Goldcorp Provides First Quarter 2018 Exploration Update
VANCOUVER, April 25, 2018 /CNW/ - GOLDCORP INC. (TSX:
G, NYSE: GG) ("Goldcorp" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its 2018 exploration program.
Representative drill results are provided below; website links to further information including full drill results, drill coordinates,
quality assurance and quality control information and relevant diagrams are provided at the end of each section.
Highlights
| · | Cerro Negro's Silica Cap target continues to return
positive results including 7.47 m at 121.75 g/t gold and 275.20 g/t silver (SCDD-18054). Expecting maiden mineral resource
estimate in 2018. 2018 exploration budget of $20 million will be used to continue accelerated testing of early-staged targets and
expansion of current known veins. Optimization study continues and is expected to be completed by the end of 2018. |
| · | Santa Rosa target initial drilling near Peñasquito
intersected mineralized intervals of 164 m at 1.06 g/t gold from 212 m (SRD-19-18) along with higher grade intercepts of skarn
mineralization of 22 m at 3.46 g/t gold from 408 m. Goldcorp has also signed a letter of intent with Minera Frisco, S.A.B. de C.V.
outlining a proposed joint venture to jointly explore key regional targets in the Mazapil Valley near Peñasquito. |
| · | Commencement of drilling at Norte Abierto. A
total of 13 holes for 11,868 meters have been completed. Drilling program is expected to confirm the geological model, provide
geotechnical data and metallurgical samples for Cerro Casale and Caspiche, and initiate a reconnaissance program on the Luciano
advanced target. |
| · | Musselwhite continues to return positive drill
results to support mineral reserve growth in 2018 and identifies new exploration opportunities down-plunge at Lynx North and
Redwing. Recent holes from PQ Deeps included 10.6 m at 18.2 g/t gold (18-PQE-016) and 11.7 m at 18.40 g/t gold (18-PQE-017). |
| · | Continued underground drilling at HG Young (Red
Lake Camp) confirmed down plunge continuity of the deposit with mineralized intercepts including 0.91 m at 158.52 g/t gold
(D142074). Updated mineral resource estimate is expected in the third quarter of 2018 and starter mine plan by the end of 2019. |
| · | Coffee Mineral Resource Update: 2017 drill
programs added several new deposits to the Coffee mineral resource inventory and upgraded Kona North to indicated mineral resource
classification, resulting in an indicated mineral resource estimate of 4.65 Mt at 1.17 g/t gold for 180,000 ounces, and an inferred
mineral resource estimate of 9.6 Mt at 0.99 g/t gold for 300,000 ounces. 2018 drill programs are already underway with a focus
on expanding the known mineralized areas and converting mineral resources into mineral reserves. |
"We are very excited about the 2018 exploration program
which got underway during the first quarter. The exploration strategy remains unchanged with a focus on reserve replacement and
new target generation," said Paul Harbidge, Senior Vice-President, Exploration. "Leveraging the success we had in 2017
in advancing new targets such as Amerikona at Coffee, and Silica Cap at Cerro Negro, we have an aggressive program ahead of us
this year to advance targets from our core assets through conversion of resources into reserves. I'm very confident in our ability
to reach our targeted 20% increase in reserves by 2021."
Exploration at Goldcorp's operating and developing mines continued
with drilling programs primarily aimed towards updating mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates as part of our annual cycle
at the end of the third quarter 2018, and identification of additional mineral resource growth opportunities within near mine locations.
A renewed generative exploration focus is also underway at all sites towards making new discoveries on the Company's large, highly
prospective and under-explored regional landholdings which surround the Company's under-utilized industrial processing complexes.
The key exploration highlights from select operations are presented below.
Cerro Negro Camp
Exploration work at Cerro Negro (100% owned, Argentina)
during the first quarter of 2018 primarily concentrated on further drilling the advanced target of Silica Cap. A first drill program
was also initiated on the Vein Zone 'Deep' target, to test the continuity of high grade mineralization at depth.
By the end of the first quarter of 2018, a total of eight
diamond drill rigs and one reverse circulation ("RC") drill rig were operational on surface at Cerro Negro. A summary
of drilling completed during the first quarter is presented in Table 1.

