Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings¹ - Q1 2025 versus Q4 2024

Net earnings attributable to equity holders of Barrick ("net earnings") for Q1 2025 were $474 million compared to $996 million in Q4 2024. The decrease was impacted by the following significant adjusting items:

long-lived asset impairment reversals of $655 million at Lumwana and $437 million at Veladero, partially offset by a goodwill impairment at Loulo-Gounkoto of $484 million, occurring in Q4 2024, partially offset by
other expense adjustments of $173 million which mainly related to the signing of agreements to settle legacy legal matters in the Philippines related to Placer Dome Inc. (refer to note 16 of the Financial Statements for further details), combined with reduced operations costs at Loulo-Gounkoto (refer to page 8 for further details).

Refer to page 38 for a full list of reconciling items between net earnings and adjusted net earnings¹ for the current and previous periods.

After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted net earnings¹ of $603 million for Q1 2025 was $191 million lower than Q4 2024 mainly due to decreased gold sales volumes and higher gold COS/oz², partially offset by higher realized gold and copper prices¹. The decrease in gold sales volumes was mainly as a result of the temporary suspension of operations at Loulo-Gounkoto starting January 14, 2025, combined with lower production at Carlin mainly due to the planned shutdown that occurred at the Goldstrike roaster in the current quarter, and a decrease in grades mined and processed at Cortez as per the mine plan. Higher gold COS/oz² was mainly due to the impact of the lower grades processed and lower throughput across most operations combined with higher maintenance costs at Carlin and Pueblo Viejo related to plant shutdown activity. Q1 2025 realized gold and copper prices¹ were 9% and 14% higher, respectively, when compared to Q4 2024.

Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings¹ - Q1 2025 versus Q1 2024

Net earnings and adjusted net earnings¹ for Q1 2025 were $474 million and $603 million, respectively, compared to $295 million and $333 million, respectively in Q1 2024. Among the drivers of the increase were higher realized gold and copper prices¹ and lower copper COS/lb², partially offset by lower gold sales volumes and higher gold COS/oz². Q1 2025 realized gold and copper prices¹ were 40% and 17% higher, respectively, when compared to Q1 2024. The decrease in gold sales volume was primarily due to the temporary suspension of operations at Loulo-Gounkoto, combined with lower production at Carlin resulting from the planned shutdown that occurred at the Goldstrike roaster, and at Cortez resulting from lower leach production due to a decrease in tonnes placed on the leach pad and lower oxide production driven by lower throughput and lower grades processed consistent with the planned mine sequence. The increase in gold COS/oz² was mainly due to the impact of lower fixed cost dilution driven by lower throughput and to a lesser extent lower grades processed at a number of operations, combined with higher royalties associated with the higher realized gold price¹. Lower copper COS/lb² resulted from lower depreciation and higher grades processed at Lumwana, partially offset by higher royalties associated with the higher realized copper price¹.

Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow¹ - Q1 2025 versus Q4 2024

In Q1 2025, we generated $1,212 million in operating cash flow, compared to $1,392 million in Q4 2024. The decrease of $180 million was primarily due to lower gold sales volumes and higher gold TCC/oz¹, partially offset by higher realized gold and copper prices¹. Operating cash flow was further impacted by an unfavorable movement in working capital, mainly in inventory, VAT receivable and accounts payable. These results were partially offset by a decrease in cash taxes paid and lower interest paid as a result of the timing of semi-annual interest payments on our bonds, which primarily occur in the second and fourth quarters.

In Q1 2025, we recorded free cash flow¹ of $375 million, compared to $501 million in Q4 2024, mainly reflecting lower operating cash flows as explained above, partially offset by lower capital expenditures. In Q1 2025, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $837 million compared to $891 million in Q4 2024, as discussed on page 35.

Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow¹ - Q1 2025 versus Q1 2024

In Q1 2025, we generated $1,212 million in operating cash flow, compared to $760 million in Q1 2024. The increase of $452 million was primarily due to higher realized gold and copper prices¹, and lower copper C1 cash costs/lb¹. This was partially offset by lower gold sales volumes and higher gold TCC/oz¹. These results were combined with a favorable movement in working capital, mainly in accounts payable and other current liabilities.

In Q1 2025, we generated free cash flow¹ of $375 million compared to $32 million in Q1 2024. The increase primarily reflects higher operating cash flows as explained above, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. In Q1 2025, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $837 million compared to $728 million in the first quarter of 2024, as discussed on page 35.

Key Business Developments

Loulo-Gounkoto Temporary Shutdown

The Company and the Government of Mali have been engaged in an ongoing dispute in connection with the existing mining conventions of Société des Mines de Loulo SA ("Somilo") and Société des Mines de Gounkoto ("Gounkoto") (together, the "Conventions").

On December 18, 2024, after multiple good faith attempts to resolve the dispute, Somilo and Gounkoto submitted a request for arbitration to ICSID in accordance with the provisions of their respective Conventions. On January 14, 2025, due to the restrictions imposed by the Government of Mali on gold shipments, the Company announced that the Loulo-Gounkoto complex would temporarily suspend operations.

For more information, refer to note 16 of the Financial Statements.

Donlin Sale

On April 22, 2025, Barrick announced it had entered into an agreement to sell its 50% interest in the Donlin Gold project located in Alaska, USA to affiliates of Paulson Advisers LLC and NOVAGOLD Resources Inc. ("NOVAGOLD") for total cash consideration of $1 billion. In addition, Barrick has granted NOVAGOLD an option to purchase the outstanding debt owed to Barrick (current value of $156 million presented in Other Assets) in connection with the Donlin Gold project for $90 million if purchased prior to closing, or for $100 million if purchased within 18 months from closing, when the option expires. If that option is not exercised, the debt will remaining outstanding, substantially in accordance with its existing terms which would largely defer repayment to the commencement of production.

Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and obtaining the required regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to be completed late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter of 2025. As at March 31, 2025, the assets and liabilities of our interest in the Donlin Gold project were classified as held-for-sale.

Name and Ticker Change

At the Company's Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders on May 6, 2025, Barrick's shareholders approved the change of the Company's corporate name from Barrick Gold Corporation to Barrick Mining Corporation, which was made effective on that date. In addition, as of May 9, 2025, Barrick's ticker on the New York Stock Exchange will change to "B" from "GOLD". Barrick's ticker on the TSX will remain unchanged.

Board of Directors Changes

Also at the Company's Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders on May 6, 2025, two new independent directors were elected to the Board of Directors: Ben van Beurden and Pekka Vauramo. They replace Christopher Coleman and Andrew Quinn who have retired from the Board.

Share Buyback Program

At the February 11, 2025 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized a new share buyback program for the purchase of up to $1 billion of Barrick's outstanding common shares over the next 12 months. Barrick repurchased $143 million of shares in Q1 2025 under this share buyback program.

The actual number of common shares that may be purchased, and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by Barrick based on a number of factors, including the Company's financial performance, the availability of cash flows, and the consideration of other uses of cash, including capital investment opportunities, returns to shareholders, and debt reduction.

The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of common shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

Sustainability

Sustainability, including our license to operate, is entrenched in our DNA: our sustainability strategy is our business plan. Please refer to page 13 of our fourth quarter and full year 2024 MD&A for a full description of governance, strategy, risk management and targets. Key updates for 2025 are summarized below:

We reiterate our steadfast dedication to the health and safety of our employees and contractors, their families, and the communities in which we operate, encapsulating our safety vision of "Every person going home safe and healthy every day." The ongoing efforts of our "Journey to Zero" initiative continues to make significant strides.

The Safety Committee, comprised of site safety leads, site technical leads, regional leads and technical Executives, held a workshop during Q1 2025 to review progress on the Journey to Zero and agree to 2025 priority actions. The outcomes of the workshop were presented to the Executive Committee in February 2025. The key safety actions for 2025 are focused on Safety Culture, Risk Management, Training and Contractor Management.

The tracking and reporting on leading indicators continues at all sites. These serve as proactive measures, quantifying prevention efforts and anticipating incidents before they occur.

During the quarter, we undertook over 31,000 Critical Control Verifications across the group. The group recorded a TRIFR³ of 0.71 during the quarter, a 15% improvement from the previous quarter, and an LTIFR³ of 0.10.

Barrick continues to roll out its climate risk assessments across the sites, the Barrick Biodiversity Residual Impact Assessment tool, and development of community based socio-economic metrics aligned to the UN SDGs across all sites. The outcomes of these various assessments will continue to be disclosed through the year as they are completed.

