Presentación
El Centro Nacional de Evaluación para la Educación Superior, A.C. (Ceneval) es una asociación civil que ofrece, desde 1994,
servicios de evaluación a cientos de escuelas, universidades, empresas, autoridades educativas, organizaciones de profesionales
del país y de otras instancias particulares y gubernamentales. Su actividad principal es el diseño y la aplicación de instrumentos
de evaluación. Su misión consiste en proveer información confiable sobre los aprendizajes que logran los estudiantes de distintos
niveles educativos.
En el terreno de la educación, como en todas las actividades humanas, la evaluación es el proceso que permite valorar los
aciertos, reconocer las fallas y detectar potencialidades. Contar con información válida y confiable garantiza tomar decisiones
acertadas.
Esta guía está dirigida a quienes sustentarán el Examen General para el Egreso de la Licenciatura en Contaduría (EGEL-
CONTA). Su propósito es ofrecer información, que permita a los sustentantes, familiarizarse con las principales características del
examen, los contenidos que se evalúan, el tipo de preguntas (reactivos) que encontrarán en el examen, así como con algunas
sugerencias de estudio y de preparación para presentar el examen.
Se recomienda al sustentante revisar con detenimiento la guía completa y recurrir a ella de manera permanente durante su
preparación o para aclarar cualquier duda sobre aspectos académicos, administrativos o logísticos en la presentación del EGEL-
CONTA.
El EGEL-CONTA tiene como propósito identificar que los egresados de la licenciatura en Contaduría que presentan el examen
cuentan con los conocimientos y habilidades necesarios para iniciarse eficazmente en el ejercicio de la profesión. La información
que ofrece permite al sustentante:
Conocer el resultado de la evaluación en cada área del examen, por lo que puede ubicar aquéllas

ejercicio profesional, mediante elementos válidos, confiables y objetivos de juicio, para contar
con personal de calidad profesional, acorde con las necesidades nacionales.
Está dirigido a los egresados de la licenciatura en Contaduría, que hayan cubierto el 100% de los créditos, estén o no titulados
y, en su caso, a estudiantes que cursan el último semestre de la carrera, siempre y cuando la institución formadora así lo solicite.
El EGEL-CONTA se redactó en idioma español, por lo que está dirigido a individuos que puedan realizar esta evaluación con esa
habilidad lingüística. Los sustentantes con necesidades físicas especiales serán atendidos en función de su requerimiento
especial.
Con el propósito de asegurar la pertinencia y validez de los instrumentos de evaluación, el Ceneval se apoya en Consejos
Técnicos, integrados por expertos en las diferentes áreas que conforman la profesión, los cuales representan a diferentes
instituciones educativas, colegios o asociaciones de profesionistas, instancias empleadoras del sector público, del sector privado
o de carácter independiente. Estos consejos técnicos funcionan a partir de un reglamento y se renuevan periódicamente.

13.- GAAP
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Los US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) son los principios de contabilidad
generalmente aceptados, usados por las compañías de los Estados Unidos o que cotizan en Wall
Street. Abarcan un volumen masivo de estándares, interpretaciones, opiniones y boletines y son
elaborados por el FASB (Directorio de Estándares de Contabilidad Financiera o Junta de Normas
de Contabilidad Financiera), por el gremio contable (el Instituto Estadounidense de Contadores
Públicos Certificados (AICPA) y la Comisión de Valores y Bolsa (SEC, siglas en inglés de Securities
and Exchange Commission).
Se trata de una combinación de normas autorizadas por organizaciones reguladoras y maneras
aceptadas de llevar la contabilidad. Existen muchas similitudes entre los GAAP de Estados
Unidos (US GAAP) y las NIIF en cuanto a la presentación del estado financiero. Por ejemplo,
según ambos marcos, los componentes de una serie completa de estados financieros
incluyen: balance general, estado de resultados, otra base general de ingresos (OCI, por sus
siglas en inglés) para US GAAP o el estado de ingresos y gastos reconocidos (SORIE, por sus siglas
en inglés) para los NIIF. Además, los dos marcos requieren, salvo circunstancias excepcionales,
que los estados financieros se elaboren según la base contable de causación (con excepción
del estado de flujos de efectivo). Los dos GAAP tienen conceptos similares respecto a los
requisitos sobre materialidad y coherencia que las entidades deben considerar al elaborar sus
estados financieros.
Los USGAAP son el equivalente estadounidense de las Normas Internacionales de Información
Financiera. Son muy detallados, y reflejan el ambiente de litigio que impera en los Estados
Unidos, que obliga a una regulación cada vez más detallada. Los USGAAP no pueden desviarse
de la intraversión reguladora de la SEC.

first full year under the direction of CEO David Garofalo and his new leadership team, strong 2017 results
demonstrated that the company’s strategy is paying off.
We realigned our portfolio, divested non−core assets and redeployed that capital into longer term opportunities that
will further the profitability of our business for many years. It was also the first year of our 5−year 20/20/20 plan to
grow production and reserves by 20%, while reducing all in sustaining costs per ounce by 20%. We met our clearly
defined objectives across the board, achieving our production and all−in sustaining cost guidance, while hitting
significant project milestones. While we take pride in having achieved those milestones, we have much more work
to do in the next four years.
Goldcorp is generating strong cash flow from core assets while maintaining the highest rated balance sheet in the
industry. We are driving towards zero net debt and focused on de−leveraging before the next cycle of capital
investments in order to position ourselves for outperformance.
At our Investor Day earlier this year, we introduced ‘Beyond 20/20’, which outlines our longer−term opportunities for
organic growth, beyond our 5−year plan. In an industry with declining reserves and production, our focus remains on
growing net asset value per share through the optimization of our current asset base, driving innovation, brownfield
exploration programs, and through the development of our strong project pipeline.
Gold producers have had to learn how to operate in an environment that can be quite volatile. For those with leverage
and liquidity concerns, it can be difficult to focus on the long term. Our financial discipline and rigorous capital
allocation processes have allowed us to take a longer−term view and be counter−cyclical by investing when others are
not, positioning ourselves to capitalize as gold price appreciates.
2018 is another catalyst−rich year as we continue to execute on our 20/20/20 objectives and advance our project
pipeline. We have now delivered six consecutive quarters of consistent and on−target low cost production and building
on strong 2017 results, we plan to take this momentum into 2018 and maintain our focus on execution.
Lastly, our commitments to sustainability excellence, responsible mining and creating sustainable value for all our
stakeholders are fundamental operating principles embedded in everything we do. It starts when the first exploration
teams take the time and care to consult with communities and establish a spirit of openness, transparency and trust.
In recent years, we have also taken a leadership position to advance innovative technologies and at the same time
address growing environmental and social challenges faced by our industry. An example of these initiatives has been
the launch of our “Towards Zero Water” initiative. It is not yet possible to achieve 100% recycling and re−use of water
with current technology but we are dedicating considerable scientific resources to the challenge of reducing our water
consumption toward that goal. This is a daunting challenge and a strong message to send to our communities and our
peers. Improved stewardship of water resources will have many benefits to all involved and it’s simply the right thing
to do.
I extend my sincerest thanks to all our shareholders for your support and trust as we prepare for the next phase of
growth. We look forward to updating you on our progress throughout the year.
Ian Telfer