Additional exploration work during the first quarter comprised
detailed structural mapping, modelling of airborne electromagnetic geophysical data along with field campaigns of surface geochemistry
and ground geophysics.
The Silica Cap complex is a northwest-trending vein
system 10.5 km southeast of the Mariana Central area and 3.6 km south of the processing plant. To date, three sub-parallel epithermal
veins, 500 (Silica Cap), 600 (Gato Salvaje), and 601, along with several ancillary subparallel and north-northwest-trending structures
have been defined within the Silica Cap complex (Figure 1).
The 500 vein has now been defined along a strike extent of
approximately 1,800 m, the 600 vein along a strike extent of approximately 1,100 m, and the 601 vein along a strike extent of approximately
1,500 m. Mineralization is generally confined vertically between elevations of 450 m to 850 m. Within the 500 vein,
a 400 m by 100 m high-grade chute plunging roughly 30° to the south-east has been defined (Figure 2). Similarly, a 500
m by 100 m higher-grade area has been defined within the 600 vein (Figure 3).
The true width of the 500 vein is generally between 5 m and
10 m, although shallow intercepts have encountered high-grade mineralization across larger widths in areas where the structure
bifurcates and/or is cross-cut by syn-mineral, north-northwest-trending structures. The 600 and 601 veins, subparallel veins
to the south of the 500 vein, average approximately 8 m and 6 m in width, respectively.
Selection and dispatch of 32 samples for initial metallurgical
testing was completed during the first quarter. The geometallurgical samples are distributed across pertinent areas of the 500,
600, and 601 veins. The test work is being conducted by SGS Chile with final results expected in May, 2018.
Golder Associates Inc. began geotechnical work on the project
in February 2018 to support potential future mine development and data for resource calculations.
A selection of results from the first quarter of 2018 drilling
is presented in Figures 2 and 3; and Tables 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the appendix.
Results during the first quarter have provided better definition
in the higher elevations of the target and have illuminated the importance of syn-mineral, north-northwest-trending structures
in having generated ancillary veining in the footwall and hangingwalls of the principal mineralized veins. Mineralized widths
and tenor of the 600, 601, and aforementioned ancillary structures outside of the 500 vein, have been more important than anticipated.

Resource drilling at Silica Cap, Vein Zone Deep, San Marcos
and Mariana Norte Este-B will continue during the second quarter of 2018. Exploration drilling on identified targets has
begun on a limited scale with one RC rig, and is scheduled to ramp up later in the second quarter as the cycle for the 2018 mineral
reserve and mineral resource drilling winds down. On the regional exploration front, soil sampling programs, as well as ground
magnetic surveys, are underway to provide additional data layers to generate and prioritize future targets.

Peñasquito Camp
The principal focus of exploration during the first quarter
of 2018 at Peñasquito (100% owned, Mexico) was the commencement of a first pass reconnaissance diamond drill program
over the Santa Rosa target, a follow-up exploration target 20 km to the east-southeast of the Peñasquito mine.
In February 2018, Goldcorp signed a letter of intent with
Minera Frisco, S.A.B. de C.V. outlining the general terms and conditions of a proposed joint venture. The objective of the
joint venture will be to amalgamate exploration ground in the Mazapil Valley, where numerous targets have been jointly defined.
Negotiations relating to the definitive joint venture agreement are underway.
In addition to concessions owned by Goldcorp, the Santa
Rosa project area consists of option agreements with J. Gonzalez (315 ha) and Maverix Metals Inc. (2,695 ha) where Goldcorp
owns a majority interest. The Santa Rosa system is interpreted as a quartz porphyry complex intruding a contemporaneous volcanic
pile underlain by Lower Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous carbonate stratigraphy (Figure 5).
Historical mining at Santa Rosa exploited high grade carbonate
hosted mineralization from surface through to a depth of approximately 350 m. Based on estimates of historical information,
which is not compliant with National Instrument 43-101, roughly 150,000 tonnes of ore was treated with approximately 150,000 ounces
of gold and 1 million ounces of silver produced before closure of the operation in the early 1980's.
A seven hole, 5,000 m diamond drill program commenced in January
2018, and was mostly complete by the end of the first quarter of 2018. The drilling was designed to test the potential of
west-northwest trending dacite porphyry dykes to host mineralization along with their potential to have generated skarn mineralization
where they interface with favorable carbonate stratigraphy at depth (Figure 5). Assay results have been returned for four
holes (Table 8).
The mineralized intervals correspond to disseminated, intrusive
hosted mineralization within dacite porphyry dykes (SRD-20-18: 164 m at 1.06 g/t gold from 212 m) along with higher grade intercepts
of skarn mineralization (22 m at 3.46 g/t gold from 408 m). Currently, three holes have intersected mineralization and define
the following dimensions: 100 m to 400 m below surface and over a strike of 300 m. The zone is located 600 m west of historical
mine workings and remains open along strike and at depth.
Although the holes which have intersected mineralization were
targeted to intersect the dykes at perpendicular angles, further drilling will be required to determine extent, true width and
geometry of mineralization (Figure 6).

Norte Abierto Camp
Norte Abierto (50% owned, Chile) commenced a first
drill program on its Chilean project during the first quarter of 2018. Nine diamond core rigs and one RC rig were operational at
the end of the quarter. A total of thirteen holes for 11,868 m have been completed; and a further eight holes for a total 2,785
m are in progress. The purpose of the drilling program is threefold: 1) to confirm the geological model; 2) to provide geotechnical
data and metallurgical samples for the two main deposits of Cerro Casale and Caspiche; and 3) to initiate a reconnaissance program
on the Luciano advanced target. Assay results for all holes are pending.
A relogging program of diamond drill core is progressing well
on both the Caspiche (52,620 m) and Cerro Casale (41,068 m) deposits to update the geological models. As well as the relogging
program, hand held Terraspec® and Corescan® technology are aiding the geological work especially
in developing the alteration model and the clay speciation. A detailed surface geological map has also been completed.
The Caspiche geological model is currently the most advanced.
The deposit is associated with a sequence of subvolcanic magmatic pulses of dioritic and quartz-dioritic composition that intrude
a stratigraphic sequence of volcanogenic rocks. The location of these intrusive bodies is controlled by northwest structures which
have been sinistrally reactivated creating dilation. The developing understanding of intrusive phases, alteration assemblages and
their relationship to mineralization will be used to inform mineral resource estimation and exploration decision-making.
At Luciano, a review of historical drill holes (2,965 m) has
revealed similarities in host rock, alteration and mineralization as both the Cerro Casale and Caspiche deposits. A phase
1 diamond drill hole program is underway to test this high priority exploration target.

Red Lake Camp
Exploration activity in Red Lake (100% owned, Canada)
concentrated on three areas: Campbell-Red Lake, HG Young and Cochenour.
Underground exploration development at Campbell-Red Lake
during the fourth quarter of 2017 and during the first quarter of 2018 focused on creating improved access to the eastern portions
of the mine to further explore the PLM, Lower R and 56 zones, and the HW7 zone (Figure 8). Work on the PLM and HW7 targets
is at an early stage, with assays currently pending and work underway to update the geological model. Preliminary results
received to date indicate that the drilling has confirmed the geological model and extended potential mineralization in some areas.
![Figure 8: Long section of all Campbell - Red Lake mineralized zones, looking east-northeast, highlighting the PLM, Lower R|56 and HW7 zones drilled during Q1-2018.

is also shown, which is located 2.1 km to the northeast of the Campbell-Red Lake underground mine complex (Link to figure)
The Lower R and 56 Zones are located in the corridor between
the regional RL01 and Dickenson faults, hosted within basalt and komatiitic-basalt. The "R" Zone drilling is focused
on reserve conversion, while the "56" Zone, which is located in the footwall of the Dickenson Fault, remains open at
depth and drilling is underway to test the down-dip potential. Assay results from the fourth quarter 2017 drilling in the
R and 56 zones included numerous high grade intercepts and preliminary interpretation to support both potential conversion of resources
to reserves, and expansion of resources. Assays Assayare summarized in Table 9, with comprehensive assays provided at the
link below.
Exploration in the second quarter of 2018 will focus on completing
mineral reserve conversion drilling and continued extension of drill development access to enable step-out drilling in the eastern
portions of the mine which host favorable geologic and structural target zones, but which remain underexplored.

