Cautionary statement onforward looking information
Certain information contained in this presentation, including any information as to Barrick’s strategy, plans, or future financial or operating performance, constitutes “forward looking statements”. Allstatements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “planned”, “future”, “on track”, “continue”, “preliminary”, “further”, “potential”, “opportunities”, “strategy”, “inprogress”, “ongoing”, “to be”, “target”, “a look at”, and “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In particular, this presentation contains forward-looking statements including, withoutlimitation, with respect to: forward-looking production guidance; future investments in community projects and disease prevention programs; the anticipated benefits of the sale of the Morila mine; Loulo-Gounkoto’s current projects, including the potential extensions to the life of mine and solar project ramp up, and the expected benefits of those projects; ongoing exploration work and potentialmineralization; mineral reserve and mineral resource replacement at the Loulo-Gounkoto complex; construction and development of the Gounkoto underground project, including expected first production;development and training of personnel; expected operational improvements due to improved monitoring and analysis; opportunities and challenges for the growth of the Loulo-Gounkoto complex and thegrowth of Barrick’s partnership with the Malian government and its people.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions including material estimates and assumptions related to the factors set forth below that, while consideredreasonable by the Company as at the date of this presentation in light of management’s experience and perception of current conditions and expected developments, are inherently subject to significantbusiness, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, andundue reliance should not be placed on such statements and information. Such factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold, copper, or certain other commodities(such as silver, diesel fuel, natural gas, and electricity); the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; changes in mineral production performance, exploitation, and exploration successes;risks associated with projects in the early stages of evaluation, and for which additional engineering and other analysis is required; failure to comply with environmental and health and safety laws andregulations; timing of receipt of, or failure to comply with, necessary permits and approvals; uncertainty whether some or all of targeted investments and projects will meet the Company’s capital allocationobjectives and internal hurdle rate; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/ or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices, expropriationor nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Mali and other jurisdictions in which the Company or its affiliates do or may carry on business in the future; damage to theCompany’s reputation due to the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, including negative publicity with respect to the Company’s handling of environmental matters or dealings withcommunity groups, whether true or not; risks associated with new diseases, epidemics and pandemics, including the effects and potential effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic; litigation and legal andadministrative proceedings; employee relations including loss of key employees; increased costs and physical risks, including extreme weather events and resource shortages, related to climate change;and availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor. Barrick also cautions that its guidance may be impacted by the unprecedented business and social disruption caused by thespread of Covid-19. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual orunexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion, copper cathode or gold or copper concentrate losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to coverthese risks).
Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, oron behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. All of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by thesecautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities for a more detaileddiscussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements and the risks that may affect Barrick’s ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in thispresentation.
Barrick disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
