GOLDCORP
COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF GLAMIS
VANCOUVER,
BRITISH COLUMBIA,
November 4, 2006 -
GOLDCORP INC.
and
GLAMIS
GOLD LTD.
today
announced that Goldcorp has completed
its previously announced acquisition
of
Glamis. Effective immediately,
each Glamis share has been exchanged
for 1.69
Goldcorp shares and $0.0001 in
cash. Goldcorp will issue approximately
283.6
million
common shares in connection with
the acquisition. Former registered
shareholders
of Glamis will receive certificates
representing their Goldcorp shares
and the
cash consideration upon submission
of certificates representing their
Glamis
shares to CIBC Mellon Trust Company
together with a letter of transmittal
which
will be mailed to each registered
Glamis shareholder.
On
Friday, November 3, 2006, the Divisional
Court of the Ontario Superior Court
of
Justice dismissed the appeal brought
by Robert McEwen of the decision
of the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice
which determined that Goldcorp
has complied
with all applicable laws with respect
to the transaction with Glamis.
Goldcorp
had indicated that it would not
complete the transaction until
the appeal had
been heard. Goldcorp also received
the final approval of the Federal
Competition
Commission in Mexico on November
3, 2006.
In
connection with the business combination,
effective on or about November
15,
2006, Ian Telfer, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Goldcorp,
will become
Chairman of Goldcorp and Kevin
McArthur, President and Chief Executive
Officer
of Glamis, will become President
and Chief Executive Officer of
Goldcorp. At the
same time, the board
of directors of Goldcorp will be
reconstituted and comprised of
10 members, six
from the board of Goldcorp and
four from the board of Glamis.
Goldcorp
is one of the world’s lowest-cost and fastest growing
multi-million ounce gold
producers with operations throughout
the Americas and Australia. 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.
