ANOTHER STRONG QUARTER POSITIONS BARRICK
TO DELIVER ON ANNUAL PRODUCTION GUIDANCE
ALL AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS
Toronto, November 5, 2020 Capturing the benefit of higher gold prices through agile management and operational efficiency, Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) increased its operating cash flow by 80% quarter-on-quarter to $1.9 billion and free cash flow1 by 151% to $1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2020 a record level of quarterly free cash flow for the company. Net earnings per share was 50 cents, while adjusted net earnings per share2 was 78% higher than the prior quarter at 41 cents. Debt net of cash was reduced by a further 71% to $417 million, compared to $1.4 billion in the prior quarter, and the quarterly dividend was increased again, the third time in the past year, rising by 12.5% to 9 cents per share.
President and chief executive Mark Bristow said that two quarters into the Covid-19 pandemic, it was clear how effectively Barrick had been dealing with the impact of the virus on its business, its people and its communities.
As todays results show, in the face of unprecedented challenges we have succeeded in beating our earnings consensus, reinforcing our 10-year plan and capitalizing on the gold price to maintain an industry-leading balance sheet. Our year-to-date gold production of 3.6 million ounces keeps Barrick on track to achieve our guidance of between 4.6 and 5.0 million ounces for the year, he said.

e. | Barrick owned 75% of Turquoise Ridge through to the end of the second quarter of 2019, with our joint venture partner, Newmont, owning the remaining 25%. Turquoise Ridge was proportionately consolidated on the basis that the joint venture partners that have joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. The figures presented in this table are based on our 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge until June 30, 2019. On July 1, 2019, Barricks 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge as well as Newmonts Twin Creeks and 25% interest in Turquoise Ridge were contributed to Nevada Gold Mines. Starting July 1, 2019, the results represent our 61.5% share of Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks, now referred to as Turquoise Ridge. |
f. | A 61.5% interest in these sites was acquired as a result of the formation of Nevada Gold Mines on July 1, 2019. |
g. | As Porgera was placed on care and maintenance on April 25, 2020, no operating data or per ounce data is provided. |
h. | Formerly part of Acacia Mining plc. On September 17, 2019, Barrick acquired all of the shares of Acacia it did not own. Operating results are included at 100% from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (notwithstanding the completion of the Acacia transaction on September 17, 2019, we consolidated our interest in Acacia and recorded a non-controlling interest of 36.1% in the income statement for the entirety of the third quarter of 2019 as a matter of convenience), and on an 84% basis thereafter as the GoTs 16% free-carried interest was made effective from January 1, 2020. |
i. | On November 28, 2019, we completed the sale of our 50% interest in Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited for total cash consideration of $750 million. Accordingly, these represent our 50% interest until November 28, 2019. |
j. | Excludes Pierina; Lagunas Norte starting in the fourth quarter of 2019, and Golden Sunlight and Morila (40%) starting in the third quarter of 2019 which are producing incidental ounces as they reach the end of their mine lives. |
k. | Cost of sales per ounce (Barricks share) is calculated as gold cost of sales on an attributable basis (excluding sites in care and maintenance) divided by gold attributable ounces sold. |

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that deducts capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities. Barrick 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 meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other companies. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details on this non-GAAP measure are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barricks financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP financial performance measures. Adjusted net earnings excludes the following from net earnings: certain impairment charges (reversals) related to intangibles, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and investments; gains (losses) and other one-time costs relating to acquisitions or dispositions; foreign currency translation gains (losses); significant tax adjustments not related to current period earnings; and the tax effect and non-controlling interest of these items. The Company 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. Barrick believes that adjusted net earnings is a useful measure of our performance because these adjusting items 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 do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other companies. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, acquisition/disposition gains primarily relate to the gain on the remeasurement of Turquoise Ridge to fair value as a result of its contribution to Nevada Gold Mines. |
c. | Significant tax adjustments for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 mainly relates to deferred tax recoveries as a result of tax reform measures in Argentina and adjustments made in recognition of the net settlement of all outstanding disputes with the GoT. |
d. | Other expense adjustments for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2020 primarily relate to the gain on the remeasurement of the residual cash liability relating to our silver sale agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp., partially offset by care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and Covid-19 donations. For the three month period ended June 30, 2020, other expense adjustments primarily relate to care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and Covid-19 donations. The nine month period ended September 30, 2020 was further impacted by changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, other expense adjustments primarily relate to severance costs as a result of the implementation of a number of organizational reductions, the impact of changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision and transaction costs related to Nevada Gold Mines and Acacia. |

