Goldcorp Inc. - 1999 Third Quarter Results                               Page 2
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OVERVIEW

Goldcorp is well positioned relative to the gold mining industry for several
important reasons;

     ONE, Goldcorp is UNHEDGED. This means it has not sold its gold production
     at a predetermined price for future delivery. Therefore it has the ability
     to participate fully and profitability should the price of gold increase;

     TWO, Financially, Goldcorp has a great deal of flexibility, because it has
     POSITIVE CASH FLOW AND EARNINGS AND NO DEBT; and

     THREE, Goldcorp's RED LAKE MINE is scheduled to start commercial production
     in November 2000. This high-grade gold mine will provide the company with
     the distinct advantage of owning a mine that produces gold at one of the
     lowest cost in the world, $88 per ounce. This mine will provide strong
     protection in the event of lower gold prices;

At September 30, 1999 Goldcorp has working capital of $51.8 million. This
balance is sufficient to finance the development of the Red Lake Mine to the end
of the first quarter 2000. Goldcorp is presently negotiating to secure
additional financing to complete the development of Red Lake and augment its
working capital. The amount sought is $35 million. The preferred route of
financing is debt and/or an asset sale.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
GOLD MINING

RED LAKE MINE - PREPARING FOR PRODUCTION

The mine site is very active today. Over 120 persons, working for various
contractors, are presently living on site. The construction and development of
the high grade zone at the Red Lake Mine is proceeding on schedule and on
budget. Approximately 30% of the capital budget has been spent. The design of
the processing plant is essentially complete with several changes incorporated
to facilitate increased production capacity. The majority of the underground
infrastructure upgrades will be finished by year-end. Key development milestones
completed are:

ON SURFACE

- -    the mill building is enclosed enabling the remainder of the construction to
     be completed inside;

- -    the tailings area work is finished;

- -    the administration and warehouse buildings are complete with work
     continuing on inside finishes;

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UNDERGROUND

- -    the hoist automation and fibreoptic cable installation projects have
     started;

- -    the 34 level infrastructure work has completed the ventilation raise, the
     waste pass and pipe work. The maintenance shop, the ore pass and the fuel
     bay are near completion. This work will allow mechanized development on
     this level in the new year;

- -    the main ramp has been developed from 30 level to 180 feet below 31 level;

- -    the backfill engineering has commenced.

LABOUR ISSUES

The unionized portion of Goldcorp's Red Lake Mine employees voted to go out on
strike 41 months ago. Clearly this situation is different from most. Normally,
when a strike is resolved, the employees return to work. That is not going to
happen here. Because the economics of the gold market has already forced the
closure and dismantling of the "old" Red Lake Mine. Jobs for the strikers will
only be available late next year when the "new" mine construction has been
completed and production starts. Thus, for some strikers there may be little
incentive to resolve the strike and stop receiving their tax free strike pay.

Given there are no jobs until next year and there will be fewer, Goldcorp made
an offer recently, that included a generous severance payment designed to
increase these employees financial flexibility and time to make critical career
decisions. This was the third offer made by the company during the strike. The
union has never provided a comprehensive counter offer, and does not give any
appearance of making any soon.

Production will start in late 2000. Our options for production labour are; one,
resolve the strike and use our employees; or two, employ contractors. Since, the
process of selecting a contractor is extended, we need to start that tendering
process soon.

Goldcorp remains hopeful that a resolution of the strike will be reached and is
prepared to work hard to achieve that end.

INDUSTRIAL MINERALS - HAVELOCK LIME AND SASKATCHEWAN MINERALS

Havelock Lime has continued to enjoy strong sales and operating profits during
the third quarter, and are ahead of budget. This trend is expected to continue
through year end.

Saskatchewan Minerals is in line with budget, but well below its performance in
1998. Increasing natural gas prices and sluggish sales will continue to impact
operating margins for the remainder of the year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    GENERAL

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
      read in conjunction with the notes to the Company's audited consolidated
      financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. The unaudited
      consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the
      Company and its subsidiaries.

      These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
      normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
      necessary for a fair presentation of the respective interim periods
      presented.


2.    WARRANT ON CLASS B SHARES

      As part of a reorganization in 1994, CSA Management Inc. was granted a
      warrant expiring on March 31, 1999 to acquire up to 2,240,000 Class B
      shares of the Company at an exercise price of C$4.035 per Class B share.
      The warrant was exercised on March 26, 1999 for proceeds of C$9,038,400
      (US$5,965,000).


3.    ISSUE OF CLASS A SHARES

      On May 13, 1999 pursuant to an underwriting agreement, a syndicate of
      underwriters purchased 6,000,000 Units of the Company at a price of
      C$10.00 per Unit for net proceeds of C$56.8 million. Each Unit consists of
      one Class A subordinate voting share and one-half of one share purchase
      warrant. Each whole share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire
      one Class A subordinate voting share, at any time on or before May 13,
      2009, at a price of C$20.00 per share.


4.    COMPARATIVE FIGURES

      The Company has retroactively adopted the new recommendations of the
      Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants relating to the presentation
      and disclosure of cash flow statements. As a result, the non-cash
      acquisition of the remaining interest in Wilanour Resources Limited in
      exchange for Goldcorp Class A subordinate voting shares and Class A
      Warrants recorded in 1998, is no longer reflected as investing and
      financing activities, respectively, in the 1998 comparative figures in
      conformity with the new recommendations.
