GOLDCORP ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF

HUMAN RIGHTS ASSESSMENT REPORT

Vancouver, British Columbia – May 17, 2010 – GOLDCORP INC. (GG: NYSE; G: TSX) today announced the receipt of the final human rights assessment report from the Steering Committee for the Human Rights Impact Assessment of the Marlin Mine. The report, prepared by On Common Ground Consultants Inc., is the result of an eighteen month assessment of how the Marlin Mine’s presence and operations have affected human rights, and whether the company’s policies, procedures and practices comply with international human rights standards. Goldcorp agreed with a group of its socially responsible shareholders to undertake the independent human rights impact assessment of the mine in 2008. The Steering Committee, comprised of a representative of the shareholder group, a representative from Guatemala, and a company representative, oversaw the assessment process which was guided by the tenets of transparency, independence, and inclusivity.

“The delivery of the assessment report is the next step of a continuous process of engagement with interested stakeholders,” said Chuck Jeannes, Goldcorp President and Chief Executive Officer. “Goldcorp appreciates the diligent efforts by the Steering Committee to manage the process, by On Common Ground to conduct the assessment, to analyze the information gathered, and to provide constructive recommendations to Goldcorp regarding improvements to the Company’s human rights performance, and to all Guatemalans who participated in contributing information to the assessment. This report further demonstrates Goldcorp’s commitment to contributing positively to the sustainable prosperity of the communities in which the Company operates.” Consistent with its commitment to respond to the report’s findings and recommendations, a detailed response to the recommendations and an action plan will be announced once the company has had an opportunity to review the over 200-page report.