During Q1 2025, the Group's total Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) GHG emissions were 1,874 kt CO2-e. Absolute emissions are trending in line with 2024, however relatively emissions have increased as 2024 emissions included the continued operation of Loulo-Gounkoto.

Full Year 2025 Outlook

As a result of the temporary suspension of operations at Loulo-Gounkoto, we have excluded Loulo-Gounkoto from our 2025 production guidance (refer to page 8 for more information). We expect to update our guidance to include Loulo-Gounkoto when we have greater certainty regarding the timing for the restart of operations.

Excluding Loulo-Gounkoto, we continue to expect our 2025 gold production to be in the range of 3.15 to 3.50 million ounces. We expect Pueblo Viejo, Turquoise Ridge, Porgera and Kibali to deliver higher year-over-year performances, together with stable delivery across Carlin and Cortez. At Veladero and Phoenix, we expect 2025 production to be lower than 2024.

Across the four quarters of 2025, as previously indicated the Company's gold production is expected to be the lowest in Q1 and highest in Q4 due to the timing of shutdowns, the Goldrush ramp-up and mine sequencing across the NGM sites, the 35 day shutdown for debottlenecking work needed at Pueblo Viejo in Q1 as previously disclosed, and grade variability at Kibali driven by the mine plan. This trend is partially offset by Veladero and North Mara where production is slightly weighted to the first half of the year. This is expected to result in an approximately 46% / 54% split of the Company's total gold production between the first half and second half of the year, respectively. We expect to update the above commentary when we have greater certainty regarding the timing for the restart of operations at Loulo-Gounkoto.

Our 2025 gold cost guidance remains unchanged, including COS/oz² of $1,460 to $1,560, TCC/oz¹ of $1,050 to $1,130 and AISC/oz¹ of $1,460 to $1,560 (all based on a gold price assumption of $2,400/oz). We have previously disclosed a sensitivity of $5/oz on our 2025 gold cost guidance metrics for every $100/oz change in the gold price which is driven by higher royalties. On the basis of this sensitivity, if for example the gold price were to average $2,900/oz for the 2025 year, the above mentioned cost guidance ranges would increase by $25/oz. Aside from this impact, we are on track to achieve our 2025 gold cost guidance metrics.

We expect 2025 copper production to be in the range of 200 to 230 thousand tonnes. As previously indicated, production is expected to be more evenly spread over the last three quarters with Q1 being the lowest quarter of the year mainly driven by grade at Lumwana as per the mine plan. We are on track to achieve our copper cost guidance metrics for 2025, which are based on a copper price assumption of $4.00/lb. We have previously disclosed a sensitivity of $0.01/lb on our 2025 copper cost guidance metrics for every $0.25/lb change in the copper price which is driven by higher royalties. On the basis of this sensitivity, if for example the copper price were to average $4.75/lb for the 2024 year, the copper all-in sustaining cost¹ guidance range would increase by $0.03/lb (note royalties are excluded from C1 cash costs¹).

Further detail on our 2025 company guidance is provided below and on the next page, inclusive of the key assumptions that were used as the basis for this guidance as released on February 11, 2025 and as qualified by the comments above.

Financial Results

Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024

Gold production in Q1 2025 was 22% lower compared to Q4 2024 primarily due to the planned shutdown that occurred at the Goldstrike roaster in the current quarter, combined with a 13% decrease in processed grades driven by the feed mix with a higher proportion of lower grade stockpiled ore as per the plan. Of note, the roaster shutdown was completed ahead of schedule.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ in Q1 2025 were 16% and 18% higher, respectively, than Q4 2024, which mainly reflected the higher maintenance costs associated with the Goldstrike roaster shutdown, lower fixed cost dilution driven by the lower sales volumes and increased acid costs due to a higher proportion of acidic ore processed at the autoclave. Offsetting these impacts, open pit mining costs per tonne were lower in Q1 2025 driven by the operation of the new Komatsu-930 truck fleet which has delivered higher availability and lower fleet maintenance costs. In Q1 2025, AISC/oz¹ was 55% higher than Q4 2024, driven by higher TCC/oz¹, combined with higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹.

Capital expenditures increased by 93% compared to Q4 2024 mainly due to higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ driven by higher capitalized stripping at South Arturo. Project capital expenditures¹ were also higher in Q1 2025 with increased spend on the Ren project.

Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024

Gold production for Q1 2025 was 29% lower than Q1 2024, primarily due to the planned shutdown at the Goldstrike roaster as described above, combined with lower autoclave throughput driven by the need for proactive maintenance and the feed mix with a higher proportion of lower grade stockpiled ore as per the plan.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ for Q1 2025 were 25% and 29% higher, respectively, than Q1 2024, primarily due to higher maintenance costs associated with the Goldstrike roaster shutdown, lower fixed cost dilution driven by the lower sales volumes, partially offset by lower open pit mining costs resulting from the operation of the new Komatsu-930 truck fleet which has delivered higher availability and lower fleet maintenance costs. For Q1 2025, AISC/oz¹ was 52% higher than Q1 2024 primarily due to higher TCC/oz¹, combined with higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹.

Capital expenditures were 45% higher than Q1 2024, mainly due to higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ driven by the purchase of the Komatsu-930 truck fleet, and an increase in project capital expenditures¹ relating to the continuation of the Ren project.

Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024

Gold production in Q1 2025 was 26% lower than Q4 2024, primarily driven by a 13% decrease in underground grade mined and processed at the Carlin roasters and a 53% decrease in open pit grade mined, both consistent with the planned mine sequence.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ in Q1 2025 were both 10% higher than Q4 2024, primarily reflecting the lower grades processed. Offsetting these impacts, open pit mining costs per tonne were lower in Q1 2025 driven by ongoing efficiencies following the recent renewal of the mobile truck fleet, combined with headcount rationalization following the removal of old equipment. In Q1 2025, AISC/oz¹ was 7% higher than Q4 2024, driven by higher TCC/oz¹, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹.

Capital expenditures in Q1 2025 were 6% lower than Q4 2024, resulting from lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ primarily due to lower capitalized stripping at Crossroads Phase 6, while project capital

expenditures¹ increased by 17% in Q1 2025 as the ramp-up at Goldrush continues.

Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024

Gold production for Q1 2025 was 23% lower than Q1 2024, primarily driven by lower leach production due to a decrease in tonnes placed on the leach pad and lower oxide production driven by lower throughput and lower grades processed consistent with the planned mine sequence. This was partially offset by higher roaster production due to higher underground refractory ore mined, both from Cortez Hills underground and Goldrush underground.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ for Q1 2025 were 16% and 24% higher, respectively, than Q1 2024, reflecting lower fixed cost dilution combined with a higher proportion of higher cost refractory ounces processed at the Carlin roasters. For Q1 2025, AISC/oz¹ was 15% higher than Q1 2024, driven by higher TCC/oz¹, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹.

Capital expenditures in Q1 2025 were 6% lower than Q1 2024, largely due to lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ on the back of lower capitalized stripping at Crossroads Phase 6, partially offset by higher project capital expenditures¹ as the ramp-up at Goldrush continues.

Financial Results

Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024

Gold production in Q1 2025 was 21% lower than Q4 2024, mainly due to a 22% decrease in grade processed driven by mine sequencing at the Turquoise Ridge underground mine. This was partially offset by slightly higher throughput at the Sage autoclave.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ in Q1 2025 were 8% and 11% higher, respectively, than Q4 2024, primarily due to the lower grades processed. AISC/oz¹ was 12% higher than Q4 2024, primarily reflecting higher TCC/oz¹, combined with

higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ on a per ounce basis.

Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024

Gold production for Q1 2025 was 19% higher than Q1 2024, primarily due to the planned Sage autoclave maintenance shutdown that took place during Q1 2024 and subsequent uplift in production. This was partially offset by a 6% decrease in grade processed driven by mine sequencing and lower ore tonnes mined which resulted in a higher proportion of stockpile feed, partially offset by a 3% increase in grade mined from the Turquoise Ridge underground mine.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ for Q1 2025 were 7% and 10% lower, respectively, than Q1 2024, primarily owing to the decreased maintenance costs on the back of the planned Sage autoclave shutdown that occurred in Q1 2024. AISC/oz¹ was 15% lower than Q1 2024, reflecting lower TCC/oz¹ and lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹, driven in large part by the CIL tank upgrades occurring in Q1 2024.

