     This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the registration statement on Form F-10, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on January 14, 2005 and Amendment No. 2 filed on January 25, 2005 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) filed by Goldcorp Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Goldcorp” or the “Registrant”) relating to the offer of the Registrant and Goldcorp Acquisition ULC, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. on the basis of 0.25 Goldcorp common share for each Wheaton common share (the “Offer).

The Notice of Extension, dated January 24, 2004 (the “First Notice of Extension”), was filed as Exhibit 4.46 to Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement and amended and supplemented certain terms and conditions of the Offer contained in the Take Over Bid Circular. The Notice of Extension and Subsequent Offering Period, dated February 14, 2005 (the “Second Notice of Extension”), is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.56.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO
OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

INDEMNIFICATION

     Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Registrant may indemnify a present or former director or officer or person who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer of another corporation of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or body corporate and provided that the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the Registrant and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval. A director is entitled to indemnification from the Registrant as a matter of right if he was substantially successful on the merits in his defense and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.

     In accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the by-laws of the Registrant indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at a Registrant’s request as a director or officer of a corporation in which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor against any and all losses and expenses reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative action or proceeding to which he was made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or other corporation if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, he had reasonable grounds in believing that his conduct was lawful.

     A policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance is maintained by the Registrant which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Registrant for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the by-laws and the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy in the United States as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

NEWS RELEASE

Wheaton Shareholders Say “YES” To Goldcorp!
Goldcorp Extends Offer Expiry To February 28, 2005

TORONTO, ONTARIO — February 14, 2005 — GOLDCORP INC. (NYSE:GG) (TSX:G) has announced that the two-thirds minimum bid requirement condition to combine Goldcorp Inc. and Wheaton River Minerals Ltd., has been met. To date, approximately 396,603,552 Wheaton River common shares, representing approximately 69% of the total outstanding Wheaton River common shares, have been tendered to Goldcorp’s Offer. Goldcorp Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Goldcorp Acquisition ULC, will immediately take up all Common Shares that were deposited prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005 and payment for such Common Shares will be made on February 17, 2005.

Additionally, to complete the transaction, Goldcorp has extended the Offer expiry date to give the remaining Wheaton River shareholders more time to tender. THE LAST DAY FOR WHEATON RIVER SHAREHOLDERS TO TENDER THEIR SHARES IS NOW FEBRUARY 28, 5:00PM TORONTO TIME. The period beginning at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005 and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on February 28, 2005 is a “subsequent offering period” under Rule 14d-11 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the subsequent offering period, Goldcorp will accept for payment and promptly pay for Wheaton River common shares as they are tendered. Wheaton River shareholders who tender Wheaton River shares during such period will be paid the same consideration paid to Wheaton River shareholders who tendered their Wheaton River common shares prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005.

“A major force in the gold industry is being created today. The new Goldcorp will become the gold investment of choice for investors looking for safety, growth, profits and dividends,” said Rob McEwen, Goldcorp Chairman and CEO.

“I am very pleased that Wheaton River shareholders continue to support the future growth and value of the new Goldcorp. Together with Wheaton and Goldcorp’s combined world class assets, mining expertise, strong management and extraordinary people the future is extremely bright,” said Ian Telfer, Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. Chairman and CEO.

The new Goldcorp will be the lowest-cost million-ounce gold producer in the world! With a low risk profile, world-class assets and an exceptional balance sheet, the new Goldcorp will be uniquely positioned in the gold industry. Joining two of the most successful CEO’s in the world of mining today, Goldcorp’s Rob McEwen will become Chairman of the Board and Ian Telfer will be the new President and Chief Executive Officer of new Goldcorp.

