3.   PRESS RELEASES

     A joint press release relating to the approval by the shareholders of
     Goldcorp Inc. and CSA Management Inc. of a plan of arrangement (the
     "Arrangement") was issued in Toronto on October 31, 2000.

     A joint press release relating to certain amendments to a proposed
     Shareholder Rights Plan to become effective in connection with the
     Arrangement was issued in Toronto on October 27, 2000.

4.   SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CHANGE

     Pursuant to an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") made as
     of September 29, 2000, CSA Management ("CSA") and Goldcorp Inc.
     ("Goldcorp") agreed to complete a statutory plan of arrangement under
     Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA")
     pursuant to which CSA and Goldcorp would amalgamate and continue under the
     name "Goldcorp Inc." ("New Goldcorp").

     A joint management information circular was sent to the shareholders of CSA
     and Goldcorp on September 29, 2000. On October 18, 2000, CSA and Goldcorp
     announced that they would mail a Supplement to the joint management
     information circular ("Supplement to the Circular"). The Supplement to the
     Circular included a copy of an amended court order providing for the voting
     procedure to approve the New Goldcorp Stock Option Plan, additional
     information relating to the coattails attached to the shares of CSA and
     Goldcorp and an expanded discussion of the deliberations of the Independent
     Committees of both CSA and Goldcorp. On October 27, 2000, CSA and Goldcorp
     announced that they decided to make amendments to the Shareholder Rights
     Plan of New Goldcorp and such changes are outlined in the press release of
     that date.

     The Arrangement was approved by the shareholders of CSA and Goldcorp on
     October 30, 2000 and by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on October
     31, 2000. A Certificate of Arrangement was issued by the Director appointed
     under the OBCA effective November 1, 2000 (the "Effective Date").

     Under the Arrangement, all of the shares in Goldcorp held by CSA were
     cancelled by operation of law without any repayment of capital and all of
     the holders of shares in CSA and Goldcorp, other than CSA, received common
     shares in New Goldcorp. The formula for the conversion of CSA stock options
     is outlined in paragraph 5(b) below.

     Upon the implementation of the Arrangement, each of the CSA stock options
     and Goldcorp stock options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
     Date entitled the holders thereof to purchase New Goldcorp common shares.

     Upon the implementation of the Arrangement, each outstanding Goldcorp
     warrant entitling the holder to purchase Class A subordinate voting shares
     was exchanged for a warrant in New Goldcorp, entitling the holder to
     purchase one Goldcorp common share at the same exercise price and with the
     same expiry period, and otherwise on the terms and conditions applicable to
     the existing warrant.

     Immediately following the amalgamation of Goldcorp and CSA, upon the
     implementation of the Arrangement, the shareholder rights plan (the
     "Shareholder Rights Plan") dated November 1, 2000 between Goldcorp and
     Montreal Trust Company of Canada became effective, subject to certain
     amendments made thereto, attached hereto as Schedule "A".

     At the special meetings of Goldcorp and CSA shareholders held October 30,
     2000 for the purpose of approving the Arrangement, the shareholders of each
     Goldcorp and CSA approved the New Goldcorp Stock Option Plan (the "Stock
     Option Plan").

5.   FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGES

     Pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement made as of September 29, 2000, CSA and
     Goldcorp agreed to complete a statutory plan of arrangement under Section
     182 of the OBCA pursuant to which CSA and Goldcorp would amalgamate and
     continue under the name New Goldcorp.

     Under the Arrangement, all of the shares in Goldcorp held by CSA were
     cancelled by operation of law without any repayment of capital and all of
     the holders of shares in CSA and Goldcorp, other than CSA, received common
     shares in New Goldcorp on the following basis:

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

     -    6.00 New Goldcorp common shares for each CSA Class B share;

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

     -    1.25 New Goldcorp common shares for each Goldcorp Class B share.

     No fractional New Goldcorp common shares were issued in connection with the
     Arrangement.

     (A)  COMMON SHARES

     Pursuant to the Arrangement, upon the amalgamation of Goldcorp and CSA to
     form New Goldcorp, issued and outstanding shares in the capital of CSA and
     Goldcorp (other than shares in Goldcorp held by CSA) were exchanged for
     common shares in New Goldcorp on the basis noted above. The New Goldcorp
     common shares are listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York
     Stock Exchange.

     (B)  STOCK OPTION PLAN

     Upon implementation of the Arrangement, the Stock Option Plan became
     effective. The Stock Option Plan authorizes for issuance options to acquire
     an aggregate of 8,000,000 New Goldcorp common shares, which is
     approximately 3.7 million shares less than the aggregate number of shares
     authorized under the CSA stock option plan and the Goldcorp stock option
     plan, had the plans been combined under the Arrangement. The Stock Option
     Plan limits the annual grants to directors and thus eliminates any
     potential conflict of interest.

     Pursuant to the Arrangement, each CSA stock option entitles the holder
     thereof to purchase, in the aggregate, such number of New Goldcorp common
     shares as is equal to the number of CSA shares subject to such CSA stock
     option, multiplied by 2.1. The exercise price per New Goldcorp common share
     is equal to the exercise price of the related CSA stock option in effect
     immediately prior to the Effective Date, divided by 2.1. The term to
     expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, vesting schedule, status
     under applicable laws and all other terms and conditions of each CSA stock
     option remains unchanged.

     Each Goldcorp stock option entitles the holder thereof to purchase, in the
     aggregate, such number of New Goldcorp common shares as is equal to the
     number of Goldcorp shares subject to the Goldcorp stock option. The
     exercise price, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising,
     vesting schedule, status under applicable laws and all other terms and
     conditions of each Goldcorp stock option remains unchanged.

     Of the 8,000,000 authorized options under the Stock Option Plan,
     approximately 5.1 million of the options, representing currently
     outstanding CSA stock options and Goldcorp stock options, are considered to
     have been granted and approximately 2.9 million of the options are
     unreserved.

     (C)  GOLDCORP WARRANTS

     Prior to the Effective Date, Goldcorp had 3,000,000 warrants outstanding.
     Each Goldcorp warrant entitled the holder to acquire one Goldcorp Class A
     subordinate voting share, at any time on or before 5 p.m. (Toronto time) on
     May 13, 2009, at a price of Cdn.$20 per share. Under the Arrangement, each
     Goldcorp warrant entitles the holder to receive one New Goldcorp warrant,
     which entitles the holder to purchase one New Goldcorp common share at the
     same exercise price and for the same expiry period, and otherwise on the
     same terms and conditions applicable to the Goldcorp warrants. New Goldcorp
     has entered into a supplemental indenture with Montreal Trust Company of

     Canada as the warrant trustee providing for the New Goldcorp warrants. The
     New Goldcorp warrants are listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange.

     (D)  SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

     As part of the Arrangement, the shareholders of each of CSA and Goldcorp
     were asked to approve the Shareholder Rights Plan to encourage fair
     treatment of all New Goldcorp's shareholders in the event of a take-over
     bid and to provide shareholders and the board of directors (the "Board")
     more time to fully consider any unsolicited take-over bid for New Goldcorp
     and, if appropriate, to allow the Board more time to pursue other
     alternatives to maximize shareholder value. The proposed form of
     Shareholder Rights Plan was circulated to the shareholders with the joint
     management information circular.

     Prior to the special meeting of shareholders held on October 30, 2000, CSA
     and Goldcorp announced on October 27, 2000 that they had made certain
     amendments to the Shareholder Rights Plan in response to concerns raised
     about certain aspects of the Shareholder Rights Plan.

     The shareholders of each of CSA and Goldcorp approved the Arrangement,
     which included the Shareholder Rights Plan.