During the first quarter of 2018, work at HG Young
initially focused on the rehabilitation of underground mine access on 14 Level and the excavation of drill bays for infill drilling.
As rehabilitation was completed, geological teams were able to commence underground mapping and drilling to confirm the updated
geological model developed in 2017. The main focus of drilling is the delineation of the plunge control on mineralization
between 9 Level and 21 Level (400 m to 1,600 m below surface), which is defined by the intersection of the HG Young Shear and Mine
Trend Faults, and expansion of mineralization up and down-plunge.
By the end of the first quarter 2018, a total of 17 holes
for 4,494 m had been completed, comprising of infill drilling of the main plunge of the HG Young shear zone which tested an area
covering 140 m of strike and 90 m down dip (Figure 9). Results returned to date confirm the geological model and plunge continuity
of the system. Mineralization is hosted within a deformation corridor consisting of multiple northwest plunging pinch and swell
shear hosted mineralized envelopes. High grade mineralization is associated with stacked quartz-scheelite veins. Lesser
sulphide replacement style zones were also intersected outside of the main strain area and oriented parallel to Mine Trend Faults.
Highlight drill intercepts A selection of drill intercepts are summarized in Table 10 of the appendix, with comprehensive assays
provided at the link below.
Execution of the 2018 $11.5 million exploration budget at
HG Young will continue during the second quarter of 2018 with 65 holes and 23,800 m of drilling planned from surface and underground
in order to advance exploration and conceptual mining studies on this high priority target. The Company expects to commence
the development of the preferred material handling system to facilitate production and expects to provide parameters for a starter
mine plan by late 2019.

In the first quarter of 2018 at Cochenour, infill drilling
within the UMZ South zone at Upper Cochenour was completed, as well as sub level definition drilling of future production stopes.
Drilling was also undertaken at Lower Cochenour with the objective of converting additional mineral resources into mineral reserves.
Gold assay results returned from the first quarter of 2018 definition drilling continue to confirm the geological model and
the project remains on track to increase the mineral reserve estimate ahead of planned commercial production in 2019. Drilling
assays are located at the link below.
Exploration of new zones, including the intersection of the
Cochenour Fault and Mine Trend Faults, returned encouraging results. Together with other targets, including the northern banded
iron formation, the down plunge extensions of the UMZ zone and exploration along the 'Gold Eagle Shear', these zones will be the
focus of future exploration programs. In the second quarter of 2018, exploration will continue to focus on infill and expansion
of the UMZ South zone in Upper Cochenour.

Musselwhite Camp
At Musselwhite (100% owned, Canada), the Company continued
evaluating near-mine targets with five drills testing mineral reserve and mineral resource extensions from underground infrastructure.
Drilling totalled 12,195 m during the first quarter of 2018, primarily completed in support of the 2018 mineral reserve replacement
target. In addition, data compilation and interpretation continued to develop and identify new targets in an underexplored
regional landholding.
During the first quarter of 2018, underground mine exploration
was focused on completing resource conversion drilling in the West Limb, C Block portion of PQ Deeps and the Lynx North area.
![Figure 11: Musselwhite mine generalized cross section looking north. (CNW Group|Goldcorp Inc.)](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/919239/000127956918000816/image_011.jpg)
Figure 11: Musselwhite mine generalized cross
section looking north. (Link to figure)
Twenty-five infill and step out holes were drilled underground
during the first quarter of 2018 on the C-Block zone of PQ Deeps. Drilling has now tested a 150 m down plunge extension from
the 2017 mineral reserve cut-off point, with a further 1,100 m strike distance remaining to be fully explored towards the north
shore intercepts reported in 2017. Gold assays continued to return encouraging results, comprising wide mineralized intercepts
in the synform closure of the PQ limb fold. Drilling is nearing completion, following which, mine development will move forward
to prepare drill platforms for future down-plunge step-out and mineral resource definition drilling. Highlight drill intercepts
A selection of drill intercepts are summarized in Table 11 of the appendix, with comprehensive drill assays provided at the link
below.
Nine infill holes were completed at the Lynx North zone during
the first quarter. Drilling is now focussed on evaluating a 300 m down plunge extension of mineralization. A step out
drill hole located 350 m down plunge confirmed the potential of this zone, returning a true width intersection of 7.40 g/t gold
over 4.7 m (18-PQE-011).
The Redwing geological model was also completed during the
first quarter of 2018. The Redwing-Thunder Wolves–Southern Ironstone Formation ("SIF") stratigraphic horizon
offers the potential for over 3 km of continuous mineralization close to existing underground development on the northeast limb
of the main Musselwhite Synform. The Redwing portion of this horizon has now been defined over a plunge extent of 600 m.
Underground development is now in progress to open up additional mining fronts and exploration drill platforms. In addition
eight drillholes targeting the Lynx North zone were extended to intersect the deeper SIF horizon. Approximately 3 km down
plunge from previous drilling, drill hole 17-LNX-106 returned 5.0 m at 7.35 g/t gold thereby confirming the geological model and
plunge continuity. Further drilling is planned on this high priority mineralized structure.
Musselwhite regional exploration focused on geological
modelling of the Karl Zeemal target, located 8 km southeast of the Musselwhite mine, during the first quarter of 2018. Work
comprised relogging and re-assaying of the historic drill core. An updated geological estimate is in progress ahead of a Phase
1 drill campaign, scheduled for the second quarter of 2018, pending receipt of all regulatory permits for trail construction.
Drilling positioned from the north shore of Opapamiskin Lake,
targeting the deep down-plunge extensions of the Musselwhite mine trend, will re-commence during the second quarter of 2018.
This program will target both the PQ Deeps and the West Limb structural/stratigraphic positions. The PQ Deeps drilling will
step north to follow up on, and extend, the results from the 2017 program. The West Limb drilling will step 1 km north from
the previous most northerly section of known West Limb mineralization.
Review of three historical zones, West Anticline, Camp and
Bay, has also begun. These areas of mineralization are located within a 1.5 km corridor, to the west of current mine infrastructure
under Opapamiskin Lake. All three zones are hosted in recumbent folds of banded, chert magnetite iron formation. The
Camp/Bay areas will be tested with underground drilling during the third quarter of 2018, and the down-plunge extension of the
West Anticline will be tested from the ice during the first quarter of 2019.
Regional geologic data compilation and targeting on the Company's
landholding in the North Caribou Greenstone Belt is underway. The 2018 field program will consist of mapping and prospecting
with rock and soil sampling.