Financial Results

Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024

Gold production in Q1 2025 was 20% lower than Q4 2024, primarily due to lower throughput resulting from the previously guided plant shutdown activities, as well as lower grades processed in line with the plan. This was partially offset by improved recoveries.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ for Q1 2025 were 11% and 15% higher, respectively, compared to Q4 2024, mainly driven by higher plant maintenance costs and the impact of lower production. For Q1 2025, AISC/oz¹ was 26% higher than Q4 2024, mainly driven by higher TCC/oz¹ and higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹.

Capital expenditures for Q1 2025 increased by 15% compared to Q4 2024, due to increased minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ driven by higher capitalized stripping and the successful execution of our process optimization projects, including the completion of the Thickener Optimization project, which is expected to improve throughput going forward. This was partially offset by lower project capital expenditures¹.

Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024

Gold production for Q1 2025 was 9% lower than Q1 2024, driven by lower throughput resulting from the previously guided plant shutdown activities, as well as lower grades processed in line with the plan.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ for Q1 2025 were 22% and 17% higher, respectively, compared to Q1 2024, driven by the impact of lower production, and higher royalties resulting from the higher realized gold price¹. For Q1 2025, AISC/oz¹ was 25% higher than Q1 2024, driven by higher TCC/oz¹ and increased minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹.

Capital expenditures for Q1 2025 decreased by 16% compared to Q1 2024, primarily due to lower project capital expenditures¹ related to the processing plant expansion that was completed in Q3 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ due to increased activities at the Llagal TSF and the execution of process optimization projects.

Financial Results

Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024

In Q1 2025, gold production was 26% lower than Q4 2024 mainly driven by lower grades processed from the underground as per the mine plan.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ were 23% and 28% higher, respectively, than Q4 2024 mainly due to the impact of the lower grade processed. AISC/oz¹ in Q1 2025 was 15% higher than Q4 2024, mainly due to higher TCC/oz¹, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹.

Capital expenditures for Q1 2025 were 37% lower compared to Q4 2024 due to decreased minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ driven by down payments on long-lead underground equipment made in Q4 2024 and lower project capital expenditures¹ following the completion of the paste plant which is expected to bring improved flexibility and lower costs to the underground moving forward.

Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024

Gold production for Q1 2025 was 46% higher mainly due to higher grades mined and processed and to a lesser extent higher throughput.

COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ were 25% and 26% lower, respectively, compared to Q1 2024, due to the higher grade processed, partially offset by higher royalties associated with the higher realized gold price¹. AISC/oz¹ in Q1 2025 was 28% lower than Q1 2024, mainly due to lower TCC/oz¹, combined with lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ on a per ounce basis.

For Q1 2025, capital expenditures increased by 13% compared to Q1 2024, mainly due to higher project capital expenditures¹ relating to the second crushing line and Rama land acquisition.

Phoenix (61.5%), Nevada, USA

Gold production for Phoenix in Q1 2025 was 21% lower compared to Q4 2024, mainly driven by lower grades mined and processed, partially offset by higher throughput. COS/oz² in Q1 2025 was 14% higher compared to Q4 2024 due to the lower grades processed. TCC/oz¹ was 1% lower due primarily to higher by-product credits on a per ounce basis, although this was offset by the higher COS/oz² as discussed above. In Q1 2025, AISC/oz¹ increased by 6% compared to Q4 2024 due primarily to higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ on a per ounce basis.

Veladero (50%), Argentina

Gold production for Veladero in Q1 2025 was 13% lower compared to Q4 2024 mainly driven by lower throughput resulting from the annual crusher maintenance in Q1 2025. COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ in Q1 2025 were 1% and 9% lower, respectively, than Q4 2024 driven by higher capitalized stripping. AISC/oz¹ in Q1 2025 increased by 7% compared to Q4 2024, primarily driven by higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹, partially offset by lower TCC/oz¹.

Tongon (89.7%), Côte d'Ivoire

Gold production for Tongon in Q1 2025 was 31% lower than Q4 2024, primarily due to lower grades processed. COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹ in Q1 2025 were 53% and 65% higher, respectively, compared to Q4 2024, primarily driven by the lower grades processed, higher energy costs in Q1 2025 due to power grid constraints necessitating higher reliance on diesel gensets, reduced oxide feed which increased reagent consumption and higher royalties reflecting a higher realized gold price. AISC/oz¹ in Q1 2025 increased by 47% compared to Q4 2024, primarily reflecting higher TCC/oz¹, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹. Although Tongon continues to be managed for the benefit of all stakeholders, our investment in this asset is not considered to be a core part of our portfolio.

Hemlo (100%), Ontario, Canada

Gold production in Q1 2025 was 3% lower than Q4 2024 resulting from lower ore tonnes mined and processed as per the planned mine sequence, which saw more waste tonnes mined in Q1 2025. This was partially offset by higher grades processed. COS/oz², TCC/oz¹ and AISC/oz¹ were all in line with the previous quarter. Our investment in this asset is not considered to be a core part of our portfolio.

Porgera (24.5%), Papua New Guinea

Gold production in Q1 2025 was 62% higher than Q4 2024 driven by the ongoing ramp-up of operations. COS/oz² was 21% lower than Q4 2024, driven by lower depreciation, while TCC/oz¹ was in line with the prior quarter. AISC/oz¹ decreased by 43% compared to Q4 2024 primarily reflecting lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹.

BARRICK FIRST QUARTER 2025

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Goldrush Project, Nevada, USA^{6}

Goldrush, which is included within Cortez, is expected to be a long-life underground mine with anticipated annual production in excess of 400,000 ounces of gold per year (100% basis) once in full production by 2028.

In Q1 2025, the sinking of the first of eight ventilation shafts and installation of two underground primary fans were completed, which enable increased mining rates. Execution planning for the next ventilation raise is underway with surface geotechnical drilling scheduled to begin in the second quarter. Surface access in Horse Canyon has been established to the initial vent shaft collar, dewatering wellhead, and dewatering pipe alignment. Installation of the HDPE dewatering pipeline tying the wellhead to the RIB in Pine Valley is under construction and expected to be complete in Q2. Earthworks and piping infrastructure for the initial RIB were completed during the first quarter. Goldrush dewatering activities are expected to begin in Q2 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, project spend was $447 million on a 100% basis (including $11 million in Q1 2025) inclusive of the exploration declines. This capital spent to date, together with the remaining expected pre-production capital, is still anticipated to be near the approximate $1 billion initial capital estimate for the Goldrush project (100% basis).

Fourmile, Nevada, USA^{7}

Fourmile, located adjacent to Goldrush, is a 100% owned Barrick asset in Nevada and has the potential to be a standalone Tier One Gold Asset^{5}. The current focus is on exploration drilling with promising results to date that support the potential to significantly increase the modeled extents of the declared mineral resource within the 2.5 kilometers of prospective Wenban stratigraphy, as well as to uplift the grade. A dedicated Barrick project development team and budget are targeting the extension of the existing mineral resources, while also evaluating an independent surface portal access from Bullion Hill, which would decouple the evaluation of the project from the existing Goldrush development and ultimately complement the current Goldrush multi-purpose development. Footwall development along the strike of the Fourmile orebodies would initially be used for underground exploration drilling and then later be re-used for mine haulage.

During Q1 2025, the design of the Bullion Hill portal surface disturbance was completed and this disturbance plan was submitted to the relevant authorities. The review and update of the mining trade-off studies continued in alignment with the ongoing PFS.

The 2025 drilling campaign commenced, focused on defining the orebody and delineating the overall Fourmile footprint, with drilling planned across the full strike length. Drilling will continue to ramp up in Q2 as 2025 will be the largest drill program at Fourmile to date.

Barrick anticipates Fourmile will be incorporated into the NGM joint venture, at fair market value, if certain criteria are met. In Q1 2025, we spent $5 million, out of an estimated $75 to $85 million for 2025 as we continue to expand the upside and continue conversion drilling in the known deposits. This will also cover additional study costs as we commence the prefeasibility study in 2025.

Ren, Nevada, USA

Ren is a new ore deposit at Goldstrike Underground and a key expansion project at Carlin. Located north of Goldstrike Underground's Meikle and Banshee deposits, Ren is anticipated to produce an average of 140,000 ounces per year (100% basis) once in full production in 2027.

To develop the deposit, the existing exploration drift will be duplicated, allowing for increased ventilation and secondary egress into the working area. Once completed, two additional exploration drilling platforms will be constructed to support further drilling on the project allowing for both the conversion of the existing resource and further growth of the deposit.

To support production mining of the deposit, an additional set of twin declines will be driven from the Betze-Post open pit to the north with the intent to provide life of mine ventilation to the deposit as well as a direct path for material to be hauled and hoisted out via the existing Meikle Headframe. To complete the project, a seven meter ventilation shaft will be sunk 550 meters to serve as an exhaust raise and utility conduit for mining the orebody.

During Q1 2025, the secondary drift development continued towards the northeast over the main portion of the eastern JB North mineralized zone. The first three drill bays have been completed, with the remaining drill stations to be completed throughout 2025. Rehabilitation of the initial exploration drift is continuing to improve area egress and ventilation. Infill conversion drilling began mid-March, with the first assay results expected to be returned in May to support the update for conversion by year-end. Portals in the Betze-Post open pit were completed and construction continued with setting utilities to support the development. Final contract negotiations advanced for the Ren ventilation shaft construction and a contract award is expected in Q2.

As at March 31, 2025, project spend was $95 million (including $23 million in Q1 2025) out of an estimated capital cost of $410 to $470 million (100% basis).

Pueblo Viejo Expansion, Dominican Republic^{8}

The Pueblo Viejo Life of Mine Expansion continues to focus on housing, resettlement, and the Naranjo Tailings Storage Facility. Engineering work is ongoing to optimize design, complete permitting and advance the project on schedule. Current field work includes the dam access road, the diorite filter access road, development of the diorite filter quarry, and ongoing drilling for site investigation. Competitive bids have now been received for all dam construction works and evaluations to select contactors will continue throughout 2025. The overall schedule remains on track to have the starter dam completed ahead of the existing Llagal dam reaching capacity.

The housing project continues with 220 homes constructed and 18 families now resettled. Only 30 homes remain to be started, with the potable water treatment facility fully operational, and elementary school construction and sewage treatment facilities advancing well.

The overall resettlement process continues to advance with compensation packages being presented and accepted, while the asset inventories and Resettlement Action Plan are due to be completed during Q2 2025.

As at March 31, 2025, total project spend was $1,143 million (including $13 million in Q1 2025) on a 100% basis. The estimated capital cost of the plant expansion and mine life extension project remains approximately $2.6 billion (100% basis).

Veladero Phase 8 Leach Pad, Argentina

The construction of the Phase 8 leach pad will be divided into three phases being 8A, 8B and 8C. In December 2024 the Phase 8A leach pad construction project was approved. Construction started in Q1 2025 and is expected to be completed by Q1 2026. Construction of the phase includes cutting, filling, sub-drainage and monitoring, leak collection and recirculation, impermeabilization, as well as pregnant leaching solution collection.

Overall, for Phase 8, as at March 31, 2025, project spend was $39 million (including $29 million in Q1 2025) out of an estimated capital cost of $250-270 million (100% basis).

Reko Diq Project, Pakistan

At the end of 2024, Barrick completed a full update of the project's 2010 feasibility study and 2011 expansion prefeasibility study and added 7.3 million tonnes of copper and 13 million ounces of attributable gold in probable reserves as at December 31, 2024¹⁰. Once fully commissioned, the Reko Diq project is projected to deliver 240,000 tonnes of copper production and 297,000 ounces of gold per year during Phase 1 increasing to 460,000 tonnes of copper and 520,000 ounces of gold during the first ten years (2034-2043) of Phase 2 (100% basis). This is based on an increased 45Mtpa process plant throughput in Phase 1 (from the original 40Mtpa) and 90Mtpa (from the original 80Mtpa) in Phase 2, following the grind size optimization work undertaken as part of the feasibility study. The total estimated capital cost of Phase 1 is $5.6-6.0 billion (100% basis, exclusive of capitalization of financing costs) to be spent between 2025-2029. On February 11, 2025, the Board of Directors conditionally approved the development of Phase 1 subject to the closing of up to $3 billion of limited recourse project financing. Assuming $3 billion of project financing, Barrick's share of the total partner equity contribution required to fund the construction of Phase 1 is expected to be $1.4-1.7 billion (exclusive of capitalization of financing costs). The total estimated capital cost of Phase 2 is $3.3-3.6 billion (100% basis, exclusive of capitalization of financing costs) to be spent between 2029-2033.

During Q1 2025, construction work advanced, with Fluor appointed as the lead Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management partner to work alongside the Barrick Owner's Team in the detailed design and construction of the project. Personnel continued to be recruited and mobilized for the project with the majority of new hires from Balochistan. In addition, the full project ESIA was approved by the Balochistan Environmental Protection Agency during Q1. Finally, in April 2025, the joint venture shareholders approved the project's updated Feasibility Study and conditionally approved the associated Phase 1 development capital subject to the closing of up to $3 billion limited recourse project financing. The target for first production remains by the end of 2028.

Capital expenditures commenced in Q2 2024, with total capitalized spend to date of $228 million (including $100 million in Q1 2025) (100% basis).

For 2025, following spend profile timing optimization with Fluor, the capital spend for the year is now anticipated to be under $1 billion (100% basis).

Kibali Solar Project, DRC

This project entails the design, supply and installation of a 16 MW photovoltaic solar farm with a 15 MW battery energy storage system to complement the existing hydroelectric power stations raising the renewable component of the

mine's energy mix from 81% to 85%. The completion of this project is projected to deliver a 53% reduction in fuel consumption in the power plant. The project is still tracking on schedule with completion forecasted for Q2 2025. The installation of the infrastructure progressed well during the quarter with the completion of the battery module installation and photovoltaic panel installation tracking at 99% completion. The 66kV substation extension component installation is complete and final cable terminations ongoing. Cold commissioning of the switchgear, battery modules and panels commenced during Q1 2025. Upcoming areas of focus include the completion of the control philosophy and hot commissioning of Phase 1. As at March 31, 2025, project spend was $39 million (including $7 million in Q1 2025) out of an estimated capital cost of $55 million (100% basis).

Lumwana Super Pit Expansion, Zambia¹¹

The Lumwana Super Pit Expansion is projected to deliver 240,000 tonnes of copper production per year, from a 52Mtpa process plant expansion, with a mine life of more than 30 years. Following the successful transition in 2023 to the owner stripping model we have already seen the 20% planned cost and efficiency benefit which aligns well with the interim mine volumes and longer-term expansion strategy.

The transition from the feasibility study to execution has now been completed. Long lead equipment manufacturing is in progress with certified vendor data provided to continue with detailed engineering of the process plant. The project execution schedule has been developed and is currently undergoing multiple reviews to maintain our target of first copper production during Q1 2028. The geotechnical site investigation report has been handed over to the engineering consultant providing a firm foundation for the earthworks and civil detailed engineering.

The contract for the enabling earthworks construction at the wet plant, including critical road infrastructure, has been awarded and mobilization commenced during Q1 2025. Earthworks is on schedule to commence during Q2 2025.

The building of the first accommodation units for the construction camp progressed to 90% completion during the quarter. The TSF design and reviews have been completed and the construction of the first diversion channel for the expanded facility is on track to commence during Q2. Steady progress of the detailed engineering during the quarter enabled the two major civil packages to be issued to the market on schedule.

For Q1 2025, we have spent $16 million, out of an estimated capital spend of $0.6 billion for 2025. As at March 31, 2025, the total spend on the expansion project is $178 million. The total project capital cost (exclusive of capitalized stripping) is expected to be $2 billion based on the approved feasibility study.

Exploration and Mineral Resource Management

The foundation of our exploration strategy is a deep organizational understanding that discovery through exploration is a long-term investment and the main value driver for the business. Our exploration strategy has multiple elements that all need to be in balance to deliver on Barrick's business plan for growth and long-term sustainability.

First, we seek to deliver projects of a short- to medium-term nature that will drive improvements in mine plans. Second, we seek to make new discoveries that add to Barrick's Tier One Gold Asset$^5$ portfolio. Third, we work to optimize the value of our major undeveloped projects and finally, we seek to identify emerging opportunities early in their value chain and secure them, where appropriate.

The following section summarizes the exploration results from Q1 2025.

North America

Carlin, Nevada, USA

Continued expansion and drilling in North Leeville resulted in confirmation of the geologic model and validation of high-grade mineral controls. Indicated conversion drilling at Pete Bajo also saw positive results, with drilling providing additional refinement to the Pickett and Leeville fault block, defining small scale folds ponding high grade.

Results from mapping and road cuts for drill access continue to provide prospective indications of mineral systems extending +5km north of the Leeville deposits. While the extent of the target area is upper plate siliclastic stratigraphy, fertile structures and fold and fault patterns provide encouragement for lower plate target concepts in the area. The drilling of three deep framework holes beginning in Q2 will test for anomalous and prospective structural features in the carbonate host stratigraphy.