Realized price is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from sales: unrealized gains and losses on non-hedge derivative contracts; unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on provisional pricing from copper and gold sales contracts; sales attributable to ore purchase arrangements; treatment and refining charges; export duties; and cumulative catch-up adjustments to revenue relating to our streaming arrangements. This measure is intended to enable Management to better understand the price realized in each reporting period for gold and copper sales because unrealized mark-to-market values of non-hedge gold and copper derivatives are subject to change each period due to changes in market factors such as market and forward gold and copper prices, so that prices ultimately realized may differ from those recorded. The exclusion of such unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses from the presentation of this performance measure enables investors to understand performance based on the realized proceeds of selling gold and copper production. 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. Further details on these non-GAAP measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barricks financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Total cash costs per ounce, All-in sustaining costs per ounce and All-in costs per ounce are non-GAAP financial performance measures. Total cash costs per ounce starts with cost of sales related to gold production and removes depreciation, the non-controlling interest of cost of sales, and includes by product credits. All-in sustaining costs per ounce start with Total cash costs per ounce and add further costs which reflect the expenditures made to maintain current production levels, primarily sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining leases, general & administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs, and reclamation cost accretion and amortization. All-in costs per ounce starts with All-in sustaining costs per ounce and adds additional costs that reflect the varying costs of producing gold over the life-cycle of a mine, including: project capital expenditures and other 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 investors, analysts and other stakeholders 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 any standardized meaning under IFRS. Although a standardized definition of all-in sustaining costs was published in 2013 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), it is not a regulatory organization, and other companies may calculate this measure differently. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details on these non-GAAP measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barricks financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Figures remove the impact of: Pierina; Golden Sunlight and Morila starting in the third quarter of 2019; and Lagunas Norte starting in the fourth quarter of 2019, which are producing incidental ounces as they reach the end of their mine lives.
j. | Cost of sales per ounce |
Figures remove the cost of sales impact of: Pierina of $4 million and $14 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020: $4 million and September 30, 2019: $44 million and $71 million, respectively); starting in the third quarter of 2019, Golden Sunlight of $nil and $nil, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020: $nil and September 30, 2019: $1 million and $1 million, respectively) and Morila of $7 million and $20 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020: $8 million and September 30, 2019: $10 million and $10 million, respectively); and starting in the fourth quarter of 2019, Lagunas Norte of $22 million and $66 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020: $23 million and September 30, 2019: $nil and $nil, respectively), which are mining incidental ounces as these sites enter closure. Cost of sales per ounce excludes non-controlling interest related to gold production. Cost of sales applicable to gold per ounce is calculated using cost of sales on an attributable basis (removing the non-controlling interest of 40% Pueblo Viejo, 20% of Loulo-Gounkoto, 10.3% of Tongon, 16% North Mara, Bulyanhulu and Buzwagi starting January 1, 2020, the effective date of the GoTs free carried interest (36.1% up until September 30, 2019; notwithstanding the completion of the Acacia transaction on September 17, 2019, we consolidated our interest in Acacia and recorded a non-controlling interest of 36.1% in the income statement for the entirety of the third quarter of 2019 as a matter of convenience) and 40% South Arturo from cost of sales (63.1% of South Arturo from July 1, 2019 onwards as a result of its contribution to Nevada Gold Mines)), divided by attributable gold ounces. The non-controlling interest of 38.5% Nevada Gold Mines is also removed from cost of sales from July 1, 2019 onwards.

