                                  NEWS RELEASE
Toronto, Canada
November 8, 2000

                            2000 THIRD QUARTER REPORT

   (All amounts in this news release are expressed in United States dollars,
                          unless otherwise indicated.)

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

"It's a Done Deal", was the title of our last press release. The merger (Plan of
Arrangement) of Goldcorp Inc. and its controlling shareholder became effective
on November 1st, 2000.

The new Goldcorp (TSE: G, NYSE: GG), has a simplified share structure, the
multiple voting share has been replaced by a one vote common share structure for
all shareholders. In addition, the number of shares available for trading has
increased by 20% as a result of the merger due to the distribution of CSA
controlling shareholdings.

These developments make a good story even better and I am pleased to say that
the merger (Plan of Arrangement) was overwhelmingly approved by shareholders.


FINANCIAL RESULTS

Our financial liquidity at the end of the third quarter was solid. We have a
good treasury, no debt and our future gold production is not sold forward.

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.   CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

     In December 1997, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued
     Handbook Section 3465, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The standard requires
     a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes to the
     asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset
     and liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
     the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
     financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
     their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured
     using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply when the
     asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets
     and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
     period that substantive enactment or enactment occurs.

     The company has adopted the asset and liability method for the nine months
     ended September 30, 2000, and has retroactively restated the 1999 results.
     The retained earnings as at December 31, 1999 have been decreased by
     $573,000 as a result of this change. The following summarizes the impact of
     applying Section 3465 on net income for the nine months ended September 30,
     1999:

3.   INCOME TAXES

     The Company has a net future tax liability. The most recent Ontario budget
     included proposed corporate income and mining tax rate reductions, which
     reduces this liability. Pursuant to the adoption of the liability method of
     accounting for future income taxes, the impact of the rate reduction on
     future income taxes is recognized in the period that the rate change is
     considered to be substantially enacted. Accordingly, the future income tax
     provision for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 includes a
     reduction of $344,000 in the future tax liability.


4.   RED LAKE MINE START-UP ACTIVITIES

     During the second quarter of 2000 the start-up of production began at the
     Red Lake Mine, with the first gold pour taking place on August 1, 2000.
     This start-up period will last until commercial production levels are
     reached, which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2000. Start-up
     activities, which include Goldcorp's revenues and operating costs during
     this period, are not capitalized, but recorded in the operations.


5.   UNION SETTLEMENT

     On April 21, 2000, an agreement was reached between the Company and the
     employee's union to end the 46-month long strike. The Union agreed that it
     would no longer represent employees at the Company's operations in Red Lake
     in return for a severance package for the striking employees totalling
     $5,994,000 and job offers to a minimum of 45 former unionized employees
     when the mine reopens. Included in the severance package are a total of
     219,000 stock options that were granted to the unionized employees to
     acquire Class A Goldcorp shares. The stock options were issued in April
     after the strike settlement with an exercise price equal to the market
     value of Goldcorp common shares at the date the options were issued and
     expire May 26, 2003, with 33 1/3% of the options vesting each year over the
     next three years. The Company has recorded the cost of the severance
     package as a charge to income in the nine months ended September 30, 2000.


6.   CAPITAL STOCK

     At September 30, 2000, the Company had a total of 86,168,379 shares
     outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Included in this amount is 4,282,733
     Class A stock options and 6,000,000 one-half share purchase warrants to
     acquire 3,000,000 Class A shares.

     700,000 Class A Goldcorp shares. The Company received, as consideration
     from the officer, a note secured by the common shares for the total
     exercise price of $2,413,000. The term of the note is one year with
     interest charged at a rate of prime plus one percent.


7.   AMALGAMATION

     On September 29, 2000, Goldcorp and CSA announced that their respective
     Boards of Directors approved the proposed reorganization (the
     "Reorganization") whereby shareholders of Goldcorp and CSA would receive
     common shares of the new Goldcorp Inc. ("New Goldcorp"). Goldcorp, CSA and
     the New Goldcorp will be amalgamated and all Goldcorp shares held by CSA
     will be cancelled. Holders of Goldcorp and CSA shares will exchange shares
     on the following basis:

     - 1.00 New Goldcorp common share for 1.00 Goldcorp Class A subordinate
       voting share;

     - 1.25 New Goldcorp common shares for 1.00 Goldcorp Class B share;

     - 2.10 New Goldcorp common shares for 1.00 CSA Class A non-voting share;

     - 6.00 New Goldcorp common shares for 1.00 CSA Class B share.

     Holders of Goldcorp stock options and warrants, and CSA stock options will
     receive identical New Goldcorp instruments converted on the same basis as
     the underlying shares. Currently there are warrants outstanding to acquire
     3,000,000 Goldcorp Class A shares, and stock options outstanding to acquire
     4,283,000 Goldcorp Class A shares and 393,000 CSA Class A shares. On
     completion of the Reorganization, New Goldcorp will have approximately
     81,123,000 common shares outstanding at September 30, 2000, on a proforma
     basis, which has been calculated as follows:
