Strengths
Strong market position
Barrick is the gold industry leader, with a portfolio of 26 operating mines and advanced exploration
and development projects located across five continents, and large land positions on some of the
world’s most prolific and prospective mineral trends. The company also has the largest reserves in
the gold industry, with about 139.9 million ounces of proven and probable gold reserves. In addition,
Barrick has 12.7 billion pounds of proven and probable copper reserves and 1.2 billion ounces of
silver contained within gold reserves, as of December, 2011.
Barrick is the only company in the gold mining industry that possesses an "A" rating balance sheet
which vindicates its conservative but effective financial policy and cost profile, strong pipeline of
development projects, solid reserve base, and a low overall geopolitical risk. A strong balance sheet
gives the company the flexibility it needs to develop new projects and push others into production,
finance its exploration programs, and support corporate development initiatives, such as acquisitions,
as and when the opportunities emerge. A strong market status reflects the company's strengthening
market position with efficient cost structure.
Effective allocation of resources
Barrick Gold Corporation Page 21
© MarketLine
22. Barrick Gold Corporation
SWOT Analysis
The company has high return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA) compared to its peer
companies. The company's competitors such as Kinross Gold have a lower ROE when compared
to Barrick. In FY2011, Kinross Gold's ROE was -16.6% In contrast, Barrick's ROE was 17.5% in
FY2011. Higher ROE compared to its peers indicates that the company is using the shareholders'
money efficiently and that it is generating high returns for its shareholders.
Moreover, Kinross Gold also has less ROA when compared to Barrick. In FY2011, Kinross Gold's
ROA was -12.6% significantly less than Barrick. In contrast, the ROA of Barrick was 9.2% in FY2011.
High ROA indicates that the company has been deploying its assets in an efficient manner and
indicates the efficient management of the company towards allocation of resources compared to its
peer companies.
Weaknesses
Litigations and claims
The company has a number of lawsuits pending against it. For instance, in 2008, the TeMoak
Shoshone Tribe, the East Fork Band Council of the TeMoak Shoshone Tribe and the Timbisha
Shoshone Tribe, the Western Shoshone Defense Project, and Great Basin Resource Watch filed a
lawsuit against the US seeking to enjoin the majority of the activities comprising the Cortez Hills
project on grounds that it violated the Western Shoshone rights under the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act (RFRA). The lawsuit also claimed that the project violated the Federal Land Policy
and Management Act's (FLPMA) prohibition on “unnecessary and undue degradation”, and that the
project's environment impact statement did not meet the requirements of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA). On January 2012, the court issued a decision granting summary judgment in
favor of Barrick and the BLM on all remaining issues. The plaintiffs have appealed this decision to
the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Similarly, in April 2010, the company’s subsidiary Pueblo Viejo Dominicana received a copy of an
action filed in the Dominican Republic by Fundacion Amigo de Maimon, Fundacion Miguel, Pena
Garcia, and a number of individuals. The action alleged several matters couched as violations of
fundamental rights, including taking of private property, violations of mining and environmental and
other laws, slavery, human trafficking, and bribery of government officials. In addition, Barrick is
involved in other legal proceedings. Although, the company maintains reserves to cover the costs
for claims and lawsuits, such litigations would impact the company's brand image and reputation.
Opportunities
Poised to benefit from the acquisition of Equinox Minerals
The company is continuously focused on strengthening its position through strategic acquisition. In
this view, in July 2011, Barrick acquired a 98% stake in Equinox Minerals, a Canadian mining
Barrick Gold Corporation Page 22

23. Barrick Gold Corporation
SWOT Analysis
company. The acquisition would add a high-quality, long-life asset to the company’s portfolio and is
consistent with its strategy of increasing gold and copper reserves through exploration and
acquisitions. It would add 5.7 billion pounds of copper reserves, including 4.5 billion pounds of copper
reserves at Lumwana and 1.2 billion pounds of copper reserves at Jabal Sayid, plus an additional
5.5 billion pounds of inferred copper resources at Lumwana. Combined with Barrick’s Zaldivar mine
and Cerro Casale project in Chile, this acquisition would position the company with significant
production growth potential in two of the most prolific copper-producing regions of the world.
