Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.

This offering is made by a foreign issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, to prepare this short form prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Prospective investors in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. The financial statements incorporated herein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and may be subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

Prospective investors in the United States should be aware that the acquisition of the securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences for investors who are residents in, or citizens of, the United States may not be fully described herein.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada, that some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a foreign country, that some or all of the experts named in the registration statement may be residents of a foreign country, and that a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation and said persons may be located outside the United States.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This short form prospectus contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements, which are all statements other than statements of historical fact, include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of silver, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, reserve determination and reserve conversion rates. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. All forward-looking statements and forward-looking information is based on reasonable assumptions that have been made by the Corporation as at the date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Silver Wheaton to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the successful completion of the warrant amendment transaction, including obtaining all applicable regulatory, shareholder and Warrantholder approvals and receiving the full estimated proceeds of the exercise of the Warrants, the absence of control over mining operations from which Silver Wheaton purchases silver and risks related to these mining operations, including risks related to international operations, actual results of current exploration activities, actual results of current reclamation activities, conclusions of economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this short form prospectus. Although Silver Wheaton 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 forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements and forward-looking information contained or incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus are included for the purpose of providing investors with information to assist them in understanding the proposed

warrant amendment transaction as well as the Corporation’s expected financial and operational performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Silver Wheaton does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are included or incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS

REGARDING PRESENTATION OF MINERAL RESOURCES

This short form prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. This short form prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, uses the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and “Inferred” Resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. Under United States disclosure standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless a determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

The increased Revolving Loan has a remaining life of approximately six years and the terms are substantially unchanged. The Revolving Loan will be available to fund future growth opportunities. The existing $200 million term loan facility remains in place.

Management Change

Mr. Gary Brown has been appointed Chief Financial Officer of Silver Wheaton effective July 1, 2008. Mr. Brown will replace Nolan Watson.

WARRANT AMENDMENTS

First Warrants

First Warrant Indenture

The First Warrants are governed by the terms of the First Warrant Indenture. The original warrant indenture governing the First Warrants was entered into in connection with a private placement of subscription receipts exchangeable for Common Shares and First Warrants in August 2004. A supplemental indenture to the original warrant indenture was entered into in connection with the issuance of additional First Warrants to Zinkgruvan Mining AB in December 2004. The original warrant indenture, as supplemented, was amended and restated in connection with the change in transfer agent in June 2005.

Pursuant to the terms of the First Warrant Indenture, each First Warrant entitles the holder thereof (a “First Warrantholder” and, collectively, the “First Warrantholders”) to purchase 0.2 of an Underlying Share (subject to adjustment in the case of certain events) (the “Exercise Basis”) at a price of C$0.80 per Underlying Share at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on August 5, 2009, after which time the First Warrants will expire and become null and void. The First Warrant Indenture is available for review under the Corporation’s profile at www.sedar.com, filed on July 5, 2005.

The First Warrant Indenture provides the First Warrantholders with the power, exercisable by “extraordinary resolution” (as defined in the First Warrant Indenture) to, among other things, agree with the Corporation to any modification, alteration, compromise or arrangement of the rights of First Warrantholders. The First Warrant Indenture defines an “extraordinary resolution” to mean a resolution passed at a meeting of First Warrantholders duly convened for the purpose and held in accordance with the provisions of the First Warrant Indenture at which there are First Warrantholders present, in person or by proxy, representing at least 10% of the aggregate number of all of the then outstanding First Warrants and passed by the affirmative votes of the First Warrantholders representing not less than 662/3% of the aggregate number of all of the then outstanding First Warrants represented at the meeting and voted on the poll upon such resolution. See “Warrantholder Meeting”.

First Supplemental Indenture

Immediately upon obtaining all necessary approvals, including the requisite Warrantholder and Shareholder approvals discussed elsewhere in this short form prospectus, the Corporation proposes to enter into a supplemental indenture to the First Warrant Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to provide, among other things, that each First Warrant exercised during the Early Exercise Period will entitle the holder thereof to acquire 0.0148 of a New Warrant in addition to the 0.2 of an Underlying Share otherwise issuable upon the exercise of each First Warrant.

Series A Warrants

Series A Warrant Indenture

The Series A Warrants are governed by the terms of the Series A Warrant Indenture. The Series A Warrant Indenture was entered into in connection with a private placement of units comprising Common Shares and Series A Warrants in November 2004.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Warrant Indenture, each Series A Warrant entitles the holder thereof (a “Series A Warrantholder” and, collectively, the “Series A Warrantholders”) to purchase Underlying Shares on the Exercise Basis at a price of C$1.10 per Underlying Share at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 30, 2009, after which time the Series A Warrants will expire and become null and void. The Series A Warrant Indenture is available for review under the Corporation’s profile at www.sedar.com, filed on April 1, 2005.

The Series A Warrant Indenture provides the Series A Warrantholders with the power, exercisable by “extraordinary resolution” (as defined in the Series A Warrant Indenture) to, among other things, agree with the Corporation to any modification, alteration, compromise or arrangement of the rights of Series A Warrantholders. The Series A Warrant Indenture defines an “extraordinary resolution” to mean a resolution passed at a meeting of Series A Warrantholders duly convened for the purpose and held in accordance with the provisions of the Series A Warrant Indenture at which there are Series A Warrantholders present, in person or by proxy, representing at least 10% of the aggregate number of all of the then outstanding Series A Warrants and passed by the affirmative votes of the Series A Warrantholders representing not less than 662/3% of the aggregate number of all of the then outstanding Series A Warrants represented at the meeting and voted on the poll upon such resolution. See “Warrantholder Meeting”.

Series A Supplemental Indenture

Immediately upon obtaining all necessary approvals, including the requisite Warrantholder and Shareholder approvals discussed elsewhere in this short form prospectus, the Corporation proposes to enter into a supplemental indenture to the Series A Warrant Indenture (the “Series A Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”) to provide, among other things, that each Series A Warrant exercised during the Early Exercise Period will entitle the holder thereof to acquire 0.0340 of a New Warrant in addition to the 0.2 of an Underlying Share otherwise issuable upon the exercise of each Series A Warrant.

Background and Reasons for the Warrant Amendments

As of June 20, 2008, 116,496,000 First Warrants and 38,698,386 Series A Warrants were issued and outstanding, of which, two insiders of the Corporation held an aggregate of 392,500 First Warrants, representing approximately 0.3% of the outstanding First Warrants, and five insiders of the Corporation held an aggregate of 430,000 Series A Warrants, representing approximately 1.1% of the outstanding Series A Warrants. As of June 20, 2008, 223,801,664 Common shares were issued and outstanding, of which 278,647, representing approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Common Shares, were held by insiders of the Corporation.

