<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Certain information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including any information as to our strategy, plans or
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;intend,&#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 spot and
forward price of gold, copper or certain other commodities (such as silver, diesel fuel and electricity); changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations, expropriation or nationalization of property, and
political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Dominican Republic, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Tanzania, Zambia, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Pakistan or Barbados or other countries in which we do or may
carry on business in the future; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technical challenges associated with the construction of capital projects; 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; adverse changes in our credit rating; the impact of inflation; fluctuations in the currency markets (such as Canadian and Australian dollars,
Chilean and Argentinean pesos, British pound, Peruvian sol, Zambian kwacha, South African rand, Tanzanian schilling and Papua New Guinean kina versus U.S. dollar); operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development
activities; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; risk of loss due to acts of
war, terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; changes in U.S. dollar interest 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); litigation; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, us; our ability to successfully
integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; employee relations; availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor; and the organization of our African gold operations and properties under a separate listed company. In
addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold
bullion, copper cathode or gold/copper concentrate 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 are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to &#147;Narrative Description of the Business &#151; Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources&#148; and &#147;Risk
Factors&#148; in the annual information form of Barrick dated as of March&nbsp;28, 2013, for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, and to the management&#146;s discussion and analysis for the financial year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 and the
management&#146;s discussion and analysis for the three- and six-month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2013, each of which is incorporated by reference herein, and to the section &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in this 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>

(&#147;<B>NI&nbsp;43-101</B>&#148;), as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, Industry Guide&nbsp;7 (under the Exchange Act), as interpreted by the Staff of the Commission, applies different
standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. Accordingly, for U.S. reporting purposes, as of December&nbsp;31, 2012, approximately 1.98&nbsp;million ounces of reserves at Pueblo Viejo (Barrick&#146;s 60% interest) are 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 Commission does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ
significantly from the requirements of the Commission, 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 Commission. Investors should understand that &#147;inferred&#148; mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and 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.<B> </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT

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 there may be some doubt whether a judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws would be enforceable in Ontario. We have also been advised by such
counsel 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>

and under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in Barrick&#146;s annual information form dated as of March&nbsp;28, 2013, for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, which is incorporated by reference herein. These risks and uncertainties are not the
only ones facing Barrick and BNAF. 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. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of Barrick&#146;s subsidiaries </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Barrick conducts a substantial portion of its operations through subsidiaries. The New 2018 Notes, the New 2023 Notes and Barrick&#146;s
Guarantees of the New 2043 Notes 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 under
the New 2018 Notes, the New 2023 Notes or Barrick&#146;s Guarantees of the New 2043 Notes. Accordingly, the New 2018 Notes, the New 2023 Notes and Barrick&#146;s Guarantees of the New 2043 Notes will effectively be subordinated to all existing and
future liabilities (including trade payables and indebtedness) of such subsidiaries (except to the extent that BNAF is responsible for making payments on the New 2043 Notes). In the event of an insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of any
such subsidiaries, Barrick&#146;s creditors (including the holders of the Guarantees of the New 2043 Notes) will have no right to proceed against the assets of such subsidiaries (except to the extent that holders of the New 2043 Notes have a right
to proceed against BNAF). 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. Neither the indenture governing the New Notes nor the New
Notes place any limitation on the amount of debt that may be incurred by Barrick or its subsidiaries, including BNAF. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Barrick&#146;s

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Barrick&#146;s senior unsecured debt credit ratings were downgraded by Moody&#146;s Investors Service Inc. and Standard&nbsp;&amp;
Poor&#146;s Ratings Services prior to the issuance of the Old Notes. In general, there is no assurance that the credit ratings or the ratings outlook assigned to a particular series of New Notes or to Barrick will remain in effect for any given
period of time or that any such rating or outlook will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency. Real or anticipated changes in credit ratings, including by way of a changed ratings outlook, assigned to a particular series of New
Notes will generally affect the market price of such New Notes. In addition, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or our ratings outlook may also affect the cost at which we can access the capital markets. </FONT></P>

to, or the consent of, the holders of any series of New Notes issued by it, &#147;reopen&#148; such series and issue additional New Notes of that series, which New Notes will be equal in rank to the New Notes of that series in all respects (or in
all respects except for the issue price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the additional New Notes of such series and/or the first payment of interest following the issue date of the additional New Notes of such series) so
that the additional New Notes of such series may be consolidated with and form a single series with, and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as, the New Notes of such series offered under this prospectus. </FONT></P>

