Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE:NEM) (&#147;Newmont&#148;) said today that the two companies have signed an implementation agreement to create a joint venture combining their respective mining operations, assets, reserves, and talent in Nevada.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The joint venture is an historic accord between the two gold mining companies, which have operated independently in Nevada for decades, but have
previously been unable to agree terms for cooperation. The joint venture will allow them to capture an estimated $500&nbsp;million in average annual <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> synergies in the first five full years of the
combination, which is projected to total $5&nbsp;billion <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> net present value<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">1</SUP> over a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">20-year</FONT> period. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Barrick President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Bristow said the agreement marked the successful culmination of a deal that had been more than 20
years in the making. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">&#147;We listened to our shareholders and agreed with them that this was the best way to realize the enormous potential of the
Nevada goldfields&#146; unequalled mineral endowment, and to maximize the returns from our operations there. We are finally taking down the fences to operate Nevada as a single entity in order to deliver full value to both sets of shareholders, as
well as to all our stakeholders in the state, by securing the long-term future of gold mining in Nevada,&#148; he said. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Gary Goldberg, Chief
Executive Officer of Newmont, said the logic of combining the two companies&#146; operations was compelling. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">&#147;This agreement represents an
innovative and effective way to generate long-term value from our joint assets in Nevada, and represents an important step forward in expanding value creation for our shareholders. Through the joint venture, we will also continue to pursue the
highest standards in safety, along with responsible and meaningful engagement with our employees, communities, and other stakeholders,&#148; he said. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Following the completion of the joint venture, the Nevada complex will be the world&#146;s single-largest gold producer, with a pro forma output of more
than four million ounces in 2018, three Tier One<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">2</SUP> assets, potentially another one in the making, and 48&nbsp;million ounces of reserves.<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">3,4,5</SUP>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">This press release contains statements which are, or may be deemed to be, &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; (or &#147;forward-looking
information&#148;), under applicable securities laws including for the purposes of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on
current expectations and projections of the management of Barrick about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release include statements relating to: (i)&nbsp;the proposed Nevada joint venture, (ii)&nbsp;the expected impact of such a transaction, including potential real <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> synergies (and the net present value and per annum savings of such synergies) as well as effects on and, as applicable, estimates of, the proposed Nevada joint venture&#146;s portfolio of Tier One Gold
Assets, annual gold production, and reserves and resources, (iii)&nbsp;the expected timing and scope of the proposed Nevada joint venture, including receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of closing conditions and (iv)&nbsp;other
statements other than historical facts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Although Barrick believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, Barrick can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the
future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include: risks relating to Barrick and Newmont&#146;s
respective credit ratings; local and global political and economic conditions; Barrick&#146;s economic model; liquidity risks; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold, copper, or certain other commodities (such as silver, diesel fuel,
natural gas, and electricity); financial services risk; the risks associated with each of Barrick&#146;s and Newmont&#146;s brand, reputation and trust; environmental risks; safety and technology risks; the ability to realize the anticipated
benefits of the proposed Nevada joint venture (including estimated synergies and financial benefits) or implementing the business plan for the proposed Nevada joint venture, including as a result of a delay in its completion or difficulty in
integrating the Nevada assets of the companies involved; the risk that the conditions to formation of the proposed Nevada joint venture will not be satisfied; the risk that required regulatory approvals necessary to form the proposed Nevada joint
venture will not be obtained, or that conditions will be imposed in connection with such approvals that will increase the costs associated with the transaction or have other negative implications for Barrick following the transaction; the risk that
the focus of management&#146;s time and attention on the transaction may detract from other aspects of the respective businesses of Barrick and Newmont; legal or regulatory developments and changes; the outcome of any litigation, arbitration or
other dispute proceeding; the impact of any acquisitions or similar transactions; competition and market risks; the impact of foreign exchange rates; pricing pressures; the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with
expectations; risks that exploration data may be incomplete and considerable additional work may be required to complete further evaluation, including but not limited to drilling, engineering and socioeconomic studies and investment; risk of loss
due to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, or over access to water, power and other required infrastructure; and business continuity and crisis
management. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Neither Barrick, Newmont nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee
that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this press release will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Other than in accordance with
their legal or regulatory obligations, neither Barrick nor Newmont is not under any obligation, and both Barrick and Newmont expressly disclaim any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued &#147;forward-looking statement&#148; constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. </P>

hundred thousand ounces of gold and total cash cost per ounce within the bottom half of Wood Mackenzie&#146;s cost curve tools (excluding state-owned and privately owned mines). Total cash cost per ounce is based on data from Wood Mackenzie as of
August&nbsp;31, 2018, except in respect of Barrick&#146;s mines where Barrick relied on its internal data which is more current and reliable. The Wood Mackenzie calculation of total cash cost per ounce may not be identical to the manner in which
Barrick calculates comparable measures. Total cash cost per ounce is a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial performance measure with no standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other issuers. Total cash cost per ounce should not be considered by investors as an alternative to cost of sales or to other IFRS measures. Barrick believes that total cash cost per ounce is a useful indicator for investors and
management of a mining company&#146;s performance as it provides an indication of a company&#146;s profitability and efficiency, the trends in cash costs as the company&#146;s operations mature, and a benchmark of performance to allow for comparison
against other companies. </P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