Adjacent to Gold Quarry in the covered Carlin Basin, assays from the second framework hole returned 104 meters of continuous gold anomalous in an east verging thrust package of repeated favorable lower plate carbonates. Within the thrust, anomalous was elevated along a steep east-dipping fault, a common high-grade setting in orebodies across the district. The basin remains largely untested, and anomalous remains open to the northeast and drilling will begin in Q2 2025 to define the extent of the target area.

Building off 2024 Hanson results and interpretations, two target zones - Birch and El Rojo - have been defined within the imbricated thrust system. Birch is the focus for 2025, concentrating on the up-plunge growth potential by drilling from surface to ensure better intercept angles to properly define the ore body. The program commenced in early February completing three RC pre-collars and a partial core tail in Q1 2025.

At Swift, final assays were received for the second hole of the 2024 drill program. Additional zones of anomalous gold and associated Carlin-type geochemistry were encountered in the targeted structural corridor which expands the anomalous footprint 900 meters to the south. Faulting omitted the targeted favorable host rocks, but the early-stage framework drilling continues to provide valuable

information guiding the interpretation of the controls to the widespread alteration and anomalous gold encountered at Swift to date. The 2025 drill program will be more focused on targeted drilling of favorable structural intersections to vector in on high-grade mineralization.

Turquoise Ridge, Nevada, USA

During the quarter, step-out drilling on the T4 target was initiated at Turquoise Ridge, testing an updated fold and thrust model with associated west-verging thrust faults to the east of the third shaft. Historic drilling and geochemical signatures mark the fertile structures, with drilling focused towards testing their intersecting fold hinges and favorable stratigraphy.

Several underground drilling programs are also underway at Turquoise Ridge confirming significant ore-controlling features along the FED and MBD mine areas with infill drilling. Drilling will advance to step-out holes during Q2.

Regional, USA

Barrick's regional exploration team continues to identify opportunities and consolidate ground across the Western U.S. Fieldwork is in progress across the portfolio, supplemented by geophysical surveys as drill targets for large gold and copper systems are defined and advanced.

Patris, Quebec, Canada

Drill for till completed to cover the entire property along the two major deformations zone. Results are expected in Q2 2025, which will guide further exploration of the property.

Regional, Canada

Barrick's exploration team continues to evaluate new opportunities across Canada. A recent generative exercise identified a number for new areas of interest in the Superior Province region that are being prioritized for follow-up work. Permitting is progressing at the Sturgeon Lake project in Ontario where it is expected that fieldwork will resume in Q3 and in the Abitibi, deep framework drilling through cover on an untested part of the main structure is in progress.

Latin America & Asia-Pacific

Pueblo Viejo, Dominican Republic

At Pueblo Viejo, a technical review of all geological information is progressing at the district scale. This work has so far defined seven new emerging areas of interest for epithermal gold mineralization. Follow up work delineating these areas is ongoing and we are aiming to have new drill ready targets during the second half of 2025.

Regional Exploration, Dominican Republic

At Restauracion District, located in the western Dominican Republic, four large areas with potential to host gold mineralization have now been defined (epithermal or porphyry) and two of these areas have been prioritized due to encouraging field observations. Focused geological work will continue, with an Induced Polarization geophysical survey planned to commence in Q2 2025. It is expected that drill-ready targets will be defined in the second half of 2025 and drilling will follow.

BARRICK FIRST QUARTER 2025

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Jamaica

Early‐stage exploration activities continued under the earn‐in agreement with Geophysx. Four camp‐scale areas have been prioritized, with potential for gold epithermal or porphyry mineralization along the Cretaceous and Paleocene belts.

On the Cretaceous Belt, located in Central Jamaica, six undercover areas of interest are emerging, following the integration of Geophysx data and field reconnaissance.

At the Paleocene Belt, at the Shirley Castle camp, porphyry‐type alteration and mineralization has been recognized with emerging targets being defined. Target delineation will continue, aiming to have drill‐ready targets during the second half of 2025.

Veladero District, Argentina

The discovery of new ounces that add value to Veladero's Life of Mine remains a priority. An accelerated exploration program is ongoing, including a district‐scale review defining new epithermal gold targets.

Drilling is progressing at the Brujas and Argenta high‐sulfidation gold targets. At the Brujas high sulfidation gold target, located 10 kilometers south of Veladero, a four hole drilling campaign is being executed, focusing on potential shallow gold mineralization.

At the Argenta block, located five kilometers south of Veladero, the integration of legacy results and information from the Argenta Pit led to the identification of four areas of interest and drilling has recently commenced.

Peru

Several consolidated areas of interest in Peru are being advanced with projects at various stages, from reconnaissance work to first‐pass drilling, with a robust pipeline of targets.

The early‐stage work across multiple belts is delivering results, with newly consolidated ground that has potential for high sulfidation epithermal gold deposits or Porphyry Copper deposits.

In the Libelula District, the first drilling campaign continues to test the epithermal gold targets and is expected to be completed during Q2 2025.

In the Ccoropuro copper‐gold porphyry district in southern Peru, permitting is on track aiming to commence drilling in the second half of 2025.

Ecuador

Following Barrick's successful participation in a public tender process conducted by ENAMI EP (the state‐owned mining company of Ecuador) and the signing of a commercial framework agreement with ENAMI EP, the team is negotiating specific agreements, while continuing with community engagement.

Reko Diq, Pakistan12

Exploration activities at Reko Diq continue to progress positively, with a strong focus on enhancing the geological understanding of the district. A structural framework study is ongoing, in parallel with geological mapping at local‐ and district‐scale on the priority areas. Concurrently, the team is reviewing the pipeline of projects that can have an earlier impact on Reko Diq's Life of Mine, and prioritizing the activities on those.

A large‐scale 3D Induced Polarization geophysical survey, covering over 60 square kilometers, is scheduled to commence in Q2 2025. The survey will encompass much of the mining lease area with all currently defined targets, including the Western Porphyries. This survey will later be used to fully characterize the known porphyries petrophysical response, supporting prioritization and ranking of both existing targets and those that may be identified later that are under thin cover.

As an encouraging early result of this work, the team identified Bukit Pasir copper and gold target as a high potential target. Bukit Pasir is located four kilometers north of the Western Porphyries and it is partially undercover. Through detailed mapping of trenches, the team recognized similarities with the H15 and H14 systems, (the core of the Western Porphyries), and potential for shallow and continuous mineralization. The first hole (RD001183) was completed in March, with a total depth of 1,035.98 meters. The hole intercepted 902 meters at 0.50% Cu and 0.19 g/t Au from 78 meters, including 556 meters at 0.60% Cu and 0.21 g/t Au from 366 meters. Primary copper sulfides, including chalcopyrite and bornite, were observed from depths as shallow as 30 meters. The second hole (RD001184A), located 200 meters north of RD001183, ended at 1,073.1 meters, also intercepted shallow mineralized rocks. Currently the team is drilling the third hole, located 300 meters north of RD001184A. These very encouraging early results demonstrate the significant potential for further upside within the Reko Diq mining lease. Additional drilling will be completed, aiming to understand the footprint and potential of the Bukit Pasir system, during Q2 and Q3 2025.

Porgera, Papua New Guinea

Drilling on the Wangima target continued, with over 9,600 meters of diamond drilling completed during Q1. Exploration activities over areas of interest located to the north of the Wangima drilling areas are ongoing, with encouraging results. A comprehensive review of all geological information is progressing at the Porgera district. The key objective of this program is to generate new exploration targets, with field programs including mapping and geochemical sampling to be undertaken in the second quarter.

Japan Gold Strategic Alliance, Japan

At Ebino, located near the world‐class Hishikari low‐sulfidation gold deposit, permitting activities are advancing as planned. Drilling of two defined low‐sulfidation epithermal gold targets is scheduled to commence in Q2 2025.

At the Hakuryu area, located in the North of Japan, drilling began in April 2025 in a previously defined low sulfidation gold target.

Africa and Middle East

Senegal Exploration Portfolio

In Senegal, exploration programs have commenced in earnest on the three exploration licenses included in the agreement with Managem reported last quarter. Target delineation programs including geochemical sampling and geophysics are in progress, with initial observations including strong alteration along multiple subparallel mineralized corridors, supporting the prospectivity of the 820 square kilometer land package.

Loulo-Gounkoto, Mali

A comprehensive geological review of the Loulo District has been completed, leading to the identification of several new exploration targets. This has also allowed for a re-prioritization of targets with the highest impact potential targets being the focus for resuming work once the temporary suspension of operations is lifted (refer to page 8 for further details.) Among these, the Baboto Complex stands out, demonstrating significant orebody potential.

Tongon, Côte D'Ivoire¹³

Drilling was carried out this quarter on several targets, aiming to provide near-term flexibility to Tongon. The results confirmed shallow, high-grade mineralization at Koro Safe and Nagra, indicating the potential to develop into valuable satellites with further drilling. At Koro Safe, drilling intersected mineralization within a 30 meter wide corridor, extending over 250 meters strike characterized by veining, hematite, and sericite alteration, with the higher grades concentrated along the contact between fine-grained sediment with andesite. Significant intersections include 15 meters at 5.02 g/t (SFAC026) and 6 meters at 9.96 g/t (SFAC029). At Nagra, drill results from three air core lines across a 500 meter portion of the host granitic intrusion confirmed a broad, anomalous mineralized system with several high-grade intersections, related to quartz vein stockworks in the granite, including 32 meters at 4.10 g/t, including 3 meters at 21.54 g/t (NGAC017) and 9 meters at 2.78 g/t including 6 meters at 3.53 g/t (NGAC010). Follow-up drilling is planned to delineate the size and extent of the defined stockwork system, which remains open to the north and at depth.

Kibali, DRC¹⁴

At ARK, an intensive drilling program is in progress aiming to deliver a high-grade multi-million ounce orebody four kilometers from the plant. Results to date have highlighted multiple new emerging mineralized shoots and significant extensions of the known systems down plunge and along strike with most of the mineralized shoots remaining open with widespread opportunities for additional discoveries. Significant results during Q1 include: RHGC2098: 20 meters at 5.74 g/t, RHGC2099: 14 meters at 5.32 g/t, RHGC2138:14 meters at 5.42 g/t.

At KCD, drilling is in progress targeting a 500 meter down-plunge extension of the mineralized system. The second hole is interpreted to have intersected the modelled extension of the 3000 lode (assays pending) representing a large scale extension of the mineralization which remains open laterally and along the plunge. Drilling

will continue with additional holes planned to test core of the modelled extensions of the 3000, 5000 and 9000 lodes.

At Aindi Watsa, on the KZ-South structure, a follow-up drilling program has commenced to test the extension of high-grade zones previously intersected along the 1.8 kilometer long shear corridor. This program will assess the potential of Aindi Watsa to deliver an open pit satellite orebody south of the Kibali river and unlock the full 15+ kilometer strike of the KZ South Structure.

North Mara and Bulyanhulu, Tanzania

In Tanzania, preparations for the field season commencing in Q2 2025 have been a focus, with multiple key programs designed to generate and test high priority targets near the North Mara and Bulyanhulu operations as well as further afield in the highly prospective greenfield portfolio.

At North Mara, during Q1 2025, 10 permits (~90km²) were granted along the modelled strike extension of the Rama shear, the main controlling structure of the Rama deposit. Geological mapping has identified new structures with Rama-style silica-sericite-albite alteration, which will be explored for near-surface satellite potential. Additionally, at the Tagota complex, follow-up drilling is planned to commence in Q2 2025 to test multiple highly ranked opportunities within 15 kilometers of the plant.

On the Bulyanhulu Inlier, observations from framework drilling at Kalemero supports the potential for Bulyanhulu Reef 1 & 2 style geological settings, supporting the potential for discoveries within trucking distance to the plant. Follow-up drilling is planned to test priority targets in Q2 2025.

At Nzega and Siga, upon the conclusion of the rainy-season, intensive target delineation programs will commence to test below extensive post-mineral cover which has preserved the discovery potential for additional major gold deposits in the belt along multiple large scale mineralized structures.

Jabal Sayid, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

At Jabal Sayid and the surrounding exploration licenses, deep penetrating ground electro-magnetics and high-resolution gravity surveys have commenced over the prospective corridors delineated last quarter to test for massive sulphide at depth below the limit of current drilling and airborne geophysical survey penetration. Targets generated will be ranked and drill tested late in Q2 2025. Additionally, deep diamond drilling is planned to commence this quarter beneath the known lodes at Jabal Sayid to test for repeating zones of mineralization along the controlling structures.

Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024

In Q1 2025, gold revenues on a consolidated basis decreased by 17% compared to Q4 2024, as lower sales volumes were partially offset by a higher realized gold price¹. The average market price for Q1 2025 was $2,860/oz, representing an all-time high quarterly average and a 7% increase versus the $2,663/oz average in Q4 2024. During Q1 2025, the gold price ranged from $2,615/oz to an all-time nominal high of $3,128/oz (although this was surpassed subsequent to March 31), and closed the quarter at $3,115/oz. Gold prices in Q1 2025 continued to be volatile, impacted by economic and geopolitical concerns, especially related to potential trade disputes, and a decline in the value of the trade-weighted US dollar.

In Q1 2025, gold production on an attributable basis decreased by 30% compared to Q4 2024 mainly as a result of the temporary suspension of operations at Loulou-Gounkoto starting January 14, 2025 (refer to page 8 for further details). This was combined with lower production at Carlin mainly due to the planned shutdown that occurred at the Goldstrike roaster in the current quarter, and a decrease in grades mined and processed at Cortez as per the mine plan.

ATTRIBUTABLE GOLD PRODUCTION VARIANCE (000s oz) Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024

In Q1 2025, copper revenues on a consolidated basis increased by 17% compared to Q4 2024, primarily due to a higher realized copper price¹, partially offset by slightly lower sales volumes compared to Q4 2024. The average market price in Q1 2025 was $4.24/lb, representing a increase of 2% from the $4.17/lb average in Q4 2024. The realized copper price¹ in Q1 2025 was higher than the market copper price due to the impact of positive provisional pricing adjustments, whereas a negative provisional pricing adjustment was recorded in Q4 2024. During Q1 2025, the copper price traded in a range of $3.98/lb to $4.61/lb, and closed the quarter at $4.39/lb. Copper prices in Q1 2025 were impacted by a decline in the trade-weighted USD dollar, concerns about the global economy resulting from global trade disputes, and demand forecasts in China, which is the world's largest consumer of copper.

Attributable copper production in Q1 2025 was 20 thousand tonnes lower compared to Q4 2024 driven by lower grades processed and lower throughput at Lumwana, as per the mine plan.

Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024

For Q1 2025, gold revenues on a consolidated basis increased by 9% compared to Q1 2024, primarily due to a higher realized gold price¹, partially offset by lower sales volumes. The average market price for Q1 2025 was $2,860/oz versus $2,070/oz for Q1 2024.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For Q1 2025, attributable gold production was 182 thousand ounces lower than Q1 2024, primarily due to the temporary suspension of operations at Loulo-Gounkoto, combined with lower production at Carlin resulting from the planned shutdown that occurred at the Goldstrike roaster, and at Cortez resulting from lower leach production due to a decrease in tonnes placed on the leach pad and lower oxide production driven by lower throughput and lower grades processed consistent with the planned mine sequence.

For Q1 2025, copper revenues on a consolidated basis increased by 87% compared to Q1 2024, due to increased sales volumes and a higher realized copper price¹. In Q1 2025, the realized copper price¹ was higher than the market copper price, as discussed above, consistent with Q1 2024.

Attributable copper production for Q1 2025 was 4 thousand tonnes higher than Q1 2024, mainly due to higher grades processed and higher recoveries at Lumwana.

Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024

In Q1 2025, gold cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 13% lower than Q4 2024, mainly due to lower sales volumes. Our 45% interest in Kibali and 24.5% interest in Porgera are equity accounted, and therefore each mine's cost of sales is excluded from our consolidated gold cost of sales. Our per ounce metrics, gold COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹, includes our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees, and were 14% and 17% higher, respectively, than Q4 2024, mainly due to the impact of lower grades processed and lower throughput across most operations combined with higher maintenance costs at Carlin and Pueblo Viejo related to plant shutdown activity.

In Q1 2025, gold AISC/oz¹, which also includes our proportionate share of equity method investees, increased by 22% compared to Q4 2024. This was primarily due to higher TCC/oz¹, as explained above, combined with increased minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹.

In Q1 2025, copper cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 16% higher than Q4 2024, mainly due to higher site operating costs. Our 50% interests in Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid are equity accounted and therefore, we do not include their cost of sales in our consolidated copper cost of sales. Our per pound metrics, copper COS/lb² and C1 cash costs/lb¹, include our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees. Copper COS/lb² and C1 cash costs/lb¹ were 11% and 10% higher, respectively, compared to Q4 2024, primarily at Lumwana due to the impact of lower grades processed.