of new information, future events or otherwise,
except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
This MD&A presents certain measures, including "total cash costs: by-product", "total cash costs: co-product", "all-in sustaining costs",
"adjusted operating cash flow"’, "EBITDA", "adjusted EBITDA" and "adjusted net debt", that are not recognized measures under IFRS.
This data may not be comparable to data presented by other gold producers. For a reconciliation of these measures to the most
directly comparable financial information presented in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, see
Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures in this MD&A. The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures
are realistic indicators of operating performance and are useful in performing year over year comparisons. However, these non-GAAP
measures should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS, and these measures, taken by themselves, are
not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. This MD&A also contain
GOLDCORP | 3
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
information as to estimated future all-in sustaining costs. The estimates ofwhere future all-in sustaining costs are not based on total
noted)
production cash costs calculated in accordance with IFRS, which forms the basis of the Company’s cash costs: by-product. The estimates
of future all-in sustaining costs are anticipated to be adjusted to include sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administrative
expense, exploration and evaluation costs and reclamation cost accretion and amortization, and exclude the effects of expansionary
capital, tax payments, dividends and financing costs. Projected IFRS total production cash costs for the full year would require inclusion
of the projected impact of future included and excluded items, including items that are not currently determinable, but may be
significant, such as sustaining capital expenditures, reclamation cost accretion and amortization and tax payments. Due to the uncertainty
of the likelihood, amount and timing of any such items, the Company does not have information available to provide a quantitative
reconciliation of projected all-in sustaining costs to a total production cash costs projection.
Scientific and technical information contained in this MD&A relating to Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources was reviewed and
approved by Ivan Mullany, FAusIMM, Senior-Vice President, Technical Services for Goldcorp, and a "qualified person" as defined by
Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
Scientific and technical information in this MD&A relating to exploration results was reviewed and approved by Sally Goodman, PhD,
P.Geo., Director, Generative Geology for Goldcorp, and a "qualified person" as defined by NI 43-101. All Mineral Reserves and Mineral
Resources have been estimated in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
("CIM") and NI 43-101, or the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves equivalent.
All Mineral Resources are reported exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability. Information on data verification performed on the mineral properties mentioned in this MD&A
that are considered to be material mineral properties to the Company are contained in Goldcorp’s most recent annual information form
and the current technical report for each of those properties, all available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Cautionary Note to United States investors concerning estimates of measured, indicated and inferred resources: The Mineral Resource and
Mineral Reserve estimates contained in this MD&A have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities
laws , which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws and use terms that are not recognized by the SEC. Canadian
reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by NI 43-101. The definitions used in NI 43-101 are
incorporated by reference from the CIM Definition Standards adopted by CIM Council on May 10, 2014 (the "CIM Definition Standards").
U.S. reporting requirements are governed by the SEC Industry Guide 7 ("Industry Guide 7") under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended. These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the
disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. For example, the terms "Mineral Reserve", "Proven
Mineral Reserve" and "Probable Mineral Reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in in NI 43-101, and these definitions differ
from the definitions in Industry Guide 7. Under Industry Guide 7 standards, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report
reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. Further, under
Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization
could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.
While the terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource"
are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101, these terms are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and are normally
not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. United States readers are cautioned not to
assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "Inferred Mineral
Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. A significant amount of
exploration must be completed in order to determine whether an Inferred Mineral Resource may be upgraded to a higher category.
Under Canadian regulations, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre- feasibility studies,
except in rare cases. United States readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists or is
economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations if
such disclosure includes the grade or quality and the quantity for each category of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve; however, the
SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage
and grade without reference to unit measures.
Accordingly, information contained in this MD&A containing descriptions of Goldcorp’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar
information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Net earnings were $658 million, or $0.76 per share, compared to net earnings of $162
million, or $0.19 per share, for 2016. Operating cash flows for 2017 were $1.2 billion
compared to $0.8 billion for 2016. Adjusted operating cash flows(1) were
$1.3 billion for 2017 compared to $1.2 billion for 2016.
Gold production of 2.6 million ounces at all-in sustaining costs(1) ("AISC") of $824 per ounce, compared to 2.9 million
ounces at AISC of $856 per ounce for 2016. Gold production in 2017 exceeded the midpoint of the Company's gold
production guidance of 2.5 million ounces, while AISC for 2017 of $824 per ounce was in line with the Company's
improved midpoint guidance of $825(2) per ounce, reflecting the progress the Company has made on its cost efficiency
program.
Program to implement $250 million of sustainable annual efficiencies by the middle of 2018 is on track with nearly
$200 million achieved in 2017 across the Company's portfolio. More than 100% of the $250 million of efficiencies have
been identified, with the program likely to be extended and the efficiency target increased, after the Company achieves
its current target.
Solid reserve growth and project execution enhances confidence in the Company's 20/20/20 growth plan. An increase
in proven and probable gold reserves to 53.5 million ounces, plus strong project delivery of expansions at Peñasquito,
Musselwhite and Porcupine underpin our plan for a 20% increase in gold production, a 20% increase in gold reserves
and a 20% reduction in AISC by 2021, while delivering increasing cash flows over the next four years. The Company also
launched 'Beyond 20/20', investing in its long-term portfolio, including the NuevaUnión and Norte Abierto projects, to
continue to grow low-cost gold production from the Company's growing gold mineral reserves.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Goldcorp is a leading gold producer focused on responsible mining practices, with production from a portfolio of long-life, high quality assets
throughout the Americas that it believes position the Company to deliver long-term value.
The Company’s principal producing mining properties are comprised of the Éléonore, Musselwhite, Porcupine and Red Lake mines in Canada;
the Peñasquito mine in Mexico; the Cerro Negro mine in Argentina; and the Pueblo Viejo mine (40.0% interest) in the Dominican Republic.
The Company’s current sources of operating cash flows are primarily from the sale of gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper. Goldcorp's principal
product is refined gold bullion sold primarily in the London spot market. In addition to gold, the Company also produces silver, copper, lead and
zinc primarily from concentrate produced at the Peñasquito mine, which is sold to third party smelters and refineries.
Goldcorp has an investment-grade credit rating, supported by a strong balance sheet, and remains 100% unhedged to gold sales, providing full
exposure to gold prices.
STRATEGY
Goldcorp's vision is to create sustainable value for its stakeholders by growing net asset value ("NAV")per share to generate long-term shareholder
value. With a portfolio of large, long-life, high quality assets that provide economies of scale, coupled with low AISC and underpinned by a
strong balance sheet, Goldcorp has optimized its portfolio of assets and is reinvesting in a strong pipeline of organic opportunities to drive
increasing margins and returns on investment.
In 2016, the Company outlined its 20/20/20 growth plan that is expected to deliver a 20% increase in gold production, a 20% increase in gold
reserves and a 20% reduction in AISC by 2021. Goldcorp is also committed to being a responsible steward of the environment and building
collaborative partnerships with communities, governments and all other stakeholders for mutual success.
The Company expects gold production to increase to approximately 3 million ounces by 2021. This is a result of the ramp-up to nameplate
capacity at Cerro Negro and Éléonore, increased grades at Peñasquito following an intensive stripping campaign, the execution of the Pyrite
Leach project at Peñasquito and the Materials Handling project at Musselwhite, and initial production from the Borden and Coffee projects. This
growth profile excludes production potential from the HG Young project at the Red Lake camp, the Century project at the Porcupine camp, the
NuevaUnión and Norte Abierto projects in Chile and brownfield growth.
The Company expects AISC to decrease by 20% to approximately $700 (1) per ounce by 2021, driven by a company-wide program launched in
2016 to drive down costs and deliver productivity improvements which is expected to result in $250 million in annual sustainable efficiencies.
Costs are also expected to decrease as a result of increased metal production, lower sustaining capital expenditures and continued portfolio
optimization.
The Company expects gold mineral reserves to increase by 20% to 60 million ounces by 2021 from the conversion of existing gold mineral
resources at the Century project, Coffee, Cerro Negro, Pueblo Viejo, Norte Abierto and other targets at the Company's extensive and diversified
portfolio of mining camps in the Americas.
The Company is also focused on the potential for organic growth through the development of its long-term portfolio 'Beyond 20/20'. The objective
of Beyond 20/20 is to maximize the NAV of the Company's existing mines and projects by continuing to grow low-cost gold production from
expanding gold mineral reserves through exploration and development.

