Wheaton Shareholders Urged to Tender Today; Goldcorp Shareholders Approve Wheaton Transaction, Glamis Walks Away

Vancouver, British Columbia: February 10, 2005 -- Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. (TSX:WRM) (AMEX:WHT) is pleased to announce that Goldcorp shareholders approved by a decisive margin the Goldcorp/Wheaton River transaction at a shareholder meeting held this morning. More than 65% of the votes cast by Goldcorp shareholders at the meeting were in favour of the Goldcorp/Wheaton River transaction.

Following the meeting, Glamis Gold Ltd. announced that it intends to allow its offer for Goldcorp shares to expire without acquiring any Goldcorp shares. Glamis' offer for Goldcorp was conditional upon the Goldcorp shareholders rejecting the Goldcorp/Wheaton River transaction. Given the overwhelming positive results of the Goldcorp shareholder meeting earlier today, this condition cannot be satisfied.

Ian Telfer, Chairman and CEO of Wheaton River, said "We are thrilled that Goldcorp shareholders approved our transaction. We now urge our shareholders to tender their shares to the Goldcorp offer to take advantage of this unique opportunity to create the lowest cost million ounce gold producer, with world class assets and a strong balance sheet".

The board of directors of Wheaton River continues to recommend that Wheaton River shareholders accept the Goldcorp offer. Wheaton River urges its shareholders to TENDER THEIR SHARES TO THE GOLDCORP OFFER TODAY.

THE DEADLINE FOR TENDERING YOUR SHARES IS 5:00 PM (VANCOUVER TIME) ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2005.

Shareholders with questions about how to tender their shares may call the depositary as follows:
