**Exhibit 99.1**![LOGO](g145525dsp1b.jpg)

## Barrick Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
**Disciplined execution drives strong operational and financial performance** 

– Q1 gold production of 719,000 ounces<sup>1</sup> beats guidance of 640,000–680,000 ounces<sup>1</sup>, driven by strong performances at NGM and Veladero, and the ramp-up at Loulo-Gounkoto; copper production of 49,000 tonnes<sup>1</sup> in line with plan.

Gold costs per ounce were better than plan, driven by efficiencies in mining and processing: gold COS<sup>2</sup> of $1,922 per ounce, TCC<sup>3</sup> of $1,327 per ounce, and AISC<sup>3</sup> of $1,708 per ounce. <br>

Operating cash flow of $2.55 billion increased 111% year-on-year, attributable operating cash flow of $1.97 billion increased 89% year-on-year, and attributable free cash flow<sup>3</sup> of $1.21 billion was up 195% year-on-year. <br>

Strong earnings supported by a higher realized gold price<sup>3</sup>: net earnings per share of $0.96 rose 256% year-on-year, and adjusted net earnings per share<sup>3</sup> of $0.98 rose 180% year-on-year. <br>

– Gold production expected to increase sequentially throughout the year with Q2 gold production of 730,000–770,000 ounces<sup>1</sup>; full year production and cost guidance remains unchanged.

– North American Barrick IPO progressing as planned, targeting completion by year end.

$0.175 per share quarterly dividend declared and new $3.0 billion share buyback program announced. <br>

All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars

**Toronto, May 11, 2026** – Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE:B)(TSX:ABX) ("Barrick" or the "Company") today reported first quarter operating and financial results for the period ended March 31, 2026. Barrick produced 719,000 ounces<sup>1</sup> of gold and 49,000 tonnes<sup>1</sup> of copper in the quarter. The Company generated $5.22 billion in revenue, $2.55 billion in operating cash flow, $1.97 billion in attributable operating cash flow<sup>3</sup>, and $1.21 billion in attributable free cash flow<sup>3</sup>. Net earnings per share for the quarter were $0.96, and adjusted net earnings per share<sup>3</sup> were $0.98—up 256% and 180%, respectively, from Q1 2025.

Mark Hill, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: *"We started the year with another strong quarter. Building on momentum from Q4, we operated safely and outperformed our plan on both gold production and costs. Our performance allowed us to capture even more of the higher gold price, producing significantly higher earnings and cash flow compared to a year ago. Our growth pipeline advanced, with good progress at Lumwana and Fourmile. Most importantly, we continued to improve safety."* 

------

Mark Hill continued: *"Our focus for the year is clear: continue to improve safety performance, deliver on production and cost guidance, advance our growth projects on time and on budget, and execute the North American Barrick IPO to unlock further shareholder value."*

**Operational Highlights** 

Firm in its belief that safe delivery and operational excellence are inseparable, Barrick continued to strengthen safety practices. Senior executives initiated a new practice of participating in on-site safety briefings every quarter.

Gold production in the first quarter totaled 719,000 ounces<sup>1</sup>, exceeding the guidance range of 640,000–680,000 ounces<sup>1</sup>. Three primary factors drove our performance: strong underground mining and processing at NGM, higher throughput and grades at Veladero, and a faster than expected ramp up at Loulo-Gounkoto. Gold costs per ounce increased year-on-year primarily due to higher royalties, less favorable production mix and inflationary pressure, but came in below our plan for the quarter. Gold cost of sales ("COS")<sup>2</sup>**** for Q1 were $1,922 per ounce, compared to COS<sup>2</sup> of $1,629 in Q1 2025. Total cash costs ("TCC")<sup>3</sup> were $1,327 per ounce, compared to $1,220 in the prior-year quarter. All-in sustaining costs ("AISC")<sup>3</sup> were $1,708 per ounce, down 4% compared to Q1 2025.

Copper production rose 11% year-on-year to 49,000 tonnes<sup>1</sup> in the first quarter. Copper COS<sup>4</sup> of $3.41 per pound, C1 cash costs<sup>3</sup> of $2.57 per pound and AISC<sup>3</sup> of $3.67 per pound were up 17%, 14% and 20%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period. Royalties tied to the higher realized copper price<sup>3</sup> and increased site operating costs drove the increases.

**Financial Highlights** 

Higher gold production, lower costs, and a supportive gold price drove year-on-year growth in earnings and cash generation. Net earnings totaled $1.60 billion ($0.96 per share) and adjusted net earnings<sup>3</sup> totaled $1.65 billion ($0.98 per share), compared to net earnings of $474 million ($0.27 per share) and adjusted net earnings<sup>3</sup> of $603 million ($0.35 per share) in the prior-year quarter. Attributable EBITDA<sup>3</sup> for the quarter totaled $2.76 billion, an increase of 103% over the prior-year quarter, with an attributable EBITDA margin<sup>3</sup> of 66%.

Operating cash flow, attributable operating cash flow<sup>3</sup> and attributable free cash flow<sup>3</sup> in the first quarter were $2.55 billion, $1.97 billion and $1.21 billion—up 111%, 89% and 195% over Q1 2025, respectively. Revenues of $5.22 billion increased 67% from $3.13 billion in the prior-year quarter.

**Key Growth Projects** 

The Fourmile project in Nevada continued to demonstrate its potential to become a standalone Tier One Gold Asset<sup>5</sup>. With the implementation of additional safety measures, drilling activity continued through winter, adding over three months of previously unavailable drilling time. The additional drilling time is helping accelerate progress on resource definition in the southern areas and extensional opportunities. Drilling is planned to be expanded throughout 2026. Ongoing PFS studies are expected to support the potential for significant resource growth, with a full PFS expected to be completed in 2028.

Construction at the Lumwana Super Pit Expansion continued to advance on time and on budget during the quarter. The initial lift of the mill building wall was completed in Q1, with mill shells delivered to site

and the first loads of structural steel expected in Q2. Capital expenditure for 2026 is expected to come in at the lower end of the $750–$850 million guidance range, with total project capital anticipated at $2 billion. First copper production from the expansion remains on track for the end of Q1 2028.

**Returns to Shareholders** 

A quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share has been declared in respect of performance for the first quarter of 2026. The Q1 2026 dividend will be paid on June 15, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 29, 2026.

Barrick's dividend policy targets a total payout of 50% of attributable free cash flow on an annualized basis, comprised of a fixed base quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share and a performance top-up component at each year-end based on the attributable free cash flow during the year. The dividend paid in any given year may be higher or lower than the 50% target based on the strength of cash flow, capital needs, balance sheet considerations, and other factors.

In addition to the quarterly dividend, and following solid Q1 execution and strong free cash flow, Barrick's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of the Company's outstanding common shares at prevailing market prices. This authorization is intended to return cash to shareholders at a time when Barrick sees exceptional value in its own shares, particularly in anticipation of the planned IPO of North American Barrick. The repurchase authorization does not oblige the Company to acquire common shares.

**2026 Guidance** 

Barrick is on track to meet 2026 guidance. Gold production guidance for 2026 continues to be 2.90–3.25 million ounces<sup>1</sup>, with 730,000–770,000 ounces<sup>1</sup> expected in the second quarter, further increasing in Q3 and Q4, in line with typical seasonality. Gold cost guidance for 2026, including COS<sup>2</sup> of $1,870–$2,070 per ounce, TCC of $1,330–$1,470 per ounce, and AISC<sup>3</sup> of $1,760–$1,950 per ounce, is based on a gold price assumption of $4,500 per ounce.

Copper production guidance for 2026 remains unchanged at 190,000–220,000 tonnes<sup>1</sup> at copper COS<sup>4</sup> of $3.05–$3.35 per pound, C1 cash costs<sup>3</sup> of $2.20–$2.45 per pound, and AISC<sup>3</sup> of $3.45–$3.75 per pound. Copper cost guidance is based on a copper price assumption of $5.50 per pound.

2026 cost guidance is based on an oil price (WTI) assumption of $70 per barrel. For every $10 per barrel change in the oil price, the direct impact on costs associated with diesel consumption is $12 per ounce across our gold operations, and $0.04 per pound across our copper sites.

**North American IPO** 

On April 28, 2026, Barrick <u>provided an update</u> regarding the planned initial public offering ("IPO") of a minority stake of a company that will hold Barrick's North American gold assets, being Barrick's stakes and operatorship of Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo, as well as the Fourmile project. Barrick is on track to complete the IPO by the end of 2026, subject to market and other conditions and necessary approvals. The anticipated IPO will abide by all applicable commitments in Barrick's Joint Venture Agreements and, while Barrick is free to pursue the IPO unilaterally, it is working closely with its Joint Venture partner, so that value is created and maximized for all.

**Technical Information** 

The scientific and technical information contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Jesse Clark, BSc (Hons), MSc, SMERM, Director, Geology; Richard Peattie, MPhil, FAusIMM, Chief Technical Officer; and Joel Holliday, FAusIMM, Executive Vice-President, Exploration – each a "Qualified Person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – *Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects*.

All mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are estimated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – *Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects*. Unless otherwise noted, such mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are as of December 31, 2025.

**Endnotes** 

**Endnote 1** 

On an attributable basis.

**Endnote 2** 

On an attributable basis. Gold COS/oz is calculated as cost of sales across our gold operations (excluding sites in closure or care and maintenance) divided by ounces sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick's ownership share).

**Endnote 3 – Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

**Total cash costs per ounce and All-in sustaining costs per ounce** 

"Total cash costs" per ounce (TCC/oz) and "All-in sustaining costs" per ounce (AISC/oz) are non-GAAP financial performance measures which are calculated based on the definition published by the World Gold Council (a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by gold mining companies from around the world, including Barrick, the "WGC"). The WGC is not a regulatory organization. Management uses these measures to monitor the performance of our gold mining operations and their ability to generate positive cash flow, both on an individual site basis and an overall company basis. TCC/oz start with our cost of sales related to gold production and removes depreciation, the non-controlling interest of cost of sales and costs allocated to by-products. AISC/oz start with TCC/oz and includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining leases, general and administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs related to the current mine plan and reclamation cost accretion and amortization. Barrick believes that the use of TCC/oz and AISC/oz will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in understanding the costs associated with producing gold, understanding the economics of gold mining, assessing our operating performance and also our ability to generate free cash flow from the gold operations portion of our business. Due to the capital-intensive nature of the industry and the long useful lives over which these items are depreciated, there can be a significant timing difference between net earnings calculated in accordance with IFRS and the amount of free cash flow that is generated by a mine and therefore Barrick believes these measures are useful non-GAAP operating metrics and supplement our IFRS disclosures. These measures are not representative of all of Barrick's cash expenditures as they do not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments. These measures do not include depreciation or amortization. TCC/oz and AISC/oz are intended to provide additional information only and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not equivalent to net income or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Although the WGC has published a standardized definition, other companies may calculate these measures differently. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick's financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

**a.** **Other -** Other adjustments mainly relate to treatment and refining charges.

**b.** **Non-controlling interests -** Non-controlling interests include non-controlling interests related to gold production of $600 million for Q1 2026, (Q4 2025: $741 million; Q1 2025: $487 million). Non-controlling interests include NGM, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Tongon, North Mara and Bulyanhulu. Refer to Note 5 to the Financial Statements for further information.

**c.** **Exploration and evaluation costs -** Exploration, evaluation and project expenses are included in AISC if they support current mine operations.

**d.** **Capital expenditures -** Capital expenditures are related to our gold sites only and are split between minesite sustaining and project capital expenditures.

**e.** **Rehabilitation—accretion and amortization -** Includes depreciation on the assets related to rehabilitation provisions of our gold operations and accretion on the rehabilitation provision of our gold operations, split between operating and non-operating sites.

**f.** **Non-controlling interest and copper operations -** Removes general and administrative costs related to non-controlling interests and copper based on a percentage allocation of revenue. Also removes exploration, evaluation and project expenses, rehabilitation costs and capital expenditures incurred by our copper sites and the non-controlling interest of NGM, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Tongon, North Mara and Bulyanhulu operating segments. It also includes capital expenditures applicable to our equity method investment in Kibali. The impact is summarized as the following:

**g.** **Ounces sold - attributable basis -** Excludes Long Canyon which is producing residual ounces from the leach pad while in care and maintenance.

**h.** **COS/oz -** Gold COS/oz is calculated as cost of sales across our gold operations (excluding sites in closure or care and maintenance) divided by ounces sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick's ownership share).

**i.** **Per ounce figures -** COS/oz, TCC/oz and AISC/oz may not calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding.

