We continued to ramp up Pueblo Viejo, started prefeasibility work at Fourmile, and restarted the Porgera mining operation. We completed feasibility studies for Reko Diq, one of the world\u2019s largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits, and the Lumwana Expansion project, which will become one of the world\u2019s largest copper mines. Both projects will support our goal to organically grow our production volumes, particularly in copper, and as such we are proposing to change our name from Barrick Gold Corporation to Barrick Mining Corporation, to reflect the company\u2019s changing production profile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Thornton noted that despite rising metal prices, mining equities have underperformed, with Barrick no exception. \u201cWe viewed our equity as undervalued and consequently repurchased $498 million of shares in 2024 and we will continue to pursue share buybacks whenever we believe our shares are trading below their intrinsic value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cWe have an industry-leading balance sheet, substantial liquidity and a global portfolio of Tier One assets.<sup>3<\/sup> These qualities, along with our fully funded pipeline of organic growth projects, put us on track to grow the company and increase per-share returns over the long term,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Also in the Information Circular, lead director Brett Harvey says that board renewal remained a priority in 2024, enhancing Barrick\u2019s global business expertise to achieve representation that reflects the people and regions integral to its operations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cDuring the year, we conducted a rigorous and structured selection process to identify potential board candidates, and we\u2019re pleased to nominate Ben van Beurden and Pekka Vauramo for election at this year\u2019s Annual and Special Meeting. At the same time, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Christopher Coleman and Andy Quinn, who will retire from the Board,\u201d says Harvey.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Board also appointed new chairs for its key committees: Isela Costantini for the Compensation Committee; Loreta Silva for the Audit &amp; Risk Committee; and Brian Greenspun for the Environmental, Social, Governance &amp; Nominating Committees.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Barrick is pleased to host a virtual meeting format for this year\u2019s Annual and Special Meeting which shareholders may attend by way of live webcast regardless of their geographic location.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The meeting will be held <a href=\"https:\/\/meetings.lumiconnect.com\/400-995-869-810\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">meetings.lumiconnect.com\/400-995-869-810<\/a> on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. EDT.

    <br \/>Barrick\u2019s five-year indicative outlook is based on our current operating asset portfolio, sustaining projects in progress and exploration\/ mineral resource management initiatives in execution. This outlook is based on our current reserves and resources and assumes that we will continue to be able to convert resources into reserves. Additional asset optimization, further exploration growth, new project initiatives and divestitures are not included. For the company\u2019s gold and copper segments, and where applicable for a specific region, this indicative outlook is subject to change and assumes the following: new open pit production permitted and commencing at Hemlo in the second half of 2025, allowing three years for permitting and two years for prestripping prior to first ore production in 2027; Tongon will enter care and maintenance by 2027; and production from the Zald\u00edvar CuproChlor\u00ae Chloride Leach Project (Antofagasta is the operator of Zald\u00edvar). Our five-year indicative outlook excludes production from Fourmile, as well as Pierina and Golden Sunlight, both of which are currently in care and maintenance; and production from long-term greenfield optionality from Donlin, Pascua-Lama, Norte Abierto and Alturas. Barrick\u2019s fiveyear production profile in this press release also assumes an indicative gold and copper production profile for Reko Diq and an indicative copper production profile for the Lumwana Super Pit expansion, both of which are conceptual in nature. Loulo-Gounkoto has been excluded from Barrick\u2019s 2025 guidance as a result of the temporary suspension of operations. We expect to update our guidance to include Loulo-Gounkoto when we have greater certainty regarding the timing for the restart of operations. For purposes of this indicative five-year forecast only, we have assumed a scenario where Loulo-Gounkoto resumes operations on April 1, 2025. There can be no assurances that a definitive agreement to resolve the ongoing dispute with the Government of Mali will be reached by April 1, 2025 or at all.
