Goldcorp Inc.: Annual Earnings Increase 460% to $286 Million; Record Fourth Quarter Earnings of $102 Million

(All figures are in US dollars unless stated otherwise) -

Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G)(NYSE:GG) is pleased to announce its 2005 annual and fourth quarter results, highlights of which are:

- Record net earnings of $286 million ($0.91 per share) for 2005, an increase of 460% compared with $51 million ($0.27 per share) in 2004.

- Record fourth quarter net earnings of $102 million ($0.30 per share), compared to 2004 earnings of $15 million ($0.08 per share).

- 2005 Gold production increased to 1,136,300 ounces (2004 - 628,000 ounces) and gold sales more than tripled to 1,344,600 ounces at a total cash cost of $22 per ounce (2004- 427,600 ounces at $115 per ounce).

- Fourth quarter gold sales of 307,300 ounces at a total cash cost of minus $73 per ounce, compared with 2004 sales of 113,800 ounces at a total cash cost of $127 per ounce.

- Operating cash flows for the year increased to $466 million, or $1.48 per share (2004 - $53 million, or $0.28 per share). Operating cash flows for the fourth quarter were $137 million, or $0.40 per share (2004 - $22 million, or $0.12 per share).

- Goldcorp will acquire certain Placer Dome assets from Barrick, and the Eleonore gold project in Quebec as a result of the transaction with Virginia Gold Mines; both of which are expected to close during April 2006.

- Total gold production in 2006 from the combined Goldcorp and Placer assets on an annualized basis is expected to be approximately 2 million ounces at a total cash cost of less than $150 per ounce.

Ian Telfer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldcorp, said, "The record breaking earnings and production results are indicative of the Company's ability to deliver value through successful acquisitions. With the expected acquisition of Placer's assets combined with organic growth, Goldcorp will remain the fastest growing, lowest cost multimillion ounce gold producer, with production expected to double from 2005 to 2007."

1) The Company has included a non-GAAP performance measure, total cash cost per gold ounce, throughout this document. The Company reports total cash costs on a sales basis. In the gold mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning, and is a non-GAAP measure. The Company follows the recommendations of the Gold Institute standard. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures, prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

OVERVIEW

Goldcorp is a leading gold producer engaged in gold mining and related activities including exploration, extraction, processing and reclamation. As a result of the successful acquisition of Wheaton on February 14, 2005, the Company's assets are comprised of the Red Lake gold mine in Canada, a 37.5% interest in the Alumbrera gold/copper mine in Argentina, the Luismin gold/silver mines in Mexico, the Peak gold mine in Australia, and the Wharf gold mine in the United States. Significant development projects as at December 31, 2005 include the expansion of the existing Red Lake mine, the Los Filos/Bermejal gold project in Mexico and the Amapari gold project in northern Brazil. Goldcorp also owns a 59% interest in Silver Wheaton Corp ("Silver Wheaton"), a publicly traded silver mining company (see Subsequent Events).

Goldcorp is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol: GG) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (symbol: G). In addition, the Company has five series of share purchase warrants which trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange; two of which also trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The Series A, B and C share purchase warrants replaced the former Wheaton share purchase warrants as of April 15, 2005, adding to the two previously existing series of Goldcorp share purchase warrants.

Goldcorp's strategy is to provide its shareholders with superior returns from high quality assets. The Company has a strong and liquid balance sheet and has not hedged or sold forward any of its future gold production.

Goldcorp is the world's lowest cost million ounce gold producer. Production in 2006 is expected to approximate 2 million ounces of gold on an annualized basis, at a total cash cost of less than $150 per ounce, following the acquisition of Placer assets from Barrick.

ACQUISITION OF WHEATON RIVER MINERALS LTD.

On December 6, 2004, Goldcorp and Wheaton announced a proposed transaction which provided for Goldcorp to make a take-over bid for Wheaton on the basis of one Goldcorp share for every four Wheaton shares. On December 29, 2004, Goldcorp mailed the Goldcorp Take-over Bid Circular to the Wheaton shareholders.

On February 8, 2005, Goldcorp announced a special $0.50 per share cash dividend would be payable to existing Goldcorp shareholders should shareholders approve by majority Goldcorp's take-over bid for Wheaton and Wheaton shareholders tender the minimum two-thirds bid requirement. The payment of the special dividend also resulted in an adjustment to the exchange ratio of Goldcorp's outstanding warrants - an increase in entitlement from 2.0 to 2.08 Goldcorp shares per warrant.

On February 10, 2005, at a special meeting, Goldcorp shareholders approved the issuance of additional Goldcorp common shares to effect the acquisition of Wheaton. As of February 14, 2005, the effective date of the acquisition, approximately 70% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares were tendered to Goldcorp's offer. With conditions met, the special $0.50 per share cash dividend, totalling approximately $95 million, was paid on February 28, 2005.

As of March 31, 2005, Goldcorp held approximately 82% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares and by April 15, 2005, 100% had been acquired. Consideration amounted to $1,887 million satisfied by the issue of 143.8 million Goldcorp shares at a price of $13.13 per share. In addition, each Wheaton warrant or stock option, which gave the holder the right to acquire common shares of Wheaton, was exchanged for a warrant or stock option of Goldcorp, giving the holder the right to acquire common shares of Goldcorp on the same basis as the exchange of Wheaton common shares for Goldcorp common shares.

This business combination has been accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and Wheaton as the acquiree in accordance with CICA 1581 "Business Combinations". The consolidated financial statements include 82% of Wheaton's operating results for the period February 15, 2005 to April 15, 2005, and 100% of the results thereafter.

The purchase consideration has been allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with goodwill assigned to specific reporting units, based on management's best estimates and taking into account all available information at the time of acquisition as well as applicable information at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. This process was performed in accordance with recent accounting pronouncements relating to "Mining Assets and Business Combinations" (Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 152).

An independent valuation of the significant assets acquired was completed in February 2006, supporting management's allocation of the purchase consideration.

Review of Annual Financial Results:

Goldcorp was transformed during February 2005 by the acquisition of Wheaton, which resulted in a substantial increase in revenues, gold production and sales, earnings, cash flows and assets. Also during 2005, the Company discontinued its previous practice of holding back from sale approximately one-third of mine production. As a result, 2005 gold sales include approximately 220,000 ounces of gold from inventory produced, but not sold, in 2004.

Review of Quarterly Financial Results:

Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $102 million or $0.30 per share, compared with $15 million or $0.08 per share in 2004. Net earnings increased significantly, primarily due to the acquisition of Wheaton on February 14, 2005, together with higher realized metal prices and a dilution gain on Silver Wheaton of $19 million. Effective April 1, 2005, the Company discontinued its previous practice of holding back from sale approximately one-third of mine production. As a result, the results for the second quarter of 2005 include the sale of approximately 276,000 ounces of gold from inventory produced in prior quarters. During the fourth quarter of 2004, negative cash flow from operations was due primarily to the payment of cash taxes.

The Red Lake mine had another strong year, producing 616,400 ounces of gold at a total cash cost of $93 per ounce, compared with 551,900 ounces of gold at a total cash cost of $92 per ounce in 2004. The average mill feed grade was 82 grams/tonne (2004 - 77 grams/tonne) and recoveries were maintained at 97%. The higher grades in 2005 were offset by the effect of a 7% stronger Canadian Dollar relative to the United States dollar compared to 2004, leaving total cash costs virtually unchanged. Prior to March 31, 2005, the Company had adopted a policy of holding back from sale approximately one-third of mine production. This policy was discontinued effective April 1, 2005, and the gold bullion inventory was sold during the second quarter of 2005. Current year gold sales of 814,200 ounces included 199,300 ounces of gold from inventory held at the beginning of the year.

During the year, significant progress was made relating to underground development work required to connect the new shaft to the existing mine. This development work is ahead of schedule, which will allow completion prior to the shaft reaching its full depth. The shaft was advanced by 710 metres in 2005, bringing the depth to 1,408 metres as at December 31, 2005. On surface, the haul road has been upgraded and the new ore loading facility and conveyor near the mill were erected. Completion of the new shaft and related infrastructure is on track for completion in late 2007, with the expanded mill to be ready for operation in mid 2007.