**Free Cash Flow, Attributable Free Cash Flow and Attributable Operating Cash Flow** 

"Free cash flow" is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities. "Attributable free cash flow" starts with free cash flow and adds our attributable share of free cash flow from our equity investees and subtracts the free cash flow attributable to the non-controlling interests. Management believes these to be useful indicators of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. Attributable operating cash flow starts with cash provided by operating activities and adds our attributable share of cash provided by operating activities from our equity investees and subtracts the cash provided by operating activities attributable to the non-controlling interests. Management believes this to be useful indicator of the amount of cash provided by operating activities to Barrick's ownership share. Free cash flow, attributable free cash flow and attributable operating cash flow are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily indicative of

**Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share** 

"Adjusted net earnings" and "adjusted net earnings per share" are non-GAAP financial performance measures. Adjusted net earnings excludes the following from net earnings: impairment charges (reversals) related to intangibles, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and investments; acquisition/disposition gains/losses; foreign currency translation gains/losses; significant tax adjustments; other items that are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of our core mining business; and tax effect and non-controlling interest of the above items. Management uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. Management believes that adjusted net earnings is a useful measure of our performance because impairment charges, acquisition/disposition gains/losses and significant tax adjustments do not reflect the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Furthermore, foreign currency translation gains/losses are not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the reporting periods presented. The tax effect and non-controlling interest of the adjusting items are also excluded to reconcile the amounts to Barrick's shares on a post-tax basis, consistent with net earnings. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are intended to provide additional information only and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick's financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

**C1 cash costs per pound and All-in sustaining costs per pound** 

"C1 cash costs" per pound (C1 cash costs/lb) and "All-in sustaining costs" per pound (AISC/lb) are non-GAAP financial performance measures related to our copper mine operations. We believe that C1 cash costs/lb enables investors to better understand the performance of our copper operations in comparison to other copper producers who present results on a similar basis. C1 cash costs/lb excludes royalties, production taxes and non-routine charges as they are not direct production costs. AISC/lb is similar to the gold AISC metric and management uses this to better evaluate the costs of copper production. We believe this measure enables investors to better understand the operating performance of our copper mines as this measure reflects all of the sustaining expenditures incurred in order to produce copper. AISC/lb includes C1 cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining leases, general and administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs, royalties, production taxes, reclamation cost accretion and amortization and writedowns taken on inventory to net realizable value. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick's financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

**EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Attributable EBITDA, Attributable EBITDA Margin and Net Leverage** 

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings: income tax expense; finance costs; finance income; and depreciation. Management believes that EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Management uses EBITDA for this purpose. Adjusted EBITDA removes the effect of impairment charges; acquisition/disposition gains/losses; foreign currency translation gains/losses; and other

------

expense adjustments. We also remove the impact of the income tax expense, finance costs, finance income and depreciation incurred in our equity method accounted investments. Attributable EBITDA further removes the non-controlling interest portion. Barrick believes these items provide a greater level of consistency with the adjusting items included in our adjusted net earnings reconciliation, with the exception that these amounts are adjusted to remove any impact on finance costs/income, income tax expense and/or depreciation as they do not affect EBITDA. Barrick believes this additional information will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in better understanding our ability to generate liquidity from our attributable business, including equity method investments, by excluding these amounts from the calculation as they are not indicative of the performance of our core mining business and do not necessarily reflect the underlying operating results for the periods presented. Additionally, it is aligned with how we present our forward-looking guidance on gold ounces and copper pounds produced. Attributable EBITDA margin is calculated as attributable EBITDA divided by revenues - as adjusted. We believe this ratio will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick to better understand the relationship between revenues and EBITDA or operating profit. Net leverage is calculated as debt, net of cash divided by the sum of adjusted EBITDA of the last four consecutive quarters. We believe this ratio will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in monitoring our leverage and evaluating our balance sheet. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, attributable EBITDA, EBITDA margin and net leverage are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and attributable EBITDA exclude the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, attributable EBITDA, EBITDA margin and net leverage differently. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick's financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

**Capital Expenditures** 

These amounts are presented on the same basis as our guidance. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures and project capital expenditures are non-GAAP financial measures. Capital expenditures are classified into minesite sustaining capital expenditures or project capital expenditures depending on the nature of the expenditure. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures is the capital spending required to support current production levels. Project capital expenditures represent the capital spending at new projects and major, discrete projects at existing operations intended to increase net present value through higher production or longer mine life. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of the purpose of capital expenditures and this distinction is an input into the calculation of all-in sustaining costs per ounce/pound. Classifying capital expenditures is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick's financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial performance measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

**Realized Price** 

"Realized price" is a non-GAAP financial performance measure which excludes from sales: treatment and refining charges; and cumulative catch-up adjustment to revenue relating to our streaming arrangements. We believe this provides investors and analysts with a more accurate measure with which to compare to market gold and copper prices and to assess our gold and copper sales performance. For those reasons, management believes that this measure provides a more accurate reflection of our Company's past performance and is a better indicator of its expected performance in future periods. The realized price measure is intended to provide additional information, and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of sales as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick's financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

**Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information** 

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 "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements.

In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, with respect to: Barrick's forward-looking production guidance; estimates of future cost of sales per ounce for gold and per pound for copper, total cash costs per ounce and C1 cash costs per pound, and all-in sustaining costs per ounce/pound; projected capital, operating and exploration expenditures; our ability to convert resources into reserves and replace reserves net of depletion from production; mine life and production rates, including anticipated production growth from Barrick's organic project pipeline; the potential for Fourmile to become a standalone Tier One Gold Asset; Barrick's global exploration strategy and planned exploration activities; Barrick's copper strategy; our plans, and expected timing, completion and benefits of our growth projects, including the progress of the Lumwana Super Pit Expansion project; Barrick's decision to slow development activity at Reko Diq; potential mineralization and metal or mineral recoveries; Barrick's performance dividend policy; Barrick's intention to pursue and the expected timing for and potential benefits of an initial public offering ("IPO") of Barrick's North American gold assets; the structure and the ability of the IPO to generate significant value for Barrick and Newmont; and expectations regarding future price assumptions, financial performance and other outlook or guidance.

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'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); risks associated with projects in the early stages of evaluation and for which additional engineering and other analysis is required; risks related to the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations, that quantities or grades of reserves will be diminished, and that resources may not be converted to reserves; risks associated with the fact that certain of the initiatives described in this press release are still in the early stages and may not materialize; changes in mineral production performance, exploitation and exploration successes; 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; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; lack of certainty with respect to foreign legal systems, corruption and other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices, including the status of value added tax refunds received in Chile in connection with the Pascua-Lama Project; expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, or other countries in which Barrick does or may carry on business in the future; risks relating to the proposed initial public offering of an entity that will hold Barrick's North American assets; risks relating to political instability in certain of the jurisdictions in which Barrick operates; timing of receipt of, or failure to comply with, necessary permits and approvals; non-renewal of key licenses by governmental authorities; failure to comply with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; increased costs and physical and transition risks related to climate change, including extreme weather events, resource shortages, emerging policies and increased regulations related to greenhouse gas ("GHG") emission levels, energy efficiency and reporting of risks; the Company's ability to achieve its sustainability goals, including its climate-related goals and GHG emissions reduction targets, in particular its ability to achieve its Scope 3 emissions targets which require reliance on entities within Barrick's value chain, but outside of the Company's direct control, to achieve such targets within the specified timeframes; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, or over access to water, power and other required infrastructure; the liability associated with risks and hazards in the mining industry, and the ability to maintain insurance to cover such losses; damage to the Company's reputation due to the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, including negative publicity with respect to the Company's handling of environmental matters or dealings with community groups, whether true or not; risks related to operations near communities that may regard Barrick's operations as being detrimental to them; litigation and legal and administrative proceedings; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities, including geotechnical challenges, tailings dam and storage facilities failures, and disruptions in the maintenance or provision of required infrastructure and information technology systems; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technical challenges associated with the construction of capital projects; risks associated with working with partners in jointly controlled assets; risks related to disruption of supply routes which may cause delays in construction and mining activities, including disruptions in the supply of key mining inputs due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East; risk of loss due to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; risks associated with artisanal and illegal mining; risks associated with Barrick's infrastructure, information technology systems and the implementation of Barrick's technological initiatives, including risks related cybersecurity incidents, including those caused by computer viruses, malware, ransomware and other cyberattacks, or similar information technology system failures, delays and/or disruptions; 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, including global inflationary pressures driven by ongoing global supply chain disruptions, global energy cost increases following the

invasion of Ukraine by Russia and country-specific political and economic factors in Argentina and uncertainty related to Venezuela; adverse changes in our credit ratings; fluctuations in the currency markets; changes in U.S. dollar interest rates; changes in U.S. trade, tariff and other controls on imports and exports, tax, immigration or other policies that may impact relations with foreign countries, result in retaliatory policies, lead to increased costs for raw materials and components, or impact Barrick's existing operations and material growth projects; risks arising from holding derivative instruments (such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark-to-market risk); risks related to the demands placed on the Company's management, the ability of management to implement its business strategy and enhanced political risk in certain jurisdictions; uncertainty whether some or all of Barrick's targeted investments and projects will meet the Company's capital allocation objectives and internal hurdle rate; whether benefits expected from recent transactions are realized; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; risks related to competition in the mining industry; employee relations including loss of key employees; availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor; risks associated with diseases, epidemics and pandemics; risks related to the failure of internal controls; and risks related to the impairment of the Company's goodwill and assets.

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 or 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 press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Form 40-F/ Annual 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's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. We disclaim 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.

In particular, this MD&A contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, with respect to: Barrick's forward-looking production and cost guidance, including our ability to meet our 2026 guidance; anticipated production growth from Barrick's organic project pipeline and reserve replacement; estimates of future cost of sales per ounce for gold and per pound for copper, total cash costs per ounce and C1 cash costs per pound, and all-in sustaining costs per ounce/ pound; cash flow forecasts; projected capital, operating and exploration expenditures; the share buyback program and performance dividend policy; mine life and production rates; anticipated timing for development of the Goldrush Project; our plans, timelines, and expected completion and benefits of our growth projects, including the Goldrush Project, Fourmile, Ren, Pueblo Viejo plant expansion and mine life extension project, Veladero Phase 8 Leach Pad, Reko Diq, solar power project at Kibali, and the Lumwana Super Pit Expansion; anticipated production at Goldrush, Ren, Reko Diq and Lumwana; timing for first production from the Lumwana Super Pit Expansion; Barrick's decision to slow development activity at Reko Diq capital expenditures related to upgrades and ongoing management initiatives; Barrick's global exploration strategy and planned exploration activities; Barrick's copper strategy; the resumption of operations at Loulo-Gounkoto following the resolution of disputes with the Government of Mali, including adoption of the 2023 Mining Code; our pipeline of high confidence projects at or near existing operations; our ability to identify new Tier One assets and the potential for existing assets to attain Tier One status, including Fourmile; the incorporation of Fourmile into the NGM joint venture at fair market value; potential mineralization and metal or mineral recoveries; Barrick's intention to pursue and the expected timing for and potential benefits of an initial public offering ("IPO") of Barrick's North American gold assets; the structure and the ability of the IPO to generate significant value for Barrick and Newmont; our ability to convert resources into reserves and future reserve replacement; asset sales, joint ventures and partnerships; Barrick's strategy, plans, targets and goals in respect of sustainability issues, including climate change, greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions reduction targets, human rights, safety performance, community development and resettlement, and responsible water use; and expectations regarding future price assumptions, financial performance and other outlook or guidance.

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 MD&A in light of management'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); risks associated with projects in the early stages of evaluation and for which additional engineering and other analysis is required; risks related to the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations, that quantities or grades of reserves will be diminished, and that resources may not be converted to reserves; risks associated with the fact that certain of the initiatives described in this MD&A are still in the early stages and may not materialize; changes in mineral production performance, exploitation and exploration successes; 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; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; lack of certainty with respect to foreign legal systems, corruption and other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices, including the expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, or other countries in which Barrick does or may carry on business in the future; risks relating to the proposed initial public offering of an entity that will hold Barrick's North American assets; risks relating to political instability in certain of the jurisdictions in which Barrick operates; timing of receipt of, or failure to comply with, necessary permits and approvals; non-renewal of key licenses by governmental authorities; failure to comply with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; increased costs and physical and transition risks related to climate change, including extreme weather events, resource shortages, emerging policies and increased regulations related to GHG emission levels, energy efficiency and reporting of risks; the Company's ability to achieve its sustainability goals, including its climate-related goals and GHG emissions reduction targets, in particular its ability to achieve its Scope 3 emissions targets which require reliance on entities within Barrick's value chain, but outside of the Company's direct control, to achieve such targets within the specified time frames; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, or over access to water, power and other required infrastructure; the liability associated with risks and hazards in the mining industry, and the ability to maintain insurance to cover such losses; damage to the Company's reputation due to the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, including negative publicity with respect to the Company's handling of environmental matters or dealings with community groups, whether true or not; risks related to operations near

management, the ability of management to implement its business strategy and enhanced political risk in certain jurisdictions; uncertainty whether some or all of Barrick's targeted investments and projects will meet the Company's capital allocation objectives and internal hurdle rate; whether benefits expected from recent transactions are realized; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; risks related to competition in the mining industry; employee relations including loss of key employees; availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor; risks associated with diseases, epidemics and pandemics; risks related to the failure of internal controls; and risks related to the impairment of the Company's goodwill and assets. 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 or 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 MD&A are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Form 40-F/Annual 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's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. We disclaim 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.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures and ratios in our MD&A:

∎ "adjusted net earnings"

∎ "free cash flow"

∎ "attributable free cash flow"

∎ "attributable operating cash flow"

∎ "EBITDA"

∎ "adjusted EBITDA"

∎ "attributable EBITDA"

∎ "attributable EBITDA margin"

∎ "net leverage"

∎ "minesite sustaining capital expenditures"

∎ "project capital expenditures"

∎ "TCC/oz"

∎ "C1 cash costs/lb"

∎ "AISC per oz/lb" and

∎ "realized price per oz/lb"

For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this MD&A and a detailed reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure under IFRS, please refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this MD&A on pages 36 to 45. Each non-GAAP financial measure has been annotated with a reference to an endnote on page 46. The non-GAAP financial measures set out in this MD&A are intended to provide additional information to investors and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

**Changes in Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures** 

Attributable Operating Cash Flow

Starting with this MD&A, we are presenting attributable operating cash flow. Attributable operating cash flow starts with cash provided by operating activities and adds our attributable share of cash provided by operating activities from our equity investees and subtracts the cash provided by operating activities attributable to the non-controlling interests. Management believes this to be useful indicator of the amount of cash provided by operating activities to Barrick's ownership share.

Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings<sup>1</sup> - Q1 2026 versus Q4 2025

Net earnings and adjusted net earnings<sup>1</sup> attributable to equity holders of Barrick ("net earnings") for Q1 2026 were $1,602 million and $1,648 million, respectively, compared to $2,406 million and $1,754 million, respectively in Q4 2025. The primary driver of the decrease were lower gold and copper sales volumes, partially offset by higher realized gold and copper prices<sup>1</sup>.

After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted net earnings<sup>1</sup> of $1,648 million for Q1 2026 was $106 million lower than Q4 2025. Q1 2026 realized gold prices<sup>1</sup> were 15% higher when compared to Q4 2025. The decrease in gold sales volumes was mainly as a result of lower grades mined and processed at Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo combined with lower grades mined at North Mara and Kibali. These were partially offset by higher production at Loulo-Gounkoto as a result of ramping up of operations during Q1 2026 following resolution of the dispute with the Government of Mali late in Q4 2025. Lower copper sales was a result of lower grades and a planned shutdown at Lumwana.

