Exceptional Gold Leverage Positive outlook for gold Exceptional leverage to the gold price largest production and reserves Strong track record of reserve replacement Advanced projects on schedule lower cost production Financial strength 33 Footnotes 1. Calculated 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 Exchange Act of 1934), as interpreted by the 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 and approximately 600,000 ounces of reserves for Pueblo Viejo (Barrick s 60% interest) are classified as mineralized material. In addition, while the terms measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources are required pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements from 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. 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, investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of Barrick s mineral resources constitute or will be converted into reserves. For a breakdown of reserves and resources by category and additional information relating to reserves and resources, see pages 21 to 31 of Barrick s 2008 Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities. 2. Net cash costs per ounce, total cash costs per ounce, EBITDA, adjusted net income and realized price are non-gaap financial measures. See pages 28-32 of Barrick s First Quarter 2009 Report. 3. Pascua-Lama total cash costs per ounce are calculated net of silver credits assuming a silver price of $12/oz and a gold price of $800/oz. 4. Cash margins are based on mid-point of 2009 cash cost guidance reported by the companies on a full credit for non-gold sales basis or by-product basis. Newmont s cash cost range was calculated on an equity basis and net of copper credits from Batu Hijau (assumed copper spot price of $1.50/lb for 2009) based on the mid-point of Company 2009 guidance for equity sales and cash costs for gold and copper. Note: cash flow calculation does not include general and administration costs, exploration and other working capital requirements. 5. Assuming the satisfactory resolution of pending litigation regarding the Cortez Hills project. In Q4 2008, a number of opponents of the Cortez Hills expansion filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada seeking to overturn the Bureau of Land Management s approval of the Cortez Hills project on environmental and religious grounds. The plaintiffs unsuccessfully sought to enjoin construction of the project pending consideration of their claims. The District Court s denial of the requested injunction is currently being appealed. First production for Cortez Hills of ~1 Moz includes the existing Cortez operation and is based on average production for first full 5 years. 6. ~2.6 M oz of production is based on the estimated cumulative average annual production in the first full five years once all are at full capacity. Low cost ounces refers to total cash costs per ounce. 7. Expected cash costs for Buzwagi, Cortez Hills and Pueblo Viejo are based on $75/bbl oil and average for first full 5 years of production. Cortez Hills cash cost estimates include existing Cortez operation. All budget references refer to pre-production budgets on a 100% basis and exclude capitalized interest. Pueblo Viejo pre-production capital of $2.7B (100% basis) is to be followed by $0.3B to complete phased expansion to 24,000 tpd. Pascua- Lama pre-production capital assumes Chilean peso f/x rate of 550:1; Argentine peso f/x rate of 3.7:1; and an oil price of $75/bbl. 8. Pueblo Viejo expected production of 600-650 koz is based on average for first full 5 yrs at 60% (1 Moz/yr at 100%) following phased expansion to 34 24,000 tpd.
