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.