Goldcorp believes its strong balance sheet provides it flexibility and the ability to manage the risk of gold and commodity price volatility. The
Company's capital allocation strategy focuses on investing in its pipeline of organic growth opportunities, further debt reduction and returning
capital to its shareholders by paying a sustainable dividend. Furthermore, Goldcorp leverages its exploration spending in the most efficient
way possible through small toehold investments in junior mining companies.
2017 ACHIEVEMENTS
The Company executed on its 2017 objectives with positive results, as detailed below:
Portfolio Optimization
Norte Abierto - Acquisition of the Cerro Casale and Caspiche Projects
On June 9, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of a 50% interest in the Cerro Casale project (the "Cerro Casale Transaction"). The
transaction was executed in multiple steps, including the acquisition by Goldcorp of a 25% interest in the Cerro Casale project from each of
Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") and Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick"), which resulted in Barrick and Goldcorp each owning 50% of the
project and subsequently forming a 50/50 joint operation. The Cerro Casale project is located in the Maricunga Gold Belt in the Atacama Region
in northern Chile.
The Company also acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Exeter and its Caspiche project, also located in the Maricunga Gold
Belt. After completing the acquisition of the 100% interest in Exeter, Goldcorp contributed the Caspiche Project into the joint operation with
Barrick, which resulted in a 50% interest held by each of Barrick and Goldcorp in the combined project, Norte Abierto.
• Acquisition of an additional 25% interest in Cerro Casale from Barrick for: (i) a deferred payment obligation of $260 million
to be satisfied through the funding of 100% of the joint operation’s expenditures (as described below); (ii) the
granting of a 1.25% royalty interest to Barrick on 25% of gross revenues derived from metal production from Cerro
Casale and Quebrada Seca; (iii) a contingent payment of $40 million payable after a decision to commence
construction at Cerro Casale; and (iv) the transfer to Barrick of a 50% interest in Quebrada Seca, followed by the joint
contribution by Goldcorp and Barrick of 100% of Quebrada Seca to the joint operation.
GOLDCORP | 8
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
• Acquisition of Exeter and its 100% owned Caspiche Project: under the terms of the supported takeover bid, Exeter
shareholders received 0.12 of a common share of Goldcorp for each Exeter common share held. During the year ended
December 31, 2017, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Exeter for share
consideration of $156 million in Goldcorp common shares.
• Formation of a new 50/50 joint operation with Barrick: The joint operation, Norte Abierto, includes a 100% interest in each
of the Cerro Casale and Quebrada Seca projects. Additionally, the Caspiche project was contributed to the joint operation
after the Company acquired Exeter. 50% of Caspiche’s acquisition cost, or approximately $80 million, has been credited
against Goldcorp’s deferred payment obligation to Barrick. Additionally, Goldcorp will be required to spend a minimum
of $60 million in the two-year period following closing of the Cerro Casale transaction, and a minimum of $80 million in
each successive two-year period until the deferred payment obligation is satisfied, at which point Goldcorp and Barrick
will equally fund requirements of the joint operation. If Goldcorp does not spend the minimum in any two-year period,
Goldcorp will instead be required to make a payment to Barrick equal to 50% of the shortfall, with a corresponding
reduction in the deferred payment obligation.
Goldcorp expects that the joint operation will allow for the consolidation of infrastructure to reduce capital and operating costs, reduce the
environmental footprint and provide increased returns compared to two standalone projects. In June 2017, Goldcorp and Barrick formed a
dedicated project team that will undertake 24 months of concept studies on the combined project, including analysis of synergies and
infrastructure rationalization, in conjunction with community consultation and broad stakeholder engagement.
Divestitures
In 2017, aligned with the Company's strategy to optimize its portfolio through the divestiture of non-core assets and focus on large-scale camps,
Goldcorp completed the sale of its Los Filos Mine in Mexico, its Cerro Blanco project in Guatemala, its Camino Rojo project in Mexico and its
21% interest in the San Nicolas copper-zinc project in Mexico, as described below.
On April 7, 2017, the Company completed the sale of Los Filos to Leagold Mining Corporation (“Leagold”) for total consideration of $350 million,
before working capital adjustments. The consideration was comprised of $71 million of Leagold's issued and outstanding common shares,
$250 million in cash and a $29 million short-term promissory note that was paid in July 2017. Goldcorp also retained rights to certain tax
receivables of approximately $100 million, of which $87 million was collected in 2017 with the balance collected in January 2018. In connection
with the transaction, Goldcorp recognized a net gain of $43 million, consisting of an impairment reversal of $59 million recognized in 2016 and
a subsequent impairment of $16 million recognized in 2017.
On May 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its 100% interest in the Cerro Blanco project to Bluestone Resources Inc. (“Bluestone”)
for total consideration of $22 million, comprised of $18 million in cash and $4 million of Bluestone's issued and outstanding common shares.
Goldcorp will receive an additional $15 million cash payment from Bluestone upon declaration of commercial production at Cerro Blanco and a
1% net smelter return royalty on production. Goldcorp recognized a net gain of $13 million on the transaction, comprised of a reversal of
impairment of $19 million, offset partially by a loss on disposal of $6 million.
On October 18, 2017, the Company sold its 21% interest in the San Nicolas copper-zinc project, a stand-alone project in Mexico, to Teck
Resources Limited for cash consideration of $50 million. Goldcorp recognized a $48 million gain on the sale.
On November 7, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its 100% interest in the Camino Rojo project, part of the Peñasquito segment, to Orla
Mining Ltd. ("Orla"). As consideration, the Company received $34 million in Orla common shares and will receive a 2% net smelter return royalty
on revenues from all metal production from the Camino Rojo oxide project. The Company also has the option to acquire up to 70% interest in
future sulphide projects in the Camino Rojo project area, subject to certain criteria. The value of consideration received was credited to mining
interests associated with Peñasquito, resulting in $nil gain or loss on disposition.

