UNDERTAKINGS

     The Registrant undertakes to make available, in person or by telephone, representatives to respond to inquiries made by the Commission staff, and to furnish promptly, when requested to do so by the Commission staff, information relating to: the securities registered pursuant to Form 40-F; the securities in relation to which the obligation to file an annual report on Form 40-F arises; or to transactions in said securities.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     The Registrant carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant’s management, including the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

     Brian W. Jones, an independent director, serves as a member of the audit committee of the Registrant’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has reviewed the definition of “audit committee financial expert” under item 8(a) of General Instruction B to Form 40-F and determined that Mr. Jones satisfies the criteria for an audit committee financial expert under the Exchange Act. The Commission has indicated that the designation of Mr. Jones as an audit committee financial expert does not make Mr. Jones an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on Mr. Jones that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and Board of Directors who do not carry this designation or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee.

CODE OF ETHICS

     The Registrant is in the process of adopting a code of ethics which will apply to the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Once finalized and approved, a copy of the Registrant’s code of ethics will be posted on the Registrant’s web-site at www.goldcorp.com, filed with the Commission and will be provided to any person without charge, upon request.

Audit Fees

     These audit fees were for professional services rendered for the audits of the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements, review of interim financial statements included in the Registrant’s quarterly reports and services that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably provide, such as comfort letters, statutory audits, consents, and assistance and review of documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

Audit-Related Fees

     These audit-related fees were for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under the “audit fees” category above. These services included comfort letters and consents related to securities registration statements and other capital raising activities, reports relating to the Registrant’s regulatory filings, reports relating to the Registrant’s compliance with provisions of or calculations required by agreements and due diligence pertaining to acquisitions.

Tax Fees

     These tax fees were for tax compliance and tax advice. These services included assistance with tax audits and advisory services regarding restructurings, mergers and acquisitions.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

     The Registrant’s audit committee is responsible for overseeing the work of the independent auditors and has considered whether the provision of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence. The audit committee charter requires the pre-approval by the committee of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors and no work is done without such pre-approval. The Registrant’s senior management periodically provides the audit committee with a summary of services provided by the independent auditors.
