FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”). Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, hedging practices, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, 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 forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other 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 integration of acquisitions; risks related to international operations; risks related to joint venture operations; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of current reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; 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; accidents, labour disputes; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities and other risks of the mining industry, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Description of the Business – Risk Factors” in Goldcorp’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2012 available at www.sedar.com. 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. Goldcorp does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are included in this document, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. All amounts are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Peak Gold Discoveries peaked in 1995

4

• Peak gold discovery occurred in 1995 at ~175 million ounces • Annual discoveries have fallen to less than 50 million ounces in recent years • This trend is in spite of much higher exploration budgets

Peak Gold Development time is approaching 20 years

5

• Average development times have been steadily increasing • In the next few years average development time is expected to be ~20 years

• Increased environmental regulation, social obligation and land-use restrictions have contributed to longer lead times

Average Development Time (Discovery to Production)

~20 Years (recent average)

10 Year Price Performance

• Rising costs and compressed margins led to lower cash flow than expected

Page 11: Melbourne Mining Club - Luncheon

The Gold Sector

What will we do differently this time?

11

Exercise financial discipline: • Cost control • Deferral of marginal new projects and expansions • Generate Free Cash Flow • Smart allocation of Free Cash Flow:

• Sustainable dividends • High-return new projects

Understand the investment proposition: • Investors expect leverage to gold price • Do not allow marginal production increases to destroy the margin growth

expected with gold price increase

All-in Sustaining Costs and Margins

Costs have risen in proportion to the gold price

• Lower grades in response to higher gold price lead to lower margins • The example below increases throughput and production but actually lowers margin
