PASSING OF THE RIGHT HONORABLE

BRIAN MULRONEY

Toronto, March 1, 2024 – The Board of Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) is

deeply saddened by the passing of the Chairman of its International Advisory Board and former

member of the Barrick Board of Directors, the Right Honorable Brian Mulroney, on February 29,

2024.

Prime Minister of Canada from 1984 to 1993, Mr Mulroney holds the distinction of being the first

Canadian Prime Minister in 35 years to win successive majority governments and the first

Conservative Prime Minister to do so in 100 years.

Best known for his stance on international trade and building the closest of relationships with

the United States of America, U nited Kingdom and Germany, Mr Mulroney also served as Co-

Chairman of the United Nation’s World Summit for Children. His government played leading

roles in the campaign against Apartheid in South Africa, the creation of Le Sommet de la

Francophonie, the reunification of East and West Germany and the first Gulf War. He also held

board and leadership positions at a wide range of major corporations and institutions.

Paying tribute to Mr Mulroney, Barrick Chairman John Thornton, described him as one of the

greatest statesmen of his generation, with a keen sense of humor and deep compassion and

empathy for others. “Brian was a leader with a purpose who accomplished many vital goals and

did so with decency and skill. He will always be remembered for his insightful contribution to

geopolitical and other strategic issues and most importantly missed as a friend. Our deepest

sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with his wif e Mila and their four children Caroline, Ben,

Mark and Nicolas.”