Increasing gold prices
Average gold prices in all major markets across the world have been increasing since 2007. The
gold prices have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 17% during 2008–12.The gold price
in October 2012 was $1,746.58 per troy ounce, as compared to $806.62 per troy ounce in October
2008. In addition, the price of gold has increased by 5% in the last one year. Growing investment
demand, economic uncertainty, and a weak US Dollar are continuing to support gold prices.
Barrick generates a significant part of its revenues and earnings from gold sales. Favorable pricing
environment would benefit the company's financial performance in the short term.
Growing demand for gold
According to Informa, the global gold market grew by 31.4% in 2011 to reach a value of $110,099.2
million and a volume of 2,011.3 thousand metric tons. In 2016, the global gold market is forecasted
to have a value of $169,655.4 million, an increase of 54.1% since 2011 and a volume of 2,488.3
thousand metric tons, an increase of 23.7% since 2011. Barrick Gold is the leading player in the
global gold market, generating a 13.5% share of the market's volume. Thus, Barrick can take
advantage of this growing demand and increase its revenue and future growth.
Threats
Strong competition
The company faces a strong competition in the industry in which it operates. Barrick competes with
other mining companies and individuals for mining claims and leases on exploration properties and
the acquisition of mining assets. In addition, the company competes with other mining companies
to attract and retain key executives and employees. Barrick’s key competitors include Newmont
Mining, Rio Tinto, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, AngloGold Ashanti, DRDGOLD, Gold Fields,
Harmony Gold Mining Company, Lihir Gold, BHP Billiton, Xstrata, Agnico-Eagle Mines, Goldcorp,
Kinross Gold, New Gold, NovaGold Resources, Silver Wheaton, and Yamana Gold. This competition
may increase the company’s cost of acquiring suitable claims, properties, and assets, should they
become available to it. Such strong competition could impact the company’s market share.
Risk from foreign investments and operations
Barrick Gold Corporation Page 23
© MarketLine
24. Barrick Gold Corporation
SWOT Analysis
Barrick conducts mining, development, and exploration activities in many countries, including the
US, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Dominican Republic, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan,
and Tanzania. Mining investments are subject to the risks normally associated with any conduct of
business in foreign countries including: uncertain political and economic environments; war, terrorism,
and civil disturbances; changes in laws or policies of particular countries; royalty and tax increases
or other claims by government entities; risk of expropriation and nationalization; delays in obtaining
or the inability to obtain or maintain necessary governmental permits; and other similar factors.
These risks may limit or disrupt operating mines or projects, restrict the movement of funds, cause
the company to expend more funds than previously expected or required, or result in the deprivation
of contract rights, or the taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair
compensation. This may materially adversely impact Barrick’s financial position or results of
operations. Furthermore, in the event of a dispute arising from the company’s activities in Argentina,
Chile, Peru, Dominican Republic, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, or Tanzania, the company may be
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts outside North America and Australia, which could
adversely impact the outcome of the dispute.
Environmental laws and regulations
Barrick's ongoing mining operations and exploration activities are subject to extensive laws and
regulations governing the protection of the environment, waste disposal, worker safety, mine
development, and protection of endangered and other special status species. In addition, the
company's ability to successfully obtain key permits and approvals to explore for, develop, and
operate mines and to successfully operate in communities around the world would depend on its
ability to develop, operate, and close mines in a manner that is consistent with the creation of social
and economic benefits in the surrounding communities. Barrick's ability to obtain permits and
approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely impacted by real
or perceived detrimental events associated with Barrick's activities or those of other mining companies
impacting the environment, human health and safety, or the surrounding communities.
Delays in obtaining or failure to obtain government permits and approvals may adversely influence
Barrick's operations, including its ability to explore or develop properties, commence production, or
continue operations. The company has made, and expects to make in the future, significant
expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations and, to the extent reasonably practicable,
create social and economic benefit in the surrounding communities. Future changes in applicable
laws, regulations, and permits, or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation, could
have an adverse impact on Barrick's financial condition or results of operations.

COMPANY VIEW
A statement by Aaron Regent, former President and Chief Executive Officer at Barrick, is given
below. The statement has been taken from the company’s FY2011 annual report.
During a year of increased market volatility and persistent concerns about the fiscal and economic
challenges that lay ahead of us, gold continued to broaden its appeal as a means to preserve and
grow wealth. The metal continued to perform well, setting a new record, underpinned by strong
investment demand in traditional markets, surging demand from emerging economies and accelerating
central bank purchases.
