TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Feb. 22, 2007) - Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX)(TSX:ABX)(LSE:BGD) -
YEAR-END REPORT 2006 - FEBRUARY 22, 2007
Based on US GAAP and expressed in US dollars
For a full explanation of results, the Financial Statements and Management Discussion & Analysis, reserves &
resources and mine statistics, please see the Company's website, www.barrick.com.
Highlights
- 2006 net income was $1.51 billion ($1.77 per share) and operating cash flow was $2.12 billion ($2.48 per
share), both Company records, and representing year over year growth of 136% and 84% in EPS and CFPS,
respectively.
- Q4 net income was $418 million ($0.48 per share) and operating cash flow was $337 million ($0.38 per share)
on gold sales of 2.3 million ounces at total cash costs of $287 per ounce(1). Operating cash flow was reduced
by $327 million ($0.37 per share) as a result of a voluntary gold hedge reduction of 1 million ounces.
- Full year production was 8.64 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of $282 per ounce and 367 million
pounds of copper at total cash costs of $0.79 per pound(1). This was the fourth consecutive year that Barrick
met its original production and cash cost guidance despite continued production and cost pressures in the
mining industry.
- Gold reserves as at December 31, 2006, based on $475 gold price, were 123 million ounces(2), the highest in
the industry.
- Fixed price corporate gold sales contracts have been completely eliminated as of February 21, 2007.
- Sale of South Deep Mine closed for proceeds of $1.5 billion and gain on sale of $288 million.
- Pascua-Lama project received environmental approval from Argentina in December.
(1) Total cash costs is defined as cost of sales divided by ounces of gold sold or pounds of copper sold. Total
cash cost exclude amortization expense and inventory purchase accounting adjustments. For further information
on this performance measure see pages 31 to 32 of the Company's MD&A.
(2) Calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 as required by 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, applies different standards in order to classify mineralization
as a reserve. Accordingly, for U.S. reporting purposes, 1.88 million ounces of the Cortez reserve, Buzwagi and
Pueblo Viejo are classified as mineralized material. For a breakdown of reserves and resources by category and
additional information relating to reserves and resources, pages 111 - 116 of Barrick's 2006 Year-End report.
Barrick Gold Corporation today reported record yearly financial results with net income of $1.51 billion ($1.77
per share) and operating cash flow of $2.12 billion ($2.48 per share) for 2006. Earnings and cash flow per
share rose 136% and 84%, respectively, over 2005 levels of $0.75 and $1.35 per share. 2006 earnings were
reduced by $211 million post-tax ($0.25 per share) of special items, (see page 18 of Management's Discussion
and Analysis for further details).
Fourth quarter 2006 earnings were $418 million ($0.48 per share) compared to earnings of $175 million ($0.32
per share) in the year-earlier period. Q4 2006 earnings were reduced by $28 million ($0.03 per share) of
special items.
Operating cash flow for fourth quarter 2006 was $337 million ($0.38 per share) compared to $269 million ($0.50
per share) in the year-earlier period, due to increased production and higher gold prices, offset by the
voluntary delivery of 1.0 million ounces of Corporate Gold Sales Contracts resulting in a reduction of
operating cash flow of $327 million ($0.37 per share).
For the year, the Company's results benefited from a 58% increase in gold production, a 23% higher realized
gold price, and strong financial results from its copper mines.
"2006 was a banner year for Barrick. We saw payback from our activities of the last few years, in particular
the Placer Dome acquisition, and a full year's production from the new generation of mines translate into
record financial results," said Greg Wilkins, President and CEO. "Looking forward, the Company is well
positioned and leveraged to benefit in a rising gold price environment."
PRODUCTION AND COSTS
Full year production was 8.64 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of $282 per ounce and 367 million
pounds of copper at total cash costs of $0.79 per pound, meeting our original production and cash cost guidance
for both gold and copper. This is the fourth straight year that Barrick has met its operating guidance, which
demonstrates both the Company's ability to deliver on its targets and the success of its cost containment
initiatives, despite escalating cost pressures.
In fourth quarter 2006, Barrick sold 2.28 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of $287 per ounce,
compared to 1.65 million ounces sold at total cash costs of $221 per ounce for the prior-year quarter. The
fourth quarter benefited from strong contributions from the North America and South America business units,
particularly at Lagunas Norte, which produced 1.1 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of $100 per ounce
in its first full year of operations. The Australia Pacific business unit's operating performance in the fourth
quarter was below expectations in part due to a lightning strike at the electrical facilities of the Porgera
mine. Production levels have been curtailed by 50%, but are expected to return to full levels by the end of the
first quarter 2007. Gold production from the Africa business unit included solid performances from the
Tanzanian mines, and production and cash costs for South Deep through to its sale date of December 1.
Full year copper production exceeded the Company's original guidance, due to better than expected grades at
Zaldivar.
RESERVES AND RESOURCES
At year-end 2006, the Company had proven and probable gold reserves of 123 million ounces, based on a $475-per-
ounce gold price. The Company also reported gold mineral resources (measured and indicated) of 35 million
ounces and inferred resources of 25 million ounces based on a $525-per-ounce gold price.