Advanced Project Pipeline
In support of its 20/20/20 growth plan, the Company made progress on its project pipeline in 2017, led by advances in the Pyrite Leach project
("PLP") at Peñasquito. As of December 31, 2017, construction of the PLP was 62% complete and is expected to commence commissioning in
the fourth quarter of 2018, three months ahead of schedule. As of December 31, 2017, the Materials Handling project at Musselwhite was 53%
complete; the project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019, as planned. At Porcupine, the base case pre-feasibility study for
the Century project was completed in 2017 and an inaugural gold mineral reserve estimate of 4.7 million ounces was announced. The Company
also advanced its Borden project where ramp development is on schedule. The pre-feasibility study at Cochenour was completed in 2017 which
resulted in an initial gold mineral reserve estimate of 0.2 million ounces. In addition, at Coffee, the project proposal was submitted to
Yukon’sEnvironmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board in December 2017 and the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor for
engineering and development work.
Throughout 2017, the Company made significant progress in executing its productivity and cost optimization programs. Building upon voluntary
and involuntary staff reductions at Cerro Negro and Goldcorp’s corporate offices enacted in late 2016, additional cost savings and productivity
initiatives were implemented that contributed to a total of $190 million in annual efficiencies in 2017. In the second half of 2017, Porcupine
continued to achieve average productivity targets at Hoyle Pond of roughly 1,200 tonnes per day, an increase of approximately 20% compared
to 2016. The Company expects to achieve further improvement at Porcupine through 2018, progressing to 1,300 tonnes per day at Hoyle Pond.
During 2017, Éléonore improved average recovery by nearly 1.5% over 2016 and was successful at reducing maintenance, consumables and
administrative costs. Musselwhite was able to improve productivity underground by reducing gas clearance time and taking advantage of tele-
remote mucking systems, while also significantly reducing dilution below their 2016 baseline numbers. These improvements are expected to
contribute to lower AISC. The Company expects further productivity improvements and cost reductions to be achieved at Red Lake, Peñasquito
and Cerro Negro to successfully reach $250 million of sustainable efficiencies by the middle of 2018.
Goldcorp made progress in 2017 towards achieving its 20/20/20 target of 60 million ounces of gold mineral reserves by 2021, as its proven and
probable gold mineral reserves increased to 53.5 million ounces at June 30, 2017 from 42.3 million ounces of gold mineral reserves at June
30, 2016, a 26% increase. The addition of 11.2 million ounces of gold mineral reserves during the period included 5.6 million ounces converted
from successful exploration and mine design optimization, primarily driven by the inaugural gold mineral reserve estimate of 4.7 million ounces
at Porcupine’s Century Project. The balance of the increase in mineral reserves comes as result of the acquisition of 50% of Cerro Casale, net
of non-core divestments including Los Filos and Camino Rojo, and depletion during the period.
The Company's continued focus on exploration to support the achievement of its 60 million ounce gold mineral reserve target by 2021 and
increase in NAV yielded positive results in 2017 with the reserve conversion at the Century project mentioned above and exploration discoveries
in 2017 at Cerro Negro and Coffee. The Company also further developed its pipeline of targets in 2017. The number of targets almost doubled
compared to 2016 and are expected to deliver opportunities for future discoveries.

MARKET OVERVIEW
Gold
The market price of gold is the primary driver of Goldcorp's profitability. The price of gold can fluctuate widely and is affected by a number of
macroeconomic factors, including the sale or purchase of gold by central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation
or deflation, global and regional supply and demand and the political and economic conditions of major gold-producing and gold- consuming
countries throughout the world.
During the 12-month period to December 2017, the US Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate a total of four times; but despite
periods of weakness heading into each of these hikes, 2017 proved to be a positive year for the gold price which recorded an overall gain of
13.2%. In similar fashion to 2016, the metal recorded its lowest price for the year in early January before rallying steadily into the third quarter
of 2017. The gold price peaked at a high of $1,357 per ounce in September 2017, before closing the year at $1,303 per ounce. The Company
realized an average gold price of $1,266 per ounce in 2017, a 2% increase compared to $1,244 per ounce in 2016, and $1,286 per ounce in the
fourth quarter of 2017. 2018 marks a change in leadership at the Federal Reserve Bank, with market expectations for a continuation of their
recent balance sheet normalization process and an additional three or four rate hikes in 2018. In addition to any impact from interest rate policy,
the US dollar index is trading close to three-year lows, and uncertainty surrounding the US dollar’s direction during 2018 is likely to be reflected
in future gold price volatility.
GOLDCORP | 11
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
Currency Markets
The results of Goldcorp's mining operations are affected by changes in the US dollar exchange rate compared to currencies of the countries in
which Goldcorp has foreign operations. The Company has exposure to the Canadian dollar relating to its Red Lake, Éléonore, Porcupine and
Musselwhite operations, exposure to the Mexican peso relating to its Peñasquito operation, exposure to the Argentine peso at Cerro Negro, and
exposure to the Dominican Republic peso relating to its investment in Pueblo Viejo. The Company's exposure to the Mexican peso and
Guatemalan quetzal decreased in the second quarter of 2017 after the closing of the sale of the Los Filos mine in April, and the closure of the
Marlin mine at the end of May.
Fluctuations in the US dollar can cause volatility of costs reported in US dollars. In addition, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated
in non-US dollar currencies, such as cash and cash equivalents and value-added taxes, are subject to currency risk. Goldcorp is further exposed
to currency risk through non-monetary assets and liabilities of entities whose taxable profit or tax loss are denominated in non-US dollar
currencies. Changes in exchange rates give rise to temporary differences resulting in deferred tax assets and liabilities with the resulting deferred
tax charged or credited to income tax expense.
Goldcorp's financial risk management policy allows the hedging of foreign exchange exposure to reduce the risk associated with currency
fluctuations. The Company enters into Mexican peso currency hedge contracts to purchase Mexican pesos at pre-determined US dollar amounts.
These contracts are entered into to normalize operating expenses and capital expenditures at Peñasquito expressed in US dollar terms.
Currency markets were volatile throughout 2017, largely due to the instability of the US dollar, influenced by Federal Reserve Bank interest
rate decisions, as well as policy under the new US president. The Canadian dollar strengthened in the second half of 2017 as a result of two
interest rate hikes and higher oil prices. The Mexican peso gained value throughout the year before weakening in the fourth quarter of 2017
in part because of uncertainties related to NAFTA negotiations and the 2018 Mexican Presidential election.
The Argentine peso continued to weaken throughout 2017 due to higher than expected inflation and mid-term elections in October 2017, and
finished the year with a significant decline in value following an increase to the central bank’s inflation target for 2018/2019.

(1) The Company has presented the non-GAAP performance measures on an attributable (or Goldcorp's share) basis in the table above. Adjusted operating
cash flows, adjusted EBITDA, cash costs: by-product, cash costs: co-product and AISC are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standardized
definition under IFRS. For further information and detailed reconciliations, please see pages 45-54 of this report.
(2) Total cash costs: by-product, per ounce, is calculated net of Goldcorp’s share of by-product sales revenues (by-product silver sales revenues for Cerro

and 25% of silver sales revenues for Peñasquito at $4.13 per silver ounce (2016 – $4.09 per silver ounce) sold to Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.
("Wheaton") and by-product copper and silver sales revenues for Alumbrera).
(3) Total cash costs: co-product, per ounce, is calculated by allocating Goldcorp’s share of production costs to each co-product (Alumbrera (copper); Marlin

page 45).

Year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016
Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $658 million, or $0.76 per share, compared to net earnings of $162 million, or $0.19 per
share, for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016 was
primarily due to higher earnings from Peñasquito from increases in zinc market prices and higher gold and zinc production from higher metal
recoveries and higher ore grades, the impact of the Company's initiative to realize $250 million of sustainable annual efficiencies, a gain on the
sale of the Company's interest in the San Nicolas project during 2017 and an increase in the Company's income tax recovery compared to the
2016, largely related to the deferred tax recovery relating to the net impairments recognized in 2017 and the impact of the Argentine tax reform.
These increases were partially offset by the impacts of an impairment expense at Red Lake, net of reversals of impairment at Pueblo Viejo and
Porcupine in 2017, and lower earnings from Red Lake in 2017 as the mine focused on increased mine development and initiatives to enhance
mining methods and rationalize the cost structure as it transitions to a lower grade mining environment. The sale of Los Filos and closure of Marlin,
on a combined basis, did not have a significant impact on results for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016.
Net earnings and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were affected by, among other things, the following non-
cash or other items that management believes are not reflective of the performance of the underlying operations (items are denoted as having
(increased)/decreased net earnings and net earnings per share in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016):