During the year, a comprehensive strategic review of the mine, including the new shaft and related infrastructure, was completed with the goal of optimizing the value of future mine cash flows. A detailed plan was adopted that will reduce capital costs and provide many operational benefits to the mine. The revised plan includes completing the new shaft to a depth of 1,950 meters and connecting the existing underground workings with a decline at the 43 level. The lower mine (below 37 level) will now be completely trackless, allowing far greater flexibility. The small volume of truck haulage using the deeper ramp system will still allow access to a depth of at least 2,600 meters with cost effective capital and operating costs. In conjunction with these concept changes, the mine ventilation is to be further upgraded to accommodate higher mine production and increasing regulatory standards.

As part of the overall project optimization, the mill throughput rate will be expanded by 25% to approximately 1,130 tonnes per day instead of the previously planned expansion rate of 900 tonnes per day. The new shaft has an ultimate hoisting capacity of 3,630 tonnes per day, so it will not be a constraint under the revised plan. As a result of these enhancements, total capital expenditures for the new shaft and surface facilities are estimated to be Cdn $196 million, of which Cdn $96 million remains outstanding.

The new shaft design will allow for sinking to greater depths in the future, as warranted, without impacting normal shaft hoisting operations. The new plan also allows for earlier positioning of exploration drill locations much lower in the mine to facilitate more effective and less expensive deeper exploration.

Planning to integrate the Red Lake mine with the Campbell mine, to be acquired from Placer Dome, has already commenced. As part of its strategic goal to consolidate the Red Lake mining area, Goldcorp has acquired a 10% interest in Wolfden Resources Inc., a company with substantial prospective land holdings in the region.

During 2005, the Company paid income tax instalments of $9 million. Income taxes payable at December 31, 2005 amounted to approximately $60 million, which were paid in February 2006.

(1) Alumbrera's operations are included in Goldcorp's operating
results for the period subsequent to February 14, 2005, the
date of acquisition of Wheaton. Alumbrera was not owned by
Goldcorp during 2004, data shown is for comparative purposes
only.

(2) The calculation of total cash costs per ounce of gold for
Alumbrera is net of by-product copper sales revenue. If copper
production were treated as a co-product, average total cash
costs at Alumbrera for the year ended December 31, 2005 would
be $166 per ounce of gold and $0.83 per pound of copper
(December 31, 2004 - $167 per ounce of gold and $0.50 per pound
of copper).

During fiscal 2005, Alumbrera established a new record for tonnes of ore milled, primarily as a result of on-going productivity improvements assisted by the flotation plant expansion completed during 2004.

Average gold grades mined decreased approximately 13% compared with 2004, in line with plan, and are expected to be 10% higher in 2006. Copper grades were in line with 2004 as were gold and copper metallurgical recoveries.

Average realized gold and copper prices were 11% and 43% higher, respectively, compared to 2004. Operating costs for the year were adversely affected by inflationary pressures, primarily a doubling of copper concentrate treatment and refining charges, a 36% increase in ocean freight costs, a 60% increase in fuel costs and a 20% increase in electricity, compared with 2004. The effect of the increased costs was offset by higher realized copper prices, resulting in total cash costs of minus $643 per ounce of gold, compared with minus $371 per ounce in 2004. In accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy, metal sales prices are subject to adjustment on final settlement. This can be a factor in causing average realized prices to differ from average spot prices.

Alumbrera had an excellent fourth quarter, with higher average grades and excellent recoveries. Record shipments of concentrates were also achieved for the quarter.

In August 2005, Alumbrera announced an increase in ore reserves of more than 10%, which added 500,000 ounces of gold and 375 million pounds of contained copper (Goldcorp's share - 188,000 ounces of gold and 141 million pounds of copper). Further intensive in-pit resource definition work will be performed with the objective of adding additional ore reserves in 2006. In conjunction with the exploration work, open pit trials of multiple benching and pre-splitting continues to produce excellent results in the upper benches of the mine, further reinforcing the possible opportunities to optimize the pit ore recovered and reduce waste rock volumes.

Initial work has begun on an 8% throughput expansion of the concentrator to a 40 million tonne per annum milling capacity through the installation of a 6.7MW ball mill and ancillary equipment. Orders for major long lead time equipment were placed in 2005. The capital cost of the concentrator expansion is estimated at $16 million (Goldcorp's share $6 million) with commissioning expected by the end of 2006.

During 2004, Alumbrera accrued cash taxes payable of $46 million (Goldcorp's share), which were paid in May 2005. Goldcorp's share of Alumbrera cash taxes accrued for 2005 amounted to $62 million of which $33 million remain to be paid in May 2006.

Earnings from operations of Alumbrera are presented after depreciating the fair value of Alumbrera's assets related to the Wheaton acquisition, whereas the 2004 figures presented for comparative purposes only include depreciation related to the original costs of the assets.

(1) Luismin's results are included in Goldcorp's operating results
for the period subsequent to February 14, 2005, the date of
acquisition of Wheaton. Luismin was not owned by Goldcorp during
2004, data shown is for comparative purposes only.

(2) Subsequent to October 15, 2004, all Luismin silver is sold to
Silver Wheaton at a price of $3.90 per ounce. The calculation of
total cash costs per ounce of gold is net of by-product silver
sales revenue of $3.90 per silver ounce (pro forma basis prior
to October 15, 2004).

During 2005, Luismin achieved record production for the second consecutive year. Luismin continues to invest in infrastructure and exploration at the San Dimas mine, which has allowed for access to better grades and increased haulage efficiency. During the year, the mill capacity was increased by 30% to 2,100 tonnes per day. This, together with improved ore grades, resulted in an increase in gold production by 25% (silver 16%), compared to 2004 on a full year over year basis. Cash costs were higher during 2005 compared to 2004, due primarily to fuel and labour cost pressures, as well as under-utilization of mill capacity.

Exploration activities continued throughout the year, confirming the continuity of the veins 175 meters below the current mining levels of the high grade zones in the Central Block at San Dimas, and a new breccia-type ore body discovered in the Nukay mine. Proven and probable reserves were increased by 21%, compared with 2004, after taking into account production during the year. Subsequent to December 31, 2005, Silver Wheaton agreed to amend its existing silver contract with Luismin resulting in an increase in ownership of Silver Wheaton by Goldcorp to 62% (refer to Subsequent Events section).

Earnings from operations of Luismin are presented after depreciating the fair value of Luismin's assets related to the Wheaton acquisition, whereas the 2004 figures presented for comparative purposes only include depreciation related to the original costs of the assets. In addition, the prior year earnings from operations included approximately nine months of silver sales at spot prices, prior to Luismin entering into a contract with Silver Wheaton under which silver is sold to Silver Wheaton at $3.90 per silver ounce.

2004, data shown is for comparative purposes only.

(2) The calculation of total cash costs per ounce of gold is net
of by-product copper sales revenue.

The Peak mine sold 120,700 ounces of gold for the period subsequent to February 14, 2005, the date of acquisition of Wheaton (2004 - 139,700 gold ounces). Plant capacity was successfully increased by 6% to 700,000 tonnes per annum in July 2005, and mill improvements resulted in better ore processing control, providing improved recoveries in the fourth quarter. These improvements, combined with higher copper prices, produced total cash costs of $228 per gold ounce for the year (2004 - $192/oz), despite inflationary cost pressures and lower average grades, compared with 2004.

Significant improvements were made to the operation during the year, including successful construction and commissioning of the New Cobar underground mine, and plant upgrades and de-bottlenecking. During 2006, the main priority is to increase mill throughput to use full plant capacity of 700,000 tonnes per annum with the aim to ramp up to 750,000 tonnes per annum in 2007.

Exploration work and delineation drilling continues to focus on New Cobar, Upper Peak and Perseverance Zone D, where additional resources have been discovered during the year.

The Wharf Mine produced 62,500 ounces of gold in 2005 (2004 - 76,100 ounces). Gold sales were 80,800 ounces, compared to 62,300 ounces in 2004. The increase in gold sales is due to the discontinuance of the Company's previous policy of holding back from sale approximately one-third of mine production. Current year gold sales included 22,000 ounces of gold held as inventory at December 31, 2004.

Total cash costs were $304 per ounce in 2005, compared to $255 per ounce during 2004, primarily as a result of lower tonnes processed and State taxes on gold sales, resulting from higher realized gold prices.

