THIRD QUARTER PRESS RELEASE - TORONTO, OCTOBER 24, 2002
For Immediate Release
Based on US GAAP and expressed in US dollars.
Barrick Earns $34 Million or $0.06 Per Share in Third Quarter
Company Affirms '02 Production & Cost Estimates
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third Quarter in Brief
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Net income totals $34 million, or 6 cents per share
o Operating cash flow totals $156 million, or 29 cents per share
o Production totals 1.38 million ounces of gold at $180 per ounce
o Cash position increases to $988 million
o Hedge commitments reduced by almost 2 million ounces; further reductions
expected in fourth quarter
o Growth Plan projected to generate 2 million new ounces of annual production
at $125 per ounce
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barrick Gold Corporation today reported earnings of $34 million ($0.06 per
share) and operating cash flow of $156 million ($0.29 per share) for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2002, compared to earnings of $59 million ($0.11 per
share) and operating cash flow of $181 million ($0.34 per share) in the
prior-year period. As previously announced, during the current quarter, certain
operations experienced lower than anticipated grades and recovery rates,
resulting in lower production and higher costs. For the full year, the Company
continues to expect to produce 5.7 million ounces of gold, at an average cash
cost of $178 per ounce, with earnings in the range of $0.33 to $0.35 per share
(excluding non-hedge related adjustments) on the basis of spot gold prices
averaging $315 per ounce for the balance of the year.
Before non-hedge related adjustments, Barrick reported current quarter
income of $37 million(1) ($0.06 per share) compared to $62 million ($0.12 per
share) in the prior-year quarter. The Company reported free cash flow of $68
million1 during the quarter, after capital expenditures, up from $26 million in
the prior-year period.
"A variety of unrelated operating issues from first half 2002 proved more
stubborn than we'd expected and resulted in a disappointing quarter," said
President and Chief Executive Officer Randall Oliphant. "But we've got the
issues in hand, we've got our focus on change, and we've got a plan in place to
make changes happen. These issues in no way detract from the fundamental quality
of our asset base - or the growth pipeline we have in place," continued Mr.
Oliphant, referring to the Company's recently announced plans to add four mines
in five years, with a total of 2 million ounces of new production at an average
cash cost of $125 per ounce over the first 10 years of production.
For the first nine months of 2002, net income was $139 million ($0.26 per
share) compared to $204 million

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 PRESS RELEASE
($0.38 per share) in the first nine months of 2001. Net income before
non-hedge-related adjustments was $132 million1 ($0.24 per share) compared to
$183 million ($0.34 per share) in the prior-year period. Operating cash flow,
before previously accrued Homestake merger costs, was $522 million1 ($0.97 per
share) for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $579 million ($1.08 per
share) in the prior-year period. After paying the previously accrued $38 million
in merger costs, the Company recorded operating cash flow of $484 million ($0.90
per share) for the first nine months of 2002.
TOTAL YEAR PRODUCTION ON TARGET
Total production for the third quarter was 1.38 million ounces of gold at total
cash costs of $180 per ounce, generating cash margins of $162 an ounce. Last
year's production for the third quarter was 1.53 million ounces of gold at total
cash costs of $165 per ounce, resulting in cash margins of $151 per ounce. For
the year, production is expected to be 5.7 million ounces, at total cash costs
of $178 per ounce. Longer term, the Company continues to forecast average annual
production from existing operations of 5.5 million ounces at total cash costs of
$175 per ounce through 2006, in line with current performance.
"The lower third quarter results reflect lower than planned mining rates
and grades in several of our underground mines, requiring us to substitute
lower-grade ore from other areas of the operations," said Vice Chairman and
Chief Operating Officer John Carrington. "We're working on mine sequencing and
processing issues at these operations with one aim in mind: producing more gold
at lower cash costs." Carrington confirmed that the Company expects the
improvement process to continue through the quarter.
FORWARD SALES POST 59TH STRAIGHT QUARTER BEATING SPOT PRICE
Spot gold prices averaged $314 per ounce for the third quarter, compared to $274
per ounce in the year-earlier period. Combining deliveries into the Premium Gold
Sales Program with sales at the spot price, the Company realized an average
price of $342 per ounce, $28 higher than the average spot price for the period -
the 59th consecutive quarter the Program has bettered the spot price. Overall
for the quarter, the program generated an additional $39 million in revenue.
The changing economic environment has led to adjustments in the Company's
forward sales program. As a result of the Company's overall financial strength,
lower forward premiums due to the decline in interest rates and the positive
outlook for gold prices, Barrick announced plans in September 2002 to bring its
forward sales position down to 12 million ounces, or 15 percent of current
reserves - a one-third reduction from present levels - by yearend 2003, based on
market conditions. In line with that plan, the Company reduced its forward sales
position from 17.9 million ounces at the close of second quarter 2002 to 16.9
million ounces by third quarter's end, and reduced its variable price sales and
call option contract position from 3.1 million ounces to 2.2 million ounces,
moving toward a target of 1.5 million ounces.
The Company maintains a strong financial position, with the industry's only
A-rating, and closed the quarter with a cash position of $988 million, working
capital of $773 million, and no net debt.
GROWTH PIPELINE PROGRESSING
The quarter also saw the announcement of the Company's $2 billion,
four-mine/five-year growth plan, centered on Alto Chicama in Peru, Cowal in
Australia, Veladero in Argentina and Pascua-Lama, straddling the border of Chile
and Argentina(2). The four projects, projected to come into production between
2005 and 2008, are expected to add a total of 2 million ounces of annual
production at an average cash cost for the first 10 years of $125 per ounce,
with higher production and lower cash costs in the early years. The Company
estimates an internal rate of return from the four

