to a Plan of

Goldcorp by February 2,
2007 in order for Goldcorp Inc. to execute the forms.
All

received by Goldcorp by the deadline will not be executed.
As set out in the
Information Circular, Goldcorp is not liable for any
penalties payable by an
Eligible Holder in respect of that holder’s late filing of the tax election form
with the Canada Revenue Agency.

100% unhedged.
