Goldcorp Reports Third Quarter Earnings

November 9, 2007

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, November 9, 2007 - GOLDCORP INC. (TSX: G, NYSE: GG) today reported adjusted net earnings of $82.3 million¹ , or $0.12 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.   

Third Quarter 2007 Highlights:

• Gold production increases 28% to 556,200 ounces²
• Gold sales increase 29% to 537,200 ounces²
• Realized gold price of $685 per ounce
• Total cash costs of $140 per gold ounce^2,3 , net of by-product credits
• Strong margin growth to $545 per gold ounce on a by-product basis
• Net earnings of $75.8 million or $0.10 per share
• Operating cash flow of $208.6 million (before working capital adjustments)⁴
• Dividends of $31.7 million paid during the quarter
• Agreement to acquire 100% ownership of key Canadian gold mines
• Reaffirms 2007 production guidance of 2.2 to 2.3 million ounces of gold at a total cash cost of $150 per ounce

"During the third quarter, Goldcorp grew gold production at much lower cash costs than industry averages," said Kevin McArthur, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldcorp.  "We enjoy the best gross margin in the senior space, enabling shareholders to participate fully in the continued strong market for gold.  Maintaining this margin advantage and growing production by over 50% in the next few years remains our primary focus. 

"Our operational and corporate initiatives are bearing fruit in this year of consolidation and transition. We have demonstrated quarter-over-quarter improvements, although these were somewhat diluted in the third quarter by storm-related power outages at Red Lake and a late concentrate shipment at Alumbrera. These effects are not expected in the fourth quarter and beyond.  In fact, planned completion of the Red Lake expansion and the start-up at commercial operations at Los Filos in Mexico will lay the groundwork for a strong 2008."

Financial Review

Gold sales in the third quarter increased to 537,200 ounces at a total cash cost of $140 per ounce, compared with 421,400 ounces at a total cash cost of $84 per ounce in 2006.  On a co-product basis, total cash costs were $299 per ounce compared to $272 per ounce in 2006.  On both a by-product and co-product basis, Goldcorp remains the lowest cost, highest margin senior gold producer in the industry.  The average realized price per ounce of gold sold increased to $685 compared to $620 per ounce in the third quarter of 2006. 

Adjusted net earnings totalled $82.3 million, or $0.12 per share.  At the 37.5%-owned Alumbrera mine, both gold and copper sales were significantly lower than production due to a concentrate shipment being delayed until the second week of October.  The Company estimates that the delay reduced third quarter earnings by $0.03 per share.  Operating cash flow before non-cash working capital adjustments was $208.6 million compared to $171.9 million in last year's third quarter as higher production and realized metals prices more than offset increases in production costs.    Net earnings in the quarter were $75.8 million, prior to adjustments, compared to net earnings of $59.5 million in the third quarter of 2006.

On September 25, 2007, Goldcorp entered into an agreement with Kinross Gold Corporation to acquire Kinross' 49% share of the Porcupine gold mine and its 32% share of the Musselwhite gold mine, both in Ontario, in exchange for Goldcorp's 50% interest in the La Coipa silver-gold mine in Chile and $200 million in cash. The transaction highlights Goldcorp's continuing commitment to simplify its business and to focus on long-lived gold assets within the Company's core operating districts. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2007. La Coipa results have been reclassified as discontinued operations, except for certain operational statistics and other information, where noted.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, gold sales increased to 1,614,900 ounces at a total cash cost of $151 per ounce, compared with 1,108,500 ounces at a total cash cost of negative $35 per ounce in 2006.  Adjusted for certain non-cash items, net earnings amounted to $260.5 million, or $0.37 per share. Gold production in the nine month period increased 50% to 1,653,700 ounces in 2007 compared with 1,105,400 ounces in the 2006 period.

Operations Review

Canada

Cash costs at Goldcorp's Canadian mines and projects were impacted by the strengthening Canadian dollar and higher consumables and maintenance costs during the third quarter. Compared to the second quarter of 2007, the increased value of the Canadian dollar impacted cash costs by $13 per ounce at Red Lake, $24 per ounce at Musselwhite and $26 per ounce at Porcupine. The Canadian mines contributed approximately 45% of Goldcorp's quarterly gold production.

Third quarter gold production at Red Lake mine increased 4% to 163,400 ounces compared to the 2006 quarter.  An 11% increase in ore grade was partially offset by a 7% throughput reduction brought on by storm-related power outages.  Upgrades to the ventilation system remain in progress that will remove current constraints on production.  Early in the fourth quarter, raise bore work was completed on what is the largest continuous air shaft in North America.  Reaching the surface from a depth of over 2,200 feet and measuring over 18 feet in diameter, the raise will enable a threefold increase in ventilation capacity. The entire Red Lake expansion project is slated for completion in the second quarter of 2008. 

Goldcorp's current 68% share of gold production at Musselwhite totalled 39,800 ounces at a cash cost of $490 per ounce.  Investments to replace aging mine equipment continued during the quarter, with upgrades expected to enhance productivity and efficiencies. 

At Porcupine, Goldcorp's current 51% share of gold production totalled 36,800 ounces at a cash cost of $483 per ounce.  Throughput at Porcupine was affected by a multi-week planned mill shutdown for upgrades and maintenance. The September 25 agreement that will result in full ownership of Musselwhite and Porcupine mines in Ontario is expected to close in the fourth quarter.  

Mexico

The El Sauzal mine in Chihuahua state continued to anchor Goldcorp's growing production profile in Mexico, producing 77,600 ounces of gold in the quarter at a cash cost of $117 per ounce.  San Dimas mine contributed an additional 44,400 ounces of gold production at a cash cost of $255 per ounce. The 25% increase in production at San Dimas from the prior quarter was driven by higher feed grade to the mill.  Goldcorp's newest mine, Los Filos in Guerrero state, produced over 13,000 ounces of gold, the proceeds of which went to offset construction costs as the mine approaches commercial production, expected by the end of 2007. 

Los Filos, comprised of two pits-Los Filos and El Bermejal, is expected to be the largest gold mine in Mexico in 2008.  Ore is being mined from the two pits at a rate of 50,000 tonnes per day. Ore placement at the run-of-mine heap leach pad is now averaging in excess of 1,000  gold ounces per day, and ramp-up of gold production is proceeding as expected.  Difficulties with an ore chute installation at Los Filos have delayed implementation of the crushing/stacking circuit, and the Company is evaluating options, including the possibility of moving to 100% run-of-mine operations.  

Central and South America

Goldcorp's 37.5% share of third quarter gold and copper production at Alumbrera mine in Argentina increased to 66,000 ounces and 40.8 million pounds respectively. Cash costs net of by-product copper sales revenue were negative $1,057 per ounce.  As mentioned above, gold and copper sales were significantly lower than production in the quarter due to the delay of a concentrate shipment to the second week in October.  Consequently, earnings resulting from this shipment have been delayed and will be booked in the fourth quarter.

The Marlin mine in Guatemala continued to demonstrate strong sequential improvement in its second year, with production increasing to 58,700 ounces of gold at total cash costs of $176 per ounce.  Ore production from underground mining continued to ramp up, averaging over 1,100 tonnes per day.  Construction of an additional leach tank designed to enhance silver recoveries is expected to come on line by the end of the fourth quarter. 

Development Projects

Pe�asquito

Construction and development activity at Goldcorp's largest project remained on schedule during the third quarter.  Topsoil removal and pre-stripping activities commenced on the initial bench of the Pe�asco pit.  A 120 tonne bulk sample was extracted from a 600 meter decline beneath the Pe�asco outcrop, and a pilot plant run on the sample is now underway.  The Pabellon-Salaverna road, which provides new and improved access for equipment and materials deliveries, was opened to the public in September.  All towers and cable for the 400 kV power line have been installed, and the line is expected to be energized early in 2008.  The tenth water well in the Cedros Basin was completed, contributing to an excellent supply of water for the project. 

Construction of the crusher installations, oxide conveyor, leach pad, Merrill Crowe facility and mill foundation are on schedule. The Company expects to produce the first gold ounces from heap leaching of oxides in 2008 and mill start-up in 2009.

Feasibility work continues on an option to increase mill throughput at Pe�asquito from 100,000 tonnes per day under the current feasibility study to 130,000 tonnes per day.  The Company expects to provide further details in December, 2007.

�l�onore

Development and exploration progress at �l�onore continued, with four drill rigs in operation, �l�onore is located in a relatively unexplored area in Qu�bec in what Goldcorp believes to be the core of one of the world's most important new gold districts.

Four drill rigs remain active at �l�onore. Two rigs are drilling in the Roberto zone, a third is drilling under the south area and the fourth is drilling the north high grade shear zone extension. In-fill drilling of the Roberto zone continues in order to grow the NI 43-101 resource within the well-defined mineralized shell.  The Roberto Zone remains open along strike and at depth.  The recent discovery of a high grade shear zone, extending north of Roberto is expected to contribute significantly to future resource estimates, and the impact of this new discovery is being worked into feasibility planning efforts.

Construction of the air strip and access road is scheduled to begin in 2008.  Permitting and pre-feasibility work are ongoing, with a full feasibility study expected by the end of 2008.

Pueblo Viejo

Goldcorp's 40% share of the Pueblo Viejo gold deposit in the Dominican Republic amounts to 7.2 million ounces of gold.  Barrick, the 60% owner and operator of the project, continued to make progress toward an updated feasibility study to determine potential development of the deposit. Discussions with the Dominican government continue on its relocation action plan as well as power and water treatment solutions. Discussions are ongoing with third parties for the supply of reliable, efficient power.  Work on the process flow sheet to recover zinc contained within the gold reserves is returning encouraging results and will be included in an updated feasibility study which envisages an initial 18,000 tpd operation.

Exploration

The Company advanced exploration efforts at its mines and projects with a majority of third quarter expenditures coming at the Pe�asquito and �l�onore projects. Steady progress has been made in exploration programs throughout the year, including at Pe�asquito, �l�onore, Red Lake, Musselwhite and Porcupine, and the Company will provide an update of these activities in early December. Based on overall success to date, it is expected that Goldcorp will more than replace proven and probable reserves mined throughout the year.

Sustainability

In September, Marigold, Dee and Daisy mines received the 2007 Governor's Excellence in Mining Reclamation award from the Nevada Division of Minerals. This prestigious award recognizes the innovative reclamation and closure efforts underway at all three mines. In October, El Sauzal and San Dimas mines received Silver Helmet awards from the Mexican Mining Chamber-two of only four such awards given out in Mexico this year. The Silver Helmet is the highest award for safety given by the Mexican Mining Chamber. in Mexico for their outstanding safety records.  These awards and recognitions serve to underscore Goldcorp's commitment to responsible operations.
