SILVER WHEATON ACQUIRES SILVER PRODUCTION FROM EUROPEAN GOLDFIELDS

Vancouver, British Columbia: April 23, 2007 – Silver Wheaton Corp. (“Silver Wheaton”) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to purchase all of the silver produced by Hellas Gold S.A. (“Hellas”), a 65%-owned subsidiary of European Goldfields Limited (“European Goldfields”) (TSX: EGU; AIM: EGU), at its lead-zinc-silver Stratoni mine in northern Greece.  

Silver Wheaton paid Hellas an upfront payment of US$57.5 million in cash in order to acquire the silver produced by the Stratoni mine, over its entire mine-life, for the lesser of US$3.90 (subject to an inflationary adjustment beginning after three years) and the prevailing market price per ounce of silver.  Payment for the transaction will be from cash on hand and Silver Wheaton is not required to pay any further capital expenditures for the life of the mine.

The Stratoni mine is expected to produce 1 million ounces of silver in 2007, growing to 2 million ounces by 2010, as a by-product of its lead-zinc operations.  The mine has been operating since December 2005 and is currently processing ore at a rate of 900 tonnes per day with plans to expand production to 1,100 tonnes per day by the end of 2008.  It has well-defined reserves and strong exploration upside, as the orebody is open in all directions. Exploration is ongoing at the minesite with high priority targets being investigated over the next year.  The Stratoni mine has a historical record of converting 80% of resources into reserves.

Silver Wheaton has also acquired a right of first refusal on any future sales of silver streams from all other mines owned or operated by European Goldfields or Hellas, including the following:

·

The Olympias project in northern Greece, which currently contains 54 million ounces of silver in proven and probable reserves, and another 6 million ounces in measured and indicated resources, and

·

the Certej project in Romania, which currently contains 10 million ounces of probable silver reserves.

“We are very pleased to have entered into this transaction, which provides immediate silver sales, plus long-term growth potential through both strong exploration upside and our right of first refusal”, said Peter Barnes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Silver Wheaton.  “This deal is immediately accretive on all key metrics, with no equity dilution required.”

Silver Wheaton is the only public mining company with 100% of its operating revenue from silver production.  The company expects to have annual silver sales of approximately 15 million ounces in 2007, increasing to 23 million ounces by 2009 and 28 million ounces by 2012.  Silver Wheaton is unhedged and well positioned for further growth.

Mr. Randy Smallwood, P.Eng., Executive Vice President of Corporate Development of Silver Wheaton, who is a “qualified person” as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.  Production rates, reserves and resources are as reported by European Goldfields in press releases dated January 8, 2007 and March 22, 2007 and an update to the prefeasibility study dated February 16, 2007.