Mine operations will continue throughout 2006 at the Trojan pit and are then expected to cease in the second quarter of 2007. Gold will continue to be produced from the heap leach pads throughout 2007.

The on-going progressive reclamation practice is an important aspect of the successful mine site rehabilitation program at the Wharf and Golden Reward properties. As part of the ongoing program, approximately 26 acres of disturbed land were reclaimed in the Trojan pit area in 2005.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW

Amapari Project

Project commissioning continued during the fourth quarter of 2005, focusing on consistently achieving the design throughput rates for the crushing, agglomeration and stacking systems. During the fourth quarter, 532,000 tonnes of ore grading 2.68 grams/tonne (contained gold of 45,900 ounces) were stacked on the heap leach pads and placed under irrigation. Mining of ore and pre-stripping of waste continued during the fourth quarter from five pits, with 3.6 million tonnes of waste removed and 550,000 tonnes of ore mined. During the year, 918,000 tonnes of ore were stacked on the heap leach pads, grading 2.54 grams/tonne (contained gold of 74,800 ounces) and 7.4 million tonnes of waste were mined. The mining fleet is now fully equipped, with all large haul trucks commissioned and put into operation. During the fourth quarter, commissioning also continued on the hydrometallurgical plant, with a total of 24,700 ounces of gold poured, and construction of the main workshop, reclaimer and spent ore conveyor system was also completed. Commercial production was achieved effective January 1, 2006.

At December 31, 2005, direct construction costs for the project totaled $83 million. These costs continued to be negatively impacted by the strong Brazilian currency, which has appreciated against the United States dollar by 32% since construction commenced. This currency appreciation, together with oil and steel price increases, has increased total costs by approximately $29 million above budget. Also, additional expenditures of $27 million have been incurred, which were originally anticipated in 2006 and future years, in order to increase mining flexibility. These expenditures primarily relate to additional mining fleet and pre-stripping costs.

Infill drilling in the main pit continues to assist long term open pit and underground mine planning. Exploration activities continue at Urucum East where diamond drilling has intersected 11.6 metres at 2.15 grams/tonne of gold. Ground geophysical surveys have commenced at Timbo where a 3 km trend of prospective terrain was previously outlined. Exploration work programs consisting of mapping and sampling were undertaken on three other projects within the 120 kilometer long tenement package.

Los Filos/Bermejal Project

On March 31, 2005, Goldcorp completed the acquisition of the 2.4 million ounce Bermejal gold deposit in Mexico for cash consideration of $70 million, from a joint venture of Industrias Penoles S.A. de C.V. and Newmont Mining Corporation. The Bermejal gold deposit is located just 2 kilometres south of Goldcorp's Los Filos gold deposit.

The Company plans to develop the two deposits as a single operation with two open pits and one single heap leach pad facility. A detailed engineering study for the combined project will be completed during the first quarter of 2006.

Several primary infrastructure development activities commenced during 2005 such as upgrading the existing road and construction of power and water supply systems, which are expected to be completed during March 2006.

Pre-stripping of the Los Filos pit was commenced, with the arrival of the mine equipment for this pit. All of the mine equipment required for the Bermejal pit, as well as all the major process equipment, was ordered during the year in order to secure adequate delivery dates.

Environmental permits for infrastructure works and the development of both pits have been obtained. Environmental impact assessments, which include the new pad area and both pits, as well as the land use change technical study and the environmental risk analysis have been approved by the Mexican Government Agency. All significant permits required have now been received.

Capital expenditures to December 31, 2005 amounted to $84 million and commercial production is projected to commence at the end of the first quarter of 2007.

Depreciation and depletion, which relates to mining activities, increased to $135 million for the year, compared to $21 million in 2004 and $25 million in 2003, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Wheaton mining assets effective February 15, 2005 and the resulting fair value allocation to those assets.

Corporate administration costs increased during 2005, compared to the same period in 2004 and 2003, due primarily to increased corporate activity relating to the Wheaton acquisition and the consolidation of Wheaton's operating results in 2005.

As a result of the acquisition of Wheaton, Goldcorp stock options which existed at December 31, 2004 became fully vested during the first quarter of 2005 and were expensed in the amount of $5.3 million. During the year, the Company granted 5,095,000 stock options vesting over a period of three years, with a fair value of $20.4 million. Of this, stock option expense of $7.9 million has been recognized in the year, $8.4 million will be recognized in 2006, $3.3 million in 2007 and $0.8 million in 2008.

During the current year, the Company realized gains on disposal of marketable securities held of $10.1 million. In 2004, the Company recorded a $9.0 million provision for decline in the value of marketable securities while in 2003, the Company recorded gains of $10.2 million. During 2005, the Company disposed of certain non-core assets, including industrial minerals and oil and gas operations, for a net gain of approximately $0.5 million, included in other income.

During the fourth quarter of 2005 Silver Wheaton, a publicly traded company, completed a private placement of shares with third parties, which resulted in a dilution in Goldcorp's share interest from 65% to 59%. As a result of the dilution in share ownership, a dilution gain of $18.7 million arose, being the difference between the Company's share of the proceeds and the underlying equity of the shares involved.

Corporate transaction costs in 2005, pertaining to the acquisition of Wheaton, in the amount of $3.6 million relate to severance and restructuring of insurance policies, which may not be capitalized as acquisition costs under current accounting standards and thus have been expensed.

INCOME AND MINING TAXES

Income and mining taxes for the year ended December 31, 2005 totalled $142.4 million, approximately 34% of earnings before taxes and dilution gain. In 2004, income and mining taxes were $30.1 million, or 37% of earnings before taxes. (2003 - $54.0 million or 37%).

The lower effective tax rate during 2005 is due to the lower statutory tax rates applicable to the Wheaton operations. The statutory tax rate at Goldcorp's Canadian operations is approximately 40% while the combined statutory tax rate at the Wheaton operations is approximately 30%.

NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

During the year ended December 31, 2005, Goldcorp acquired an 82% interest in Wheaton, which resulted in an 18% non-controlling interest in the amount of $141.9 million. During the period February 15 to April 15, 2005, the non-controlling interest's share of Wheaton's net earnings was $3.5 million. Goldcorp acquired the 18% non-controlling interest's share of Wheaton on April 15, 2005.

A further non-controlling interest, in the amount of $54.9 million, arose as a result of the Wheaton acquisition with respect to Wheaton's 65% ownership of its subsidiary, Silver Wheaton. This interest decreased to 59% during the year, following the issuance of additional shares by Silver Wheaton to non-controlling interests. The non-controlling interests, share of Silver Wheaton net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $8.6 million.

NON-GAAP MEASURE - PRO FORMA ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS

"Pro Forma Adjusted Net Earnings" when used with respect to Goldcorp net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005, refers to net earnings that include 100% of the earnings of Goldcorp and Wheaton for the full year, adjusted for certain items that management of Goldcorp believes facilitates the evaluation of future operations. Pro Forma Adjusted Net Earnings excludes non-recurring stock option expenses and corporate transaction costs (including investment banking, legal, and other fees relating to the acquisition of Wheaton) and includes adjustments for gold bullion withheld or sold during the period and estimated additional depreciation and depletion. Management believes that such adjustments are appropriate. Pro Forma Adjusted Net Earnings should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings determined in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). For a reconciliation of Pro Forma Adjusted Net Earnings to net earnings, based on the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, see "Reconciliation of Pro Forma Adjusted Net Earnings to Net Earnings". Pro Forma Adjusted Net Earnings is not a recognized measure under GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, and may differ from methods by which other companies calculate such measures and, accordingly, such measures as used herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, the pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future.

NON-GAAP MEASURE - TOTAL CASH COST PER GOLD OUNCE CALCULATION

The Company has included a non-GAAP performance measure, total cash cost per gold ounce, throughout this document. The Company reports total cash costs on a sales basis. In the gold mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning, and is a non-GAAP measure. The Company follows the recommendations of the Gold Institute standard. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures, prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce to the financial statements:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2005 the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $562 million (December 31, 2004 - $333 million) and working capital of $555 million (December 31, 2004 - $400 million).

In the opinion of management, the working capital at December 31, 2005, together with cash flows from operations, are sufficient to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis.

