Toronto, February 7, 2002 – GOLDCORP INC. (GG: NYSE; G:TSE) is pleased to announce that its financial and operating results for the year ending December 31, 2001 established record highs for gold production and cash flow and earnings per share, and record lows for production costs. We met or exceeded all previous forecasts. For the year 2001, Goldcorp generated $1.16 and $0.64 per share of cash flow and earnings, respectively. Relative to the year 2000, cash flow increased by 1180% while earnings increased dramatically.

LOW COST PRODUCTION GROWTH

Gold production for 2001 was a record 607,403 ounces at a cash cost of $85 per ounce. Compared to 2000, this represents a 240% increase in production and a 62% decrease in cash costs. The Red Lake Mine, in its first year of commercial operation, produced 503,385 ounces at a cash cost of $59 per ounce!

GOLD IS MONEY!

Goldcorp believes that Gold is Money. Therefore, it has increased its gold bullion holdings during the fourth quarter from 28,000 ounces to 1.1 tonnes or 35,000 ounces. Had this gold been sold, cash flow per share for the fourth quarter and full year 2001, respectively, would have been $0.02 and $0.10 higher than reported, while earnings per share would have been $0.01 and $0.04 higher than reported and cash would have increased by over $9 million. This gold bullion inventory is carried on the balance sheet at cost. We are currently developing a strategy with respect to the potential for more substantial increases in our bullion holdings.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS – UNHEDGED, DEBT FREE FOURTH QUARTER ended DECEMBER 31, 2001

Cash flow from operations was $22.7 million, or $0.28 per share, compared with $8.7 million or $0.11 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2000. Earnings were $12.2 million, or $0.15 per share, compared with a loss of $13.6 million, or a loss of $0.17 per share in the same period of 2000.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS YEAR ended DECEMBER 31, 2001

Cash flow from operations in 2001 was $95.6 million, or $1.16 per share, compared with $7.5 million, or $0.09 per share in 2000. Earnings for 2001 were $52.8 million, or $0.64 per share, compared with a loss of $19.3 million or $0.24 per share in 2000.

Gold production for 2001 was 607,403 ounces at a cash cost of $85 per ounce sold. This compares with production of 178,929 ounces at a cash cost of $223 per ounce sold. In its first full year of commercial production the Red Lake Mine produced 503,385 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $59 per ounce sold. During 2001 the Wharf Mine produced 104,018 ounces at a cash cost of $212 per ounce sold compared with 93,814 ounces at a cash cost of $223 per ounce sold for the full year 2000.

INDUSTRY LEADING MARGINS

Profit margins continue to be extremely competitive. For 2001, our gross operating margin was 66%, our net profit margin was 32% and our return on equity 34%.

DIVIDEND PAYMENT

A special dividend of $0.10 per share was paid on November 7, 2001. This increased our total dividend payment for 2001 to $0.20 per share and our yield to approximately 1.6% (based on the year end 2001 share price).

In 2002, Goldcorp intends to pay a $0.20 dividend with quarterly payments of $0.05 per share commencing in the first quarter. The plan is to provide shareholders with the option to take this dividend payment in US$, CDN$ or gold bullion.

RED LAKE MINE

EXCEPTIONAL FIRST YEAR OF COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION

During 2001, the performance of the Red Lake Mine significantly exceeded the original business plan (feasibility study) forecasted annual production of 240,000 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $88 per ounce. The 503,385 ounces produced during 2001 represents a 110% improvement from original forecasts, while the cash cost of $59 per ounce is 33% lower.

Fourth quarter production of 113,694 ounces resulted from the processing of 64,898 tons (at an average rate of 705 tons per day) with an average grade of 2.14 ounces of gold per ton (opt) or 73.38 grams per tonne (gpt) with a recovery rate of 88.2%. Year to date production of 503,385 ounces has resulted from the processing of 246,618 tons (at an average rate of 676 tons per day) with an average grade of 2.26 opt Au (77.50 gpt) with a recovery rate of 88.5%. This production also included 16,355 ounces from processing concentrate.

ACHIEVING EXPLORATION SUCCESS

During the fourth quarter, 2001 work continued towards the goal of doubling the vertical extent of the High Grade Zone (HGZ) to a depth of 7000 feet (ft) or 2134 metres (m). To date the main focus has been on the Hanging Wall 5 Zone (HW5) which is the highest grade zone and accounts for 25% of our reserves.

Goldcorp Inc. – 2001 Fourth Quarter Results Page 4

Results continued to be encouraging with intersections of up to 13.82 opt (473.7 gpt) over a length of 16.0 ft (4.9 m) in hole 34L860DW. The deepest intersection to date identified the HW5 Zone at a vertical depth of 6763 ft (2061m) with an average grade 5.41 opt (185.5 gpt) over a length of 8.0 ft (2.4 m) in hole 34L860GW. This work has progressed now more than 80% towards the goal of doubling the vertical extent of the HW5 Zone.