C1 cash costs per pound and All-in sustaining costs per pound are non-GAAP financial performance measures. C1 cash costs per pound is based on cost of sales but excludes the impact of depreciation and royalties and production taxes and includes treatment and refinement charges. All-in sustaining costs per pound begins with C1 cash costs per pound and adds further costs which reflect the additional costs of operating a mine, primarily sustaining capital expenditures, general & administrative costs and royalties and production taxes. Barrick believes that the use of C1 cash costs per pound and all-in sustaining costs per pound will assist investors, analysts, and other stakeholders in understanding the costs associated with producing copper, understanding the economics of copper 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. C1 cash costs per pound and All-in sustaining costs per pound are intended to provide additional information only, do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS, and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other companies. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings: income tax expense; finance costs; finance income; and depreciation. Management believes that EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Management uses EBITDA for this purpose. Adjusted EBITDA removes the effect of impairment charges; acquisition/disposition gains/losses; foreign currency translation gains/losses; other expense adjustments; and the impact of the income tax expense, finance costs, finance income and depreciation incurred in our equity method accounted investments. We believe these items provide a greater level of consistency with the adjusting items included in our Adjusted Net Earnings reconciliation, with the exception that these amounts are adjusted to remove any impact on finance costs/income, income tax expense and/or depreciation as they do not affect EBITDA. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in better understanding our ability to generate liquidity from our full business, including equity method investments, by excluding these amounts from the calculation as they are not indicative of the performance of our core mining business and not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the periods presented. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other companies. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, net impairment reversals primarily relate to non-current asset reversals at our Tanzanian assets. Net impairment reversals for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 mainly relate to non-current asset reversals at Lumwana, partially offset by impairments at Cortez and Lagunas Norte. |
c. | Acquisition/disposition gains for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 primarily relate to the gain on the sale of Massawa. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, acquisition/disposition gains primarily relate to the gain on the remeasurement of Turquoise Ridge to fair value as a result of its contribution to Nevada Gold Mines. |
d. | Other expense adjustments for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2020 primarily relate to the gain on the remeasurement of the residual cash liability relating to our silver sale agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp., partially offset by care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and Covid-19 donations. For the three month period ended June 30, 2020, other expense adjustments primarily relate to care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and Covid-19 donations. The nine month period ended September 30, 2020 was further impacted by changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, other expense adjustments primarily relate to severance costs as a result of the implementation of a number of organizational reductions, the impact of changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision and transaction costs related to Nevada Gold Mines and Acacia. |

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER 2020 | 26 | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings1 - three months ended September 30, 2020 versus June 30, 2020
Net earnings attributable to equity holders of Barrick (net earnings) for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $882 million compared to $357 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to the higher realized gold price1 of $1,926 per ounce in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1,725 per ounce in the prior quarter. This was combined with a gain of $104 million (no tax impact) on the remeasurement of the residual cash liability relating to our silver sale agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.
After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted net earnings1 of $726 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were 75% higher than the prior quarter. The increase in adjusted net earnings1 was mainly due to the higher realized gold price1 as discussed above, combined with higher gold sales volumes following the export of the remaining stockpiled concentrate in Tanzania, combined with higher production at Carlin and Pueblo Viejo following completion of scheduled plant maintenance in the prior quarter. This was partially offset by reduced production and sales volumes at Porgera as the mine entered care and maintenance on April 25, 2020, as well as at Cortez mainly from a decrease in trucking of open pit stockpiles to Carlin and lower grades from Cortez Hills Underground.
Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings1 - three months ended September 30, 2020 versus September 30, 2019
Net earnings for the third quarter of 2020 were $882 million compared to $2,277 million in the same prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to:
| a gain of $1.9 billion ($1.5 billion net of taxes) relating to the remeasurement of Turquoise Ridge to fair value as a result of its contribution to Nevada Gold Mines occurring in the same prior year period; and |
| an impairment reversal of $947 million ($663 million net of taxes) at Lumwana occurring in the same prior year period; partially offset by |
| a gain of $104 million (no tax impact) on the remeasurement of the residual cash liability relating to our silver sale agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. in the current year period. |
After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted net earnings1 of $726 million in the third quarter of 2020 were $462 million higher than the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the higher realized gold price1 of $1,926 per ounce in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1,476 per ounce in the same prior year period. This was partially offset by lower gold sales volumes, as a result of Porgera being placed on care and maintenance on April 25, 2020, combined with the sale of our 50% interest in Kalgoorlie on November 28, 2019. These impacts were partially offset by higher production at North Mara as a result of the lifting of the July 2019 Prohibition Notice which had resulted in the closure of the tailings storage facility and shut down of the processing plant during the third quarter of 2019 and the export of the remaining stockpiled concentrate in Tanzania in the current year period.
The significant adjusting item in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was:
| $103 million ($90 million before tax and non-controlling interest) in other expense adjustments, mainly related to a gain of $104 million (no tax impact) on the remeasurement of the residual cash liability relating to our silver sale agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp., partially offset by care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and donations relating to Covid-19 |
Refer to page 83 for a full list of reconciling items between net earnings and adjusted net earnings1 for the current and previous periods.
Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings1 - nine months ended September 30, 2020 versus September 30, 2019
Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $1,639 million compared to $2,582 million in the same prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to:
| a gain of $1.9 billion ($1.5 billion net of taxes) relating to the remeasurement of Turquoise Ridge to fair value as a result of its contribution to Nevada Gold Mines occurring in the prior year period; and |
| an impairment reversal of $947 million ($663 million net of taxes) at Lumwana occurring in the prior year period; partially offset by current year items consisting of: |
| a net impairment reversal of $111 million ($332 million before tax) resulting from the agreement with the GoT being signed and made effective in the first quarter of 2020; |
| a gain of $104 million (no tax impact) on the remeasurement of the residual cash liability relating to our silver sale agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.; and |
| a gain of $54 million (no tax impact) on the sale of Massawa. |