Now that the Wheaton River minimum bid conditions are satisfied, Goldcorp shareholders of record at the close of business on February 16, 2005, will receive on February 28, 2005, a special cash dividend of US$0.50 per share, which was previously announced on February 8, 2005.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

THIS TRANSACTION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE OFFER AND CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

The Offer is made for shares of a Canadian issuer by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this document in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and may be subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies. This document will form a part of a registration statement on Form F-10. A reconciliation between Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as they relate to the Goldcorp financial statements and the pro forma financial statements are included or incorporated by reference in this document and in the registration statement.

Shareholders in the United States should be aware that the disposition of Common Shares and acquisition of Goldcorp Shares as described herein may have tax consequences both in Canada and the United States. The material tax consequences for such Shareholders are described in “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”, respectively, in the Offer and Circular. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them of the disposition of Common Shares and acquisition of Goldcorp Shares as described herein.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Goldcorp and Wheaton are incorporated under laws outside the United States, that some or all of their officers and directors reside outside the United States, that some or all of the experts named in the Offer and Circular reside outside the United States and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of Goldcorp and Wheaton and of the above-mentioned persons may be located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue Goldcorp or Wheaton, or any of their respective officers, directors or experts, in a Canadian court for violations of United States securities laws. It may be difficult to compel Goldcorp or Wheaton or any of their respective officers, directors or experts to subject themselves to a judgment of a United States court.

Goldcorp’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and filed with appropriate regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those with respect to the prices of gold, copper and silver, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, reserves determination, costs and timing of the development of new deposits and permitting time lines, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Goldcorp to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the actual results of current exploration activities, actual results of current reclamation activities, conclusions of economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined and the future prices of gold, copper and silver. Although Goldcorp 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 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.

Many of these factors are beyond the control of the Offerors and their subsidiaries. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in the Offer and Circular are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the expected results or developments anticipated by Goldcorp will be realized.

INFORMATION CONCERNING WHEATON

The information concerning Wheaton contained in the Offer and Circular has been taken from or is based upon publicly available documents and records on file with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, and other public sources. Although Goldcorp has no knowledge that would indicate that any statements contained herein relating to Wheaton taken from or based upon such documents, records and sources are untrue or incomplete, neither of the Offerors, nor any of their officers or directors, assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information relating to Wheaton taken from or based upon such documents, records and sources, or for any failure by Wheaton to disclose events which may have occurred or which may affect the significance or accuracy of any such information but which are unknown to the Offerors.

NOTICE OF EXTENSION AND SUBSEQUENT OFFERING PERIOD

February 14, 2005

TO:   THE SHAREHOLDERS OF WHEATON RIVER MINERALS LTD.

      This Notice of Extension and Subsequent Offering Period (the “Notice of Extension”) amends and supplements the offer to purchase and accompanying circular of the Offerors dated December 29, 2004 (the “Take-over Bid Circular”), the accompanying Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the Notice of Extension dated January 24, 2005 and the Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 29, 2004, as amended by amendments to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on January 14, 2005, January 21, 2005, January 25, 2005, January 26, 2005, January 27, 2005, January 28, 2005, February 3, 2005, February 4, 2005, February 8, 2005, February 9, 2005, February 10, 2005 and February 11, 2005 (collectively, the “Offer and Circular”). Except as otherwise set forth in this Notice of Extension, the information, terms and conditions in the Offer and Circular continue to be applicable in all respects and this Notice of Extension should be read in conjunction with the Offer and Circular, the provisions of which (as hereby amended) are incorporated herein by reference. Unless the context otherwise requires, terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Offer and Circular. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Offer” means the offer by the Offerors to purchase Common Shares as set out in the Offer and Circular, as varied by this Notice of Extension.

1.   Extension of the Offer/Subsequent Offering Period

      By press release issued by the Offerors, and notice delivered to the Depositary, on February 14, 2005, the Offerors have extended the Expiry Time of the Offer from 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005 to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on February 28, 2005 or such later time and date or times and dates as the Offerors may fix from time to time pursuant to Section 5 of the Offer, “Extension and Variation of the Offer”, unless the Offer is withdrawn. As of February 14, 2005, approximately 396,603,552 million Common Shares (representing approximately 69% of the outstanding Common Shares) have been deposited pursuant to the Offer. The Offerors will immediately take up all Common Shares that were deposited prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005 and payment for such Common Shares will be made on February 17, 2005.