release of September 17, 2002.
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 2 PRESS RELEASE
projects of 14 percent at $325 gold, and 11 percent at $300 gold - well above
its 8 percent cost of capital.
"When you couple our steady free cash flow with our solid balance sheet,
we're confident we have the financial resources we need to bring our growth
pipeline online," said Jamie Sokalsky, Barrick's Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer.
As the quarter ended, the Company completed the feasibility study for the
Veladero Project, which envisions a valley-fill heap leach operation, similar to
the Company's Pierina Mine.
Barrick's shares are traded under the ticker symbol ABX on the Toronto, New
York, London and Swiss Stock Exchanges and the Paris Bourse.

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 5 SUMMARY INFORMATION
Exhibit 2 MD&A
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial and Operating Results
What follows is a discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to the
results of operations in third quarter 2002. The accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are presented in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US
GAAP"), together with the following information, are intended to provide
investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our operations, but should not
serve as the only basis for predicting our future performance.
OVERVIEW
For third quarter 2002, we produced 1.4 million ounces of gold at total cash
costs of $180 per ounce, compared to 1.5 million ounces of gold at $165 per
ounce in third quarter 2001. Net income was $34 million ($0.06 per share),
compared to $59 million ($0.11 per share) for third quarter 2001. Before
non-hedge derivative gains/(losses), net income was $37 million(1) ($0.06 per
share), compared to $62 million ($0.12 per share) for the year-earlier period.
In third quarter 2002, operating cash flows totaled $156 million ($0.29 per
share), compared to $181 million ($0.34 per share) for third quarter 2001.
GOLD SALES
Revenue for third quarter 2002 reached $473 million on gold sales of 1.4 million
ounces, up from $466 million in revenue on 1.5 million ounces for third quarter
2001. Higher revenue for the 2002 quarter resulted from a $26 per ounce, or 8
percent, increase in the average realized price, partially offset by a 6 percent
decrease in gold sales. The increase in our average realized price is due
principally to higher spot gold prices, which averaged $314 per ounce for the
third quarter, compared to $274 per ounce in the year-earlier period. Combining
deliveries from our Premium Gold Sales Program and spot gold sales, we realized
an average price of $342 per ounce, $28 higher than the average spot price for
the period, generating an additional $39 million in revenue.
Future gold production committed under spot deferred contracts in our
Premium Gold Sales Program totaled 16.9 million ounces at quarter's end, down 1
million ounces from the second quarter, deliverable over the next 15 years at an
average price of $342 per ounce. As we announced on September 17, we are
reducing and simplifying our program, given the low forward premiums resulting
from the decline in U.S. interest rates, our overall financial strength and our
positive view of the gold price. Our target is to reduce our forward sales
position to 12 million ounces by the end of 2003 - representing approximately 15
percent of the Company's current gold reserves, compared to today's 21 percent.
At the same time, we plan to reduce our call option and variable price sales
contract positions. Over the last quarter, we reduced those positions from 3.1
to 2.2 million ounces, with a target of reaching 1.5 million ounces by the end
of 2003.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
During the quarter, several operations experienced lower than anticipated grades
and recovery rates, resulting in lower production and higher costs. We expect
the actions we are taking to resolve these issues to continue during the fourth
quarter, leading to the revised cash cost estimates for the year issued in the
last week of September.

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The quarter also saw the announcement of our $2 billion four-mine/five-year
growth plan, centered on development projects at Alto Chicama in north-central
Peru, Cowal in Australia, and Veladero and Pascua-Lama on the border of
Chile/Argentina: projects we expect to bring into production between 2005 and
2008, to add a total of approximately 2 million ounces of annual production at
an estimated average cash cost for the first 10 years of $125 per ounce, with
higher production and lower cash costs in the early years.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Production 483,778 535,513 2,040,000
Total cash cost $233 $200 $219
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Lower production and higher costs for third quarter 2002 compared to the
year-earlier quarter relate to lower grades processed from both the open
pit and underground.
o For the year, Goldstrike is on track to produce 2 million ounces,
marginally lower (off 3%) than 2002 plan.
o Cash costs for 2002 are expected to be $14 per ounce higher (up 7%) than
plan, primarily due to increased costs at Meikle.

