Barrick produced 829,000 ounces of gold and 55,000 tonnes of copper in the quarter and the Company generated $4.1 billion in revenue, as well as a record $2.4 billion in operating cash flow and $1.5 billion in free cash flow.1 Net earnings per share of $0.76 and adjusted net earnings per share1 of $0.58 increased 62% and 23%, respectively, from Q2. “Higher gold production combined with lower costs and strong commodity prices drove record cash flow for Barrick in Q3,” said Mark Hill, Group Chief Operating Officer and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. “This allowed us to significantly increase share repurchases while also making progress on our key growth projects, maintaining our industry-leading balance sheet. Given the confidence in ongoing cash flow generation and shareholder focus, the Board has approved a 25% increase in the base quarterly dividend. Our portfolio of world-class assets continues to grow, as demonstrated by the generational gold discovery at Fourmile in Nevada.” Mark Hill continued, “Since assuming interim CEO responsibilities at the end of September, I have met with our teams across the globe to review performance and assess what we can do differently at Barrick, putting a stronger emphasis on safety and operational performance. The quality of our portfolio is undeniable and the opportunity in front of the Barrick team is significant. We are singularly focused on driving improved performance and shareholder value, particularly at our Tier One6 gold assets in Nevada and the Dominican Republic. To this end, we have begun an operational review from the bottom up to ensure we are completely focused on delivering results safely and consistently going forward and we will provide an update with our year-end results.” Operational Highlights Gold production in Q3 was 4% higher than Q2 at 829,000 ounces, with cost of sales (“COS”)3 of $1,562 per ounce, total cash costs (“TCC”)1 of $1,137 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”)1 of $1,538 per ounce. Gold COS3 and AISC1 were 6% and 9% lower than Q2, respectively, with AISC margins4 19% higher. Cortez and Turquoise Ridge performed well, increasing production 15% and 13% over Q2, respectively. Pueblo Viejo achieved record-high throughput in Q3 with the highest quarterly production since 2022. Unplanned downtime at the Goldstrike roaster near the end of the quarter delayed some of Carlin’s processing volume and production from Q3 into Q4. Copper production in Q3 was 7% lower than Q2 at 55,000 tonnes, in-line with plan, with COS5 of $2.68 per pound, C1 cash costs1 of $1.96 per pound and AISC1 of $3.14 per pound. Copper production year-to-date is 21% higher than the first nine months of 2024, driven by a 42% increase at Lumwana. Copper COS5 and AISC1 were 14% and 16% lower year-to-date than the first nine months of 2024, respectively, with AISC margins4 128% higher. After nearly twelve months fatality free, unfortunately three of our colleagues lost their lives in recent months. A previously recorded lost-time injury at Kibali was reclassified as a fatality after an employee sadly succumbed to injuries. On September 29th, an employee at the Goldrush Underground mine in Nevada sustained fatal injuries. On October 21st, an employee sustained fatal injuries at the Bulyanhulu mine in Tanzania. Our thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues of these team members who passed away. Safety remains Barrick’s highest priority, and we are conducting full investigations into these incidents in cooperation with the relevant authorities. We remain unequivocally committed to our safety vision of ‘Every person going home safe and healthy every day.’ Financial Highlights Barrick achieved record quarterly operating cash flow and free cash flow1 of $2.4 billion and $1.5 billion—up 82% and 274%, respectively—compared to operating cash flow of $1.3 billion and free cash flow1 of $0.4 billion in the prior quarter. This significant increase was primarily due to higher realized gold prices1, increased gold sales volume and lower total cash costs1 per ounce. In Q3 2025, Barrick achieved net earnings of $1.3 billion ($0.76 per share) and adjusted net earnings1 of $982 million ($0.58 per share—another record) compared to net earnings of $483 million ($0.28 per share) and adjusted net earnings1 of $529 million ($0.30 per share) in the same prior-year period. Notably, our Q3 net earnings and adjusted net earnings include a $0.04 per share after tax share-based compensation expense due to our higher share price. Revenues of $4.1 billion in Q3 2025 increased 23% from $3.4 billion in Q3 2024. Non-core asset sales also continued during the quarter, underscoring our disciplined focus on our Tier One6 gold and copper portfolio. On September 10, Barrick announced an agreement to sell the Hemlo gold mine in Canada to Carcetti Capital Corp. for gross proceeds of up to $1.09 billion. Subsequently, on October 6, Barrick announced an agreement to sell its interests in the Tongon gold mine and certain exploration properties in Côte d’lvoire to the Atlantic Group for total consideration of up to $305 million. Both transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025. Together with the sales of Donlin and Alturas, total gross proceeds from non-core assets divested this year are expected to generate approximately $2.6 billion in value. Key Growth Projects Updated studies completed during the quarter reaffirm the 100%-owned Fourmile project in Nevada as one of this century’s most significant gold discoveries.2 A new PEA, supported by the 2024 mineral resource estimate and ongoing 2025 evaluation results, underscores Fourmile’s rare combination of grade, scale, and exploration upside, confirming its potential to become one of the world’s most valuable gold mines. The current drilling program—the largest undertaken to date—supports a potential doubling of the existing resource in 2025. Meanwhile, planned access via the Bullion Hill Decline is progressing as expected, with permitting and engineering activities on track. The Reko Diq project remains on schedule, with onsite construction activities accelerating and project financing approaching completion. The Lumwana expansion has advanced in both procurement and construction and continues to track slightly ahead of schedule. There was also significant progress at Pueblo Viejo, where more than 180 families have now moved into the new community Nuevos Horizontes (‘New Horizons’), and the tailings storage facility construction is on track to support the expansion. Quarterly Dividend and Share Buybacks Given confidence in ongoing cash flow generation and shareholder focus, the Board approved a 25% increase in the quarterly base dividend to $0.125 per share. For the current quarter, the Board approved a $0.175 per share dividend, consisting of the higher $0.125 per share base dividend and including a further $0.05 performance dividend. The enhancement to Barrick’s dividend for the current quarter is aligned with Barrick’s intention to provide shareholders with an attractive cash yield over time. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $589 million of its shares, with year-to-date buybacks now totaling $1 billion. In light of exceptionally strong cash flow, the Board authorized a $500 million increase to the previously approved $1 billion share buyback program, expiring in February 2026. Total capital returned to shareholders in the first nine months of 2025 amounts to $1.6 billion. Full Year 2025 Guidance Full-year 2025 guidance remains unchanged. We continue to expect gold production of 3.15–3.50 million ounces, tracking in the lower half of the range, with quarterly production highest in Q4. Following the agreed sales of Hemlo and Tongon, we expect a portion of the production for the fourth quarter from these assets will be excluded. Gold cost guidance, including COS3 of $1,460–$1,560 per ounce, TCC1 of $1,050–$1,130 per ounce and ASIC1 of $1,460–$1,560 per ounce, is based on a gold price assumption of $2,400 per ounce. Adjusting for the current gold price and the impact on royalties on our costs of approximately $50 per ounce, we are on track to achieve our 2025 gold cost guidance, with the impact as follows: COS3 per ounce of $1,510–$1,610, TCC1 per ounce of $1,100–$1,180 and AISC1 per ounce of $1,510–$1,610. Full-year copper production guidance remains 200,000–230,000 tonnes at copper COS5 of $2.50–$2.80 per pound, C1 cash costs1 of $1.80–$2.10 per pound and AISC1 of $2.80–$3.10 per pound. Interim CEO Appointment On September 29, Mark Hill was appointed Group COO and Interim President and CEO following the departure of Mark Bristow. Mr. Hill was previously COO of Barrick’s LATAM and Asia Pacific region and is a seasoned mining executive with 30 years of experience in strategy, corporate development and leading major projects across the world. The Search Committee of the Board, chaired by Brett Harvey, is working with a leading executive search firm to identify a permanent President and CEO. “The Board is committed to conducting a thorough and deliberate process to ensure we assess world-class talent and identify the right leader for Barrick,” said Mr. Harvey. “Our ideal candidate will possess deep industry expertise, a clear vision for innovation and the ability to grow the business while delivering sustainable returns for our stakeholders. Throughout this transition, our experienced management team remains focused on executing our strategic priorities and maintaining the momentum of the business.” Presentation and Webcast The management team will host a webcast to discuss the results today at 11:00 AM ET followed by a question-and-answer session with analysts. The presentation materials will be available on Barrick’s website and a recording of the webcast will be available for replay later in the day.