Factors affecting net earnings and adjusted net earnings<sup>1</sup> - Q1 2026 versus Q1 2025

Net earnings and adjusted net earnings<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 were $1,602 million and $1,648 million, respectively, compared to $474 million and $603 million, respectively in Q1 2025. The primary drivers of the increase were higher realized gold prices<sup>1</sup>, partially offset by higher gold COS/oz<sup>2</sup>. Q1 2026 realized gold prices<sup>1</sup> were 66% higher when compared to Q1 2025. The increase in gold COS/oz<sup>2</sup> was mainly due to the impact of higher royalties, mining and production taxes (impact approximately $90/oz) associated with the higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. In addition, COS/oz<sup>2</sup> was higher due to the inclusion of Loulo-Gounkoto sales at higher costs (as a result of the fair value increment on inventory resulting from the purchase price allocation when we regained control of Loulo-Gounkoto in Q4 2025) whereas in Q1 2025 there were no sales from Loulo-Gounkoto as shipments were restricted.

Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow<sup>1</sup> - Q1 2026 versus Q4 2025

In Q1 2026, we generated $2,554 million in operating cash flow, compared to $2,726 million in Q4 2025. The decrease of $172 million was primarily due to lower gold sales this quarter combined with higher gold TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> partially offset by a higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. Operating cash flow was further impacted by an unfavorable movement in working capital, primarily in accounts payable which decreased as a result of the payment of supplier balances at Loulo-Gounkoto as operations ramped up in Q1 2026. These results were positively impacted by a decrease in cash taxes paid and lower interest paid as a result of the timing of semi-annual interest payments on our bonds, which primarily occur in the second and fourth quarters.

In Q1 2026, we recorded free cash flow<sup>1</sup> of $1,575 million, compared to $1,619 million in Q4 2025, mainly reflecting lower operating cash flows as explained above, partially offset by lower capital expenditures than Q4 2025. In Q1 2026, capital expenditures on a cash basis

were $979 million compared to $1,107 million in Q4 2025, as discussed on page 33.

Factors affecting Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow<sup>1</sup> - Q1 2026 versus Q1 2025

In Q1 2026, we generated $2,554 million in operating cash flow, compared to $1,212 million in Q1 2025. The increase of $1,342 million was primarily due to higher realized gold prices<sup>1</sup>, partially offset by higher gold TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>. Operating cash flow was further impacted by an unfavorable movement in working capital, mainly in accounts payable which decreased as a result of the payment of supplier balances at Loulo-Gounkoto as operations ramped up in Q1 2026, as well as higher cash taxes paid this quarter.

In Q1 2026, we generated free cash flow<sup>1</sup> of $1,575 million compared to $375 million in Q1 2025. The increase primarily reflects higher operating cash flows as explained above, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. In Q1 2026, capital expenditures on a cash basis were $979 million compared to $837 million in Q1 2025, as discussed on page 33.

**Key Business Developments** 

North American Barrick IPO

In April 2026, Barrick announced several executive appointments, dedicated exclusively to our North American gold assets. These assets are comprised of four Tier One gold assets<sup>5</sup> located in premier mining jurisdictions in North America: Carlin, Cortez, and Turquoise Ridge in the NGM complex, and the Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic. North American Barrick will also include Barrick's wholly-owned Fourmile gold project, located adjacent to NGM. Barrick believes Fourmile is one of the most significant gold discoveries of this century and will be a significant high-grade and low-cost growth opportunity in North American Barrick's portfolio.

Barrick has identified what it believes to be the optimal structure for the IPO of its North American assets. North American Barrick is expected to have its primary listing in New York, with a secondary listing in Toronto, subject to customary SEC registration and Canadian prospectus qualification processes. Barrick is on track to complete the IPO by the end of 2026, subject to market and other conditions and necessary approvals.

New Share Buyback Program

At the May 8, 2026 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized a new share buyback program for the purchase of up to $3 billion of Barrick's outstanding common shares over the next 12 months.

The actual number of common shares that may be purchased, and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by Barrick based on a number of factors, including the Company's financial performance, the availability of cash flows, and the consideration of other uses of cash, including capital investment opportunities, returns to shareholders, and debt reduction.

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's discretion.

Executive Leadership Changes

On February 4, 2026, Mark Hill was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer, following his appointment as Group Chief Operating Officer and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer on September 29, 2025.

Mr. Hill, who was previously responsible for Barrick's LATAM and Asia Pacific region, is a seasoned mining executive with 30 years of experience. He joined Barrick in 2006 and has experience in strategy, corporate development and leading major projects across the world, and was also integral in the initial decision to undertake exploration at the Fourmile gold project in Nevada.

On March 1, 2026, Helen Cai was appointed as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, following the departure of Graham Shuttleworth.

Ms. Cai has served on the Barrick Board of Directors since November 2021 and brings more than two decades of experience in equity research, corporate finance, strategic planning, capital markets, and M&A across the mining, industrial, and technology sectors, primarily with Goldman Sachs and China International Capital Corporation.

On February 24, 2026, we announced the appointments of James J. McGuire as Chief Legal and Policy Officer and Woo Lee as Chief Global Affairs Officer. Both will report to Barrick's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Hill, and are now members of the Executive Committee.

Mr. McGuire brings over 30 years of legal (civil and criminal) experience representing leading corporations, financial institutions, and individuals on a wide range of complex legal and policy matters. As Chief Legal and Policy Officer, Mr. McGuire will oversee Barrick's legal, compliance, regulatory, and public policy functions. Poupak Bahamin has become Barrick's General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer and will remain a member of Barrick's Executive Committee.

Mr. Lee has worked at Barrick for over 11 years, most recently as Senior Vice President and Head of Government & Corporate Affairs, Asia Pacific, where he worked with government officials, business and community leaders to advance the Company's strategic objectives. As Chief Global Affairs Officer, Mr. Lee will lead Barrick's global government affairs strategy in all markets as well as manage government and sovereign relationships.

Board of Directors Changes

At the February 4, 2026 meeting, Robert Samek was appointed to the Board of Directors and has joined the Audit & Risk and Compensation Committees. In addition, Mark Hill, President and Chief Executive Officer, has joined the Company's Board of Directors as a Non-Independent Director.

Reko Diq

Following the preliminary findings of the review initiated in February 2026 and the further escalation of security issues in the region, on April 2, 2026 the Company announced that it considers it necessary to slow development activity and extend the project review. The continued review will allow the Company to assess in a comprehensive manner the evolving security situation, capital requirements, project financing, project scope and timeline.

**Sustainability** 

Sustainability, including our license to operate, is entrenched in our DNA: our sustainability strategy is our business plan. Please refer to page 17 of our 2025 Annual Report for a full description of governance, strategy, risk management and targets. Key updates for 2026 are summarized below:

Safety remains our priority. During Q1, injury severity continued to decline, with only two LTIs recorded over the past three months. Notably, AME, South America & Asia Pacific, and Reko Diq remained LTI-free during the period, and there were no fatalities across the group. The LTIFR<sup>3</sup> improved quarter on quarter, reflecting positive progress in managing higher-severity outcomes. While the TRIFR<sup>3</sup> increased from 0.79 to 0.92, the prevention of fatalities and serious harm requires sustained focus on critical risks and the effectiveness of critical controls, rather than minor injury counts alone.

As an organization, we are continuing to shift toward the use of leading indicators to better understand and manage fatal risk exposure. These indicators focus on whether:

i. Critical controls are in place and effective

ii. Controls are routinely verified in the field

iii. People feel safe to report near misses and control failures

iv. Actions arising from incident learnings are implemented and delivering the intended risk reduction

Leadership engagement in the field remains strong, with managers and superintendents actively completing quality CCVs. During Q1, approximately 11,000 CCVs were completed, with 24% identifying at-risk conditions. Importantly, 77% of these at-risk conditions were resolved in the field, demonstrating effective intervention at the point of risk and reinforcing the desired focus on eliminating hazards before they lead to serious incidents.

On April 2, 2026, Barrick published its standalone Human Rights Report, an update from the last publication in 2021. The Human Rights Report outlines the company's policies, standards and procedures implemented to identify and manage potential human rights risks, along with generalized summaries of the independent human rights assessments that are undertaken as part of Barrick's human rights program.

During Q1 2026, the Group's total Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) GHG emissions were 1,721 kt CO2-e. Absolute emissions are trending 9% lower than 2025 due to the divestments of Hemlo and Tongon, and lower emissions from the Goldstrike Roaster and TS Power Plant, partially offset by the restart of Loulo-Gounkoto.

**Full Year 2026 Outlook** 

We continue to expect our 2026 gold production to be in the range of 2.90 to 3.25 million ounces. In addition to the higher contribution from Loulo-Gounkoto versus 2025, we also expect Pueblo Viejo to deliver a slightly higher year-over-year performance with offsetting decreases at Veladero and North Mara. At Carlin, we expect 2026 production to be slightly lower than 2025 driven by open pit mine sequencing although this is expected to be partially offset by higher deliveries of Cortez material processed through the Carlin roasters. At Turquoise Ridge, we expect lower underground grades as per the planned mining sequence. Relative to 2025, we continue to expect stable delivery for the other assets.

With production slightly ahead of plan in Q1, gold production in Q2 is now expected to be 730 - 770koz and to further increase in Q3 and Q4. This is driven by the ramp-up of Loulo-Gounkoto, the timing of shutdowns, the Goldrush ramp-up and mine sequencing across the NGM sites. We also expect production at Kibali to be higher in H2 2026.

Our 2026 gold cost guidance remains unchanged noting the ranges in the table to the right are based on a gold price assumption of $4,500/oz. We have previously disclosed that our cost sensitivity is $5/oz for every $100/oz change in the gold price.

We continue to expect 2026 copper production to be in the range of 190 to 220 thousand tonnes. Production is expected to step up over the remaining three quarters with Q1 being the lowest quarter of the year mainly driven by grade at Lumwana as per the mine plan. We are also on track to achieve our copper cost guidance metrics for 2026, which are based on a LME copper price assumption of $5.50/lb. We have previously disclosed that our cost sensitivity is $0.01/lb per $0.25/lb change in the copper price.

In terms of the sensitivity of our costs to the oil price assumptions, we have calculated that for every $10/barrel change in these oil prices, the direct impact on our costs associated with our diesel consumption is $12/oz across our gold operations and $0.04/lb across our copper sites.

We previously disclosed guidance for 2026 total attributable capital expenditure of $4.0 to $4.45 billion which was inclusive of $600-700 million for the Reko Diq project. The timing and quantum of capital expenditures for the Reko Diq project (including 2026) remains under review as part of the overall project review (refer to Key Business Developments).

Further detail on our 2026 company guidance is provided below and on the next page, inclusive of the key assumptions that were used as the basis for this guidance as released on February 5, 2026 and as qualified by the comments above.

**Operating Performance**

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Our presentation of reportable operating segments consists of eight gold mines (Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Kibali, North Mara and Bulyanhulu) and one copper mine (Lumwana). The remaining operating segments, including our remaining gold and copper mines, have been grouped into an "Other | Mines" 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. |

Across the NGM sites, gold production for Q1 2026 was 10% higher than Q1 2025, primarily due to improved underground mining and processing performance. Highlights were:

∎ Carlin achieved the highest underground tonnes mined since the formation of the joint venture

∎ Cortez continued to benefit from the Goldrush ramp-up also delivering the
highest underground tonnes mined

∎ Turquoise Ridge underground had its best quarterly performance in terms of total tonnes mined since 2021

∎ The two Carlin roasters had their highest Q1 gold production since 2022, and the Sage autoclave had its highest
quarterly throughput since 2021

Financial Results

*Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025* 

Gold production in Q1 2026 was 16% lower compared to Q4 2025 primarily due to lower grades mined and processed. This was driven by lower Leeville underground grades due to mine sequencing and a focus on development, as well as lower volumes and grades from the Arturo open pit as mining reached the floor of the pit.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> in Q1 2026 were 4% and 5% lower, respectively, than Q4 2025, driven by higher capital development and lower autoclave costs from blend changes that resulted in lower acid and lime consumption, partially offset by lower fixed cost dilution due to lower sales volumes. In Q1 2026, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 6% higher than Q4 2025, due to higher sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>, partially offset by lower TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>.

Capital expenditures increased by 24% compared to Q4 2025 mainly due to higher underground development and open pit waste stripping at Gold Quarry and higher project capital expenditures from increased growth exploration drilling.

*Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025* 

Gold production for Q1 2026 was 19% higher than Q1 2025, primarily due to improved underground mining and processing performance, delivering the best underground

tonnage start since the formation of NGM in 2019 and the best Q1 roaster production since 2022. This was further supported by higher tonnes and grades mined from the Arturo open pit, as mining was completed in Q1 2026 whereas there was mainly waste stripping in Q1 2025.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> for Q1 2026 was 4% higher than Q1 2025, as higher depreciation expense associated with the Arturo open pit was partially offset by lower TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>. TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 10% lower, primarily due to higher fixed cost dilution driven by higher sales volumes and lower roaster maintenance costs compared to Q1 2025 related to the timing of the planned shutdown, partially offset by higher royalties due to the higher average gold price. For Q1 2026, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 28% lower than Q1 2025 owing to lower TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> combined with lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>.

Capital expenditures were 35% lower than Q1 2025, mainly due to lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> following the purchase of the Komatsu-930 truck fleet in Q1 2025, partially offset by higher project capital expenditures from increased growth exploration drilling.

Financial Results

*Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025* 

Gold production in Q1 2026 was 32% lower than Q4 2025, primarily driven by lower tonnes and grades mined from the Cortez Hills underground due to mine sequencing as well as lower open pit production following the completion of

mining of high grade ore from Cortez Pits phase 1 in Q4 2025.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> in Q1 2026 were 35% and 31% higher, respectively, than Q4 2025, primarily reflecting lower fixed cost dilution driven by lower sales volume, higher royalties as production shifts to higher royalty regions, partially offset by an increase in capitalized stripping at Cortez Pits phase 2 and higher underground development. In Q1 2026, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 41% higher than Q4 2025, driven by higher TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, combined with higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>.

