NEWS RELEASE
2nd QUARTER 2004 RESULTS
ONLY SOLD 68% OF GOLD PRODUCED
INCREASED GOLD HOLDINGS, DEFERRED EARNINGS & CASH FLOW
NAMED ONE OF CANADA'S TOP PERFORMING COMPANIES
(All dollar amounts in US$ unless otherwise stated)
Toronto, July 21, 2004 - GOLDCORP INC. (GG: NYSE; G: TSX) reports financial results for the 2nd Quarter 2004 that reflects its strategy to stockpile, rather than sell, a large portion of its gold production in anticipation of higher gold prices.
Q2, 2004 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
FINANCIAL RESULTS
2nd Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
At June 30, 2004, the Company held treasury assets totaling $380.5 million, with cash and short-term investments of $302.9 million, gold bullion with a market value of $46.6 million and marketable securities with a market value of $31.0 million.

Bullion Adjusted Earnings (if all gold produced was sold) for the 2nd quarter, 2004 were $15.9 million, or $0.08 per share, which represents a decrease of 21% over the Bullion Adjusted Earnings for the same period in 2003. Bullion Adjusted Earnings for first half 2004 were $41.8 million, or $0.22 per share, compared with $35.3 million, or $0.19 per share, for the first half of 2003.
The Bullion Adjusted Cash Flow was $24.6 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with $21.9 million, or $0.12 per share, for the 2nd quarter, 2003. Bullion Adjusted Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $37.2 million, or $0.20 per share, compared with $8.8 million, or $0.05 per share, during the first half of 2003.
GAAP earnings for the quarter were $9.2 million ($0.05 per share) versus $17.6 million ($0.10 per share) for the same period in 2003. Earnings from operations during the quarter were $8.1 million lower than the second quarter of 2003, which represent, on an after tax basis, approximately $0.03 per share. The decrease in earnings from operations is largely due to the holdback of one-third of production (45,021 ounces) during the quarter versus 14% (21,648 ounces) for the quarter last year, along with fewer ounces being produced. As a result, revenue was $8.3 million lower. In addition, corporate administration increased by $0.5 million, largely due to the expensing of stock options and exploration expense increased by $2.2 million compared with the same period in 2003. Income tax expense was $1.9 million higher this quarter compared with last year. During 2003, a reduction to income tax expense of approximately $0.02 per share was recorded due to changes to the taxation of resource income under the Canadian Income Tax Act.
Cash flow from operations during the quarter was $11.9 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with $16.6 million, or $0.09 per share for the 2nd quarter 2003. Cash flow was lower largely as a result of more gold production being withheld from sale.
During the 2nd quarter, Goldcorp continued to generate some of the highest margins within the industry: 62% Gross Operating Margin and 23% Net Profit Margin. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) was 7%. On a bullion adjusted basis, the margins were even stronger: 63% Gross Operating, 28% Net Profit and ROIC of 13%.
Six Month Ended June 30, 2004
For the six months ending June 30, 2004, earnings were $26.5 million, or $0.14 per share, on revenues of $88.8 million, versus earnings of $31.8 million, or $0.17 per share on revenues of $96.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The reduction in earnings is the result of the Company holding back more gold ounces from sale. Year-to-date, 96,946 ounces were withheld from sale versus 25,525 ounces for the same period in 2003.
Operating cash flow for the period was $8.4 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with $2.3 million, or $0.01 per share, for the same period in 2003.
FINANCIAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Goldcorp is One of Canada's Top Performing Companies!
In Canadian Business Magazine's annual survey of Canada's Largest Public Companies at yearend 2003, Goldcorp ranked 7th for sales growth, 6th for profit growth and 10th for shareholder returns over the past 3 years ended December 31, 2003. This report was based on the 221 companies that comprise the S&P/TSX Composite Index.

