VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/04/08 -- GOLDCORP INC. (TSX: G)(NYSE: GG) today announced that the Marlin mine in Guatemala has experienced power interruptions as a result of tampering with lines supplying power to the mine site, resulting in periodic idling of the mill facility. Mining activities at the underground and open pit have been largely unaffected and ore continues to be stockpiled on site.

The interference with the operation of the power line is being carried out by a landowner with whom Goldcorp has an existing right-of-way agreement since 2004. The agreement provides monetary compensation in exchange for access for the passage and proper maintenance of the power line. In keeping with its commitment to the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, Goldcorp has made extensive efforts to work cooperatively with the landowner, including a provision for additional compensation as requested, attempts to re-route power lines and through mediation with the third party independent Human Rights Ombudsman for Guatemala. Goldcorp continues to seek an equitable solution and is working with local and national officials in Guatemala to resolve this issue as quickly and fairly as possible.

Goldcorp's primary concern is for the safety of the residents, its employees and other individuals in the vicinity of the power line's route. The 69 Kv line carries electrical loads that can result in fire, severe injuries and death in the event of improper contact. Unplanned power outages at the mine site can also have severe safety consequences for Goldcorp employees.

About Marlin Mine

Marlin mine is expected to produce approximately 250,000 ounces of gold per year and approximately 4 million ounces of silver per year over its mine life. Goldcorp is the largest single employer in the region, employing over 800 Guatemalans and paying among the highest wages in the country. On average, the mine generates weekly tax receipts to the Guatemalan government of approximately US$355,000. In addition, weekly royalty receipts of approximately US$78,000 are split equally between the Guatemalan government and the local municipality of San Miguel Ixtahuacan. For San Miguel Ixtahuacan, receipt of royalty payments has resulted in substantial infrastructure improvements in the area, including roads, public works, and reliable power. Tax and royalty payments have been delayed as a result of the power issue. For more information on Goldcorp's community relations activities in Guatemala, please visit the website at www.goldcorp.com.

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