Capital expenditures in Q1 2026 were 6% higher than Q4 2025 due to higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> primarily related to the start of waste stripping at Cortez Pits phase 2 and the timing of equipment down payments and deliveries. This was partially offset by

lower project capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> that decreased by 14% in Q1 2026 related to equipment down payments for Goldrush made in Q4 2025.

*Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025* 

Gold production for Q1 2026 was 3% lower than Q1 2025, primarily driven by lower oxide mill production due to the completion of Cortez Pits phase 1 in Q4 2025, partially offset by the ramp-up at Goldrush driving a Q1 record for underground deliveries. This was combined with a 220% increase in open pit ore mined, consistent with the planned mining sequence as stripping was completed at Crossroads.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 were 39% and 34% higher, respectively, than Q1 2025, reflecting an increased proportion of higher cost refractory ounces processed at the Carlin roasters, lower fixed cost dilution driven by lower sales volumes, and higher royalties due to increased gold prices and increased production from higher royalty regions. For Q1 2026, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 27% higher than Q1 2025 driven by higher TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>.

Capital expenditures in Q1 2026 were 13% higher than Q1 2025, primarily due to higher project capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> related to the autonomous haul truck project and continued ramp-up at Goldrush.

Financial Results

*Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025* 

Gold production in Q1 2026 was 14% lower than Q4 2025, mainly due to lower grades processed driven by mine sequencing at the Turquoise Ridge underground mine. This was partly offset by higher throughput at the Sage autoclave as a result of the planned shutdown that occurred in Q4 2025. Continued improvements in underground mining and process performance drove record quarterly underground tonnage and highest Sage Autoclave throughput since 2021.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> in Q1 2026 were 7% and 4% lower, respectively, than Q4 2025, primarily due to lower maintenance costs given the planned autoclave shutdown in Q4 2025. AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 6% lower than Q4 2025, primarily reflecting lower TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, combined with decreased minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>.

*Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025* 

Gold production for Q1 2026 was 22% higher than Q1 2025, primarily driven by improved underground performance, resulting in record tonnage mined and increased throughput at the Sage autoclave during Q1 2026, resulting in its best quarterly performance since 2021.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 were 17% and 18% lower, respectively, than Q1 2025, primarily owing to higher grades processed and increased fixed cost dilution. AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 18% lower than Q1 2025, reflecting lower TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, while minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> were in line with the prior period.

Financial Results

*Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025* 

Q1 2026 was impacted by lower tonnes and grades processed compared to Q4 2025. Tonnes processed decreased by 13% due to the Q1 2026 scheduled plant shutdown. Lower grades processed were related to mine sequencing which included the opening of new faces in the Moore pit. This was partially offset by a 7% improvement in recovery rates, in particular the flotation sulphide recovery and mass pull.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 were 14% and 10% higher respectively compared to Q4 2025, primarily reflecting lower fixed cost dilution and higher operating costs due to the scheduled plant shutdown in Q1 2026. For Q1 2026, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 10% higher than Q4 2025, driven by higher TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>.

Capital expenditures for Q1 2026 decreased by 15% compared to Q4 2025, due to lower sustaining capital

expenditures<sup>1</sup> mainly related to the timing of major projects including mobile equipment and kiln refractory works.

*Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025* 

Gold production for Q1 2026 was 9% higher than Q1 2025, driven by higher tonnes processed as the prior year quarter was impacted by the extended shutdown for debottlenecking work whereas the Q1 2026 shutdown was shorter. In addition to this impact, grades processed were higher in Q1 2026, although this was partially offset by lower recoveries due to more tonnes processed through flotation.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 were 9% and 14% lower, respectively, compared to Q1 2025, primarily reflecting higher fixed cost dilution and also aided by higher costs allocated to silver by-products. For Q1 2026, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 13% lower than Q1 2025, driven by lower TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, and lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> on a per ounce basis.

Capital expenditures for Q1 2026 increased by 33% compared to Q1 2025, primarily due to increased project capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> related to the Naranjo TSF.

Financial Results

*Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025* 

Gold production for Q1 2026 was substantially higher than Q4 2025 as a result of Barrick only regaining operational control midway through December 2025. The ramping up of operations during Q1 2026 has progressed ahead of schedule with both mining and processing outperforming compared to the restart plan.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> was 33% lower than Q4 2025, due to the fair value increment on inventory resulting from the purchase price allocation when we regained control of Loulo-Gounkoto and the large one-off shipment of gold inventory that occurred in Q4 2025 following the lifting of

the restrictions imposed by the Government of Mali on gold shipments. This is also the driver of the higher sales volumes in Q4 2025 relative to Q1 2026. TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 was 32% higher reflecting the impact from ramping up of mining and processing activities during Q1 2026. For Q1 2026, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 33% higher than Q4 2025, mainly due to higher TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>.

There were no capital expenditures for Q1 2026 and Q4 2025, due to the impact of the restart procedures and rebasing of the mine plan to accommodate the ramp up to normal operations. Critical capital commitments have been prioritized for Q2 2026 and remain on track.

*Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025* 

Gold production for Q1 2026 was 256% higher than Q1 2025 due to the suspension of operations midway through January 2025 as a result of the dispute with the Government of Mali that was ultimately resolved in December 2025. This resulted in no gold sales in Q1 2025 and also explains zero TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> and COS/oz<sup>2</sup> for Q1 2025 given there were no sales.

Financial Results

*Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025* 

Gold production for Q1 2026 was 27% lower than Q4 2025 mainly due to lower grades processed and lower tonnes mined. This was in line with plan as we shift focus to ramping up the underground development to ensure we are well placed to achieve our production targets and build operational flexibility. We continue to focus on improving equipment utilization and commissioning additional underground trucking capacity as we expect to deliver higher underground production in H2 2026.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 were 22% and 30% higher, respectively, mainly due to the lower grades processed, further increased by higher royalties driven by a higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. For Q1 2026, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 17% higher than in Q4 2025, driven by a higher TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>

partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> resulting from lower equipment purchases and rebuild costs compared to Q4 2025.

*Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025* 

Gold production for Q1 2026 was 8% lower than Q1 2025, mainly due to lower grades processed resulting from lower high grade underground tonnes mined. This was partially offset by a successful ramp-up in the open pits that delivered 77% more ore tonnes, providing critical operational flexibility.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 were 13% and 17% higher, respectively, compared to Q1 2025 mainly resulting from increased labor and fuel costs driving higher unit costs coupled with higher royalties resulting from a higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. For Q1 2026, AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 13% higher than Q1 2025, driven by higher TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>.

Capital expenditures for Q1 2026 were 19% higher than Q1 2025, predominantly driven by increased project capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> driven by the Pamao TSF project.

Financial Results

*Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025* 

In Q1 2026, North Mara continued to rely on the underground operations with the open pit mining activity centered around waste material movement in the Gokona pit. In Q1 2026, gold production was 41% lower than Q4 2025 mainly driven by lower grades processed and lower throughput as we aim to build flexibility in the operation to support achieving our targets over the remainder of 2026.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 were 39% and 42% higher, respectively, compared to Q4 2025 mainly due to the impact of the lower grades processed, higher energy costs driven by increased diesel powered generation to overcome Tanesco power fluctuations and higher royalties associated with the higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> in Q1 2026 was 29% higher than Q4 2025, mainly due to higher TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>.

Capital expenditures for Q1 2026 were 20% lower compared to Q4 2025 mainly driven by planned down payments in Q4 2025 to secure build slots for underground mobile equipment. Project capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> were only slightly lower quarter on quarter with the Gokona open pit pre-stripping project on track to deliver as planned.

*Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025* 

Gold production for Q1 2026 was 51% lower compared to Q1 2025 mainly due to lower grades processed and lower recoveries.

COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 were 82% and 78% higher, respectively, compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to the lower grades processed, combined with higher royalties associated with the higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> in Q1 2026 was 58% higher than Q1 2025, mainly due to the higher TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, while minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> were lower than Q1 2025.

For Q1 2026, capital expenditures increased by 32% compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to higher project capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> relating to the Gokona pre-stripping project.

Financial Results

*Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025* 

Copper production in Q1 2026 was 24% lower than in Q4 2025 due to a planned plant shutdown for liner replacements which successfully took place in February 2026 leading to fewer tonnes processed. Q1 2026 feed grade was lower quarter on quarter, however this was as per the mine plan.

COS/lb<sup>2</sup> and C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup> were 20% and 36% higher, respectively, than Q4 2025. Higher costs were driven by higher mining costs and higher processing costs. Mining costs were up due to higher maintenance costs from premature component failures which is being addressed with OEMs as well as due to the stronger local currency negatively impacting our cost base. Processing costs were up due to an unfavorable power split leading to increased higher cost generator power. In Q1 2026, AISC/lb<sup>1</sup> increased by 18% compared to Q4 2025, primarily driven by the increase in C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup>, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>.

Capital expenditures for Q1 2026 were 44% lower than Q4 2025, as Q4 2025 had the highest quarterly spend in 2025, including several milestone fleet payments with the next set of fleet down payments due in April 2026 as part of the Lumwana Super Pit Expansion project. Refer to the Future Growth section on page 26 for more details. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> were lower in Q1 2026 due to lower capitalized waste stripping as well as a high rebuild spend in Q4 2025 in preparation for Q1 change outs.

*Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025* 

Copper production for Q1 2026 was 19% higher than Q1 2025, mainly due to higher throughput and higher grades processed. The higher throughput is due to the prolonged shutdown in Q1 2025 whereas the shutdown in Q1 2026 was shorter in duration.

COS/lb<sup>2</sup> and C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup> for Q1 2026 increased by 18% and 20%, respectively, compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to the local currency appreciation driving higher payroll costs as well as higher power costs as mentioned above. For Q1 2026, AISC/lb<sup>1</sup> was 20% higher than Q1 2025 mainly due to higher C1 cash cost/lb<sup>1</sup>, as well as higher royalties due to the higher realized copper price.

Capital expenditures for Q1 2026 were 113% higher than Q1 2025, mainly due to increased project capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> on the Super Pit Expansion project, including earthworks, construction, mobile fleet, milestone payments on plant equipment, EPCM costs, and housing construction.

Zaldívar (50%), Chile

Copper production for Zaldívar in Q1 2026 was 33% lower than Q4 2025 driven by lower throughput due to planned maintenance and lower grade from mine sequencing. COS/lb<sup>2</sup> and C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup> were 23% and 28% lower, respectively, than Q4 2025, driven by an inventory write-down occurring in Q4 2025. AISC/lb<sup>1</sup> in Q1 2026 was 17% lower compared to Q4 2025, due to lower C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup>, partially offset by higher minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> on a per pound basis.

Our investment in this asset, of which we are not the operator, continues to be a non-core part of our portfolio.

Jabal Sayid (50%), Saudi Arabia

Jabal Sayid's copper production in Q1 2026 was in line with Q4 2025. COS/lb<sup>2</sup> for Q1 2026 was 6% lower than Q4 2025 due to the lower C1 cost combined with lower depreciation expense. C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup> decreased by 16% due to lower processing and general and administration costs. AISC/lb<sup>1</sup> in Q1 2026 decreased by 22% compared to Q4 2025, mainly due to lower C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup> coupled with lower sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> as projects closed in Q4 with new ones ramping up.

**Future Growth** 

**Fourmile, Nevada, USA** 

Fourmile is a 100% owned Barrick asset in Nevada, located adjacent to Goldrush, that has the potential to be a standalone Tier One Gold Asset<sup>5</sup>. Barrick announced the summary results of a preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") for Fourmile in September 2025, which outlined a conceptual underground mining operation with an indicative project capital estimate of approximately $1.5 to $1.7 billion, approximately 600,000 to 750,000 oz per annum of gold production, and life of mine COS<sup>2</sup> of approximately $850-900 per ounce and AISC<sup>1</sup> of approximately $650 to $750 per ounce at a long-term gold price assumption of $2,585 per ounce<sup>6</sup>. Estimated AISC<sup>1</sup> figures are inclusive of a net profits interest royalty that will apply to production from certain portions of the Fourmile deposit and provide the royalty holder with a royalty equal to 10% of net profits from the property subject to the royalty until 6 million ounces of gold has been produced and increasing to 15% thereafter, as well as two gross smelter return royalties that will apply to the entire Fourmile deposit ranging from 1.2% to 1.3%. Ongoing PFS studies point to the potential for significant resource growth in support of a PFS expected to be completed in 2028.

With the implementation of additional safety measures, drilling activity continued through winter, adding over three months, accelerating progress towards the project's key targets. Working in the lower elevation southern areas of Fourmile, the team was able to continue resource definition drilling while also being able to access extensional step out opportunities in the deeper Charlie zone. Drilling is planned to continue expanding throughout 2026 with lessons learned from the winter campaign being applied and having the benefit of safe and efficient drilling through the summer months.

The second year of the four year PFS project began with a focus on ventilation, mine design and paste backfill. Ventilation access trade offs were assessed to determine preferable opportunities for raise locations and design to facilitate ventilation throughout the life of mine. In addition, paste material testing and mix design also progressed, increasing confidence in the ability to satisfy the backfill requirements of the future operations.

In Q1 2026, execution planning for the dedicated decline access from twin portals to the north west of Fourmile continued. Contract negotiations are underway with key mining and construction contractors ahead of construction commencing in late 2026. These partners are also working with the team in refining the execution plan adding extra detail and working through risk assessments.

As previously disclosed, Barrick anticipates Fourmile will be incorporated into the NGM joint venture, at fair market value, if certain criteria are met following the completion of drilling and the requisite independent feasibility work.

Across drilling and studies activities, we spent $28 million in Q1 2026. Total spend for 2026 includes an anticipated drilling spend of $150 to $160 million together with $20 million of spend on studies work (both expensed) and $70 million on construction and decline commencement (capital). This phase of the project has been approved with an estimated total cost of $360 to $430 million extending through mid-2029.

