Second Quarter 2024 Results

All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars

TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) today reported increased earnings and production for its second quarter, in line with guidance, and said the Company was on track for a strong second half of the year.

Net earnings¹ were up 25% and the attributable EBITDA margin² was up 17% quarter on quarter to 48% with strong operating cash flows of $1.16 billion and a material increase in free cash flow³ to $340 million. Net earnings per share were up 24% to $0.21, adjusted net earnings per share³ increased by 68% to $0.32, and the quarterly dividend was maintained at $0.10 per share.

President and chief executive Mark Bristow said while steering the Company towards the achievement of its 2024 guidance, management was also maintaining its focus on value creation and growth.

Key projects designed to boost production and expand the asset base include the recently permitted Goldrush mine in Nevada which is ramping up to annual production in excess of 400,000 ounces by 2028⁵ while the adjacent Fourmile project, 100% owned by Barrick, is shaping up as a new Tier One⁶ mine with a potential gold production in excess of 500,000 ounces per annum over more than two decades.⁷ In the Dominican Republic, Pueblo Viejo is completing an expansion project designed to increase gold production to more than 800,000 ounces beyond 2040.⁸

"On the copper side of the business, two world-class projects are set to deliver into a rising price and demand market. In Zambia, the Lumwana super pit expansion will increase the mine's production from 130,000 tonnes to 240,000 tonnes per annum¹⁹ while the Reko Diq project in Pakistan is targeting 400,000 tonnes of copper and 500,000 ounces of gold per annum²⁰," Bristow said.

"The strong cash flows from our operations will fund these and other developments while our robust balance sheet will support the forecast growth and dividends. In the meantime, Barrick's unparalleled ability to replace reserve depletion organically will continue to enhance the scope and quality of our existing asset base."

During the past quarter Barrick launched what is believed to be the industry's first comprehensive biodiversity assessment tool. It was produced in collaboration with external experts and incorporates local knowledge and priorities to establish baselines and identify residual impacts. The development of the tool is another milestone in achieving Barrick's differentiated sustainability strategy aimed at making a tangible difference on the ground, where it matters most.

"We are using this tool at all our sites which allows us to quantify both positive and negative impacts on biodiversity across our operations worldwide. This informed approach will guide targeted actions to take our already established rehabilitation and key biodiversity conservation initiatives to another level," Bristow said.

BARRICK DECLARES Q2 DIVIDEND AND BUYS BACK SHARES

Barrick today announced the declaration of a dividend of $0.10 per share for the second quarter of 2024. The dividend is consistent with the Company's Performance Dividend Policy announced at the start of 2022.

The Q2 2024 dividend will be paid on September 16, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2024.

In addition to the dividend, Barrick repurchased 2.95 million shares during the second quarter under the $1 billion share buyback program that was announced in February 2024.

"The continued strength of our balance sheet and our world-class gold and copper asset base allow us to distribute a robust quarterly dividend whilst maintaining ample liquidity to invest in growing our business. Additionally, we took the opportunity to buy back stock at a compelling valuation," said senior executive vice-president and chief financial officer Graham Shuttleworth.

BARRICK'S STRATEGIC FOCUS ON TIER ONE ASSETS DELIVERS TWO HIGH-POTENTIAL PROSPECTS IN NEVADA

Barrick's sector-leading portfolio of Tier One⁶ gold mines is set to be expanded significantly as it advances the development of the recently permitted Goldrush mine, part of Nevada Gold Mines, and the adjacent Fourmile project, which is 100% owned by Barrick.

Goldrush is successfully ramping up underground production, aiming for a more than 35% increase next year, heading to an annual output in excess of 400,000 ounces by 2028 (100% basis).⁵ The mine's development plan incorporates drill platform access to support future growth through conversion of the mineral resource base, currently standing at 9.8 million ounces at 5.88g/t within indicated with a further 4.2 million ounces at 5.4g/t in the inferred category (100% basis).²¹

At Fourmile, drilling has confirmed a grade which is consistently double that of Goldrush's along the 2.5-kilometer strike length of mineralization. Ten diamond core rigs are currently on-site drilling in support of an updated mineral resource statement at the end of the year. Prefeasibility options are being assessed for a year-end decision on an asset that is demonstrating the potential for annual production in excess of 500,000 ounces over more than two decades.⁷ Fourmile's proximity to the permitted Goldrush mine will facilitate its advancement.

