based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business
strategies and the environment in which Goldcorp will operate in the
future, including the price of gold, anticipated costs and ability to

operational and development risks, litigation risks, regulatory
restrictions (including environmental regulatory restrictions and
liability), activities by governmental authorities (including changes

exploration, the global economic climate, dilution, share price
volatility, competition, loss of key employees, additional funding
requirements and defective title to mineral claims or property. 
Although Goldcorp has attempted to identify important factors that
could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from
those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other
factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended.

indebtedness, as well as those factors discussed in the section
entitled 'Description of the Business - Risk Factors' in Goldcorp's
annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2010 available at www.sedar.com.  Although Goldcorp has attempted to identify important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause
results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.  There can be
no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual
results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements.  Accordingly, readers should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking
statements are made as of the date hereof and accordingly are subject
