VANCOUVER, 02/25/11 - Gold Wheaton Gold Corp. (TSX: GLW) ('Gold Wheaton' or the 'Company') would like to remind the holders of warrants issued on March 5, 2009 of the approaching expiry of their warrants (the 'March 2009 Warrants'). The March 2009 Warrants were issued as part of the Company's C$115.0 million equity financing, under a warrant indenture between Gold Wheaton and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the 'Warrant Agent') dated March 5, 2009, as supplemented on February 4, 2010 (the 'March 2009 Warrant Indenture').

The March 2009 Warrants are set to expire at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on March 5, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the March 2009 Warrant Indenture, the expiry is extended to the next business day. Any March 2009 Warrants remaining unexercised after the extended expiration deadline of 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on Monday, March 7, 2011 (the 'Expiry Time') will be cancelled and will thereafter be of no force or effect.

For warrant holders wishing to exercise the March 2009 Warrants, please contact your investment advisor or the Warrant Agent for detailed instructions on how to exercise.

As announced on January 6, 2011, Gold Wheaton signed a definitive arrangement agreement (the 'Arrangement Agreement') with Franco-Nevada Corporation (TSX: FNV) ('Franco-Nevada') whereby Franco-Nevada will acquire the issued Gold Wheaton common shares that it does not already own for a combination of Franco-Nevada shares and cash by way of a court approved Plan of Arrangement. The Arrangement Agreement provides Gold Wheaton shareholders (other than Franco-Nevada) with the option to elect to receive for each Gold Wheaton common share they hold: (i) a cash payment in the amount of C$5.20 (the 'Cash Consideration'); or (ii) 0.1556 of a common share of Franco-Nevada (the 'Share Consideration'), subject to caps and pro-ration.

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, a holder of Gold Wheaton common shares who wishes to elect to receive the Share Consideration (subject to caps and pro-ration) for each Gold Wheaton common share, must elect to do so on or before March 4, 2011, failing which they will be deemed to have elected to receive the Cash Consideration (subject to caps and pro-ration) for each Gold Wheaton common share. A holder of Gold Wheaton common shares must make the election to receive the Share Consideration by duly signing and delivering to Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the 'Depositary') a Letter of Transmittal and Election form together with the certificate(s) representing their Gold Wheaton common shares on or before 4:30 p.m. (Vancouver time) on March 4, 2011 (the 'Election Deadline'). A copy of the Letter of Transmittal and Election form is available under Gold Wheaton's profile at www.sedar.com (filed on February 9, 2011) or from the Depositary.

A registered holder of March 2009 Warrants who wishes to elect to receive the Share Consideration must exercise their March 2009 Warrants, make the election before the Election Deadline of March 4, 2011 and should contact their investment advisor and/or the Warrant Agent to make arrangements for the certificate(s) representing the Gold Wheaton common shares which they are entitled to receive on the due exercise of their March 2009 Warrants to be delivered to the Depositary (and not delivered to such holder) together with their duly executed Letter of Transmittal and Election form in connection with such Gold Wheaton common shares.

Gold Wheaton common shares issued pursuant to March 2009 Warrants exercised after the Election Deadline and before the Expiry Time will be deemed to have elected to receive the Cash Consideration under the Plan of Arrangement. Please contact your investment advisor or the Warrant Agent for detailed instructions on how to exercise.

Closing of the Plan of Arrangement transaction is subject to customary conditions, including approval by two thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders of Gold Wheaton and additional approval of the majority of the minority shareholders excluding Franco-Nevada at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on March 8, 2011 and receipt of court approval. A copy of Gold Wheaton's management information circular dated February 4, 2011 is available under Gold Wheaton's profile at www.sedar.com. The transaction is expected to close on or about March 14, 2011 (i.e. after the expiry of the March 2009 Warrants).