In Q1 2025, copper AISC/lb¹, which also includes our proportionate share of equity method investees, was in line with Q4 2024, as a decrease in minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ was offset by the increase in C1 cash costs/lb¹.

Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024

For Q1 2025, gold cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 11% lower than Q1 2024, mainly due to lower sales volumes. As described above, our per ounce metrics, gold COS/oz² and TCC/oz¹, include our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees, and were 14% and 16% higher, respectively, compared to Q1 2024. This was mainly due to the impact of lower fixed cost dilution driven by lower throughput and to a lesser extent lower grades processed at a number of operations, combined with higher royalties associated with the higher realized gold price¹.

For Q1 2025, gold AISC/oz¹ was 20% higher than Q1 2024, primarily due to higher TCC/oz¹, as described above, combined with higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ on a per ounce basis.

For Q1 2025, copper cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 24% higher than Q1 2024, primarily due to the impact of higher sales volumes. As described above, our per pound metrics, copper COS/lb² and C1 cash costs/lb¹, include our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees. Copper COS/lb² and C1 cash costs/lb¹ were 9% and 6% lower, respectively, compared to Q1 2024, due to higher grades processed at Lumwana, partially offset by higher royalties associated with the higher realized copper price¹. Copper COS/lb² was further impacted by lower depreciation per pound.

For Q1 2025, copper AISC/lb¹ was 15% lower than Q1 2024, primarily reflecting lower C1 cash costs/lb¹, as per above, combined with lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹ resulting from lower capitalized stripping at Lumwana.

Impairment Charges

In Q1 2025, net impairment charges were $4 million, compared to reversals of $477 million in Q4 2024 and charges of $17 million in Q1 2024. There were no significant impairment charges or reversals in Q1 2025 nor Q1 2024. The net impairment reversals in Q4 2024 relate to non-current asset impairment reversals of $655 million at Lumwana as a result of the inclusion of the Super Pit Expansion in the LOM plan and higher copper prices, and $437 million at Veladero, reflecting higher gold prices, extended mine life and lower country risk. Offsetting these reversals, we recognized a goodwill impairment of $484 million at Loulo-Gounkoto in Q4 2024.

Loss on Currency Translation

Loss on currency translation in Q1 2025 was $2 million compared to $18 million in Q4 2024 and $12 million in Q1 2024. The loss in Q1 2025 mainly relates to the devaluation of the Tanzanian shilling, partially offset by the appreciation of the Chilean peso and the West African CFA, while the losses in both Q4 2024 and Q1 2024 mainly relate to the devaluation of the Chilean peso. Currency fluctuations result in a revaluation of our local currency denominated VAT receivables and local currency denominated payable balances.

Closed Mine Rehabilitation

Closed mine rehabilitation expense in Q1 2025 was $19 million, mainly due to a decrease in the market real risk-free rate used to discount the closure provision. This compares to $11 million in Q4 2024 resulting from higher closure cost estimates at various closure sites, partially offset by an increase in the market real risk-free rate, and to a gain of $2 million in Q1 2024 mainly due to a slight increase in the market real risk-free rate.

Other Expense

Other expense in Q1 2025 was $170 million, mainly due to the signing of agreements to settle legacy legal matters in the Philippines related to Placer Dome Inc. (refer to note 16 of the Financial Statements for further details), combined with reduced operations costs at Loulo-Gounkoto (refer to page 8 for further details). This compares to other expense of $71 million in Q4 2024, which mainly related to the $84 million payment to the Government of Mali to advance negotiations and the $60 million customs and royalty settlement at Tongon, partially offset by the insurance proceeds received in relation to the claim for the 2023 conveyor failure at Pueblo Viejo and the gain on sale of miscellaneous non-current assets. There were no significant other expense/income items in Q1 2024.

For a further breakdown of other expense, refer to note 9 to the Financial Statements.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $278 million in Q1 2025. The unadjusted effective income tax rate in Q1 2025 was 26% of income before income taxes.

The underlying effective income tax rate on ordinary income in Q1 2025 was 26% after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation losses on deferred tax balances; the impact of net impairment charges; the impact of updates to the rehabilitation provision for our non-operating mines; the impact of non-deductible foreign exchange losses; the impact of the signing of agreements to settle legacy legal matters in the Philippines related to Placer Dome Inc.; the impact of Loulo-Gounkoto's reduced operations costs; and the impact of other expense adjustments.

We record deferred tax charges or credits if changes in facts or circumstances affect the estimated tax basis of assets and therefore, the expectations of our ability to realize deferred tax assets. The interpretation of tax regulations and legislation as well as their application to our business is complex and subject to change. We have significant amounts of deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards, and also deferred tax liabilities. We also have significant amounts of unrecognized deferred tax assets (e.g. for tax losses in Canada). Potential changes in any of these amounts, as well as our ability to realize deferred tax assets, could significantly affect net income or cash flow in future periods. For further details on income tax expense, refer to note 10 of the Financial Statements.

Withholding Taxes

In Q1 2025, we recorded $20 million of dividend withholding taxes related to the undistributed and distributed earnings of our subsidiaries in the United States and Tanzania.

OECD Pillar Two model rules

We have applied the exception available under the amendments to IAS 12 published by the IASB in May 2023 and are not recognizing or disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. Our review of Pillar Two for the current year, based on the OECD's Transitional Safe Harbour rules as implemented in the Global Minimum Tax Act in Canada, has not identified any material amounts to be accrued for Q1 2025. As the law is evolving, both in Canada and elsewhere, we will continue to monitor the impact of this legislation.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets were $48.1 billion as at March 31, 2025, slightly higher than total assets as at December 31, 2024.

Our asset base is primarily comprised of non-current assets such as property, plant and equipment and equity method investments, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of the mining business and our history of growing through acquisitions and creation of joint ventures with other mining companies. Other significant assets include production inventories, indirect taxes recoverable and receivable, concentrate sales receivable, other government and joint venture related receivables, as well as cash and equivalents.

Total liabilities at March 31, 2025 were $14.6 billion, slightly higher than total liabilities at December 31, 2024. Our liabilities are primarily comprised of debt, other non-current liabilities (such as provisions and deferred income tax liabilities), and accounts payable.

Financial Position and Liquidity

We believe we have sufficient financial resources to meet our business requirements for the foreseeable future, including capital expenditures, working capital requirements, interest payments, environmental rehabilitation, securities buybacks and dividends.

Total cash and cash equivalents as at March 31, 2025 were $4.1 billion. Our capital structure comprises a mix of debt, non-controlling interest (primarily at NGM) and shareholders' equity. As at March 31, 2025, our total debt was $4.7 billion (debt, net of cash and equivalents was $623 million) and our debt-to-equity ratio was 0.14:1. This compares to total debt as at December 31, 2024 of $4.7 billion (debt, net of cash and equivalents was $655 million), and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.14:1.

Uses of cash for the remainder of 2025 include capital commitments of $740 million, and we expect to incur attributable minesite sustaining¹ and project capital expenditures¹ of approximately $2,500 to $3,000 million during the remainder of the year, based on our annual guidance range on page 9. For the remainder of 2025, we have contractual obligations and commitments of $923 million for supplies and consumables. In addition, we have $267 million in interest payments and other amounts as detailed in the table on page 36. We expect to fund these commitments through operating cash flow, which is our primary source of liquidity, as well as our existing cash balances as necessary. As previously disclosed, we have authorized a share buyback program, where we may purchase up to $1 billion of Barrick shares. As at March 31, 2025, we have purchased $143 million of shares under this program.

We also have a performance dividend policy that enhances shareholder returns when the Company's liquidity is strong. In addition to our base dividend, the amount of the performance dividend on a quarterly basis will be based on the amount of cash, net of debt, on our balance sheet at the end of each quarter as per the schedule below.

