Certain information contained or incorporated by reference in this presentation, including any information as to our strategy, projects, plans or future financial or operating performance, constitutes "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "contemplate", "target", "plan", "intend", "continue", "budget", "estimate", "may", "will", "schedule" 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 the company, 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

1. All-in sustaining costs per ounce, adjusted net earnings, gold total cash costs per ounce, C1 cash costs per pound, C3 fully allocated cash costs per pound are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standardized definition under IFRS. See pages 31-34 of Barrick’s First Quarter 2013 Report.

2. For a breakdown of reserves and resources by category and additional information relating to reserves and resources, see pages 25-35 of Barrick’s Form 40-F.

3. Barrick’s exploration programs are designed and conducted under the supervision of Robert Krcmarov, Senior Vice President, Global E l ti f B i kExploration of Barrick.
