projects, plans or future financial or operating performance and other statements that express our 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&#148;, &#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
us, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. We caution the reader that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
our actual financial results, performance or achievements to be materially different from our 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; the ability to successfully complete announced transactions and integrate acquired assets; legislative, political or economic developments in the jurisdictions in which we carry on business; operating or
technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations; availability and costs associated with mining inputs and labour; 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; and the risks involved in the exploration, development and mining business. All of the forward-looking statements made in this short form prospectus are qualified by these cautionary
statements. Specific reference is made to &#147;Narrative Description of the Business &#150; Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources&#148; and &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the Annual Information Form (as defined below) and to the Annual
Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis and the Interim Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis (each as defined below), each of which is incorporated by reference herein, and to the section &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in this short form
prospectus, for a discussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements. 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="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><A NAME="rom94590_3"></A>NOTICE REGARDING PRESENTATION </B></FONT></P> <P

regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, Industry Guide 7 (under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;<B>Exchange Act</B>&#148;)), as interpreted by the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the &#147;<B>SEC</B>&#148;), applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. For U.S. reporting purposes, as at December&nbsp;31, 2008, the mineralization at Cerro Casale was classified as mineralized
material and approximately 600,000 ounces of mineralization at Pueblo Viejo (Barrick&#146;s 60% interest) classified as reserves under NI 43-101 were classified as mineralized material. In addition, while the terms &#147;measured&#148;,
&#147;indicated&#148; and &#147;inferred&#148; mineral resources are required pursuant to NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, and mineral resource information
contained herein and in the documents incorporated herein by reference is not comparable to similar information regarding mineral reserves disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the SEC. Investors should understand that
&#147;inferred&#148; mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In addition, investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of our mineral
resources constitute or will be converted into reserves. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Barrick is a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. A majority of our assets are located outside of the
United States. In addition, some of our directors and officers and most of the experts named in this short form prospectus are resident outside the United States, and a majority of their assets are located outside of the United States. As a result,
it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon those directors, officers or experts who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts
of the United States predicated upon civil liability of such directors, officers or experts under United States federal securities laws. We have been advised by Davies Ward Phillips&nbsp;&amp; Vineberg LLP, our Canadian counsel, that a judgment of a
U.S. court predicated solely upon civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws would probably be enforceable in Ontario if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that was
recognized by an Ontario court for such purposes. We have also been advised by such counsel, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Ontario in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely
upon United States federal securities laws. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have filed with the SEC, concurrently with the filing of the registration

investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC and any civil suit or action brought against or involving us in a United States court arising out of or related to or concerning this Offering. </FONT></P> <P

public announcements made by us and our failure to meet analysts&#146; expectations. In addition, the market price and trading volume of securities of mining companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, sometimes based on factors
unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include general fluctuations in the stock market, changes in global financial markets, general market conditions, macroeconomic developments in countries
where such companies carry on business and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The stock markets in general have recently experienced extreme volatility. This volatility may adversely affect the market
price of the Common Shares. The market price of the Common Shares is also likely to be significantly affected by changes in gold, copper and other commodity prices, other precious metal prices and other mineral prices, currency exchange fluctuations
and the political and regulatory environment in countries in which we do business and globally. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Potential Dilution </I></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our articles of amalgamation allow us to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares for such consideration and on such terms and
conditions as shall be established by our Board of Directors, in many cases, without the approval of our shareholders. As part of this Offering (assuming the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full), we expect to issue up to 108,962,500 Common
Shares. In addition, as at June&nbsp;30, 2009, there were 13,198,515 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options of Barrick at prices ranging from Cdn.$15.31 to Cdn.$32.32 and $8.96 to $41.08, and 10,099,239 Common Shares
issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures. Except as described under the heading &#147;Plan of Distribution&#148;, we may issue additional Common Shares in subsequent offerings (including through the sale of securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Shares) and on the exercise of stock options or other securities exercisable for Common Shares. We may also issue Common Shares to finance future acquisitions and other projects. We cannot predict the size of future
issuances of Common Shares or the effect that future issuances and sales of Common Shares will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Issuances of a substantial number of additional Common Shares, or the perception that such issuances could
occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Shares. With any additional issuance of Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and we may experience dilution in our earnings per share. </FONT></P> <P