Management of the Corporation has reviewed Silver Wheaton’s capital structure and considered the possibility of the early exercise of the Warrants in order to align the Corporation’s capital needs with the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. The Corporation believes that the trading pattern of the Warrants is currently substantially the same as the trading pattern of the Common Shares and that the trading price of the Warrants does not include a significant option value component in addition to the intrinsic or the “in-the-money” value of the

Warrants. Further, management believes that the market for the Warrants is relatively illiquid and that it is unlikely that a liquid trading market for the Warrants will develop prior to the expiry of the Warrants. The following table compares the average trading price and the intrinsic value of each series of Warrants for the five trading days ending on June 20, 2008.

Five Trading Day Premium

(June 16, 2008 to June 20, 2008)

Series of Warrants	Trading Price	Intrinsic Value	Percentage of Premium to Intrinsic Value
	(C$) (1)	(C$) (2)	(%)

First Warrants	2.01	1.99	0.8	%
Series A Warrants	1.77	1.69	4.6	%

(1) Five day volume weighted average trading price ending on June 20, 2008 of the respective Warrants on the TSX.

(2) Five day volume weighted average trading price ending on June 20, 2008 of the Common Shares on the TSX multiplied by the Exercise Basis less the exercise price per Warrant of the respective Warrants set forth in the table on the face page of this short form prospectus listing each series of Warrants.

On May 14, 2008, the board of directors of the Corporation approved the submission of the Warrant Amendments to Warrantholders and Shareholders for their approval.

The Corporation believes that the transaction contemplated herein would have the following benefits to the Corporation, the Warrantholders and the Shareholders:

(a) the early exercise of the Warrants would increase the Corporation’s financial strength and flexibility;

(b) the early exercise of the Warrants would align the Corporation’s current capital needs with the proceeds to be realized upon the exercise of the Warrants;

(c) in the event that all of the Warrants are exercised during the Early Exercise Period, the Corporation would receive gross proceeds of approximately C$136 million which will be available to fund future growth opportunities (see “Use of Proceeds”);

(d) the early exercise of the Warrants would enable the Corporation to access significant proceeds at an attractive cost of capital relative to an equity financing such as a public offering or a private placement;

(e) the estimated expenses associated with the Warrant Amendments of C$2 million are significantly less than the estimated expenses and underwriting fees which would be incurred in connection with an equity financing such as a public offering or a private placement;

(f) the issuance of the New Warrants will result in less dilution to the Shareholders than an equity financing such as a public offering or a private placement which would likely be priced at a discount to the trading price of the Common Shares;

(g) the early exercise of the Warrants would increase the Corporation’s public float, which management believes may increase the trading liquidity of the Common Shares;

(h) management believes the early exercise of the Warrants should provide the Warrantholders with the benefits of a more liquid trading market for the Common Shares and the New Warrants as compared to the trading market for the First Warrants and the Series A Warrants; and

(i) the Warrant Amendments would provide the Warrantholders with the opportunity to fully liquidate their investment for Common Shares in a transaction which provides Warrantholders

with a premium to the theoretical or Black-Scholes value of the Warrants, the intrinsic or “in-the-money” value of the Warrants and the trading price of the Warrants prior to the announcement of the Warrant Amendments.

Fairness Opinions

In connection with the proposed Warrant Amendments, the Corporation has engaged the Financial Advisors to act as financial advisors to the Corporation in connection with the issuance of the New Warrants to Warrantholders. GMP has provided an opinion (the “Warrantholder Fairness Opinion”) as to the fairness of the issuance of the New Warrants, from a financial point of view, to the Warrantholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation. Genuity has provided an opinion (the “Shareholder Fairness Opinion”) as to the fairness of the issuance of the New Warrants, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation.

GMP determined that the issuance of the New Warrants to Warrantholders would be fair, from a financial point of view, to the Warrantholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation, if the probable aggregate value of the Underlying Shares of each series of Warrants and the New Warrants to be issued to Warrantholders following the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Warrant Amendments would exceed the probable aggregate value available to the Warrantholders in respect of the Warrants if the Corporation were to maintain, in all material respects, the status quo, including its current debt and equity capital structure (the “Status Quo Alternative”). GMP did not take into account any tax consequences or the possibility of a tax liability in connection with the transactions proposed by the Warrant Amendments or the disposition of Warrants by the Warrantholders.

Genuity determined that the issuance of the New Warrants to Warrantholders would be fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation, if the probable aggregate value of the Common Shares to Shareholders as at the date of the Shareholder Fairness Opinion, after the issuance of the New Warrants to Warrantholders, would exceed the probable aggregate value available to the Shareholders on such date under the Status Quo Alternative. Genuity did not take into account any tax consequences or the possibility of a tax liability in connection with the transactions proposed by the Warrant Amendments or the disposition of Warrants by the Warrantholders.

The Warrantholder Fairness Opinion is dated as of June 23, 2008. Based upon and subject to the assumptions made and the matters considered in the Warrantholder Fairness Opinion, GMP is of the opinion that, as of June 23, 2008, the issuance of the New Warrants is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Warrantholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation.

The Shareholder Fairness Opinion is dated as of June 23, 2008. Based upon and subject to the assumptions made and the matters considered in the Shareholder Fairness Opinion, Genuity is of the opinion that, as of June 23, 2008, the issuance of the New Warrants is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation.

The Warrantholder Fairness Opinion and the Shareholder Fairness Opinion are based upon a variety of factors and assumptions and must be considered as a whole. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Corporation

The material factors considered by the board of directors of the Corporation which provided support for the conclusion that the issuance of the New Warrants to Warrantholders is fair to Warrantholders and Shareholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation, were:

(a) in the event that holders of all Warrants exercise their Warrants during the Early Exercise Period, the Corporation would issue New Warrants to Warrantholders which, if fully exercised, would represent approximately 1.4% of the outstanding Common Shares;

(b) the Warrant Amendments provide Warrantholders with the opportunity to fully liquidate their investment for Common Shares in a transaction which provides Warrantholders with a premium to the theoretical or Black-Scholes value of the Warrants, the intrinsic or “in-the-money” value of the Warrants and the trading price of the Warrants prior to the announcement of the Warrant Amendments;

(c) the early exercise of the Warrants should provide the Warrantholders with the benefits of a more liquid trading market for the Common Shares and the New Warrants as compared to the relatively illiquid trading market for the Warrants;

(d) the Warrantholder Fairness Opinion to the board of directors of the Corporation provides that the issuance of the New Warrants is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Warrantholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation, where fairness is defined only from the perspective that the proposal provides probable additional value versus the Status Quo Alternative for Warrantholders;

(e) the Shareholder Fairness Opinion to the board of directors of the Corporation provides that the issuance of the New Warrants is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation, where fairness is defined only from the perspective that the proposal provides probable additional value versus the Status Quo Alternative for Shareholders;

(f) if all of the Warrants are exercised during the Early Exercise Period, the proceeds from such early exercise would provide a cost effective alternative source of funds for the Corporation;

(g) in order to be effective, the Warrant Amendments for each series of Warrants must be approved by not less than 662/3% of the votes cast in respect of such Warrant Amendment by the Disinterested Warrantholders (as defined herein) of such series; and

(h) pursuant to the requirements of the TSX, the issuance of the New Warrants must be approved at a special meeting of Shareholders by a majority of the votes cast thereat by Disinterested Shareholders (as defined herein).

