Toronto Stock Exchange: G New York Stock Exchange: GG Goldcorp Announces First Production Of Concentrates At Penasquito Mine VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, OCTOBER 13, 2009 � GOLDCORP INC.

(TSX: G, NYSE: GG) today announced that the first lead and zinc concentrates have been produced at its new Pe�asquito mine in Mexico.

Throughout its mine life Pe�asquito will produce both lead and zinc concentrates, with most of the gold and silver production coming from the lead concentrates.

Initial concentrates have been produced as a by-product of the commissioning process and currently total approximately 450 tonnes of lead concentrate and 50 tonnes of zinc concentrate as the zinc circuit was started more recently.

Ongoing concentrate production is planned during the remaining commissioning phase through year-end 2009, with the first shipments to smelters planned for later in the year as saleable quantities are accumulated.

Assays of the initial material indicate that the concentrate grades, recoveries and concentrate quality are well within expected ranges. All components of the Penasquito operation � from the mine to the crusher, to the grinding mills, flotation cells, concentrate filters and on to the tailings facilities � have now been operated and commissioning and initial ramp-up is proceeding as expected.

Overall, progress at the mine remains on track for completion of commissioning for the Line 1 processing circuit by year-end.

�We are very pleased with these initial results.

The first production of concentrate represents another important milestone in the development of Pe�asquito,� said Steve Reid, Goldcorp�s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

�The team at Pe�asquito has performed extremely well as we move through the commissioning process of the Line 1 milling circuit towards commercial operation and construction of Line 2 is proceeding well and also remains on schedule.� Goldcorp will provide an update as to commissioning progress along with the particulars of the updated Penasquito mine plan along with its 3rd quarter financial results on November 4, 2009.

Goldcorp is North America�s lowest-cost and fastest growing senior gold producer.

Its gold production is located in safe jurisdictions in the Americas and remains 100% unhedged.
