VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 2, 2010) - GOLDCORP INC. (TSX:G)(NYSE:GG) announced today that the Musselwhite mine, located in north-western Ontario, Canada, has become the first gold mining operation in Canada to be fully certified under the International Cyanide Management Code for the Manufacture, Transport and Use of Cyanide in the Production of Gold ("the Cyanide Code"). Musselwhite mine is an underground gold mine that produces approximately a quarter-million ounces of gold annually.

The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry program for companies involved in the production of gold using cyanide. It was developed under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme with the goal of safeguarding human health and the environment by promoting responsible management of cyanide used in gold mining.

The Company also announced today that Marigold mine in Nevada has been re-certified under the Cyanide Code. Marigold is the first gold mine to undergo a second triennial Code audit and be found in full compliance. In 2007, Marigold became the first gold mining operation in the world to be fully certified. Along with Musselwhite and Marigold, Goldcorp's El Sauzal mine in Mexico and Marlin mine in Guatemala have also been fully certified.

"Our highest priority is the health and safety of our employees and of the communities in which we operate," said Chuck Jeannes, Goldcorp Chief Executive Officer. "The certification of Musselwhite mine is another positive step forward in Goldcorp's commitment to environmental stewardship and operating all of its mines responsibly and to the highest international standards."

Goldcorp is the lowest-cost and fastest growing multi-million ounce gold producer with operations throughout the Americas. Its gold production remains 100% unhedged.
