CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING-STATEMENTS

This material change report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the completion of the Offering. 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 those factors discussed in the section entitled “Description of the Business –Risk Factors” in Silver Wheaton’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2006 incorporated by reference into Silver Wheaton’s Form 40-F on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Silver Wheaton as of the date hereof, such statements are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The estimates and assumptions of Silver Wheaton contained in this material change report, which may prove to be incorrect, include but are not limited to (i) receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals, and (ii) completion of the Offering by the various parties to the Underwriting Agreement dated January 31, 2008, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. 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 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. Silver Wheaton does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are included herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