Production 333,746 328,572 1,390,000
Total cash cost $ 247 $236 $ 228
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Third quarter production was below plan while cash costs were higher than
plan, due to lower grades and recovery rates in the autoclaves, caused by
ore blending/routing issues, partially offset by an increase in tons milled
(up 12%).
o Production in third quarter 2002 was marginally higher than the
year-earlier quarter, as productivity gains at the roaster increased
throughput 20 percent, offsetting lower head grades.
o Higher costs compared to the year-earlier quarter relate to processing more
tons at lower grades, as well as higher power costs. Power costs have
increased 19 percent over the year-earlier quarter, or $10 per ounce.

Production 150,032 206,941 650,000
Total cash cost $ 206 $140 $ 198
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Third quarter production was lower (8%) than the mid-year plan and cash
costs higher (8%) than plan, as the Mine encountered difficulty mining high
grade remnant ore in the main Meikle zone.
o Lower production compared to the year-earlier quarter is due primarily to
lower grades processed (off 27%), partially offset by the higher mining
rate at Rodeo.
o Higher cash costs in third quarter 2002 compared to the year-earlier
quarter are primarily due to mining and processing more tons at lower
grade, as well as higher power costs.
o The drill program to better define mineralization at the Banshee target
continues, with a decision on a Meikle-to-Banshee access drift due by
year-end.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Production 84,868 78,939 355,000
Total cash cost $ 43 $59 $ 42
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Production for third quarter 2002 was lower than plan, as a strike at a
third-party smelter that treats Eskay Creek ore necessitated a reduction in
the mining rate.
o Third quarter production was higher and cash costs lower than the
year-earlier quarter, due to higher mining and processing rates, as well as
a higher silver by-product credit.
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
o For 2002, production is expected to be approximately 11,000 ounces below
plan, yet cash costs are expected to be $9 per ounce lower than plan. Were
it not for the third-party smelter strike, production would have bettered
plan, with lower cash costs.
o While the negotiators at the third-party smelter have requested a
mid-October resumption of settlement talks, our revised estimates reflect
the strike continuing through the balance of the year. In the meantime, we
have entered into discussions with other smelters to process Eskay Creek
ore.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o For third quarter 2002, production was higher (10%) than plan, while cash
costs were lower (8%), due to the processing of low-cost stockpiles.
o The Mine is on track to surpass its production and cash cost targets for
the year.
o Based on encouraging drill results, a study is now underway of the
economics of a small starter pit at Gold Hill (5 miles from the Round
Mountain deposit).

Total cash cost $ 244 $205 $ 227
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Third quarter production 2002 was lower than plan (off 14%), while cash
costs were higher than the plan (up 31%), due to the shortfall in
production.
o Lower production and higher costs compared to the year-earlier quarter
relate to a lower amount of better grade ore from the underground,
requiring the substitution of lower-grade open pit ore.
o Lower underground production is due to geotechnical issues that forced a
revision of the mine plan in certain higher-grade areas of the mine.
o A paste backfill plant, scheduled for completion in 2003, is expected to
improve stope cycle times and ground support in the underground, improving
the cost structure.
o Overall we expect a lower but more stable mining rate in these higher-grade
areas, leading to a gradual improvement in the cost structure.
o For the year, due to the mine's geotechnical issues, production is expected
to be 34,000 ounces lower than plan, with cash costs $35 per ounce higher.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o For third quarter 2002, production was below plan (18%) than the
year-earlier quarter, while cash costs were significantly higher, due to
fewer tons mined and lower grades processed.
o The Mine continues to experience lower grades due to dilution in the
current mining areas.
o For the year, production is expected to be lower than plan by 5,000 ounces,
with cash costs $26 per ounce higher, due to lower grades processed than
planned.

o For third quarter 2002, production was below plan (7%) while cash costs
were higher (20%), due to delays in accessing planned, higher grade stopes
underground combined with geotechnical issues in several stopes. This
required the substitution of lower-grade open pit and stockpile ore.
o Gold production and cash costs in third quarter 2002 were higher than the
year-earlier period, as a result of an increase in higher-cost open pit
mining.
o For the year, production is expected to be marginally lower than plan (2%),
while cash costs are expected to be $29 per ounce higher. Higher cash costs
reflect a smaller contribution from the high-grade underground, replaced by
low-grade open pit and stockpile ore.