In light of the number and variety of factors considered by the board of directors of the Corporation in connection with their evaluation of the issuance of the New Warrants, the directors did not find it practicable to assign relative weights to the foregoing factors; accordingly, they did not do so.

In order to arrive at its recommendation, the board of directors of the Corporation obtained the advice of its legal counsel and the Financial Advisors, completed a detailed examination of the terms and conditions of the Warrant Amendments and completed a detailed examination of the Warrantholder Fairness Opinion and the Shareholder Fairness Opinion. The directors of the Corporation also considered that in order for U.S. Warrantholders to exercise their Warrants and receive Underlying Shares and New Warrants, U.S. Warrantholders will be required to qualify for an applicable exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act.

The board of directors of the Corporation have determined that the issuance of the New Warrants is in the best interests of the Corporation and is fair to Warrantholders and Shareholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation. The directors of the Corporation recommend that Disinterested Warrantholders vote in favour of the Warrant Amendments and that Disinterested Shareholders vote in favour of the issuance of the New Warrants.

Warrantholder Meeting

Pursuant to the requirements of the TSX and the respective Warrant Indentures, the Warrant Amendments require the approval of 662/3% of the votes cast by the Warrantholders of each series of Warrants, respectively, excluding insiders of the Corporation (the “Disinterested Warrantholders”) at an extraordinary meeting of Warrantholders (the “Warrantholder Meeting”). As of June 20, 2008, two insiders of the Corporation held an aggregate of 392,500 First Warrants, representing approximately 0.3% of the outstanding First Warrants, and five insiders of the Corporation held an aggregate of 430,000 Series A Warrants, representing approximately 1.1% of the

outstanding Series A Warrants. The Warrantholder Meeting, at which there will be conducted separate votes for each Warrant Amendment by the respective Warrantholders of each series of Warrants, has been scheduled to be held on August 7, 2008.

Shareholder Meeting

Pursuant to the requirements of the TSX, the issuance of the New Warrants to be issued upon the early exercise of the Warrants requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders, excluding insiders of the Corporation and Shareholders who are also Warrantholders (the “Disinterested Shareholders”), at a special meeting of Shareholders (the “Shareholder Meeting”). The Shareholder Meeting has been scheduled to be held on August 7, 2008, the same day as the Warrantholder Meeting.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There have not been any material changes in the share and loan capital of the Corporation since March 31, 2008, the date of the Corporation’s most recently filed financial statements. Assuming all of the Warrants are exercised during the Early Exercise Period, the Corporation will issue 31,038,878 Underlying Shares and 3,039,886 New Warrants, and there will no longer be any First Warrants or Series A Warrants outstanding. See “Plan of Distribution”.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES BEING DISTRIBUTED

New Warrants

The New Warrants will be authorized to be issued under the Supplemental Indentures amending the Warrant Indentures between the Corporation and the Warrant Agent. The terms of the New Warrants will be governed by the terms of a new warrant indenture (the “New Indenture”) to be entered into between the Corporation and the Warrant Agent. The Corporation has appointed the principal transfer offices of the Warrant Agent in Vancouver, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario as the location at which New Warrants may be surrendered for exercise or transfer. The following summary of certain provisions of the New Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the New Indenture.

Each New Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one New Warrant Share at a price of $20.00 at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the date which is five years following the expiry of the Early Exercise Period, after which time the New Warrants will expire and become null and void. The exercise price and the number of New Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise are both subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as more fully described below. Under the New Indenture, the Corporation will be entitled to purchase in the market, by private contract or otherwise, all or any of the New Warrants then outstanding, and any New Warrants so purchased will be cancelled.

The New Indenture will provide for adjustment in the number of New Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the New Warrants and/or the exercise price per New Warrant Share upon the occurrence of certain events, including:

(i) the issue of Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares to all or substantially all of the Shareholders as a stock dividend or other distribution (other than a “dividend paid in the ordinary course”, as defined in the New Indenture, or a distribution of Common Shares upon the exercise of the New Warrants or pursuant to the exercise of director, officer or employee stock options granted under the Corporation’s stock option plans);

(ii) the subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

(iii) the reduction, combination or consolidation of the then outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of shares;

(iv) the issuance to all or substantially all of the Shareholders of rights, options or warrants under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, at a price per share to the holder (or at an exchange or conversion price per share) of less than 95% of the “current market price”, as defined in the New Indenture, for the Common Shares on such record date; and

(v) the issuance or distribution to all or substantially all of Shareholders of shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares, rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, of evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or any property or other assets.

The New Indenture will also provide for adjustment in the class and/or number of securities issuable upon the exercise of the New Warrants and/or exercise price per security in the event of the following additional events: (1) reclassifications of the Common Shares; (2) consolidations, amalgamations, plans of arrangement or mergers of the Corporation with or into another corporation or other entity (other than consolidations, amalgamations, plans of arrangement or mergers which do not result in any reclassification of the then outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares); or (3) the transfer (other than to one of the Corporation’s subsidiaries) of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity.

No adjustment in the exercise price or the number of New Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the New Warrants will be required to be made unless the cumulative effect of such adjustment or adjustments would change the exercise price by at least one percent or the number of New Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise by at least one one-hundredth of a New Warrant Share.

The Corporation will also covenant in the New Indenture that, during the period in which the New Warrants are exercisable, it will give notice to holders of New Warrants of certain stated events, including events that would result in an adjustment to the exercise price for the New Warrants or the number of New Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants, at least 14 days prior to the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.

No fractional New Warrant Shares will be issuable upon the exercise of any New Warrants, and no cash or other consideration will be paid in lieu of fractional shares. Holders of New Warrants will not have any voting or pre-emptive rights or any other rights which a holder of Common Shares would have.