Total assets increased to $4,066 million at December 31, 2005 from $702 million at December 31, 2004, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Wheaton. The Wheaton acquisition, financed by the issuance of Goldcorp common shares, resulted in an increase in total assets of $3,069 million, an increase in total liabilities of $860 million, and an increase in shareholders' equity of $2,209 million. Mining interests increased by $2,502 million, representing the fair value of Wheaton's mining properties acquired, and goodwill was recorded of $149 million. Future income tax liabilities of $632 million were accrued on the acquisition and will be amortized to income as the related mining interests are depreciated. Accounting for income taxes uses the liability method which takes into consideration the differences between accounting and tax values of all assets and liabilities. In particular, on business acquisitions, the Company grosses up the value of mining interests acquired to reflect the recognition of future income tax liabilities for the tax effect of such differences.

During the year, the Company generated operating cash flows of $466 million compared with $53 million during 2004. The favourable non-cash operating working capital movement of $47 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily resulted from the second quarter sale of the gold bullion inventory, and accrued taxes of $93 million as at December 31, 2005, to be paid in 2006. Conversely, a negative non-cash operating working capital movement of $49 million during the year ended December 31, 2004 was largely due to cash tax payments.

The acquisition of Wheaton during 2005 resulted in net cash acquired of $132 million after cash payments of acquisition costs. In January 2005, the Company invested cash of $70 million to acquire the Bermejal property in Mexico. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company invested a total of $278 million in mining interests, including $58 million at Red Lake, $125 million at the Luismin operations, $64 million at Amapari and $20 million at Peak.

Cash dividend payments for the year totalled $151 million, primarily due to the payment of a special $0.50 per share cash dividend, totalling approximately $95 million, during the first quarter. The Company paid a monthly dividend of $0.015 per share, resulting in cash dividend payments for the year of $56 million.

As of March 3, 2006, there were 341 million common shares of the Company issued and outstanding and 13.6 million stock options outstanding under its share option plan. In addition, the Company had 7 million share purchase warrants outstanding (exchangeable for 14.5 million common shares) and 161.5 million Series A, B and C share purchase warrants outstanding (exchangeable for 40.4 million common shares), issued in exchange for existing Wheaton share purchase warrants.

Derivative instruments

The Company employs, from time to time, interest rate and Canadian dollar forward and option contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in metal prices and foreign currency exchange rates.

Contractual obligations

Commitments exist at Red Lake, Alumbrera, Luismin, Amapari, and Peak until 2007 for capital expenditures of approximately $122 million. The Company rents premises and leases equipment under operating leases that expire over the next five years. Operating lease expense in 2005 was $7,570,000 (2004 - $5,267,000; 2003 - $6,672,000). Following is a schedule of future minimum rental and lease payments required:

Related party transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2005, Goldcorp sold its holdings in three marketable securities to a company owned by Robert R. McEwen, the former non-Executive Chairman and CEO of Goldcorp. These were non-brokered transactions which were executed at market value based on the average of the TSX closing price for the ten trading days prior to the sale agreements, resulting in gains totalling approximately $4 million. During the year, the Company sold its share ownership of Lexam Explorations Inc. to a company owned by Mr. McEwen for proceeds of $0.3 million.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The main risks that can affect the profitability of the Company include changes in metal prices, currency fluctuations, government regulation, foreign operations and environmental.

Metal prices

Profitability of the Company depends on metal prices for gold, silver and copper. A 10% change in the gold, silver or copper prices would impact 2006 budgeted net earnings by approximately 21%, 2% or 5%, respectively, excluding the impact of the Placer assets to be acquired.

Gold, silver and copper prices are affected by numerous factors such as the sale or purchase of gold and silver by various central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuations in the value of the US dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of major gold, silver and copper-producing countries throughout the world.

Currency fluctuations

Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations. Gold, silver and copper are sold in US dollars and the Company's costs are incurred principally in US dollars, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos, Argentine pesos, Australian dollars and Brazilian reals. The appreciation of non-US dollar currencies against the US dollar can increase the cost of gold, silver and copper production and capital expenditure in US dollar terms. From time to time, the Company transacts currency hedging to reduce the risk associated with currency fluctuations. There is no assurance that its hedging strategies will be successful. Currency hedging may require margin activities. Sudden fluctuations in currencies could result in margin calls that could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

Government regulation

The mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities of the Company are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people and other matters. No assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could increase the cost of operations.

Foreign operations

The Company's operations are currently conducted in Mexico, Argentina, Australia and Brazil, and as such the Company's operations are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties vary from country to country and include, but are not limited to, terrorism; hostage taking; military repression; extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; the risks of war or civil unrest; expropriation and nationalization; renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts; illegal mining; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Mexico, Argentina, Australia and Brazil could adversely affect the Company's operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety.

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations or profitability.

Environmental

All phases of the Company's operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations.

Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with the Company's operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company could be curtailed or prohibited from continuing its mining operations or from proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Management has identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates. Note 2 of the Company's consolidated financial statements describes all of the significant accounting policies.

Income and mining taxes

The provision for income and mining taxes is based on the liability method. Future taxes arise from the recognition of the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted or substantively enacted tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those future income tax assets that it believes will, more likely than not, fail to be realized.

Mining Interests

Mining interests are the most significant assets of the Company, representing $2,981 million at December 31, 2005, and represent capitalized expenditures related to the exploration and development of mining properties and related plant and equipment. Capitalized costs are depreciated and depleted using either a unit-of-sale method over the estimated economic life of the mine to which they relate, or using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

The costs associated with mining properties are separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential, and include acquired interests in production, development and exploration stage properties representing the fair value at the time they were acquired. The values of such mineral properties are primarily driven by the nature and amount of material interests believed to be contained or potentially contained, in properties to which they relate.

The Company reviews and evaluates its mining interests for impairment at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on expected future production, commodity prices, operating costs and capital costs.

Reclamation and Closure Costs Obligations

Reclamation and closure costs obligations have been estimated based on the Company's interpretation of current regulatory requirements, however changes in regulatory requirements and new information may result in revisions to estimates. The Company recognizes the fair value of liabilities for reclamation and closure costs obligations in the period in which they are incurred. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related assets is generally recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset.

Goodwill and impairment testing

The acquisition of Wheaton was accounted for using the purchase method whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair market values as of the date of acquisition and any excess of the purchase price over such fair value was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill was identified and allocated to reporting units by preparing estimates of the fair value of each reporting unit and comparing this amount to the fair value of assets and liabilities in the reporting unit.

The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to operations. Assumptions underlying fair value estimates are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Investment in Alumbrera

The Company has joint control over Alumbrera through certain matters requiring unanimous consent in the shareholders' agreement and, therefore, has proportionately consolidated its 37.5% share of the financial statements of Alumbrera from February 15, 2005. On this basis, the Company records its 37.5% share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Alumbrera in these consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosures in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as at December 31, 2005 and found them to meet required standards.

RECENT CANADIAN ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2005 the CICA issued Section 1530, Comprehensive Income. This Section establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income. It does not address issues of recognition or measurement for comprehensive income and its components. The mandatory effective date for the new Section is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In 2005 the CICA issued Section 3855, Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement. This Section establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. The following four fundamental decisions serve as cornerstones underlying this Section:

1) financial instruments and non-financial derivatives represent rights or obligations that meet the definitions of assets or liabilities and should be reported in financial statements;

2) fair value is the most relevant measure for financial instruments and the only relevant measure for derivative financial instruments;

3) only items that are assets or liabilities should be reported as such in financial statements; and

4) special accounting for items designated as being part of a hedging relationship should be provided only for qualifying items.