On September 17, 2002, we announced our growth plan, consisting of development
targets and timelines for four mines over the next five years. In this section,
the four mines are treated first, followed by updates on additional exploration
efforts.
Alto Chicama (Peru)
On September 17 we provided an updated resource classification at Alto Chicama.
We calculated an indicated resource of 103 million tons, grading 0.056 ounces
per ton, for a total of 5.74 million ounces of gold, and an inferred resource of
33 million tons grading 0.046 ounces per ton gold for 1.53 million ounces. This
compares to an inferred resource of 7.3 million ounces of gold, as announced on
July 10, 2002. Metallurgical testwork is in progress; preliminary results on the
oxide material indicate the ore is amenable to heap leaching.
We estimate Alto Chicama will produce 500,000 ounces per year at an average
cash cost over the first decade of $130 per ounce. Capital costs are projected
at $300 to $350 million.
Work in the quarter focused on infill and condemnation drilling. The infill
program is planned to bring drill spacing on the Lagunas Norte deposit to
reserve density status by early 2003. The condemnation program has been
successful in locating areas suitable for the necessary facilities. In addition,
step-out drilling is underway in order to continue to expand the resource, which
remains open to the north and south. A new resource model will be calculated for
year-end 2002.
For the balance of the year, our objectives include further progress toward
the completion of a 2003 feasibility study, including metallurgical test work
and
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
mine and process planning. We will also begin the permitting process for the
Lagunas Norte deposit during fourth quarter 2002.
Pascua/Veladero District (Chile and Argentina)
The Pascua/Veladero District is one of the largest undeveloped gold districts in
the world, with over 25 million ounces(2) of gold reserves.
The Veladero project feasibility study was completed during third quarter
2002, providing the basis for ongoing development. Access road and camp
infrastructure construction are commencing during fourth quarter 2002. The
feasibility study envisions a valley-fill heap leach with two-stage crushing,
similar to our Pierina Mine. Capital cost estimates for construction are $425
million.
Veladero's mineable reserves are now estimated at 254 million tons, grading
0.037 ounces per ton for a total of 9.4 million ounces2, compared to 8.4 million
ounces2 in 2001. Production is expected to average 530,000 ounces per year for
13 years, at an average cash cost of $155 per ounce. Lower cash costs are
expected in the earlier years of the mine life.
With the opportunity to take a unified approach to the development of
Pascua/Veladero, we anticipate significant synergies in terms of infrastructure,
administrative support and construction activities.
Veladero is scheduled to commence production in early 2006, with operations
at Pascua-Lama commencing in 2008, subject to final board approval.
At Pascua-Lama, third quarter 2002 saw the continuation of optimization
work, with a focus on synergies with Veladero and assessing the impact of the
Argentine peso devaluation. We estimate that Pascua-Lama will produce 800,000
ounces per year at an average cash cost of $85 per ounce, with higher production
and lower costs in the early years.
Cowal (Australia)
Metallurgical test work is underway, aimed at optimizing the scope and economics
of the Cowal project. The 20,000-meter drill program, which began during first
quarter 2002, was halted on March 22, when a New South Wales court granted an
interim injunction over the protection of relics. That injunction has since been
lifted, and we have resumed our inspection, clearance and preservation of
artifacts in accordance with a Section 87 permit. Currently, there are 6 drills
at work on cleared areas of the Cowal property. We estimate Cowal will produce
270,000 ounces per year at an average cash cost of $170 per ounce, with higher
production and lower costs in the early years. We project capital costs to bring
Cowal into production of $180 million.
Australia
Exploration programs continued on the Tanami joint venture in Northern
Territory/ Western Australia, where a regional geochemical sampling program is
underway. In-fill sampling commenced in third quarter 2002, aimed at following
up anomalous gold values along the 50-kilometre long Bramall Trend. Initial
results are favourable; the objective of the program is to identify drill
targets for testing in 2003.
Drill programs continued on the Plutonic mine property, testing numerous
targets for Plutonic-style mineralization.
Tanzania
In Tanzania, results from completed drill programs are being evaluated to
provide recommendations for follow up work in 2003. Airborne geophysical and
ground surveys were completed on earlier stage properties during the quarter. We
are now identifying new targets for drill testing later in 2003. A feasibility
study for the Tulawaka project is on schedule for completion in fourth quarter
2002.

Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting
purposes, Industry Guide 7 (under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as
interpreted by the Staff of the SEC, creates different standards in order
to classify mineralization as a reserve. Accordingly, for U.S. reporting
purposes, the mineralization at Veladero is classified as indicated
resources.
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
United States
A drill program commenced at the Dee and Rossi properties in third quarter 2002,
where 10 targets will be tested. The program will be completed during fourth
quarter 2002. At Ren, the second-phase drill program has commenced, and will be
completed by the end of the fourth quarter.
AMORTIZATION
Amortization totaled $126 million, or $87 per ounce in third quarter 2002,
compared to $120 million, or $79 per ounce in the year-earlier quarter. The
increase in amortization per ounce is primarily due to higher amortization at
Goldstrike with the completion of construction of Rodeo in 2001 and the
reduction of reserves at Meikle.
ADMINISTRATION
In third quarter 2002, administration costs were $16 million, a decrease of $5
million, or 24 percent lower than the year-earlier period, reflecting the effect
of integrating Barrick and Homestake and the associated administrative
synergies.
INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME
The principal component of interest and other income is interest received on
cash and short-term investments.
INTEREST ON LONG-TERM DEBT
We incurred $15 million in interest costs in both third quarter 2002 and 2001,
related primarily to our $500 million of debentures, and the $200 million
Bulyanhulu project financing. In third quarter 2001, $7 million of interest
costs were capitalized at Rodeo, Bulyanhulu and Pascua; in 2002, none of these
projects qualified for capitalization of interest, as a result of completion or
deferral of construction.
NON-HEDGE DERIVATIVE GAINS (LOSSES)
The total mark-to-market loss on the non-hedge derivative positions that were
included in third quarter 2002 earnings was $3 million, the same as the
prior-year period.
The principal components of the mark-to-market gains and losses are
currency, commodity, and interest and lease rate contracts, and exclude our
normal purchase and sales contracts. For further information see note 5D in our
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
INCOME TAXES
The decline in the effective rate compared to the year-earlier period is
primarily due to a higher portion of earnings being realized in lower tax rate
jurisdictions, and the benefit of tax synergies associated with the Homestake
merger, primarily related to integrating our North American operations. Should
spot gold prices remain at current levels, we expect the effective tax rate to
remain at approximately the present level throughout the balance of 2002. Should
gold prices rise substantially, we would expect the effective tax rate to rise,
with a higher portion of earnings being earned in higher-tax jurisdictions
including the United States, Canada, Australia, Peru and Tanzania.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe our ability to generate cash flow from operations to reinvest in our
business is one of our fundamental financial strengths. Combined with our large
cash and short-term investment balance of $988 million at September 30, 2002,
and our $1 billion undrawn bank facility, renewed on April 29, 2002 for another
five-year term, we have sufficient access to capital resources if required. We
anticipate that our operating activities in 2002 will continue to provide us
with cash flows necessary for us to continue developing our internal projects
and to utilize for potential acquisitions.
We generated operating cash flow of $156 million in third quarter 2002,
compared to $181 million in the year-earlier period. The lower cash flow in
third quarter 2002
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
is mainly due to lower earnings. With a portion of our gold expected to be sold
at spot market prices for the balance of 2002, the fluctuation in gold prices
will affect the amount of our operating cash flow through the remainder of this
year.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Our principal investing activities are for sustaining capital at our existing
operating properties, new mine development and property and company
acquisitions.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the third quarter 2002 totaled $88 million, compared to
$155 million in the same period in 2001. The decline is principally due to
higher amounts spent in 2001 at Goldstrike, mainly relating to deferred
stripping, as well as higher activity at Bulyanhulu and Pascua in third quarter
2001. Principal expenditures in third quarter 2002 included $46 million in North
America, comprised primarily of deferred stripping and underground development
at Goldstrike. In Tanzania, capital expenditures included $12 million spent at
the Bulyanhulu Mine on underground development. In Australia, capital
expenditures were $20 million to cover underground development and new mining
equipment, while in South America capital expenditures totaled $10 million,
primarily for Pierina ($7 million) and engineering and development work at
Pascua-Lama ($3 million).
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
During third quarter 2002, our cash outflow from financing activities was nil,
compared with an outflow of $20 million in the year-earlier period. In third
quarter 2001, the outflow principally related to repayment of long-term debt
obligations.
OUTLOOK
We believe considerable growth opportunities exist within our existing asset
base, not only from our new pipeline of projects but from our operating mines as
well. Our assumption is that consolidation and rationalization of the gold
industry will continue. Our strong balance sheet and substantial cash flows
position us to participate in that consolidation should we choose, in ways that
add value to our Company.
For the balance of the year, 50 percent of planned production is expected
to be sold at an average price of $365 per ounce. The balance of production is
expected to be sold either at spot prices, or delivered into our forward
contracts at prices similar to spot prices. Overall for 2002, we remain on track
to produce 5.7 million ounces at an average cash cost of $178 per ounce, $11
higher than plan, due to lower than planned performance at several operations.
Total production costs are expected to reach $269 per ounce, 6 percent above
plan. The company expects exploration and business development expenses to be
approximately $100 million, up from $55 million at the beginning of the year,
due largely to the discovery at Alto Chicama (up $25 million) and increased
expensing at Veladero (up $14 million). Capital spending is expected to total
$240 million (excluding deferred stripping costs of $120 million) - the lowest
level in 14 years, which, at current gold prices, would generate the highest
free cash flows in Company history. We expect full year earnings to be in the
range of our September guidance of 33-to 35-cents per share (excluding non-hedge
related gains/(losses)), based on spot gold prices averaging $315 per ounce
during the fourth quarter.
Overall, we enter the last quarter of 2002 with the strongest balance sheet
in the gold industry, a portfolio of high-quality, long-life properties, a
promising growth pipeline with a growth strategy to bring it on stream - and a
cash position of $988 million, with no net debt.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
We have included measures of earnings before non-hedge derivative gains and
losses and operating cash flow excluding payments of previously accrued merger
related costs, because we believe that this information will assist investors'
understanding of the level of our core earnings and to assess our performance in
2002
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
compared to the prior year. We believe that conventional measures of performance
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") do not fully illustrate our core earnings. These non-GAAP
performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and
therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these
non-GAAP performance measures.