From time to time, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent, without the consent of the holders of New Warrants, may amend or supplement the New Indenture for certain purposes, including curing defects or inconsistencies or making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of New Warrants. Any amendment or supplement to the New Indenture that adversely affects the interests of the holders of the New Warrants may only be made by “extraordinary resolution”, which is defined in the New Indenture as a resolution either (1) passed at a meeting of the holders of New Warrants at which there are holders of New Warrants present in person or represented by proxy representing at least 10% of the aggregate number of all of the then outstanding New Warrants and passed by the affirmative vote of holders of New Warrants representing not less than 662/3% of the aggregate number of all of the then outstanding New Warrants represented at the meeting and voted on the poll upon such resolution or (2) adopted by an instrument in writing signed by the holders of New Warrants representing not less than 662/3% of the aggregate number of all of the then outstanding New Warrants.

Reference is made to the New Indenture for the full extent of the attributes of the New Warrants. A copy of the New Indenture will be available for review under Silver Wheaton’s profile at www.sedar.com upon commencement of the Early Exercise Period, subject to the respective Warrantholder approvals having been obtained.

Common Shares

The authorized share capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of preference shares (the “Preference Shares”), issuable in series. As of June 20, 2008, 223,801,664 Common Shares and no Preference Shares were issued and outstanding. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of any meetings of shareholders of the Corporation, to attend and to cast one vote per Common Share at all such meetings. Holders of Common Shares do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors and, accordingly, holders of a majority of the Common Shares entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all directors standing for election. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis such dividends, if any, as and when declared by the Corporation’s board of directors at its discretion from funds legally available therefor and upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis the net assets of the Corporation after payment of debts and other liabilities, in each case subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other series or class of shares ranking senior in priority to or on a pro rata basis with the holders of Common Shares with respect to dividends or liquidation. The Common Shares do not carry any pre-emptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights, nor do they contain any sinking or purchase fund provisions.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming that all of the outstanding Warrants are exercised during the Early Exercise Period, and that no adjustment based on the anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrant Indentures has taken place, the gross proceeds to the Corporation will be approximately C$136 million and the net proceeds to the Corporation (after deducting the expenses of the distribution, including expenses relating to the preparation and filing of this short form prospectus as well as financial advisory fees, estimated to be C$2 million) will be approximately C$134 million. In the event that less than all of the Warrants are exercised during the Early Exercise Period, the proceeds to the Corporation will be less than the proceeds that would have been received had all Warrants been exercised during the Early Exercise Period.

The net proceeds to the Corporation from the early exercise of the Warrants are expected to be used by the Corporation to repay, in part, the Revolving Loan and to fund future growth opportunities. In July 2007, the Revolving Loan was drawn in the amount of $246 million in order to partially fund the acquisition of 25% of the life-of-mine silver production from Goldcorp’s Peñasquito project in Mexico. As of June 20, 2008, the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Loan was $288.2 million. The undrawn Revolving Loan is available to fund future growth opportunities.

The Corporation’s actual use of the net proceeds may vary depending on the Corporation’s operating and capital needs from time to time.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This short form prospectus is being filed to qualify the distribution of up to 3,039,886 New Warrants issuable to Warrantholders upon the exercise of Warrants during the Early Exercise Period and the issuance of the New Warrant Shares and the Underlying Shares. The New Warrants qualified by this short form prospectus will only be issued to a Warrantholder if such Warrantholder exercises its Warrants during the Early Exercise Period. This short form prospectus also qualifies the distribution of the rights to acquire the New Warrants to the Warrantholders pursuant to the Warrant Amendments in each of the provinces of Canada and the distribution of the New Warrant Shares.

Fractional New Warrants

The Corporation will not be obliged to issue any fractional New Warrants or any cash or other consideration in lieu thereof upon the exercise of one or more Warrants. To the extent that the holder of one or more Warrants would otherwise have been entitled to receive upon the exercise of a Warrant a fraction of a New Warrant, that holder may exercise that right in respect of the fraction only in combination with another Warrant or Warrants that in the aggregate entitle the holder to acquire a whole number of New Warrants.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations as of the date hereof generally applicable under the Tax Act to a Warrantholder arising from and relating to the Supplemental Indentures who exercises or disposes of Warrants and acquires, holds and disposes of Common Shares. This summary is applicable to a Warrantholder who, for purposes of the Tax Act, deals at arm’s length and is not affiliated with the Corporation and holds the Warrants, and will hold any Underlying Shares, New Warrants and New Warrant Shares, as capital property. Generally, Warrants, Underlying Shares, New Warrants and New Warrant Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Warrantholder provided that the Warrantholder does not hold such securities in the course of carrying on a business of buying and selling securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade. In this summary, all references to “Common Shares” shall be a reference to common shares of the Corporation, including New Warrant Shares and Underlying Shares, as applicable.

This summary is not applicable to (i) a Warrantholder that is a “financial institution” (for purposes of the mark-to-market rules) or a “specified financial institution”, (ii) a Warrantholder an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment” (all as defined in the Tax Act), or (iii) a Warrantholder that has made a functional currency reporting election for purposes of the Tax Act. Such a Warrantholder should consult its own tax advisors. In addition, this summary does not address the deductibility of interest by a Warrantholder who has borrowed money to acquire Warrants or Common Shares.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act and regulations thereunder in force as at the date hereof, specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and regulations thereunder that have been publicly announced by, or on behalf of, the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”), the current provisions of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) (the “Convention”) and the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”). This summary assumes that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as currently proposed although no assurance can be given in that regard. Except as otherwise indicated, this summary does not take into account or anticipate any changes in the applicable law, whether made by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action nor does it take into account provincial or foreign tax laws or considerations, which might differ significantly from those discussed herein. This summary also assumes the Warrant Amendments will be effected pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Indentures.

This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal tax considerations and is not intended to be legal or tax advice to any particular Warrantholder. Warrantholders should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences based on their particular circumstances.

For the purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of Warrants, New Warrants and Common Shares (including dividends, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition) must be expressed in Canadian dollars. Amounts denominated in a foreign currency must be converted into Canadian dollars using the rate of exchange quoted by the Bank of Canada at noon on the day on which the amount first arose or such other rate of exchange as is acceptable to the CRA.

Warrantholders Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Warrantholder who at all relevant times for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a “Canadian Warrantholder”). Certain Canadian Warrantholders whose Common Shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may, in certain circumstances, treat their Common Shares, and all other “Canadian securities” as defined in the Tax Act, as capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. This election does not apply to Warrants or New Warrants.

Amendment of Warrant Indentures

Although the matter is not free from doubt, the amendments contained in the Supplemental Indentures should not constitute substantial changes to the fundamental terms of the Warrants and

accordingly should not result, in and of themselves, in a disposition of the Warrants by the Canadian Warrantholders for purposes of the Tax Act.

In the event that the amendments contained in the Supplemental Indentures are held to be so fundamental that their adoption results in a disposition of the Warrants and an acquisition of different warrants, then the Canadian Warrantholder would realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) for the year equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Warrants, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of the Warrants to the Canadian Warrantholder. In this case, the proceeds of disposition for the Warrants and the cost of any different warrants would be equal to the fair market value of the different warrants received in exchange at the time the Supplemental Indentures become effective. The taxation of capital gains and capital losses is discussed below under the heading “Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

The remainder of this summary assumes that the amendments contained in the Supplemental Indentures, in and of themselves, will not result in a disposition of the Warrants for purposes of the Tax Act. If this assumption is not correct then the tax consequences to Canadian Warrantholders may be materially different. Canadian Warrantholders should consult their own tax advisers.

Exercise of Warrants During the Early Exercise Period

No gain or loss will be realized by a Canadian Warrantholder upon the exercise of a Warrant during the Early Exercise Period. When a Warrant is exercised during the Early Exercise Period and Common Shares are acquired, the cost to the Canadian Warrantholder of the Common Shares thus acquired will be the aggregate of the adjusted cost base, for that holder, of the Warrant and the price paid for the Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant (also see discussion below under the heading “Receipt of New Warrants upon the Early Exercise of Warrants” for possible adjustments to the adjusted cost base of the Common Shares). The cost to a Canadian Warrantholder of a Common Share acquired upon the exercise of a Warrant must be averaged with the adjusted cost base (determined immediately before the exercise of the Warrant) of all other Common Shares held by the Canadian Warrantholder as capital property at the time of the exercise of the Warrant.

Receipt of New Warrants upon the Early Exercise of Warrants

Although the matter is not free from doubt, the receipt of the New Warrants by a Canadian Warrantholder who exercises Warrants during the Early Exercise Period should not constitute the receipt of an inducement payment within the meaning of paragraph 12(1)(x) of the Tax Act by the Canadian Warrantholder or otherwise be included in the income of a Canadian Warrantholder. As a result, the cost of any New Warrants to a Canadian Warrantholder should be nil. Subject to the comments below, if the receipt of the New Warrants were considered to be such an inducement payment, then Canadian Warrantholders generally will be required to include in income for the year an amount equal to the fair market value of the New Warrants received. Generally, the amount of this income inclusion would be added to the adjusted cost base of the New Warrants held by the Canadian Warrantholder. A Canadian Warrantholder may be entitled to make an election under subsection 53(2.1) of the Tax Act to reduce the adjusted cost base of their Common Shares rather than have an income inclusion under paragraph 12(1)(x). Canadian Warrantholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of the receipt of the New Warrants upon the early exercise of Warrants and the possibility of making this tax election.

Exercise of Warrants and New Warrants after the Early Exercise Period

No gain or loss will be realized by a Canadian Warrantholder upon the exercise of a Warrant or a New Warrant after the Early Exercise Period. When a Warrant or New Warrant is exercised after the Early Exercise Period, the Canadian Warrantholder’s cost of the Common Share acquired thereby will be the aggregate of the Canadian Warrantholder’s adjusted cost base of such Warrant or New Warrant, respectively, and the exercise price paid for the Common Share upon exercise of the Warrant or New Warrant, as the case may be. The Canadian Warrantholder’s adjusted cost base of the Common Share so acquired will be determined by averaging such cost with the adjusted cost base to the Canadian Warrantholder of all Common Shares held by the Canadian Warrantholder as capital property immediately prior to such acquisition.

Expiry of Warrants and New Warrants

The expiry of a Warrant or a New Warrant will generally result in a capital loss to the Canadian Warrantholder equal to the adjusted cost base of the Warrant or the New Warrant, respectively, to the Canadian Warrantholder immediately before its expiry.

Subject to the discussion above under the heading “Receipt of New Warrants upon the Early Exercise of Warrants”, the cost of any New Warrants to a Canadian Warrantholder should be nil. Consequently, no loss should be realized by a Canadian Warrantholder upon the expiry of a New Warrant.

Disposition of Warrants, New Warrants and Common Shares

In general, a disposition, or a deemed disposition, of a Warrant or New Warrant (other than on the exercise or expiry thereof) or of a Common Share will give rise to a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Warrant, New Warrant or Common Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the holder of the Warrant, New Warrant or Common Share, respectively. The taxation of capital gains and capital losses is discussed below under the heading “Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, one-half of a capital gain must be included in income as a taxable capital gain for the year of the disposition. One-half of a capital loss will be an allowable capital loss and normally may be deducted by the Canadian Warrantholder in computing income to the extent of any taxable capital gains for the year. Any allowable capital loss not deductible in the year may be deducted against taxable capital gains in computing taxable income for any of the three preceding years or any subsequent year (in accordance with the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act). Capital gains realized by a Canadian Warrantholder that is an individual, other than certain specified trusts, will be relevant in computing possible liability under the alternative minimum tax.

In general, in the case of a Canadian Warrantholder that is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss otherwise determined arising from a disposition or deemed disposition of Common Shares may be reduced by the amount of dividends previously received thereon to the extent and under circumstances specified in the Tax Act. Analogous rules apply where a corporation is, directly or through a trust or partnership, a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust which owns Common Shares.

A Canadian Warrantholder that is a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax of 62/3% in respect of its “aggregate investment income” for the year, which is defined in the Tax Act to include amounts in respect of taxable capital gains (but not dividends or deemed dividends deductible in computing taxable income). This refundable tax generally will be refunded to a corporate holder at the rate of C$1 for every C$3 of taxable dividends paid while it is a private corporation.

Dividends

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the Common Shares by an individual (including a trust) will be included in computing the individual’s income for tax purposes and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations. An enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit will be available where the Corporation provides notice designating the dividend as an “eligible dividend” paid by the Corporation. A Canadian Warrantholder that is a corporation will include dividends received or deemed to be received on the Common Shares in computing its income for tax purposes and generally will be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income, with the result that no tax may be payable by it in respect of such dividends. Certain corporations, including private corporations or subject corporations (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act), may be liable to pay a refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act at the rate of 331/3% of the dividends received or deemed to be received on the Common Shares to the extent that such dividends are deductible in computing taxable income. This refundable tax generally will be refunded to a corporate holder at the rate of C$1 for every C$3 of taxable dividends paid while it is a private corporation.

