(1) | Gold recovery is determined when the individual leach pads are reclaimed and production is reconciled. | |
(2) | Tonnes of ore processed each quarter do not necessarily correlate to ounces produced during the quarter, as there is a time delay between placing tonnes on the leach pad and pouring ounces of gold. |
1 | Note that reported recoveries of 62% for the fourth quarter are on fully reclaimed pads which were leached before the improvements could take effect. |

Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) as defined by the Accounting Standards Board in Accounting Guideline (AcG) 15, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional |
subordinated financial support. VIEs are subject to consolidation by the primary beneficiary who will absorb the majority of the entities expected losses and/or expected residual returns. The Company has determined that none of it equity investments qualify as VIEs. | |||
(b) | Use of estimates | ||
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires the Companys management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. | |||
Significant estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the recoverability of accounts receivable and investments, the quantities of material on leach pads and in circuit, the proven and probable ore reserves and resources and the related depletion and amortization, the estimated tonnes of waste material to be mined and the estimated recoverable tonnes of ore from each mine area, the estimated net realizable value of inventories, the accounting for stock-based compensation, the provision for income and mining taxes and composition of future income and mining tax assets and liabilities, the expected economic lives of and the estimated future operating results and net cash flows from mining interests, the anticipated costs of reclamation and closure cost obligations, and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. | |||
(c) | Revenue recognition | ||
Revenue from the sale of metals is recognized in the accounts when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk passes to the buyer, collection is reasonably assured and the price is reasonably determinable. Revenue from the sale of metals in concentrate may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal prices, weights and assays. Adjustments to revenue for metal prices are recorded monthly and other adjustments are recorded on final settlement. Refining and treatment charges are netted against revenue for sales of metal concentrate. | |||
(d) | Investment in joint ventures | ||
The Company conducts a portion of its business through joint ventures under which the joint venture participants are bound by contractual agreements establishing joint control over the venturers. The Company records its proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenue and operating costs of the joint ventures. | |||
(e) | Cash and cash equivalents | ||
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, and those short-term money market instruments that are readily convertible to cash with an original term of less than 90 days. | |||
(f) | Marketable securities | ||
Marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost or market value. | |||
(g) | Inventories and stockpiled ore | ||
Finished goods, work-in-process, heap leach ore and stockpiled ore are valued at the lower of average production cost or net realizable value. Production costs include the cost of raw materials, direct labor, mine-site overhead expenses and depreciation and depletion of mining interests. Supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or replacement cost. | |||
The recovery of gold from certain oxide ores is achieved through the heap leaching process used in certain of the Companys mines. Under this method, ore is placed on leach pads where it is treated with a chemical solution which dissolves the gold contained in the ore. The resulting pregnant solution is further processed in a plant where the gold is recovered. For accounting purposes, costs are added to ore on leach pads based on current mining and leaching costs, including applicable |
depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to mining interests. Costs are removed from ore on leach pads as ounces of gold are recovered based on the average cost per recoverable ounce of gold on the leach pad. | |||
Estimates of recoverable gold on the leach pads are calculated from the quantities of ore placed on the leach pads (measured tonnes added to the leach pads), the grade of ore placed on the leach pads (based on assay data), and a recovery percentage (based on ore type). | |||
(h) | Mining interests | ||
Mining interests represent capitalized expenditures related to the development of mining properties, related plant and equipment and expenditures related to exploration arising from property acquisitions. Capitalized costs are depreciated and depleted using either a unit-of-production method over the estimated economic life of the mine to which they relate, or for plant and equipment, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. | |||
