</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>We note disclosure throughout your filing that you no longer have Corporate Gold Sales Contracts
outstanding as of December&nbsp;31, 2007; however, you hold Project Gold Sales Contracts totaling
approximately 9.5&nbsp;million ounces of future gold production. Your disclosure on page 98 discuses the
terms of those contracts and includes the mark-to-market value of a $4.6&nbsp;billion loss as of
December&nbsp;31, 2007. However, your disclosure does not address how these contracts are accounted for
in your financial statements as of and during the fiscal years presented. Your previously filed
Form&nbsp;40-F for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 states that the gold sales contracts met the
provisions on paragraph 10(b) of SFAS 133, and therefore are not required to be accounted for as
derivatives. Please tell us if you have continued to account for these contracts in a similar
manner.</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9pt"><I>Response:</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;Barrick has continued to account for its Project Gold Sales Contracts in a similar
manner. Pursuant to note 5 to the 2007 consolidated financial statements: &#147;We record revenue from
gold and silver bullion sales at the time of physical delivery, which is also the date that title
to the gold or silver passes. The sales price is fixed at the delivery date based on either the
terms of the gold sales contracts or the gold spot price.&#148; Barrick also provides a description of
how these contracts are accounted for on page 60 of the 2007 MD&#038;A as follows: &#147;Project Gold Sales
Contracts are not recorded on our balance sheet. The economic impact of these contracts is
reflected in our Financial Statements within gold sales based on selling prices under the contracts
at the time we record revenue from the physical delivery of gold and silver under the contracts.&#148;
Further, in response to the comments made by the Staff of the Commission, Barrick will include, in
its Form 40-F for 2008, a statement that its Project Gold Sales Contracts meet the provisions of
paragraph 10(b) and therefore are not required to be accounted for as derivatives.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9pt"><B>In this regard, we also note that you have the right to net settle these contracts at any point. In
your response, please address if you have historically net settled your Corporate or Project Gold
Sales Contracts and how this ability to net settle does not cause these contracts to no longer be
eligible for the normal purchases and normal sales exclusion from SFAS 133 during the fiscal years
presented.</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9pt">Barrick has historically settled all Corporate and Project Gold Sales Contracts by physical
delivery of gold produced at its mines. Furthermore, Barrick&#146;s intention is that the Project Gold
Sales Contracts will be settled through physical delivery of gold from future production at its
mines. While Barrick&#146;s intention is to physically deliver into the Project Gold Sales Contracts,
the terms of the contracts allow for net settlement. A contractual clause allowing for net
settlement is standard in all forward sales contracts, such as the Project Gold Sales Contracts,
and is based on protocols established by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
The inclusion of this standard net settlement clause does not preclude these contracts from</DIV>