Page 3 |
The Financial Post ranked the 800 largest public Canadian companies for 2003 and Goldcorp placed 2nd for five- year percentage profit growth and 7th for profit margins. Goldcorp continues to demonstrate that a producer of gold can achieve the same financial success as the leading, high-margin software and bio-medical companies!
GOLD HOLDINGS
Rebuilding Bullion Inventory
At June 30, 2004, Goldcorp's gold inventory had reached 3.7 tonnes, or 117,737 ounces. For the 2nd quarter 2004, 45,021 ounces were withheld from sale, which is equal to one-third of production versus 10% withheld in 2003. The Company plans to continue withholding a similar amount until yearend.
OPERATING RESULTS
2nd Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
Total gold production was 138,617 ounces at a cash cost of $116 per ounce sold, compared with 149,354 ounces at a cash cost of $100 per ounce sold during the same period in 2003.
The Red Lake Mine produced 116,800 ounces of gold during the quarter, at a cash cost of $85 per ounce sold, compared with 129,860 ounces at a cash cost of $73 per ounce sold during the 2nd quarter, 2003. The year over year decease in production was largely the result of a lower average grade of ore processed at the Red Lake Mine. The grade (concentration of gold) was 1.99 ounces of gold per ton (opt), or 68.2 grams per tonne (gpt), compared with a grade of 2.47 opt (84.7 gpt) processed during the 2nd quarter, 2003. The recovery rate of 91.2% was up compared with 87.8% during the corresponding period in 2003. The slight decrease in grade is due to the mining sequence; higher grades are expected to be mined in the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2004.
The cash cost for the 2nd quarter of $85 per ounce was $12 per ounce higher than the corresponding period in 2003. The increase was the result of the lower grade and increased production costs ($8 per ounce), a stronger Canadian dollar ($2 per ounce) and an increased percentage of concentrate ounces sold ($2 per ounce). Concentrate ounces require additional processing and as a result, are produced at a higher cost, which raises Red Lake's overall cash cost.
The Wharf Mine had a good quarter. It produced more gold at a lower cost: 21,817 ounces of gold during the quarter, at a cash cost of $245 per ounce sold, compared with 19,494 ounces at a cash cost of $282 per ounce sold during the 2nd quarter, 2003. The lower cash cost was the result of lower mining and processing costs.
Saskatchewan Minerals revenue, operating profit and cash flow decreased compared with the corresponding period in 2003 due to lower sales volumes and a stronger Canadian dollar.
Complete operating statistics for all operations are found starting on page 19 of Goldcorp's June 30, 2004 interim MD&A.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
Gold production for the six months ending June 30, 2004 was 297,944 ounces at a cash cost of $107 per ounce sold, compared with 283,097 ounces at a cash cost of $100 per ounce sold during the same period, 2003.
Goldcorp Inc. - 2004 Second Quarter Results |
Page 4 |
The Red Lake Mine, in the first half 2004, produced 257,028 ounces at a cash cost of $80 per ounce sold versus 247,199 ounces at a cash cost of $74 per ounce sold in 2003. The increase in cost on a per ounce basis is due to a stronger Canadian dollar and more gold production from higher cost concentrate (10,352 ounces versus 1,463 ounces in 2003). For the six months ending June 30, 2004, the average grade and recovery rate of ore processed at the mine was 2.26 opt (77.5 gpt) and 90.7% compared with an average grade and recovery rate of 2.27 opt (77.8 gpt) and 87.7% for the ore processed during the first six months in 2003.
The Wharf Mine produced 40,916 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $242 per ounce sold during the six months ending June 30, 2004 compared with 35,898 ounces at a cash cost of $280 per ounce sold during the same period, 2003. The lower cost is again the result of lower mining and processing costs.
RED LAKE MINE EXPANSION
The sinking of the new shaft continues to progress at the Red Lake Mine. Capital expenditures totalled $6 million in the first quarter, $11 million in the first half and are forecast to be $30 million for the year. Project to date, a total of $51 million has been expended and total remaining expenditures to complete the expansion are forecast to be $49 million (based on a CDN$:US$ exchange rate of 1.32). The shaft is currently (21/7/04) at a depth of 1,250 feet (ft) (381 metres (m)). The target depth of this shaft is 7,150 ft (2,179 m). We have also completed the 8 Level station in early July, which is the first level we have excavated in the new shaft. We have experienced some operational and equipment delays which have increased the time required to reach our target shaft sinking rates. We are revising our yearend 2004 target shaft depth to 2,500 ft. The project is still expected to be completed in late 2006 on budget.
RED LAKE MINE EXPLORATION
Year-to-date, the exploration program has proven to be significant because it shows new potential areas of high grade mineralization to the west and both above and below the current outline of the high grade reserves and resources.
Below are the highlights of the exploration update given at the June 16, 2004 Annual General Meeting:
Drilling within the reserve envelope confirmed the continuity and high grade nature of the High Grade Zone (HGZ) with hole 37L566 intersecting an impressive 7.76 opt (266.1 gpt) over 19.2 ft (5.85 m) at a vertical depth of 5,950 ft (1,810 m);
In addition, the deepest high grade mineralization encountered is hole 37L503AW which intersected 3.54 opt (121.4 gpt) over 2.0 ft (0.61m) at a vertical depth of 7,750 ft (2,360 m). This is significant as it indicates the HGZ continues below the current resource limit;
Exploration also encountered intercepts 800 ft west of the HGZ, grading at 1.04 opt (35.7 gpt) over 6.0 ft (1.83 m) at a vertical depth of 5,890 ft (1,795 m) and 0.87 opt (29.8 gpt) over 6.0 ft (1.83 m). Drilling 180 ft (55 m) above the HGZ returned an intersection of 6.55 opt (224.6 gpt) over 4.0 ft (1.22 m).
Further details of these results are contained in our June 16, 2004 press release, which can be referenced on our website located at www.goldcorp.com