Revenues
(1) Excludes attributable share of revenues from the Company's associates. Revenues are shown net of applicable refining and treatment charges.
As shown in the chart below, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 were generally comparable with the year ended December 31,
2016 as the $334 million decrease in gold revenues was mostly offset by increases of $225 million and $36 million in zinc and lead revenues,
respectively. The decrease in gold revenues was primarily due to lower comparable gold sales from the sale of Los Filos in April 2017 and closure
of Marlin in the second quarter of 2017 and lower sales volumes at Red Lake due to lower tonnes and grade from the High Grade Zone, offset
partially by higher sales volumes at Cerro Negro and Peñasquito. The increase in zinc and lead revenues were due to increases in the average
realized prices of 36% and 24%, respectively, and increases in sales volumes of 39% and 17%, respectively. The increase in zinc and lead sales
volumes was due to higher metal recoveries and higher by-product metal grades, in particular zinc, at Peñasquito.
GOLDCORP | 15
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
Production Costs
Production costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $177 million, or 9%, when compared to the year ended December 31,
2016, primarily due to the closure of Marlin in the second quarter of 2017 ($174 million, inclusive of a $30 million change in Marlin's reclamation
and closure cost estimates in 2017 compared to 2016) and the sale of Los Filos in April 2017, including the impact of lower production prior to
its sale ($139 million). These decreases were partially offset by higher costs at Peñasquito ($53 million) due to higher fuel prices caused by the
elimination of subsidies from deregulation of the fuel markets, a one-time $12 million charge to the oxide heap leach operation which was
recognized in the first quarter of 2017. In addition, production costs were higher in 2017 c ompared to 2016 due to changes in estimates of
reclamation and closure costs for the Company's closed sites, excluding Marlin, in 2017 compared to 2016 ($43 million). At Cerro Negro, as a
result of cost control measures implemented in 2017, production costs were consistent with the same period in the prior year despite a 25%
increase in tonnes milled, the elimination of an export tax credit at the end of 2016 and the impact of inflation in Argentin a out-pacing the
devaluation of the Argentine peso.
(1) Excludes attributable share of depreciation and depletion from the Company's associates.
Depreciation and depletion decreased by $34 million, or 3%, mainly due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by the impact of incremental
depletion from the Hoyle Deep winze at Porcupine which finished construction in 2016. The lower sales volumes were primarily due to lower
sales at Red Lake and the impacts of the sale of Los Filos in April 2017 and closure of Marlin in the second quarter of 2017, offset partially by
higher sales volumes at Cerro Negro and Peñasquito.
The increase in the Company’s share of earnings related to associates and joint venture of $18 million for the year ended December 31, 2017
compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to a $45 million reduction in the Company's provision to fund its share of
Alumbrera’sreclamation costs in 2017, which was classified as Share of Net Earnings Related to Associates and Joint Venture for the Company's
Other associates, offset partially by a $27 million decrease in net earnings from Pueblo Viejo. The reduction in the provision for Alumbrera
reflected the expectation that Alumbrera will be able to fund a greater portion of its reclamation costs than previously estimated due to improved
financial results, primarily from higher realized copper prices. At December 31, 2015, the Company recognized an impairment of its investment
in Alumbrera, resulting in the carrying amount of its interest being reduced to zero, and recognized a $75 million provision to fund its share of
Alumbrera's reclamation costs. Since then, the Company discontinued recognizing its share of losses of Alumbrera and did not recognize its
GOLDCORP | 16
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
share of earnings of Alumbrera for the year ended December 31, 2017 as future earnings will be recognized only after the Company's provision
to fund its share of Alumbrera's reclamation costs is fully reversed. The decrease in net earnings from Pueblo Viejo was primarily due to lower
gold sales driven by lower production volume, lower grades attributable to the mining sequence, an increase in operating costs and the impact
of the receipt in 2016 of insurance proceeds relating to oxygen plant failures in 2015.
2017
At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the Company's net assets exceeded the Company's market capitalization, which the Company's
management considered to be an impairment indicator of the Company's cash generating units ("CGU's") as of December 31, 2017. Management
also identified certain CGU specific impairment and impairment reversal indicators as of December 31, 2017 as outlined below. Accordingly, the
recoverable value was estimated and compared against the carrying value for the material CGUs of the Company, which resulted in the Company
recognizing an impairment expense for Red Lake and reversals of impairment for Pueblo Viejo and Porcupine.
Red Lake
The Red Lake CGU includes Red Lake's main operations and the Cochenour and HG Young deposits. The recoverable amount of
Cochenour was negatively impacted primarily due to lower grade as indicated in the 2017 mineral reserve estimate. In addition, the life
of mine assessment included a longer than expected timeline for conversion to bulk mining resulting in a lower recoverable value. The
Company recognized an impairment expense of $889 million ($610 million, net of tax) against the carrying value of the Red Lake CGU
at December 31, 2017.
Porcupine
The Porcupine CGU includes Porcupine's main operations and the Borden and Century projects. During the year ended December 31,
2017, the Century project completed a base case pre-feasibility study, increasing the Porcupine mineral reserve estimate by 4.7 million
ounces. During the fourth quarter of 2017, a life of mine assessment was completed which reflected expected synergies across the
Porcupine CGU associated with the Century and Borden projects. As a result, the Company reversed the remaining unamortized
impairment recognized for the Porcupine CGU in prior years of $99 million ($84 million, net of tax).
Pueblo Viejo
During the years ended December 2017 and 2016, Pueblo Viejo generated significantly higher cash flows from operations than the
amount assumed in the recoverable value estimation at December 31, 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2017, Pueblo Viejo set new records