Warrantholders Resident in the United States

The following summary is generally applicable to Warrantholders who (i) for the purposes of the Tax Act have not been and will not be deemed to be resident in Canada at any time while they hold Warrants, New Warrants or Common Shares; (ii) do not use or hold the Warrants, New Warrants and Common Shares in carrying on a business in Canada; and (iii) are residents of the United States for purposes of the Convention (“U.S. Warrantholders”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a U.S. Warrantholder that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere.

Amendment of Warrant Indentures

The Canadian federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Warrantholder resulting from the amendments to the Warrant Indentures are generally the same as those described above that apply to a Canadian Warrantholder.

Exercise of Warrants during the Early Exercise Period

The Canadian federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Warrantholder of the early exercise of the Warrants are generally the same as those described above that apply to a Canadian Warrantholder.

Receipt of New Warrants upon the Early Exercise of Warrants

A U.S. Warrantholder should not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of the receipt of the New Warrants as consideration for the exercise of Warrants during the Early Exercise Period.

Disposition of Warrants, New Warrants and Common Shares

A U.S. Warrantholder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain on the disposition of Warrants, New Warrants or Common Shares provided that such securities do not constitute, and are not deemed to constitute, “taxable Canadian property” of the U.S. Warrantholder for purposes of the Tax Act. Generally, Warrants, New Warrants and Common Shares will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a U.S. Warrantholder provided that (i) the Common Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange (which includes the TSX and the NYSE) for the purposes of the Tax Act at the time of disposition; and (ii) at no time during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition of the Warrants, New Warrants or Common Shares were 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation owned by the U.S. Warrantholder, by persons with whom the U.S. Warrantholder did not deal at arm’s length, or by the U.S. Warrantholder together with such persons.

A U.S. Warrantholder’s capital gain (or capital loss) in respect of Warrants, New Warrants and Common Shares that constitute or are deemed to constitute taxable Canadian property (and are not “treaty-protected property” as defined for purposes of the Tax Act) will generally be computed in the manner described above under the headings “Warrantholders Resident in Canada — Disposition of Warrants, New Warrants and Common Shares”.

Even if the Warrants, New Warrants or Common Shares are taxable Canadian property to a U.S. Warrantholder, under the terms of the Convention the U.S. Warrantholder will still not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain on the disposition of such securities provided in the case of the Common Shares that the value of the Common Shares is not derived principally from real property situated in Canada at the time of disposition. U.S. Warrantholders whose Warrants, New Warrants or Common Shares are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

Dividends

Dividends paid or credited or deemed under the Tax Act to be paid or credited to a U.S. Warrantholder on the Common Shares generally will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 15%. This rate is reduced to 5% in the case of a U.S. Warrantholder that is a company that owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the Corporation.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to (a) the adoption of the Warrant Amendments and (b) the exercise, disposition, and lapse of the New Warrants and (c) the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares received on the exercise of the New Warrants. This summary is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), U.S. judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, all as in effect as of the date hereof. All of the preceding authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. No ruling has been obtained, and no ruling will be requested, from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and as a result, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions that are reached and describe herein.

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Warrants, New Warrants, or Common Shares, as the case may be, that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created in, or organized under the law of, the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (x) the administration of which is subject to the primary jurisdiction of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) that has an election in effect under applicable income tax regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership is a beneficial owner of the Warrants, New Warrants or Common Shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership that acquires New Warrants or Common Shares, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of (a) the adoption of the Warrant Amendments and (b) the exercise, disposition, and lapse of the New Warrants and (c) the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares received on the exercise of the New Warrants.

This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation which may be important to particular U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules, such as financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, insurance companies, broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, holders who own (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote, U.S. Holders that hold Warrants, New Warrants or Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax or investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, all of which may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any non-U.S., state or local tax considerations. This summary assumes that investors will hold their New Warrants and Common Shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the Internal Revenue Code. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax considerations relevant to (a) the adoption of the Warrant Amendments, (b) the exercise, disposition, and lapse of the New Warrants, and (c) the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares received on the exercise of the New Warrants.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Adoption of the Warrant Amendments

Adoption of the Warrant Amendments

The U.S. federal income tax character of the adoption of the Warrant Amendments is uncertain. Under general principles of U.S. federal income tax law, if the legal rights or obligations represented by the Warrants after the adoption of the Warrant Amendments differ materially in either kind or extent from the legal rights or obligations represented by the Warrants prior to the adoption of the Warrant Amendments, a U.S. Holder generally

would be deemed to exchange “old” Warrants for “new” Warrants on the date of adoption of the Warrant Amendments. Any such deemed exchange of “old” Warrants for “new” Warrants will qualify as a “recapitalization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code (a “Recapitalization”), and a U.S. Holder generally will recognize no gain or loss on such deemed exchange. If there is no deemed exchange, there will be no U.S. federal income tax consequences.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Exercise, Disposition, and Lapse of New Warrants

Exercise of Warrants

Subject to the discussions below regarding the receipt of a New Warrant upon the exercise of a Warrant during the Early Exercise Period, a U.S. Holder should not recognize gain or loss on the exercise of a Warrant and related receipt of a Common Share. A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the Common Share received on the exercise of a Warrant should be equal to the sum of (a) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Warrant plus (b) the exercise price paid by such U.S. Holder on the exercise of such Warrant. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Share received on the exercise of a Warrant should begin on the day after the date that such Warrant is exercised by such U.S. Holder.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of a New Warrant upon the exercise of a Warrant during the Early Exercise Period are uncertain. The IRS may take the position that the New Warrant represents a fee for exercising the Warrant during the Early Exercise Period, in which case a U.S. Holder generally would recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the New Warrant on the date of receipt. Alternatively, the IRS may take the position that the receipt of a New Warrant should be treated as a distribution of a right to acquire stock under Section 305 of the Code, which, depending on the circumstances (for example, if cash is distributed to holders of the Common Shares within 36 months of the date the New Warrant is received), could result in a taxable distribution to a U.S. Holder, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the New Warrant on the date of distribution. (See more detailed discussion of the rules applicable to distributions made by Silver Wheaton at “Distributions on Common Shares” below). As an additional alternative, a U.S. Holder may be treated as simultaneously purchasing a Common Share and a New Warrant upon the exercise of a Warrant during the Early Exercise Period, in which case the U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize income or gain upon the receipt of the New Warrant. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of a New Warrant upon the exercise of a Warrant during the Early Exercise Period.