The costs associated with mining properties are separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential, and include acquired interests in production, development and exploration stage properties representing the fair value at the time they were acquired. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves assigned through acquisition. The value allocated to reserves is depreciated on a unit-of-production method over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine. The reserve value is noted as depletable mining properties in Note 6. The resource value represents the property interests that are believed to potentially contain economic mineralized material such as inferred material within pits; measured, indicated, and inferred resources with insufficient drill spacing to qualify as proven and probable reserves; and inferred resources in close proximity to proven and probable reserves. Exploration potential represents the estimated mineralized material contained within (i) areas adjacent to existing reserves and mineralization located within the immediate mine area; (ii) areas outside of immediate mine areas that are not part of measured, indicated, or inferred resources; and (iii) greenfields exploration potential that is not associated with any other production, development, or exploration stage property, as described above. Resource value and exploration potential value is noted as non-depletable mining properties in Note 6. At least annually or when otherwise appropriate, and subsequent to its review and evaluation for impairment, value from the non-depletable category is transferred to the depletable category as a result of an analysis of the conversion of resources or exploration potential into reserves. | |||
Costs related to property acquisitions are capitalized until the viability of the mineral property is determined. When it is determined that a property is not economically viable the capitalized costs are written-off. | |||
Exploration costs incurred to the date of establishing that a property is economically recoverable are charged to operations. Further development expenditures are capitalized to the property. | |||
Mining expenditures incurred either to develop new ore bodies or to develop mine areas in advance of current production are capitalized. Commercial production is deemed to have commenced when management determines that the completion of operational commissioning of major mine and plant components is completed, operating results are being achieved consistently for a period of time and that there are indicators that these operating results will be continued. The Company determines commencement of commercial production based on the following factors which indicate that planned principal operations have commenced. These would include one or more of the following: |
(i) | A significant portion of plant/mill capacity is achieved; | ||
(ii) | A significant portion of available funding is directed towards operating activities; | ||
(iii) | A pre-determined, reasonable period of time has passed; or | ||
(iv) | A development project significant to the primary business objective of the enterprise has been completed as to significant milestones being achieved. |
Mine development costs incurred to maintain current production are included in operations. The nature of the Companys mine development costs includes costs related to accessing ore bodies that will be mined within the current production cycle. The costs include the development and access costs (tunneling) of production drifts to develop the ore body in the current production cycle. The distinction when compared with those mining expenditures incurred either to develop new ore bodies or to develop mine areas in advance of current production is mainly the production timeframe of the mining area. For those areas being developed which will be mined in the future periods, the costs are capitalized and amortized at such time as the related mining area is mined as compared to current production areas where development costs are expensed as incurred given that the short term nature of these expenditures matches the benefit of the ore being mined. | |||
Upon sale or abandonment the cost of the property and equipment, and related accumulated depreciation or depletion, are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses thereon are included in operations. | |||
The Company reviews and evaluates its mining properties for impairment annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on expected future production, commodity prices, operating costs and capital costs. | |||
(i) | Goodwill | ||
Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method whereby assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values as of the date of acquisition and any excess of the purchase price over such fair value is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is identified and allocated to reporting units by preparing estimates of the fair value of each reporting unit and comparing this amount to the fair value of assets and liabilities in the reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized. | |||
The Company evaluates, on an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to operations. Assumptions underlying fair value estimates are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. | |||
(j) | Silver purchase arrangements | ||
Purchase arrangements for which settlement is called for in silver are recorded at cost. The cost of this asset is separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value allocated to reserves is depreciated on a unit-of-sale basis over the estimated recoverable reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific contract. | |||
Evaluations of the carrying values of each purchase arrangement are undertaken annually to determine if estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying value. Estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are calculated using estimated production, sales prices and purchase costs. If it is determined that the undiscounted future net cash flows from an operation are less than the carrying value then a write-down to fair value is recorded with a charge to operations. | |||
(k) | Long-term investments | ||
Long-term investments are carried at cost. When a decline in market value that is other than temporary has occurred, these investments are written down to provide for the loss. |
(l) | Income and mining taxes | ||
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income and mining taxes. Under the 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 and for tax losses and other deductions carried forward. Upon business acquisitions, the liability method results in a gross up of mining interests to reflect the recognition of the future tax liabilities for the tax effect of such differences. | |||
Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. A reduction in respect of the benefit of a future tax asset (a valuation allowance) is recorded against any future tax asset if it is not more likely than not to be realized. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change is substantively enacted. | |||
(m) | Reclamation and closure cost obligations | ||
The Companys mining and exploration activities are subject to various governmental laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These environmental regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. The Company has recorded a liability and corresponding asset for the estimated future cost of reclamation and closure, including site rehabilitation and long-term treatment and monitoring costs, discounted to net present value. Such estimates are, however, subject to change based on negotiations with regulatory authorities, or changes in laws and regulations. | |||
(n) | Non-controlling interests | ||
Non-controlling interests exist in less than wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and represent the outside interests share of the carrying values of the subsidiaries. When the subsidiary company issues its own shares to outside interests, a dilution gain or loss arises as a result of the difference between the Companys share of the proceeds and the carrying value of the underlying equity. | |||
(o) | Foreign currency translation | ||
Prior to April 1, 2005, the Canadian dollar was determined to be the measurement currency of the Companys Canadian operations and these operations have been translated into United States dollars up until this date using the current rate method as follows: all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; all revenue and expense items are translated at the average rate of exchange for the period; and the resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment (CTA), a separate component of shareholders equity. Subsequent to the change in measurement currency described below, the CTA balance will remain the same until the reporting units which gave rise to the CTA balance are disposed of or retired. | |||
Due to the Wheaton acquisition and related changes, including holding a greater proportion of the Companys cash in United States dollars, it was determined that as of April 1, 2005, the United States dollar is the reporting and measurement currency of the Companys Canadian operations and therefore these operations have been translated using the temporal method from that date onward. All operations outside of Canada apply the United States dollar as their reporting and measurement currency and therefore translate their operating results using the temporal method. Under this method, foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange at the transaction date; and foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of earnings. In addition, unrealized gains and losses due to movements in exchange rates on cash balances held in foreign currencies are shown separately on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |
(p) | Earnings per share | ||
Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury method which requires the calculation of diluted earnings per share by assuming that outstanding stock options, warrants, and restricted share units with an average market price that exceeds the average exercise prices of the options and warrants for the year, are exercised and the assumed proceeds are used to repurchase shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the year. | |||
(q) | Stock-based compensation | ||
The Company applies the fair value method of accounting for all stock option awards. Under this method the Company recognizes a compensation expense for all stock options awarded to employees since January 1, 2003, based on the fair value of the options on the date of grant which is determined by using an option pricing model. The fair value of the options is expensed over the vesting period of the options. Stock options issued to employees before January 1, 2003 were accounted for using the settlement method and accordingly, no compensation expense has been recorded for those options. | |||
(r) | Financial instruments | ||
The Companys financial instruments comprise, primarily, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable, and income and mining taxes payable. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due primarily to their immediate or short-term maturity. Fair value for other financial instruments have been estimated by reference to quoted market prices for actual or similar instruments where available. | |||
Goldcorp uses copper forward contracts to mitigate the risk of copper price changes on copper sales at Alumbrera. These contracts do not meet the definition of an effective hedge and consequently changes in the fair values of these contracts are recorded in earnings. | |||
The Company employs, from time to time, interest rate and Canadian dollar forward and option contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has no contracts outstanding. |
(a) | Glamis Gold Ltd | ||
On August 31, 2006, Goldcorp and Glamis Gold Ltd (Glamis) announced that the respective boards of directors had agreed to combine Goldcorp and Glamis. The transaction was approved by Glamis shareholders on October 26, 2006 and closed on November 4, 2006. Each Glamis common share was exchanged for 1.69 Goldcorp common shares and C$0.0001 in cash. All outstanding Glamis stock appreciation rights (SARs) were exercised by the holders into Glamis shares such that holders of the SARs received Goldcorp shares and cash at the same share exchange ratio. Each Glamis stock option, which previously gave the holder the right to acquire shares in the common stock of Glamis when presented for execution, was exchanged for a stock option which gives the holder the right to acquire shares in the common stock of Goldcorp on the same basis as the exchange of Glamis common shares for Goldcorp common shares. | |||