"This is a unique two-in-one opportunity to expand Barrick's value foundation in Nevada," says Mark Bristow. "It highlights the great growth opportunities embedded in our asset base and our ability to identify and extract the enormous value they represent."

GIANT COPPER PROJECT STARTS TAKING SHAPE IN PAKISTAN

At a time when new copper opportunities are rare to non-existent, Barrick is demonstrating the value of its long-term growth strategy and its early decision to expand its copper portfolio by rapidly advancing the Reko Diq project in Pakistan.

Scheduled to deliver its first concentrate before the end of 2028, Reko Diq is one of the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold deposit. With an estimated life of mine of 40 years, and with exploration targets supporting the potential to double that, Reko Diq will not only elevate Barrick into the front rank of copper producers, but is destined to economically transform the Balochistan province as well as to be a major growth engine for Pakistan.²⁰

The Reko Diq feasibility study remains on track for completion by the end of this year and, in the meantime, the construction of key enabling infrastructure is underway. Long lead items are being ordered so that work on the processing facility construction can start immediately once the final investment approval is given.

The workforce on site is growing, and in line with Barrick's global policy of local recruitment, 77% of direct employees are from Balochistan and 94% are Pakistani nationals. To build capacity as the project grows — by the end of next year it will be employing an estimated 2,500 people — a skills-based technical training center has been established for young people from the area. The first group of 60 men and 80 women has been enrolled as trainees. At Barrick's Veladero mine in Argentina, nine young Pakistani graduates are being trained for leadership roles at Reko Diq.

Central to the success of the project is the establishment and maintenance of a strong social license to operate and Reko Diq is delivering significant social advancement programs shaped by the community development committees it established. These include the establishment of two local healthcare centers, in partnership with a leading healthcare network, which provide free medical services to the community. All four local villages now have access to potable water and five primary schools have been opened.

BARRICK'S LEADERSHIP IN SUSTAINABLE MINING CONFIRMED BY NEW BIODIVERSITY TOOL

In a pioneering development for sustainable mining, Barrick has put into practice a tool designed to transform how the Company assesses its impact on biodiversity.

This innovative step marks a significant departure from traditional methods of qualifying impacts, empowering Barrick to measure its biodiversity impacts, both negative and positive, with greater accuracy and clarity.

The tool, named the Biodiversity Residual Impact Assessment tool (BRIA), is the product of years of research and collaboration with third-party experts. Driven by a commitment to align corporate goals with rigorous scientific standards, BRIA goes beyond mere estimations and guesswork, offering tangible metrics that inform actionable conservation strategies and, in time to come, targets to measure against.

"At Barrick, we recognize the importance of setting goals that are not only ambitious but also grounded in scientific evidence," says Grant Beringer, Barrick's sustainability executive. "This tool allows us to quantify both positive and negative impacts on biodiversity across our operations worldwide. This capability is an important step in our journey towards sustainable mining."

Central to Barrick's approach is the integration of Key Biodiversity Features (KBFs) into its Biodiversity Standard. These features, identified through comprehensive ecological assessments and baselines, represent critical habitats and species that are prioritized for conservation or rehabilitation efforts. BRIA facilitates the development of Measurable Conservation Actions (MCAs), making sure that every initiative is tailored to maximize positive outcomes for biodiversity. It's a tool that was designed largely for Barrick's operations but will also be used to quantify impacts on some of its external conservation initiatives such as the support it provides to the Garamba National Park in the DRC.

