PRESS RELEASE - September 11, 2006


Barrick Reaches Agreement with Gold Fields on South Deep Asset

Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX: TSX; NYSE) announced today that it has entered
into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Gold Fields Limited (GFI:
JSE; NYSE) regarding Barrick's indirectly held 50 per cent interest in the South
Deep asset and its rights under the joint venture agreement with Western Areas
Limited in the Republic of South Africa.

The consideration is comprised of US$1.525 billion of which US$1.2 billion will
be paid in cash and the balance of US$325 million in Gold Fields shares (based
on the average ADR trading price on the NYSE for the five trading days
immediately preceding the closing of the transaction).

The agreement is subject to customary conditions including the receipt of South
African regulatory approvals and is expected to close in early 2007. Western
Areas Limited, Barrick's joint venture partner in the South Deep asset, has
determined not to exercise its preemptive rights.

"This agreement brings value and makes sense for all concerned: Gold Fields has
great expertise in deep level mining and there are synergies that they can
realize in conjunction with their nearby flagship operations in South Africa,"
said Greg Wilkins, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Barrick's employees
in South Africa will remain focused on advancing the Sedibelo platinum project
and providing support and services to Barrick operations and projects in
Africa."

Gold Fields' Chief Executive Officer Ian Cockerill said: "The combination of our
plans to invest in the deepening of the Driefontein and Kloof gold mines and the
purchase of Barrick's 50 per cent interest in South Deep will create additional
value for our shareholders and secure Gold Fields' position as the premier gold
producer in South Africa for the next fifty years."

Barrick acquired its 50 per cent interest in South Deep through its US$10.0
billion acquisition of Placer Dome Inc. in January 2006. Barrick completed its
agreement with Goldcorp Inc. in May 2006 under which Goldcorp acquired four
Placer Dome mines and other agreed interests for US$1.6 billion. The rationale
for Goldcorp and the Placer Dome interests in Canada was similar to the
Barrick/Gold Fields agreement relating to synergies that could be derived from
consolidating mining interests.

Barrick's financial advisor is Rothschild and its legal advisors are Bowman
Gilfillan in South Africa and Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP in Canada.

Barrick's vision is to be the world's best gold company by finding, acquiring,
developing and producing quality reserves in a safe, profitable and socially
responsible manner. Barrick's shares are traded on the Toronto, New York,
London, Euronext-Paris and Swiss stock exchanges.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information included in this press release, including any information as
to our future financial or operating performance and other statements that
express management's expectations or estimates of future performance, constitute
"forward-looking statements." The words "expect", "will", "intend", "estimate"
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 management, are inherently subject to
significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies.
The Company cautions the reader that such forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of Barrick to be materially
different from the Company's estimated future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements and the
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. These
risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to: changes
in the worldwide price of gold or certain other commodities (such as fuel and
electricity) and currencies; legislative, political or economic developments in
the jurisdictions in which the Company carries on business, including South
Africa; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or
development activities; employee relations; the speculative nature of gold
exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or
grades of reserves; contests over title to properties, particularly title to
undeveloped properties; and the risks involved in the exploration, development
and mining business. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the
Company's most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the US
Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian provincial securities regulatory
authorities.

The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
