Over the remainder of 2012, the Company will continue to
evaluate the impact on
Red Lake's long-term production profile of timing issues in
accessing High Grade Zone reserves as well as continued grade
variability in the Footwall Zone.

Until further study of these issues has advanced, the range of
production expectations for Red Lake beyond the current year
should reflect production similar to the range provided for
2012 of between 460,000 and 510,000 ounces.
During the first half of 2012 gold production was
218,200 ounces at cash costs of $568 per ounce and
the mine remains on track to achieve 2012 production guidance.

Extending the High Grade Zone

During the second quarter of 2012, successful drilling results continued from Red Lake's 4199 exploration ramp.
Numerous intercepts have confirmed the extension of consistent high grade mineralization between levels 52 and 55.
Drilling is also indicating the presence of high grade intercepts deeper at the 57 level.

Exploration of New Zone

New drill results in an unexplored area west of the High Grade Zone have outlined a new zone above the 52 level, which remains open vertically and to the west.
As a result of the success of this drilling an exploration drift is being developed near the 47 level to access to allow for better drilling of this new structure.
This area will be a focus of drilling over the remainder of the year as it has the potential to increase mining flexibility due to proximity to existing infrastructure.

Cochenour - Construction and Development Progressing



A key component of the Company's overall optimization plan to
sustain the Red Lake operation is the development of the
Cochenour project.

Located five kilometers from the Red Lake gold mine, the
Cochenour project has continued to advance.

Widening of the historical Cochenour shaft has reached 108
metres to a total depth of 342 metres.

The five kilometer haulage drift that will transport ore from
the Bruce Channel to Red Lake's existing Campbell milling
facilities has advanced to 57% completion.
Progress has advanced as expected and is on track to be 66%
complete by year-end.

A study of the overall project, which will provide updated
project costs and timing of first gold, is currently underway
and expected to be complete in the third quarter.
The study incorporates changes in the mine design and
development resulting from exploration results obtained
over the past two years.

Red Lake

Red Lake Gold Mines (RLGM) is composed of two operating
complexes: the Red Lake and the Campbell Complex.
Situated in one of the world's most prolific gold producing
regions, RLGM has produced 20 million ounces since 1949 and it
continues to be one of the highest-grade gold mines and lowest
cost producers in the world.
RLGM is also the largest gold mine in Canada.
The High Grade Zone alone has averaged more than
two ounces of gold per ton.

Cochenour

The Cochenour Project combines the existing workings of the
historic Cochenour mine with the Bruce Channel gold discovery.
The Cochenour/Bruce Channel deposit is located down dip from
the historic Cochenour mine and is a key component of
Goldcorp's consolidation plans in the Red Lake district.

Goldcorp is one of the world's fastest growing senior gold
producers.
Its low-cost gold production is located in safe jurisdictions
in the Americas and remains 100% unhedged.