Performance Dividend Level	Threshold Level	Quarterly Base Dividend	Quarterly Performance Dividend	Quarterly Total Dividend

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The declaration and payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the company's financial results, cash requirements, future prospects, the number of outstanding common shares, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

Our operating cash flow is dependent on the ability of our operations to deliver projected future cash flows. The market price of gold and to a lesser extent, copper, are the primary drivers of our operating cash flow. Other options to enhance liquidity include portfolio optimization; issuance of equity or long-term debt securities in the public markets or to private investors (Moody's and S&P currently rate Barrick's outstanding long-term debt as investment grade, with ratings of A3 and BBB+, respectively); and drawing on the $3.0 billion available under our undrawn Credit Facility (subject to compliance with covenants and the making of certain representations and warranties, this facility is available for drawdown as a source of financing). The revolving Credit Facility incorporates sustainability-linked metrics and are made up of annual environmental and social performance targets directly influenced by Barrick's actions, rather than based on external ratings. The performance targets include Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity, water use efficiency (reuse and recycling rates), and TRIFR³. Barrick may incur positive or negative pricing adjustments on drawn credit spreads and standby fees based on its sustainability performance versus the targets that have been set. The key financial covenant in our undrawn Credit Facility requires Barrick to maintain a net debt to total capitalization ratio of less than 0.60:1. Barrick's net debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.02:1 as at March 31, 2025 (0.02:1 as at December 31, 2024).

ᵃ The difference between the net change in debt on a cash basis and the net change on the balance sheet is due to changes in non-cash charges, specifically the unwinding of discounts and amortization of debt issue costs.
ᵇ For Q1 2025, we declared and paid dividends per share in US dollars totaling $0.10 (Q4 2024: declared and paid $0.10; Q1 2024: declared and paid $0.10).

Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024

Cash outflows from investing activities in Q1 2025 were $739 million, compared to $778 million in Q4 2024. The decreased outflow of $39 million was primarily due to lower project capital expenditures¹ mainly at Lumwana as a substantial amount of down payments were made on long lead items in Q4 2024, partially offset by increased minesite sustaining capital expenditures¹, mainly at Carlin resulting from higher capitalized stripping. Investing cash flow was further impacted by higher shareholder loan repayments made by equity method investments (in particular Kibali), partially offset by lower cash dividends received from equity method investments, primarily Kibali.

Net financing cash outflows for Q1 2025 amounted to $439 million, compared to $762 million in Q4 2024. The decrease of $323 million is primarily due to lower repurchases of shares under our share buyback program compared to Q4 2024, combined with lower net disbursements paid to non-controlling interests, primarily to Newmont in relation to their interest in NGM.

Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024

Cash outflows from investing activities in Q1 2025 were $739 million compared to $680 million in Q1 2024. The increase of $59 million was primarily due to higher capital expenditures driven by increased project capital expenditures¹, mainly related to costs being capitalized at Reko Diq as the feasibility study was completed in Q4 2024. The increase in cash outflows from investing activities was partially offset by the funding made to Porgera in Q1 2024.

Net financing cash outflows for Q1 2025 amounted to $439 million compared to $284 million in Q1 2024. The increase of $155 million is primarily due to the repurchase of shares under our share buyback program in Q1 2025.

Our recent financial results reflect our emphasis on cost discipline, an agile management structure that empowers our site based leadership teams and a portfolio of Tier One Gold Assets. This, combined with ongoing strength in gold and copper prices, has resulted in strong operating cash flows over the past several quarters. The positive operating cash flow generated has allowed us to continue to reinvest in our business including our key growth projects, maintain a strong balance sheet and increase returns to shareholders.

In addition to the strength in metal prices, net earnings has also been impacted by the following items in each quarter, which have been excluded from adjusted net earnings¹. In Q4 2024, we recorded non-current asset impairment reversals of $655 million at Lumwana and $437 million at Veladero. In addition, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $484 million related to Loulo-Gounkoto. In Q2 2024, we recorded a provision following the proposed settlement of the Zaldívar Tax Assessments in Chile (refer to note 16 of the Financial Statements). In Q4 2023, we recorded a gain of $352 million as the conditions for the reopening of the Porgera mine were completed on December 22, 2023. In addition, we recorded a long-lived asset impairment of $280 million at Long Canyon.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as defined in our 2024 annual MD&A.

Together, the internal control frameworks provide internal control over financial reporting and disclosure. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, the effectiveness of internal control is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may change.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, management will continue to monitor and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and may make modifications from time to time as considered necessary.

IFRS Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

Management has discussed the development and selection of our critical accounting estimates with the Audit & Risk Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Audit & Risk Committee has reviewed the disclosure relating to such estimates in conjunction with its review of this MD&A. The accounting policies and methods we utilize determine how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they may require management to make estimates or rely on assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Our material accounting policies are disclosed in note 2 of the Financial Statements, including a summary of current and future changes in accounting policies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share

Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure which 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. Furthermore, foreign currency translation gains/losses are not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the reporting periods presented. The tax effect and non-controlling interest of the adjusting items are also excluded to reconcile the amounts to Barrick's share on a post-tax basis, consistent with net earnings.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Certain accounting estimates have been identified as being "critical" to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations because they require us to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain; or there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions and estimates. Our significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are disclosed in note 3 of the accompanying Financial Statements.

As noted, we use this measure for internal purposes. Management's internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the types of items we adjust for. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables investors and analysts to better understand the underlying operating performance of our core mining business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business segments and a review of the non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts and other mining companies.

Adjusted net earnings 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 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.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash.

Free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Capital Expenditures

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 AISC/oz.

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 measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Total cash costs per ounce, All-in sustaining costs per ounce, C1 cash costs per pound and All-in sustaining costs per pound

TCC/oz and AISC/oz are non-GAAP financial measures which are calculated based on the definition published by the WGC (a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by gold mining companies from around the world, including Barrick. 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.

TCC start with our cost of sales related to gold production and removes depreciation, the non-controlling interest of cost of sales and includes by-product credits. AISC start with TCC 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.

We believe that our use of TCC and AISC 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. Due to the capital-intensive nature of the industry and the long useful lives over which these items are depreciated, there can be a significant timing difference between net earnings calculated in accordance with IFRS and the amount of free cash flow that is being generated by a mine and therefore we believe these measures are useful non-GAAP operating metrics and supplement our IFRS disclosures. These measures are not representative of all of our cash expenditures as they do not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments. These measures do not include depreciation or amortization.

TCC/oz and AISC/oz 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.

In addition to presenting these metrics on a by-product basis, we have calculated these metrics on a co-product basis. Our co-product metrics remove the impact of other metal sales that are produced as a by-product of our gold production from cost per ounce calculations but does not reflect a reduction in costs for costs associated with other metal sales.

C1 cash costs/lb and AISC/lb are non-GAAP financial measures related to our copper mine operations. We believe that C1 cash costs/lb 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/lb excludes royalties and non-routine charges as they are not direct production costs. AISC/lb is similar to the gold AISC 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. AISC/lb 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 write-downs taken on inventory to net realizable value.

a. Non-recurring items - These costs are not indicative of our cost of production and have been excluded from the calculation of TCC.
b. Other - Other adjustments mainly relate to treatment and refinement charges.
c. Non-controlling interests - Non-controlling interests include non-controlling interests related to gold production of $487 million for Q1 2025 (Q4 2024: $559 million; Q1 2024: $542 million). Non-controlling interests include NGM, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Tongon, North Mara and Bulyanhulu. Refer to Note 5 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 32 of this MD&A.
e. Capital expenditures - Capital expenditures are related to our gold sites only and are split between minesite sustaining and project capital expenditures.
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. The impact is summarized as the following:

h. Ounces sold - attributable basis - Excludes Long Canyon which is producing residual ounces from the leach pad while in care and maintenance.
i. COS/oz - Gold COS/oz is calculated as cost of sales across our gold operations (excluding sites in closure or care and maintenance) divided by ounces sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick's ownership share).
j. Per ounce figures - COS/oz, TCC/oz and AISC/oz may not calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Attributable EBITDA, Attributable EBITDA Margin and Net Leverage

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. EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes whereby EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or "EBITDA multiple" that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company.

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 income tax expense, finance costs, finance income and depreciation incurred in our equity method accounted investments. Attributable EBITDA further removes the non-controlling interest portion. 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 attributable 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 do not necessarily reflect the underlying operating results for the periods presented. Additionally, it 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.

Net leverage 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.

c. For Q1 2025, other expense adjustments mainly relate to the signing of agreements to settle legacy legal matters in the Philippines related to Placer Dome Inc., combined with reduced operations costs at Loulo-Gounkoto. Other adjustments in Q4 2024 primarily relate to a payment to the Government of Mali to advance negotiations and a customs and royalty settlement at Tongon.
d. Refer to Reconciliation of Sales to Realized Price per oz/pound on page 49 of this MD&A.
e. Represents attributable EBITDA divided by revenues - as adjusted.
f. Represents debt, net of cash divided by adjusted EBITDA of the last four consecutive quarters.

Realized Price

Realized price is a non-GAAP financial 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.