EndnotesEndnote 1 – Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresAdjusted 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 loss in Q2 2025 and YTD 2025 was partially offset by a gain of $745 million on the sale of our 50% interest in the Donlin Gold project.For Q3 2025, significant tax adjustments include the re-measurement of deferred tax balances and the recognition of deferred tax assets. Significant tax adjustments for YTD 2025 also include the adjustments in respect of prior years. For Q3 2024, significant tax adjustments include the re-measurement of deferred tax balances and the recognition of deferred tax assets. Significant tax adjustments for YTD 2024 also include the adjustments in respect of prior years and the proposed settlement of the Zaldívar Tax Assessments in Chile.Other expense adjustments for the 2025 periods mainly relate to reduced operation costs at Loulo-Gounkoto. Q3 2025 also includes severance costs and YTD 2025 was further impacted by the signing of agreements to settle legacy legal matters in the Philippines related to Placer Dome Inc. Other adjustments in Q3 2024 mainly relate to the $40 million accrual relating to the road construction in Tanzania per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership, and changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision, combined with a provision made relating to a legacy mine site operated by Homestake Mining Company that was closed prior to the 2001 acquisition by Barrick. YTD 2024 was further impacted by 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.

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.

This loss in Q2 2025 and YTD 2025 was partially 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. Q3 2025 also includes severance costs and YTD 2025 was further impacted by the signing of agreements to settle legacy legal matters in the Philippines related to Placer Dome Inc. Other adjustments in Q3 2024 mainly relate to the $40 million accrual relating to the road construction in Tanzania per our community investment obligations under the Twiga partnership, and changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision, combined with a provision made relating to a legacy mine site operated by Homestake Mining Company that was closed prior to the 2001 acquisition by Barrick. YTD 2024 was further impacted by 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 58 of Barrick’s Q3 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.

Complete mineral reserve and mineral resource data for all mines and projects referenced in this presentation, including tonnes, grades, and ounces, can be found in the Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Tables included on pages 36-45 of Barrick’s 2024 Annual Information Form/Form 40-F filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.Fourmile exploration potential tonnage and grade ranges are based upon a preliminary economic assessment which is preliminary in nature because it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. The preliminary economic assessment for Fourmile is based upon $1,900/oz mineable stope optimizer. The assumptions outlined within the preliminary economic assessment have formed the basis for the ongoing study and are made by the Qualified Person. Fourmile is currently 100% owned by Barrick. Barrick anticipates Fourmile being contributed to the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture, at fair market value, if certain criteria are met. Endnote 3 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 4 “AISC Margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the difference between the realized gold price per ounce and “All-in sustaining costs” (AISC) per ounce for the relevant period. Management uses this metric to assess the efficiency of our gold mining operations and to evaluate the ability of our assets to generate cash flow in excess of sustaining expenditures. This measure does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate AISC Margin differently and therefore it may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Endnote 5 Copper COS/lb is calculated as cost of sales across our copper operations divided by pounds sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick's ownership share). Endnote 6 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.

risks related to the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations, that quantities or grades of reserves will be diminished, and that resources may not be converted to reserves; risks associated with the fact that certain of the initiatives described in this press release are still in the early stages and may not materialize; changes in mineral production performance, exploitation and exploration successes; risks that exploration data may be incomplete and considerable additional work may be required to complete further evaluation, including but not limited to drilling, engineering and socioeconomic studies and investment; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; lack of certainty with respect to foreign legal systems, corruption and other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices, including the status of value added tax refunds received in Chile in connection with the Pascua-Lama Project; expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Mali or other countries in which Barrick does or may carry on business in the future; risks relating to political instability in certain of the jurisdictions in which Barrick operates; timing of receipt of, or failure to comply with, necessary permits and approvals; non-renewal of key licenses by governmental authorities; failure to comply with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; increased costs and physical and transition risks related to climate change, including extreme weather events, resource shortages, emerging policies and increased regulations related to greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emission levels, energy efficiency and reporting of risks; the Company’s ability to achieve its sustainability goals, including its climate-related goals and GHG emissions reduction targets, in particular its ability to achieve its Scope 3 emissions targets which require reliance on entities within Barrick’s value chain, but outside of the Company’s direct control, to achieve such targets within the specified timeframes; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, or over access to water, power and other required infrastructure; the liability associated with risks and hazards in the mining industry, and the ability to maintain insurance to cover such losses; damage to the Company’s reputation due to the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, including negative publicity with respect to the Company’s handling of environmental matters or dealings with community groups, whether true or not; risks related to operations near communities that may regard Barrick’s operations as being detrimental to them; litigation and legal and administrative proceedings; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities, including geotechnical challenges, tailings dam and storage facilities failures, and disruptions in the maintenance or provision of required infrastructure and information technology systems; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technical challenges associated with the construction of capital projects; risks associated with working with partners in jointly controlled assets; risks related to disruption of supply routes which may cause delays in construction and mining activities, including disruptions in the supply of key mining inputs due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East; risk of loss due to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; risks associated with artisanal and illegal mining; risks associated with Barrick’s infrastructure, information technology systems and the implementation of Barrick’s technological initiatives, including risks related cybersecurity incidents, including those caused by computer viruses, malware, ransomware and other cyberattacks, or similar information technology system failures, delays and/or disruptions; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; the impact of inflation, including global inflationary pressures driven by ongoing global supply chain disruptions, global energy cost increases following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and country-specific political and economic factors in Argentina; adverse changes in our credit ratings; fluctuations in the currency markets; changes in U.S. dollar interest rates; changes in U.S. trade, tariff and other controls on imports and exports, tax, immigration or other policies that may impact relations with foreign countries, result in retaliatory policies, lead to increased costs for raw materials and components, or impact Barrick’s existing operations and material growth projects; risks arising from holding derivative instruments (such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark-to-market risk); risks related to the demands placed on the Company’s management, the ability of management to implement its business strategy and enhanced political risk in certain jurisdictions; uncertainty whether some or all of Barrick's targeted investments and projects will meet the Company’s capital allocation objectives and internal hurdle rate; whether benefits expected from recent transactions are realized; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; risks related to competition in the mining industry; employee relations including loss of key employees; availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor; risks associated with diseases, epidemics and pandemics; risks related to the failure of internal controls; and risks related to the impairment of the Company’s goodwill and assets. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion, copper cathode or gold or copper concentrate losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. All of the forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Form 40-F/ Annual Information Form on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities for a more detailed discussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements and the risks that may affect Barrick’s ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