The mandatory effective date for the new Section is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

During 2005, the CICA also issued Section 3861, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and presentation. This Section establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives, and identifies the information that should be disclosed about them. The presentation paragraphs deal with the classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between liabilities and equity, the classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial assets and financial liabilities are offset. The disclosure paragraphs deal with information about factors that affect the amount, timing and certainty of an entity's future cash flows relating to financial instruments. This Section also deals with disclosure of information about the nature and extent of an entity's use of financial instruments, the business purposes they serve, the risks associated with them and management's policies for controlling those risks. This Section applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2005 the CICA issued Section 3865, Hedges. This Section establishes standards for when and how hedge accounting may be applied. Hedge accounting is optional. This Section is based on the same four fundamental decisions that serve as cornerstones to Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, Section 3855- above. Accordingly, this Section does not affect whether a financial instrument or other derivative is reported in the financial statements. The special accounting permitted by this Section does not affect the requirement that all derivative financial instruments be measured at fair value. This Section generally does not permit gains or losses on hedging items to be deferred in the balance sheet as if they were assets or liabilities. This Section contains requirements that specify when a hedge may qualify for special accounting. The mandatory effective date for the new Section is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In 2005 the CICA issued Section 3831, Non-Monetary Transactions. The main feature of this Section is a general requirement to measure an asset or liability exchanged or transferred in a non-monetary transaction at fair value, unchanged from the requirement in former CICA Section 3830. However, an asset exchanged or transferred in a non-monetary transaction is measured at its carrying amount when:

- the transaction lacks commercial substance;

- the transaction is an exchange of a product or property held for sale in the ordinary course of business for a product or property to be sold in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties to the exchange;

- neither the fair value of the asset received nor the fair value of the asset given up is reliably measurable; or

- the transaction is a non-monetary non-reciprocal transfer to owners that represents a spin-off or other form of restructuring or liquidation.

The "commercial substance" criterion replaces the "culmination of the earnings process" criterion in former Section 3830. The new requirements are effective for non-monetary transactions initiated in periods beginning on or after January 1, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2005, the CICA issued Section 3051, Investments which continues to establish standards for accounting for investments subject to significant influence and for measuring and disclosing certain other non-financial instrument investments. Section 3051 also contains new guidance on when an other-than-temporary decline in value of an investment remaining subject to the Section has occurred. This Section applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

On March 2, 2006, the CICA issued EIC 160, Stripping Costs Incurred in the Production Phase of a Mining Operation. The Emerging Issues Committee reached a consensus that stripping costs should be accounted for according to the benefit received by the entity. Generally, stripping costs should be accounted for as variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the inventory produced (that is, extracted) during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. However, stripping costs should be capitalized if the stripping activity can be shown to represent a betterment to the mineral property. A betterment occurs when the stripping activity provides access to sources of reserves that will be produced in future periods that would not have otherwise been accessible in the absence of this activity. The Committee reached a consensus that capitalized stripping costs should be amortized in a rational and systematic manner over the reserves that directly benefit from the specific stripping activity. In the mining industry, the unit of production method is generally the appropriate method. The Committee noted that the reserves used to amortize capitalized stripping costs will normally differ from those used to amortize the mineral property and related life-of-mine assets as the stripping costs may only relate to a portion of the total reserves. The accounting treatment as described in this Abstract should be applied to stripping costs incurred in fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2006, and may be applied retroactively. The Company is currently evaluating the implications of this announcement.

OUTLOOK

Goldcorp is the world's lowest cost million ounce gold producer. Production in 2006 is expected to approximate 2 million ounces of gold on an annualized basis, at a total cash cost of less than $150 per ounce, following the acquisition of certain Placer assets from Barrick.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a) On October 30, 2005, Goldcorp entered into an agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") to acquire certain mining assets and interests. Barrick has offered to acquire all the outstanding shares of Placer Dome Inc. ("Placer Dome") for approximately $10.1 billion in shares and cash and, in a separate agreement, upon closing of Barrick's transaction with Placer Dome, Goldcorp has agreed to purchase from Barrick certain of Placer Dome's Canadian and other assets for cash of approximately $1.485 billion, subject to adjustment. On March 3, 2006, Barrick owned approximately 94% of Placer Dome and is proceeding with a compulsory acquisition to acquire the remaining outstanding shares. The Goldcorp transaction is expected to close on April 1, 2006, following Barrick's acquisition of 100% of the Placer Dome common shares.

Subject to any required consents and government approvals, Goldcorp will acquire Placer Dome's interests in the Campbell, Porcupine and Musselwhite gold mines in Ontario, and the La Coipa gold/silver mine in Chile. Goldcorp will also acquire a 40% interest in the Pueblo Viejo gold development project in the Dominican Republic, together with Placer Dome's interest in its Canadian exploration properties, including the Mount Milligan copper/gold deposit in British Columbia.

In order to fund this proposed transaction, Goldcorp intends to use a portion of its current cash balances, $500 million from its existing revolving credit facilities, and new credit facilities of $900 million. The new $900 million credit facilities will be unsecured, and amounts drawn down will incur interest at LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.125% per annum dependent upon the Company's leverage ratio, increasing by an additional 0.125% per annum if the total amount drawn under this facility exceeds $450 million. Undrawn amounts will be subject to a 0.15% to 0.25% per annum commitment fee dependent on the Company's leverage ratio. All amounts drawn will be required to be refinanced or repaid within two years of the closing date.

This business combination will be accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and the Placer Dome operations as the acquiree. The results of operations of the acquired assets will be included in the consolidated financial statements of Goldcorp from the date of acquisition. After consummation of the proposed acquisition of Placer Dome operations and assets, Goldcorp will complete an exercise to value the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, including any goodwill that may arise.

(b) On December 5, 2005, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement with Virginia Gold Mines Inc. ("Virginia") to acquire Virginia's Eleonore gold project in Quebec pursuant to a plan of arrangement involving Virginia. Under the agreement, shareholders of Virginia will receive 0.4 of a Goldcorp common share and 0.5 of a share in a new public exploration company for each issued and outstanding Virginia share. Virginia will be acquired by Goldcorp and Goldcorp will retain the Eleonore project. The new public exploration company will hold all other assets of Virginia, including net working capital, cash to be received prior to closing from the exercise of Virginia options and warrants, its non-Eleonore exploration assets and a sliding scale 2% net smelter return royalty on the Eleonore project. The transaction is valued at approximately $445 million. Goldcorp will issue 19.6 million common shares pursuant to the transaction, representing approximately 5% of the total common shares outstanding after giving effect to this transaction. Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by Virginia shareholders and receipt of regulatory approvals and is expected to close during April 2006.

(c) On February 13, 2006, Goldcorp announced that it has agreed to amend its existing silver purchase agreement with Silver Wheaton, in connection with Goldcorp's plans to substantially increase its investment in exploration and development at its San Dimas mine in Mexico.

Under the existing silver purchase agreement dated October 15, 2004, Silver Wheaton is entitled to purchase all of the silver produced by Goldcorp's Mexican operations, Luismin, for a per ounce cash payment of the lesser of US$3.90 and the prevailing market price (subject to an inflationary adjustment commencing in 2007). Further, Luismin is required to deliver a minimum of 120 million ounces over the 25 year contract period and Silver Wheaton is obligated to pay 50% of any capital expenditures made by Luismin at its mining operations in excess of 110% of the projected capital expenditures outlined in the agreement.

Goldcorp and Silver Wheaton have agreed to amend the existing agreement, increasing the minimum number of ounces of silver to be delivered over the 25 year contract period by 100 million ounces, to 220 million ounces, and waiving any capital expenditure contributions previously required to be paid by Silver Wheaton. In consideration for these amendments, Silver Wheaton will issue to Goldcorp 18 million common shares representing 9.8% of the outstanding shares of Silver Wheaton, and a US$20 million promissory note, increasing Goldcorp's ownership to 62%, or 126 million common shares of Silver Wheaton. Goldcorp does not have any present intention to acquire ownership of, or control over, any additional securities of Silver Wheaton. The total consideration of US$150 million is equal to the approximate value of Silver Wheaton's share of the future capital expenditures estimated over the remaining life of the existing agreement.

(d) On February 23, 2006, Silver Wheaton announced that it had agreed to purchase 4.75 million ounces of silver per year, for a period of 20 years, from Glencore International AG, equivalent to the production from their Yauliyacu mining operations in Peru. With this acquisition, Silver Wheaton is expected to have annual silver sales of over 15 million ounces in 2006, increasing to 20 million ounces by 2009 and thereafter.

Silver Wheaton will pay an upfront payment of US$285 million, comprised of US$245 million in cash and a US$40 million promissory note, and US$3.90 per ounce of silver delivered under the contract (subject to an inflationary adjustment after three years).

Yauliyacu is a low-cost silver/lead/zinc mine located in central Peru which has been in continuous operation for more than 100 years and is expected to produce an average of 6 million ounces of silver per year during the term of the contract. In the event that silver produced at Yauliyacu in any year totals less than 4.75 million ounces, the amount sold to Silver Wheaton in subsequent years will be increased to make up for the shortfall, so long as production allows.

