In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, with respect to: anticipated production growth from Barrick’s organic project pipeline, including through brownfield development, infrastructure investments and exploration success; potential future production at Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo, including initiatives that could support Nevada Gold Mines as a more than three-million-ounce annual gold complex for more than a decade; the prospects of our Rest of World business, including our plans and expected completion and benefits of our growth projects, including the Lumwana Super Pit Expansion, our pipeline of future growth opportunities at or near existing operations and the ramp-up of operations at Loulo-Gounkoto; Barrick’s planned exploration activities; joint ventures and partnerships; Barrick’s intention to continue to improve safety performance; and Barrick’s disciplined capital allocation framework.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions including material estimates and assumptions related to the factors set forth below that, while considered reasonable by the Company as at the date of this press release in light of management’s experience and perception of current conditions and expected developments, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements and information. Such factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold, copper or certain other commodities (such as silver, diesel fuel, natural gas and electricity); risks associated with projects in the early stages of evaluation and for which additional engineering and other analysis is required; risks related to the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations, that quantities or grades of reserves will be diminished, and that resources may not be converted to reserves; risks associated with the fact that certain of the initiatives described in this press release are still in the early stages and may not materialize; changes in mineral production performance, exploitation and exploration successes; risks that exploration data may be incomplete and considerable additional work may be required to complete further evaluation, including but not limited to drilling, engineering and socioeconomic studies and investment; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; lack of certainty with respect to foreign legal systems, corruption and other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; 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; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices;