**Goldrush Project, Nevada, USA**<sup>7,12</sup>

Goldrush, which is included within Cortez, is expected to be a long-life underground mine with anticipated annual production in excess of 400,000 ounces of gold per year (100% basis) once in full production by 2028.

In Q1 2026, execution planning continued for key infrastructure projects. The second surface ventilation shaft project kicked off with the contactor mobilized to site and excavation starting in Q2 2026. Ventilation modeling for the third surface ventilation shaft has started to define operational requirements and optimize the LOM plan. The paste plant Feasibility Design Report was completed and detailed engineering kicked off to define major equipment specifications. An Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management contract for key projects was issued for bid with a final award targeted in Q2 2026.

The portal access road widening plan was developed in Q1 2026 and preliminary site work completed to allow access with open pit equipment. The road widening and portal pad construction is expected to be completed in Q3 2026. Goldrush's underground water filtration system design progressed to 60%. Development started on the top level of the system and full excavation is planned to be completed and turned over to contractors in Q3 2026. Construction of a new shotcrete batch plant was completed in Q1 with full commissioning and handover in early April. The new plant and additional cement storage silo will improve production of shotcrete and cemented rockfill backfill for mining operations.

As of March 31, 2026, project spend was $500 million on a 100% basis (including $10 million in Q1 2026) inclusive of the exploration declines. This capital spent to date, together with the remaining expected pre-production capital, is still anticipated to be near the approximate $1 billion initial capital estimate for the Goldrush project (100% basis).

Along the northeastern edge of Goldrush, additional results were received from both surface and underground drilling in the southern KB area. Testing multiple target horizons and concepts, hole GUC-25147, drilled from the Goldrush underground, returned 29.3 meters at 12.05 g/t from 471.2 meters and 16.8 meters at 20.52 g/t from 538.3 meters, confirming mineral controls within the known KB zone. Further down hole, a deeper breccia target returned 11.1 meters at 57.76 g/t from 662.9 meters, supporting a high-grade, structurally controlled exploration model at depth. Lessons learned at Fourmile continue to be applied at Goldrush, with current drilling focused on extending mineralization to the north, targeting multiple ore-controlling features from KB toward North Crow. Drilling is expected to ramp up in Q2 2026 to further evaluate this opportunity.

**Ren, Nevada, USA**<sup>8</sup>

Ren is a new ore deposit at Goldstrike Underground and a key expansion project at Carlin. Located north of Goldstrike Underground's Meikle and Banshee deposits, Ren is anticipated to produce an average of 140,000 ounces per

year (contained ounces, 100% basis) once in full production in 2027.

To develop the deposit, the existing exploration drift has been duplicated, allowing for increased ventilation and secondary egress into the working area. Additional exploration drilling platforms have been constructed from the duplicate drift to support further drilling for both existing resource conversion and further deposit growth.

To support production mining of the deposit, an additional set of twin declines will be driven from the Betze-Post West Barrel open pit layback, extending to the north with the intent to provide life of mine ventilation and a direct path for material to be hauled and hoisted out via the existing Meikle Headframe. To complete the project, a seven-meter finished diameter ventilation shaft will be sunk 550 meters to serve as an exhaust raise and utility conduit for mining the orebody.

During Q1 2026, exploration drift rehabilitation was completed for continued ventilation and utility service. Work at the West Barrel declines is continuing with commissioning of surface support infrastructure and beginning of routine decline development. The Ren ventilation shaft completed pre-sinking work scope and transitioned to production sinking infrastructure erection and commissioning. Production sinking commenced in early Q2 2026 with expected completion by year end.

As of March 31, 2026, project spend was $193 million (including $26 million in Q1 2026) out of an estimated capital cost of $410 to $470 million (100% basis).

**Pueblo Viejo Expansion, Dominican Republic**<sup>9</sup>

The Pueblo Viejo life of mine expansion continues to shift focus from housing and resettlement, to the Naranjo TSF and related facilities. The permits were received for the TWMS and construction is now underway, while the permitting package for the starter dam was submitted with a target receipt date of Q1 2027. Haul Road 19 continues to advance and a contract has been awarded for the second phase along with Haul Road 17 including all bridges, with mobilization ongoing. Construction of the new effluent treatment plant and the new diorite crusher are underway, while the proposal for the Reverse Osmosis Plant is expected in Q2 2026 along with advancement of engineering with the selected partner.

The housing project at Pueblo Viejo continues with over 600 homes constructed and more than 450 families now resettled. All focus is on completing the remaining 80 houses along with advancing the church and polytechnical school design. 90% of resettlement packages have now been accepted, with the public utility decree issued and full support from authorities to work with all individuals and avoid delays to the project.

As at March 31, 2026, total project spend was $1,265 million (including $36 million in Q1 2026) on a 100% basis. The estimated capital cost of the plant expansion and mine life extension project remains approximately $2.6 billion (100% basis).

**Veladero Phase 8 Leach Pad, Argentina** 

The construction of the Phase 8 leach pad is being executed in three phases which are named 8A, 8B and 8C. Phase 8A has been completed. Phase 8B was approved in Q3 2025, with activities well advanced and completion expected in Q2 2026. The phased execution of the project provides flexibility to align future stages with economic

conditions and the applicable regulatory framework. Construction of the project includes cutting, filling, sub-drainage and monitoring, leak collection and recirculation, impermeabilization, as well as pregnant leaching solution collection.

Overall, the total Phase 8 leach pad project spend at March 31, 2026 was $119 million ($29 million in Q1 2026) out of an estimated capital cost of $250-$260 million (100% basis).

**Reko Diq Project, Pakistan**<sup>10</sup>

On February 5, 2026, the Company announced that it was reviewing all aspects of the project in light of the escalation of security risks and increased security incidents. On April 2, 2026, Barrick announced that following the preliminary findings of the review and further escalation of security issues in the region, the Company considers it necessary to slow the development activity and extend the project review.

Capital expenditures commenced in Q2 2024, with total capitalized spend to date of $1,083 million (including $234 million in Q1 2026) (100% basis). We previously disclosed a range for 2026 attributable capital expenditure of $600 to $700 million (50% basis) and work is continuing on estimating the timing and quantum of spend for the current year.

**Kibali Solar Project, DRC** 

This project entails the design, supply and installation of a 16 MW photovoltaic solar farm with a 15 MW battery energy storage system to complement the existing hydroelectric power stations raising the renewable component of the mine's energy mix from 81% to 85%. The completion of this project is projected to deliver a 53% reduction in fuel consumption in the power plant. During Q1 2026, we continued with the optimization of the power management system which enabled the solar photovoltaic field to inject 14,925MWh into the Kibali grid. As at March 31, 2026, project spend was $46 million and is substantially complete, coming in below the estimated capital cost of $55 million (100% basis).

**Lumwana Super Pit Expansion, Zambia**<sup>11</sup>

The Lumwana Super Pit Expansion is projected to deliver 240,000 tonnes of copper production per annum, from a 52Mtpa process plant expansion, with a mine life of more than 30 years.

The project is tracking slightly ahead of schedule with the target of first copper production at the end of Q1 2028. The main critical path for the process plant expansion is the mill building, where good progress was made during Q1 2026 with the completion of the first lift of the foundation walls and the second lift currently in progress. The primary crusher foundation has been poured, lift of the first walls is in progress and this was further complemented with the installation and commissioning of the tower crane. Long-lead equipment deliveries are tracking on schedule with the arrival of the mill shells on site during Q1 2026. The manufacturing of the structural steel commenced and the first loads of steel are currently en route to site. The building of the third phase of accommodation is ongoing and made steady progress during Q1 2026 with hand over of the first block of the third phase for occupancy. The TSF design and reviews have been completed and the construction of the first diversion channel for the expanded

facility is currently in progress. The contract for the construction of the Kamisengo inflow control dam has also been awarded. All orders for the 2026 mining fleet expansion have been completed and deliveries commenced during Q4 2025, with the PC7000 excavator now commissioned. The 930E haul trucks are currently in assembly.

With continued progress on the detailed engineering, procurement and construction, the total project remains on schedule and we are focused on delivery of critical milestones in line with the execution schedule. As at March 31, 2026, the total spend on the expansion project was $490 million (including $74 million in Q1 2026) with 2026 expenditure now expected to be at the lower end of the $750 to $850 million range. The total project capital cost (exclusive of capitalized stripping) is expected to be $2 billion based on the approved feasibility study.

**Exploration**<sup>13, 14</sup>

During Q1 2026, Barrick's exploration teams have been active across all our operations, with strong results returned from drilling across NGM, and at Fourmile, Kibali in the DRC and Jabal Sayid in Saudi Arabia.

In North America, exploration activities remain focused within NGM, with programs across the Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, and Battle Mountain districts. Results from the Cortez District are discussed in the Goldrush Project section. In the Carlin District, exploration at the Leeville Underground project continues to demonstrate continuity of high-grade mineralization beyond current resource boundaries. At Turquoise Ridge, drilling at the Dune target has validated an extension of the mineralized system near existing infrastructure, as represented by hole TUM-25236A, which returned 21.3 meters at 11.4g/t Au from 320.9 meters, with an estimated true width that is approximately 20-25% of the reported interval, based on the current geological interpretation.

Early-stage exploration continues in Canada, with framework drilling at the Norris property and additional programs initiated during the quarter, including framework drilling at Authier and a shallow geochemical drilling campaign at LaFlamme.

In South America, early-stage exploration activities continued in Peru and Jamaica. In Peru, work in the Yauri District has advanced several drill-ready targets, with additional geophysical anomalies under evaluation. In Jamaica, exploration is focused on three prioritized camp-scale areas targeting epithermal gold and porphyry copper–gold systems. In Argentina, within the Veladero District, drilling continues at the Porfiada target, where five of seven planned holes have been completed. Hole DDH-POR-07A returned 54.6 meters at 2.03 g/t Au from 163.4 meters, including 11.6 meters at 3.24 g/t Au and 18.0 meters at 3.39 g/t Au, all within oxidized material. The program will continue into Q2 2026, with the objective of defining the extent of mineralization.

In the Africa and Middle East region, the ARK target in Kibali continues to demonstrate strong growth potential through a combination of tighter infill drilling and wider-spaced drill holes stepping out down-plunge. The most recent drill holes intersected the system approximately 600 meters beyond any previous drilling, extending the known plunge extent of the mineralized system to over two kilometers from surface. ARK is emerging as a major discovery within the Kibali Camp, with extensive untested growth potential remaining. Continued delineation and expansion of the deposit will remain a primary focus in the quarters ahead. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a new, mineralized system has been discovered approximately ten kilometers south of the Jabal Sayid Mine. Drilling is currently underway to evaluate the scale and grade potential of the mineralization.

Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025

In Q1 2026, gold revenues on a consolidated basis decreased by 11% compared to Q4 2025, driven by lower sales volumes partially offset by a higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. The average market price for Q1 2026 was $4,873/ oz, representing an all-time high quarterly average and an 18% increase versus the $4,135/oz average in Q4 2025. The realized gold price<sup>1</sup> in Q1 2026 was 1% lower than the market gold price due to the realized loss impact of the zero cost collars (refer to note 13 for further details). During Q1 2026, the gold price ranged from $4,099/oz to an all-time nominal high of $5,595/oz, and closed the quarter at $4,608/oz. Gold price volatility in Q1 2026 was driven primarily by economic and geopolitical concerns, in particular the conflict in the Middle East.

In Q1 2026, gold production on an attributable basis (excluding the divested mines) decreased by 13% compared to Q4 2025 mainly as a result of lower grades mined and processed at Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo combined with lower grades mined at North Mara and Kibali. This was partially offset by higher production at Loulo-Gounkoto as a result of ramping up of operations during Q1 2026 following resolution of the dispute with the Government of Mali late in Q4 2025.

a. Divested mines refer to the ounces produced by Hemlo and Tongon in Q4 2025.

In Q1 2026, copper revenues on a consolidated basis decreased by 33% compared to Q4 2025, primarily due to lower sales volumes compared to Q4 2025, partially offset by a higher realized copper price<sup>1</sup>. The average market price in Q1 2026 was $5.83/lb, representing an all-time high quarterly average and an increase of 16% from the $5.03/lb average in Q4 2025. The realized copper price<sup>1</sup> in Q1 2026 was slightly lower than the market copper price due to the impact of negative provisional pricing adjustments, whereas the realized copper price<sup>1</sup> was higher than the market copper price in Q4 2025 due to timing of sales and the impact of positive provisional pricing adjustments. During Q1 2026, the copper price traded in a range of $5.31/lb to an all-time nominal high of $6.59/lb, and closed the quarter at $5.52/lb. Copper prices in Q1 2026 were impacted by concerns about the global economy resulting from global trade disputes, supply disruptions, the conflict in the Middle East, and demand forecasts in China, which is the world's largest consumer of copper.

Attributable copper production in Q1 2026 was 13 thousand tonnes lower compared to Q4 2025 mainly due to lower throughput at Lumwana resulting from a planned plant shutdown for liner replacements which was successfully completed in February 2026.

For Q1 2026, gold revenues on a consolidated basis increased by 72% compared to Q1 2025, primarily due to a higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. The average market price for Q1 2026 was $4,873/oz versus $2,860/oz for Q1 2025.

**ATTRIBUTABLE GOLD PRODUCTION VARIANCE** (000s oz)

Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025

![LOGO](g145525dsp029.jpg)

a. Divested mines refer to the ounces produced by Hemlo and Tongon in Q1 2025.

For Q1 2026, attributable gold production (excluding the divested mines) was 4% higher than Q1 2025, primarily due to the ramp up of operations at Loulo-Gounkoto following the resolution of the dispute with the Government of Mali that was ultimately resolved in December 2025 and had shutdown the mine in January 2025. This was combined with higher production at Carlin due to improved underground mining and processing performance and Turquoise Ridge due to higher tonnes mined and increased throughput at the Sage autoclave. These impacts were partially offset by lower production from North Mara driven by lower grades processed.

