BARRICK'S MALI MINES UNAFFECTED BY POLITICAL TRANSITION

Barrick Gold Corp.'s Loulo-Gounkoto mining complex has not been affected by the political situation in Mali, and operations there are continuing as normal.

The complex has an adequate inventory for its foreseeable requirements, and management has taken steps to secure its supply lines. The company is monitoring the situation closely in consultation with local stakeholders.

We seek Safe Harbor.
