      Gold Wheaton Signs Definitive Agreement With First Uranium
      Corporation
=======================================================================

Vancouver, British Columbia: November 28, 2008 - Gold Wheaton Gold
Corp. (TSX-V: GLW) ("GWC") is pleased to announce that Gold Wheaton
(Barbados) Corporation ("Gold Wheaton"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
GWC, has signed a definitive agreement with First Uranium Corporation
(TSX:FIU, JSE:FUM) ("First Uranium") further to the letter of intent
which was previously announced by GWC on November 4, 2008.  Gold
Wheaton will purchase a minimum of 20,000 ounces of gold in 2009 (up to
a maximum of 25 percent of the gold production) and thereafter 25
percent of the life-of-mine gold production from First Uranium's Mine
Waste Solutions tailings recovery operation ("MWS") in South Africa.

First Uranium will submit applications for approval of the transaction
to the South African Reserve Bank and the South African Revenue
Service.  Upon satisfaction of certain escrow deposit conditions, Gold
Wheaton shall pay US$50 million (the "First Payment") into escrow, with
the escrow to be released upon the satisfaction of certain closing
conditions including registration of a notarial bond on certain of the
MWS tailings dams and a pledge of 25 percent of the gold produced from
MWS.

Under the terms of the transaction, in addition to the First Payment,
Gold Wheaton shall pay First Uranium:

- subject to financing, US$75 million on or before three months
following closing (the "Second Payment"), failing which the purchase
shall be reduced to 10 percent of the life-of-mine gold production
and appropriate credits will be made; and

- an ongoing payment equal to the lesser of US$400 per ounce and the
prevailing spot price (subject to an annual inflation adjustment of
1 percent, starting in the fourth year after the First Payment).


Gold Wheaton will not be required to contribute to any capital or
exploration expenditures in respect of First Uranium's tailings
recovery operation.  Gold Wheaton will be provided with a right of
first refusal on any future gold stream agreements or similar
arrangements proposed to be entered into by First Uranium or its
subsidiaries in respect of the MWS project or the Ezulwini mine.
 
"We are pleased to move forward with First Uranium on this transaction
and cement a long term relationship." commented David Cohen, Chairman
and CEO of Gold Wheaton. "In addition to their current production, they
have made substantial positive progress on the phase 2 expansion
project and remain on track for the planned commissioning in the second
quarter of 2009."

Closing of the transaction is expected to occur on or before December
12, 2008.