We continue to have a positive outlook on the gold price because the underlying factors driving
demand for the metal are structural and long-term in nature. A stubbornly sluggish economic recovery
in the United States has led to a period of prolonged monetary and fiscal stimulus, with interest rates
expected to remain at historically low levels for the foreseeable future. In Europe, sovereign debt
concerns have put further downward pressure on the Euro currency, while austerity measures
threaten to slow economic growth. Meanwhile, in emerging markets, the threat of rising inflation
persists.
In addition to strong demand, we believe that supply is likely to remain constrained over the long
term, which should further support gold prices. Despite a decade of rising gold prices, the gold mining
industry has struggled to increase supply as new deposits remain scarce and the permitting and
construction environment becomes increasingly complex.
Copper has also performed well, even in the face of continuing uncertainty about the direction of
the global economy. Although prices have been volatile, copper has remained at elevated levels,
with demand underpinned by strong growth in emerging markets, as these countries, particularly
China, industrialize and urbanize. New supply continues to be limited due to many of the same
factors affecting gold: production disruptions, low discovery rates and increased hurdles to put new
resources into production. This has resulted in a solid underpinning for copper prices, which is
expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Taken all together, we believe the fundamentals supporting gold and copper prices are positive and
our focus remains on positioning Barrick to be a prime beneficiary of rising prices over the long term.
Barrick’s production will continue to be dominated by gold, complemented by growing copper
production from existing mines and projects.
Our strategy to create value for Barrick shareholders is focused on five key areas:
maximizing the benefits of rising metal prices by meeting operational and financial targets;
increasing gold and copper reserves and production through exploration and selective acquisitions;
Barrick Gold Corporation Page 26
© MarketLine
27. Barrick Gold Corporation
Company View
maximizing the value of our existing mines and properties by leveraging Barrick’s expertise and
regional infrastructure;
growing production by investing in and developing high return projects; and
continuing to improve corporate social responsibility practices to maintain and strengthen our license
to operate.
By executing on this strategy, we expect to increase earnings and cash flow on a per share basis
and enhance our shareholders’ leverage to metal prices.
In 2011, the Company performed well against this strategy. Barrick met its operating guidance for
the ninth consecutive year, producing 7.7 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of $460 per
ounce, positioning Barrick as one of the lowest cost senior gold producers. Copper production
increased by 23% to 451 million pounds at total cash costs of $1.75 per pound, reflecting six months
of production from the Lumwana mine in Zambia. Adjusted net earnings increased by 33% to a
record $4.7 billion while adjusted operating cash flow increased by 8% to $5.7 billion, also a Company
record. Total gold cash margins grew substantially, rising by 37% to nearly $1,120 per ounce,
compared to a cost increase of 12% over the same period.
Capturing the benefits of margin expansion and strong operating results, Barrick achieved a return
on equity of 22% in 2011. Strong financial results also allowed us to raise our quarterly dividend by
25%. In fact, the Company has increased its dividend by 170% over the past five years, maintaining
our track record of paying a progressive dividend.
These results also underscore the leverage to gold that Barrick offers its shareholders. Since the
introduction of the largest gold exchange traded fund seven years ago, gold prices have risen by
around 260%. Over the same period, Barrick’s earnings per share have grown by nearly 900%1,
while operating cash flows per share have risen about 500%1.
In 2011, we successfully replaced our gold reserves, which now stand at 140 million ounces, with
an additional 80 million ounces in measured and indicated gold resources. Barrick also has 1.1 billion
ounces of silver contained within gold reserves.
We significantly increased copper reserves and resources through the acquisition of Equinox Minerals,
complementing our existing copper business. Copper reserves nearly doubled from 6.5 billion pounds
to almost 13 billion pounds, measured and indicated copper resources rose 17% to 15 billion pounds
and inferred resources increased 117% to 20 billion pounds. Looking ahead, we see significant
potential to grow copper reserves and resources at the Lumwana mine in Zambia, which is located
in one of the most prolific copper regions of the world, and at the Jabal Sayid project in Saudi Arabia.
Indeed, our investments in exploration are yielding excellent results. In September, we announced
two major new gold discoveries, Red Hill and Goldrush, just six kilometers away from our world-class
Cortez mine in Nevada. Mineralization at both Red Hill and Goldrush remains open in all directions,
Barrick Gold Corporation Page 27

28. Barrick Gold Corporation
Company View
and drilling results indicate the two deposits are part of one large mineralized system. It is still early
days, but results continue to suggest a high likelihood of major resource expansion.
