MINING FOR A NEW WORLD Delivering the future Annual Report 2020 is a business, and like any Mining commercial enterprise it has to change with the times if it is to survive, let alone prosper. In recent years, the world has changed fundamentally, with paradigms shifting almost beyond recognition. Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we communicate, make decisions and execute them. Growing concerns about climate change as well as race and gender inequality are driving thousands of protesters into the streets. Governments have responded to their demands through legislation; major funds have made the newly minted metric, ESG, a prime investment criterion. Barrick has not needed to respond hastily to changing values and expectations. Social responsibility, protection of the environment, partnership with its host countries, care for its employees and concern for human rights have always been core components of its overall strategy, which is to be the world’s most valued gold company, in every sense of the word ‘valued’. That is why Barrick is not only an industry leader in technological innovation but is setting the pace for mining’s cultural alignment with the modern world. 1 2020 highlights 26 Mining for a better world 2 Key performance indicators 34 Our regions and operations 4 Corporate profile 40 Reserves and resources 6 Our global business 42 Exploration 8 Our Tier One assets 47 Endnotes 10 Letter from the Executive Chairman 48 Financial report 12 Board of directors 14 Message from the President and CEO 18 Executive committee CONTENTS 20 Financial review 22 Gold market overview 24 A new generation of leaders Barrick Gold Corporation NYSE : GOLD • TSX : ABX Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in US dollars. www.barrick.com 2020 STRATEGY DRIVES DELIVERY 2020 HIGHLIGHTS1 GROUP GOLD NET EARNINGS DEBT, NET OF CASH PRODUCTION $2,324 101% $ 4.8 MOZ MILLION ($33) MILLION Barrick back Q4/19 Combination Covid-19 Q1/20 Disinvestment Nevada Gold Q2/20 Underground Loulo- Q3/20 Zero debt, net in business dividend of Barrick’s support dividend in non-core Mines (NGM) dividend mining Gounkoto dividend of cash from in Tanzania; increased 40% Massawa program for of 7 cents interests exceeds all increased 14% resumed at pioneers first increased $13.4bn in DIVIDEND PER SHARE2 ADJUSTED NET NET CASH PROVIDED BY 2013 settles all to 7 cents per project with host countries per share continues expectations to 8 cents per Bulyanhulu solar power 12.5% to EARNINGS PER SHAREi OPERATING ACTIVITIES legacy share1 Teranga’s launched declared as Barrick in first year share1 project in the 9 cents per Operating disputes Sabodala focuses on Africa and share1 cash flow of Gold reserves Shipping First $100m i Sale of % project Tier One Middle East $5.4bn, record increased at of gold tranche Morila stake Barrick retains completed assets region annual free % % higher grades concentrate of $300m announced in its listing in the i 65 cash flow of compared to Covid-19 stockpiled settlement line with focus Barrick sells prestigious $3.4bn 125 91 the previous response from paid to the on Tier One interests in Dow Jones TO $0.33 year plans Bulyanhulu Government assets Eskay Creek Sustainability Q4/20 $1.15 $5,417 MILLION activated at and Buzwagi of Tanzania World Index dividend Achieved Twiga pays all sites resumes for the 13th of 9 cents Kibali $1.5bn target in maiden per share consecutive i Barrick commissions non-core asset dividend of declared, up FREE CASH FLOW ENVIRONMENTAL NYSE SHARE PRICE year challenges new battery sale proceeds $250m 3x since the INCIDENTS non-extension technology to Randgold Pueblo Viejo Barrick sells of Porgera further offset merger plant interests in % % special mining the need announce- expansion Bullfrog lease for diesel ment 23 receives 197 generators $750m Environmental ZERO proposed $3,363 MILLION i Impact return of CLASS 1 Assessment capital to approval shareholders 1 Compared to 2019 unless otherwise noted. 2 Declared in respect of the 2020 fiscal year compared to the 2019 fiscal year.