The business combination has been accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and Glamis as the acquiree. The consolidated financial statements include the operating results of Glamis for the period subsequent to November 4, to December 31, 2006. | |||
The cost of acquisition in the preliminary purchase allocation includes the fair value of the Goldcorp shares issued and is based on the deemed issuance of 283.2 million Goldcorp common shares at $28.71 per common share, plus SARs of Glamis exercised for 0.4 million common shares of Goldcorp at $28.71 per common share, plus 2.8 million stock options of Glamis exchanged for 4.7 million stock options of Goldcorp with a fair value of $82.1 million, plus Goldcorps estimated transaction costs of $20.0 million, equaling a total purchase price of $8.2 billion. The price of the Goldcorp common shares was calculated as the average share price of Goldcorp two days before, the day of, and two days after the date of announcement. The stock options have been valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. | |||
A preliminary allocation of the purchase price, which is subject to final adjustments, is as follows: |
Preliminary purchase price: |
||||
283.2 million common shares of Goldcorp and cash |
$ | 8,129.0 | ||
0.4 million common shares of Goldcorp on exercise of Glamis SARs |

For the purposes of these consolidated financial statements, the purchase consideration has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with goodwill assigned to a specific reporting unit, based on managements best estimates and taking into account all available information at the time of acquisition as well as applicable information at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. Goldcorp will continue to review information and perform further analysis with respect to these assets, including an independent valuation, prior to finalizing the allocation of the purchase price. This process will be performed in accordance with Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 152. Although |
the results of this review are presently unknown, it is anticipated that it may result in a change to the amount assigned to goodwill and a change to the value attributable to tangible assets and future income tax liabilities. | |||
(b) | Placer Dome Inc mining assets | ||
On October 30, 2005, Goldcorp entered into an agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (Barrick) to acquire certain of Placer Dome Incs (Placer Dome) Canadian and other mining assets and interests upon Barricks successful acquisition of Placer Dome. On March 15, 2006, Barrick acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Placer Dome for approximately $10.0 billion in shares and cash. On May 12, 2006, Goldcorp completed the agreement with Barrick for cash of approximately $1.6 billion. The acquisition was funded with a $250 million advance payment paid in January 2006 from cash on hand. The remainder was paid upon closing by drawing down on credit facilities (note 10(a) and (b)) in the amount of $1.3 billion and cash on hand. Goldcorp has acquired Placer Domes interests in the Campbell (100%), Porcupine (51%) and Musselwhite (68%) gold mines in Canada, and the La Coipa (50%) gold/silver mine in Chile. Goldcorp has also acquired a 40% interest in the Pueblo Viejo gold development project in the Dominican Republic, together with Placer Domes interests in its Canadian exploration properties, including the Mount Milligan copper/gold deposit in British Columbia. On July 24, 2006, Goldcorp sold certain of its Canadian exploration interests to Terrane (note 13(b)). | |||
This business combination has been accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and the Placer Dome operations as the acquiree. These consolidated financial statements include the Placer Dome operations results for the period May 12, 2006 to December 31, 2006. The allocation of the purchase price of the Placer Dome operations is summarized in the following table: |
Purchase price: |

For the purposes of these consolidated financial statements, the purchase consideration has been allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with goodwill assigned to a specific reporting unit, based on managements best estimates and taking into account all available information at the time of acquisition as well as applicable information at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. This process was performed in accordance with Emerging Issue Committee Abstract 152. The amount allocated to goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. | |||
An independent valuation of the significant assets acquired was completed in February 2007, supporting managements allocation of the purchase consideration. | |||
(c) | Virginia Gold Mines Inc | ||
On March 31, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Virginia Gold Mines Inc (Virginia). Goldcorp issued 19.3 million common shares at a price of $20.63 per share. This issue price is the five-day average share price of Goldcorp common shares at December 5, 2005, the date of announcement. |
Under the agreement, shareholders of Virginia received 0.4 of a Goldcorp common share and 0.5 of a share in a new public exploration company (Virginia Mines Inc, New Virginia) for each issued and outstanding Virginia share. | |||
This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method as a business combination with Goldcorp identified as the acquirer and Virginia as the acquiree. The allocation of the purchase price of Virginia is summarized in the following table: |
Purchase price: |
||||
Common shares of Goldcorp issued to acquire 100% of Virginia (19.3 million shares) |

(d) | Wheaton River Minerals Ltd | ||
