Barrick Responds to Potentially Misleading Reuters Report

NEWS RELEASE

BARRICK RESPONDS TO POTENTIALLY MISLEADING

REUTERS REPORT

Toronto – July 23, 2021 – Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD) (TSX:ABX) – A Reuters article

headlined “Cyber attack disrupts major South African port operations” includes the following statement:

“Most of the copper and cobalt mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia, where miners

such as Glencore and Barrick Gold operate, use Durban to ship cargo out of Africa”.

The ambiguous wording of this sentence could create the erroneous impression that Barrick exports gold

or other products through the port of Durban, and the company therefore states emphatically that is not

the case.
