All dollar amounts in this prospectus are in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated. See "Exchange Rate
Information".
See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 5 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in
connection with an investment in the Notes.
Exchange Offer:
Barrick's offer to exchange Initial 2018 Notes for New 2018 Notes and Initial 2023 Notes for New 2023 Notes and BNAF's offer to
exchange Initial 2043 Notes for New 2043 Notes will be open until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 20, 2013, unless
Barrick and BNAF extend the offer.
New Notes of each series will be issued in exchange for an equal principal amount of outstanding Initial Notes of such series
accepted in the exchange offer. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of Initial Notes being
tendered for exchange. However, the obligation to accept the Initial Notes for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer is subject to
certain customary conditions set forth herein. See "Exchange Offer--Terms of the Exchange Offer--Conditions."
The earnings coverage ratios of Barrick for the 12 months ended December 31, 2012, and June 30, 2013 are less than
one-to-one. See "Earnings Coverage."
There is no market through which these securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to
resell securities purchased under the short form prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the securities
in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the
securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 5.
Barrick is permitted to prepare this prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Prospective
investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included
or incorporated herein, if any, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, and may be subject
to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United
States companies.
Owning the debt securities may subject you to tax consequences both in the United States and Canada. You should read
the tax discussion in this prospectus. This prospectus may not describe these tax consequences fully.
Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because
Barrick is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, some of the officers and directors of Barrick and
BNAF and some of the experts named in this prospectus are residents outside of the United States and a majority of Barrick's
assets and the assets of those officers, directors and experts are located outside of the United States.
THE DEBT SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE ONTARIO SECURITIES
COMMISSION, THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR,
NOR HAS THE ONTARIO SECURITIES COMMISSION, THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR
ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
Prospective investors should be aware that, during the period of the exchange offer, the registrants or their respective
affiliates, directly or indirectly, may bid for or make purchases of the debt securities to be distributed or to be exchanged, or
certain related debt securities, as permitted by applicable laws or regulations of Canada, or its provinces or territories.
This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by broker-dealers in connection with resales
of New Notes received in exchange for Initial Notes, where such Initial Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market making or other trading activities.
The date of this prospectus is August 19, 2013.

statements of Barrick for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 reflect the impact of

management's discussion and analysis, material change report (excluding any confidential material change reports), business
acquisition report or information circular or amendments thereto that Barrick files with any securities commission or similar
regulatory authority in Canada after the date of this prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering of the New Notes will be

13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), subsequent to the date of
this prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering of the New Notes to which this prospectus relates shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part from the date of
filing or furnishing of such documents (in the case of any Report on Form 6-K, if and to the extent expressly set forth in such report).
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein or contained in
this prospectus shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent any statement
contained herein or in any subsequently filed or furnished document which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a
part hereof except as so modified or superseded. The modifying or superseding statement need not state that it has modified
or superseded a prior statement or include any information set forth in the document that it modifies or supersedes. The
making of a modifying or superseding statement shall not be deemed an admission for any purpose that the modified or
superseded statement, when made, constituted a misrepresentation, an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to
state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the
circumstances in which it was made.