Additional drilling continued to indicate that the Footwall Zones of the HGZ were larger and more continuous than previously thought and, perhaps most importantly, that the mineralization in these zones remains open at depth. The most significant recent intersections included 7.94 opt Au (272.2 gpt) across 4.0 ft (1.22m) in hole 37L167 and 2.84 opt Au (97.3 gpt) across 10.0 ft (3.05m) in hole 37L168.

PAST PRODUCTION, INTRIGUING POTENTIAL

Prior to mining the HGZ, past production from the Red Lake Mine (1948 to 1996) took place in lower grade (sulphide) mineralization, with the deepest area mined being 4400 ft (1372 m) below surface. Drilling prior to 2001 has encountered this mineralization for an additional 3000 ft (915 m) vertically. Drilling during 2001 continued to identify the continuity of this mineralization with intersections of up to 0.96 opt (32.9 gpt) across 16.4 ft (5.0 m) in hole 37L037.

LARGE TARGET – FAR EAST ZONE

To the east of current mine workings exploration of the Far East Zone is testing the potential for additional mineralization of both the high grade type currently being mined, and the lower grade (or sulphide) type previously mined. During the fourth quarter the most significant intersection to date was obtained in hole 16L1141 with 1.42 opt Au (48.7 gpt) across 27.3 ft (8.3 m). To date mineralization in the Far East Zone has been encountered over a vertical extent of 5,400 ft (1646 m) and lateral distance of 1500 ft (457 m). This mineralization is located approximately 1200 ft (366m) east of the easterly limits of previous mine activity and is more than 4000 ft (1219 m) from the eastern property boundary.

2002 PRODUCTION AND EXPLORATION OUTLOOK

A decision was made to decrease production modestly at the Red Lake Mine in 2002 relative to 2001 to facilitate additional development work in support of our exploration effort. This additional development will create access points which will allow systematic exploration to test for the continuation, at depth, of all the individual zones, which together make up the HGZ and the testing of three other major exploration target areas. A minor increase in production costs at Red Lake in response to this, is forecast, although we are still forecasting low cash costs of below $70 per ounce. Relative to 2001 higher production costs at the Wharf Mine are anticipated during 2002.

For 2002 total corporate production is forecast at 570,000 ounces of gold at a cash cost of less than $100 per ounce. The contribution from Red Lake is forecast to be 475,000 ounces at a cash cost of less than $70 per ounce.

The 2002 exploration program at the Red Lake Mine will focus on 4 principal target areas. First, to test for the vertical continuation of all zones comprising the HGZ. Second, to test for lateral extensions of the HGZ to the east and west. Third, to explore for extensions of the lower grade sulphide mineralization at depth; and Fourth, to test (by surface and underground drilling) for continuation of Far East mineralization to the east.

Goldcorp Inc. – 2001 Fourth Quarter Results Page 7

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Commercial production at Red Lake began on January 1, 2001, with actual mining of the high grade ore commencing in July 2000. The production from Red Lake has had a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2001, and the comparisons with prior periods.

Earnings and Cash Flow

Goldcorp’s earnings for the fourth quarter of 2001, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, were $12.2 million, or $0.15 per share. This compares with a loss of $13.6 million, or $0.17 per share, for the corresponding period in 2000. Operating cash flow for the quarter was $22.7 million, or $0.28 per share, compared with $8.7 million, or $0.11 per share for the corresponding period in 2000.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, earnings were $52.8 million, or $0.64 per share ($0.63 on a diluted basis), compared with a loss of $19.3 million, or $0.24 per share, in 2000. Operating cash flow for the year was $95.6 million, versus $7.5 million last year. On a per share basis, operating cash flow was $1.16 per share ($1.14 diluted), compared with $0.09 per share for the same period in 2000.

Gold Bullion Held for Sale

The Company recognizes revenue under generally accepted accounting principles. Revenue is recognized when title passes to the purchaser and as a result revenue is recorded when the gold is sold not when the gold is produced. During the third quarter, management made the decision not to sell a portion of the gold production, accumulating approximately 28,000 ounces of bullion inventory at September 30, 2001. During the fourth quarter bullion inventory increased to approximately 35,000 ounces.

The Company believes that its financial performance should be measured with gold bullion recorded at its net realizable value based on the average realizable value during the period, which more accurately reflects the results of the Company’s production activities and eliminates income fluctuations caused by changes in inventory levels. The recognition of gold bullion inventory at net realizable value would have resulted in earnings per share of $0.16 per share for fourth quarter in 2001 and $0.68 per share for the year ended December 31, 2001. This represents respective increases of $0.01 and $0.04 per share from the reported earnings for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2001. Had the gold been sold, cash flow from operations would have increased by $0.02 and $0.10 per share during the respective three and twelve month periods to $0.30 and $1.26 per share.