We have included cash costs per ounce data because we understand that certain
investors use this information to determine the Company's ability to generate
cash flow for use in investing and other activities. We also make reference to
the term "free cash flow", which we define as cash flow from operations less
cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment. This cash is
available to reinvest in our business or to return to shareholders, either
through dividends or share repurchases.
We believe that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with
GAAP do not fully illustrate the ability of the operating mines to generate cash
flow. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared
in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of
operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP.

Total cash costs per ounce data is calculated in accordance with The Gold
Institute Production Cost Standard (the "Standard"). The Gold Institute is a
worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and includes
leading North American gold producers. Adoption of the Standard is voluntary,
and the data presented may not be comparable to data presented by other gold
producers. Cash costs per ounce are derived from amounts included in the
Statements of Income and include mine site operating costs such as mining,
processing, administration, royalties and production taxes, but exclude
amortization, reclamation costs, financing costs, and capital, development and
exploration.
Continuity Schedule of the Change in the mark-to-market Value of the Gold and
Silver Hedge Position The estimated fair value of the gold contracts at
September 30, 2002 was approximately $301 million negative, and the fair value
of the silver contracts was $19 million positive. These values are based on the
net present value of cash flows under the contracts, based on a gold spot price
of $324 per ounce, silver spot price of $4.51 per ounce, and market rates for
Libor and gold and silver lease rates. The year-to-date change in the fair value
of the Company's gold contracts is detailed as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair value as at December 31, 2001 $ 356
Impact of $152 million realized gains in the period to date (152)
Impact of change in spot price (from $279 per ounce to $324 per (883)

(e.g. interest rates, lease rates, and volatility) 290
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair value as at September 30, 2002 $ (301)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mark-to-market value of the gold contracts would approach zero (breakeven)
at a spot gold price of approximately $307 per ounce, assuming all other
variables are constant.

Tabular dollar amounts in millions of United States dollars, unless otherwise
indicated, US GAAP basis. References to C$ and A$ are to Canadian and Australian
dollars, respectively.
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles ("US GAAP") for the preparation of interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required
by US GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. Except as disclosed in
note 2, the accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those
described in our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
for the three years ended December 31, 2001.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair
presentation of results for the periods presented have been reflected in these
financial statements. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year ending December 31, 2002. These unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial
statements and the notes thereto for the three years ended December 31, 2001.
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
On December 14, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick merged with
Homestake Mining Company ("Homestake"). The merger was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
give retroactive effect to the merger, with all periods presented as if Barrick
and Homestake had always been combined. Certain reclassifications have been made
to conform the presentation of Barrick and Homestake.
2 ACCOUNTING CHANGES
A Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We adopted FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS
142), effective January 1, 2002. Since we had no goodwill or other intangible
assets at the date of adoption, the implementation of this accounting change had
no effect on our consolidated financial statements.
B Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets
We adopted FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-lived Assets (SFAS 144), effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of this
new statement had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.

3 CAPITAL STOCK
A Net income per share
Net income per share was calculated on the basis of the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2002 which amounted to 540 million shares (2001 - 536 million
shares).
Diluted net income per share reflects the dilutive effect of the exercise
of the common share purchase options outstanding as at the end of the period.
The number of shares for the diluted net income per share calculation for the
three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were 541
million shares and 537 million shares, respectively.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FASB Statement No. 123 ( SFAS 123) encourages, but does not require, companies
to include in compensation cost the fair value of stock options granted to
employees. A Company that does not adopt the fair-value method must disclose the
cost of stock compensation awards, at their fair value on the date the award is
granted. The fair value of common share purchase options granted in the nine
month period ended September 30, 2002 was $2 million, estimated using the
Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: a 6-year expected term, 30%
volatility, interest rates of 6% and an expected dividend yield of 1.5%. Under
SFAS 123, the cost of stock compensation, and the resulting pro forma net income
and net income per share would be as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September
2002 2001 2002 2001

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C Dividends
In the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company declared and paid
dividends in United States dollars totaling $0.11 per share.

