6 Mineral Reserves and Resources Notes 1. Mineral reserves ( reserves ) and mineral resources ( resources ) have been calculated as at December 31, 2013 in accordance with National Instrument 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. In addition, while the terms measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources are required pursuant to National Instrument , the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and mineral resource information contained herein is not comparable to similar information regarding mineral reserves disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. U.S. investors should understand that inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In addition, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of Barrick's mineral resources constitute or will be converted into reserves. Calculations have been prepared by employees of Barrick, its joint venture partners or its joint venture operating companies, as applicable, under the supervision of Rick Sims, Senior Director, Resources and Reserves, of Barrick, Steven Haggarty, Senior Director, Metallurgy, of Barrick and Patrick Garretson, Director, LOM Planning, of Barrick. Except as noted below, reserves have been calculated using an assumed long-term average gold price of $US 1,100 per ounce, a silver price of $US per ounce, a copper price of $US 3.00 per pound and exchange rates of 1.05 $Can/$US and 0.90 $US/$Aus. Reserves at Round Mountain have been calculated using an assumed long-term average gold price of $US 1,200. Reserves at Marigold, Kalgoorlie, Bulyanhulu, North Mara and Buzwagi have been calculated using an assumed long-term average gold price of $US 1,300. Reserve calculations incorporate current and/or expected mine plans and cost levels at each property. Varying cut-off grades have been used depending on the mine and type of ore contained in the reserves. Barrick s normal data verification procedures have been employed in connection with the calculations. Resources as at December 31, 2013 have been estimated using varying cut-off grades, depending on both the type of mine or project, its maturity and ore types at each property. For a breakdown of reserves and resources by category and for a more detailed description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used in calculating Barrick s reserves and resources, 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 Commission. 2. The Company placed the Pierina mine into closure in Consequently, the Company removed the estimate of reserves and resources associated with the Pierina mine from its statement of reserves and resources for On September 30, 2013, the Company divested the Darlot, Granny Smith and Lawlers mines. For additional information regarding this matter, see page 19 of Barrick s Year-End Report African Barrick Gold decided to close the Tulawaka mine in Consequently, the Company removed the estimate of reserves and resources associated with the Tulawaka mine from its statement of reserves and resources for