      Although it does constitute an extension of the Offer under Canadian securities laws, the extension of the Offer until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on February 28, 2005 pursuant to this Notice of Extension does not constitute an extension of the Offer for the purposes of the U.S. Exchange Act. For the purposes of the U.S. Exchange Act, the extension described in this Notice of Extension constitutes a “Subsequent Offering Period” under the Rule 14d-11 of the U.S. Exchange Act. For purposes of the U.S. Exchange Act, the Subsequent Offering Period is an additional period of time beginning at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005 and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on February 28, 2005 during which Shareholders may deposit Common Shares not deposited prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005. For purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws, the Subsequent Offering Period is an additional period of time by which the Offer is extended, following the satisfaction of all conditions of the Offer and the take up of all Common Shares then deposited under the Offer, and during which period Shareholders may deposit Common Shares not deposited prior to the commencement of the Subsequent Offering Period with respect to the Offer. The same form and amount of consideration will be paid to Shareholders depositing Common Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period as will be paid to Shareholders who deposited their Common Shares prior to the commencement of the Subsequent Offering Period. Notwithstanding the provisions of the U.S. Exchange Act regarding subsequent offering periods, the Offerors will permit withdrawal of Common Shares deposited during any Subsequent Offering Period at any time prior to the expiry of such Subsequent Offering Period; provided, however, that this right of withdrawal will not apply in respect of Deposited Securities taken up by the Offeror prior to the Subsequent Offering Period. Withdrawing holders of Common Shares who have deposited such Common Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period and have received payment for such Common Shares must return such payment to the applicable Offeror prior to any withdrawal.

2.   Conditions of the Offer

      The Offer remains subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4 of the Offer and Circular, “Conditions of the Offer”. All of the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied.

1


 

3.   Changes in Information in the Offer and Circular

Special Dividend to Goldcorp Shareholders

      On February 8, 2005, Goldcorp announced by press release that a special cash dividend of $0.50 per Goldcorp Share (the “Special Dividend”) would be paid, subject to the successful completion of the Offer, to the holders of Goldcorp Shares (the “Goldcorp Shareholders”) as an incentive for the Goldcorp Shareholders to vote in favour of the issuance of Goldcorp Shares necessary to effect the Wheaton transaction.

      As the Offer has been successfully completed, the Special Dividend will be paid on February 28, 2005 to Goldcorp shareholders of record on February 16, 2005. The Special Dividend will not be received by holders of Common Shares who tender their Common Shares to the Offer. Wheaton has consented to the declaration and payment of the Special Dividend.

      The payment of the Special Dividend will have no material impact on the pro forma financial statements contained in the Offer and Circular or on earnings per share and other similar financial calculations of the combined company resulting from the completion of the Offer and the Subsequent Acquisition Transaction.

Recent Prices of Common Shares and Goldcorp Shares

      The closing prices of the Common Shares on the TSX and the AMEX on February 11, 2005 were C$4.11 and $3.33, respectively. The closing prices of the Goldcorp Shares on the TSX and the NYSE on February 11, 2005 were C$17.07 and $13.79, respectively.

4.   Recent Developments

Offer for Wheaton

      On January 24, 2005, Goldcorp mailed a Notice of Extension to the Wheaton Shareholders, notifying the Wheaton Shareholders that the Offerors extended the Expiry Time of the Offer to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005.

Consideration of the Wheaton Transaction by the Goldcorp Shareholders

      On January 28, 2005, Glamis filed an information supplement to its dissident proxy circular with respect to the Goldcorp Meeting.

      On February 10, 2005, the Goldcorp Shareholders voted in favour of the Wheaton transaction at the Goldcorp Meeting, thereby satisfying one of the conditions of the Offer.