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER 2020 | 27 | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted net earnings1 of $1,426 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $824 million higher than the same prior year period. The significant increase in adjusted net earnings was primarily due to the higher realized gold price1 of $1,748 per ounce in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1,365 per ounce in the same prior year period, combined with the impact of the formation of Nevada Gold Mines on July 1, 2019. Gold sales volumes in the current period were further impacted by the re-commencement of exports of concentrate stockpiled in Tanzania. This was partially offset by lower grades mined and processed at Cortez as mining from CHOP was completed in the second quarter of 2019, Porgera entering care and maintenance on April 25, 2020, and the sale of our 50% interest in Kalgoorlie on November 28, 2019. Gold production was further impacted by the exclusion of Golden Sunlight and Morila after the second quarter of 2019 and Lagunas Norte after the third quarter of 2019 from our production calculation upon entering care and maintenance, and by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic at Veladero, where movement and social distancing restrictions slowed the remobilization of employees and contractors back to site after quarantine restrictions were lifted in April.
Significant adjusting items in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include:
| $94 million ($309 million before tax and non-controlling interest) in net impairment reversals, primarily relating to the Tanzanian assets; |
| $117 million in significant tax adjustments mainly due to deferred tax recoveries as a result of tax reform measures in Argentina and adjustments made in recognition of the net settlement of all outstanding disputes with the GoT; and |
| $54 million (no tax impact) in acquisition/disposition gains mainly relating to the sale of Massawa; partly offset by |
| $21 million ($56 million before tax and non-controlling interest) in other expense adjustments, primarily related to the impact of changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision, care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and donations related to Covid-19, partially offset by a gain of $104 million (no tax impact) on the remeasurement of the residual cash liability relating to our silver sale agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. |

Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow1 - three months ended September 30, 2020 versus June 30, 2020
In the three months ended September 30, 2020, we generated $1,859 million in operating cash flow, compared to $1,031 million in the prior quarter. The increase of $828 million was primarily due to the higher realized gold price1 of $1,926 per ounce in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1,725 per ounce in the prior quarter. This was combined with lower cash taxes paid and interest paid due to the timing of payments.
Free cash flow1 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $1,311 million, compared to $522 million in the prior quarter, reflecting higher operating cash flows, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. In the third quarter of 2020, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $548 million compared to $509 million in the prior quarter. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to higher project capital expenditures, namely the water management initiatives at North Mara, the Gounkoto underground expansion and the re-start of underground mining operations at Bulyanhulu.
Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow1 - three months ended September 30, 2020 versus September 30, 2019
In the third quarter of 2020, we generated $1,859 million in operating cash flow, compared to $1,004 million in the same prior year period. The increase of $855 million was primarily due to the higher realized gold price1 of $1,926 per ounce in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1,476 per ounce in the same prior year period, partially offset by lower gold sales volume and higher cash taxes paid.
In the third quarter of 2020, we generated free cash flow1 of $1,311 million compared to $502 million in the same prior year period. The increase primarily reflects higher operating cash flows, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. In the third quarter of 2020, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $548 million compared to $502 million in the third quarter of 2019. The increase in capital expenditures of $46 million was primarily due to higher project capital expenditures, namely the water management initiatives at North Mara, the Gounkoto underground expansion, the re-start of underground mining operations at Bulyanhulu and the commencement of early works expenditures for the proposed plant and tailings expansion project at Pueblo Viejo.
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER 2020 | 28 | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow1 - nine months ended September 30, 2020 versus September 30, 2019
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we generated $3,779 million in operating cash flow, compared to $1,958 million in the same prior year period. The increase of $1,821 million was primarily due to the higher realized gold price1 of $1,748 per ounce in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1,365 per ounce in the same prior year period, partially offset by lower gold sales volume and higher cash taxes paid.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we generated free cash flow1 of $2,271 million compared to $703 million in the same prior year period. The increase primarily reflects higher operating cash flows, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $1,508 million compared to $1,255 million in the same prior year period. Higher capital expenditures of $253 million were primarily due to the impact of the sites acquired as part of the formation of Nevada Gold Mines on July 1, 2019, which is consolidated and included at 100%. This was further impacted by increased capitalized stripping at Loulo-Gounkoto and our investment on the tailings storage facility and other water management initiatives at North Mara.

a. | Represents the combined results of Cortez, Goldstrike (including our 60% share of South Arturo) and our 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge until June 30, 2019. Commencing July 1, 2019, the date Nevada Gold Mines was established, the results represent our 61.5% interest in Cortez, Carlin (including Goldstrike and 60% of South Arturo), Turquoise Ridge (including Twin Creeks), Phoenix and Long Canyon. |
b. | These are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For further information and a detailed reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure used in this section of the MD&A to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, please see pages 82 to 106 of this MD&A. |
c. | On July 1, 2019, Barricks Goldstrike and Newmonts Carlin were contributed to Nevada Gold Mines and are now referred to as Carlin. As a result, the amounts presented represent Goldstrike on a 100% basis (including our 60% share of South Arturo) up until June 30, 2019, and the combined results of Carlin and Goldstrike (including NGMs 60% share of South Arturo) on a 61.5% basis thereafter. |
d. | On July 1, 2019, Cortez was contributed to Nevada Gold Mines, a joint venture with Newmont. As a result, the amounts presented are on an 100% basis up until June 30, 2019, and on a 61.5% basis thereafter. |
e. | Barrick owned 75% of Turquoise Ridge through to the end of the second quarter of 2019, with our joint venture partner, Newmont, owning the remaining 25%. Turquoise Ridge was proportionately consolidated on the basis that the joint venture partners that have joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. The figures presented in this table are based on our 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge until June 30, 2019. On July 1, 2019, Barricks 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge as well as Newmonts Twin Creeks and 25% interest in Turquoise Ridge were contributed to Nevada Gold Mines. Starting July 1, 2019, the results represent our 61.5% share of Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks, now referred to as Turquoise Ridge. |
f. | A 61.5% interest in these sites was acquired as a result of the formation of Nevada Gold Mines on July 1, 2019. |
g. | As Porgera was placed on care and maintenance on April 25, 2020, no operating data or per ounce data is provided. |
h. | Formerly part of Acacia Mining plc. On September 17, 2019, Barrick acquired all of the shares of Acacia it did not own. Operating results are included at 100% from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (notwithstanding the completion of the Acacia transaction on September 17, 2019, we consolidated our interest in Acacia and recorded a non-controlling interest of 36.1% in the income statement for the entirety of the third quarter of 2019 as a matter of convenience), and on an 84% basis thereafter as the GoTs 16% free-carried interest was made effective from January 1, 2020. |
i. | On November 28, 2019, we completed the sale of our 50% interest in Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited for total cash consideration of $750 million. Accordingly, these represent our 50% interest until November 28, 2019. |
j. | Excludes Pierina; Lagunas Norte starting in the fourth quarter of 2019; and Golden Sunlight and Morila (40%) starting in the third quarter of 2019 which are producing incidental ounces as they reach the end of their mine lives. |
k. | Cost of sales per ounce (Barricks share) is calculated as gold cost of sales on an attributable basis (excluding sites in care and maintenance) divided by gold attributable ounces sold. |

On July 1, 2019, Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) was established, which includes Barricks Cortez, Goldstrike, Turquoise Ridge and Goldrush properties and Newmont Corporations (Newmont) Carlin, Twin Creeks, Phoenix, Long Canyon and Lone Tree properties. Barrick is the operator of the joint venture and owns 61.5%, with Newmont owning the remaining 38.5% of the joint venture. Refer to the following pages for a detailed discussion of Cortez, Carlin (including Goldstrike) and Turquoise Ridge (including Twin Creeks) results.
Regulatory Matters
In a Special Session of the Nevada Legislature, which commenced on July 31, 2020, the Legislature passed three resolutions proposing amendments to the Nevada Constitution to modify provisions regarding the Net Proceeds of Minerals tax. These resolutions require further approvals, including a statewide vote to become law. If any of those resolutions were to ultimately result in an amendment of the Nevada Constitution, a potentially multi-year process, it could significantly increase the State taxes paid by NGM. The Company is engaged in constructive discussions with affected stakeholders on these resolutions, the fiscal requirements of the State and the economic contributions of the Nevada mining industry.

a. | Barrick owned 75% of Turquoise Ridge through to the end of the second quarter of 2019, with our joint venture partner, Newmont, owning the remaining 25%. Turquoise Ridge was proportionately consolidated on the basis that the joint venture partners that have joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. The figures presented in this table are based on our 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge until June 30, 2019. On July 1, 2019, Barricks 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge as well as Newmonts Twin Creeks and 25% interest in Turquoise Ridge were contributed to Nevada Gold Mines. Starting July 1, 2019, the results represent our 61.5% share of Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks, now referred to as Turquoise Ridge. |

j. | Cost of sales per ounce |
Figures remove the cost of sales impact of: Pierina of $4 million and $14 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020: $4 million and September 30, 2019: $44 million and $71 million, respectively); starting in the third quarter of 2019, Golden Sunlight of $nil and $nil, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020: $nil and September 30, 2019: $1 million and $1 million, respectively) and Morila of $7 million and $20 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020: $8 million and September 30, 2019: $10 million and $10 million, respectively); and starting in the fourth quarter of 2019, Lagunas Norte of $22 million and $66 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020: $23 million and September 30, 2019: $nil and $nil, respectively), which are mining incidental ounces as these sites enter closure. Cost of sales per ounce excludes non-controlling interest related to gold production. Cost of sales applicable to gold per ounce is calculated using cost of sales on an attributable basis (removing the non- controlling interest of 40% Pueblo Viejo, 20% of Loulo-Gounkoto, 10.3% of Tongon, 16% North Mara, Bulyanhulu and Buzwagi starting January 1, 2020, the effective date of the GoTs free carried interest (36.1% up until September 30, 2019; notwithstanding the completion of the Acacia transaction on September 17, 2019, we consolidated our interest in Acacia and recorded a non-controlling interest of 36.1% in the income statement for the entirety of the third quarter of 2019 as a matter of convenience) and 40% South Arturo from cost of sales (63.1% of South Arturo from July 1, 2019 onwards as a result of its contribution to Nevada Gold Mines)), divided by attributable gold ounces. The non-controlling interest of 38.5% Nevada Gold Mines is also removed from cost of sales from July 1, 2019 onwards.
k. | 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.

