SEGMENT INFORMATION Starting in the first quarter of 2019, management reviews the operating results and assesses performance of our operations in Nevada at an individual minesite level; therefore our Cortez and Goldstrike minesites, previously presented as Barrick Nevada, have been presented separately. Prior period figures have been restated to reflect this disaggregation. Barrick’s business is organized into seventeen minesites, one publicly traded company and two projects. Barrick’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), reviews the operating results, assesses performance and makes capital allocation decisions at the minesite, Company and/or project level. Upon completion of the Merger, Mark Bristow, as President and Chief Executive Officer, assumed this role. Each individual minesite and the Pascua-Lama project, with the exception of Acacia, are operating segments for financial reporting purposes. Following the merger with Randgold, we re-evaluated our reportable operating segments and no longer report on our interests in the following non-core properties: Lagunas Norte and Pascua-Lama. Our presentation of our reportable operating segments consists of seven gold mines (Cortez, Goldstrike, Turquoise Ridge, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Kibali and Veladero) and Acacia. The remaining operating segments, including our remaining gold mines, copper mines and projects, have been grouped into an “other” category and will not be reported on individually. Segment performance is evaluated based on a number of measures including operating income before tax, production levels and unit production costs. Certain costs are managed on a consolidated basis and are therefore not reflected in segment income. Consolidated Statement of Income Information
