OVERVIEW

FINANCINGS

On May 13th, Goldcorp completed the sale of 6 million Units at C$10 per Unit.
Each Unit consisted of 6 million Class A shares and 3 million Class A share
purchase warrants exercisable at C$20 with a term of 10 years. Net proceeds to
the company were C$56.8 million. These funds are being used for the development
of the high grade Red Lake Mine.

In the first six months of 1999, Goldcorp received $1.9 million from the
exercise of 385,846 Class A share purchase warrants. These warrants were issued
in February 1998

as part payment for the acquisition of the remaining interest of Wilanour
Resources Limited. This purchase was strategic as it increased Goldcorp's land
holding in the Red Lake mining district by 50%.

OPERATIONS

GOLD
RED LAKE MINE

Upon the completion of the equity financing in May, contracts for the
development of Red Lake were awarded, and contractors were mobilized
immediately.

To the end of June, 12% of the project's total capital cost had been incurred.
Projected capital expenditures for the remainder of 1999 are $22 million and the
balance of $27 million will be spent in 2000.

Commercial production is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2000. To
date, the development work is on schedule and on budget.

Underground drilling is focused on preparing the High Grade Zone for mining. In
addition, exploration drilling is directed to expanding the High Grade reserve
base. Drilling year-to-date, has demonstrated the consistent high grade nature
of the ore zones and it has added to the resource base. A reserve audit will be
completed at year end using a $250 per ounce gold price.

WHARF MINE

Cash production cost per ounce and ounces produced are in line with budget.
Production revenue is unhedged. The projected 1999 production is 104,000 at a
cash production cost of $197 per ounce.

INDUSTRIAL MINES - SASKATCHEWAN MINERALS AND HAVELOCK LIME

Havelock Lime has enjoyed strong sales and operating profits during the first
half of the year, and ahead of budget. The balance of the year looks good for
Havelock.

Saskatchewan Minerals is in line with budget, but well below its performance in
1998. Increasing natural gas prices and sluggish sales will likely reduce its
operating margins in the second half.

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. The Company terminated the
      previously announced negotiation of a US$60 million term loan with three
      Canadian chartered banks.


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.
