GOLDCORP
TO ACQUIRE 10% INTEREST IN WOLFDEN
Vancouver,
British Columbia - November 28, 2005 - Goldcorp Inc. (GG:NYSE;
G:TSX)
is
pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent with
Wolfden Resources
Inc. ("Wolfden") (TSX:WLF) to acquire 6 million shares of Wolfden
at a price of
CDN$3.60 per share for total proceeds of CDN$21.6 million.
Of the 6 million
shares, 3 million will be common shares and 3 million will
be flow-through
common shares, and upon closing of this transaction, Goldcorp
will hold
approximately 10% of Wolfden.
Wolfden
holds several advanced-stage projects in Canada including two
in the Red Lake
gold district where Goldcorp operates its Red Lake Gold Mine.
Wolfden is
currently drilling on its 100% owned Bonanza Gold Project,
which is located
approximately 3.5 km to the east of the Red Lake Mine. Wolfden
also owns 50% of
the East Bay gold deposit, located in the north part of the
Red Lake greenstone
belt.
Goldcorp
also intends to provide assistance to Wolfden in arranging
financing for the
development of it’s 100% owned High Lake Project, one of the largest and
highest-grade undeveloped poly-metallic (copper, zinc, silver
and gold) deposits
in North America, and the companies will endeavour to identify
mutually
beneficial acquisition opportunities.
“This
alliance is another step in our efforts to consolidate the
Red Lake district and
allows Goldcorp to participate in Wolfden’s impressive project portfolio”, said
Ian Telfer, Chief Executive Officer of Goldcorp. “We look forward to working
with Wolfden.”
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. Goldcorp has approximately US$400
million in cash and
equivalents, no debt and no hedging.
