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 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
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. 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.