In December 2004, Goldcorp and Wheaton announced a proposed transaction which provided for Goldcorp to make a take-over bid for Wheaton on the basis of one Goldcorp share for every four Wheaton shares. | |||
On February 8, 2005, Goldcorp announced a special $0.50 per share cash dividend would be payable to existing Goldcorp shareholders should shareholders approve by majority Goldcorps take-over bid for Wheaton and Wheaton shareholders tender the minimum two-thirds bid requirement. The payment of the special dividend also resulted in an adjustment to the exchange ratio of Goldcorps outstanding warrants an increase in entitlement from 2.0 to 2.08 Goldcorp shares per warrant. | |||
On February 10, 2005, at a special meeting, Goldcorp shareholders approved the issuance of additional Goldcorp common shares to effect the acquisition of Wheaton. As of February 14, 2005, the effective date of acquisition, approximately 70% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares were tendered to Goldcorps offer, satisfying the minimum two-thirds bid requirement under the terms of the Goldcorp offer. With conditions met, the special $0.50 per share cash dividend, totaling approximately $95 million, was paid on February 28, 2005. | |||
As of March 31, 2005, Goldcorp held approximately 82% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares and by April 15, 2005, 100% had been acquired. In addition, each Wheaton warrant or stock option, which gave the holder the right to acquire common shares of Wheaton, was exchanged for a warrant or stock option of Goldcorp, giving the holder the right to acquire common shares of Goldcorp on the same basis as the exchange of Wheaton common shares for Goldcorp common shares. |
This business combination has been accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and Wheaton as the acquiree. These consolidated financial statements include 82% of Wheatons operating results for the period February 15 to April 15, 2005, and 100% of the results thereafter. The allocation of the purchase price of the shares of Wheaton is summarized in the following table: |

A total of 143.8 million Goldcorp shares were issued to acquire a 100% interest in the shares of Wheaton at a price of $13.13 per share. This issue price is the five-day average share price of Goldcorp common shares at February 8, 2005, reduced by the amount of the special dividend. Share purchase warrants and stock options have been valued using Black-Scholes option pricing models and market prices for listed share purchase warrants. Cash and cash equivalents received on the acquisition of Wheaton are net of acquisition costs and other non-operating liabilities incurred by Wheaton and directly related to the acquisition. | |||
For the purposes of these consolidated financial statements, the purchase consideration has been allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with goodwill assigned to specific reporting units, based on managements best estimates and taking into account all available information at the time of acquisition as well as applicable information at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. This process was performed in accordance with CICA Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 152. The amount allocated to goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. | |||
An independent valuation of the significant assets acquired was completed in February 2006, supporting managements allocation of the purchase consideration. |
(e) | Bermejal Gold Deposit | ||
On March 31, 2005, Goldcorp completed the acquisition of the Bermejal gold deposit in Mexico for cash consideration of $70 million from a joint venture of Industrias Peñoles SA de CV and Newmont Mining Corporation. The Bermejal gold deposit is located two kilometers south of Goldcorps Los Filos gold deposit. The Company is developing the two deposits as a single project, the Los Filos project, and a detailed engineering study for the combined project was completed in April, 2006. Commercial production is expected to commence during the second quarter of 2007. |
4. | RESTRICTED CASH | |
On December 1, 2006, Goldcorp and Glamis were amalgamated pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations Act. Goldcorp placed $65 million in escrow in compliance with the United States Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, following the filing of an Application for Withholding Certificate for Dispositions by Foreign Persons of United States Real Property Interests. These funds have been restricted to potentially remit required withholding tax to the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) following the transfer to Goldcorp of all common shares of a former United States subsidiary of Glamis, a United States Real Property Holding Corporation, which has been deemed to have been disposed of for United States tax purposes. Under United States income tax statutes, Goldcorp is required to withhold 10% of the deemed sale price of the subsidiary and subsequently remit any amount owing to the IRS within 20 days of the IRS issuing the withholding certificate. On February 21, 2007, the Company received clearance from the IRS that no withholdings taxes are required for this amalgamation. | ||

Work in process | ||
Work-in-process is the stage between the product (gold, silver, and copper) as it sits as a raw material (mined or stockpiled ore), and when it has been converted into the finished product (doré or concentrate). | ||
Heap leach inventory | ||
The recovery of gold from certain oxide ores is achieved through the heap leaching process used at the Marigold, Wharf and Amapari mines. Under this method, ore is placed on leach pads where it is treated with a chemical solution which dissolves the gold contained in the ore. | ||
Stockpiled ore | ||
The low-grade stockpiled ore is located at Alumbrera and is forecasted to be drawn down throughout the remainder of the mine life, until 2016. The portion that is to be processed within one year is reflected as a current asset. |

