Goldcorp
Update
VANCOUVER,
BRITISH COLUMBIA,
November 1, 2006 -
GOLDCORP INC.
today
announced an update on Robert
McEwen’s appeal and the 2006 outlook.
McEwen
Application Update
The
appeal brought by Robert McEwen
was heard today in the Divisional
Court of the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
At the conclusion of the hearing,
the court
indicated that the decision on
the appeal would be rendered
after the close of
market on Monday, November 6,
2006. The Company expects to
close the Glamis
transaction shortly thereafter.
2006
Outlook Update
Goldcorp
Inc. today revised its gold production
guidance for the second half
of 2006,
primarily due to continuing lower
than expected gold grades at
Red Lake and Peak
mines.
Goldcorp
now expects to produce approximately
875,000 ounces of gold in the
second half
of 2006, reduced from previous
guidance of 950,000 ounces. This
translates to
1.75 million ounces on an annualized
basis for 2006, a production
increase of
54% over 2005. The Company expects
to produce 160 million pounds
of copper and
13.5 million ounces of silver
in 2006.
Total
cash costs are expected to be
in line with previous guidance
at less than $100
per ounce.
The
company will provide gold production
guidance for 2007 in mid December
which
will include the Glamis operations.
Goldcorp
will release third quarter results
after market close on Tuesday,
November
14th,
2006. A
conference call will be held
Wednesday, November 15th
at
11:00a.m. (ET) to discuss these
results. You may join the call
by dialing toll
free 1-888-789-0150
or 416-695-9757 for calls from
outside Canada and the US. The
conference call
will be recorded and you can
listen to a playback of the call
after the event by
dialing 1-888-509-0081 or 416-695-5275.
Pass code 632784. A live and
archived
audio webcast will be available
on the website at www.goldcorp.com.
Goldcorp
is one of the world’s lowest-cost and fastest growing
multi-million ounce gold
producers with operations throughout
the Americas and Australia. Gold
production
in 2006 is expected to be approximately
1.75 million ounces on an annualized
basis, at total cash cost of
less than US$100 an ounce. The
Company does not
hedge its gold production.
Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This
press
release contains “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the United
States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and applicable
Canadian
securities legislation, concerning
the business, operations and
financial
performance and condition of
each of Goldcorp and Glamis.
Forward-looking
statements include, but are not
limited to, statements with respect
to the
future price of gold, silver
and copper, the estimation of
mineral reserves and
resources, the realization of
mineral reserve estimates, the
timing and amount
of estimated future production,
costs of production, capital
expenditures, costs
and timing of the development
of new deposits, success of exploration
activities, permitting time lines,
hedging practices, currency exchange
rate
fluctuations, requirements for
additional capital, government
regulation of
mining operations, environmental
risks, unanticipated reclamation
expenses,
timing and possible outcome of
pending litigation, title disputes
or claims and
limitations on insurance coverage.
Generally, these forward-looking
statements
can be identified by the use
of forward-looking terminology
such as “plans”,
“expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”,
“estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or
“believes”, or variations of such words
and phrases or state that certain
actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”,
“occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking statements
are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause
the actual
results, level of activity, performance
or achievements of Goldcorp and
Glamis,
respectively, to be materially
different from those expressed
or implied by such
forward-looking statements, including
but not limited to: risks related
to the
integration of acquisitions;
risks related to international
operations; risks
related to joint venture operations;
actual results of current exploration
activities; actual results of
current reclamation activities;
conclusions of
economic evaluations; changes
in project parameters as plans
continue to be
refined; future prices of gold,
silver and copper; possible variations
in ore
reserves, grade or recovery rates;
failure of plant, equipment or
processes to
operate as anticipated; accidents,
labour disputes and other risks
of the mining
industry; delays in obtaining
governmental approvals or financing
or in the
completion of development or
construction activities, as well
as those factors
discussed in the section entitled
“Description of the Business -
Risk Factors”
in Goldcorp’s Annual Information Form for
the year ended December 31, 2005,
available on www.sedar.com, and
Form 40-F for the year ended
December 31, 2005
on file with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission
in Washington,
D.C., the section entitled “The Narrative Description of
the Business - Risk
Factors” in Glamis’ Annual Information Form for the
year ended December 31,
2005, also available on www.sedar.com, and the section entitled
“Risk
Factors” in Western Silver Corporation’s Annual Information Form for
the year
ended September 30, 2005, also
available on www.sedar.com. Although
Goldcorp and
Glamis have attempted to identify
important factors that could
cause actual
results to differ materially
from those contained in forward-looking
statements,
there may be other factors that
cause results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. There
can be no assurance that such
statements will prove
to be accurate, as actual results
and future events could differ
materially from
those anticipated in such statements.
Accordingly, readers should not
place
undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Goldcorp and Glamis
do not
undertake to update any forward-looking
statements that are incorporated
by
reference herein, except in accordance
with applicable securities
laws.