for the crushing and autoclave circuits as performance continued to improve beyond prior expectations. As a result of Pueblo Viejo's
continued strong performance and higher long-term metal prices, the Company recognized a reversal of the remaining unamortized
impairment of $557 million ($557 million, net of tax) related to its investment in Pueblo Viejo at December 31, 2017.
In addition to the impairments recognized at December 31, 2017, the Company recognized an impairment expense at Los Filos of $16 million in
2017, based on changes to the carrying value of the Los Filos assets sold to Leagold, which is included in 'Other' in the above table.
2016
The $49 million reversal of impairment (net) recognized in the year ended December 31, 2016 was comprised of a reversal of impairment at Los
Filos of $59 million, which was based on the expected proceeds from the sale to Leagold, offset by an impairment expense at Marlin of $10
million relating to land.
GOLDCORP | 17
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
Corporate Administration
Corporate administration expenses decreased by $29 million in the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31,
2016, primarily due to lower employee compensation expense due to the impact of cost savings initiatives undertaken in 2016 and the first
quarter of 2017 to restructure and decentralize the Company's operating model.
Restructuring Costs
Restructuring costs were $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $50 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Restructuring costs in 2017 were lower than 2016 as the majority of the workforce reductions from the decentralization initiatives at several
mine site and corporate offices were executed in 2016.
Other Income/Expense
Other income of $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 was comprised primarily of interest income on loans held with Pueblo Viejo,
gains on dispositions of investments in securities, offset partially by foreign exchange losses arising primarily on value added tax receivables
denominated in Argentine pesos and losses on accounts payable denominated in Canadian dollars, partially offset by gains on value added tax
receivable balances denominated in Mexican pesos, and a provision recognized with respect to the settlement of a guarantee of a silver stream
liability. Other expense of $13 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 was mainly comprised of a $68 million foreign exchange loss arising
primarily on value added tax receivables denominated in Argentine and Mexican pesos which was offset partially by $49 million of interest
income on loans held with Pueblo Viejo and short term money market investments and gains on dispositions of investments in securities.
Currency translation
Current tax balances, the tax bases of assets, liabilities and losses, and intra-group financing arrangements are subject to remeasurement for
changes in local currency exchange rates relative to the United States dollar. The most significant balances and financing arrangements are
associated with mining operations in Canada, Mexico, and Argentina.
The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances and intra-group financing arrangements resulted in an $83 million
income tax recovery for 2017 (2016 - $88 million income tax expense).
The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on current tax balances resulted in a $31 million income tax recovery for 2017 (2016 - $41 million
income tax recovery).
Corporate income tax rate changes and changes to the interpretation of tax law may have a material impact on earnings. The most significant
tax rate change for the Company occurred in December 2017 when the Government of Argentina enacted a reduction to its 35% pre-existing
corporate tax rate. Argentina's corporate tax rate was reduced to 30% for 2018 and 2019, with further reduction to 25% for 2020 and thereafter.
Concurrently, a dividend distribution tax was introduced that charges an effective 5% tax on dividend distributions for 2018 and 2019, rising to
an effective 10% tax on dividend distributions for 2020 and thereafter. The Argentine tax rate reduction resulted in a deferred tax recovery of
$156 million in 2017. The impact of the dividend distribution tax is not currently accrued because after-tax retained earnings will remain reinvested
in Argentina for the foreseeable future.
Other minor tax rate changes and changes to the interpretation of tax law during 2017 resulted in a income tax recovery of $7 million (2016 - $5
million income tax recovery).
Asset sales and impairment and changes in the recognition of deferred tax assets
Tax balances require adjustment when assets are sold and when assets are impaired and when there are changes in evidence regarding the
recognition of deferred tax assets.
GOLDCORP | 18
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
The 2017 impairment of mining interests resulted in a deferred tax recovery of $267 million (2016 - $nil) while the gain on disposition of mining
interests resulted in a current tax expense of $14 million (2016 - $nil). Changes in the recognition of deferred tax assets resulted in a deferred
tax expense of $2 million (2016 - $15 million).
Earnings before income taxes of $193 million for 2017 was impacted by the following items: $30 million of non-deductible share-based
compensation expense (2016 - $52 million); $202 million of non-deductible asset sales and impairment (2016 - $49 million reversal of impairment);
and $189 million of after-tax income from associates (particularly Pueblo Viejo) that are not subject to further income tax in the accounts of the
Company (2016 - $171 million).
After adjusting for the above mentioned items, the effective income tax rate for 2017 was 27% (2016 - 61%). The higher adjusted effective
income tax rate in 2016 was primarily due to higher non-deductible expenses.
AISC
AISC(1) were $824 per ounce for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $856 per ounce for the year ended December 31, 2016. The
decrease in AISC was primarily due to the higher by-product production at Peñasquito and by-product prices ($77 per ounce) and lower production
costs ($71 per ounce), due primarily to the sale of Los Filos and closure of Marlin in 2017 and the impact to date of the Company's initiative to
realize $250 million of sustainable annual efficiencies. These decreases were offset partially by the impact of lower gold sales ($114 per ounce),
due primarily to the sale of Los Filos in April 2017 and closure of Marlin in the second quarter of 2017 and lower sales volumes at Red Lake.
(1) AISC per ounce is a non-GAAP financial performance measure with no standardized definition under IFRS. For further information and detailed
reconciliations, please see pages 45-54 of this report.