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
The unaudited interim period consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP"). The preparation of financial data is based on accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, since they do not contain all disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the respective interim periods presented.
As described in Note 3(b) to the 2003 audited consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted the new CICA accounting standard on "Asset retirement obligations". The effect of this change was to decrease retained earnings at January 1, 2003 by $1,021,000. The effect on earnings, net of taxes, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 was a reduction of $203,000 and $406,000, respectively.
The Company also adopted effective January 1, 2003, the new accounting standard in respect of stock-based compensation as described in Note 3(a) to the audited consolidated financial statements. This had no effect on retained earnings at January 1, 2003, or earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Total stock option expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was $634,000 and $2,211,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the stock option expense of $2,211,000 is separated between a corporate administration expense component of $1,615,000 and an operating expense component of $596,000.
At June 30, 2004, the Company had 117,737 ounces of produced gold bullion, which is carried on the balance sheet at a production cost of $17,340,000. This represents an addition to inventory of 45,021 ounces during the quarter, and 96,946 ounces during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The market value of the Company's produced gold bullion on June 30, 2004, was $46,600,000.
The Company did not hold purchased gold bullion at anytime during 2004.

The Company recognizes a compensation expense for all stock options awarded since January 1, 2003, based on the fair value of the options on the date of grant which is determined by using an option pricing model. The fair value of the options is expensed over the vesting period of the options. No compensation expense has been recorded for stock options issued before January 1, 2003. No stock options have been issued during the six months of 2004.
The following is the Company's pro forma earnings with the fair value method applied to all options issued since January 1, 2002 (the Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions used are consistent with those described in Note 9(f) to the 2003 audited consolidated financial statements):

