BARRICK AND ZIJIN CONTRIBUTE $1 MILLION TO SUPPORT

PAPUA NEW GUINEA LANDSLIDE VICTIMS

Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, June 7, 2024 – Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX)

and JV partner Zijin Mining Group announced today that they would jointly contribute US$1 million (Kina

3.8 million) to help communities in Papua New Guinea’s Enga province in the wake of a landslide in

Mulitaka that has claimed an estimated 600 lives.

A team of senior Barrick executives has spent the week in PNG visiting the disaster site and working with

the provincial and national governments as well as officials from the United Nations, the Asian

Development Bank, Australia, New Zealand and the United States to coordinate relief and recovery

activities.

In addition to monetary and in-kind contributions, the Barrick-operated Porgera gold mine is supporting

the Enga Provincial Government with manpower at the disaster operations center in Wabag. Five New

Porgera Limited (NPL) employees have been seconded to advise and assist the operations center with

logistics, inventory, community relations and media.

The mine delivered its second donation of relief supplies to the Mulitaka disaster site last Friday, including

food, medical items and tarpaulins for temporary shelter. It has also sourced eight shipping containers

to store relief supplies and dispatched construction personnel to scope the installation of additional

structures and water tanks.

NPL has mobilized an excavator and a bulldozer to assist with clearing operations and has converted a

truck to be capable of pulling a float to help transport equipment. The mine is also looking at the viability

of using radar to help with monitoring at the slip site.

Additionally, NPL is working with the Enga provincial government on temporary measures to bring much

needed food and fuel to the Porgera valley communities, which depend on the Highlands Highway for

essential supplies.

Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow says NPL is working closely with the Enga Provincial

Government to continue the relief efforts on the ground with key stakeholders from the donor agencies,

government and other resource companies. “Porgera stands ready to provide additional relief and

assistance to support impacted families and communities during this time of need,” he said.
