VANCOUVER, Aug. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - GOLDCORP INC.
(TSX: G, NYSE: GG) is pleased to announce that its Board of
Directors declared a third quarterly dividend for 2018 of
$0.02 per share. Shareholders

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Goldcorp has a Dividend
Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") in place. For the purposes of the
quarterly dividend, the Company has elected to issue common shares
under the DRIP through treasury at a 3% discount to the Average
Market Price. Dividends are only payable as and when declared
by Goldcorp's Board of Directors and there is no entitlement to any
dividend prior thereto. Goldcorp may, from time to time, at
its discretion, change or eliminate the discount applicable to
treasury acquisitions or direct that such common shares be
purchased in market acquisitions at the prevailing market price,
any of which would be publicly announced. Participation in
the DRIP is optional and will not affect shareholders' cash
dividends unless they elect to participate in the DRIP.
Participation in the DRIP is open to all registered and beneficial
shareholders in Canada and the
United States. Shareholders that are resident in
jurisdictions other than Canada
and the United States may also
participate in the DRIP, subject to any restrictions of laws in
such shareholder's jurisdiction of residence.
The DRIP and enrollment forms are available on the Company's
website, www.goldcorp.com, in the "Investor â Information for
Shareholders" section under "Information about Dividends".
Registered shareholders may also enroll in the DRIP online
through the plan agent's self-service web portal at the following
link: DRIP Online Enrollment
All shareholders considering enrollment in the DRIP should
carefully review the terms of the DRIP and consult with their
advisors as to the implications of enrollment in the DRIP.

an offer of securities. Goldcorp has filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form
Fâ3 dated October 9, 2015 and a
related prospectus dated May 5, 2016