Disposition of New Warrants

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of a New Warrant in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Warrant sold or otherwise disposed of. Subject to the discussion under “Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Considerations” below, any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be short-term or long-term depending on whether the New Warrants are held for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of an individual taxpayer for taxable dispositions prior to January 1, 2011 will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. For taxable dispositions after January 1, 2011, such long-term capital gains will be taxed at a maximum rate of 20%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

Lapse of New Warrants

Upon the lapse or expiration of a New Warrant, a U.S. Holder should recognize a loss in an amount equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Warrant. Any such loss generally will be a capital loss, and will be short-term or long-term depending on whether the New Warrants are held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

Adjustment to Conversion Ratio

Under the Internal Revenue Code, an adjustment to the number of Common Shares that will be issued on exercise of the New Warrants, or an adjustment to the exercise price of the New Warrants, may, depending on the

circumstances of such adjustment (for example, if such adjustment is to compensate for a distribution of cash or other property to Shareholders), be treated as a constructive distribution to a U.S. Holder of the New Warrants if, and to the extent that, such adjustment has the effect of increasing such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in the “earnings and profits” or assets of Silver Wheaton. See more detailed discussion of the rules applicable to distributions made by Silver Wheaton at “Distributions on Common Shares” below.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition, Ownership and Disposition of Common Shares

Distributions on Common Shares

Subject to the discussion under “Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Considerations” below, the gross amount of any distribution paid by Silver Wheaton will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as dividend income to the extent paid out of Silver Wheaton’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such amount will be includable in gross income by a U.S. Holder as ordinary income on the date such U.S. Holder actually or constructively receive the distribution. Dividends paid by Silver Wheaton will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations.

Subject to applicable exceptions with respect to short-term and hedged positions, certain dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders prior to January 1, 2011 from a “qualified foreign corporation” may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation (“qualified dividends”). A qualified foreign corporation includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that the U.S. Treasury Department determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and that includes an exchange of information provision. The U.S. Treasury has determined that the income tax treaty between the United States and Canada meets these requirements, and Silver Wheaton believes it is eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and Canada. A foreign corporation is also treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid by that corporation on ordinary shares that are readily tradeable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that Silver Wheaton’s Common Shares will be readily tradeable on an established securities market in the United States; however, there can be no assurance that the Common Shares will be considered readily tradeable on an established securities market in future years. Dividends received by U.S. investors from a foreign corporation that was a PFIC in either the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year will not constitute qualified dividends. As discussed below in “Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Considerations,” Silver Wheaton does not expect to be treated as a PFIC, and accordingly, dividends paid on the Common Shares are expected to constitute qualified dividends.

Dividends received by a U.S. Holder with respect to Common Shares will constitute foreign source income, which may be relevant in calculating the holder’s foreign tax credit limitation. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends paid by Silver Wheaton with respect to the Common Shares will, depending on a U.S. Holder’s circumstances, be “passive category” or “general category” income.

Subject to certain limitations, any Canadian tax withheld with respect to distributions made on the Common Shares may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability. Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may, subject to applicable limitations, elect to deduct the otherwise creditable Canadian withholding taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and involve the application of rules that depend on each taxpayer’s particular circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

To the extent that a distribution exceeds the amount of Silver Wheaton’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the Common Shares held by such U.S. Holder (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing the amount of loss, to be recognized by such U.S. Holder upon a subsequent disposition of the Common Shares), with any amount that exceeds the adjusted basis being taxed as a capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange (as discussed below). However, Silver Wheaton does not intend to maintain calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should therefore assume that any distribution by Silver Wheaton with respect to the Common Shares will

constitute ordinary dividend income.

The gross amount of distributions paid in any foreign currency will be included by each U.S. Holder in income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day the distributions are paid, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of the payment, the U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize any foreign currency gain or loss with respect to the receipt of the foreign currency distributions. If instead the foreign currency is converted at a later date, any currency gains or losses resulting from the conversion of the foreign currency will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Considerations,” a U.S. Holder generally will recognize U.S. source capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the Common Shares for more than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. Long-term capital gains of an individual taxpayer for taxable dispositions prior to January 1, 2011 will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. For taxable dispositions after January 1, 2011, such long-term capital gains will be taxed at a maximum rate of 20%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

If a U.S. Holder receives any foreign currency on the sale of Common Shares, such U.S. Holder may recognize ordinary income or loss as a result of currency fluctuations between the date of the sale of Common Shares and the date the sale proceeds are converted into U.S. dollars.

Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Considerations

Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to U.S. persons owning stock of a PFIC. A foreign corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) 50% or more of the average value (or, if elected, the adjusted tax basis) of its assets are considered “passive assets” (generally, assets that generate passive income). Special rules apply where a corporation owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation (the “lower-tier corporation”). For purposes of determining whether Silver Wheaton is a PFIC, it will be treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of any lower-tier corporation and received directly its proportionate share of the income of any lower-tier corporation.

Silver Wheaton does not currently expect to be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and does not expect to become a PFIC in the future, although there can be no assurances in this regard. Accordingly, it is possible that Silver Wheaton may become a PFIC in the current taxable year or in future years.

In any given taxable year for which Silver Wheaton is classified as a PFIC, during which a U.S. Holder holds Common Shares, a U.S. Holder would be subject to increased tax liability (possibly including an interest charge) upon the sale or other disposition of the Common Shares or upon the receipt of certain distributions treated as “excess distributions,” unless such U.S. Holder elects to be taxed currently, as discussed in “Mark-to-Market and QEF Elections” below. An excess distribution generally would be any distribution to a U.S. Holder with respect to Common Shares during a single taxable year that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder with respect to the Common Shares during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, during such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares.

In addition, certain special, generally adverse rules would apply to the Common Shares if Silver Wheaton is a PFIC. For example, a U.S. holder that uses PFIC shares as security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such shares.

Notwithstanding any election made with respect to Common Shares, dividends received with respect to the Common Shares will not constitute “qualified dividend income” if Silver Wheaton is a PFIC in either the year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year. Dividends that do not constitute qualified dividend income are not eligible for taxation at the reduced tax rate discussed above in “Distributions on Common Shares.” Instead, such

dividends would be subject to tax at ordinary income rates. If a U.S. Holder owns Common Shares during any year in which Silver Wheaton is a PFIC, such U.S. Holder must also file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621.

Mark-to-Market and QEF Elections

If the Common Shares are “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules, a U.S. Holder may make an election to include gain or loss on the Common Shares as ordinary income or loss under a mark-to-market method of accounting. The Common Shares would be marketable securities if they were regularly traded on a qualifying exchange that is either (i) a national securities exchange which is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the national market system established pursuant to the Exchange Act, or (ii) any exchange or other market that the Secretary determines are adequate. The NYSE meets this test, and Silver Wheaton believes that the TSX meets this test. Accordingly, so long as the Common Shares are regularly traded on the TSX or NYSE a U.S. Holder should be able to make a mark-to-market election with respect to the Common Shares if Silver Wheaton is classified as a PFIC.

