If you do not have a Taxpayer Identification Number, you should apply for one immediately. To apply for a Social Security number, obtain Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or on-line at www.ssa.gov/online/ss5.html. You may also obtain this form by calling 1-800-772-1213.

  Payments made by certain foreign organizations.

Exempt payees described above should file a Form W-9 to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. FILE THIS FORM WITH THE PAYER, FURNISH YOUR TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, WRITE “EXEMPT” ON THE FACE OF THE FORM, SIGN AND DATE THE FORM AND RETURN IT TO THE PAYER.

Certain payments other than interest, dividends, and patronage dividends that are not subject to information reporting are also not subject to backup withholding. For details, see the regulations under Sections 6041, 6041A(2), 6045 and 6050A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Privacy Act Notice.  — Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividends, interest, or other payments to give taxpayer identification numbers to payers who must report the payments to the IRS. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes. Payers must be given the numbers whether or not recipients are required to file tax returns. Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividends and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.

Penalties

(1) Penalty for Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number. — If you fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to wilful neglect.

(2) Civil Penalty for False Information with Respect to Withholding. — If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no imposition of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.

(3) Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information. — Wilfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

INSTRUCTIONS

 
1. Use of Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal

  (a)  This Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof) together with accompanying certificates representing the Deposited Shares and all other documents required by the terms of the Offer to Purchase and this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal must be received by the Depositary at any of the offices specified on the back cover page no later than 9:00 p.m. (Toronto time), on February 14, 2005, unless the Offer in respect of the Goldcorp Shares is extended or unless the procedure for guaranteed delivery set out in Instruction 2 below is used.
 
  (b)  The method used to deliver this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and any accompanying certificates representing Goldcorp Shares is at the option and risk of the holder, and delivery will be deemed effective only when such documents are actually received by the Depositary. Glamis recommends that the necessary documentation be hand delivered to the Depositary at any of its offices specified below, and a receipt obtained; otherwise the use of registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. Holders of Goldcorp Shares whose Goldcorp Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee should contact that nominee for assistance in depositing those Goldcorp Shares.

2.                Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery

      If a holder of Goldcorp Shares wishes to deposit such Goldcorp Shares pursuant to the Offer and certificates for such Goldcorp Shares are not immediately available or the holder cannot deliver the certificates and Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal to the Depositary no later than the Expiry Time, those Goldcorp Shares may nevertheless be deposited under the Offer provided that all of the following conditions are met:

  (a)  such deposit is made only at the principal office of the Depositary in Toronto, Ontario by or through an Eligible Institution;
 
  (b)  a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (or a manually signed facsimile) is received by the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario at or before the Expiry Time; and
 
  (c)  the certificate or certificates representing the deposited Goldcorp Shares, in proper form for transfer, together with a properly completed and duly signed Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile copy) and other documents required by this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, are received at the Toronto office of the Depositary by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the third trading day on the Toronto Stock Exchange after the Expiry Date.

      The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by hand or transmitted by facsimile or mail to the Depositary at the applicable address set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Delivery of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and accompanying Share certificates to any office other than such office of the Depositary does not constitute delivery for purposes of satisfying a guaranteed delivery.

      An “Eligible Institution” means a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank, a major trust company in Canada, a member of the Securities Transfer Agent Medallion Program (STAMP), a member of the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP), or a member of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program (MSP).

8. Stock Transfer Taxes

      Except as otherwise provided in this Instruction 8, Glamis will pay all stock transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of any Goldcorp Shares to it or its order pursuant to the Offer. If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or if certificates for Goldcorp Shares not deposited or not accepted for payment are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the registered holder(s), or if deposited certificates for Goldcorp Shares are registered in the name of any person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s) or such other person) payable on account of the transfer to such other person will be deducted from the purchase price of such Goldcorp Shares purchased unless evidence satisfactory to Glamis, in its sole discretion, of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted.

9.     Backup Withholding

      Under U.S. federal income tax law, a shareholder whose Deposited Shares are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding on the value of the Glamis Shares received by that shareholder at a rate of 28%.

      US Residents. To prevent backup withholding, a shareholder that is a resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes is required to notify the Depositary of the shareholder’s current taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) by completing the enclosed Substitute Form W-9, certifying that the TIN provided on that form is correct (or that such shareholder is awaiting receipt of a TIN), and that (i) the shareholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the shareholder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends or (ii) after being so notified, the Internal Revenue Service has notified the shareholder that the shareholder is no longer subject to backup withholding. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, such shareholder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and payments that are made to such shareholder pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding (see below).

      Each shareholder is required to give the Depositary the TIN (e.g., Social Security number or employer identification number) of the record holder of the Goldcorp Shares. If the Goldcorp Shares are registered in more than one name or are not registered in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for additional guidance on which number to report. A shareholder who does not have a TIN may check the box in Part 3 of the Substitute Form W-9 if such shareholder has applied for a number or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future. If the box in Part 3 is checked, the shareholder must also complete the “Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number” below in order to avoid backup withholding. If the box is checked, payments made will be subject to backup withholding unless the shareholder has furnished the Depositary with his or her TIN by the time payment is made. A shareholder who checks the box in Part 3 in lieu of furnishing a TIN should furnish the Depositary with the shareholder’s TIN as soon as it is received.

      Certain shareholders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to these backup withholding requirements. To avoid possible erroneous backup withholding, a shareholder who is a resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes and is exempt from backup withholding should complete the Substitute Form W-9 by providing his or her correct TIN, signing and dating the form, and writing “exempt” on the face of the form.

      All shareholders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are exempt from these backup withholding and reporting requirements and to determine which form should be used to avoid backup withholding.

      If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold 28% of any payments to be made to the shareholder. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by filing a tax return with the Internal Revenue Service. The Depositary cannot refund amounts withheld by reason of backup withholding.
