Goldcorp Achieves Record Operating Cash Flow In Second Quarter

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, July 28, 2010 � GOLDCORP INC. (TSX: G, NYSE: GG) today reported increased gold production of 609,500 ounces for the second quarter which combined with higher realized gold prices to drive record operating cash flow of $382.6 million.  Reported net earnings attributable to shareholders of Goldcorp in the quarter were $828.3 million compared to a net loss of $231.6 million in the second quarter of 2009.  Adjusted net earnings1 were $198.8 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to $99.2 million, or $0.14 per share, in the second quarter of 2009.

Quarter Highlights

• Revenues increased 34% over the 2009 second quarter, to $844.3 million on gold sales of 598,000ounces. 
• Total cash costs2 for the quarter were $363 per ounce on a by-product basis and $448 per ounce on a co-product basis.
• Operating cash flows totalled $382.6 million.
• Second processing line at Pe�asquito achieved mechanical completion in June, ahead of schedule.
• Dividends paid amounted to $33.0 million.
• Sale of Escobal to Tahoe Resources Inc. unlocks balance sheet value.
• Agreement to sell San Dimas to Mala Noche Resources Corp. to further simplify asset portfolio.

�Our strong financial results in the second quarter demonstrate Goldcorp�s continued progression toward a period of sustained cash flow expansion,� said Chuck Jeannes, Goldcorp President and Chief Executive Officer.  �We saw growth in all key financial metrics as increased gold sales and higher realized gold prices generated higher revenues, record cash flow and higher net earnings. Our low cost structure led to record margins3 of $845 per ounce of gold sold in the quarter, providing shareholders maximum exposure to gold.  Operationally, Marlin and Los Filos led the way in the quarter, continuing their maturation into consistent contributors to Goldcorp�s overall performance.  Red Lake is executing on its plan to utilize excess milling capacity and remains on track for a strong production year, while successful drilling of the High Grade zone and development of the adjacent Cochenour deposit position the camp for long-term success.  At Pe�asquito, both processing lines are now operating and the mine remains on track toward commercial production in the third quarter and completion of construction by year-end.

�In addition to the operational and developmental achievements in the first half of the year, we have announced or completed transactions totaling in excess of $2.0 billion since late 2009 that have strengthened the overall asset portfolio through the addition of high quality growth projects like El Morro in Chile and Camino Rojo near Pe�asquito, and the divestiture of non-core assets such as the Escobal silver deposit, the San Dimas gold-silver mine and our interest in the Mt. Milligan copper-gold project.  We are proud of our track record of unlocking value within the asset portfolio and redeploying the capital into core projects enabling us to fund our peer-leading growth profile without shareholder dilution.�

Financial Review

Gold sales in the second quarter were 598,000 ounces on production of 609,500 ounces.  This compares to sales of 564,800 ounces on production of 582,400 ounces in the second quarter of 2009.  Foreign exchange impacts, and the inclusion of the Alumbrera export retention tax and higher YMAD net proceed payments contributed to total cash costs of $363 per ounce of gold on a by-product basis.  On a co-product basis, cash costs were $448 per ounce, among the lowest in the industry.

Adjusted net earnings in the second quarter totaled $198.8 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to $99.2 million or $0.14 per share, in the second quarter of 2009.  Adjusted net earnings primarily exclude the effect of a non-cash foreign exchange gain on translation of future income tax liabilities and the net gain on dispositions of mining interests including Escobal, but include the impact of non-cash stock option expenses, which amounted to approximately $15.2 million or $0.02 per share for the quarter.  Reported net earnings attributable to shareholders of Goldcorp in the quarter were $828.3 million compared to a net loss of $231.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. Operating cash flows were a record $382.6 million compared to $263.6 million in last year�s second quarter.  Gold margin was a record $845 per ounce of gold sold.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenues increased by 27% to $1,594.6 million.  On a by-product basis, total cash costs were $344 per ounce compared to a total cash cost of $299 per ounce in 2009.  Total cash costs on a co-product basis were $439 per ounce year to date versus $377 per ounce in the 2009 period.