Glamis Offer for Goldcorp

      On February 7, 2005, Glamis issued a press release announcing its plan to increase the consideration under the Glamis Offer from 0.89 to 0.92 of a common share of Glamis for each Goldcorp Share and extending the expiry time of the Glamis Offer from February 14, 2005 to February 24, 2005. Glamis filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities its revised offer to Goldcorp shareholders on February 8, 2005.

      On February 9, 2005, the shareholders of Glamis voted in favour of removing the restriction on the number of common shares that Glamis is authorized to issue, satisfying one of the conditions of the Glamis Offer.

      On February 10, 2005, Glamis announced that, because the Goldcorp Shareholders approved the Wheaton transaction, the conditions to the Glamis Offer could not be satisfied and, therefore, Glamis intended to allow the Glamis Offer to expire as scheduled on February 24, 2005 without taking up any Goldcorp Shares, effectively terminating the Glamis Offer.

5.   Time for Acceptance

      Common Shares not previously deposited to the Offer may be deposited in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of the Offer entitled “Time for Acceptance”, until the Expiry Time, being 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on February 28, 2005.

2


 

6.   Withdrawal of Deposited Common Shares

      Except as otherwise stated in this Section 6, all deposits of Common Shares pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable. Unless otherwise required or permitted by applicable Law, any Common Shares deposited in acceptance of the Offer may be withdrawn by or on behalf of the depositing Shareholder:

  (a) at any time before the Common Shares have been taken up by the Offerors pursuant to the Offer;
 
  (b) at any time before the expiration of 10 Business Days from the date upon which either:

  (i) a notice of change relating to a change which has occurred in the information contained in the Offer or the Circular, each as amended from time to time, which change is one that would reasonably be expected to affect the decision of a Shareholder to accept or reject the Offer (other than a change that is not within the control of the Offerors or of an Affiliate of the Offerors) in the event that such change occurs before the Expiry Time or after the Expiry Time but before the expiry of all rights of withdrawal in respect of the Offer; or
 
  (ii) a notice of variation concerning a variation in the terms of the Offer (other than a variation consisting solely of an increase in the consideration offered for the Common Shares under the Offer where the time for deposit is not extended for a period greater than 10 days);

  is mailed, delivered or otherwise properly communicated, but only if such deposited Common Shares have not been taken up by the Offerors at the time of the notice and subject to abridgement of that period pursuant to such order or orders as may be granted by Canadian courts or securities regulatory authorities; or

  (c) if the Common Shares have not been paid for by the Offerors within 3 Business Days after having been taken up;
 
  (d) during a Subsequent Offering Period; provided, however, that this right of withdrawal will not apply in respect of Common Shares taken up by an Offeror prior to the Subsequent Offering Period; and
 
  (e) as required by the U.S. Exchange Act, at any time after February 26, 2005 provided that the Common Shares have not been accepted for payment by the purchasing Offeror prior to the receipt by the Depositary of the notice of withdrawal in respect of such Common Shares.

      If the Offerors waive any terms or conditions of the Offer and extend the Offer in circumstances where the rights of withdrawal set forth in Section 6(b) above are applicable, the Offer shall be extended without the Offerors first taking up the Common Shares that are subject to the rights of withdrawal.

      Withdrawals of Common Shares deposited to the Offer must be effected by notice of withdrawal made by or on behalf of the depositing Shareholder and must be received by the Depositary at the place of deposit of the applicable Common Shares within the time limits indicated above. Notice of withdrawal must: (i) be made by a method, including a manually signed facsimile transmission, that provides the Depositary with a written or printed copy; (ii) be signed by the person who signed the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal accompanying, or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in respect of, the Common Shares that are to be withdrawn; and (iii) specify such person’s name, the number of Common Shares to be withdrawn, the name of the registered holder and the certificate number shown on each certificate representing the Common Shares to be withdrawn. The withdrawal will take effect upon receipt by the Depositary of the properly completed notice of withdrawal. Any signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution in the same manner as in a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal (as described in the instructions set out in such letter), except in the case of Common Shares deposited for the account of an Eligible Institution. None of the Offerors, the Depositary, or any other person will be under any duty to give notice of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or shall incur any liability for failure to give such notice.