Results from Saskatchewan Minerals reflect the decision last year to close the less energy efficient Ingebrigt plant, which has resulted in lower revenues but higher operating profit. The Chaplin Plant is operating virtually at capacity.

Exploration and Reserve Development

Total exploration and reserve development expenditures for the Company were $4.6 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $3.1 million in the corresponding period last year. Of the total, $1.3 million was expensed versus $0.6 million last year.

During the year, $14.4 million was expended on exploration and reserve development, compared with $7.7 million in 2000. Of the total, $4.6 million was expensed, versus $1.4 million last year. The majority of the expenditures were in support of better defining or expanding reserves and testing of new targets in the Red Lake district.

Depreciation, Depletion and Reclamation

Depreciation, depletion and reclamation expense for the fourth quarter in 2001 was $6.9 million, compared with $3.7 million for the fourth quarter in 2000. Depreciation, depletion and reclamation expense for the year ended 2001, was $20.6 million, compared with $7.6 million during the same period last year. The increase for both the three months and year ended December 31, 2001 is due to increased production with the commencement of operations at the Red Lake Mine in August 2000. In addition, during the fourth quarter, a provision for reclamation costs at the Golden Reward Mine site was recorded, increasing depreciation, depletion and reclamation expense by $3.6 million. The Golden Reward Mine has been on care and maintenance since production ceased in 1996. Management made the decision to commence reclamation of the mine site.

Other Income

Interest and other income for the fourth quarter was $1.1 million, compared with breakeven during the same period in 2000. Interest and other income for 2001 was $2.8 million, compared with $2.3 million in 2000. The increase for both the three month and twelve month periods ended 2001 is largely the result of increased interest revenue on larger cash balances and gains recorded on foreign exchange from Canadian operations. The increase resulting from larger cash balances was partially offset by lower interest rates in 2001.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income and mining taxes in both Canada and the United States. In the fourth quarter of 2001, a tax provision of $5.2 million was recorded on earnings before taxes of $17.4 million. During the corresponding period in 2000, a recovery of $3.4 million was recorded on a loss before taxes of $17.0 million. During the year ended 2001, a tax provision of $28.2 million was recorded on earnings before taxes of $81.0 million. During the same period in 2000, a recovery of $6.0 million was recorded on a loss before taxes of $25.3 million. Also included in the provision recorded for 2001 was a one-time reduction as a result of recent changes to the Ontario income tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2001, the Company had no debt and had not hedged or sold forward any of its future gold production. Goldcorp’s cash position increased from $17.2 million at December 31, 2000, to $78.1 million at the end of the fourth quarter

Cash flow provided by operating activities totalled $22.7 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $8.7 million during the corresponding period in 2000. For the twelve month period in 2001 cash flow from operations was $95.6 million, compared to $7.5 million during the same period in 2000. The strong cash generation is due largely to the operating results from Red Lake. During the year operating cash flow from the Red Lake Mine totalled $101.0 million, compared with a deficit of $0.5 million in 2000.

During 2001, the Company invested $19.1 million in its mining interests largely at Red Lake in support of its exploration and mine development effort.

The Company paid a $0.05 per share dividend in both the first and third quarters of 2001, totalling $8.2 million. During the fourth quarter a special dividend of $0.10 per share was declared and paid, bringing the total dividends paid in 2001 to $16.4 million, or $0.20 per share.

The Company’s working capital was $88.6 million, of which $78.1 million was in cash and liquid short-term investments, and $3.9 million, or approximately 35,000 ounces of gold valued at cost, was in gold bullion inventory. The market value of the gold bullion inventory, as at December 31, 2001, was $9.7 million.

Outlook for 2002

The Company expects continuing strong operating results in 2002. During the second year of commercial production at the Red Lake Mine we are projecting production of 475,000 ounces of gold, including 25,000 ounces produced from concentrate in the second half, at a cash cost of less than $70 per ounce and a total cost of under $100 per ounce. Average mill head grade is expected to be 2.14 opt Au (73.1 gpt) with an average recovery rate of 88.7%. The production forecast is based on milling 650 tons per day, down from an average of 676 tons per day during 2001. A decision was made to decrease production modestly in 2002 relative to 2001 to facilitate additional development work in support of our exploration effort. The total exploration plan is budgeted at approximately $15 million.

Production for 2002 from Wharf is forecast at 95,000 ounces at a total cash cost of $220 per ounce. The reclamation effort at the Golden Reward Mine is expected to be substantially completed over the next two year period.

Goldcorp’s balance sheet will remain strong with the necessary cash and bullion reserves to meet the expected operating and capital needs, advance its exploration program and take advantage of possible growth opportunities.