The tool has already been trialed at two of its operations, Carlin and Pueblo Viejo, and has quantified the positive impacts Barrick has had in terms of its efforts on riparian habitat restoration and conservation in both regions. The tool will elevate the Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPs), developed by each site and part of Barrick's Sustainability Scorecard, by helping the sites focus their actions on those areas that are the most important from a habitat perspective. The tool also unlocks an opportunity to direct its reclamation actions at its closed mines to ensure that maximum biodiversity values at these sites are achieved.

"Our commitment to biodiversity conservation is not just a component of our sustainability strategy; it's a fundamental part of how we do business," says Mark Bristow. "With BRIA we are able to measure, monitor and mitigate our impact on biodiversity with greater certainty, empowering us to take proactive steps towards preserving natural ecosystems, while enhancing the resilience of species and habitats."

The deployment of BRIA underscores Barrick's leadership in sustainable mining and sets a new standard for the industry. By embracing data-driven insights and fostering partnerships with local communities and conservation experts, Barrick aims to achieve meaningful and lasting impacts on biodiversity conservation.

PIONEERING PROCESS CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS

Harnessing the latest technology to improve process controls has enabled Barrick to increase throughput and advance plans to reduce cyanide consumption.

Nevada Gold Mines' Gold Quarry roaster — the older of the complex's two roasters — is being extensively upgraded in a $67 million project (on a 100% basis) designed to increase its total throughput rate by 20%, improving cost efficiency and gold production. The final phase of the upgrade started late in Q2 and includes additional quench and solution cooling capacity and other major components. The project also includes the replacement of the sulphur dioxide converter supporting our emission controls.

At Kibali in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a cyanide recovery plant has been commissioned in what is the mining industry's first full-scale application of an upflow reactor technology, which recycles the cyanide instead of destroying it. The plant is achieving its cyanide reduction design performance, maintaining cyanide in the tailings to below the 50ppm target, while delivering an above-expectation additional gold recovery of 0.85%.

In the hunt for alternative leaching agents, testwork at Bulyanhulu in Tanzania has shown that a glycine-assisted leach in the cyanide-in-leach circuit significantly reduces cyanide consumption and reduces detoxification requirements. Glycine amenability bulk and pilot tests are also being conducted at Kibali and Loulo in Africa, as well as Nevada Gold Mines and at Veladero in Argentina, alongside evaluation of other lixiviant products.

SHAPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS

Reko Diq, Barrick's mega-project in Pakistan, is still at the infrastructure pre-construction stage but the Company is already investing in the creation of a local skills pool from which the future mine will draw its managers and operators.

This has started at the very beginning of the educational process, with the establishment of five junior schools where none had previously existed in this remote and underdeveloped part of Balochistan and extends all the way to the Veladero mine in Argentina, where Barrick has sent a cohort of promising young Pakistani graduates to learn firsthand how a successful mine is run.

"Here and throughout the global Barrick Group our goal is to cultivate a new generation of employees by equipping them with the tools required to address the technical, operational and managerial challenges presented by a dynamic mining industry in a rapidly evolving world," says Mark Bristow.

"Barrick has the industry's best assets and we need the best people to extract their full value. Our policy is to employ our host countries' nationals and then to empower them through a combination of theoretical and practical training, hands-on field experience and personalized mentoring to run our world-class mines. We demonstrated the success of this approach decades ago in Africa where we elected to create our own skills pool rather than to rely on expatriates, and where our Tier One mines have long been run almost entirely by local workforces and management teams."

The Africa & Middle East region continues to be a leading force in talent development. The recently established Barrick Academy at the former Buzwagi mine in Tanzania has already produced 582 graduates and is aiming to train a further 2,000 foremen and supervisors over the next two years. Both the North America and Latin America regions are developing similar programs as the Barrick Academy concept is rolled out across the group.

In Nevada, a specialized training mine was established in 2022 to equip operational new hires, particularly those with no mining experience, to work safely and efficiently. It has since graduated more than 600 operators and is expanding its curriculum to cater to supervisors.

