CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATIONCertain information contained or incorporated by reference in this presentation, including any information as to our strategy,projects, plans or future financial or operating performance constitutes "forward-looking statements”. All statements, otherthan statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe”, "expect", “anticipate”,“contemplate”, “target”, “plan”, “intend”, “continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “schedule” and similar expressionsidentify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates andassumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic andcompetitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially fromthose projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the spot andforward price of gold and copper or certain other commodities (such as silver, diesel fuel and electricity); changes in nationaland local government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations, expropriation or nationalization of property and political oreconomic developments in Canada, the United States and other jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry onbusiness in the future; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technicalchallenges associated with the construction of capital projects; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability on thechallenges associated with the construction of capital projects; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability on thetiming of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; adverse changes in ourcredit rating; the impact of inflation; fluctuations in the currency markets; operating or technical difficulties in connection withmining or development activities; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks ofobtaining necessary licenses and permits; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; risk ofloss due to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; changes in U.S. dollar interest rates; risks arising fromholding derivative instruments; litigation; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; ourability to successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; employee relations; availability and increased costs

i t d ith i i i t d l b d th i ti f Af i ld ti d ti d tassociated with mining inputs and labor; and the organization of our African gold operations and properties under a separatelisted company. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development andmining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, floodingand gold bullion, copper cathode or gold/copper concentrate losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or inability toobtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual results and couldcause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or onbehalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. All of theforward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is madeto the most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatoryauthorities for a discussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements.

We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of newinformation, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Footnotes

1. All-in sustaining costs per ounce (“AISC”), adjusted operating costs per ounce, C1 cash costs per pound and C3 fullyallocated cash costs per pound are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standardized definition underIFRS. See pages 44-49 of Barrick’s Third Quarter 2013 Report.

2. Actual 2014 expenditures will be dependent on several factors, including regulatory requirements.