5 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
A Derivative instruments
We utilize over-the-counter ("OTC") contracts as the primary basis for entering
into derivative transactions. These privately negotiated agreements, compared to
exchange traded contracts, allow us to incorporate favourable credit, tenor and
flexible terms into the contracts. The underlyings in the contracts include
commodities, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and bond indices
with diversified credit exposure. We do not enter into derivative instruments
which we would consider to be leveraged. For a full description of our
objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments; the nature and
principal terms of the derivative instruments we use; the valuation techniques
used to estimate the fair value of derivative instruments; and the nature of
credit and market risks associated with the derivative instruments we use, refer
to our audited consolidated financial statements for the three years ended
December 31, 2001.

1 Net of 300,000 ounces of gold contracts purchased
2 Net of 150,000 ounces of gold calls purchased
In addition to the above, we have off-take contracts which allow (but do not
commit) Barrick to sell 1.8 million ounces of gold spread over 10 years, at the
then prevailing spot price.
The Company has previously announced that it anticipates a reduction in its
forward gold sales position to approximately 12 million ounces by the end of
2003, based on current market conditions. This reduction is planned primarily
through scheduled deliveries from production, but also through opportunistic
early delivery of production into certain contracts.
(i) Normal sales contracts
We have determined and documented that our physically settled Spot Deferred
Sales Contracts and Variable Price Sales Contracts meet the normal sales
exception included in paragraph 10(b) of SFAS 133. Accordingly, these contracts
are not accounted for as derivatives pursuant to SFAS 133, and are not
marked-to-market through earnings.
Spot deferred sales contracts
We have entered into spot deferred sales contracts, with various counterparties,
that establish selling prices for future gold production, and which therefore
act as an economic hedge against possible price fluctuations in gold. The
contracts have a final delivery date of up to 15 years from inception, but we
have the right at our sole discretion to set a delivery date for any Spot
Deferred Sales Contracts during this 15-year period from inception. At the time
a delivery date is rescheduled, the
23
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
contract price is adjusted based on the difference between the prevailing
forward gold market price and the original contract price.
The average price of the spot deferred sales contracts reflects established
and expected future price assumptions. Prices are fixed on 100% of the contracts
through 2005. Beyond 2005, the expected prices incorporate an average lease rate
assumption of 1.75%. Variations between the lease rate assumption and the actual
lease rates will impact the final realized selling prices. Lease rate exposure
is managed and accounted for separately from our normal gold sales contracts,
and the economic impact flows through our earnings each quarter as part of
"non-hedge derivative gains (losses)"(refer to note 5D). The outstanding lease
rate swaps at September 30, 2002, that we utilize to manage our lease rate
exposure were as follows:

Fixed rate (%) -- 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.6% 4.1% 3.5%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Price Sales Contracts
Variable Price Sales Contracts are contracts whereby we will deliver a specified
quantity of gold on a future date that is determined by us. The contracts have a
final delivery date of up to 15 years from inception, but we have the right at
our sole discretion to set a delivery date for any Variable Price Sales Contract
during this 15-year period from inception. All of the Variable Price Sales
Contracts have expected delivery dates in 2005 and beyond. The contract price
equals the gold spot price subject to a specified maximum ("cap") based on
market conditions in the years indicated in the table above, plus a fixed
premium payable to Barrick. The contract price will be adjusted in the same
manner as price adjustments to spot deferred contracts for the period from these
dates to the expected delivery date in 2005 and beyond. Certain of these
contracts also have a specified minimum ("floor") price.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) Cash flow hedges
We use forward and zero cost min-max currency contracts to economically hedge
exposures arising from operating expenses and capital expenditures denominated
in currencies other than the United States dollar. The specific terms and
notional amounts of the contracts are determined based on management's
assessment of forecasted future cash flows relating to these expenditures. We
have determined and documented that certain of these contracts be accounted for
as cash flow hedges of the variability of forecasted expenditures in US$ terms
and that these hedging relationships continue to be highly effective. For the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, the amount of hedge
ineffectiveness recorded and recognized was insignificant. At September 30,
2002, we had elected hedge accounting treatment for Canadian dollar contracts
with a total notional amount of C$515 million, and Australian dollar contracts
with a total notional amount of A$1,082 million.
In addition, we have elected for certain of our receive fixed interest rate
swaps, with a total notional amount of $525 million, to be accounted for as cash
flow hedges of expected future interest receipts arising on our cash and
short-term investments. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2002, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness recorded and recognized was
insignificant.
For cash flow hedges, gains and losses on derivative contracts that are
reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to current-period
earnings are included in the line item which the hedged item is recorded, in the
same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings.
25
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 Notes to Consolidated Financial Services
In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, we
transferred gains of $3 million and $13 million respectively from other
comprehensive income to earnings. In the next twelve months, gains of $12
million accumulated in other comprehensive income are expected to be transferred
to earnings.