Interim Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the quarter ended June 30, 2004
Financial Results
(in millions of US dollars, except per share and per ounce amounts)
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") analyses the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 for Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp" or the "Company").
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 were $40.5 million, an $8.3 million decrease compared with the corresponding period last year. This reflects the sale of significantly fewer ounces as a result of an increase to the percentage of gold production held back from sale, partially offset by a 12% increase in realized gold prices. During the first quarter of 2004, Goldcorp increased the percentage of gold withheld from sale to approximately 33% of production and continued to withhold this amount during the second quarter. This compares with 3% held back during the first quarter of 2003 and 14% held back during the second quarter of 2003.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $88.8 million compared with $96.2 million during the first six months of 2003. Again, this reflects the net effects of an increase in the amount of gold withheld from sale, partially offset by an increase in the realized price of gold.
Goldcorp produced 138,617 ounces of gold bullion during the second quarter of 2004 and sold 93,596 ounces, compared with 149,354 ounces produced and 127,706 ounces sold for the corresponding period last year. The realized price during the second quarter of 2004 was $393 per ounce compared with $352 per ounce during the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Goldcorp produced 297,944 ounces and sold 200,998 ounces, compared with 283,097 ounces produced and 257,572 ounces sold during the first six months of 2003. The realized price for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $403 per ounce compared with $348 per ounce during the same period in 2003.
Earnings for the second quarter of 2004 were $9.2 million ($0.05 per share) compared to $17.6 million ($0.10 per share) for the second quarter of 2003 and $17.3 million ($0.09 per share) for the first quarter of 2004. Due primarily to the decision to sell fewer ounces, earnings for the second quarter of 2004 decreased by $8.4 million, or 48%, compared to the corresponding period last year. Included in the current quarter and six month results for 2004 are stock option expenses totalling $0.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Although Goldcorp adopted the policy of expensing stock options effective January 1, 2003, there was no corresponding stock option expense for the first or second quarter of 2003. Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $26.5 million, a $5.3 million reduction compared to 2003 attributable to the reduction in ounces sold and stock option expenses.
Earnings from operations for the quarter were $16.0 million compared to $24.1 million in the second quarter of 2003. Other factors affecting our operating results include a $2.2 million increase in exploration expense reflecting continued exploration efforts, partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in depreciation and depletion which reflects fewer ounces being sold. Consolidated cash cost per ounce has increased to $116 per ounce in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $100 per ounce in the same period in 2003. Non-cash costs have increased to $47 per ounce in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $37 per ounce for the same period in 2003.
Cash flow from operations for the second quarter of 2004 was $11.9 million compared to $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2003. The decrease is due to lower earnings and changes in non-cash working capital on a quarter over quarter basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, cash flow from operations was $8.4 million, an increase from $2.3 million for the same period in 2003. The improvement for the six month period arose
Goldcorp Inc. - 2004 Second Quarter Results |
Page 18 |
primarily due to reductions in the working capital movement attributable to tax payments during the first quarter of 2004 compared to 2003.
At the end of June 30, 2004, Goldcorp had treasury assets at a market value of $380.5 million, comprised of cash and short-term investments of $302.9 million, gold bullion of $46.6 million and marketable securities of $31.0 million.
Gold Bullion
Revenue from gold bullion production is recognized when ownership passes to the purchaser and, as a result, revenue is recorded when the gold is sold, not when it is produced. Unlike other gold producers, Goldcorp has strategically held back on the sale of gold bullion ounces in anticipation of higher prices. During the second quarter of 2004, 45,021 ounces, or 32% of production, were held back from sale, compared to 21,648 ounces, or 14% of production, held back during the same period in 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Goldcorp held back 96,946 ounces, or 33% of production, from sale compared to 25,525 ounces, or 9% of production, during the same period in 2003.
Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), unsold gold bullion is carried on the balance sheet at the lower of cost or market and revenue is not recognized until the ounces are sold. As a result, the financial statements do not reflect the market value of the accumulated gold bullion. To accurately reflect Goldcorp's operating performance and financial position certain non-GAAP information is presented reflecting the net realizable value of the accumulated gold bullion and the impact on operations as if the bullion was sold. This approach more accurately reflects the results of our operating activities.
These "bullion adjusted" figures are not measures of performance under Canadian or US GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. The bullion adjusted figures do not have standardized meaning nor are they necessarily comparable with other companies.

Impact of withholding current reporting period's production
Had Goldcorp sold the 45,021 ounces of gold bullion production held back during the second quarter of 2004, earnings would have increased from $9.2 million to $15.9 million (from $0.05 per share to $0.08 per share), while operating cash flow would have increased from $11.9 million to $24.6 million (from $0.06 per share to $0.13 per share). Comparatively, for the second quarter of 2003, reported earnings would have increased from $17.6 million to $20.2 million (from $0.10 per share to $0.11 per share) and operating cash flow would have improved from $16.6 million to $21.9 million (from $0.09 per share to $0.12 per share) had the Company sold the 21,648 ounces held back from production for the period. The bullion adjusted impact is greater in the current year as the proportion of gold bullion held back from sale has increased significantly compared to 2003.

During the second quarter, the Red Lake Mine produced 116,800 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $85 per ounce, compared with 129,860 ounces at a cash cost of $73 per ounce for the corresponding period last year. The higher cash cost for the period is primarily the result of lower head grades experienced. The lower average mill head grade of 1.99 ounces per ton ("opt"), or 56.4 grams per ton ("gpt"), compared to 2.47 opt, or 70.0 gpt, in the corresponding period in 2003, resulted in fewer production ounces over which costs were absorbed. Also affecting the reported cash cost is the strengthening of the Canadian dollar. During the second quarter of 2004, the average cost of CDN$1.00 was US$0.736, compared to US$0.715 during the corresponding period in the prior year. Partially offsetting the effects of the lower grade were increased recovery rates which have been greater than 90% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004. In total, the $12 per ounce increase in cash cost on a per ounce basis for the current quarter can be attributed as follows: $2 relates to the impact of the stronger Canadian dollar, $2 relates to the proportion of production derived from higher cost concentrate, and $8 relates to increased operating costs at the mine due primarily to lower grades. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, production has increased compared to the prior year as higher grades during the first quarter of 2004 compensated for the lower grades experienced in the current quarter. Increases in cash cost over for the six month period compared to the prior year are primarily due to the stronger Canadian dollar.

Red Lake Mine Concentrate
Gold not recovered through the processing facility at the Red Lake Mine is stockpiled in concentrate form, to be transported and processed by a third party at a subsequent date. Currently, Goldcorp ships concentrate for processing to Barrick's Goldstrike Mine in Nevada and Placer Dome's Campbell Mine, located adjacent to the Red Lake Mine. During the second quarter, 3,352 ounces of gold were recovered from concentrate at a cash cost of $159 per ounce (including both inventoried mining and milling costs, and transportation and secondary processing costs). Total concentrate ounces recovered for the six month period were 10,352 ounces at a cash cost of $140 per ounce.
Also recovered during the quarter were 1,066 ounces of gold from "Old Concentrate" at a cash cost of $227 per ounce (including transportation and secondary processing costs only). Old Concentrate refers to concentrate produced from the sulphide ore mined prior to the shutdown of the Mine in 1996. Ounces produced from Old Concentrate, and the associated cost per ounce, are not included in the Red Lake operating results. If the 1,066 ounces from Old Concentrate were included, second quarter production would have been 117,866 ounces, at a cash cost of $86 per ounce. For the six month period, 3,513 ounces of Old Concentrate were recovered at a cash cost of $254 per ounce.

Operating results at the Wharf Mine during 2004 have improved compared to the same period in 2003. Production of 21,817 ounces of gold during the second quarter of 2004 reflects a 12% increase over the 19,494 ounces of gold produced for the second quarter of 2003. Total cash cost for the second quarter of 2004 of $245 per ounce was $37 lower than the corresponding period last year reflecting lower mining and processing costs. Non-cash costs are $101 per ounce compared to $90 per ounce in the corresponding prior year period. This reflects the amortization of capitalized pre-stripping costs incurred to access the ore in the Mine's remaining pit

The lower operating expense for both the three and six month periods of 2004 largely reflects the decision to sell fewer ounces compared to the corresponding periods in 2003. On a per ounce basis, Goldcorp's consolidated cash cost for the second quarter of 2004 was $116 per ounce, compared with $100 per ounce for the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the cash costs were $107 per ounce compared to $100 per ounce in the prior year period. The cost attributable to each operation is described in the operational review above.
There was an increase in corporate administration expense for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, compared to the same periods in 2003, which is largely due to the effects of adopting the amended accounting recommendations of the CICA for stock-based compensation. Goldcorp applied the standard on a prospective basis to options issued subsequent to December 31, 2002; however, there was no stock option expense to report for the first or second quarter of 2003.
Depreciation and depletion expenses incurred for the second quarter of 2004 were $4.0 million, compared with $4.6 million for the corresponding period last year. For the six month period, depreciation and depletion declined by $1.0 million. The decrease during 2004 reflects the decrease in the number of ounces sold, partially offset by higher mining interest balances subject to amortization.

Total exploration expenditures (both expensed and capitalized) were $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2004, compared with $4.7 million in same period in 2003. Goldcorp expenses exploration expenditures up to the time it is established that a property has reserves which are economically recoverable and capitalizes exploration expenditures aimed at increasing reserves.

Interest and other income earned for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, increased by $0.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2003. The increase for the six month period compared to the prior year was $1.4 million. The increases are primarily attributable to interest earned on higher cash balances and a stronger Canadian dollar which has increased the amount of interest, in US dollar terms, earned on Canadian dollar denominated financial instruments.
The gain/loss on foreign currency is the result of the movement in the Cdn/US dollar rate of exchange on US dollar denominated monetary assets in the Company's Canadian operations. The gain on sale of marketable securities of $0.2 million reflects realized gains during the period on the disposal of certain holdings in the Company's marketable securities portfolio. The increase in the provision for decline in value of marketable securities in the current quarter of $2.5 million relates to unrealized adjustments to the lower of cost or market. This compares to a $2.9 million recorded for the same purpose during the second quarter of 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Treasury assets
Goldcorp's treasury assets, noted at market values, are listed below. With the exception of cash and short-term investments, these values differ from the GAAP valuation on the balance sheet which is at the lower of cost or market.

