	    Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

	    This press release contains "forward-looking statements", within the
meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
and applicable Canadian securities legislation, concerning the business,
operations and financial performance and condition of Goldcorp.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with
respect to the future price of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, the
estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral
reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs
of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of

hedging practices, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for
additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental
risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, timing and possible outcome of
pending litigation, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance
coverage. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the
use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not
expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts",
"intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or
variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or
results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be
achieved". Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of
activity, performance or achievements of Goldcorp to be materially different
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including
but not limited to: risks related to the integration of acquisitions; risks
related to international operations; risks related to joint venture
operations; 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; future prices
of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc; possible variations in ore reserves,
grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate
as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining
industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the
completion of development or construction activities, as well as those factors
discussed in the section entitled "Description of the Business - Risk Factors"
in Goldcorp's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2009,
available on www.sedar.com, and Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2009
on file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in
Washington, D.C. 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
to be as 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.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Goldcorp does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statements that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance
with applicable securities laws.