(a) | On March 23, 2006, Silver Wheaton entered into an agreement to purchase 4.75 million ounces of silver per year for a period of 20 years, based on the production from Glencore International AGs (Glencore) Yauliyacu mining operations in Peru, for an upfront payment of $285.3 million, comprised of $245.3 million in cash and a $40.0 million promissory note (note 10(e)). In addition, a cash payment of $3.90 per ounce of silver delivered under the purchase arrangement is due (subject to an inflationary adjustment commencing in 2009). The carrying value of the silver purchase arrangement is being amortized to operations on a unit-of-sale basis. As at December 31, 2005, Yauliyacu had proven and probable silver reserves of 12.9 million ounces, measured and indicated resources of 52.2 million ounces and inferred silver resources of 64.7 million ounces. | |
(b) | In December 2004, Silver Wheaton entered into an agreement to purchase all of the silver produced by Lundin Mining Corporations Zinkgruvan mine in Sweden for an upfront cash payment of $50 million, 6 million Silver Wheaton common shares valued at $21.1 million and 30 million Silver Wheaton common share purchase warrants valued at $6.8 million for a total purchase price of $77.9 million. In addition, a per ounce cash payment of the lesser of $3.90 and the prevailing market price, (subject to an inflationary adjustment, beginning in 2007, equal to half of the US Consumer Price Index, with a minimum of 0.4% and a maximum of 1.65% per annum), is due. The carrying value of the silver purchase arrangement is being amortized to operations on a unit-of-sale basis. Under the agreement, Zinkgruvan is required to deliver the equivalent of a minimum of 40 million ounces of silver over the 25 year period following the agreement date. As at December 31, 2005, Zinkgruvan had proven and probable silver reserves of 25.8 million ounces, measured and indicated resources of 6.8 million ounces and inferred silver resources of 29.4 million ounces. The Zinkgruvan mine is expected to produce approximately 2 million ounces of silver annually for a minimum of 20 years. |

(a) | In 2005, Goldcorp entered into a $500 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of five lenders. The facility is unsecured and available to finance acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. Amounts drawn incur interest at LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.125% per annum dependent upon the Companys leverage ratio, increasing by an additional 0.125% per annum if the total amount drawn under this facility exceeds $250 million. Undrawn amounts are subject to a 0.15% to 0.25% per annum |
commitment fee dependent on the Companys leverage ratio. All amounts drawn are required to be refinanced or repaid by July 29, 2010. As at December 31, 2006, this facility was fully drawn. | ||
(b) | On April 21, 2006, the Company entered into two credit facilities comprised of a $550 million bridge facility and a $350 million revolving credit facility. Both facilities are unsecured, and amounts drawn down will incur interest at LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.125% per annum dependent upon the Companys leverage ratio, increasing by an additional 0.125% per annum if the total amount drawn under either facility exceeds 50% of the facility amount. Undrawn amounts will be subject to a 0.15% to 0.25% per annum commitment fee dependent on the Companys leverage ratio. Proceeds raised from the early exercise of the warrants (note 14(a)) were required to repay the $550 million bridge facility and the repayment may not be re-borrowed. Amounts drawn on the $350 million facility will be required to be refinanced or repaid by May 12, 2008. As at December 31, 2006, $290 million of debt is outstanding on the $350 million credit facility. Debt of $100 million is outstanding on the bridge facility which is required to be repaid by May 12, 2007. | |
(c) | The Company has an Aus$5 million ($3.9 million), unsecured, revolving working capital facility for its Peak mine operations of which $nil was drawn down at December 31, 2006. The loan bears interest related to the Australian Treasury Bill rate plus 1.5% per annum. | |
(d) | On February 24, 2006, Silver Wheaton entered into a credit agreement comprising a $100 million non-revolving term loan (the Term Loan) and a $25 million revolving loan (the Revolving Loan). The Revolving Loan is for a period of five years and the Term Loan is to be repaid in equal installments over a period of four years, however, prepayments are allowed at any time. The interest rate on each of these loans is based on LIBOR plus a spread determined by Silver Wheatons leverage ratio. Both the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan are secured against Silver Wheatons assets including the Luismin, Zinkgruvan and Yauliyacu silver purchase arrangements. During April 2006, both the term loan and the revolving loan were repaid in full. The term loan was cancelled upon repayment while the revolving loan facility remains available. | |
(e) | On March 23, 2006, as partial consideration for entering into the Yauliyacu silver purchase contract (note 7), Silver Wheaton issued a $40 million promissory note to Glencore, bearing interest at 3% per annum and due on July 21, 2006. The promissory note was repaid from the proceeds of the public offering completed by Silver Wheaton on April 20, 2006 (note 13(a)). | |
(f) | The Company assumed a $50.0 million revolving credit facility as a result of the acquisition of Glamis (note 3(a)). The facility is available for drawdown in United States dollars or ounces of silver with repayment at any time during the three-year period ending March 4, 2008 at a bank-base rate or LIBOR (plus 0.25%-1.50% depending on financial ratios), payable according to the quoted rate term. The facility is secured by a pledge of the Companys shares in certain U.S. and Mexican mining subsidiaries. As at December 31, 2006, $35 million had been drawn against this facility. The facility was repaid, and cancelled on January 19, 2007. | |
