 Barrick Gold is an international gold company that operates mines 
 throughout the world. One of the Company's gold mines is the Veladero 
 mine, located in the San Juan Province of Argentina.
 
 
 The shareholder class action complaint alleges that Barrick Gold and 
 certain of its senior executive officers made a series of materially 
 false and misleading statements to investors about the Veladero mine and 
 the Company's outlook and expected financial performance during the 
 Class Period, including statements such as the following: "For 2017, we 
 expect increased production of 770,000 ounces to 830,000 ounces at 
 all-in sustaining cost of $840 per ounce to $940 per ounce" at the 
 Veladero mine.
 
 
 As further detailed in the complaint, during the Class Period the 
 monitoring system at the Veladero mine "detected a rupture of a pipe 
 carrying gold-bearing solution on the leach pad." Subsequently the 
 Company disclosed that the Government of San Juan Province had placed 
 restrictions on the Company's operations at the mine, but also assured 
 investors that it did not "anticipate a material impact to Veladero's 
 2017 production guidance" and reaffirmed its outlook for the mine.
 
 
 Then, on April 24, 2017, Barrick Gold provided a "Veladero Update" to 
 announce a downward revision of its production outlook for the mine. 
 Specifically, the Company disclosed that it only expected "full-year 
 production at Veladero of 630,000-730,000 ounces of gold, at a cost of 
 sales of $740-$790 per ounce, and all-in sustaining costs of $890-$990 
 per ounce."
 
 
 Following this news, shares of the Company's stock fell $2.15 per share, 
 or over 11%, to close on April 25, 2017 at $16.89 per share, on heavy 
 trading volume.
 
 
 Barrick Gold shareholders may, no 
 later than July 10, 2017, seek to be appointed as a lead 
 plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer &amp; 
 Check, or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an 
 absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts 
 on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. In order to 
 be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the 
 class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, 
 and that the class member will adequately represent the class in the 
 action. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the 
 decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. For additional
