     GOLDCORP DONATES $10 MILLION TO SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY ARTS CENTRE IN
     VANCOUVER

     VANCOUVER, Sept. 23 /CNW/ - Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp") (NYSE:GG, TSX:G)
today announced a $10 million donation to the Simon Fraser University downtown
campus. The gift will help Simon Fraser University contribute to the social,
economic and cultural revitalization of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. To
acknowledge the gift, the university's new arts complex in the Woodward's
redevelopment will be named the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts.
     Five million dollars will support the university's capital campaign and
ensure that state-of-the-art teaching and performance facilities are available
for student, community and professional arts groups. The other $5 million will
be placed in the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts Community Endowment to support
programs aimed at community engagement in the Downtown Eastside community.
     "Goldcorp is committed to making a positive difference here in Vancouver
as well as those communities where we operate our mines," said Goldcorp
President and Chief Executive Officer, Chuck Jeannes. "Vancouver's Downtown
Eastside has become one of Canada's most depressed neighbourhoods, and we are
optimistic that by working with Simon Fraser University, we will be able to
reach out to its businesses and residents to help create a more sustainable
future."
     SFU president Andrew Petter is enthusiastic about the opportunities that
the Goldcorp endowment will provide for the university to strengthen its ties
with the community. "This gift will ensure that our Contemporary Arts program
is not just located in the Downtown Eastside, but also is a vital and
contributing member of the neighbourhood. It will enable us to offer new
programs that are specially tailored to the needs of the local community."
     The Goldcorp Centre for the Arts is the latest addition to SFU's vibrant
downtown campus and home to SFU Contemporary Arts. It will serve as a centre
for creative discovery, dialogue and collaboration in a broad range of
artistic disciplines and will exemplify SFU's commitment to benefitting the
communities it serves by delivering programs that are student centred,
research driven and community engaged.
