 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Barrick&#146;s Gold Hedges consist of 3.0&nbsp;million ounces of fixed price contracts where Barrick does
not participate in gold price movements. These Gold Hedges had a negative MTM position of US$1.9 billion as of September&nbsp;7, 2009. Under the terms of the Gold Hedges, Barrick could purchase gold in the open market or deliver physical gold into
these contracts in order to terminate them. Within the next 12 months, Barrick expects that, on an opportunistic basis, it will purchase these ounces in the open market and/or deliver gold from its own production in a manner which will seek to
minimize the cost of settlement. These ounces will then be delivered against the Gold Hedges in order to terminate them. The cost of eliminating a Gold Hedge is approximately equal to the MTM position of that contract at the time of its elimination.
A US$10 per ounce increase or decrease in the spot price of gold will result in an increase or decrease in the MTM position of US$30 million on the 3.0&nbsp;million ounces of Gold Hedges. In addition, the MTM position is also impacted by changes in
US dollar interest and gold lease rates but such impact is not material when compared to the impact of the change in the gold price. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In
addition, Barrick has 6.5&nbsp;million ounces of Floating Contracts which fully participate in gold price movements. Accordingly, the US$3.7 billion negative MTM position (as of September 7, 2009) of the Floating Contracts does not change with gold
prices. The obligation under the Floating Contracts is economically similar to a fixed US dollar obligation. No activity in the gold market is required to settle the Floating Contracts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"
ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The remaining balance of the Floating Contracts (after application of the net proceeds of the bought deal offering not applied to eliminate the Gold Hedges) with a MTM position of negative US$1.7
billion (as of September&nbsp;7, 2009) will be compared to alternative sources of debt financing and is expected to be repaid or refinanced to the extent that more attractive sources of debt capital are available. The Floating Contracts are non-
amortizing and primarily have 10-year terms with a current weighted average financing charge of approximately 5%. The MTM position of the Floating Contracts is impacted by changes in US dollar interest rates but such impact is not material when
compared to the impact of the change in the gold price on the Gold Hedges. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To date, the Gold Sales Contracts have been accounted for as
&#147;normal sales&#148; under US&nbsp;GAAP, wherein the impact is recorded in Barrick&#146;s financial statements as revenue on delivery of gold production under the contracts at the contracted price. Contracts were not recorded as assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet prior to delivery and the MTM position has been regularly disclosed on a quarterly basis in Barrick&#146;s Management Discussion and Analysis. In light of Barrick&#146;s decision to eliminate the contracts, the
current negative MTM position of US$5.6 billion (as of September&nbsp;7, 2009) will be recorded on the balance sheet as a liability with a corresponding charge to earnings in the third quarter of 2009. Until elimination, any changes in the MTM from
quarter to quarter will be recorded in Barrick&#146;s income statement. The MTM liability will be extinguished as the contracts are eliminated, and all settlements will flow through operating cash flow. Settlements are expected to occur subsequent
to the end of the third quarter of 2009. </FONT></P>

ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Certain information contained in this Material Change Report, including any information as to Barrick&#146;s strategy, projects, plans or future financial or operating performance and other
statements that express management&#146;s expectations or estimates of future performance, constitute &#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;will&#148;, &#147;anticipate&#148;, &#147;contemplate&#148;, &#147;target&#148;, &#147;plan&#148;, &#147;continue&#146;, &#147;budget&#148;, &#147;may&#148;, &#147;intend&#148;, &#147;estimate&#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 management, are inherently subject to significant business,
economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Barrick cautions the reader that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual financial results, performance or
achievements of Barrick to be materially different from Barrick&#146;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: the impact of global liquidity and credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash
flows; changes in the worldwide price of gold, copper or certain other commodities (such as silver, fuel and electricity); fluctuations in currency markets; changes in U.S. dollar interest rates or gold lease rates; risks arising from holding
derivative instruments; ability to successfully complete announced transactions and integrate acquired assets; legislative, political or economic developments in the jurisdictions in which Barrick carries on business; operating or technical
difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations; availability and costs associated with mining inputs and labor; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary
licenses and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; changes in costs and estimates associated with our projects; adverse changes in our credit rating, level of indebtedness and liquidity, contests over title to properties,
particularly title to undeveloped properties; the risks involved in the exploration, development and mining business. Certain of these factors are discussed in greater detail in Barrick&#146;s most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities. Barrick 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>