Pueblo Viejo in the Dominican Republic has inaugurated a Leadership School with a first intake of 32 employees in partnership with the country's National Institute of Education for Technical Professionals. Management experts will lead a broad range of courses designed to guide the development of future leaders within the workforce. At Veladero in Argentina, where there is a strong focus on increasing the proportion of female employees, 24 women from the local community have been enrolled in a new Truck Operators Training Program which combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice in the field.

"The cornerstone of Barrick's global leadership development framework is our executive and management programs, reserved for high-potential performers. Since its inception in 2019, 22 employees have graduated from the executive program and 155 from the management program. We are well placed to ensure that Barrick will be a forward-facing, modern mining business far into the future," says Bristow.

EXPLORATION SUCCESS, CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND RESERVE GROWTH TO SUSTAIN KIBALI'S PRODUCTION PROFILE

Africa's largest gold mine, Kibali, continues to deliver growth as its strong record of replenishing reserves and resources, and further investment in technology and capacity, position it to sustain its annual production of more than 700,000 ounces (on 100% basis) past the current 10-year horizon to 15 years and beyond.²²

Speaking to local media and other stakeholders, Mark Bristow said Kibali was not only Africa's largest gold mine but also its most automated and, thanks to its three hydropower stations, a leader in renewable energy. When its back-up solar power plant and battery storage system are commissioned next year, the renewable component of its energy mix will increase to 85%.

"When we started building Kibali 14 years ago, this was one of the DRC's most underdeveloped regions. The value we created and the infrastructure we built here have since transformed it into a new economic frontier and a flourishing commercial hub, with a community that has grown from 30,000 to over 500,000 people. We've promoted this growth through investment in community development and partnering with local businesses we have mentored. Our Azambi power station, for example, was built by an all-Congolese team. Since 2010, Kibali's payments to local contractors and suppliers have amounted to almost $2.7 billion," Bristow said.

"In addition, Kibali has written a new chapter in Barrick's long support for Africa's biodiversity by partnering with African Parks and the DRC Government to re-introduce a sustainable population of white rhino to the DRC's Garamba National Park, which the mine also supports in other ways. This means that, together with the Barrick coffee project in the Haut-Uele region aimed at revitalizing the once vibrant Robusta coffee industry which Isiro was previously renowned for, we are not only looking after our host countries in the present but also to their national heritage in the future."

Bristow said Kibali was built on partnerships with its stakeholders, notably the government and its host communities. Based on its success, Barrick was ready to invest in new gold and copper opportunities in the DRC, provided the government continued to build alongside it.

BARRICK'S SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY DELIVERS REAL VALUE TO STAKEHOLDERS

Almost $12 billion of economic value generated by Barrick's mines last year remained in the countries in which it operates, according to the Company's 2023 Sustainability Report.

Mark Bristow says real, tangible sustainability can only be achieved through a holistic approach aligned to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. Barrick's conformance with ESG standards is a natural by-product of its sustainable business philosophy and not its driver.

"Barrick's distinctive approach to sustainability has evolved over many years, guided by the operational experience gained at its worldwide operations, the partnership philosophy at the heart of its business and the Company's belief that all stakeholders should benefit from the value it creates," he says. In 2023, 97% of its employees were host country nationals and $43 million has been invested by the Company's pioneering Community Development Committees (CDCs) in education, healthcare, food security, the environment, infrastructure and local economic development. Further details of Barrick's economic value contribution, including taxes paid, is included in its standalone Tax Contribution Report for 2023.

On the safety front, there was a 21% year-on-year improvement in Barrick's Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate²³ with total injuries reducing from 2022. The Company also recorded its lowest malaria incidence rate, a 33% year-on-year decrease from 17.86% in 2022 to 11.35% in 2023. "Our safety performance has been given additional focused attention with the establishment of new group-wide safety protocols to drive fatal risks down and achieve the zero target we have set ourselves," Bristow says.