Silver and copper contained in Barrick's gold reserves at year end 2006 were 964 million ounces and 1.1 billion
pounds, respectively. Silver is primarily derived from the Pascua-Lama deposit, one of the largest silver
deposits in the world, which contains 689 million ounces of silver.
Barrick's Copper reserves totaled 6.0 billion pounds, with an additional 6.6 billion pounds of measured and
indicated resources(3).
(3) Calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 as required by Canadian securities regulatory
authorities. For a breakdown of reserves and resources by category and additional information relating to
reserves and resources, see pages 111 - 116 of Barrick's 2006 Year-End Report.
CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT
The Company sold its 50% interest in the South Deep mine to Gold Fields Limited for total consideration of $1.5
billion, including $1.2 billion in cash and the balance in Gold Fields shares. This resulted in a gain on sale
of $288 million ($0.34 per share). Barrick increased its equity interest in Highland Gold from 20% to 34% by
contributing certain Russian assets, and recorded a gain on this transaction of $51 million ($0.06 per share).
The Company concluded its offer for NovaGold, acquiring a 14.8% interest for cash of $218 million.
HEDGE BOOK REDUCTION
During fourth quarter 2006, Barrick reduced its fixed price Corporate Gold Sales Contract position by 1.0
million ounces, and incurred a pre-tax opportunity cost of $327 million ($0.37 per share) against its gold
sales. For the full year, Barrick reduced its fixed price committed gold sales contracts by 9.4 million ounces,
including the elimination of the legacy Placer Dome gold hedge position. At February 21, 2007, the Company had
completely eliminated its fixed price corporate gold sales contract position, more than two years ahead of its
previously announced target date. Furthermore, the Company plans to eliminate the remaining floating spot price
contracts by the end of the second quarter. As a result of these deliveries, the Company expects to incur an
after-tax opportunity cost of $564 million in Q1 2007 and $65 million in Q2 2007.
"Barrick is very positive on the long-term outlook for gold," said Greg Wilkins. "The elimination of all non-
project related hedge contracts allows the Company to benefit fully from higher gold prices at its operating
mines."
FINANCIAL POSITION
In October 2006, Barrick issued $1.0 billion of Copper-Linked Notes that took advantage of high copper prices
and are repayable in the dollar equivalent of 324 million pounds of copper. The issuance secured an average
price of $3.08 per pound on about 30% of expected copper production over the next three years, combined with
ten and thirty year maturities. Barrick has the strongest credit rating in the gold industry; its cash balance
stands at $3.0 billion, and net debt totals $1.1 billion.
Subsequent to year-end, the Company has entered into a transaction where it can further participate in higher
copper prices up to $3.50 per pound, while maintaining a floor price of $3.00 per pound, on the remaining 274
million pounds of copper in the Copper-Linked Notes.
INVESTOR DAY
Barrick is hosting an Investor Day in Toronto on February 22, starting at 9:00 am ET. The event can be viewed
by webcast from this link: www.barrick.com. The Company will be reviewing its 2007 business plans and providing
an update on its project pipeline. A separate press release will be issued later today.
2007 OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE
The Company expects 2007 gold production of 8.1 - 8.4 million ounces and copper production of approximately 400
million pounds. Total cash costs are expected to be in the range of $335 - $350 per ounce for gold and about
$0.90 per pound for copper. Gold production is expected to be slightly weighted to the second half of 2007.
/T/
Guidance for other significant items is as follows:
($ in millions, except for tax rate and amortization)
Corporation administration $140
Exploration $170
Project development expense $190
Other operating expense $115
Interest income $130
Interest expense $95
Capital expenditures(i) $1,100-$1,800
Effective tax rate(ii) 30%
Amortization per ounce - gold $95
Amortization per pound - copper $0.30
(i)Range is subject to the timely receipt of permits and construction
approvals.
(ii)Represents the underlying effective tax rate excluding the impact of
deliveries into corporate gold sales contracts, as well as the impact of
tax rate changes and changes in deferred tax valuation allowances. The
effective tax rate for the full year is expected to be approximately 45%
when the $629 million opportunity cost of delivering into gold sales
contracts in a low tax-rate jurisdiction is included. As a result of these
deliveries, the tax expense in first and second quarters is expected to be
based on the approximate 30% underlying effective tax rate on income
excluding this opportunity cost.
Barrick's vision is to be the world's best gold company by finding,
acquiring, developing and producing quality reserves in a safe, profitable
and socially responsible manner. Barrick's shares are traded on the
Toronto, New York, and London stock exchanges.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain information included in this Press Release, including any information as to our future financial or
operating performance and other statements that express management's expectations or estimates of future
performance, constitute "forward-looking statements". The words "expect", "will", "intend", "estimate" and
similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon
a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject
to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The Company cautions the
reader that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of Barrick to be materially different
from the Company's estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-
looking statements and the forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. These risks,
uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to: changes in the worldwide price of gold, copper
or certain other commodities (such as silver, fuel and electricity) and other currencies; changes in U.S.
dollar interest rates or gold lease rates; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; ability to
successfully integrate acquired assets; legislative, political or economic developments in the jurisdictions in
which the Company carries on business; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or
development activities; employee relations; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including
the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, adverse changes in our credit rating, contests over
title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; and the risks involved in the exploration,
development and mining business. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the Company's most recent
Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian
provincial securities regulatory authorities.
The Company 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.