Cash and short-term investments decreased by $76.1 million, from $379.0 million at December 31, 2003, to $302.9 million at June 30, 2004. During the six month period, operating activities provided $8.4 million, while investing and financing activities used $41.5 million and $33.5 million, respectively. The movement in the

US/Canadian dollar exchange rate also had a negative impact on cash as explained below under "Effect of exchange rate changes on cash".
Goldcorp remains debt free and its gold production and reserves are totally unhedged. Goldcorp has no off balance sheet liabilities other than standard operating leases and letters of credit provided as support for reclamation obligations. Goldcorp has no defined benefit pension plans and accordingly, no associated unfunded pension liabilities.
Operating cash flow
Goldcorp's cash flow from operations was $11.9 million, or $0.06 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. This compares with a cash flow from operations of $16.6 million, or $0.09 per share for the corresponding quarter in 2003. The decrease in 2004 is primarily due to the increase in gold withheld from sale. This is reflected in the gold bullion inventory which is carried on the balance sheet at $17.3 million but has a market value at June 30, 2004 of $46.6 million.
Tax payments for the first six months of 2004 totalled approximately $37 million, of which, $14 million related to taxes payable on 2003 earnings. Components of the change in non-cash working capital are shown in Note 6 to the financial statements.

During the second quarter of 2004, expenditures on mining interests totalled $13.8 million, consisting of $12.3 million at the Red Lake Mine and $1.4 million at the Wharf Mine. The $12.3 million at the Red Lake Mine includes costs of approximately $6 million associated with the Red Lake Mine Expansion project. Exploration expenditures of $4.1 million made during the quarter to increase reserves at the Mine have been capitalized. The expenditures at the Wharf Mine relate to capitalized costs pertaining to pre-stripping at the Trojan Pit.
Goldcorp has a portfolio of marketable securities consisting largely of junior exploration and mining companies. During the quarter, a net investment of $11.6 million was made in marketable securities.
Financing activities
During the second quarter, the Company made three regularly scheduled monthly dividend payments of $0.015 per share for a total of $8.5 million. This compares to two bi-monthly dividend payments of $0.025 per share during the second quarter of 2003. Total dividends paid for the six months ended June 30, 2004, of $36.0 million also include the special dividend of $0.10 per share paid during the first quarter of 2004.

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash
A substantial portion of the Company's cash and short-term investments are held in Canadian dollars. As a result, the movement in the Cdn/US dollar exchange rate has an impact on the cash and short-term investments, in US dollar terms, as reported on the balance sheet. For example, a weakening Canadian dollar will have a negative impact on the Company's cash position. This impact is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows under the "Effect of exchange rate changes on cash". Between December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004, the Canadian dollar weakened vis-à-vis the US dollar, which had a negative impact of $9.5 million on the Company's cash position. During the corresponding period in 2003, the Canadian dollar strengthened, which had a positive impact on Goldcorp's cash position of $34.7 million.
Outlook
Goldcorp anticipates solid operating results during the balance of 2004. Total production for 2004 is forecast at approximately 595,000 ounces, compared with actual production of 602,845 ounces in 2003. Consolidated cash cost is expected to be $109 per ounce and non-cash cost is expected to be $43 per ounce for total costs of $152 per ounce. This compares with $100 cash cost per ounce, $37 non-cash cost per ounce and total costs of $137 per ounce for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The Red Lake Mine is planning to produce approximately 525,000 ounces of gold in 2004, which includes 51,000 ounces of gold produced from concentrate. Cash costs are forecast to be $86 per ounce ($80 in 2003) while total costs are expected to be approximately $120 per ounce, compared with $111 in 2003. The Wharf Mine is forecast to produce in excess of 70,000 ounces of gold in 2004, compared with 70,817 ounces in 2003. Cash costs are forecast to be approximately $250 per ounce and represent a reduction of $26 per ounce over 2003.
Work continues on the project to expand the Red Lake Mine by sinking a new shaft to a depth of 7,150 feet with a capacity of 4,000 tons per day and expanding the mill capacity to 1,000 tons per day. The sinking of the shaft is expected to be completed during the second half of 2006.
Non-GAAP Measures
Goldcorp has included throughout this document certain non-GAAP performance measures. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning nor are they necessarily comparable with similar measures presented by other companies. Goldcorp believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Set out below are definitions for these performance measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to reported GAAP measures.
Cash Flow from Operations per Common Share
Cash flow from operations per common share is determined by dividing cash flow from operations by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The following table sets forth the computation of both the basic and diluted cash flow from operations per common share for the three and six months ended June 30:

Financial Ratios
Gross Operating Margin is defined as gross operating profit for the period, which is profit after deducting from revenue operating expenses, divided by revenue for the period.
Net Profit Margin is calculated by dividing earnings for the period by revenue for the period.
Return on Invested Capital is defined as earnings for the period divided by the total of the average of debt and equity for the period. Because the Company is debt free, Goldcorp's calculation of Return on Invested Capital is earnings divided by the average equity during the period.