Coffee Camp
During the first quarter of 2018, the Coffee (100%
owned, Canada) exploration team prepared to execute an exploration budget of $11.4 million for 2018. Drilling activities recommenced
in early March with two RC drills currently operating on the property. The 2018 program will continue to explore a portfolio
of near-surface, oxide gold targets ranging from those within the planned mine footprint to new grassroots targets, and infill
drilling to potentially upgrade select portions of the inferred mineral resources to the indicated mineral resource classification
(Figure 12).
In 2017 Goldcorp completed its first full season of drilling
at Coffee, which resulted in the upgrade of the Latte open pit mineral resources from indicated to measured classification, and
the discovery of new 'satellite' open pit opportunities where follow-up exploration included step-out and infill drilling to generate
new mineral resource estimates. The five new deposits delineated from the 2017 drilling are Arabica, Supremo T8-9 and Supremiato
(which were included in the June 30, 2017 mineral resource update published October 25, 2017), and new discoveries at Amerikona
and Decaf which were modelled following conclusion of the 2017 drilling season. In addition, 2017 infill drilling at Kona
North, which lies along strike and connects with Amerikona, is included in this updated Coffee mineral resource, now upgraded to
predominantly indicated resources. The new deposits added in 2017, along with the Kona North infill drilling, generated a mineral
resource estimate of 4.65 Mt at 1.17 g/t gold for 180,000 ounces indicated and 9.6 Mt at 0.99 g/t gold for 300,000 ounces inferred
(all mineral resources contained within a $1,400/oz pit shell, compared to $1,500/oz in the previous resource estimate).
All new deposits comprise predominantly near surface oxide mineralization potentially amenable for future open pit extraction,
and remain the target of ongoing evaluation for mineral resource expansion along strike in 2018.

Project, effective April 25, 2018, including new mineral resource additions from 2017 drilling programs, constrained to $1,400/oz
open pit shell.