      Withdrawals may not be rescinded and any Common Shares withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly deposited for purposes of the Offer. However, withdrawn Common Shares may be redeposited at any time at or prior to the Expiry Time by again following one of the procedures described in the section entitled “Manner of Acceptance” in the Offer.

      The ability of a purchasing Offeror to delay the payment for Common Shares that such Offeror has taken up is limited by Rule 14e-1(c) under the U.S. Exchange Act, which requires that a bidder pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on behalf of securityholders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of such

bidder’s offer, unless such bidder elects to offer a subsequent offering period and pays for the securities deposited during the subsequent offering period in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the U.S. Exchange Act. The Depositary, on behalf of the Offerors, is bound by Rule 14e-1(c) under the U.S. Exchange Act in retaining Deposited Shares under these circumstances.

      Notwithstanding the provisions of United States federal securities laws relating to subsequent offering periods, the Offerors will permit withdrawal of deposited Common Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period at any time prior to the Expiry Time of such Subsequent Offering Period; provided, however, that this right of withdrawal will not apply in respect of Deposited Shares taken up by an Offeror prior to the Subsequent Offering Period. Withdrawing holders of Common Shares who have deposited such Common Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period and have received payment for such Common Shares must return such payment to the applicable Offeror prior to any withdrawal.

      If the Offerors are delayed in taking up or paying for Common Shares or are unable to take up or pay for Common Shares for any reason, then, without prejudice to the Offerors’ other rights, Common Shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent that depositing Shareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as set forth in this Section 6 or pursuant to Laws.

      In addition to the foregoing rights of withdrawal, holders of Common Shares in certain provinces of Canada are entitled to statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, in certain circumstances. Please see the section entitled “Offerees’ Statutory Rights” in the Circular.

      All questions as to the validity (including timely receipt) and form of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Offerors and the Depositary (on behalf of the Offerors) in their sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding.

7.   Payment for Deposited Common Shares

      During the period beginning at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005 and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on February 28, 2005, the Offerors will take up Common Shares validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 6 above promptly as such Common Shares are tendered. The Offerors are obligated to pay for Common Shares that they have taken up promptly after taking up such Common Shares. Any Common Shares deposited under the Offer after the first date on which Common Shares have been taken up by the Offerors will be taken up and paid for promptly.

      The Offerors will pay for Common Shares validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn by providing the Depositary with sufficient certificates representing Goldcorp Shares for transmittal to depositing Shareholders. Under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid by the Offerors or the Depositary to persons depositing Common Shares on the purchase price of Common Shares purchased by the Offerors, regardless of any delay in making such payment. The Depositary will act as the agent of persons who have deposited Common Shares in acceptance of the Offer for the purposes of receiving share certificates from the Offerors and transmitting such share certificates to such persons, and receipt of certificates representing Goldcorp Shares by the Depositary shall be deemed to constitute receipt thereof by persons depositing Common Shares.

      Fractions of Goldcorp Shares will not be issued. Any fractional number of Goldcorp Shares equal to or greater than 0.5 will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Goldcorp Shares and less than 0.5 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Goldcorp Shares.

      Settlement will be made by the Depositary issuing or causing to be issued a share certificate representing the appropriate number of Goldcorp Shares to which the person depositing Common Shares is entitled. Unless otherwise directed in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, such share certificate will be issued in the name of the registered holder of deposited Common Shares. Unless the person depositing Common Shares instructs the Depositary to hold the certificate representing Goldcorp Shares for pick-up by checking the appropriate box in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, such share certificate will be forwarded by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such person at the address specified in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal. If no address is specified, the share certificate will be forwarded to the address of the Shareholder as shown on the appropriate share register maintained by or on behalf of Wheaton. Share certificates mailed in accordance with this paragraph will be deemed to have been delivered at the time of mailing.

