Since the merger with Randgold in 2019, Barrick has returned $6.7 billion to shareholders and reduced net debt by $4 billion. Most recently, the Company delivered solid Q2 operating performance, strong cash flows, an enhanced quarterly dividend and strong share price performance.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">John Thornton, Chairman of the Board, said: \u201cOn behalf of the Board, I want to thank Mark for his leadership of Barrick. During his tenure, Mark strengthened our portfolio and helped position Barrick as a leading global producer of gold and copper. As a result, the Company is well-positioned for the next phase of our growth and value creation for all shareholders. We wish Mark the very best for his future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cWe are delighted to welcome Mark Hill as Group COO and Interim President and CEO. His caliber, experience and deep knowledge of the Company will ensure we maintain momentum. The Board is committed to both finding the right leader to fully capitalize on Barrick\u2019s world-class assets and capabilities, and to driving improved performance, growth and shareholder value,\u201d added Mr. Thornton.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company continues to perform in line with our Full Year expectations as set out at Q2 results on August 11, 2025.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Barrick Mining Corporation<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Barrick is a leading global mining, exploration and development company.