For the first six months of the year, adjusted net earnings totaled $361.9 million, or $0.49 per share, compared to $264.9 million or $0.36 per share, in 2009.  Adjusted net earnings primarily exclude the effect of a non-cash foreign exchange loss on translation of future income tax liabilities and the net gain on dispositions of mining interests. Adjusted net earnings in 2009 primarily exclude the effect of a non-cash foreign exchange loss on translation of future income tax liabilities. Net earnings attributable to shareholders of Goldcorp in the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $776.0 million or $1.06 per share, compared to net earnings of $59.3 million or $0.08 per share.  Cash flow from operations increased 24% to $697.0 million from $561.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Cornerstone Mines Drive Performance

Gold production at Red Lake increased 26% versus the year-ago period, to 159,000 ounces due to higher tonnage and grade.  The higher tonnage is consistent with Red Lake�s �Fill-the-Mills� strategy which aims to mine additional material in the lower grade sulphide zones to utilize excess mill capacity. While lower grade material successfully increased mill throughput, higher grade ore from the High Grade zone (HGZ) drove an overall grade increase at Red Lake.   During the second quarter the connection drift at the 45 level between the Campbell and Red Lake complexes was completed.  An extension of the 4199, the first operational connection between the two mines is expected to result in operating efficiencies from sharing of mining resources and enhancements in ventilation throughout the mine.  The drift has also provided  additional exploration sites for HGZ exploration. Diamond drilling to extend HGZ down-dip below the 49 level continued with positive results. 

Los Filos continued its 2010 growth trend with a 41% increase in gold production versus the year-ago period, to a record of 82,600 ounces.  Higher grades at Los Filos were driven by processing of higher grade ore from the underground operation which, in conjunction with the +1 g/t material from the Los Filos pit, was fed to the recently commissioned crushing and agglomeration plant.  With a design throughput of 11,000 t/d, the plant capacity is increasing as expected.  Exploration drilling at Los Filos continues to successfully extend the Bermejal pit to the north and to enhance the continuity of the Los Filos ore body towards the 4P area. 

At Marlin in Guatemala, second quarter gold and silver production were 13% and 62% higher respectively versus the year-ago period due to higher recoveries and higher grades.    Gold production was 71,500 ounces at a record low total cash cost of $48 per ounce.  Silver production was 1,437,700 ounces driven by all-time high silver recoveries of 85%.  Operations at Marlin continue as the Company awaits the initiation of an administrative procedure which the Guatemalan government agreed to undertake in response to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights� (IACHR) granting of precautionary measures which included a recommendation to suspend operations at Marlin.  Goldcorp strongly believes the Commission�s action is based on environmental allegations that are demonstrably without merit.   The Government of Guatemala stated in its response to the Commission that studies conducted by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and Ministry of Energy and Mines show that there is no pollution and that community water supplies are fit for human consumption. The Government also reported that an assessment by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare did not find any disease linked to suspected contamination produced by the Marlin Mine. Goldcorp will continue to cooperate with the Government of Guatemala to ensure that the extensive environmental and human health data demonstrating that Marlin is not contaminating the environment or harming human health are presented to the Commission.

At Porcupine, gold production during the second quarter was 67,000 ounces as preparatory work continued for the Hoyle Pond deep project.  The project is being advanced in order to access newly-discovered zones of gold mineralization and to enhance operational flexibility and efficiencies throughout the Hoyle Pond underground complex.   The planned capital investments of approximately $150 million will be incurred over the next four years.

Also in Ontario, gold production at Musselwhite was 59,400 ounces.  Exploration drilling to extend the PQ Deeps underground operation northward beyond the 2009 resource has resulted in the discovery of a new gold zone located above the PQ Deeps C Block.  Drilling of this new zone will remain a focus of exploration activities in the remainder of 2010.