      Depositing Shareholders will not be obligated to pay any brokerage fee or commission if they accept the Offer by depositing their Common Shares directly with the Depositary.

8.   Amendment of the Offer

      The Offer and Circular are amended to reflect the new information contained in this Notice of Extension.

9.   Offerees’ Statutory Rights

      Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides securityholders of Wheaton with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, if there is a misrepresentation in a circular or notice that is required to be delivered to such securityholders. However, such rights must be exercised within prescribed time limits. Shareholders should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their province or territory for the particulars of those rights or consult with a lawyer.

10.   Directors’ Approval

      The contents of this Notice of Extension have been approved, and the publication and the sending thereof to the Shareholders has been authorized, by the boards of directors of the Offerors.

CONSENT AND AGREEMENT

     
Re:
  Acquisition Agreement dated December 23, 2004 (“Acquisition Agreement”) between Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) and Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. (“Wheaton”)
 
   
Date:
  February 7, 2005

     WHEREAS all terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Acquisition Agreement;

     AND WHEREAS subsection 6.2(b)(ii) of the Acquisition Agreement provides, in part, that unless Wheaton shall otherwise agree in writing, acting reasonably, Goldcorp will not declare, set aside or pay any dividend (whether in cash, shares or property) in respect of its shares owned by any person, except for dividends paid in the ordinary course consistent with past practice;

     AND WHEREAS Goldcorp has advised Wheaton that it wishes to declare a special cash dividend of U.S.$0.50 per Goldcorp Share (the “Special Goldcorp Dividend”) payable to Goldcorp Shareholders of record no later than one trading day prior to the payment by Goldcorp for the Wheaton Shares tendered under the Offer (or such other record date as may be agreed by Goldcorp with the TSX and the NYSE) and Wheaton has agreed to the declaration, setting aside and payment of the Special Goldcorp Dividend by Goldcorp;

     NOW THEREFORE IN CONSIDERATION of the covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:

1.     Wheaton consents and agrees to the declaration of the Special Goldcorp Dividend by Goldcorp to be paid to Goldcorp Shareholders of record no later than one trading day prior to the payment by Goldcorp for the Wheaton Shares tendered under the Offer (or such other record date as may be agreed by Goldcorp with the TSX and the NYSE) and Wheaton and Goldcorp agree that the Special Goldcorp Dividend does not breach, or give rise to any termination rights under, the Acquisition Agreement.

2.     Wheaton acknowledges and agrees that the Special Goldcorp Dividend will not be paid to Wheaton Shareholders who tender their Wheaton Shares to the Offer.

3.     Goldcorp represents and warrants to Wheaton that the board of directors of Goldcorp has determined that the offer from Glamis Gold Ltd. (“Glamis”), as amended on February 7, 2005 to increase the exchange ratio to 0.92 of a common share of Glamis for each Goldcorp Share tendered thereunder, does not constitute a Superior Proposal after giving effect to the Special Goldcorp Dividend and continues to recommend that the shareholders of Goldcorp reject the offer from Glamis and vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Goldcorp Share Issuance to be considered at the Goldcorp Meeting to be held on February 10, 2004.

 


 

- 2 -

4.     Wheaton and Goldcorp agree that no notice or other documentation is required to be sent to Wheaton Shareholders in respect of the matters contemplated by this consent and that the Expiry Time of the offer will continue to be 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 14, 2005.

5.     Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to sign any further documents, or do any further acts, that may be required to give full effect to the foregoing.

6.     Except as above provided, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unamended and the Acquisition Agreement is hereby confirmed in all respects.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF Goldcorp and Wheaton have caused this consent to be executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.