a. | On July 1, 2019, Barricks Goldstrike and Newmonts Carlin were contributed to Nevada Gold Mines and are now referred to as Carlin. As a result, the amounts presented represent Goldstrike on a 100% basis (including our 60% share of South Arturo) up until June 30, 2019, and the combined results of Carlin and Goldstrike (including our 60% share of South Arturo) on a 61.5% basis thereafter. |
b. | On July 1, 2019, Cortez was contributed to Nevada Gold Mines, a joint venture with Newmont. As a result, the amounts presented are on a 100% basis up until June 30, 2019, and on a 61.5% basis thereafter. |
c. | Barrick owned 75% of Turquoise Ridge through to the end of the second quarter of 2019, with our joint venture partner, Newmont, owning the remaining 25%. Turquoise Ridge was proportionately consolidated on the basis that the joint venture partners that have joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. The figures presented in this table are based on our 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge until June 30, 2019. On July 1, 2019, Barricks 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge as well as Newmonts Twin Creeks and 25% interest in Turquoise Ridge were contributed to Nevada Gold Mines. Starting July 1, 2019, the results represent our 61.5% share of Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks, now referred to as Turquoise Ridge. |
d. | These sites were acquired as a result of the formation of Nevada Gold Mines on July 1, 2019. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 did not form a part of the Barrick consolidated results as these sites were acquired as a result of the formation of Nevada Gold Mines. Therefore, no comparative figures are provided. |
e. | Represents the combined results of Cortez, Goldstrike (including our 60% share of South Arturo) and our 75% interest in Turquoise Ridge until June 30, 2019. Commencing July 1, 2019, the date Nevada Gold Mines was established, the results represent our 61.5% interest in Cortez, Carlin (including Goldstrike and 60% of South Arturo), Turquoise Ridge (including Twin Creeks), Phoenix and Long Canyon. |
f. | Non-recurring items |
Non-recurring items in 2019 relate to organizational restructuring. These costs are not indicative of our cost of production and have been excluded from the calculation of total cash costs. |
g. | Exploration and evaluation costs |
Exploration, evaluation and project expenses are presented as minesite sustaining if it supports current mine operations and project if it relates to future projects. Refer to page 75 of this MD&A. |
h. | Capital expenditures |
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER 2020 | 99 | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Capital expenditures are related to our gold sites only and are split between minesite sustaining and project capital expenditures. Project capital expenditures are distinct projects designed to increase the net present value of the mine and are not related to current production. Significant projects in the current year are the expansion project at Pueblo Viejo, the Goldrush exploration declines, the restart of mining activities at Bulyanhulu, and construction of the third shaft at Turquoise Ridge. Refer to page 74 of this MD&A. |
i. | 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. |
j. | Cost of sales per ounce |
Cost of sales applicable to gold per ounce is calculated using cost of sales on an attributable basis (removing the non-controlling interest of 40% Pueblo Viejo, 20% Loulo-Gounkoto, 10.3% Tongon, 16% North Mara, Bulyanhulu and Buzwagi starting January 1, 2020, the date the GoTs 16% free carried interest was made effective (36.1% until September 30, 2019; notwithstanding the completion of the Acacia transaction on September 17, 2019, we consolidated our interest in Acacia and recorded a non-controlling interest of 36.1% in the income statement for the entirety of the third quarter of 2019 as a matter of convenience) and 40% South Arturo from cost of sales (63.1% of South Arturo from July 1, 2019 onwards as a result of its contribution to Nevada Gold Mines)), divided by attributable gold ounces. The non-controlling interest of 38.5% Nevada Gold Mines is also removed from cost of sales from July 1, 2019 onwards. |
k. | 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. |
l. | 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: |

