Passing of Gustavo Cisneros

Toronto, December 30, 2023 – It is with great sadness that the Board of Barrick Gold Corporation

(NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) informs you of the passing of Gustavo Cisneros on December 29, 2023.

Mr Cisneros was an independent member of the Board from 2003, chairing its Environment, Social and

Governance and Nomination Committee and serving as a member of the Compensation Committee. He

was also a member of Barrick’s International Advisory Board, which advises the Board on geopolitical

and other strategic issues.

Announcing this, Barrick Executive Chairman John Thornton paid tribute to Mr Cisneros as a business

leader of international stature who had built his family -owned Cisneros into a worldwide media,

entertainment, telecommunications and consumer products group. He also held board and leadership

positions at a wide range of major corporations and institutions.

“Gustavo was an irreplaceable source of wisdom, judgment and insight for decades. He had an uncanny

ability to get right to the core of the matter, to see around corners and to give sound, practical, forward

leaning advice when one most needed it. His generous and entrepreneurial spirit and his personal and

professional integrity will be missed by all of us. Our deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with

his wife, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, his children, Carolina, Guillermo and Adriana, and their families

with whom the entire Barrick family shares this heartbreaking loss,” said John Thornton.