During the term of the contract, Silver Wheaton will have a right of first refusal on any future sales of silver streams from the Yauliyacu mine and a right of first offer on future sales of silver from any other mine currently owned by Glencore. In addition, Silver Wheaton will also have an option to extend the 20 year term of the silver purchase agreement in five year increments, on substantially the same terms as the existing agreement, subject to an adjustment related to silver price expectations at the time and other factors.

In order to fund the US$245 million cash consideration, Silver Wheaton intends to use cash on hand of US$120 million, together with US$125 million of bank debt.

Closing of the transaction is subject to execution of definitive agreements and receipt of all regulatory approvals and third-party consents, including acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange. The transaction is expected to close by March 15, 2006.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in thousands)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp" or "the Company") is a leading gold producer engaged in gold mining and related activities including exploration, extraction, processing and reclamation. As a result of the successful acquisition of Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. ("Wheaton") during the year (note 3), the Company's assets are comprised of the Red Lake gold mine in Canada, a 37.5% interest in the Alumbrera gold/copper mine in Argentina, the Luismin gold/silver mines in Mexico, the Peak gold mine in Australia, and the Wharf gold mine in the United States. Significant development projects include the expansion of the existing Red Lake mine, the Los Filos/Bermejal gold project in Mexico and the Amapari gold project in northern Brazil. Goldcorp also owns a 59% interest in Silver Wheaton Corp. ("Silver Wheaton"), a publicly traded silver mining company.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP").

(a) Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements reflect the results of Goldcorp's Red Lake and Wharf mines, together with an 82% interest in those of Wheaton from February 15 to April 15, 2005 and 100% thereafter (note 3).

The principal mining properties of Goldcorp are listed below:

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

(c) Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of metals is recognized in the accounts when title and risk passes to the buyer, collection is reasonably assured and the price is reasonably determinable. Revenue from the sale of metals in concentrate may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal prices, weights and assays. Adjustments to revenue for metal prices are recorded monthly and other adjustments are recorded on final settlement. Refining and treatment charges are netted against revenue for sales of metal concentrate.

(d) Investment in Alumbrera

The Company has joint control over Alumbrera through certain matters requiring unanimous consent in the shareholders' agreement and, therefore, has proportionately consolidated its 37.5% share of the financial statements of Alumbrera from February 15, 2005. On this basis, the Company records its 37.5% share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Alumbrera in these consolidated financial statements.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, and those short-term money market instruments that are readily convertible to cash with an original term of less than 90 days.

(f) Marketable securities

Marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost or market value.

(g) Inventories and stockpiled ore

Work-in-process inventories, stockpiled ore and finished goods are valued at the lower of average production cost or net realizable value. Production costs include the cost of raw materials, direct labour, mine-site overhead expenses and depreciation and depletion of mining interests. Supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or replacement cost.

(h) Mining Interests

Mining interests represent capitalized expenditures related to the exploration and development of mining properties and related plant and equipment. Capitalized costs are depreciated and depleted using either a unit-of-sale method over the estimated economic life of the mine to which they relate, or using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

The costs associated with mining properties are separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential, and include acquired interests in production, development and exploration stage properties representing the fair value at the time they were acquired. The value allocated to reserves is depreciated on a unit-of-sale method over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine. The resource value represents the property interests that are believed to potentially contain mineralized material such as inferred material within pits; measured, indicated, and inferred resources with insufficient drill spacing to qualify as proven and probable reserves; and inferred resources in close proximity to proven and probable reserves. Exploration potential represents the estimated mineralized material contained within (i) areas adjacent to existing reserves and mineralization located within the immediate mine area; (ii) areas outside of immediate mine areas that are not part of measured, indicated, or inferred resources; and (iii) greenfields exploration potential that is not associated with any other production, development, or exploration stage property, as described above.

Costs related to property acquisitions are capitalized until the viability of the mineral property is determined. When it is determined that a property is not economically viable the capitalized costs are written-off.

Exploration costs incurred to the date of establishing that a property is economically recoverable are charged to earnings. Further development expenditures are capitalized to the property.

Mining expenditures incurred either to develop new ore bodies or to develop mine areas in advance of current production are capitalized. Commercial production is deemed to have commenced when management determines that the completion of operational commissioning of major mine and plant components is completed, operating results are being achieved consistently for a period of time and that there are indicators that these operating results will be continued. Mine development costs incurred to maintain current production are included in operating expenses.

Upon sale or abandonment the cost of the property and equipment, and related accumulated depreciation or depletion, are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses thereon are included in operations.

The Company reviews and evaluates its mining properties for impairment at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on expected future production, commodity prices, operating costs and capital costs.

(i) Goodwill

Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method whereby assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values as of the date of acquisition and any excess of the purchase price over such fair value is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is identified and allocated to reporting units by preparing estimates of the fair value of each reporting unit and comparing this amount to the fair value of assets and liabilities in the reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized.

The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to operations. Assumptions underlying fair value estimates are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

(j) Silver contract

Contracts for which settlement is called for in silver are recorded at cost. The cost of this asset is separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value allocated to reserves is depreciated on a unit-of-sale basis over the estimated recoverable reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific contract.

Evaluations of the carrying values of each contract are undertaken at least annually to determine if estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying value. Estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are calculated using estimated production, sales prices and purchase costs. If it is determined that the undiscounted future net cash flows from an operation are less than the carrying value then a write-down is recorded with a charge to operations.

(k) Long-term investments

Long-term investments are carried at cost. When a decline in market value that is other than temporary has occurred, these investments are written down to provide for the loss.

(l) Income and mining taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Upon business acquisitions, the liability method results in a gross up of mining interests to reflect the recognition of the future tax liabilities for the tax effect of such differences.

Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. A reduction in respect of the benefit of a future tax asset (a valuation allowance) is recorded against any future tax asset if it is not likely to be realized. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the tax rate changes.

(m) Reclamation and closure cost obligations

The Company's mining and exploration activities are subject to various governmental laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These environmental regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. The Company has recorded a liability and corresponding asset for the estimated future cost of reclamation and closure, including site rehabilitation and long-term treatment and monitoring costs discounted to net present value. Such estimates are, however, subject to change based on negotiations with regulatory authorities, or changes in laws and regulations. Changes in estimated discount rates are reviewed annually or as new information becomes available.

(n) Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests exist on less than wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and represents the outside interest's share of the carrying values of the subsidiaries. When the subsidiary company issues its own shares to outside interests, a dilution gain or loss arises as a result of the difference between the Company's share of the proceeds and the underlying equity of the shares involved.

(o) Foreign currency translation

Prior to April 1, 2005, the Canadian dollar was determined to be the measurement currency of the Company's Canadian operations and these operations have been translated into United States dollars up until this date using the current rate method as follows: all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; all revenue and expense items are translated at the average rate of exchange for the period; and the resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA"), a separate component of shareholders' equity. Subsequent to the change in measurement currency described below, the CTA balance will remain the same until reporting units which gave rise to the CTA balance is disposed of or retired. In addition, unrealized gains and losses due to movements in exchange rates on cash balances held in foreign currencies are shown separately on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Due to the Wheaton acquisition and related changes, including holding a greater proportion of the Company's cash in United States dollars, it has been determined that as of April 1, 2005, the United States dollar is the reporting and measurement currency of the Company's Canadian operations and therefore these operations have been translated using the temporal method from that date onward. All operations outside of Canada, including those of Wheaton, previously applied the United States dollar as their reporting and measurement currency and therefore translated their operating results using the temporal method. Under this method, foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange at the transaction date; foreign currency transactions are translated at the United States dollar rate prevailing on the transaction dates; and foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of earnings.

(p) Earnings per share

Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury method which requires the calculation of diluted earnings per share by assuming that outstanding share purchase options, warrants, and restricted share units with an average market price that exceeds the average exercise prices of the options and warrants for the year, are exercised and the proceeds are used to repurchase shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the period.

(q) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company applies the fair value method of accounting for all stock option awards. Under this method the Company recognizes a compensation expense for all stock options awarded to employees since January 1, 2003, based on the fair value of the options on the date of grant which is determined by using an option pricing model. The fair value of the options is expensed over the vesting period of the options. Stock options issued to employees before January 1, 2003 were accounted for using the settlement method and accordingly, no compensation expense has been recorded.

(r) Financial instruments

The Company employs, from time to time, interest rate and Canadian dollar forward and option contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

(s) Comparative amounts

Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On December 6, 2004, Goldcorp and Wheaton announced a proposed transaction which provided for Goldcorp to make a take-over bid for Wheaton on the basis of one Goldcorp share for every four Wheaton shares. On December 29, 2004, Goldcorp mailed the Goldcorp Take-over Bid Circular to the Wheaton shareholders.

On February 8, 2005, Goldcorp announced a special $0.50 per share cash dividend would be payable to existing Goldcorp shareholders should shareholders approve by majority Goldcorp's take-over bid for Wheaton and Wheaton shareholders tender the minimum two-thirds bid requirement. The payment of the special dividend also resulted in an adjustment to the exchange ratio of Goldcorp's outstanding warrants - an increase in entitlement from 2.0 to 2.08 Goldcorp shares per warrant.

On February 10, 2005, at a special meeting, Goldcorp shareholders approved the issuance of additional Goldcorp common shares to effect the acquisition of Wheaton. As of February 14, 2005, the effective date of acquisition, approximately 70% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares were tendered to Goldcorp's offer, satisfying the minimum two-thirds bid requirement under the terms of the Goldcorp offer. With conditions met, the special $0.50 per share cash dividend, totaling approximately $95 million, was paid on February 28, 2005.

As of March 31, 2005, Goldcorp held approximately 82% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares and by April 15, 2005, 100% had been acquired. In addition, each Wheaton warrant or stock option, which gave the holder the right to acquire common shares of Wheaton, was exchanged for a warrant or stock option of Goldcorp, giving the holder the right to acquire common shares of Goldcorp on the same basis as the exchange of Wheaton common shares for Goldcorp common shares.

This business combination has been accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and Wheaton as the acquiree in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 1581 "Business Combinations". These consolidated financial statements include 82% of Wheaton's operating results for the period February 15 to April 15, 2005, and 100% of the results thereafter.

The allocation of the purchase price of the shares of Wheaton is summarized in the following table:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

A total of 143.8 million Goldcorp shares were issued to acquire a 100% interest in the shares of Wheaton at a price of $13.13 per share. This issue price is the five-day average share price of Goldcorp common shares at February 8, 2005, reduced by the amount of the special dividend.

For the purposes of these consolidated financial statements, the purchase consideration has been allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with goodwill assigned to specific reporting units, based on management's best estimates and taking into account all available information at the time of acquisition as well as applicable information at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. This process was performed in accordance with recent accounting pronouncements relating to "Mining Assets and Business Combinations" (Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 152).

An independent valuation of the significant assets acquired was completed in February, 2006, supporting management's allocation of the purchase consideration.

4. ACQUISITION

On March 31, 2005, Goldcorp completed the acquisition of the Bermejal gold deposit in Mexico for cash consideration of US$70 million from a joint venture of Industrias Penoles SA de CV and Newmont Mining Corporation. The Bermejal gold deposit is located two kilometres south of Goldcorp's Los Filos gold deposit. The Company plans to develop the two deposits as a single project, the Los Filos/Bermejal project, and a detailed engineering study for the combined project is scheduled to be completed in March 2006.

5. SILVER CONTRACT

Silver Wheaton has an agreement to purchase all of the silver produced by Lundin Mining Corporation's Zinkgruvan mine in Sweden for a per ounce cash payment of the lesser of $3.90 and the prevailing market price, subject to adjustment. The carrying value of the silver contract at December 31, 2005 is $74,639,000 which is being amortized on a unit-of-sale basis.

6. CORPORATE TRANSACTION COSTS

Certain costs associated with the restructuring of Goldcorp's Toronto office, following the acquisition of Wheaton, including severance and restructuring of insurance policies, may not be capitalized as acquisition costs under current accounting standards. These costs have been expensed in the amount of $3,592,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

10. BANK CREDIT FACILITIES

(a) The Company has an Aus$5,000,000 ($3,668,000), unsecured, revolving working capital facility for its Peak mine operations of which $nil was drawn down at December 31, 2005. The loan bears interest related to the Australian Treasury Bill rate plus 1.5% per annum.

(b) During 2005, the Company cancelled a $300 million acquisition facility and a $75 million revolving working capital facility, both of which were undrawn.

(c) On July 29, 2005, Goldcorp entered into a $500 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of five lenders. The facility is unsecured and available to finance acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. Amounts drawn incur interest at LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.125% per annum dependent upon the Company's leverage ratio, increasing by an additional 0.125% per annum if the total amount drawn under this facility exceeds $250 million. Undrawn amounts are subject to a 0.15% to 0.25% per annum commitment fee dependent on the Company's leverage ratio. All amounts drawn are required to be refinanced or repaid by July 29, 2010. The facility is undrawn as at December 31, 2005.

11. RECLAMATION AND CLOSURE COST OBLIGATIONS

The Company's asset retirement obligations consist of reclamation and closure costs for both active and inactive mines. The present value of obligations relating to active mines is currently estimated at $49,890,000 (2004 - $21,204,000) reflecting payments for approximately the next 55 years. The present value of obligations relating to inactive mines is currently estimated at $7,834,000 (2004 - $5,199,000) reflecting payments for approximately the next 10 years. Significant reclamation and closure activities include land rehabilitation, demolition of buildings and mine facilities, ongoing care and maintenance and other costs.

The liability for reclamation and closure cost obligations at December 31, 2005 is $57,724,000 (2004 - $26,403,000). The undiscounted value of this liability is $78,227,000 (2004 - $39,399,000). An inflation rate assumption of 2% has been used. An accretion expense component of $8,149,000 (2004 - $1,329,000) has been charged in 2005 to reflect an increase in the carrying amount of the asset retirement obligation which has been determined using a discount rate of 5%. Changes to the reclamation and closure cost balance during the year are as follows:

12. FUTURE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND OTHER

Future employee benefits and other consist of a defined benefit pension plan for certain Mexican employees and certain future employee benefits for Australian and Canadian employees.

13. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

On February 14, 2005, Goldcorp acquired an 82% interest in Wheaton (note 3) which resulted in the recording of an 18% non-controlling interest of $141,850,000. During the period February 15 to April 15, 2005, the non-controlling interest's share of Wheaton's net earnings was $3,548,000. During the same period, Wheaton issued common shares to non-controlling interests from the exercise of stock options and warrants in the amount of $3,255,000. Goldcorp acquired the remaining 18% non-controlling interest's share of Wheaton on April 15, 2005.

A further non-controlling interest arose as a result of the Wheaton acquisition with respect to Wheaton's 65% ownership of its subsidiary, Silver Wheaton. This interest decreased to 59% during the year following the issuance of additional shares by Silver Wheaton to non-controlling interests. This dilution of the Company's interest gave rise to a gain of $18,732,000 which has been recognized in income for the current year.

The detail of this non-controlling interest in Silver Wheaton is as follows:

At January 1, 2005 $ -
Arising upon acquisition of Wheaton 54,908
Shares issued to non-controlling
interests, net $ 83,482
Less: increase in net assets
attributable to Goldcorp (48,307)
Add: Book value of dilution of Goldcorp's
share of net assets 9,876 45,051

Share of net earnings of Silver Wheaton 8,642
--------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 2005 $ 108,601
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Subsequent to December 31, 2005, the Company's ownership interest in Silver Wheaton will increase to 62% following the issuance to the Company of 18 million common shares and a $20 million promissory note (note 19).

Total non-controlling interest for the year on the statement of earnings is comprised of $8,642,000 related to Silver Wheaton and $3,548,000 related to Wheaton for the period February 15 to April 15, 2005.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had 339,642,000 common shares outstanding (December 31, 2004 - 189,980,000). Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for movement in capital stock.

(a) Share Purchase Warrants

The payment of a special dividend (note 3) during February 2005 resulted in an adjustment to the exchange ratio of Goldcorp's warrants outstanding prior to the acquisition of Wheaton - an increase in entitlement from 2.0 to 2.08 Goldcorp shares per warrant. Upon completion of the Wheaton transaction on April 15, 2005, Goldcorp issued 174.8 million Series A, B and C share purchase warrants to the former Wheaton share purchase warrant holders. Each share purchase warrant is exercisable for 0.25 Goldcorp common shares at prices ranging from C$1.65 to C$3.10 (or C$6.60 to C$12.40 for four share purchase warrants which are exchangeable for one Goldcorp common share), with expiry dates ranging from 2007 to 2008.

