GOLDCORP’S
SHAREHOLDINGS IN
CHESAPEAKE
GOLD CORP.
VANCOUVER,
BRITISH COLUMBIA, February 27, 2007 - GOLDCORP INC.
announces that, as a result of the completion of the plan of
arrangement between
Chesapeake Gold Corp. (“Chesapeake”) (TSX-V: CKG) and American Gold Capital
Corporation (“American Gold”), it acquired, in exchange for its 3,750,000 common
shares of American Gold, (a) an additional 1,087,500 common shares
of
Chesapeake, representing approximately 3.77% of the issued and
outstanding
common shares of Chesapeake, (b) 543,750 common share purchase
warrants of
Chesapeake, representing approximately 12.06% of the issued and
outstanding
common share purchase warrants of Chesapeake, and (c) 108,750
Class A, Series 1
restricted voting shares of Chesapeake,
which provide rights of conversion on certain conditions,
representing approximately 12.06% of the issued and outstanding
Class A, Series
1 restricted voting shares of Chesapeake.
Goldcorp
now owns 1,975,170 common shares of Chesapeake, representing
approximately 6.85%
of the issued and outstanding common shares of Chesapeake as
well as common
share purchase warrants entitling it to acquire an additional
543,750 common
shares of Chesapeake at a price of $8.00 per share until February
23, 2012 and
Class A, Series 1 restricted voting shares of Chesapeake entitling
it to
acquire, under certain conditions as more fully described in
Goldcorp’s early
warning report being filed concurrently with this press release,
additional
common shares of Chesapeake.
Given
the various factors that will have to be taken into consideration
in determining
the conversion basis for the Class
A,
Series 1 restricted voting shares of Chesapeake,
at this time Goldcorp is unable to determine how many common
shares of
Chesapeake it will receive upon conversion of its Class
A,
Series 1 restricted voting shares of Chesapeake,
but it could result in Goldcorp owning greater than 10% of the
common shares of
Chesapeake.
Goldcorp
does not have any present intention to acquire ownership of,
or control over,
additional securities of Chesapeake. It
is the
intention of Goldcorp to evaluate its investment in Chesapeake
on a continuing
basis and such holdings may be increased or decreased in the
future.
Goldcorp
is one of the world’s lowest cost and fastest growing multi-million ounce gold
producers with operations throughout the Americas.

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 Goldcorp. 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

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 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

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.
Although Goldcorp has 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
does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that
are
incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable
securities laws.
