GLAMIS GOLD LTD.
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
FOR REGISTERED HOLDERS OF GLAMIS GOLD LTD. COMMON SHARES
For Use in Connection of the Arrangement Involving Glamis Gold Ltd., its Shareholders and Goldcorp Inc.
     Shareholders whose Glamis Shares are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee should contact that nominee for instructions and assistance in delivering those Glamis Shares and registering interests in Goldcorp Shares as contemplated by this Letter of Transmittal (all as defined below).
     This Letter of Transmittal is for use by registered holders (“Glamis Shareholders”) of common shares (“Glamis Shares”) of Glamis Gold Ltd. (“Glamis”) in connection with the acquisition of Glamis by Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”), as described in Glamis’ management information circular dated as of September 25, 2006, supplemented by the supplement dated as of October 13, 2006 (collectively the “Circular”). Glamis Shareholders are referred to the Circular, including the Appendices that form part of and are incorporated into the Circular, previously mailed to Glamis Shareholders. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Letter of Transmittal that are used in the Circular have the respective meanings set out in the Circular, including the Appendices attached thereto.
     In order to receive common shares of Goldcorp (“Goldcorp Shares”) and the cash payment, each Glamis Shareholder must submit this Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, together with all other required documents, to CIBC Mellon Trust Company (the “Depositary”), at one of the addresses set forth on the last page of this Letter of Transmittal. It is the Glamis Shareholder’s responsibility to ensure that this Letter of Transmittal is received by the Depositary.
     Glamis Shareholders who have properly completed, duly executed and delivered this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents will receive in exchange for each of their Glamis Shares, 1.69 Goldcorp Shares and $0.0001 in cash.
     No fractional Goldcorp Shares will be issued to any Glamis Shareholder. If a Glamis Shareholder is entitled to a fractional share representing 0.5 or more of a Goldcorp Share, the number of Goldcorp Shares to be issued to that Glamis Shareholder will be rounded up to the nearest whole Goldcorp Share. If a Glamis Shareholder is entitled to a fractional share representing less than 0.5 of a Goldcorp Share, the number of Goldcorp Shares to be issued to that Glamis Shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole Goldcorp Share.
     Any cash consideration to be received by a Glamis Shareholder will be rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
Glamis Shareholders who do not deliver their Glamis Share certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary on or before November 4, 2012 shall lose their right to receive Goldcorp Shares and cash for their Glamis Shares.

  Glamis Gold Ltd.

5.   US Federal Income Tax and Backup Withholding — Substitute Form W-9
          US Shareholders should carefully review the discussion of the United States Federal Income Tax Considerations described in the Circular and should consult with their own tax advisors regarding elections that may be available to mitigate certain possible adverse US tax consequences.
          Each shareholder of Glamis who is a U.S. resident or citizen (a “U.S. Shareholder”) is required to provide the Depositary with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on the Substitute Form W-9 which is provided in Box F, and to certify whether such holder is subject to backup withholding of federal income tax. If a U.S. Shareholder has been notified by the IRS that such holder is subject to backup withholding, such shareholder must cross out item 2 of the Substitute Form W-9, unless such holder has since been notified by the IRS that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. Failure to provide the information in the Substitute Form W-9 may subject a U.S. Shareholder to penalties imposed by the IRS and 28% federal income tax withholding on any consideration subject to tax due to such holder in connection with the Arrangement. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by the holder from the IRS.
          Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to backup withholding requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN or Employer Identification Number in Part 1 of Substitute Form W-9 and sign and date the form.
          If a U.S. Shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such holder should write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN in the Substitute Form W-9, and sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number. If “Applied For” is written in the Substitute Form W-9 and the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within 60 days, the Depositary may withhold 28% of all consideration due to such holder in connection with the Arrangement until a TIN is provided to the Depositary.
A U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 SET OUT IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MAY BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES IMPOSED BY THE IRS BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 28% OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO SUCH HOLDER PURSUANT TO THE ARRANGEMENT. BACKUP WITHHOLDING IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAX. RATHER, THE 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 IRS. THE DEPOSITARY CANNOT REFUND AMOUNTS WITHHELD BY REASON OF BACKUP WITHHOLDING.
TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, SHAREHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY SUCH SHAREHOLDERS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON SUCH SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS BEING USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.
6.   Delivery Instructions
          If the box entitled “Delivery Instructions” is not completed, any new share certificate(s) and cheque issued in exchange for Glamis Shares will be mailed to the depositing Glamis Shareholder at the address of the Glamis Shareholder as it appears in this Letter of Transmittal. If no address of the Glamis Shareholder is provided in this Letter of Transmittal, then it will be mailed to the address of the Glamis Shareholder as it appears on the securities register of Glamis.
