ITEM 4                 SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CHANGE
                       --------------------------

                       On September 26, 2002, Barrick Gold Corporation
                       ("Barrick") announced that it expects 2002 earnings per
                       share in the 33-35 cent range (excluding non-hedge
                       related adjustments) compared to earlier guidance for
                       earnings at the lower end of the 42-47 cent per share
                       range, based in both cases on a $315 spot gold price.

                       For the year, Barrick expects production to be on target
                       for 5.7 million ounces, while cash costs are expected to
                       average $178 per ounce, compared to $172 per ounce
                       previously estimated. In addition to higher cash costs,
                       Barrick expects marginally lower gold sales and higher
                       depreciation expense than previously forecast.

PRESS RELEASE - TORONTO, SEPTEMBER 26, 2002

For Immediate Release

All amounts in United States dollars


Barrick Revises 2002 Outlook

Full Year Earnings per Share Expected to be in $0.33-$0.35 range; Q3 in
$0.05-$0.06 range


     Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX: NYSE/TSE) announced today that it expects
2002 earnings per share in the 33-35 cent range (excluding non-hedge related
adjustments)(1) compared to earlier guidance for earnings at the lower end of
the 42-47 cent per share range, based in both cases on a $315 spot gold price.

     "Certain operations experienced lower than anticipated grades and recovery
rates, resulting in lower production and higher costs," said John Carrington,
Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer. "While our third quarter has been
disappointing, we expect our fourth quarter results to improve as we mine better
grades at several operations."

     Overall, for the year, production is on target for 5.7 million ounces,
while cash costs are expected to average $178 per ounce, compared to $172 per
ounce previously estimated. Cash costs are expected to average approximately
$180 per ounce in the third quarter. Despite the higher costs, the Company
expects to generate $370 million in free cash flow this year.

     "We've been working flat out to fix the mine sequencing and processing
issues at several of our mines this year," said Mr. Carrington. "We thought we
had turned the corner with a strong June, but it's clear now it's taking a
little longer than we would have liked to resolve the issues. They are
short-term, and we are resolving them."

     In addition to higher cash costs, the Company expects marginally lower gold
sales and higher depreciation expense than previously forecast.

     The Company expects third quarter earnings to be in the 5-6 cent range,
before rising to the 10-11 cent range in the fourth quarter, based on spot gold
prices averaging $315 per ounce.

     "In spite of this quarter's results, the fact remains that our operating
mines are a solid base for our growth plans," said Randall Oliphant, President
and Chief Executive Officer. The Company's existing operations are expected to
produce an average of 5.5 million ounces a year at $175 cash costs through 2006.

     Beyond that, under the growth plan announced earlier this month, Barrick
expects to develop four new mines, which are anticipated to add 2 million ounces
of production at lower costs than its existing operations.

     In addition, the Company has announced plans to bring its forward sales
position down to 12 million ounces, or 15% of current reserves - a one-third
reduction from present levels - by yearend 2003. In line with that plan, the
Company expects to reduce its forward sales position to 16.9 million ounces from
17.9 million ounces, and its variable price sales and call option contract
position from 3.1 million ounces to 2.2 million ounces, by the end of the third
quarter this year.

     Barrick is a leading international gold producer with the industry's only
A-rated balance sheet, a portfolio of long-life, low-cost operations on four
continents and proven and probable reserves of 82.3 million ounces of gold.
Barrick's shares are traded under the ticker symbol ABX on the Toronto, New
York, London and Swiss Stock Exchanges and the Paris Bourse.
