GOLDCORP TO HOST INVESTOR DAY

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, April 11, 2007 - GOLDCORP INC. will hold an Investor Day on April 12th to present information on the gold mining activities and development projects that form the basis of its peer-leading growth profile over the next five years. A $120 million exploration program concentrating on organic growth opportunities throughout Goldcorp’s asset portfolio is yielding strong preliminary results. The Investor Day presentation will be webcast and all presentation slides will be posted to Goldcorp’s website at www.goldcorp.com.

Red Lake
At the Red Lake Gold Mines in Ontario, Canada, discussion will focus on underground development, recent drilling results and expansion progress that is expected to drive annual gold production growth from the current forecast of 790,000 ounces in 2007 to one million ounces by 2011. Sinking of the No. 3 shaft has been completed and full shaft operation remains on schedule for completion by the end of 2007. A $26 million exploration budget continues to focus on five key areas: the deep high grade and sulfide zones, deep Campbell zone, the under-explored party wall that formerly separated Campbell and Red Lake, and surface targets for a potential large open pit concept. As expected, work in each of these areas is yielding positive results. Illustrations of these concepts and complete drill hole data sets are now available at www.goldcorp.com.
 
Porcupine Joint Venture
Drill results have also been made available on the Goldcorp website for the 51% owned Porcupine Joint Venture in Ontario, Canada. Extension drilling at depth at the Hoyle Pond underground mine continues to define and discover high grade reserves. Over $4 million will be invested in 2007 on over 71,000 meters of drilling to identify new growth opportunities at Hoyle Pond.
 
Also at the Porcupine Joint Venture, closure plans for the Hollinger and McIntyre Mines were recently accepted by the Ministry of Northern Development & Mines. A major component of this closure plan is the established practice of restricting access to known mine hazards with the current system of fences. Although not the focus of this initial closure plan, one long-term option being evaluated by the Porcupine Joint Venture is to remove many of the known surface hazards and subsidence areas through the potential mining of remnant gold mineralization as part of an open pit mining operation.
 
Drilling is continuing on the Hollinger Project with over 50,000 meters of additional drilling planned for 2007. Preliminary Hollinger and McIntyre data compilation completed in 2006 has allowed the PJV to report an indicated gold resource of 2.14 million ounces and a further 2.24 million ounces in the inferred resource category. This information provided the basis for moving this project from concept to pre-feasibility.

Musselwhite Joint Venture
At the 68% owned Musselwhite mine in Ontario, recent drilling at PQ Deeps has demonstrated potential for significant growth in gold reserves. This mine will continue to benefit from recent investments in plant upgrades and new equipment to maximize the potential for reserve additions at the mine.

Marlin
Production at Marlin mine is meeting expectations, with mill throughput consistently reaching design capacity of 5,000 tonnes per day, including 1,000 tonnes per day from underground operations. Material feed issues that impacted last year’s production have been resolved, and development of the West Marlin zone is advancing.

Éléonore
In advance of the Investor Day, the entire drill hole database to date for Éléonore has been posted on www.goldcorp.com. The following table includes select drillhole intercepts from the recent in-fill drilling program:

The initial resource estimate for Éléonore is expected during the second quarter. Based on preliminary analysis of the results, the Company expects an initial resource at Éléonore
in the range of 2 million to 3 million ounces of gold. The deposit remains open at depth and along strike.

Peñasquito
Management will provide an update on construction activities at Peñasquito and progress toward a new reserve calculation is expected in the second quarter. Also included will be discussion of potential throughput enhancements, conveyor haulage possibilities, studies to upgrade the concentrates, commencement of the decline for a bulk sample, and the timeline for mining equipment delivery. Initial exploration activities at some of the compelling regional targets such as Nochebuena, Los Lobos and Saltillito will also be discussed.

First Quarter Production Results
The Company also announced gold production in the first quarter of 2007 totaling 557,900. Strong performance at Red Lake, Marlin and El Sauzal partially offset decreases at Los Filos mine and Marigold mine in Nevada. As previously announced, a roadblock that had obstructed access at Los Filos mine has been resolved. Mine commissioning activities have resumed, and management will provide a revised update on Los Filos gold production for 2007, expected to total approximately 135,000 ounces for the year. The Company will provide updated production guidance in conjunction with its first quarter earnings release scheduled for May 11th, 2007.
