VANCOUVER, April 7, 2017 /CNW/ - GOLDCORP INC. (TSX: G,
NYSE: GG) ("the Company") today announced it has completed the sale of its Los Filos Mine in Mexico to Leagold Mining
Corporation (TSXV: LMC-H) ("Leagold"). Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, Goldcorp received an aggregate
of 34,635,091 common shares of Leagold, representing 25.3% of Leagold's issued and outstanding common shares, $250 million in cash
and a $29 million short-term promissory note that is due on the earlier of (i) 120 days from closing and (ii) the receipt by Leagold
of approval from the Mexican competition commission ("COFECE") on a subsequent tranche of its equity financing. Following
the completion of the second tranche of its equity financing, the Company's ownership on an as-issued basis will be 22.9% of Leagold's
issued and outstanding common shares. Goldcorp also retained certain tax receivables worth approximately $100 million.
"The divestiture of Los Filos unlocks further value and
allows us to focus on our core camps," said David Garofalo, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward
to participating in the future success of Leagold through our significant ownership interest."

require through market transactions, private agreements, or otherwise. A copy of the early warning report filed by the Company
in connection with the acquisition of common shares will be available on Leagold's SEDAR profile. In order to obtain a copy

-Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the United States Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or in releases made by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, all as may be amended from time to time, and "forward-looking information"
under the provisions of 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 completion
by Leagold of a second tranche equity financing and payment of the related promissory note, future price of gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc, the estimation of Mineral Reserves (as defined below) and Mineral Resources (as defined below), the realization
of Mineral Reserve estimates and the timing and amount of estimated future production. Generally, these forward-looking statements
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" , "is expected",
"budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates"
, "believes", or variations or comparable language of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events
or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will be taken",
"occur" or "be achieved" or the negative connotation thereof.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number
of factors and assumptions that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of Goldcorp to be materially
different from future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such statements and information
are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which Goldcorp will operate
in the future, including the price of gold, anticipated costs and ability to achieve goals. Certain important factors that could
cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among
others, Leagold's inability to obtain COFECE approval for the second tranche of the equity financing, Leagold's inability to finance
the repayment of the promissory note, gold price volatility, discrepancies between actual and estimated production, Mineral Reserves
and Mineral Resources and metallurgical recoveries, mining operational and development risks, regulatory restrictions (including
environmental regulatory restrictions and liability), changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls
or regulations and/or change in the administration of laws, policies and practices, political or economic developments in Mexico,
and higher prices for fuel, steel, power, labour and other consumables. Although Goldcorp believes its expectations are based upon
reasonable assumptions and has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ
materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results
not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other important 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 completion of the second tranche of the Leagold's equity financing and payment of the related promissory
note, risks related to Goldcorp's equity interest in Leagold, risks related to international operations, including economic and
political instability in foreign jurisdictions in which Goldcorp operates; risks related to current global financial conditions;
future prices of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of
plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; mine development and operating risks; accidents, labour disputes and other
risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing; risks related to indebtedness and the service
of such indebtedness, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Description of the Business – Risk
Factors" in Goldcorp's most recent annual information form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
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.
Forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. Except as otherwise
indicated by Goldcorp, these statements do not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other special items or of any
disposition, monetization, merger, acquisition, other business combination or other transaction that may be announced or that may
occur after the date hereof. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's
current expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of Goldcorp's operating environment.
Goldcorp does not intend or undertake to publicly update any forward-looking statements that are included in this document, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