(g) | In addition, the Company assumed a term loan in the amount of $45.0 million as a result of the Glamis transaction (note 3(a)). The facility provided for up to $45.0 million in funding for development of the Companys Marlin Project in Guatemala bearing interest at a six-month LIBOR plus 2.625% payable semi-annually. The facility was secured by a pledge of the Companys shares in the related Guatemalan subsidiaries. This facility was repaid on December 29, 2006. | |
(h) | Reclamation letters of credit outstanding at the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $135.5 million (2005 $31.3 million), with $11.4 million collateralized by certificates of deposits. |

Commencing in April 2006, the Company entered into 66 million pounds of copper forward contracts on its 2007 production at a blended rate of $2.91 per pound and also entered into 30 million pounds of copper forward contracts on its 2008 production at a blended rate of $2.55 per pound. All contracts are monthly swaps, cash settled, based on the London Metal Exchange Cash Settlement price for the month. The fair value of these contracts resulted in a $2.0 million current derivative asset and a $6.1 million long-term derivative liability as at December 31, 2006. A loss in the fair value of these contracts in the amount of $4.1 million has been recognized in earnings during the year. | ||
12. | RECLAMATION AND CLOSURE COST OBLIGATIONS | |
The Companys asset retirement obligations consist of reclamation and closure costs for both active and inactive mines. The present value of obligations relating to active mines is currently estimated at $184.2 million (2005 $49.9 million) reflecting payments for approximately the next 100 years. The present value of obligations relating to inactive mines is currently estimated at $49.9 million (2005 $7.8 million) reflecting payments for approximately the next 100 years. Significant reclamation and closure activities include land rehabilitation, demolition of buildings and mine facilities, ongoing care and maintenance and other costs. | ||
The liability for reclamation and closure cost obligations at December 31, 2006 is $234.1 million (2005 $57.7 million). The undiscounted value of this liability is $768.1 million (2005 $78.2 million). An inflation rate assumption of 2% has been used. An accretion expense component of $7.0 million (2005 $8.1 million) has been charged to operations in 2006 to reflect an increase in the carrying amount of the asset retirement obligation which has been determined using a discount rate of 5%. Changes to the reclamation and closure cost balance during the year are as follows: |

(i) | As a result of the Wheaton acquisition on February 14, 2005, Goldcorp acquired Wheatons 65% ownership of its subsidiary, Silver Wheaton. This interest decreased to 59% in December 2005 following the issuance of additional shares by Silver Wheaton to non-controlling interests giving rise to a dilution gain of $18.7 million which was recognized in earnings in 2005 and an increase in non-controlling interests of $45.1 million. | ||
(ii) | On March 30, 2006, Goldcorp and Silver Wheaton amended the silver purchase contract, increasing the minimum number of ounces of silver to be delivered over the 25 year period by 100 million ounces, to 220 million ounces, and waiving any capital expenditure contributions previously required to be paid by Silver Wheaton. In consideration for these amendments, Silver Wheaton issued to Goldcorp 18 million common shares, valued at $115.6 million, and a $20.0 million non-interest bearing promissory note due on March 30, 2007. As a result, at March 30, 2006, Goldcorp owned 62% of Silver Wheatons common shares. This transaction resulted in an increase to mining interests of $46.6 million, an increase to future income tax liabilities of $14.3 million, and an increase in non-controlling interests of $32.3 million. | ||
(iii) | On April 20, 2006, Silver Wheaton closed a C$200 million public offering of 16.7 million common shares at a price of C$12.00 per share. This transaction gave rise to a dilution gain of $61.4 million and an increase in non-controlling interests of $98.1 million. | ||
(iv) | On December 7, 2006, Goldcorp completed the sale of 18 million common shares of Silver Wheaton at a price of C$12.70 per share for gross proceeds of $199.1 million. This transaction gave rise to a gain on sale of $109.8 million which has been recognized in operations for the current year and an increase in non-controlling interests of $51.9 million. | ||
(v) | Related transactions | ||
Goldcorps interest in Silver Wheaton declined from 59% to 49% during the year as a result of the above transactions and from additional issuances of common shares by Silver Wheaton from the exercise of stock options and warrants. The dilution of the Companys interest in Silver Wheaton due to the public offering and exercises of stock options and warrants resulted in a dilution gain of $61.4 million which has been recognized in operations for the current year. Goldcorp maintains control of Silver Wheaton due to the majority influence it exerts on the board of directors of Silver Wheaton, therefore the Company continues to consolidated 100% of Silver Wheaton. | |||
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company sold to Silver Wheaton 9.0 million ounces (2005 7.9 million ounces) of silver from a subsidiary at a price of $3.90 per ounce, for total consideration of approximately $35.0 million (2005 $30.8 million). Silver Wheaton also has an agreement with Goldcorp whereby the Company provides certain |
management and administrative services at cost. During the year, total management fees paid to the Company were $0.2 million (2005 $0.4 million). This agreement allows for cancellation with 30 days notice at any time. | |||
In addition, during September 2006, in connection with the Companys recent acquisition of Glamis, Silver Wheaton has agreed to waive its right to acquire an interest in any of Glamis Mexican projects. In exchange for this waiver, Silver Wheaton has received a right of first refusal on future silver production from the Penasquito Project in Mexico. |
(b) | Terrane Metals Corp |
(i) | On July 24, 2006, the Company completed the sale of Mt Milligan and certain other Canadian exploration interests to Terrane. Goldcorp acquired these exploration interests from Barrick in May 2006 (note 3(b)). | ||
In consideration for the exploration properties, the Company received 240 million convertible Series A preferred shares at a price of C$0.50 per share. The preferred shares are convertible into common shares of Terrane at the option of Goldcorp at any time without any further consideration. Upon acquisition, on an as-converted basis, Goldcorp would own an 81% equity interest in Terranes issued and outstanding shares. The preferred shares are not entitled to dividends, are non-transferable without the prior written consent of Terrane, are non-redeemable, non-retractable, non-voting and if not previously converted will be automatically converted into common shares on the 20th anniversary of their issuance. | |||
(ii) | On November 3, 2006, Terrane issued 13.4 million units in a brokered private placement at a price of C$0.75 per unit for gross proceeds of C$10 million. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of a comment share purchase warrant. As a result of this transaction, Goldcorps interest in Terrane, on an as-converted basis, decreased to 77%, resulting in a dilution gain of $2.4 million which has been recognized in operations for the current year and an increase in non-controlling interests of $5.8 million. |
(c) | Wheaton River Minerals Ltd |
(i) | On February 14, 2005, Goldcorp acquired an 82% interest in Wheaton (note 3(d)) which resulted in the recording of an 18% non-controlling interest of $141.9 million. During the period February 15 to April 15, 2005, the non-controlling interests share of Wheatons net earnings was $3.5 million. During the same period, Wheaton issued common shares to non-controlling interests from the exercise of stock options and warrants in the amount of $3.3 million. Goldcorp acquired the remaining 18% non-controlling interests share of Wheaton on April 15, 2005. | ||
(ii) | Non-controlling interest in 2005 on the statement of earnings included $3.6 million related to Wheaton for the period February 15 to April 15, 2005. |
14. | SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY | |
At December 31, 2006, the Company had unlimited authorized common shares and 703,525,000 common shares outstanding (December 31, 2005 339,642,000). Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders Equity for movement in capital stock. |
(a) | Share Purchase Warrants | ||
On March 21, 2006, the Company proposed the issuance of new common share purchase warrants (New Warrants) in exchange for the early exercise of the five existing series of warrants (Existing Warrants). On June 12, 2006, over 92% of Existing Warrant holders had exercised their warrants during the early exercise period giving rise to net proceeds of $454.9 million which were subsequently used to pay down credit facilities drawn down to fund the previously completed acquisition of certain assets of Placer Dome from Barrick (note 3(b)). Pursuant to this transaction, the remaining Existing Warrant holders had their warrants automatically exchanged, without any further action on the part of the warrant holder (including payment of any consideration), for (i) a fraction of a common share equivalent in value to the intrinsic (in-the-money) value of such Existing Warrant calculated with reference to the price of Goldcorp common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the expiry of the early exercise period, and (ii) one half of the fraction of a New Warrant issued to holders of Existing Warrants who exercised during the early exercise period. |
Each of the 8,439,000 New Warrants issued by the Company entitles the holder to purchase at any time one common share of Goldcorp at an exercise price of C$45.75 until June 9, 2011. The New Warrants trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and New York Stock Exchanges (NYSE). | |||
All Existing Warrants were de-listed from the TSX and NYSE. | |||
As a result of the Virginia acquisition (note 3(c)), there were 856,000 Virginia warrants convertible into 343,000 Goldcorp shares at an average exercise price of C$4.81. As at December 31, 2006, all Virginia warrants were either exercised or had expired. | |||
(b) | Stock Options | ||
The Company has a 2005 Stock Option Plan which allows for up to 12.5 million stock options, with a maximum exercise period of ten years, to be granted to employees, officers and consultants. Of the 15,199,000 stock options outstanding at December 31, 2006, 7,853,000 relate to options granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan. | |||
The Company granted 3,560,000 stock options during the year ended December 31, 2006, which vest over a period of three years, are exercisable at prices ranging from C$28.84 to C$34.39 per option, expire in 2016, and have a total fair value of $26.2 million. | |||
The fair value of the options granted are calculated on the date of grant using an option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.94% to 4.53%, dividend yield of <1%, volatility factor of 30%, and an expected life of the options of four years. The fair value of the options is expensed over the period in which they vest. | |||
Compensation expense of $21.4 million has been recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 (2005 $13.9 million; 2004 $5.1 million), of which $17.3 million relates to Goldcorp (2005 $4.6 million), $1.7 million for Silver Wheaton (2005 $0.5 million), and $2.4 million for Terrane. | |||