Notes or the terms of the New Notes from incurring additional indebtedness or repurchasing its securities. The limited covenants applicable to the New Notes also do not require Barrick or BNAF to achieve or maintain any minimum financial results
relating to their respective financial positions or results of operations or debt ratings. Barrick&#146;s and BNAF&#146;s ability to incur additional indebtedness and take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the New Notes
could have the effect of diminishing Barrick&#146;s or BNAF&#146;s ability to make payments on the New Notes, or Barrick&#146;s ability to make payments on the Guarantees, when due. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

of the Notes and Guarantees&#151;Change of Control Repurchase Event.&#148; A change of control may also require us to make an offer to purchase certain of our other indebtedness and may give rise to the early termination of our primary bank credit
facilities. We may not have sufficient funds to purchase all of the affected indebtedness and/or to repay the amounts owing under our primary bank credit facilities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There is no established trading market for the New Notes and we do not intend to have the New Notes listed on any securities exchange. In
addition, the liquidity of the trading market in the New Notes and the market price quoted for the New Notes may be adversely affected by, among other things, 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 New Notes or as to the liquidity of any trading market that may develop.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>If you fail to exchange your Initial Notes, they will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Initial Notes that you do not tender or we do not accept will, following the exchange offer, continue to be restricted securities, and you
may not offer to sell them except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities law. We will issue New Notes in exchange for the Initial Notes pursuant to the exchange offer
only following the satisfaction of the procedures and conditions set forth in &#147;Exchange Offer&#151;Terms of the Exchange Offer&#151;Conditions&#148; and &#147;Exchange Offer&#151;Terms of the Exchange Offer&#151;Procedures for Tendering&#148;.
These procedures and conditions include timely receipt by the exchange agent of such Initial Notes (or a confirmation of book-entry transfer) and of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or an agent&#146;s message from DTC).
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because we anticipate that most holders of Initial Notes will elect to exchange their Initial Notes, we expect that the
liquidity of the market for any Initial Notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any Initial Notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the
Initial Notes outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you do not tender your Initial Notes, you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Initial Notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions.
Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Initial Notes could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

North America Holding Corporation (&#147;<B>BNAHC</B>&#148;), a Nevada corporation, which in turn is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Barrick. Its primary purpose is the financing of other subsidiaries or affiliates of Barrick, and pursuant to
this purpose, BNAF loaned the proceeds from the offering of the Initial 2043 Notes to BNAHC at a spread. BNAF does not plan to have other operations and it has no assets, operations, revenues or cash flows other than those which are related to the
issuance, administration and repayment of debt securities guaranteed by Barrick and contributions of capital from BNAHC. BNAF does not intend to make available publicly or to its security holders annual or other reports or other separate continuous

hereto, which in the case of a tendering Holder who is an individual, is his or her Social Security number. If the Company is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption from backup withholding, such tendering Holder may
be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;). In addition, delivery to such tendering Holder of New Notes may result in backup withholding, currently at the rate of 28%, on all reportable payments made
after the exchange. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, the Holder may obtain a refund from the IRS, provided that the Holder furnishes required information to the IRS on a timely basis. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

withholding because (a)&nbsp;the Holder is exempt from backup withholding, or (b)&nbsp;the Holder has not been notified by the IRS that such Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or

Substitute Form W-9 means that such Holder has already applied for a TIN or that such Holder intends to apply for one in the near future. If a Holder writes &#147;applied for&#148; in the space for the TIN, the Exchange Agent will retain 28% of

its TIN to the Exchange Agent within such sixty (60)&nbsp;day period, the Exchange Agent will remit such previously withheld amounts to the IRS as backup withholding and will withhold 28% of all reportable payments to the Holder thereafter until
such Holder furnishes its TIN to the Exchange Agent. If the Initial Notes are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, such Holder should consult the enclosed &#147;Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification

withdrawn are validly retendered. Any Initial Notes that have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason (including the termination or withdrawal of the Exchange Offer) will be returned to the tendering Holder thereof
without cost to such Holder by being credited to an account maintained with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility for the Initial Notes promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn Initial Notes
may be retendered by following the procedures described above at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

obtain Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, at the local office of the Social Security Administration or get this form on-line at <I><U>www.ssa.gov/online/ss-5.pdf</U></I>. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. You can
apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at <I><U>www.irs.gov/businesses</U></I> and clicking on Employer ID Numbers under Related Topics. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN,
or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can get Forms <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-7</FONT> and SS-4 from the IRS by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) or from the IRS web site at

interest and dividend payments and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, you will generally have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the payer. If the payer does not receive your TIN within 60 days, backup withholding,
if applicable, will begin and continue until you furnish your TIN. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Note: Writing &#147;Applied For&#148; on the form means that you have

Enter the owner&#146;s name on the &#147;Name&#148; line. The name of the entity entered on the &#147;Name&#148; line should never be a disregarded entity. The name on the &#147;Name&#148; line must be the name shown on the income tax return on
which the income will be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a domestic owner, the domestic owner&#146;s name is required to be provided on the &#147;Name&#148; line. If
the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity&#146;s name on the &#147;Business name&#148; line. If the owner of the disregarded