Notes: |
|
1) |
*Table contains maiden mineral resource estimates for Amerikona and Decaf. |
2) |
Coffee mineral resources are exclusive of mineral reserves; Coffee Probable Mineral Reserve as of 30 June 2017 totals 46.36Mt at 1.45g/t Au for 2.16Moz gold (published October 25, 2017). |
3) |
Mineral resources for Latte, Supremo, Double Double, Kona, Arabica, Decaf, Supremo T8-9 and Supremiato were estimated by Robert Sim, P.Geo., an external consultant and Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101. |
4) |
Mineral resources for Amerikona/Kona North were estimated by Erik Scheel P.Geo., Senior Geologist at Goldcorp and Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101. |
5) |
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource estimate will be converted into mineral reserves. |
6) |
All tonnes and ounces in figures in Table 12 have been rounded to the nearest thousand to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. |
The Coffee mineral reserve and mineral resource estimate will
again be updated in the third quarter of 2018. Geological re-interpretation and infill drilling is currently underway at
the Supremo deposit to provide additional confidence in the distribution and continuity of high grade breccia zones and classification
of the mineral reserves.
Exploration for additional mineral resources at Coffee will
continue to focus on defining and extending the new oxide mineralized zones discovered in West Coffee during 2017, including the
Amerikona zone which lies on the 4 km strike length Americano to Kona North structural corridor.
Generative exploration planned for 2018 over Coffee, in addition
to systematic VLF-EM surveying, will include up to 10,000 soil samples to follow-up on and expand new gold-in-soil anomalies which
were identified from the 2017 soil sampling program. Only approximately 30% of the Coffee property has been systematically
sampled, and soil sampling remains the primary tool in delineating zones of subsurface bedrock mineralization.
In addition to the focus on near surface open pit extractable
oxide gold mineralization, the Coffee team will also continue to test the down-dip potential of the mineral system. A single
diamond core drill hole, CFD701, which stepped-out 250 m down-dip beneath the Supremo T3 deposit in 2017, returned 3.16 g/t gold
over 12 m downhole width, with intersected mineralization completely oxidized at 450m vertical depth below surface (Figure 13).
Additional drilling is planned to continue exploration for high grade plunging mineralized shoots, and to determine the depth profile
of oxidation along strike on the T3 structure.

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, the future price of gold, silver, zinc,
copper and lead, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing
and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, targeted cost reductions, capital expenditures, free cash flow,
costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting and certification time lines,
hedging practices, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations,
environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, health, safety and diversity initiatives, timing and possible outcome
of pending litigation, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, these forward-looking statements
can be identified by the use of words 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", "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 Goldcorp's 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, gold price volatility, discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and mineral
resources and metallurgical recoveries, mining operational and development risks, litigation 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, expropriation or nationalization of property
and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Chile or other
jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry on business in the future, delays, suspension and technical challenges associated
with capital projects, higher prices for fuel, steel, power, labour and other consumables, currency fluctuations, the speculative
nature of gold exploration, the global economic climate, dilution, share price volatility, competition, loss of key employees,
additional funding requirements and defective title to mineral claims or property. 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: future prices of gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead; mine development and operating risks; possible variations in ore reserves,
grade or recovery rates; risks related to international operations, including economic and political instability in foreign jurisdictions
in which Goldcorp operates; risks related to current global financial conditions; risks related to joint venture operations; actual
results of current exploration activities; actual results of current reclamation activities; environmental risks; conclusions of
economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; failure of plant, equipment or processes to
operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; risks associated with restructuring
and cost-efficiency initiatives; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or
construction activities; risks related to the integration of acquisitions; 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

Cautionary Note Regarding Reserves and Resources:
All Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources have been estimated
in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") and NI 43-101,
or the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves equivalent ("JORC").
All Mineral Resources are reported exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability. Information on data verification performed on the mineral properties mentioned in this table that are considered
to be material mineral properties to the Company are contained in Goldcorp's annual information form for the year ended December
31, 2017 and the current technical report for each of those properties, all available at www.sedar.com. The Mineral Resource and
Mineral Reserve estimates contained in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities
laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws and uses terms that are not recognized by the SEC. Canadian
reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by the Canadian Securities Administrators' NI 43-101.
The definitions used in NI 43-101 are incorporated by reference from the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
("CIM") — Definition Standards adopted by CIM Council on May 10, 2014 (the "CIM Definition Standards").
U.S. reporting requirements are governed by the SEC Industry Guide 7 ("Industry Guide 7") under the United States Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence
in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. For example, the terms "Mineral Reserve",
"Proven Mineral Reserve" and "Probable Mineral Reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in NI 43-101,
and these definitions differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7. Under Industry Guide 7 standards, a "final" or
"bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be
filed with the appropriate governmental authority. Further, under Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve"
unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time
the reserve determination is made. While the terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated
Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101, these
terms are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements
filed with the SEC. United States readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories
will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as
to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. A significant amount of exploration must be completed in order to
determine whether an Inferred Mineral Resource may be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian regulations, estimates of Inferred
Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. United States readers
are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.
Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations if such disclosure
includes the grade or quality and the quantity for each category of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve; however, the SEC normally
only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage
and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information contained in this presentation containing descriptions
of the Company's mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to
the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
