Mineral resource management at New Barrick…
Manage the orebody from gold in the ground to value for all stakeholders – only possible through ownership of the orebody MRM are empowered on the mines to own the orebody but are held accountable for the
- rebody understanding and estimation
Responsible for resource sustainability and thus responsible for feasibility and replenishment – gatekeepers to ensure reserves pass our filters We are in the consumptive business and if we do not replenish we will die Superior orebody knowledge minimizes technical risk and ensures optimised mine plans Long term planning is critical – allows us to be pre-emptive and not reactive
Kibali…a case study of getting the geology right
First visit in 2006 identified significant mineralisation and alteration system with folding and plunging shoots in interesting rocks Used BIF, chert, and carbonaceous argillite markers and stratigraphic younging direction and changing orientation of bedding to model folding Pale coloured ankerite, and/or siderite, quartz, and sericite alteration is the widespread alteration assemblage. ACSA _A An overprint assemblage of texturally destructive siderite and pyrite with minor quartz. ACSA_B Disseminated magnetite within ACSA-A and B altered rocks can be used to map the extent of BIF horizons in the protolith. Principal lodes are hosted in vein and disseminated pyrite associated with the ACSA-B assemblage. Gold generally occurs as inclusions in both disseminated and vein pyrite, and small grains along the margins of pyrite. Curviplanar mineralized BIF extends:
around the hinges of the folds, locally along the limbs of the folds Only rarely extends along the axial surfaces of the folds,
The resulting lodes have complex shapes, but an overall northeast plunge parallel to the fold axes Understanding the controls to mineralisation led to efficient conversion of resource to reserve – within 1 year we doubled the reserve from 5.5Moz @ 4g/t to 10Moz @ 4.2g/t As of Dec 2017 we have added 6Moz @ 3.7g/t to the acquisition reserve.
Kibali…a case study of getting the geology right
Distribution of ounces per vertical meter drove the decision of shaft access Geological, resource and geotechnical model defined the mining method Understanding of rock hardness and gold deportment drove metallurgical response and process plant design Hydration and oxidation of siderite alteration explained backfill properties Defining the geometry and character of the orebody allows for infrastructure decisions that enhance value

Interim resource model update highlights significant shift in grade distribution within CZ orebody – higher grades in the southern portion and lower grades in northern half Revised financial models support a robust project at $1,000 and current gold prices Potential exists to add resources to the mine life from extensions to existing pits, as well as advanced satellite targets which are showing economic potential Metallurgical recovery models updated and recovery model curves assigned to block model to report recoverable gold within pit optimisations Sofia North – recovery optimised through addition of Aachen oxygen injection technology – follow up campaign returned 2.6% higher recovery for fresh material now modelled at 85.5% Construction capital cost remains largely in line with previous estimate at $415 million Initial steps of public participation process undertaken

1. All significant intercepts calculated as being >6 m and >7.7 g/t or >3 m and >15.5 g/t 2. Nomenclature for drillholes (i.e., TS1802) is described by TS (i.e., Turquoise Ridge Surface) followed by the year (i.e., 18 for 2018) 3. True width of intercepts are uncertain at this stage The drilling results for the Turquoise Ridge property contained in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. All drill hole assay information has been manually reviewed and approved by staff geologists and re-checked by the project manager. Sample preparation and analyses are conducted in an on site laboratory with Quality Assurance/Quality Control procedures performed by an independent laboratory. Procedures are employed to ensure security of samples during their delivery from the drill rig to the laboratory. The quality assurance procedures, data verification and assay protocols used in connection with drilling and sampling on the TRJV property conform to industry accepted quality control methods.