The quality of our portfolio and the Company’s ability to add additional value is another key driver
of Barrick’s success. When you consider the assets we have acquired from other companies, Barrick
has consistently added substantial value, in many cases doubling or even tripling the known reserves
and resources.
We have also used our technical expertise and the deepest talent pool in the gold industry to grow
the value of our projects, improving designs and anticipated recovery rates to improve overall
shareholder returns. In 2011, we made significant progress on two longlife, low cost projects. Our
Pueblo Viejo project is expected to begin production in 2012, with Barrick’s share of average annual
production expected to be 625,000 – 675,000 ounces of gold at total cash costs of $300 – $350 per
ounce in its first full five years of operation. Based on a $1,600 gold price, Pueblo Viejo is expected
to generate around $800 million in average annual EBITDA for Barrick over the same period.
Similarly, we continue to make progress on our Pascua-Lama project on the border of Chile and
Argentina. Once in production, Pascua-Lama will be one of the lowest cost gold mines in the world.
This project is expected to begin producing in 2013, with average annual gold production of 800,000
– 850,000 ounces at negative total cash costs of $225 – $275 per ounce, assuming a $25 silver
price, in its first full five years of operation. Based on a $1,600 gold price and a $30 silver price, this
mine is expected to generate approximately $1.65 billion in average annual EBITDA for Barrick over
this same period. “Capturing the benefits of margin expansion and strong operating results, Barrick
achieved a return on equity of 22% in 2011.”
Once Pueblo Viejo and Pascua-Lama are in production, these two mines are expected to have a
significant positive impact on Barrick’s overall production and cash cost profile.
In 2011, we also advanced the Jabal Sayid project in Saudi Arabia, expected to enter production in
the second half of 2012 with average annual production of 100 – 130 million pounds of copper at
total cash costs of $1.50 – $1.70 per pound in its first full five years of operation.
Looking further ahead, Barrick has a deep pipeline of next generation projects that offer significant
development options for the future. Most importantly the Company has demonstrated its ability to
successfully convert its reserves and resources into world-class, producing mines.
That expertise will serve our shareholders well, as we expect to increase gold, silver and copper
production across the board. Barrick is targeting annual production of 9 million ounces of gold by
2016, along with a significant increase in silver production, from about 3 million ounces in 2011 to
nearly 50 million ounces by 2016. Barrick’s copper production also has the potential to more than
double by 2017, increasing to about 1 billion pounds.
During the year, we also strengthened the Company’s social and environmental performance, as
well as our human rights governance framework. Ongoing challenges with respect to security and
human rights at the Porgera Joint Venture and the North Mara operation underscored the critical
Barrick Gold Corporation Page 28

29. Barrick Gold Corporation
Company View
importance of ensuring our practices on the ground live up to our policy commitments. Barrick was
the first Canadian mining company to formally join the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human
Rights, a leading international forum for governments, private business and non-governmental
organizations who share a public commitment to uphold human rights. In 2011, we also laid the
groundwork for the Company’s new Corporate Social Responsibility Advisory Board, which will hold
its first meeting in 2012. This Board, made up of highly distinguished, leading international experts,
will provide advice and guidance on challenging social and environmental issues and encourage
further innovation and leadership.
Overall, the Company continues to demonstrate a strong track record of social and environmental
performance. This is reflected by our listing on the world-leading Dow Jones Sustainability Index for
the fourth consecutive year, as well as our inclusion on the NASDAQ Global Sustainability Index,
which tracks the world’s top 100 companies in this area.
In conclusion, we expect gold and copper prices will be well supported over the long term, underpinned
by strong supply and demand fundamentals. With competitive operating costs and the industry’s
largest gold production and reserves, and sizable copper production and reserves, Barrick is well
positioned to be a major beneficiary of rising metal prices. This is reflected by the Company’s
expanding margins and record earnings, which has allowed us to consistently increase our dividend.
Looking ahead, we have a growing production base with two world-class projects nearing production,
and a deep project pipeline, which provides us with future investment options. The success and the
progress that we have achieved is a result of the efforts of the 25,000 people who work for this
Company and I want to thank them for what they do for us every day. We truly believe Barrick is a
symbol of value, and we intend to continue working every day to realize that value for our
shareholders.