Pe�asquito Production Ramping Up

On June 14, 2010, the second sulphide processing line (Line 2) at Pe�asquito achieved mechanical completion ahead of its previously expected completion date.  The second full quarter of operational production at Pe�asquito continued to meet or exceed expectations in key production metrics including concentrate grade, quality, mining rates and mill throughput.  Gold production totaled 39,100 ounces, consisting of 17,000 ounces from sulphide ore and 22,100 ounces from heap leaching of the oxide ore cap.  With the successful commissioning of Line 2, gold production is expected to ramp up throughout 2010, on track toward previously issued guidance of 180,000 ounces as the proportion of higher quality sulphide ore increases. Silver production totaled 3,198,800 ounces, including 802,800 ounces from the oxide heap leach.  Lead and zinc production totaled 22.2 million pounds and 34.5 million pounds respectively in the second quarter. 

With the mechanical completion of Line 2, the declaration of commercial production remains on track for the third quarter. Most of the components for the high pressure grinding roll (HPGR) circuit are on site with mechanical completion expected during the fourth quarter.  Following a ramp-up period, Pe�asquito is expected to reach its full processing capacity of 130,000 tonnes per day in early 2011.

Development continued at Noche Buena and Camino Rojo, two advanced stage satellite exploration projects near Pe�asquito.  In-fill drilling at Noche Buena continues to deliver positive results, with an internal feasibility study on track for completion by year-end.  At the Camino Rojo project, data analysis and geophysical work continued ahead of progress toward securing required drilling permits. 

Project Pipeline Accelerates

Construction of Pueblo Viejo in the Dominican Republic continues on schedule, with first gold production expected in the fourth quarter of 2011.  At the end of the second quarter of 2010, overall construction was more than 25% complete, approximately 70% of the capital had been committed and engineering and procurement by major EPCM contractors were 95% complete. Approximately 92,000 cubic meters of concrete, representing 60% of the total, have been poured and 5,000 tonnes of steel, representing approximately 30% of the total, have been erected. Two of the four autoclaves are in the country and one is expected to arrive on site imminently, and all four mills have been installed on their footings. Work continues toward achieving key milestones including the connection of power to the site, which is necessary to commence commissioning activities in the second half of 2011.

At Cochenour near Red Lake exploration drilling continued at the historic underground workings at the 2050� Level to test the GAP zone and the upper portions of the Bruce Channel and Cochenour deposits.  Construction progressed to an overall completion level of 12% on the 5-kilometer high speed haulage drift that will connect the Cochenour shaft with the Red Lake mine.  A 1450 meter deep diamond drill shaft pilot-hole was completed to evaluate the potential for deepening the Cochenour shaft.  For planning purposes, the Company has estimated the Cochenour project as a mineable deposit of 5 million gold ounces and expects to report an initial gold resource at the end of 2010.

At �l�onore in Quebec, construction of the collar, hoist and associated surface facilities for the 725 meter deep exploration shaft continued during the second quarter with completion expected during the third quarter of 2012.  Exploration drilling has focused on identifying and defining new ore zones within the hanging wall stratigraphy close to the exploration shaft.  During the remainder of 2010, exploration will also focus on identifying new drill targets on the �l�onore concession outside of the main Roberto ore body.  Work progressed on updating the pre-feasibility study, which will facilitate a construction decision on the project by year-end. 

Outlook

Looking ahead to the second half of 2010, production is expected to increase in the third and fourth quarters in line with previously issued production and cost guidance. The Company expects to produce 2.55 million ounces of gold at total cash costs of approximately $350 on a by-product basis and $450 on a co-product basis, taking into account the sale of the San Dimas mine to Mala Noche Resources Corp. which is expected to close on or around July 30, 2010.

Corporate Responsibility, Safety & Health

HRA Response

During the second quarter, Goldcorp presented its initial response to the independent human rights assessment (HRA).  In keeping with its commitment to operating with complete transparency and accountability, Goldcorp is the first company in the mining industry to make the results of such an assessment public.   The Company believes that implementing the recommendations in the HRA will enable the Marlin mine to be an even greater influence for positive economic and social growth in Guatemala and for the continued professional and personal advancement of Marlin's nearly 2,000 Guatemalan employees.  In addition, making respect for human rights an explicit component of Goldcorp's business process is essential to achieve the Company�s commitment to contribute to the sustainable prosperity of the communities where it operates.