Also in 2023, Barrick achieved the target it set for itself for 2025 of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 15%. Its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions have now been reduced by 16% against its 2018 baseline. Barrick will continue to reduce these emissions, with the long-term goal to be Net Zero by 2050. At the same time, it remains on track to achieve its Scope 3 emissions reduction targets which were set in consultation with its suppliers and service providers. Barrick also re-used or recycled 84% of the water it used in its operations, with an 85% recycle rate achieved at its water-stressed sites. Further sustainability metrics, detailed by site, region and at a company level, can be found in the GRI sheet.

Barrick is also targeting no net loss on any Key Biodiversity Features (KBFs) identified at its sites and is contributing positively to the conservation of high-risk biodiversity features. "This is best illustrated by the successful, and ongoing, reintroduction of white rhinos to the Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Today, these rhinos are safely roaming a park previously considered lost to poachers and nomad herders. Its restoration means that the surrounding communities can look forward to a secure future and one that holds the promise of eco-tourism's economic awards," says Bristow.

Barrick's fourth annual Sustainability Update webinar was held earlier this month. Visit our website to download the presentation and replay the event.

PORGERA REMAINS ON TRACK DESPITE MULITAKA LANDSLIDE CHALLENGES

Despite the operational challenges presented by the recent Mulitaka landslide, Porgera Gold Mine has met or exceeded its targets since resuming mining in December last year, with gold production and performance on all-in sustaining costs¹⁴ for the first half of the year setting the mine up to achieve full year guidance.

Mark Bristow, who was in the country to review New Porgera Limited's (NPL) second quarter results, said keeping Porgera open in the wake of the landslide allowed for a swift response by the mine to the collective recovery effort while sustaining the mine's contribution to the provincial and national economies.

"Reacting rapidly to the disaster, our teams put into operation an air bridge and a temporary pipe across the slip to be able to supply fuel and essential goods not only to the mine but to local businesses serving the tens of thousands of residents of the Porgera valley. The cooperation of the Mulitaka community is essential to keeping these lifelines open until the permanent bypass road can be completed," Bristow said, expressing his deepest sympathies to the families and friends of victims of the landslide and reaffirming NPL's commitment to impacted communities.

"Porgera employees have been on the ground in Mulitaka daily and are embedded at the Enga Provincial Government's disaster relief center in Wabag to assist with all aspects of the rehabilitation effort. These include the delivery of essential goods and fuel while contributing geotechnical expertise to assist with ground stabilization and the design of the new bypass road. Barrick and JV-partner Zijin also jointly contributed $1 million towards relief efforts, approximately half of which has already been deployed."

During his visit, Bristow met with Prime Minister James Marape, Enga Governor Sir Peter Ipatas and Provincial Administrator Sandis Tsaka to exchange views on the Mulitaka recovery, the New Porgera Community Development Agreement (CDA) negotiations, and other issues of common interest. It was agreed that the CDA must be consistent with the New Porgera project agreements and ensure that fair and equitable benefits reach all eligible landowners and the wider Porgeran community, as well as provincial and national stakeholders.

"NPL stands ready to pay benefits directly to landowner households, without going through middlemen, once the CDA is executed. The mine would make additional infrastructure contributions to the project footprint area through effective use of the tax credit scheme in collaboration with local and provincial authorities," Bristow said.

NPL currently employs 2,500 people, of whom 57% are from Porgera and Enga, 40% from the rest of Papua New Guinea and 3% expatriates. First gold, following the resumption of operations at the mine, was poured in January, electricity from the Hides power plant in Hela Province was restored in April and a throughput performance test agreed to with Papua New Guinea was achieved in June, four months ahead of schedule.

Bristow singled out the lack of law and order as the greatest threat to the continued operation and profitability of the mine, requiring the active support of all stakeholders to ensure that Porgera could continue to deliver benefits in line with its potential as a Tier One asset.

