PART 1 — INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE SENT TO SHAREHOLDERS
Item 1.  Home Jurisdiction Documents
Item 2.  Informational Legends
     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14D-9F amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9F (as amended, the “Schedule 14D-9F”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2007 by Arizona Star Resources Corp. (“Arizona Star”).
     The Schedule 14D-9F relates to the offer (the “offer”) by Barrick Gold Corporation, to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Arizona Star which includes common shares that may become outstanding after the date of the offer but before the Expiry Time of the offer upon conversion, exchange or exercise of options or other securities of Arizona Star that are convertible or exchangeable or exerciseable for common shares. Under the terms of the offer, Arizona Star shareholders will receive C$18.00 in cash for each Arizona Star common share tendered. The offer is open for acceptance until 8:00 pm (Toronto time) on December 18, 2007, unless extended or withdrawn.
     Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the respective meaning assigned to such terms in the Directors’ Circular filed as Part I of the initial 14D-9F.
The Director’s Circular is amended as follows:
     Notice to Shareholders in the United States (page 2 of the Directors’ Circular) is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
     “This tender offer is made for the securities of a foreign issuer and while the offer is subject to disclosure requirements of the country in which the subject issuer is incorporated or organized, investors should be aware that these requirements are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included herein, if any, have been prepared in accordance with foreign generally accepted accounting principles and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.
     The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the issuer is located in a foreign country, and that some or all of its officers and directors are residents of a foreign country.”