For Q1 2026, copper revenues on a consolidated basis increased by 13% compared to Q1 2025, due to a higher realized copper price<sup>1</sup> partially offset by lower sales volumes. In Q1 2026, the realized copper price<sup>1</sup> was lower than the market copper price, as discussed above, whereas the realized copper price<sup>1</sup> was higher than the market copper price in Q1 2025 due to the impact of positive provisional pricing adjustments.

Attributable copper production for Q1 2026 was 5 thousand tonnes higher than Q1 2025, mainly due to increased throughput and higher grades processed at Lumwana.

a. Gold COS/oz is calculated as cost of sales across our gold operations (excluding sites in closure or care and maintenance)
divided by ounces sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick's ownership share). Copper COS/lb is calculated as cost of sales across our copper operations divided by pounds sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick's
ownership share).

b. Further information on these non-GAAP financial measures, including detailed
reconciliations, is included on pages 36 to 45 of this MD&A.

Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025

In Q1 2026, gold cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 23% lower than Q4 2025, primarily due to lower sales volumes. Our 45% interest in Kibali and 24.5% interest in Porgera are equity accounted, and therefore each mine's cost of sales is excluded from our consolidated gold cost of sales. Our per ounce metrics, gold COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, includes our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees, and were 1% and 10% higher than Q4 2025, mainly due to lower fixed cost dilution driven by lower sales volume combined with higher royalties associated with the higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. The impact on COS/oz<sup>2</sup> was partially offset by the fact that Q4 2025 included the impact of the fair value increment on inventory resulting from the purchase price allocation when we regained control of Loulo-Gounkoto and the large one-off shipment of gold inventory that occurred in Q4 2025 following the lifting of the restrictions imposed by the Government of Mali on gold shipments.

In Q1 2026, gold AISC/oz<sup>1</sup>, which also includes our proportionate share of equity method investees, increased by 8% compared to Q4 2025. This was primarily due to higher TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, as explained above.

In Q1 2026, copper cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 23% lower than Q4 2025 primarily due to the impact of lower copper sales volumes. Our 50% interests in Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid are equity accounted and therefore, we do not include their cost of sales in our consolidated copper cost of sales. Our per pound metrics, copper COS/lb<sup>2</sup> and C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup>, include our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method

investees. Copper COS/lb<sup>2</sup> and C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup> were 1% and 5% higher, respectively, compared to Q4 2025, primarily due to higher mining and processing costs at Lumwana.

In Q1 2026, copper AISC/lb<sup>1</sup>, which also includes our proportionate share of equity method investees, was 2% higher compared to Q4 2025, mainly due to an increase in C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup>, partially offset by lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> .

Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025

For Q1 2026, gold cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 20% higher than Q1 2025, mainly due to higher depreciation at Carlin, Loulo-Gounkoto and Cortez, combined with higher royalties associated with the higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. As described above, our per ounce metrics, gold COS/oz<sup>2</sup> and TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>, include our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees, and were 18% and 9% higher, respectively, compared to Q1 2025. This was mainly due to the impact of higher royalties, mining and production taxes (impact approximately $90/oz) associated with the higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. In addition, COS/oz<sup>2</sup> was higher due to the inclusion of Loulo-Gounkoto sales at higher costs (as a result of the fair value increment on inventory resulting from the purchase price allocation when we regained control of Loulo-Gounkoto in Q4 2025) whereas in Q1 2025 there were no sales from Loulo-Gounkoto as shipments were restricted.

For Q1 2026, gold AISC/oz<sup>1</sup> was 4% lower than Q1 2025, primarily due to lower minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>.

For Q1 2026, copper cost of sales on a consolidated basis was 4% higher than Q1 2025, primarily due to higher site operating costs as well as higher royalties associated with the higher realized copper price. As described above, our per pound metrics, copper COS/lb<sup>2</sup> and C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup>, include our proportionate share of cost of sales at our equity method investees. Copper COS/ lb<sup>2</sup> and C1 cash costs/lb<sup>1</sup> were 17% and 14% higher, respectively, compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to higher payroll costs as well as higher power costs at Lumwana in part due to the strengthening of the local currency.

For Q1 2026, copper AISC/lb<sup>1</sup> was 20% higher than Q1 2025, mainly due to higher C1 cash cost/lb<sup>1</sup>, as well as higher royalties due to the higher realized copper prices<sup>1</sup>.

US$19.04).

General and administrative expenses for Q1 2026 decreased compared to Q4 2025 as a result of lower share-based compensation expenses due to the decrease in our share price during the current quarter compared to a significant increase in Q4 2025.

---

Exploration, evaluation and project expenses for Q1 2026 decreased by $23 million compared to Q4 2025 driven by lower global exploration and evaluation costs, mainly due to reduced greenfields exploration activity around Reko Diq, and lower project costs as Q4 included legal and consulting costs related to the Hemlo and Tongon divestitures (included in "Other"). These were partially offset by legal and consulting costs related to our North America IPO project in Q1 2026.

Exploration, evaluation and project expenses for Q1 2026 were substantially higher compared to Q1 2025 driven by higher global exploration expense mainly related to the ramp-up of drilling activities at Fourmile as well as higher project costs related to our North American IPO project.

million).

In Q1 2026, finance costs, net decreased compared to Q4 2025 and Q1 2025 primarily due to higher interest capitalized in Q1 2026 and higher finance costs in Argentina associated with cash repatriation in Q4 2025 and Q1 2025 .

Other (Income) Expense

Other income in Q1 2026 of $4 million was mainly related to the revaluation of the Hemlo contingent consideration, which was partially offset by a loss on the revaluation of our Kibali JV receivable. This compares to other income of $839 million in Q4 2025 which mainly related to the gain on the sale of non-current assets totaling $732 million, comprised of our Hemlo gold mine ($545 million), our interest in the Tongon gold mine ($134 million) and the Alturas project ($53 million). This was combined with the accounting impact of regaining control of the Loulo-Gounkoto complex on December 16, 2025, partially offset by the settlement payment of $253 million to the Government of Mali in November 2025. Other expense in Q1 2025 of $170 million was mainly related to the signing of agreements to settle legacy legal matters in the Philippines related to Placer Dome Inc., combined with reduced operations costs at Loulo-Gounkoto.

For a further breakdown of other expense, refer to note 9 to the Financial Statements.

**Income Tax Expense** 

Income tax expense was $747 million in Q1 2026. The unadjusted effective income tax rate in Q1 2026 was 23% of income before income taxes.

The underlying effective income tax rate on ordinary income in Q1 2026 was 22% after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation losses on current and deferred tax balances; the impact of updates to the rehabilitation provision for our non-operating mines; the impact of non-deductible foreign exchange losses; the impact of the remeasurement of the Hemlo contingent consideration; the impact of Loulo-Gounkoto; and the impact of other expense adjustments.

We record deferred tax charges or credits if changes in facts or circumstances affect the estimated tax basis of assets and therefore, the expectations of our ability to realize deferred tax assets. The interpretation of tax regulations and legislation as well as their application to our business is complex and subject to change. We also have significant amounts of unrecognized deferred tax assets (e.g. for tax losses in Canada). Potential changes in any of these amounts, as well as our ability to realize deferred tax assets, could significantly affect net income or cash flow in future periods. For further details on income tax expense, refer to note 10 of the Financial Statements.

Withholding Taxes

In Q1 2026, we recorded $39 million of dividend withholding taxes related to the distributed earnings of our subsidiaries in Argentina, and undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries in Saudi Arabia and the United States.

OECD Pillar Two model rules

We have applied the exception available under the amendments to IAS 12 published by the IASB in May 2023 and are not recognizing or disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. Our review of Pillar Two for the current year, based on the OECD's Transitional Safe Harbour rules as implemented in the Global Minimum Tax Act in Canada, has not identified any material amounts to be accrued for Q1 2026. As the law is evolving, both in Canada and elsewhere, we will continue to monitor the impact of this legislation.

**Balance Sheet Review** 

Total assets were $52.6 billion as at March 31, 2026, slightly higher than total assets as at December 31, 2025.

Our asset base is primarily comprised of non-current assets such as property, plant and equipment and equity method investments, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of the mining business and our history of growing through acquisitions and creation of joint ventures with other mining companies. Other significant assets include production inventories, indirect taxes recoverable and receivable, concentrate sales receivable, other government and joint venture related receivables, as well as cash and equivalents.

Total liabilities as at March 31, 2026 were $15.8 billion, in line with total liabilities at December 31, 2025. Our liabilities are primarily comprised of debt, other non-current liabilities (such as provisions and deferred income tax liabilities), and accounts payable.

**Financial Position and Liquidity** 

We believe we have sufficient financial resources to meet our business requirements for the foreseeable future, including capital expenditures, working capital requirements, interest payments, environmental rehabilitation, securities buybacks and dividends.

Total cash and cash equivalents as at March 31, 2026 were $7.1 billion. Our capital structure comprises a mix of debt, non-controlling interest (primarily at NGM) and shareholders' equity. As at March 31, 2026, our total debt was $4.7 billion (cash and equivalents, net of debt was $2,405 million) and our debt-to-equity ratio was 0.13:1. This compares to total debt as at December 31, 2025 of $4.7 billion (debt, net of cash and equivalents was $2,003 million), and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13:1.

Uses of cash for the remainder of 2026 include capital commitments of $1,426 million, and we expect to

incur attributable minesite sustaining<sup>1</sup> and project capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> of approximately $3,250 to $3,700 million during the remainder of the year, based on our annual guidance range on page 9. Included in that remaining capital expenditure amount is approximately $480 to $580 million related to Reko Diq, which as noted on page 26, is currently under review. For the remainder of 2026, we have contractual obligations and commitments of $1,145 million for supplies and consumables. In addition, we have $265 million in interest payments and other amounts as detailed in the table on page 34. At the May 8, 2026 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized a new share buyback program, where we may purchase up to $3 billion of Barrick shares over the next 12 months. We expect to fund these commitments through operating cash flow, which is our primary source of liquidity, as well as our existing cash balances as necessary.

The Company's dividend policy targets a total payout of 50% of attributable free cash flow on an annualized basis, comprised of a fixed base quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share and a performance top-up component at each year end based on the attributable free cash flow during the year. The dividend paid in any given year may be higher or lower than the 50% target based on the strength of cash flow, capital needs, balance sheet considerations, and other factors.

The declaration and payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the Company's financial results, cash requirements, future prospects, the number of outstanding common shares, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

Our operating cash flow is dependent on the ability of our operations to deliver projected future cash flows. The sale of the gold and copper we produce and market price of gold and to a lesser extent, copper, are the primary drivers of our operating cash flow. Other options to enhance

liquidity include portfolio optimization; issuance of equity or long-term debt securities in the public markets or to private investors (Moody's and S&P currently rate Barrick's outstanding long-term debt as investment grade, with ratings of A3 and BBB+, respectively); and drawing on the $3.0 billion available under our undrawn Credit Facility (subject to compliance with covenants and the making of certain representations and warranties, this facility is available for drawdown as a source of financing). In May 2025, we completed an update to our undrawn $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, including an extension of the termination date by one year to May 2030. The revolving Credit Facility incorporates sustainability-linked metrics and are made up of annual environmental and social performance targets directly influenced by Barrick's actions, rather than based on external ratings. The performance targets include Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity, water use efficiency (reuse and recycling rates), and TRIFR<sup>3</sup>. Barrick may incur positive or negative pricing adjustments on drawn credit spreads and standby fees based on its sustainability performance versus the targets that have been set. The key financial covenant in our undrawn Credit Facility requires Barrick to maintain a net debt to total capitalization ratio of less than 0.60:1. Barrick's net debt to total capitalization ratio was negative 0.07:1 as at March 31, 2026 (negative 0.06:1 as at December 31, 2025).

Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025

In Q1 2026, we generated $2,554 million in operating cash flow, compared to $2,726 million in Q4 2025. The decrease of $172 million was primarily due to lower gold sales this quarter combined with higher gold TCC/oz<sup>1</sup> partially offset by a higher realized gold price<sup>1</sup>. Operating cash flow was further impacted by an unfavorable movement in working capital, primarily in accounts payable which decreased as a result of the payment of supplier balances at Loulo-Gounkoto as operations ramped up in Q1 2026. These results were positively impacted by a decrease in cash taxes paid and lower interest paid as a result of the timing of semi-annual interest payments on our bonds, which primarily occur in the second and fourth quarters.

Cash outflows from investing activities in Q1 2026 were $614 million, compared to cash inflows of $278 million in Q4 2025. The decreased outflow of $892 million was primarily due to proceeds from the sales of the Hemlo gold mine, our interest in the Tongon gold mine and the Alturas project which were received in Q4 2025. Capital expenditures in Q1 2026 were lower than Q4 2025, primarily at Lumwana which had a high Q4 outflow for mining fleet down payments and a large rebuild spend in preparation for Q1 change outs, combined with lower capitalized waste stripping in Q1 2026.

Net financing cash outflows for Q1 2026 amounted to $1,515 million, compared to $1,368 million in Q4 2025. The increase of $147 million is primarily due to higher net disbursements paid to non-controlling interests, primarily to Newmont in relation to their interest in NGM, and higher dividends paid in Q1 2026 as a result of our new dividend policy. These were partially offset by a lack of share repurchases in the current period as the Share Buyback Plan was not renewed in Q1 2026.

Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025

In Q1 2026, we generated $2,554 million in operating cash flow, compared to $1,212 million in Q1 2025. The increase of $1,342 million was primarily due to higher realized gold prices<sup>1</sup>, partially offset by higher gold TCC/oz<sup>1</sup>. Operating cash flow was further impacted by an unfavorable movement in working capital, mainly in accounts payable which decreased as a result of the payment of supplier balances at Loulo-Gounkoto as operations ramped up in Q1 2026, as well as higher cash taxes paid this quarter.