Shares are entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for such payments. The <I>Business Corporations Act</I> (Ontario) provides that a corporation may not declare or pay a
dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is, or would be after the payment of the dividend, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or the realizable value of its assets would thereby be less than the
aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital of all classes of shares of its capital. Furthermore, holders of Common Shares may be subject to the prior dividend rights of holders of our preferred shares, if any, then outstanding. Our ability to
pay dividends will be subject to our future earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, as well as compliance with covenants and financial ratios relating to existing or future indebtedness. Although we have historically declared
semi-annual cash dividends on the Common Shares, we are not required to do so and our Board of Directors may reduce, defer or eliminate our Common Share dividend in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

SIZE="2">Barrick&#146;s Gold Hedges consist of 3.0 million ounces of fixed price contracts where Barrick does not participate in gold price movements. These Gold Hedges had a negative MTM of $1.9 billion as of September 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

Accordingly, the current $3.7 billion negative MTM position of the Floating Contracts does not change with gold prices. Accordingly, the obligation under the Floating Contracts is economically similar to a fixed U.S. dollar obligation. No activity
in the gold market is required to settle the Floating Contracts. The remaining balance of the Floating Contracts (after application of the net proceeds of this Offering not applied to eliminate the Gold Hedges and assuming no exercise of the
Over-Allotment Option) with a MTM position of negative $2.2&nbsp;billion (as of September 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 U.S.
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; text-indent:4%" 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 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. Gold Sales Contracts were not recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet prior to delivery and the MTM has been disclosed on a quarterly basis in Barrick&#146;s management&#146;s discussion
and analysis. In light of Barrick&#146;s decision to eliminate the contracts, the current MTM of about negative $5.6 billion 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 be classified within operating
cash flow. Settlements are expected to occur subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Sale of an amount equivalent to 25% of Pascua-Lama

is continuing and certain other conditions are met. BIBC will commence the sale of silver based on production figures from the Lagunas Norte, Pierina and Veladero mines with an effective date of September 1, 2009, and silver sales will be based on
production figures from Pascua-Lama upon the later of January 1, 2014 or project completion. Silver Wheaton will buy the silver at a purchase price equal to the prevailing market price by payment of up to $3.90 per ounce in cash (subject to a 1%
annual inflation adjustment starting three years after achieving project completion at Pascua-Lama) and, in the event the prevailing market price exceeds $3.90 per ounce, by crediting the difference between $3.90 per ounce and the market price
against the deposit. Once the deposit has been reduced to nil in this way, Silver Wheaton will purchase each additional ounce of silver at a purchase price equal to the lesser of the prevailing market price and $3.90. The remaining 75% of silver

a result of the discharge of mine tailings from the Marcopper mine into the Calancan Bay, the Boac River, and the Mogpog River. The plaintiffs are claiming for abatement of a public nuisance allegedly caused by the tailings discharge and for nominal
damages for an alleged violation of their constitutional right to a balanced and healthful ecology. The Marcopper mine was owned and operated by Marcopper Mining Corporation (&#147;Marcopper&#148;). Placer Dome Inc., which was acquired by Barrick in
2006, indirectly owned a minority shareholding of 39.9% in Marcopper until the divestiture of its shareholding in 1997. The complaint names Placer Dome Inc. and Barrick Gold Inc. as defendants; however, service has only been attempted on Barrick
Gold Inc. at this time. Barrick Gold Inc. intends to move to dismiss the complaint on a variety of grounds and to otherwise defend the action vigorously. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT

capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other

be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at Barrick&#146;s request, and (ii)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced
by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. Further, Barrick may, with court approval, indemnify an individual described above in respect of an action by or on behalf of Barrick or
another entity to obtain a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party by reason of the individual&#146;s association with Barrick or such other entity described above, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred
by the individual in connection with such action if the individual fulfils condition (i)&nbsp;above. An individual referred to above is entitled to indemnification from Barrick as a matter of right if he or she was not judged by a court or other
competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything he or she ought to have done and fulfils conditions (i)&nbsp;and (ii)&nbsp;above. Barrick has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with each Barrick director and officer
