GOLDCORP
INC. ANNOUNCES
FIRST
GOLD
POUR AT AMAPARI SITE IN BRAZIL
Vancouver,
British Columbia: September 28, 2005
- Goldcorp
Inc. (TSX:
G; NYSE: GG) is pleased to announce that the first gold was poured
at their
Amapari mining site in Brazil on Friday, September 23, 2005.
The
pour of 10
kilos occurred 20 months after Goldcorp acquired the property in
January 2004.
The mine will complete commissioning over the next few months and
is expected to
reach commercial production in the 4th
quarter.
At
present, all mining equipment is on site and is operating. To date
over 350,000
tonnes have been loaded on the pad at a grade of approximately 2.5
grams of gold
per tonne. Production for the remainder of the year is expected to
exceed 50,000
ounces.
The
project
consists of an open pittable heap leach oxide deposit and a deeper
sulphide
deposit and will comprise an open pit mine and heap leach plant for
exploitation
of the oxide portion of the deposit. Conventional open pit mining
techniques
using a shovel/truck operation are being employed and the heap leach
process
will utilize an on/off heap leach pad, using a stacker and
reclaimer.
The
mine is
scheduled to produce over 180,000 ounces of gold in 2006 at a cash
cost of $160
per ounce. The
project
contains 1.53 million ounces of gold in proven and probable reserves
and 1.3
million ounces in resources. The company believes that there is significant
exploration potential on the site.
Goldcorp
is the
world’s lowest cost and fastest growing million ounce gold producer. Gold
production in 2005 is expected to exceed 1.1 million ounces at a
cash cost of
less than US$60 per ounce. By 2007, gold production is projected
to increase by
40% to over 1.6 million ounces. The company is unhedged and debt
free.