Cash outflows from investing activities in Q1 2026 were $614 million compared to $739 million in Q1 2025. The decrease of $125 million was primarily due to higher dividends and shareholder loan repayments received from equity investees combined with investment sales proceeds this quarter. These were partially offset by higher capital expenditures driven by increased project capital expenditures<sup>1</sup>, mainly at Reko Diq and at Lumwana, partially offset by decreased minesite sustaining capital expenditures<sup>1</sup> mainly at Carlin driven by purchases of the Komatsu-930 truck fleet occurring in Q1 2025.

Net financing cash outflows for Q1 2026 amounted to $1,515 million compared to $439 million in Q1 2025. The increase of $1,076 million is primarily due to higher net disbursements paid to non-controlling interests, primarily to Newmont in relation to their interest in NGM, and higher dividends paid in Q1 2026 as a result of our new dividend policy. These were partially offset by a lack of share repurchases in the current period as the Share Buyback Plan was not renewed in Q1 2026.

Our recent financial results reflect our emphasis on cost discipline, an agile management structure that empowers our site based leadership teams and a portfolio of Tier One Gold Assets<sup>5</sup>. This, combined with the significant increase in the gold price and ongoing strength in the copper price, has resulted in strong cash flows over the past several quarters delivering record high operating and free cash flow in Q4 2025. The positive operating cash flow generated has allowed us to continue to reinvest in our business including our key growth projects, maintain a strong balance sheet and increase returns to shareholders.

In addition to the strength in metal prices, net earnings has also been impacted by the following items in each quarter, which have been excluded from adjusted net earnings<sup>1</sup>. In 2025, we recorded a net loss of $625 million on the deconsolidation of Loulo-Gounkoto following the change of control after it was placed under a temporary provisional administration on June 16, 2025 and subsequent accounting impact of regaining control on

December 16, 2025, which impacted Q2, Q3 and Q4 of 2025. In addition, in Q4 2025, we recorded a gain on the sale of our Hemlo gold mine ($545 million), our interest in the Tongon gold mine ($134 million) and the Alturas project ($53 million). In Q2 2025, we recorded a net loss of $1,035 million on the deconsolidation of Loulo-Gounkoto following the change of control after it was placed under a temporary provisional administration on June 16, 2025 (refer to note 17 of the Financial Statements for further details), which was partially offset by the recognition of our 80% equity investment in Loulo-Gounkoto. In addition, we recorded a gain of $745 million on the sale of our 50% interest in the Donlin Gold project. In Q4 2024, we recorded non-current asset impairment reversals of $655 million at Lumwana and $437 million at Veladero. In addition, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $484 million related to Loulo-Gounkoto. In Q2 2024, we recorded a provision following the settlement of the Zaldívar Tax Assessments in Chile (refer to note 17 of the Financial Statements).

**Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures** 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as defined in our 2025 annual MD&A.

Together, the internal control frameworks provide internal control over financial reporting and disclosure. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, the effectiveness of internal control is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may change.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, and Senior Executive Vice-President, Chief Financial Officer, management will continue to monitor and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and may make modifications from time to time as considered necessary.

**IFRS Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates** 

Management has discussed the development and selection of our critical accounting estimates with the Audit & Risk Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Audit & Risk Committee has reviewed the disclosure relating to such estimates in conjunction with its review of this MD&A. The accounting policies and methods we utilize determine how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they may require management to make estimates or rely on assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Our material accounting policies are disclosed in note 2 of the Financial Statements, including a summary of current and future changes in accounting policies.

**Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments** 

Certain accounting estimates have been identified as being "critical" to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations because they require us to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain; or there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions and estimates. Our significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions, including our assessment of the impacts following the loss of control of our Loulo-Gounkoto mine, are disclosed in note 3 of the accompanying Financial Statements.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

**Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share** 

Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the following from net earnings:

∎ Impairment charges (reversals) related to intangibles, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and investments;

∎ Acquisition/disposition gains/losses;

∎ Foreign currency translation gains/losses;

∎ Significant tax adjustments;

∎ Other items that are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of our core mining business; and

∎ Tax effect and non-controlling interest of the above items.

Management uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. Management believes that adjusted net earnings is a useful measure of our performance because impairment charges, acquisition/disposition gains/losses and significant tax adjustments do not reflect the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Furthermore, foreign currency translation gains/losses are not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the reporting periods presented. The tax effect and non-controlling interest of the adjusting items are also excluded to reconcile the amounts to Barrick's share on a post-tax basis, consistent with net earnings.

As noted, we use this measure for internal purposes. Management's internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the types of items we adjust for. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables investors and analysts to better understand the underlying operating performance of our core mining business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business segments and a review of the non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts and other mining companies.

Adjusted net earnings is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

**Free Cash Flow, Attributable Free Cash Flow and Attributable Operating Cash Flow** 

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities. Attributable free cash flow starts with free cash flow and adds our attributable share of free cash flow from our equity investees and subtracts the free cash flow attributable to the non-controlling interests. Management believes these to be useful indicators of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash.

Starting with this MD&A, we are presenting attributable operating cash flow. Attributable operating cash flow starts with cash provided by operating activities and adds our attributable share of cash provided by operating activities from our equity investees and subtracts the cash provided by operating activities attributable to the non-

controlling interests. Management believes this to be useful indicator of the amount of cash provided by operating activities to Barrick's ownership share.

Free cash flow, attributable free cash flow and attributable operating cash flow are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Capital expenditures are classified into minesite sustaining capital expenditures or project capital expenditures depending on the nature of the expenditure. Minesite sustaining capital expenditures is the capital spending

required to support current production levels. Project capital expenditures represent the capital spending at new projects and major, discrete projects at existing operations intended to increase net present value through higher

production or longer mine life. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of the purpose of capital expenditures and this distinction is an input into the calculation of all-in sustaining costs per ounce/pound.

Classifying capital expenditures is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any

standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

**Total cash costs per ounce, All-in sustaining costs per ounce, C1 cash costs per pound and All-in sustaining costs per pound** 

TCC/oz and AISC/oz are non-GAAP financial measures which are calculated based on the definition published by the WGC (a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by gold mining companies from around the world, including Barrick). The WGC is not a regulatory organization. Management uses these measures to monitor the performance of our gold mining operations and their ability to generate positive cash flow, both on an individual site basis and an overall gold operations basis.

TCC/oz starts with our cost of sales related to gold production and removes depreciation, the non-controlling interest of cost of sales and costs allocated to by-products. AISC/oz starts with TCC/oz and includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining leases, general and administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs related to the current mine plan and reclamation cost accretion and amortization. These additional costs reflect the expenditures made to maintain current production levels.

We believe that our use of TCC/oz and AISC/oz will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in understanding the costs associated with producing gold, understanding the economics of gold mining, assessing our operating performance and also our ability to generate free cash flow from the gold operations portion of our business. Due to the capital-intensive nature of the industry and the long useful lives over which these items are depreciated, there can be a significant timing difference between net earnings calculated in accordance with IFRS and the amount of free cash flow that is being generated by a mine and therefore we believe these measures are useful non-GAAP operating metrics and supplement our IFRS disclosures. These measures are not

representative of all of our cash expenditures as they do not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments. These measures do not include depreciation or amortization.

TCC/oz and AISC/oz are intended to provide additional information only and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not equivalent to net income or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Although the WGC has published a standardized definition, other companies may calculate these measures differently.

C1 cash costs/lb and AISC/lb are non-GAAP financial measures related to our copper mine operations. We believe that C1 cash costs/lb enables investors to better understand the performance of our copper operations in comparison to other copper producers who present results on a similar basis. C1 cash costs/lb excludes royalties and production taxes and non-routine charges as they are not direct production costs. AISC/lb is similar to the gold AISC metric and management uses this to better evaluate the costs of copper production. We believe this measure enables investors to better understand the operating performance of the copper portion of our business as this measure reflects all of the sustaining expenditures incurred in order to produce copper. AISC/lb includes C1 cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining leases, general and administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs, royalties and production taxes, reclamation cost accretion and amortization and write-downs taken on inventory to net realizable value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Attributable EBITDA, Attributable EBITDA Margin and Net Leverage** 

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

∎ Income tax expense;

∎ Finance costs;

∎ Finance income; and

∎ Depreciation.

Management believes that EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Management uses EBITDA for this purpose. EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes whereby EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or "EBITDA multiple" that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company.

Adjusted EBITDA removes the effect of impairment charges; acquisition/disposition gains/losses; foreign currency translation gains/losses; and other expense adjustments. We also remove the impact of income tax expense, finance costs, finance income and depreciation incurred in our equity method accounted investments. Attributable EBITDA further removes the non-controlling interest portion. We believe these items provide a greater level of consistency with the adjusting items included in our adjusted net earnings reconciliation, with the exception that these amounts are adjusted to remove any impact on finance costs/income, income tax expense and/or depreciation as they do not affect EBITDA. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in better understanding our

ability to generate liquidity from our attributable business, including equity method investments, by excluding these amounts from the calculation as they are not indicative of the performance of our core mining business and do not necessarily reflect the underlying operating results for the periods presented. Additionally, it is aligned with how we present our forward-looking guidance on gold ounces and copper pounds produced.

Attributable EBITDA margin is calculated as attributable EBITDA divided by revenues - as adjusted. We believe this ratio will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick to better understand the relationship between revenues and EBITDA or operating profit.

Net leverage is calculated as debt, net of cash divided by the sum of adjusted EBITDA of the last four consecutive quarters. We believe this ratio will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in monitoring our leverage and evaluating our balance sheet.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, attributable EBITDA, attributable EBITDA margin and net leverage are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and attributable EBITDA exclude the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, attributable EBITDA, attributable EBITDA margin and net leverage differently.

<sup>2</sup> Gold COS/oz is calculated as cost of sales across our gold operations (excluding sites in closure or care and maintenance) divided by ounces sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick's ownership share). Copper COS/lb is calculated as cost of sales across our copper operations divided by pounds sold (both on an attributable basis using Barrick's ownership share). References to attributable basis means our 100% share of Hemlo and Lumwana, our 61.5% share of NGM, our 60% share of Pueblo Viejo, our 80% share of Loulo-Gounkoto, our 89.7% share of Tongon, our 84% share of North Mara, and Bulyanhulu, our 50% share of Veladero, Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid, our 24.5% share of Porgera and our 45% share of Kibali. 

<sup>3</sup> Total reportable incident frequency rate ("TRIFR") is a ratio calculated as follows: number of reportable injuries x 1,000,000 hours divided by the total number of hours worked. Reportable injuries include fatalities, lost time injuries, restricted duty injuries, and medically treated injuries. Lost time injury frequency rate ("LTIFR") is a ratio calculated as follows: number of lost time injuries x 1,000,000 hours divided by the total number of hours worked. 

<sup>4</sup> Class 1 - High Significance is defined as an incident that causes significant negative impacts on human health or the environment or an incident that extends onto publicly accessible land and has the potential to cause significant adverse impact to surrounding communities, livestock or wildlife. 

<sup>5</sup> A Tier One Gold Asset is an asset with a $1,500/oz reserve with potential to deliver a minimum 10-year life, annual production of at least 500,000 ounces of gold and with projected costs per ounce in the lower half of the industry cost curve. A Tier One Copper Asset/Project is an asset with a $3.25/lb reserve with potential for +5Mt contained copper in support at least 20 years life, annual production of at least 200ktpa, with costs per pound in the lower half of the industry cost curve. Tier One Assets must be located in a world-class geological district with potential for organic reserve growth and long-term geologically driven addition. 

<sup>6</sup> Fourmile production and economic metrics are based upon a preliminary economic assessment, using 2024 mineral resources only and August 2025 Long Term Consensus Gold Price of $2,585/oz. These metrics are conceptual in nature because they include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative to have the considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.

## Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
**Barrick Mining Corporation.** *Tabular dollar amounts in millions of United States dollars, unless otherwise shown.*

**1** ∎ **Corporate Information** 

Barrick Mining Corporation ("Barrick", "we" or the "Company") is a corporation governed by the *Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)*. The Company's corporate office is located at Brookfield Place, TD Canada Trust Tower, 161 Bay Street, Suite 3700, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2S1. The Company's registered office is 925 West Georgia Street, Suite 1600, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3L2. Barrick shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol B and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ABX. We are principally engaged in the production and sale of gold and copper, as well as related activities such as exploration and mine development. We sell our gold and copper into the world market.

We have ownership interests in producing gold mines that are located in Argentina, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Dominican Republic, Mali, Papua New Guinea, Tanzania and the United States. We have ownership interests in producing copper mines in Chile, Saudi Arabia and Zambia. We also have various projects located throughout the Americas, Asia and Africa.

**2** ∎ **Material Accounting Policy Information** 

**a) Statement of Compliance** 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, under International Accounting Standard 34, *Interim Financial Reporting*. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with Barrick's most recently issued Annual Report, which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company's business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company's material accounting policy information was presented in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Annual Financial Statements"), and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 8, 2026.

**b) New Accounting Standards Issued** 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are either applicable in the current year or not mandatory for the current period. We have assessed these standards and determined they do not have a material impact on Barrick in the current reporting period. In particular, the following standards have been issued by the IASB.

∎ Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) with mandatory application
of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The amendment clarifies the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, and updates the disclosures for equity instruments
designated at fair value through other

comprehensive income. This did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

∎ IFRS 18 *Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements* with mandatory application of the standard in annual
reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Even though IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, it will impact presentation and disclosure of certain aspects of the financial
statements including management-defined performance measures (MPM) within the financial statements. Based on our preliminary assessment, items of income and expenses in the statement of income will be grouped into new categories resulting in new
subtotals and/or line items being presented and changes in how certain existing subtotals are calculated; operating profit will be the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities instead of net income and interest paid will
be presented as financing cash flows and interest received as investing cash flows; and new disclosures will be required for MPMs, of which we believe that the following will meet the MPM definition: Adjusted net earnings, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
and Attributable EBITDA.

No standards have been early adopted in the current period.

**3** ∎ **Critical Judgements, Estimates, Assumptions and Risks** 

The judgments, estimates, assumptions and risks discussed here reflect updates from the 2025 Annual Financial Statements. For judgments, estimates, assumptions and risks related to other areas not discussed in these interim consolidated financial statements, please refer to Notes 3 and 28 of the 2025 Annual Financial Statements.

