5 out of the Top 10 Tier One Gold Assets (> 500 koz; > 10 year mine life; bottom half of cost curve)2
1. Source: Wood Mackenzie. Top Tier One Gold Assets are ranked by ‘Total Cash Cost’. “Total cash cost” is a non-GAAP financial performance measure with no standardized meaning under IFRS, and includes C1 cash cost, royalties, and other indirect costs. See Endnote #1.2. A Tier One Gold Asset is a mine with a stated mine life in excess of 10 years with 2017 production of at least five hundred thousand ounces of gold and 2017 total cash cost per ounce within the bottom half of Wood Mackenzie’s cost curves tools (excluding state-owned and privately owned mines).. For additional
information on “total cash costs per ounce”, see Endnote #1.

1. New Barrick post-merger attributable proven and probable gold mineral reserves figure as at year-end 31 December 2017, on a combined basis, after giving effect to the merger of Barrick and Randgold (as if it had closed on 31 December 2017). New Barrick reserve grade is calculated using a weighted average of attributable year-end 31 December 2017 reserve grade from each of Barrick and Randgold. See Endnote #12. Source: company disclosure. Shown on an attributable basis. Reserve and grade data based on individual companies’ assumptions.3. Peer Average grade figure is based on the published gold reserves and grade of Newmont, Goldcorp and Kinross referred to in footnote #2 and is calculated on a weighted average basis.

Appendix A – Fourmile Significant Intercepts11. All intercepts calculated using a 5 g/t Au
cutoff and are uncapped; minimum intercept width is 0.8 m; internal dilution is less than 20% total width
2. Fourmile drill hole nomenclature: FM (Fourmile) followed by the year (18 for 2018) or GRC (Gold Rush Core) with no designation of the year
3. True width of intercepts are uncertain at this stage
4. FM18-02 updated from “no significant intercepts” due to pending results
The drilling results for the Fourmile property contained in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. All drill hole assay information has been manually reviewed and approved by staff geologists and re-checked by the project manager. Sample preparation and analyses are conducted by an independent laboratory. Procedures are employed to ensure security of samples during their delivery from the drill rig to the laboratory. The quality assurance procedures, data verification and assay protocols used in connection with drilling and sampling on the Fourmile property conform to industry accepted quality control methods.

1.The potential combined gold reserves figure of 78 million ounces (rounded to the nearest million) is an aggregate of the gold Mineral Reserves reported at US$1200/oz by Barrick in its annual information form for the year ended 31 December 2017 (comprising attributable proven gold Mineral Reserves of 398 million tonnes, at a grade of 1.91 grams/tonne, containing 24 million ounces and attributable probable gold Mineral Reserves of 896 million tonnes, at a grade of 1.39 grams/tonne, containing 40 million ounces, for aggregate attributable proven and probable gold Mineral Reserves of 1,295 million tonnes, at a grade of 1.55 grams/tonne, containing 64 million ounces) and the gold Ore Reserves reported by Randgold at US$1000/oz in its annual report for the year ended 31 December 2017 (comprising total proved gold Ore Reserves of 44 million tonnes, at a grade of 3.78 grams/tonne, containing 3.5 million attributable ounces and total probable gold Ore Reserves of 128 million tonnes, at a grade of 3.78 grams/tonne, containing 10 million attributable ounces, for aggregate total proven and probable gold mineral reserves of 172 million tonnes, at a grade of 3.78 grams/tonne, containing 14 million attributable ounces). The assumptions on which the Mineral Reserves for Barrick are reported are set out in Barrick’s annual information form published on 23 March 2018 and available from www.barrick.com/investors/agm/. The assumptions on which the Ore Reserves for Randgold are reported are set out in Randgold’s annual report published on 29 March 2018 and available from www.randgoldresources.com/annual-reports-listing. The Barrick Mineral Reserves have been prepared according to Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) 2014 Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves as incorporated by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The Randgold Ore Reserves have been prepared according to the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves standards and guidelines, published and maintained by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and the Minerals Council of Australia (the “JORC (2012) Code”). Randgold has reconciled the reported Ore Reserves to the CIM 2014 Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves as incorporated by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and there are no material differences. The Barrick tonnage and grade figures are reported on an attributable basis and the Randgold tonnage and grade figures are reported on a total basis. The Barrick Mineral Reserves are reported using US$1200/oz except for Kalgoorlie, which uses A$1600/oz and Bulyanhulu, North Mara and Buzwagi which use US$1100/oz and the Randgold Ore Reserves are reported using US$1000/oz, except for Kibali KCD open pit, which uses an US$1100/oz pit design. As a result, the respective Mineral Reserves and Ore Reserves of Barrick and Randgold may not be directly comparable. The potential combined reserves should be treated as forward looking statements and are subject to change under differing gold price assumptions.