(b) Stock Options

On May 15, 2005, shareholders approved the Company's 2005 Stock Option Plan which allows for up to 12.5 million stock options, with a maximum exercise period of ten years, to be granted to employees, officers and consultants.

The Company recognizes a compensation expense for all stock options awarded since January 1, 2003, based on the fair value of the options on the date of grant which is determined by using an option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3% (2004 - 4%); dividend yield of 1% (2004 - 1%); volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 30% (2004 - 42%); and a weighted average expected life of the options of fours years (2004 - five years). The fair value of the options is expensed over the vesting period of the options. No compensation expense had been recorded for stock options issued before January 1, 2003. As a result of the acquisition of Wheaton, all Goldcorp stock options which existed at December 31, 2004 became fully vested during the first quarter of 2005 and were expensed in the amount of $5,320,000. On April 15, 2005, as a result of the Wheaton acquisition, Wheaton stock options with a fair value of $30,794,000 were converted to 4.9 million Goldcorp stock options, all of which are fully vested and are exercisable at prices ranging from C$2.28 to C$15.68, with expiry dates ranging from 2006 to 2010.

In addition, during the year, the Company granted 5,095,000 stock options which vest over a period of three years, are exercisable at prices ranging from C$19.23 to C$23.39 per option, expire in 2015, and have a total fair value of $20,338,000. Compensation expense of $7,905,000 has been recognized during the year and the remainder will be recognized as the stock options vest.

(b) During the year ended December 31, 2005, Goldcorp was served with Statements of Claim with respect to a class action against, among others, the Company and certain of its directors. The plaintiffs are seeking an unspecified amount of damages as a result of stock options granted in September 2004. The claims allege that the defendants acted on material non-public information at the time of the option grants. The Company believes that the allegations are unfounded and intends to vigorously defend these claims.

(c) Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company's operations, variouis legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2005, Goldcorp sold its holdings in three marketable securities to a company owned by Robert McEwen, the former non-Executive Chairman and CEO of Goldcorp. These were non-brokered transactions which were executed at market value based on the average of the TSX closing price for the ten trading days prior to the sale agreements, resulting in gains totaling approximately $4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company sold its share ownership of Lexam Explorations Inc. to a company owned by Mr. McEwen for proceeds of $0.3 million.

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a) On October 30, 2005, Goldcorp entered into an agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") to acquire certain mining assets and interests. Barrick has offered to acquire all the outstanding shares of Placer Dome Inc. ("Placer Dome") for approximately $10.1 billion in shares and cash and in a separate agreement, upon closing of Barrick's transaction with Placer Dome, Goldcorp has agreed to purchase from Barrick certain of Placer Dome's Canadian and other assets for cash of approximately $1.485 billion, subject to adjustment. On March 3, 2006, Barrick owned approximately 94% of Placer Dome and is proceeding with a compulsory acquisition to acquire the remaining outstanding shares. The Goldcorp transaction is expected to close on April 1, 2006, following Barrick's acquisition of 100% of the Placer Dome common shares.

Subject to any required consents and government approvals, Goldcorp will acquire Placer Dome's interests in the Campbell, Porcupine and Musselwhite gold mines in Ontario, and the La Coipa gold/silver mine in Chile. Goldcorp will also acquire a 40% interest in the Pueblo Viejo gold development project in the Dominican Republic, together with Placer Dome's interest in its Canadian exploration properties, including the Mount Milligan copper/gold deposit in British Columbia.

In order to fund this proposed transaction, Goldcorp intends to use a portion of its current cash balances, $500 million from its existing revolving credit facilities, and new credit facilities of $900 million. The new $900 million credit facilities will be unsecured, and amounts drawn down will incur interest at LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.125% per annum dependent upon the Company's leverage ratio, increasing by an additional 0.125% per annum if the total amount drawn under this facility exceeds $450 million. Undrawn amounts will be subject to a 0.15% to 0.25% per annum commitment fee dependent on the Company's leverage ratio. All amounts drawn will be required to be refinanced or repaid within two years of the closing date.

This business combination will be accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and the Placer Dome operations as the acquiree. The results of operations of the acquired assets will be included in the consolidated financial statements of Goldcorp from the date of acquisition. After consummation of the proposed acquisition of Placer Dome operations and assets, Goldcorp will complete an exercise to value the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, including any goodwill that may arise in the acquisition.

(b) On December 5, 2005, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement with Virginia Gold Mines Inc. ("Virginia") to acquire Virginia's Eleonore gold project in Quebec pursuant to a plan of arrangement involving Virginia. Under the agreement, shareholders of Virginia will receive 0.4 of a Goldcorp common share and 0.5 of a share in a new public exploration company for each issued and outstanding Virginia share. Virginia will be acquired by Goldcorp and Goldcorp will retain the Eleonore project. The new public exploration company will hold all other assets of Virginia, including net working capital, cash to be received prior to closing from the exercise of Virginia options and warrants, its non-Eleonore exploration assets and a sliding scale 2% net smelter return royalty on the Eleonore project. Based on the 10-day weighted average trading price for Goldcorp's common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange of C$24.70, the transaction is valued at approximately $445 million. Goldcorp will issue 19.6 million common shares pursuant to the transaction, representing approximately 5% of the total common share outstanding after giving effect to this transaction. Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by Virginia shareholders and receipt of regulatory approvals and is expected to close during April 2006.

(c) On February 13, 2006, Goldcorp announced that it has agreed to amend its existing silver purchase agreement with Silver Wheaton, in connection with Goldcorp's plans to substantially increase its investment in exploration and development at its San Dimas mine in Mexico.

Under the existing silver purchase agreement dated October 15, 2004, Silver Wheaton is entitled to purchase all of the silver produced by Goldcorp's Mexican operations, Luismin, for a per ounce cash payment of the lesser of US$3.90 and the prevailing market price (subject to an inflationary adjustment commencing in 2007). Further, Luismin is required to deliver a minimum of 120 million ounces over the 25 year contract period and Silver Wheaton is obligated to pay 50% of any capital expenditures made by Luismin at its mining operations in excess of 110% of the projected capital expenditures outlined in the agreement.

Goldcorp and Silver Wheaton have agreed to amend the existing agreement, increasing the minimum number of ounces of silver to be delivered over the 25 year contract period by 100 million ounces, to 220 million ounces, and waiving any capital expenditure contributions previously required to be paid by Silver Wheaton. In consideration for these amendments, Silver Wheaton will issue to Goldcorp 18 million common shares representing 9.8% of the outstanding shares of Silver Wheaton, and a US$20 million promissory note, increasing Goldcorp's ownership to 62%, or 126 million common shares of Silver Wheaton. Goldcorp does not have any present intention to acquire ownership of, or control over, any additional securities of Silver Wheaton. The total consideration of US$150 million is equal to the approximate value of Silver Wheaton's share of the future capital expenditures estimated over the remaining life of the existing agreement.

(d) On February 23, 2006, Silver Wheaton announced that it had agreed to purchase 4.75 million ounces of silver per year, for a period of 20 years, from Glencore International AG, equivalent to the production from their Yauliyacu mining operations in Peru. With this acquisition, Silver Wheaton is expected to have annual silver sales of over 15 million ounces in 2006, increasing to 20 million ounces by 2009 and thereafter.

Silver Wheaton will pay an upfront payment of US$285 million, comprised of US$245 million in cash and a US$40 million promissory note, and US$3.90 per ounce of silver delivered under the contract (subject to an inflationary adjustment after three years).

Yauliyacu is a low-cost silver/lead/zinc mine located in central Peru which has been in continuous operation for more than 100 years and is expected to produce an average of 6 million ounces of silver per year during the term of the contract. In the event that silver produced at Yauliyacu in any year totals less than 4.75 million ounces, the amount sold to Silver Wheaton in subsequent years will be increased to make up for the shortfall, so long as production allows.

In order to fund the US$245 million cash consideration, Silver Wheaton intends to use cash on hand of US$120 million, together with US$125 million of bank debt.

Closing of the transaction is subject to execution of definitive agreements and receipt of all regulatory approvals and third-party consents, including acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange. The transaction is expected to close by March 15, 2006.
