BARRICK PUBLISHES 2025 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT AND PERFORMANCE DATA

Barrick Mining Corp. today published its 2025 sustainability report and accompanying performance data, outlining the company's sustainability performance over the past year.

The company's commitment to ensuring a safe culture was reflected in a strong performance across key safety metrics, with a 60-per-cent reduction in total recordable injury frequency rate since 2020 and a 28-per-cent year-on-year reduction in lost-time injuries. The company remains dedicated to continuous safety improvement and strengthening the company's focus on fatality prevention.

Barrick Mining continued to strengthen the company's approach across key sustainability priorities including human rights, water stewardship, biodiversity management and climate resilience. In 2025, 96 per cent of Barrick's employees and 76 per cent of its suppliers were drawn from host countries, with more than $7.1-billion in spending with local and host country suppliers. The company also invested more than $62-million in community-led development initiatives, and in April, 2026, the company published its human rights report, reinforcing the company's commitment to transparency and accountability in how it identifies, manages, and oversees human rights risks and impacts across the company's operations and supply chains.

During the year, the company strengthened the incorporation of environmental and biodiversity considerations into its operational planning and project development. The company continued to advance the application of Barrick's biodiversity risk and impact assessment tool to improve how biodiversity risks are identified, assessed, and managed across the company's operations and projects. The company also continued to optimize its water use via enhanced water reuse and recycling rates, exceeding its target of 80 per cent and advanced its Scope 3 emissions supplier engagement.

Barrick's president and chief executive officer, Mark Hill, said: "As we enter an exciting new phase of growth and delivery, sustainability remains fundamental to how we operate. The principles that have guided us for years remain unchanged: keeping our people safe, mining responsibly, building strong partnerships and delivering long-term value that is shared by all our stakeholders. During the year, we maintained an 'A' rating on our industry-first sustainability scorecard, demonstrating our ability to deliver consistently across the diverse jurisdictions in which we operate."
