Sale of Amapari Mine Completed and Construction Resumes at Goldcorp's Los Filos Mine
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, April 4, 2007 - GOLDCORP INC.
announced today that it has completed the previously announced sale of its Amapari mine in Brazil to Peak Gold Ltd. for 155,000,000 Peak Gold common shares, representing approximately 22% of the outstanding shares of Peak Gold. Goldcorp does not have any present intention to acquire ownership of, or control over, additional securities of Peak Gold. It is the intention of Goldcorp to evaluate its investment in Peak Gold on a continuing basis and such holdings may be increased or decreased in the future.
The previously announced sale of Goldcorp's Peak mine in Australia for $200,000,000 in cash is anticipated to take place following receipt of approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board in Australia. The purchase price for the Peak mine is being held in escrow pending completion of the sale. It is expected that such approval will be obtained within 30 days.
Goldcorp is also pleased to report construction at its Los Filos mine in Guerrero, Mexico has resumed after a road block was lifted that was obstructing the mine's main access road.
The roadblock had been carried out by certain communities and landowner groups requesting renegotiation of existing land purchase and rental agreements. A new agreement is in place, and the Company is re-mobilizing construction contractors and the work force in charge of commissioning the mine. The Company expects the first production of gold from Los Filos during the second quarter of 2007.
Goldcorp is one of the world's lowest-cost and fastest growing multi-million ounce gold producers with operations throughout the Americas.
