attributable EBITDA, EBITDA margin and net leverage are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and attributable EBITDA exclude the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, attributable EBITDA, EBITDA margin and net leverage differently. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

This was offset by a gain of $745 million on the sale of our 50% interest in the Donlin Gold project.Other expense adjustments for the 2025 periods mainly relate to reduced operation costs at Loulo-Gounkoto. Q1 2025 and YTD 2025 also include the signing of agreements to settle legacy legal matters in the Philippines related to Placer Dome Inc. Other adjustments in Q2 2024 and YTD 2024 mainly relate to the interest and penalties recognized following the settlement of the Zaldívar Tax Assessments in Chile.Refer to Reconciliation of Sales to Realized Price per oz/pound on page 59 of Barrick’s Q2 2025 MD&A.Represents attributable EBITDA divided by revenues - as adjusted.Represents debt, net of cash divided by adjusted EBITDA of the last four consecutive quarters. Realized Price “Realized price” is a non-GAAP financial performance measure which excludes from sales: treatment and refining charges; and cumulative catch-up adjustment to revenue relating to our streaming arrangements. We believe this provides investors and analysts with a more accurate measure with which to compare to market gold and copper prices and to assess our gold and copper sales performance. For those reasons, management believes that this measure provides a more accurate reflection of our company’s past performance and is a better indicator of its expected performance in future periods. The realized price measure is intended to provide additional information, and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of sales as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. 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.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Excludes Long Canyon which is producing residual ounces from the leach pad while in care and maintenance.Realized price per oz/lb may not calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding. Endnote 2 A Tier One Gold Asset is an asset with a $1,400/oz reserve with potential to deliver a minimum 10-year life, annual production of at least 500,000 ounces of gold and with costs per ounce in the lower half of the industry cost curve. A Tier One Copper Asset/Project is an asset with a $3.00/lb reserve with potential for +5Mt contained copper in support at least 20 years life, annual production of at least 200ktpa, with costs per pound in the lower half of the industry cost curve. Tier One Assets must be located in a world-class geological district with potential for organic reserve growth and long-term geologically driven addition. Endnote 3 Including a $0.05/sh performance dividend reflecting net cash of $73 million. Endnote 4 On an attributable basis. Gold COS/oz is calculated as cost of sales across our gold operations (excluding sites in closure or care and maintenance) divided by ounces sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick's ownership share). Endnote 5 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. 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. Endnote 6 Net cash of $73 million is calculated as cash and equivalents ($4,802 million) less debt ($4,729 million).
