FINANCING OF THE RED LAKE MINE DEVELOPMENT

On May 13, 1999 Goldcorp completed a bought deal offering of Units by a
syndicate of underwriters, co-led by TD Securities Inc. and Griffiths
McBurney & Partners, together with RBC Dominion Securities Inc. Under the
financing, Goldcorp issued 6,000,000 Units at a price of C$10.00 per Unit,
for gross proceeds of C$60 million. Each Unit consists of one Class A
subordinate voting share and one-half of one share purchase warrant, with
each whole share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire at C$20.00,
one Class A share on or before May 13, 2009.

The net proceeds of C$56.8 million will be used for the development of the
Red Lake Mine. This financing will cover approximately 70% of the C$81
million required to develop the project.

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

The previously announced negotiation of a US$60 million term loan with three
Canadian chartered banks was terminated. Goldcorp is pursuing alternative
forms of financing, which will likely be in the form of debt, for the
remaining capital cost of the Red Lake Mine development project.

The transaction will be accounted for in the second quarter and will increase
cash and shareholders' equity by the C$56.8 million net proceeds.

The decline in operating results was due to our sodium sulphate operations at
Saskatchewan Minerals. Worldwide oversupply of sodium sulphate drove prices
down in 1998 and these conditions have continued.

YEAR 2000 UPDATE

Progress on Goldcorp's Year 2000 activities is proceeding according to the
plan as disclosed in the 1998 annual report. An inventory was prepared of all
computing and communications hardware and software as well as all operations
equipment in use at Goldcorp and all of its divisions. All key financial,
human resources, purchasing and distribution systems, except for an
inventory/purchasing system installed at one of the mines have been
successfully tested for Year 2000 readiness. The remaining system is on
target to be implemented by June 30, 1999. With respect to operations
equipment, Goldcorp is not highly dependent on information technology.
Implementation of affected equipment is expected to be completed by June 30,
1999. Goldcorp is currently in the process of developing contingency plans.
These are also expected to be in place by June 30, 1999. Further monitoring

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.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      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 and certain comparative figures
      have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement
      presentation.
