OREANDA-NEWS. GOLDCORP INC. (TSX: G, NYSE: GG) today announced that the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") has been implemented.  The adoption of the DRIP will offer shareholders an opportunity to increase their investment in Goldcorp without additional transaction costs by receiving dividend payments in the form of common shares of the Company without paying brokerage commissions, administrative costs or other service charges. 

The DRIP allows shareholders to reinvest their cash dividends into additional common shares issued from treasury at a 3% percent discount to the Average Market Price (as defined in the DRIP).  Participation in the DRIP is optional and will not affect shareholders' cash dividends unless they elect to participate in the DRIP.  Participation in the DRIP is open to all registered and beneficial shareholders in Canada and the United States.  Shareholders that are resident in jurisdictions other than Canada and the United States may also participate in the DRIP, subject to any restrictions of laws in such shareholder's jurisdiction of residence.  Dividends are only payable as and when declared by Goldcorp's Board of Directors and there is no entitlement to any dividend prior thereto. The Company may, from time to time, in its discretion, change or eliminate the discount applicable to treasury acquisitions or direct that such common shares be purchased in market acquisitions at the prevailing market price, any of which would be publicly announced.
