BARRICK DECLARES Q4 DIVIDEND

Barrick Gold Corp. has declared a dividend of 10 U.S. cents per share for the fourth quarter of 2023. The dividend is consistent with the company's performance dividend policy announced at the start of 2022.

The Q4 2023 dividend will be paid on March 15, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Feb. 29, 2024.

"The performance of our business and the continued strength of our balance sheet allowed us to maintain the distribution of a robust dividend to our shareholders in 2023, whilst still ensuring Barrick has adequate liquidity to invest in our significant growth projects," said senior executive vice-president and chief financial officer Graham Shuttleworth.