If a U.S. Holder chooses to make a mark-to-market election, such U.S. Holder must include in ordinary income for each taxable year for which the election is in effect, and during which Silver Wheaton is a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Common Shares as of the close of the taxable year over its adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder may claim an ordinary loss deduction for the excess, if any, of its adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares over the fair market value of the Common Shares at the close of the taxable year, but only to the extent of any prior net mark-to-market gains. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Common Shares will be increased by the income recognized under the mark-to-market election and decreased by deductions allowed under the election. Gain upon an actual sale or other disposition of the Common Shares will be treated as ordinary income, and any losses incurred on a sale or other disposition of the Common Shares will be treated as an ordinary loss to the extent of any prior net mark-to-market gains.

A mark-to-market election applies to the taxable year in which the election is made and to each subsequent year, unless the Common Shares cease to be marketable (as described above) or the U.S. Internal Revenue Service consents to revocation of the election. If a U.S. Holder does not make a mark-to-market election for the first year in which such Holder owns Common Shares and Silver Wheaton is a PFIC, the interest charge imposed under the Internal Revenue Code as described above will apply to any mark-to-market gain recognized in the later year that the election is first made over the fair market value of the Common Shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences of making a mark-to-market election.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, a holder of shares of a PFIC may also make a qualifying electing fund (“QEF”) election with respect to shares of the PFIC. In such a case, the shareholder is generally subject to tax on its pro rata share of the income and gains of the PFIC on a current basis, without regard to whether or not actual distributions are made by the PFIC, rather than being subject to the treatment described above in “Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Considerations.” However, an election to treat Silver Wheaton as a QEF will not be available if Silver Wheaton does not provide the information necessary to make such an election. It is not expected that a U.S. Holder will be able to make a QEF election because Silver Wheaton does not intend to provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary to allow the QEF election.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding Common Shares if Silver Wheaton is considered a PFIC in any taxable year.

U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax

Under U.S. federal income tax law and regulations, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are severe. U.S. Holders of the Common Shares should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns and mark-to-market elections.

Dividends and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Common Shares that are paid in the United States or by a U.S.-related financial intermediary will be subject to U.S. information reporting rules, unless you are a

(3) A corporation shall not indemnify an individual under subsection (1) unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request.

Same

(4) In addition to the conditions set out in subsection (3), if the matter is a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the corporation shall not indemnify an individual under subsection (1) unless the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.

Protection of Directors, Officers and Others

6.03 Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise provided in the Act, no director or officer for the time being of the Corporation shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or employee or for joining in any receipt or act for conformity or for any loss, damage or expense happening to the Corporation through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by the Corporation or for or on behalf of the Corporation or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of or belonging to the Corporation shall be placed out or invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any persons, firm or corporation including any person, firm or corporation with whom or which any moneys, securities or effects shall be lodged or deposited for any loss, conversion, misapplication or misappropriation of or any damage resulting from any dealings with any moneys, securities or other assets belonging to the Corporation or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever which may happen in the execution of the duties of his respective office or trust or in relation thereto unless the same shall happen by or through his failure to exercise the powers and to discharge the duties of his office honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Corporation and in connection therewith to exercise the degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. The directors for the time being of the Corporation shall not be under any duty or responsibility in respect of any contract, act or transaction whether or not made, done or entered into in the name or on behalf of the Corporation, except such as shall have been submitted to and authorized or approved by the board. If any director or officer of the Corporation shall be employed by or shall perform services for the Corporation otherwise than as a director or officer or shall be a member of a firm or a shareholder, director or officer of a company which is employed by or performs services for the Corporation, the fact of his being a director or officer of the Corporation shall not disentitle such director or officer or such firm or company, as the case may be, from receiving proper remuneration for such services.

6.04 Indemnity. Subject to the limitations contained in the Act, the Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or another individual who acts or acted at the Corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Corporation or other entity, if

(i)

the material change report of the Corporation filed on February 19, 2008 relating to the completion of the Secondary Offering; and

(j)

(a) the early exercise of the Warrants would increase the Corporation’s financial strength and flexibility;

(b) the early exercise of the Warrants would align the Corporation’s current capital needs with the proceeds to be realized upon the exercise of the Warrants;

(c) in the event that all of the Warrants are exercised during the Early Exercise Period, the Corporation would receive gross proceeds of approximately C$136 million which will be available to fund future growth opportunities (see “Use of Proceeds”);

(d) the early exercise of the Warrants would enable the Corporation to access significant proceeds at an attractive cost of capital relative to an equity financing such as a public offering or a private placement;

(e) the estimated expenses associated with the Warrant Amendments of C$2 million are significantly less than the estimated expenses and underwriting fees which would be incurred in connection with an equity financing such as a public offering or a private placement;

(f) the issuance of the New Warrants will result in less dilution to the Shareholders than an equity financing such as a public offering or a private placement which would likely be priced at a discount to the trading price of the Common Shares;

(g) the early exercise of the Warrants would increase the Corporation’s public float, which management believes may increase the trading liquidity of the Common Shares;

(h) management believes the early exercise of the Warrants should provide the Warrantholders with the benefits of a more liquid trading market for the Common Shares and the New Warrants as compared to the trading market for the First Warrants and the Series A Warrants; and

(i) the Warrant Amendments would provide the Warrantholders with the opportunity to fully liquidate their investment for Common Shares in a transaction which provides Warrantholders

with a premium to the theoretical or Black-Scholes value of the Warrants, the intrinsic or “in-the-money” value of the Warrants and the trading price of the Warrants prior to the announcement of the Warrant Amendments.

(a) in the event that holders of all Warrants exercise their Warrants during the Early Exercise Period, the Corporation would issue New Warrants to Warrantholders which, if fully exercised, would represent approximately 1.4% of the outstanding Common Shares;

(c) the early exercise of the Warrants should provide the Warrantholders with the benefits of a more liquid trading market for the Common Shares and the New Warrants as compared to the relatively illiquid trading market for the Warrants;

(f) if all of the Warrants are exercised during the Early Exercise Period, the proceeds from such early exercise would provide a cost effective alternative source of funds for the Corporation;

(g) in order to be effective, the Warrant Amendments for each series of Warrants must be approved by not less than 662/3% of the votes cast in respect of such Warrant Amendment by the Disinterested Warrantholders (as defined herein) of such series; and

(h) pursuant to the requirements of the TSX, the issuance of the New Warrants must be approved at a special meeting of Shareholders by a majority of the votes cast thereat by Disinterested Shareholders (as defined herein).