These results represent our 61.5% interest in Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Phoenix and Long Canyon until it transitioned to care and maintenance at the end of 2023, as previously reported.
Further information on these non-GAAP financial performance measures, including detailed reconciliations, is included in the endnotes to this press release.
Includes Goldrush.
Starting in the first quarter of 2024, we have ceased to include production or non-GAAP cost metrics for Long Canyon as it was placed on care and maintenance at the end of 2023, as previously reported.
As Porgera was placed on care and maintenance from April 25, 2020 until December 22, 2023, no operating data or per ounce data has been provided from the third quarter of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2023. On December 22, 2023, we completed the Commencement Agreement, pursuant to which the PNG government and BNL, the 95% owner and operator of the Porgera joint venture, agreed on a partnership for the future ownership and operation of the mine. Ownership of Porgera is now held in a new joint venture owned 51% by PNG stakeholders and 49% by a Barrick affiliate, PJL. PJL is jointly owned on a 50/50 basis by Barrick and Zijin Mining Group and therefore Barrick now holds a 24.5% ownership interest in the Porgera joint venture. Barrick holds a 23.5% interest in the economic benefits of the mine under the economic benefit sharing arrangement agreed with the PNG government whereby Barrick and Zijin Mining Group together share 47% of the overall economic benefits derived from the mine accumulated over time, and the PNG stakeholders share the remaining 53%. In the first quarter of 2024, Porgera had gold production but did not have any gold sales.
Excludes Pierina, which was producing incidental ounces until December 31, 2023 while in closure. It also excludes Long Canyon which is producing residual ounces from the leach pad while in care and maintenance.
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).

Starting in 2024, we have presented our copper production and sales quantities in tonnes rather than pounds (1 tonne is equivalent to 2,204.6 pounds). Production and sales amounts for prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes. Our copper cost metrics are still reported on a per pound basis.
Further information on these non-GAAP financial performance measures, including detailed reconciliations, is included in the endnotes to this press release.
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).

Endnotes

Endnote 1

Net earnings represents net earnings attributable to the equity holders of the Company.

Endnote 2

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.

"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.

"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.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, significant tax adjustments include the proposed settlement of the Zaldívar Tax Assessments in Chile. Significant tax adjustments for the six month period ended June 30, 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. For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, 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.

"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.

These amounts are presented on the same basis as our guidance. 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 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 performance measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Attributable capital expenditures are presented on the same basis as guidance, which includes 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 Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid and, beginning in 2024, our 24.5% share of Porgera.

Endnote 13

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).

Endnote 14

"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 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. "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.sedarplus.ca 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, 2024 include the removal of total cash costs and by-product credits associated with Pierina of $nil and $nil, respectively (March 31, 2024: $nil; June 30, 2023: $nil and $3 million, respectively), which was producing incidental ounces until December 31, 2023 while in closure.
c.	Non-controlling interests
	Non-controlling interests include non-controlling interests related to gold production of $532 million and $1,074 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 (March 31, 2024: $542 million and June 30, 2023: $533 million and $1,062 million, respectively). Non-controlling interests include NGM, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Tongon, North Mara and Bulyanhulu. Refer to Note 4 to the Financial Statements for further information.
d.	Exploration and evaluation costs
	Exploration, evaluation and project expenses are presented as minesite sustaining if they support current mine operations and project if they relate to future projects. Refer to page 50 of the Q2 2024 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 include the plant expansion project at Pueblo Viejo and the TS solar project at NGM. Refer to page 50 of the Q2 2024 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 and 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 up until December 31, 2023. The impact is summarized as the following:

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).
j.	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.
k.	Co-product costs per ounce
	Total cash costs per ounce, all-in sustaining costs per ounce and all-in costs per ounce presented on a co-product basis removes the impact of by-product credits of our gold production (net of non-controlling interest) calculated as:

($ millions)	For the three months ended						For the six months ended

Starting in 2024, we have presented our copper production and sales quantities in tonnes rather than pounds (1 tonne is equivalent to 2,204.6 pounds). Our copper cost metrics are still reported on a per pound basis.

Endnote 16

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).

Endnote 17

"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 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. 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.

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; 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;

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; 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 time frames; 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 to cyber-attacks, 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; 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.

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.
