January 25, 2005
Dear Goldcorp Shareholders:
The future of our company will be decided in the next few weeks and the decisions that we make will be of critical importance to the value of our investment in Goldcorp.
I am the Chairman and CEO of Goldcorp and, as you may know, I am also its third largest shareholder. We urge you to VOTE FOR THE WHEATON RIVER MINERALS LTD. TRANSACTION, that was announced on December 6, 2004, because we believe the combination of Goldcorp and Wheaton is strategically compelling. The combined company will be geographically diverse with two world-class assets and be the lowest cost million ounce producer in the gold industry. Furthermore, New Goldcorp will have the strongest balance sheet among its peers and a metals mix in line with some of the most highly valued gold companies in the industry.
Our friendly merger with Wheaton, which will create additional value for shareholders, has been challenged by a hostile bid from Glamis Gold Ltd. We firmly believe the Wheaton deal is the right deal! It is far superior to the Glamis proposal and we urge you to VOTE FOR THE WHEATON TRANSACTION and REJECT the unsolicited hostile take-over offer by Glamis.
The Board of Directors of Goldcorp carefully reviewed and considered the Glamis offer and the recommendations of a Special Committee composed entirely of independent directors. Among the advice received by the Special Committee was an opinion from its financial advisor, Morgan Stanley Canada Limited. The Special Committee recommended to the full Board of Directors that they reject the inadequate, low premium unsolicited takeover offer from Glamis of December 16, 2004. The Board then unanimously reaffirmed and recommended that Goldcorp shareholders VOTE IN FAVOUR of the Goldcorp/Wheaton transaction.
The Wheaton transaction offers Goldcorp shareholders:
| STRONGER EARNINGS PER SHARE | |
| LOWER RISK | |
| PROVEN MANAGEMENT |
VOTE FOR THE WHEATON TRANSACTION
REJECT THE GLAMIS OFFER
WHY WHEATON?
The Wheaton transaction is financially beneficial to Goldcorp shareholders: The Wheaton transaction is accretive and financially beneficial to Goldcorp shareholders. The transaction will provide better earnings per share, cash flow per share, and net asset value per share on your investment.
Wheaton is far more profitable than Glamis: During the first nine months of 2004, Wheaton earned nearly six times more in net income than Glamis (US$86 million versus US$15 million). For the full year 2003, Wheaton earned US$58 million in net income versus only US$18 million for Glamis.
Wheaton produces significantly more gold than Glamis: In 2004, Wheaton produced more than twice as much gold (more than 500,000 ounces) as Glamis (234,000 ounces).
Wheaton has consistently met its production projections: Wheaton has laid out realistic production targets and met them without fail since Ian Telfer became CEO. Glamis has consistently missed its production projections! Now Glamis wants you to believe that its latest set of projections will be met, yet 35% of those 2006 forecasted projections depend on projects still in development.
Wheaton has significantly more cash resources than Glamis: Wheaton has more than US$400 million in cash and securities, compared to Glamis, which has only US$22 million (as of September 30, 2004).
STRONG MANAGEMENT FOR A STRONG NEW GOLDCORP
Wheatons underground mining experience is complementary to Goldcorps underground mining experience. Glamis is not: Wheaton has managed to lower costs and increase production consistently quarter after quarter at its underground operations. Glamis currently has no underground mines. The Goldcorp team built the Red Lake operation and knows it better than a company with no underground mines. There is no assurance that the Goldcorp team would remain to provide Glamis with on-the-job training at Red Lake.
The combination of Goldcorp and Wheaton brings together two of the most successful and entrepreneurial CEOs in the world of mining. We have been fortunate to enjoy tremendous success growing Goldcorp internally through Red Lake, while Ian Telfer has made several highly accretive acquisitions resulting in returns to Wheatons shareholders of more than 200% in just two years. Both of our companies share the same vision for the future of our combined company: we are focused on enhancing shareholder value with the New Goldcorp.
VOTE FOR THE WHEATON TRANSACTION
REJECT THE GLAMIS OFFER
The choice is clear: The Wheaton transaction is clearly superior! Dont gamble the future of your investment on a risky deal. To protect the future of your investment, we urge you to VOTE FOR THE WHEATON TRANSACTION by signing, dating and returning the enclosed GREEN proxy today.
Best regards,
Rob McEwen
Chairman and CEO
Goldcorp Inc.
