&#151; Barrick Gold Corporation (&#147;Barrick&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) announced today that it plans to undertake a share repurchase program to allow for the buyback of some of its common shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Barrick&#146;s Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $1.0&nbsp;billion of the Company&#146;s
outstanding common shares over the next 12 months at prevailing market prices in accordance with applicable law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">&#147;We believe that the shares
are trading in a price range that does not reflect the value of the Company&#146;s mining and financial assets and future business prospects,&#148; said Mark Bristow, President and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;We have the financial strength to
undertake this program.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Under the program, repurchases can be made from time to time through published markets in the United States such as
the New York Stock Exchange using a variety of methods, including open market purchases, as well as by any other means permitted under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Barrick believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares trade at prices that may not adequately reflect their underlying value.
The actual number of common shares that may be purchased, if any, and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by Barrick based on a number of factors, including the Company&#146;s financial performance, prevailing market prices of the
common shares, the availability of cash flows, and the consideration of other uses of cash, including capital investment opportunities, returns to shareholders, and debt reduction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of common shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or
discontinued at any time at the Company&#146;s discretion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL"><FONT COLOR="#00557e"><B>Enquiries: </B></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Certain information contained or incorporated by reference in this press release, including any information as to our strategy, projects, 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;will&#148;, &#147;expect&#148;,
&#147;commit&#148;, &#147;would&#148;, &#147;could&#148; and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, with respect to: the expected
amount and timing of Barrick&#146;s share repurchase program (subject to the limitation under applicable law that no more than 5% or 88,966,551* of Barrick&#146;s issued and outstanding common shares may be repurchased); the expectation that the
Company will have the financial strength to undertake the contemplated share repurchase program during the relevant period; the published markets which may be utilized to effect the share repurchase program; and the potential that the share
repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued by the Company at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of
estimates and assumptions including material estimates and assumptions related to the factors set forth below that, while considered reasonable by the Company as at the date of this press release in light of management&#146;s experience and
perception of current conditions and expected developments, 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, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements and information. 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, natural gas, and electricity); the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; assumptions relating to the trading price of the Company&#146;s common shares; changes in mineral production
performance, exploitation, and exploration successes; disruption of supply routes which may cause delays in construction and mining activities at Barrick&#146;s more remote properties; whether benefits expected from recent transactions are realized;
diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technical challenges associated with the construction of capital projects; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development
activities, including geotechnical challenges and disruptions in the maintenance or provision of required infrastructure and information technology systems; failure to comply with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; timing of
receipt of, or failure to comply with, necessary permits and approvals; uncertainty whether some or all of targeted investments and projects will meet the Company&#146;s capital allocation objectives and internal hurdle rate; 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; the impact of inflation; fluctuations in the currency markets; changes in national and local government
legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices, expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in the jurisdictions in which the Company or its
affiliates do or may carry on business in the future; lack of certainty with respect to foreign legal systems, corruption and other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; damage to the Company&#146;s reputation due to the actual or
perceived occurrence of any number of events, including negative publicity with respect to the Company&#146;s handling of environmental matters or dealings with community groups, whether true or not; the possibility that future exploration results
will not be consistent with the Company&#146;s 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; risks associated with illegal and artisanal mining; risks associated with new diseases, epidemics and pandemics, including the effects
of the global <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Covid-19</FONT> pandemic; litigation and legal and administrative proceedings; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, or over access to water, power and other
required infrastructure; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; risks associated with working with partners in jointly controlled
assets; employee relations including loss of key employees; increased costs and physical risks, including extreme weather events and resource shortages, related to climate change; and availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs
and labor. 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, <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">cave-ins,</FONT> flooding and gold bullion, copper cathode or gold or copper concentrate losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">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 press release are qualified by
these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">40-F/Annual</FONT> Information Form on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities for a more detailed
discussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements and the risks that may affect Barrick&#146;s ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Barrick disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events