m. | On November 28, 2019, we completed the sale of our 50% interest in Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited for total cash consideration of $750 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of $408 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The operating results reported for Kalgoorlie reflect the Companys attributable share of Kalgoorlies results until the date of disposal. |
n. | Formerly part of Acacia Mining plc. On September 17, 2019, Barrick acquired all of the shares of Acacia it did not own. The results are on a 63.9% basis until September 30, 2019 (notwithstanding the completion of the Acacia transaction on September 17, 2019, we consolidated our interest in Acacia and recorded a non-controlling interest of 36.1% in the income statement for the entirety of the third quarter of 2019 as a matter of convenience), on a 100% basis from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and on an 84% basis from January 1, 2020 onwards, the date the GoTs 16% free carried interest was made effective. |
o. | As Porgera was placed on care and maintenance on April 25, 2020, no operating data or per ounce data was provided for the three months ended September 30, 2020. |
p. | With the end of mining at Lagunas Norte in the third quarter of 2019 and at Golden Sunlight and Morila in the second quarter of 2019 as previously reported, we have ceased to include production or non-GAAP cost metrics for these sites from October 1, 2019 and July 1, 2019, respectively, onwards. |

a. | Finance costs exclude accretion. |
b. | For the three month period ended September 30, 2020, we recorded no significant impairment charges or reversals. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, net impairment reversals primarily relate to non-current asset reversals at our Tanzanian assets. Net impairment reversals for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 mainly relate to non-current asset reversals at Lumwana, partially offset by impairments at Cortez and Lagunas Norte. |
c. | Acquisition/disposition gains for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 primarily relate to the gain on the sale of Massawa. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, acquisition/disposition gains primarily relate to the gain on the remeasurement of Turquoise Ridge to fair value as a result of its contribution to Nevada Gold Mines. |
d. | Other expense adjustments for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2020 primarily relate to the gain on the remeasurement of the residual cash liability relating to our silver sale agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp., partially offset by care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and Covid-19 donations. For the three month period ended June 30, 2020, other expense adjustments primarily relate to care and maintenance expenses at Porgera and Covid-19 donations. The nine month period ended September 30, 2020 was further impacted by changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, other expense adjustments primarily relate to severance costs as a result of the implementation of a number of organizational reductions, the impact of changes in the discount rate assumptions on our closed mine rehabilitation provision and transaction costs related to Nevada Gold Mines and Acacia. |

1 | These are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For further information and a detailed reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, please see pages 82 to 106 of this MD&A. |
2 | Cost of sales applicable to gold per ounce is calculated using cost of sales applicable to gold on an attributable basis (removing the non-controlling interest of 40% Pueblo Viejo; 20% Loulo-Gounkoto; 10.3% Tongon; 16% North Mara, Bulyanhulu and Buzwagi starting January 1, 2020, the date the GoTs 16% free carried interest was made effective (36.1% from January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019; notwithstanding the completion of the Acacia transaction on September 17, 2019, we consolidated our interest in Acacia and recorded a non-controlling interest of 36.1% in the income statement for the entirety of the third quarter of 2019 as a matter of convenience); 63.1% South Arturo from cost of sales from July 1, 2019 onwards as a result of its contribution to Nevada Gold Mines (and on a 40% basis from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019); and our proportionate share of cost of sales attributable to equity method investments (Kibali, and Morila until the second quarter of 2019), divided by attributable gold ounces. Also removes the non-controlling interest of 38.5% Nevada Gold Mines from cost of sales from July 1, 2019 onwards. Cost of sales applicable to copper per pound is calculated using cost of sales applicable to copper including our proportionate share of cost of sales attributable to equity method investments (Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid), divided by consolidated copper pounds (including our proportionate share of copper pounds from our equity method investments). |

5 > SEGMENT INFORMATION
Barricks business is organized into eighteen minesites and one project. Barricks Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) (Mark Bristow, President and Chief Executive Officer) reviews the operating results, assesses performance and makes capital allocation decisions at the minesite, Company and/or project level. Each individual minesite and the Pascua-Lama project are operating segments for financial reporting purposes. Our presentation of our reportable operating segments consists of nine gold mines (Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Kibali, Veladero, Porgera and North Mara). The remaining operating segments, including our copper mines, remaining gold mines and project, have been grouped into an other category and will not be reported on individually. Segment performance is evaluated based on a number of measures including operating income before tax, production levels and unit production costs. Certain costs are managed on a consolidated basis and are therefore not reflected in segment income. Prior period figures have been restated to reflect the changes made to our reportable operating segments in the prior year.