6 CONTINGENCIES
A Environmental
Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal, provincial
and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment.
These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more
restrictive. We conduct our operations so as to protect public health and the
environment and we believe that our operations are materially in compliance with
all applicable laws and regulations. We have made, and expect to make in the
future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
B Litigation and claims
In October 1997, Homestake Canada Inc. ("HCI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Barrick, entered into an agreement with Inmet Mining Corporation ("Inmet") to
purchase the Troilus mine in Quebec for $110 million plus working capital. In
26
BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 1997, HCI terminated the agreement after determining that, on the basis
of due diligence studies, conditions to closing the arrangement would not be
satisfied. On February 23, 1998, Inmet filed suit against HCI in the British
Columbia Supreme Court, disputing the termination of the agreement and alleging
that HCI had breached the agreement. On January 15, 2002, the Supreme Court of
British Columbia released its decision in the matter and found in favour of
Inmet and against HCI. Specifically, the Court held that Inmet should be awarded
equitable damages in the amount of C$88.2 million, which amount was accrued at
December 31, 2001. The Court did not award Inmet pre-judgement interest. Inmet
requested the Court to re-open the trial to permit Inmet to make submissions on
its claim for pre-judgement interest from the date of the breach by HCI. The
request to re-open was denied by the court on May 17, 2002. On February 7, 2002,
HCI filed a Notice of Appeal of the decision with the British Columbia Court of
Appeal. Inmet filed a notice of Appeal of the decision denying Inmet the
pre-judgment interest. A letter of credit in the approximate amount of C$95
million was posted on August 20, 2002 by HCI with the British Columbia Court of
Appeal, pending a decision on the appeal.
On April 30, 1998, we were added as a defendant in a class action lawsuit
initiated against Bre-X Minerals Ltd., certain of its directors and officers or
former directors and officers and others in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division. The class action alleges,
among other things, that statements made by us in connection with our efforts to
secure the right to develop and operate the Busang gold deposit in East
Kalimantan, Indonesia were materially false and misleading and omitted to state
material facts relating to the preliminary due diligence investigation
undertaken by us in late 1996. On July 13, 1999, the Court dismissed the claims
against us and several other defendants on the grounds that the plaintiffs had
failed to state a claim under United States securities laws. On August 19, 1999,
the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint restating their claims against us and
certain other defendants and on June 14, 2000 filed a further amended complaint,
the Fourth Amended Complaint. On March 31, 2001, the Court granted in part and
denied in part our Motion to Dismiss the Fourth Amended Complaint. As a result,
we remain a defendant in the case. We believe that the remaining claims against
us are without merit. We filed our formal answer to the Fourth Amended Complaint
on April 27, 2001 denying all relevant allegations of the plaintiffs against us.
Discovery in the case has been stayed by the Court pending the Court's decision
on whether or not to certify the case as a class action. The amount of potential
loss, if any, which we may incur arising out of the plaintiffs claims is not
currently determinable.
From time to time, we are involved in various claims, legal proceedings and
complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. We are also subject to
reassessment for income and mining taxes for certain years. We do not believe
that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceedings related to any
potential tax assessments or other matters, or any amount which we may be
required to pay by reason thereof, will have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or future results of operations.

BARRICK THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2002 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
10 HOMESTAKE CANADA INC. ("HCI")
In connection with a 1998 acquisition, HCI issued 11.1 million HCI exchangeable
shares. Each HCI exchangeable share is exchangeable for 0.53 of a Barrick common
share at any time at the option of the holder and has essentially the same
voting, dividend (payable in Canadian dollars), and other rights as 0.53 of a
Barrick common share. A share of special voting stock, which was issued to the
transfer agent in trust for the holders of the HCI exchangeable shares, provides
the mechanism for holders of the HCI exchangeable shares to receive their voting
rights.
As at September 30, 2002, 1.6 million of the HCI exchangeable shares were
outstanding and are equivalent to 0.8 million Barrick common shares. As at
September 30, 2002, we had reserved 0.8 million Barrick shares for issuance on
exchange of the HCI exchangeable shares outstanding.
Summarized consolidated financial information for HCI is as follows:
