MARIGOLD MINE IS FIRST GOLD MINE TO RECEIVE INTERNATIONAL CYANIDE
MANAGEMENT CODE CERTIFICATION

Vancouver, British Columbia - January 3, 2006 - GOLDCORP INC. (GG:NYSE; G:TSX) announced today that the Marigold mine in Nevada has become the first gold mining operation in the world to be fully certified under the International Cyanide Management Code for the Manufacture, Transport and Use of Cyanide in the Production of Gold (“the Cyanide Code”). Marigold Mining Company operates the mine, a joint venture between Goldcorp (66 2/3 percent owner and operator) and Barrick (33 1/3 percent owner). Marigold mine produced over 200,000 ounces of gold in 2005 within the Battle Mountain gold trend near Winnemucca, Nevada.
 
The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry program for companies involved in the production of gold using cyanide. It was developed under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme with the goal of safeguarding human health and the environment by promoting responsible management of cyanide used in gold mining.
 
“The certification of Marigold is the latest validation of Goldcorp’s ongoing commitment to operating all of its mines to the highest possible standards,” said Kevin McArthur, Goldcorp Chief Executive Officer. “We are very proud of the operating team that led Marigold to be the world’s first gold mine certified as fully compliant with the Cyanide Code.”
 
Goldcorp is one of the world’s lowest-cost and fastest growing multi-million ounce gold producers with operations throughout the Americas.
