AMENDED
GOLDCORP TO HOST ANALYST TOUR OF RED LAKE GOLD MINES
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, September 4, 2007 GOLDCORP INC. (TSX: G, NYSE: GG) today
provided an update on mine expansion and exploration progress at Red Lake Gold Mines in
northwestern Ontario, Canada in advance of an analyst tour at the operation this week.
Following the integration of the two mines (Red Lake and Campbell) just over one year ago, the
ongoing efforts of the management team have resulted in:
|
|
the completion of the mill expansion with total site capacity increasing to approximately
3,100 tonnes per day; |
|
|
|
the commencement of operation of the new #3 shaft; |
|
|
|
the generation of significant operational synergies that are expected to maintain Red
Lakes current low cash costs into the foreseeable future; and |
|
|
|
exciting new exploration discoveries in several areas of the property. |
These investments and the associated productivity improvements will support the plan to grow Red
Lakes gold production to over 1 million ounces per year by 2011.
Exploration Update
Drilling results from this years C$26 million drilling program continue to support the Companys
exploration and development model. The focus remains on the five top prospects: Party Wall
targets, Deep Campbell, High Grade Zone and Footwall Sulphides, Red Lake Sulphides and Surface
targets. The relevant Red Lake drill hole database, as well as the slide presentation from this
weeks mine tour, are available on the Companys website at http://www.goldcorp.com/operations/red_lake_mine
Party Wall Targets
The previously unexplored boundary zone between the former Campbell and Red Lake mines, known
locally as the Party Wall, has been the target of drilling in 2007. Initial drilling from the
Campbell-Red Lake underground connection (36 level) has intersected a new high grade quartz vein
with gold intercepts, including:
|
|
|
6.8 ounces per ton over 3.7 feet; |
|
|
|
9.1 ounces per ton over 1.5 feet; and |
|
|
|
50.3 ounces per ton over 2.0 feet. |
Deep Campbell
Drilling from the Deep Campbell area has identified the new A5 zone, 1,000 feet southwest of the
Deep Campbell zone. Values intersected include gold grades of 1.3 ounces per ton over 2.0 feet, 0.7
ounces per ton over 3.1 feet, and 1.6 ounces per ton over 4.2 feet. Exciting results were also
intersected in the PCB zone which included gold grades of 0.8 ounces per ton over 18.3 feet and 1.2
ounces per ton over 16.6 feet.

High Grade and Footwall Sulphides
The High Grade Zone is currently being mined on the 42 level. Mining reserves extend to the 47
level with resources down to the 50 level. The High Grade Zone has been intersected as deep as the
57 level and remains open at depth. A new hanging wall drift at the 4599 level is being developed
to allow for drilling to better define and expand the zone below the 47 level. Definition and
exploration drilling in the footwall sulphide zone continues to increase reserves.
Red Lake Sulphides
Current exploration plans continue to reinterpret data in an effort to re-initiate mining activity
that was halted more than ten years ago. Drilling of the up-dip extension of the High Grade Zone
in this area will commence in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Surface Targets
To investigate the open pit potential of the property, new drilling in 2007 has concentrated on the
footwall of the North C Zone discovering both wide areas of low-grade near-surface material and new
high grade veins that were never previously mined. New intercepts include:
|
|
|
0.03 ounces per ton over 118 feet; |
|
|
|
0.07 ounces per ton over 32.8 feet; |
|
|
|
0.02 ounces per ton over 108.2 feet; |
|
|
|
2.79 ounces per ton over 1.5 feet; and |
|
|
|
2.6 ounces per ton over 5.7 feet. |
Kevin McArthur, Goldcorp President and Chief Executive Officer said, The ongoing synergies we are
realizing from the combination of these two world-class assets, when taken together with these
exciting new exploration results in the area between the two properties, underscore our belief that
Red Lake will remain one of the pre-eminent gold mines in the world and a cornerstone asset of
Goldcorp for many years to come.
Mr. Dean Crick, P.Geo. and Chief Geologist of Red Lake Gold Mines, who is a qualified person as
such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the design and conduct of
the exploration program at Red Lake Gold Mines and has reviewed and approved the contents of this
news release.
Goldcorp is one of the worlds lowest-cost and fastest growing multi-million ounce gold producers
with operations throughout the Americas. Its gold production remains 100% unhedged.