**a) Provision for Environmental Rehabilitation ("PER")** 

Provisions are updated each reporting period for changes to expected cash flows and for the effect of changes in the discount rate and foreign exchange rates. The change in estimate is added or deducted from the related asset and depreciated over the expected economic life of the operation to which it relates. In the case of closed sites, changes in estimates and assumptions are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of income. For Q1 2026, we recorded a net decrease of $44 million (Q1 2025: $26 million net increase) to the PER at our minesites primarily due to an increase in the discount rate and spending incurred during the quarter, partially offset by accretion.

Adjustments to the estimated amount and timing of future closure and rehabilitation cash flows are a normal occurrence in light of the significant judgments and estimates involved. Rehabilitation provisions are adjusted as a result of changes in estimates and assumptions and are accounted for prospectively. In Q4 of each year, our life of mine plans are updated and that typically results in an update to the rehabilitation provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**b) Contingencies** 

Contingencies can be either possible assets or possible liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will be resolved only when one or more future events, not wholly within our control, occur or fail to occur. The assessment of such contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. Refer to Note 17 for further details on contingencies.

**4** ∎ **Acquisitions and Divestitures** 

**a) Loulo-Gounkoto** 

On June 16, 2025, the Bamako Commercial Tribunal placed Loulo-Gounkoto under temporary provisional administration. While Barrick retained its 80% legal ownership of the mining complex, control over operations transferred to an external administrator. Following this action by the Malian courts, management concluded that Barrick had lost control of the subsidiaries that hold our interest in Loulo-Gounkoto because we could not effectively exercise power over the relevant activities related to the mine, nor could we affect the returns of the mine through managerial involvement. As a result of the loss of control event in Q2 2025, we deconsolidated the subsidiaries, and derecognized the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest of Loulo-Gounkoto at their carrying amounts at the date when control was lost.

On November 24, 2025, Barrick announced that an agreement had been entered into with the Government of the Republic of Mali to put an end to all disputes regarding the Loulo and Gounkoto mines. The provisional administration of the Loulo-Gounkoto complex was terminated on December 16, 2025, at which point operational control was handed back to the management of Société des Mines de Loulo SA ("Somilo") and Société des Mines de Gounkoto SA ("Gounkoto").

We have determined that this represents a business combination with Barrick identified as the acquirer. We have determined the acquisition price should be equal to the fair value of Barrick's 80% investment in the equity of Somilo and Gounkoto.

We have determined the fair value of Barrick's existing interest in Loulo-Gounkoto immediately before the acquisition of control, which represents the fair value of the consideration in the transaction. We have also determined the fair value of the non-controlling interest and performed a provisional allocation of the purchase price to identified assets and liabilities.

The tables below present the provisional allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. This allocation is provisional, primarily property, plant and equipment. As disclosed in note 17, in April 2026 we made a $200 million payment in respect of royalties, penalties and interest, which will have implications on the purchase price allocation. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation process in the second half of 2026.

| &nbsp;&nbsp; Fair value of Loulo-Gounkoto (100%) | $3220 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Provisional fair value allocation at acquisition** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Cash | $71 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Other current assets | 154 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Inventory | 629 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Property, plant and equipment | 3131 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Other long-term assets | 120 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total assets | $4105 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Current liabilities | $347 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Deferred income tax liabilities | 474 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Lease liabilities | 17 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Provisions | 47 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Other liability to Loulo-Gounkoto NCI | 240 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total liabilities | $1125 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Non-controlling interests | 404 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Net assets acquired | $2576 |

---

We primarily used a discounted cash flow model (being the net present value of expected future cash flows) to determine the fair value of the mining interests and used a depreciated replacement cost approach in determining the fair value of property, plant and equipment. Expected future cash flows are based on estimates of future gold prices inclusive of a $3,000/oz long-term gold price and projected future revenues, estimated quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources, including expected conversions of resources to reserves, expected future production costs and capital expenditures based on the life of mine plans for the mines as at the acquisition date. A WACC of 16% was applied in the discounted cash flow model.

Since it has been consolidated from December 16, 2025, Loulo-Gounkoto contributed revenue of $505 million and net income of $16 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2025, consolidated revenue and consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, would have been $1,036 million and $484 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenue and net income were $426 million and $164 million, respectively. The fair value of accounts receivable was $92 million (included in other current assets) as at December 16, 2025, which was equivalent to the contractual amount.

**5** ∎ **Segment Information** 

Barrick's business is organized into fourteen minesites. Barrick's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") (Mark Hill, President and Chief Executive Officer) reviews the operating results, assesses performance and makes capital allocation decisions at the minesite level. Our presentation of our reportable operating segments consists of eight gold mines (Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Pueblo Viejo, Loulo-Gounkoto, Kibali, North Mara and Bulyanhulu) and one copper mine (Lumwana). The remaining operating segments, including our remaining gold mines, have been grouped into an "Other Mines" 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.

---

Income tax expense was $747 million for Q1 2026 (Q1 2025: $278 million). The unadjusted effective income tax rate for Q1 2026 was 23% of income before income taxes.

The underlying effective income tax rate on ordinary income for Q1 2026 was 22% after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation losses on current and deferred tax balances; the impact of updates to the rehabilitation provision for our non-operating mines; the impact of non-deductible foreign exchange losses; the impact of the remeasurement of the Hemlo contingent consideration; the impact of Loulo-Gounkoto; and the impact of other expense adjustments.

**Currency Translation** 

Current and deferred tax balances are subject to remeasurement for changes in foreign currency exchange rates each period. This is required in countries where tax is paid in local currency and the subsidiary has a different functional currency (typically US dollars). The most significant balances relate to Argentine, Malian and Zambian tax balances.

In Q1 2026, a tax expense of $36 million (Q1 2025: $15 million tax recovery) arose primarily from net translation losses on current and deferred tax balances in Zambia and Mali, respectively due to the strengthening of

the Zambian Kwacha and weakening of the West African CFA. These were partially offset by translation gains on deferred tax balances in Argentina due to the strengthening of the Argentine peso against the US dollar.

These net translation losses are included within income tax expense.

**Withholding Taxes** 

For Q1 2026, we have recorded $39 million (Q1 2025: $20 million related to Tanzania and the United States) of dividend withholding taxes related to the distributed earnings of our subsidiaries in Argentina, and undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries in Saudi Arabia and the United States.

**United States Tax Reform** 

Under the Inflation Reduction Act signed in August 2022, the United States implemented a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") on applicable financial statement income, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, with CAMT credit carryforwards having an indefinite life. Barrick is subject to CAMT as it meets the requisite income thresholds for a foreign-parented multinational group.

Since its introduction, we have recognized a deferred tax asset (DTA) from the CAMT credit carryforwards, anticipating recovery against future US Federal Income Tax liabilities. In Q1 2026, the IRS outlined additional interim guidance on the CAMT to allow several new adjustments to adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) and modify the scope of certain AFSI adjustments in prior interim guidance. Given potential future developments, the timing and amount of such CAMT recovery may be subject to change pending issuance of final regulations.

**Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Pillar Two model rules** 

These rules apply to multi-national enterprises with annual consolidated revenues of at least €750 million in at least two of the prior four fiscal years immediately preceding the relevant fiscal year, which is reflective of our status.

Canada enacted Pillar Two legislation in Q2 2024, effective for fiscal years commencing on or after December 31, 2023. Other jurisdictions in which the group operates have either enacted or are in the process of enacting similar legislation. In accordance with the Global Minimum Tax Act enacted in Canada, the Group is required to file its first GloBE Information Return and the related Canadian tax returns for the 2024 fiscal year by June 30, 2026.

In terms of the income tax accounting, we have applied the exception available under the amendments to IAS 12 published by the IASB in May 2023 and are not recognizing or disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. Our review of Pillar Two for the current year, based on the OECD's Transitional Safe Harbour rules as implemented in the Global Minimum Tax Act in Canada, has not identified any material amounts to be accrued for Q1 2026. As the law is evolving, both in Canada and elsewhere, we will continue to monitor the impact of this legislation.

Financial instruments include cash; evidence of ownership in an entity; or a contract that imposes an obligation on one party and conveys a right to a second party to deliver/ receive cash or another financial instrument.

**Gold Contracts** 

In Q3 2025, we entered into 25,000 ounces of zero cost gold collars that mature every month between September 2025 and August 2028 for a total of 900,000 ounces. These contracts contain purchased put and sold call options with strike prices of $3,100/oz and $4,310/oz, respectively. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, with the effective portion of the hedge recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion recognized as loss (gain) on non-hedge derivatives. The realized loss related to these positions is $42 million for Q1 2026 (Q1 2025: $nil) and was recorded in revenue. As at March 31, 2026, the fair value of the remaining derivatives is a loss of $529 million (December 31, 2025: $386 million), with $165 million recorded as other current liabilities and $364 million recorded as other non-current liabilities (December 31, 2025: $89 million and $297 million, respectively). As at March 31, 2026, 725,000 ounces of gold collars remain outstanding.

The description set out below should be read in conjunction with Note 36 "Contingencies" to the 2025 Annual Financial Statements.

**Litigation and Claims Update** 

Pascua-Lama — Proposed Canadian Securities Class Actions

In the Ontario proceeding, the Superior Court of Justice for Ontario issued its decision on the plaintiffs' motion for class certification on March 4, 2026. The Court certified the plaintiffs' statutory secondary market and common law misrepresentation claims but declined to certify the plaintiffs' primary market claims.

In the Quebec proceeding, both parties have delivered expert reports. Trial is scheduled for April 18 to May 15, 2028.

North Mara - Ontario Litigation

On April 7, 2026, the Court of Appeal for Ontario dismissed the plaintiffs' appeal, upholding Barrick's motion to dismiss both actions on the grounds that Tanzania is a more appropriate forum in which to litigate this matter. The plaintiffs have 60 days from the date of the Court of Appeal judgment to file an application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Loulo-Gounkoto Mining Conventions Dispute

Further to the terms of the settlement agreement announced on November 24, 2025, the 10-year renewal of the Somilo Exploitation Permit was granted under the 2023 Mining Code on February 13, 2026. Also further to the settlement agreement, the senior judge at the Pôle National Économique et Financier issued a ruling dated March 25, 2026 dismissing the criminal proceedings previously issued against Somilo, Gounkoto and certain individuals. This matter is now closed.

In addition, pursuant to a tax reconciliation process contemplated by the settlement agreement, a total of $200 million was paid to the Government of Mali in April 2026 in respect of additional royalties, penalties and interest related to the application of the 2023 Mining Code to Loulo-Gounkoto for 2024 and 2025.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements.

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 MD&A in light of management'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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

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); risks associated with projects in the early stages of evaluation and for which additional engineering and other analysis is required; risks related to the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations, that quantities or grades of reserves will be diminished, and that resources may not be converted to reserves; risks associated with the fact that certain of the initiatives described in this MD&A are still in the early stages and may not materialize; changes in mineral production performance, exploitation and exploration successes; 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; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; lack of certainty with respect to foreign legal systems, corruption and other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices, including the expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, or other countries in which Barrick does or may carry on business in the future; risks relating to the proposed initial public offering of an entity that will hold Barrick's North American assets; risks relating to political instability in certain of the jurisdictions in which Barrick operates; timing of receipt of, or failure to comply with, necessary permits and approvals; non-renewal of key licenses by governmental authorities; failure to comply with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; increased costs and physical and transition risks related to climate change, including extreme weather events, resource shortages, emerging policies and increased regulations related to GHG emission levels, energy efficiency and reporting of risks; the Company's ability to achieve its sustainability goals, including its climate-related goals and GHG emissions reduction targets, in particular its ability to achieve its Scope 3 emissions targets which require reliance on entities within Barrick's value chain, but outside of the Company's direct control, to achieve such targets within the specified time frames; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, or over access to water, power and other required infrastructure; the liability associated with risks and hazards in the mining industry, and the ability to maintain insurance to cover such losses; damage to the Company's reputation due to the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, including negative publicity with respect to the Company's handling of environmental matters or dealings with community groups, whether true or not; risks related to operations near communities that may regard Barrick's operations as being detrimental to them; litigation and legal and administrative proceedings; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities, including geotechnical challenges, tailings dam and storage facilities failures, and disruptions in the maintenance or provision of required infrastructure and information technology systems; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technical challenges associated with the construction of capital projects; risks associated with working with partners in jointly controlled assets; risks related to disruption of supply routes which may cause delays in construction and mining activities, including disruptions in the supply of key mining inputs due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and

conflicts in the Middle East; risk of loss due to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; risks associated with artisanal and illegal mining; risks associated with Barrick's infrastructure, information technology systems and the implementation of Barrick's technological initiatives, including risks related to cybersecurity incidents, including those caused by computer viruses, malware, ransomware and other cyberattacks, or similar information technology system failures, delays and/or disruptions; 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, including global inflationary pressures driven by ongoing global supply chain disruptions, global energy cost increases following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and country-specific political and economic factors in Argentina and uncertainty related to Venezuela; adverse changes in our credit ratings; fluctuations in the currency markets; changes in U.S. dollar interest rates; changes in U.S. trade, tariff and other controls on imports and exports, tax, immigration or other policies that may impact relations with foreign countries, result in retaliatory policies, lead to increased costs for raw materials and components, or impact Barrick's existing operations and material growth projects; risks arising from holding derivative instruments (such as credit risk, market liquidity risk and mark-to-market risk); risks related to the demands placed on the Company's management, the ability of management to implement its business strategy and enhanced political risk in certain jurisdictions; uncertainty whether some or all of Barrick's targeted investments and projects will meet the Company's capital allocation objectives and internal hurdle rate; whether benefits expected from recent transactions are realized; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; risks related to competition in the mining industry; employee relations including loss of key employees; availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor; risks associated with diseases, epidemics and pandemics; risks related to the failure of internal controls; and risks related to the impairment of the Company's goodwill and assets. 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 or 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 MD&A are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Form 40-F/Annual 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's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. We disclaim 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.
