Barrick’s StrategyBarrick’s Strategy
Grow and improve the quality of production base by:– maximizing the potential of existing assetsg p g– developing high return projects– investing in exploration and selective acquisitions
Production to continue to be dominated by gold with complementary copper production
Continually improve CSR practices
By executing on this strategy, we expect to:y g gy, p– grow earnings and cash flow per share– generate appropriate risk-adjusted returns on capital– enhance shareholders’ leverage to metal prices

FootnotesFootnotes1. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted operating cash flow, return on equity, EBITDA, EBITDA per share, net cash costs per ounce, net cash margin per ounce, total cash costs per ounce, total cash
margin per ounce, total cash costs per pound and average realized price per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. See pages 55-62 of Barrick’s Third Quarter 2011 Report. Return on equity for 2007-2010 is derived from US GAAP figures; 2011 return on equity is derived from annualized IFRS figures.
2. All references to total cash costs and production are based on expected first full 5 year average, except where noted. Expected total cash costs and capital cost estimates for Pueblo Viejo, Pascua-Lama and Cerro Casale are based on $1,300/oz gold and $90/bbl oil. Pascua-Lama total cash costs and capital cost estimates are calculated based on a silver price of $25/oz and a Chilean peso f/x rate of 475:1. Cerro Casale expected total cash costs and capital cost estimates assume a copper price of $3.25/lb and a Chilean peso f/x rate of 475:1. All capital cost estimates exclude capitalized interestestimates exclude capitalized interest.
3. Barrick’s mineral reserves (“reserves”) and mineral resources (“resources”) have been calculated as at December 31, 2010 in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, Industry Guide 7, (under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934), as interpreted by Staff of the SEC, applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. Accordingly, for U.S. reporting purposes, Cerro Casale is classified as mineralized material. For a breakdown of reserves and resources by category and additional information relating to reserves and resources, see pages 24 to 34 of Barrick’s 2010 Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities.
4. Based on an open pit cutoff assumption of 0.04 opt and gold price assumption of $975/oz for determination of the open pit shell and assuming an approximate 0.04 opt cut-off grade compared to the current underground cut-off grade of about 0.25 opt. The attributes are based on the most favorable case examined in the scoping study. There are significant elements of p g g p p g y gthe case which need extensive further study and will begin to be considered in the prefeasibility stage currently in progress (e.g. all metallurgical test work, geotechnical evaluation, design of waste rock facilities). Significant optimization work will be required in prefeasibility stage to determine the most economical combination of open pit, underground mining and processing. Feasibility, permitting and construction are estimated to take approximately 8 years. Key permits and approvals needed include: Environmental Impact Statement, Plan of Operations Approval, Clean Water Act Section 404 Permitting, Mercury Control Permits, and Water Pollution Control Permit. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain whether further exploration result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
5. Barrick’s exploration programs are designed and conducted under the supervision of Robert Krcmarov, Senior Vice President, Global Exploration of Barrick. For information on the geology, exploration activities generally, and drilling and analysis procedures on Barrick’s material properties, see Barrick’s most recent Annual Information Form/Form 40-F on file with Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities and the U S Securities and Exchange Commissionprovincial securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
6. EBITDA is based on the midpoint of average annual production and average total cash costs in the first full five years of operation assuming a $1,600/oz gold price, a $30/oz silver price and a $90/bbl oil price.
7. Pueblo Viejo’s average annual EBITDA estimate is based on the midpoint of average annual production and average total cash costs in the first full five years of operation (as disclosed in February 2008 at the time of the construction decision) and using the average monthly gold price of $926/oz in February 2008.
8. Pascua-Lama’s average annual EBITDA estimate is based on the midpoint of average annual production and average total cash costs in the first full five years of operation (as disclosed in May 2009 at the time of the construction decision) and using the average monthly gold price of $930/oz and a silver price of $14/oz in May 2009.
9 The ta get of 9 M o of gold p od ction and 50 M o of sil e p od ction ithin 5 ea s and 1 0 billion po nds of coppe p od ction ithin 6 7 ea s eflects a c ent assessment of the9. The target of 9 M oz of gold production and 50 M oz of silver production within 5 years and 1.0 billion pounds of copper production within 6-7 years reflects a current assessment of the expected production and timeline to complete and commission Barrick’s projects currently in construction (Pueblo Viejo, Pascua-Lama and Jabal Sayid) and the Company’s current assessment of existing mine site opportunities, some of which are sensitive to metal price and various capital and input cost assumptions. See note 2 above for additional detail regarding certain underlying assumptions.