    Proyecto Megaminero PASCUA LAMA: El Agua Como Origen De La Vida

    Proyecto Megaminero PASCUA LAMA: El agua como origen de la vida. “El agua es el elemento y principio de las cosas” Tales de Mileto (624 AC-546 AC. Filósofo y matemático griego) Alexis E. Aranciva Reg. 16547 DNI 31728810 “Cátedra Virtual para la Integración Latinoamericana” Introducción Se intentará elaborar un informe que aborde las características del proyecto binacional de explotación minera denominado “Pascua Lama” y sus consecuencias para la calidad de vida de los pobladores a un lado y otro de la Cordillera de Los Andes. El principal recurso afectado por y para la explotación minera es el agua, puesto que la minería demanda enormes cantidades de agua, y contamina las cuencas hídricas con metales pesados y sustancias químicas como el cianuro, entre otros. Considerando que el agua es el origen de todo tipo de vida en nuestro planeta y que es considerado un recurso escaso, lo que se intentará demostrar en este trabajo es la inviabilidad de los explotación minera a cielo abierto, que requiere grandes cantidades de este recurso tan valioso para el desarrollo y la supervivencia del ser humano como tal. Fundamentación Minería y Contaminación: Daño a los Ecosistemas La minería es una industria altamente contaminante, afecta de manera directa al agua, suelo y aire, lo que se traduce con el tiempo en efectos sobre las personas, animales, plantas etc. es decir afectan a los ecosistemas con las implicaciones ambientales de la actividad minera. La pregunta es ¿Cómo la minería genera contaminación? y ¿Cuáles son los efectos adversos asociados a la actividad minera? La actividad minera contamina, en primer lugar el agua, ya que para poder separar los metales de la roca necesita utilizar agua en grandes cantidades, agua que luego del proceso productivo se encuentra contaminada con elementos como cianuro y metales pesados tales como cadmio, cobre, arsénico, plomo, mercurio, hierro etc.

  • Abuse by Barrick Gold Corporation Barrick's Porgera Gold Mine

    Abuse by Barrick Gold Corporation Barrick's Porgera Gold Mine

    FACTSHEET: Abuse by Barrick Gold Corporation Representing survivors of gang rape and those killed by Barrick Gold Corporation’s security guards at the Porgera gold mine in Papua New Guinea Canadian mining company Barrick Gold Corporation, the largest gold mining company in the world, operates the Porgera mine in Papua New Guinea (PNG), where security guards have raped and gang-raped hundreds of local women and girls and killed several local men. EarthRights International (ERI) represents a number of survivors of rape and family members whose relatives were killed by Barrick security guards. Barrick’s Porgera Gold Mine Barrick has owned and operated the Porgera gold mine since 2006, when it acquired the previous owner, Placer Dome. Barrick also acquired a legacy of environmental damage and human rights abuses that it has failed to remedy. Each day, Barrick dumps more than 16,000 tons of waste into the Porgera River and local creeks that villagers have long relied upon for drinking water, bathing, and washing clothes and food. The mine’s ever-expanding waste dumps continue to take over the land and bury the homes of the original landowners that have lived in the region for generations, long before large-scale mining came to Porgera. Surrounded on all sides, villagers have no choice but to cross the dangerous dumps to reach agricultural land, commercial areas, schools or other villages. Many have not been compensated for the loss of their land and their homes, and Barrick has refused to relocate them. Without land to farm and sources of clean water, practically the only means of income available to some of the local indigenous communities is to scavenge for remnants of gold in the open pit or the treacherous waste dumps.

Around the world, large-scale metals mining takes an enormous toll on the health of the environment and communities. Gold mining, in particular, is one of the dirtiest industries in the world. Massive open-pit mines, some measuring as much as two miles (3.2 kilometers) across, generate staggering quantities of waste—an average of 76 tons for every ounce of gold.1 In the US, metals mining is the leading contributor of toxic emissions to the environment.2 And in countries such as Ghana, Romania, and the Philippines, mining has also been associated with human rights violations, the displacement of people from their homes, and the disruption of traditional livelihoods.
