<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Certain information contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement, including any
information as to our future financial or operating performance,
constitutes &#147;forward-looking statements&#148;. All
statements, other than statements of historical fact, are
forward-looking statements. The words &#147;believe&#148;,
&#147;expect&#148;, &#147;anticipate&#148;,
&#147;contemplate&#148;, &#147;target&#148;, &#147;plan&#148;,
&#147;intends&#148;, &#147;continue&#148;, &#147;budget&#148;,
&#147;estimate&#148;, &#147;may&#148;, &#147;will&#148;,
&#147;schedule&#148; and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions
that, while considered reasonable by us, are inherently subject
to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties
and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not
limited to: fluctuations in the currency markets (such as the
Canadian and Australian dollars versus the U.S.&nbsp;dollar);
fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain
other commodities (such as silver, copper, diesel fuel and
electricity); changes in U.S.&nbsp;dollar interest rates or gold
lease rates that could impact the mark to market value of
outstanding derivative instruments and ongoing payments/
receipts under interest rate swaps and variable rate debt
obligations; risks arising from holding derivative instruments
(such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark to market
risk); changes in national and local government legislation,
taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic
developments in Canada, the United States, Australia, Chile,
Peru, Argentina, Tanzania, Russia or Barbados or other countries
in which we do or may carry on business in the future; business
opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, us; our
ability to successfully integrate acquisitions; operating or
technical difficulties in connection with mining or development
activities; the speculative nature of gold exploration and
development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses
and permits; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves;
adverse changes in our credit rating; and contests over title to
properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties. In
addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the
business of gold exploration, development and mining, including
environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or
unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold
bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or
inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of
these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual
results and could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements
made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance. All of the forward-looking statements made in this
prospectus supplement are qualified by these cautionary
statements. Specific reference is made to &#147;Narrative
Description of the Business&nbsp;&#151; Gold Mineral Reserves
and Mineral Resources&#148; and &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the
annual information form of Barrick dated May&nbsp;19, 2004 for
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 and to
&#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial and
Operating Results for the year ended December&nbsp;31,

some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements.

under this prospectus supplement as if such drawdown and the

categories. The assignment of a &#147;(high)&#148; or
&#147;(low)&#148; modifier within each rating category indicates
relative standing within such category. The &#147;(high)&#148;
and &#147;(low)&#148; grades are not used for the AAA category.

<FONT size="2">We understand that the ratings are based on,
among other things, information furnished to the Ratings
Agencies by us and information obtained by the Ratings Agencies
from publicly available sources. The credit ratings given to the
Notes by the Rating Agencies are not recommendations to buy,
hold or sell the Notes since such ratings do not comment as to
market price or suitability for a particular investor. There is
no assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given
period of time or that any rating will not be revised or
withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if, in its
judgment, circumstances so warrant and if any such rating is so
revised or withdrawn, we are under no obligation to update this
prospectus supplement.

<I><FONT size="2">Before making an investment decision,
investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties
described below and under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148;
in Barrick&#146;s Annual Information Form for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003, dated May&nbsp;19, 2004 and incorporated
by reference herein. These risks and uncertainties are not the
only ones facing Barrick. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may
also impair our business operations. If any such risks actually
occur, our business, financial condition and operating results
could be materially harmed.</FONT></I>

Barrick&#146;s Subsidiaries</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Barrick conducts a substantial portion of its
operations through subsidiaries. The 2034 Notes issued by
Barrick and Barrick&#146;s guarantees of the 2034 Notes and 2014
Notes issued by BGFC will be obligations exclusively of Barrick.
Barrick&#146;s subsidiaries will not guarantee or otherwise be
responsible for the payment of principal or interest or other
payments required to be made by Barrick on the 2034 Notes issued
by it or under its guarantees of the 2034 Notes and 2014 Notes
issued by BGFC. Accordingly, the 2034 Notes issued by Barrick
and Barrick&#146;s guarantees of the 2034 Notes and 2014 Notes
issued by BGFC will effectively be subordinated to all existing
and future liabilities (including trade payables and
indebtedness) of such subsidiaries (except to the extent that
BGFC is responsible for making payments on the Notes issued by
it). In the event of an insolvency, liquidation or other
reorganization of any such subsidiaries, Barrick&#146;s
creditors (including the holders of the Notes issued by Barrick
and the holders of Barrick&#146;s guarantees of the Notes issued
by BGFC), will have no right to proceed against the assets of
such subsidiaries (except to the extent that holders of Notes
issued by BGFC have a right to proceed against BGFC). Creditors
of such subsidiaries would generally be entitled to payment in
full from such assets before any assets are made available for
distribution to Barrick.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Prior to this offering, there was no public
market for the Notes. Barrick and BGFC have been informed by the
underwriters that they presently intend to make a market in the
Notes after this offering is completed, as permitted by
applicable laws and regulations. The underwriters are not
obligated, however, to make a market in the Notes and any market
making may be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of
the underwriters. In addition, the liquidity of the trading
market in the Notes and the market price quoted for the Notes
may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for
debt securities and by changes in our financial performance or
prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industry
generally. As a result, you cannot be sure that an active
trading market will develop for the Notes or as to the liquidity
of any trading market that may develop.

<FONT size="2">The following is, as of the date hereof, a
general summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax
considerations generally applicable to a holder of Notes who
acquires the Notes under this prospectus supplement and who, at
all relevant times, for purposes of the <I>Income Tax Act
</I>(Canada) (the &#147;Tax Act&#148;) and any applicable income
tax treaty or convention, is not, and is not deemed to be, a
resident of Canada, deals with Barrick and BGFC at arm&#146;s
length, and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or
hold the Notes in a business carried on in Canada (a
&#147;Non-resident Holder&#148;). Special rules, which are not
discussed in this summary, may apply to a non-resident that is
an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">This summary is based on the current provisions
of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder, all specific
proposals to amend the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder
publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance
(Canada) prior to the date hereof, and the administrative
practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing
prior to the date hereof. This summary is not exhaustive of all
possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except
as mentioned above, does not anticipate any changes in law or
administrative practice whether by legislative, regulatory,
governmental, administrative or judicial decision or action, nor
does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax
considerations, which may differ significantly from those
discussed herein.

is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal
or tax advice to any particular Non-resident Holder, and no
representation with respect to the income tax consequences to
any particular Non-resident Holder is made. Consequently,
prospective purchasers of Notes should consult their own tax
advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences to them

<FONT size="2">The underwriters are offering the Notes subject
to their acceptance of the 2034 Notes from Barrick and the 2034
Notes and 2014 Notes from BGFC and subject to prior sale. The
underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the
several underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Notes
are subject to, among other things, the approval of legal
matters by their counsel and other conditions, including
conditions relating to the state of the financial markets. The
underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the Notes
if any are taken. The underwriting agreement also provides that
if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of the
non-defaulting underwriters shall be increased subject to a
maximum increased amount or, if the increase would exceed the
maximum, the purchase commitments may be terminated. The
offering price and other terms have been determined by
negotiation between the underwriters, Barrick and BGFC.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The underwriters initially propose to offer some
of the Notes directly to the public at the respective public
offering prices shown on the cover page of this prospectus
supplement and to offer some of the Notes to certain dealers at
those prices less a concession not in excess of .50% of the
principal amount in the case of the 2034 Notes issued by
Barrick, not in excess of .50% of the principal amount in the
case of the 2034 Notes issued by BGFC and not in excess of .40%
of the principal amount in the case of the 2014 Notes issued by
BGFC. The underwriters may allow, and those dealers may reallow,
a concession not in excess of .25% of the principal amount in
the case of the 2034 Notes issued by Barrick, not in excess of
..25% of the principal amount in the case of the 2034 Notes
issued by BGFC and not in excess of .25% of the principal amount
in the case of the 2014 Notes issued by BGFC on sales to other
dealers. After the underwriters have made a reasonable effort to
sell the Notes at the initial public offering price, they may
change the offering price from time to time to an amount not
greater than the initial public offering price, and may also
change the concession and reallowance from time to time. In such
an event, the compensation realized by the underwriters will be
decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by
purchasers for the Notes is less than the gross proceeds paid to
us by the underwriters.

<FONT size="2">Each of the 2034 Notes issued by Barrick, the
2034 Notes issued by BGFC and the 2014 Notes issued by BGFC is a
new issue of securities with no established trading market.
Neither Barrick nor BGFC, as applicable, intends to apply for
listing of the Notes on a national securities exchange or any
automated quotation system. However, Barrick and BGFC have been
advised by the underwriters that the underwriters presently
intend to make a market in the Notes, as permitted by applicable
laws and regulations. The underwriters are not obligated,
however, to make a market in the Notes and any market making may
be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the
underwriters. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the
liquidity of, or trading market for, the Notes.

<FONT size="2">The Notes will not be qualified for sale under
the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada and
may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Canada or
to residents of Canada except pursuant to an exemption from the
prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws. In
addition, the Notes may only be offered and sold in any province
or territory of Canada by a securities dealer appropriately
registered under the securities laws of that jurisdiction or
pursuant to an exemption from the registered dealer requirements
of such securities laws. Each underwriter has agreed that it
will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or deliver any
Notes purchased by it in Canada or to residents of Canada except
pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements of
applicable securities laws and in accordance with the dealer
registration requirements of applicable laws or pursuant to an
exemption from such requirements and that any selling agreement
or similar agreement with respect to the Notes will require each
dealer or other party thereto to make an agreement to the same
effect. The Notes offered under this prospectus supplement to
purchasers outside of Canada are being qualified under the
securities laws of the Province of Ontario.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In order to facilitate the offering of the Notes,
the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize,
maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Notes.
Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with
the offering, creating a short position in the Notes for their
own account. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to
stabilize the price of the Notes, the underwriters may bid for,
and purchase, Notes in the open market. Finally, the
underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed
to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing Notes in this
offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed
Notes in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in
stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities
may stabilize or maintain the market price of the Notes above
independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to
engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities
at any time.

INFORMATION</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Certain information contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus, including any information as to
our future financial or operating performance, constitutes
&#147;forward-looking statements&#148;. All statements, other
than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking
statements. The words &#147;believe&#148;, &#147;expect&#148;,
&#147;anticipate&#148;, &#147;contemplate&#148;,
&#147;target&#148;, &#147;plan&#148;, &#147;intends&#148;,

&#147;may&#148;, &#147;will&#148;, &#147;schedule&#148; and
similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number
of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable
by us, are inherently subject to significant business, economic
and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and
unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such
factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the
currency markets (such as the Canadian and Australian dollars
versus the U.S. dollar); fluctuations in the spot and forward
price of gold or certain other commodities (such as silver,
copper, diesel fuel and electricity); changes in U.S. dollar
interest rates or gold lease rates that could impact the mark to
market value of outstanding derivative instruments and ongoing
payments/receipts under interest rate swaps and variable rate
debt obligations; risks arising from holding derivative
instruments (such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark
to market risk); changes in national and local government
legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or
economic developments in Canada, the United States, Australia,
Chile, Peru, Argentina, Tanzania, Russia or Barbados or other
countries in which we do or may carry on business in the future;
business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by,
us; ability to successfully integrate acquisitions; operating or
technical difficulties in connection with mining or development
activities; the speculative nature of gold exploration and
development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses
and permits; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves;
adverse changes in our credit rating; and contests over title to
properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties. In
addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the
business of gold exploration, development and mining, including
environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or
unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold
bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or
inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of
these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual
results and could cause its actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned
that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance. All of the forward-looking statements made in this
prospectus are qualified by these cautionary statements.

Barrick entered the gold mining industry in 1983 and is one of
the largest gold mining companies in the world. Barrick has
operating mines and development projects in the United States,

5.51&nbsp;million ounces of gold in 2003 at total cash costs of
$189 per ounce and Barrick expects to produce between 4.9 and
5.0&nbsp;million ounces of gold in 2004. &#147;Total cash costs
per ounce&#148; is a non-GAAP performance measure. For an
explanation of Barrick&#146;s use of this measure, including a
reconciliation of &#147;total cash costs per ounce&#148; to
total cash production costs, see the discussion under the

Ontario corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Barrick. On December&nbsp;14, 2001, Homestake Merger Co., a U.S.
subsidiary of Barrick, merged with Homestake Mining Company. In
connection with the merger, the exchangeable shares previously
issued to the public by BGI (the &#147;Exchangeable
Shares&#148;) remained outstanding but each such Exchangeable
Share became exchangeable for 0.53 of a Barrick common share,
rather than for one share of Homestake Mining Company common
stock. All of BGI&#146;s outstanding shares, other than its
Exchangeable Shares held by the public, are held by Barrick and
its affiliates, including BGFC. Each Exchangeable Share provides
the holder thereof with the economic and voting equivalent, to
the extent practicable, of 0.53 of a Barrick common share. BGI
will not make available publicly or to its securityholders
annual or other reports or other separate continuous disclosure
information, other than a summary of BGI&#146;s selected annual
comparative financial information included in the notes to
Barrick&#146;s annual audited financial statements.

<FONT size="2">Barrick reports total cash costs per ounce data
because it understands that certain investors use this
information to assess Barrick&#146;s performance. The inclusion
of total cash costs per ounce statistics enables investors to
better understand year-on-year changes in production costs,
which in turn affect Barrick&#146;s profitability and its
ability to generate operating cash flow for use in investing and
other activities. Barrick reports total cash costs per ounce
data calculated in accordance with The Gold Institute Production
Cost Standard (the &#147;Standard&#148;). Adoption of the
Standard is voluntary, but Barrick understands that most senior
gold producers follow the Standard when reporting cash cost per
ounce data. The total cash cost per ounce data does not have a
meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore amounts presented
may not be comparable to data presented by gold producers who do
not follow the Standard. Total cash costs per ounce are derived
from amounts included in Barrick&#146;s statements of income and
include mine site operating costs, such as mining, processing,
administration, royalties and production taxes, but exclude
amortization, reclamation costs, financing costs, and capital,
development and exploration costs. Total cash production costs
and total cash costs per ounce (measured in accordance with
GAAP) have been presented as required by securities regulations
that govern non-GAAP measures.