(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except

Three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016
Net earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were $242 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to net earnings of $101 million, or
$0.12 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the same
period in 2016 was primarily due to higher earnings from Cerro Negro due to higher gold production, driven by the productivity improvement plan,
and an increase in the average realized gold price, higher zinc revenues at Peñasquito from higher zinc production and increases in zinc market
prices, a gain on the sale of the Company's interest in the San Nicolas project in the fourth quarter of 2017, the impacts of the sale of Los Filos
and closure of Marlin in the second quarter of 2017, and an increase in the Company's income tax recovery compared to the same period in the
prior year, largely related to the net impairments recognized in 2017 and the impact of Argentine tax reform. These increases were partially offset
by the impacts of an impairment expense at Red Lake, net of reversals of impairment at Pueblo Viejo and Porcupine in the fourth quarter of 2017,
and lower gold revenues at Peñasquito due to lower production as a result of planned lower grade.
Net earnings and earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were affected by, among other things, the following
non-cash or other items that management believes are not reflective of the performance of the underlying operations (items are denoted as having
(increased)/decreased net earnings and net earnings per share in the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016):

Revenues
(1) Excludes attributable share of revenues from the Company's associates. Revenues are shown net of applicable refining and treatment charges.
Revenues decreased by $45 million, or 5%, primarily due to a decrease in gold revenues of 14% due to a 22% decrease in gold sales volumes,
offset by a 9% increase in the average realized gold price. The decrease in gold sales volumes was primarily due to lower sales at Peñasquito,
due to lower grade ore as a result of the planned transition from the higher grade area of Phase 5 at the bottom of the Peñasco pit to primarily
lower grade ore from the beginning of Phase 6 and lower grade stockpiles, and the impacts of the sale of Los Filos in April 2017 and closure of
Marlin in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in gold revenues was partially offset by a $63 million increase in zinc revenue due to a 28%
increase in the average realized zinc price and a 34% increase in sales volume.
Production Costs
Production costs in the fourth quarter of 2017 decreased by $62 million, or 12%, when compared to the same period in the prior year primarily
due to the closure of Marlin in the second quarter of 2017 ($86 million, inclusive of a $30 million change in Marlin's reclamation and closure
cost estimates in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016) and the divestiture of Los Filos in April 2017 ($37 million),
offset partially by the impact of changes in estimates of reclamation and closure costs for the Company's closed sites, excluding Marlin, in the
fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year ($43 million). At Cerro Negro, as a result of cost control measures implemented
in 2017, production costs in the fourth quarter of 2017 were consistent with the same period in the prior year despite a 59% increase in tonnes
milled and the impact of Argentine inflation, which outpaced the currency devaluation.
(1) Excludes attributable share of depreciation and depletion from the Company's associates.
Depreciation and depletion increased by $1 million, or 0%, mainly due to the impact of incremental depletion from the Hoyle Deep winze at
Porcupine which finished construction in 2016, offset by a decrease in sales volumes. The lower sales volumes were primarily due to lower sales
at Peñasquito and the impact of the sale of Los Filos in April 2017 and closure of Marlin in the second quarter of 2017.
GOLDCORP | 22
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
The Company’s share of earnings related to associates and joint venture increased by $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the
same period in the prior year primarily due to a $12 million reduction in the Company's provision to fund its share of Alumbrera’s reclamation
costs in 2017, which was classified as Share of Net Earnings Related to Associates and Joint Venture for the Company's Other associates, offset
partially by a decrease in net earnings from Pueblo Viejo. The decrease in net earnings from Pueblo Viejo were due to lower gold sales driven
by lower production volume, lower grades attributable to the mining sequence, an increase in operating costs and the impact of the receipt in
2016 of insurance proceeds relating to oxygen plant failures in 2015.
See page 15 of this MD&A for detail relating to the impairment and reversals of impairment.
Corporate Administration
Corporate administration expenses increased by $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the fourth quarter of 2016, primarily due
to higher consulting expenses associated with strategic sourcing and procurement services. The Company partnered with a vendor and is in the
process of centralizing these services for all its mine sites and corporate offices as part of its program to realize $250 million in sustainable
annual efficiencies. The cost of these services are expected to be more than offset by savings in operating expenses and othe r corporate
expenditures.
Restructuring Costs
Restructuring costs were $nil in the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $5 million in the three months ended December, 31
2016. Restructuring costs in 2017 have been lower than 2016 as the majority of the workforce reductions from the decentralization initiative at
several mine sites and corporate offices were executed in 2016.
Other Income/Expense
Other expense of $7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was comprised primarily of foreign exchange losses arising from
value added tax receivables denominated in Mexican and Argentine pesos, net of foreign exchange gains on accounts payable denominated in
Mexican pesos, and a provision recognized with respect to the settlement of a guarantee of a silver stream liability. These expenses were partially
offset by interest income on loans held with Pueblo Viejo. Other expense of $12 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 related
primarily to foreign exchange losses arising primarily on value added tax receivables denominated in Mexican and Argentine pesos.
GOLDCORP | 23
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except

Currency translation
The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances and intra-group financing arrangements resulted in a $63 million
income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017 (three months ended December 31, 2016 - $46 million).
The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on current tax balances resulted in a $21 million income tax recovery for the three months
ended December 31, 2017 (three months ended December 31, 2016 - $20 million).
Other minor tax rate changes and interpretation of tax law during three months ended December 31, 2017 resulted in a income tax recovery of
$2 million (three months ended December 31, 2016 - $4 million income tax recovery).
Asset sales and impairment and changes in the recognition of deferred tax assets
The 2017 impairment of mining interests resulted in a deferred tax recovery of $267 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 (three
months ended December 31, 2016 - $nil) while the gain on disposition of mining interests resulted in a current tax expense of $14 million (three
months ended December 31, 2016 - $nil). Changes in the recognition of deferred tax assets resulted in a deferred tax expense of $18 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2017 (three months ended December 31, 2016 - $7 million deferred tax recovery).
After adjusting for the above mentioned items, the effective income tax rate for three months ended December 31, 2017 was 21% (three months
ended December 31, 2016 - 59%). The higher adjusted effective income tax rate in 2016 was primarily due to higher non-deductible expenses.
GOLDCORP | 24

AISC
AISC(1) were $870 per ounce for the three months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $747 per ounce for the three months ended December
31, 2016. The increase in AISC was due primarily to lower gold sales ($159 per ounce), higher sustaining capital ($67 per ounce) and higher
Corporate Administration costs ($18 per ounce), partially offset by lower production costs ($103 per ounce) and higher by-product production
and market prices ($19 per ounce). The decrease in gold sales was primarily due to lower sales at Peñasquito, due to mine sequencing, and the
impacts of the sale of Los Filos and closure of Marlin in the first half of 2017, while the decrease in production costs was primarily due to the
sale of Los Filos and closure of Marlin in 2017. The increase in sustaining capital was primarily due to costs associated with the tailings dam
raise at Peñasquito, increased development and tailings area expansion at Cerro Negro, and a planned increase in development rates and
expenditures on the tailings cell and expansion of the waste pad at Éléonore.
(1) AISC per ounce is a non-GAAP financial performance measure with no standardized definition under IFRS. For further information and detailed
reconciliations, please see pages 45-54 of this report.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
Cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased compared to the year ended December 31, 2016
primarily due to positive changes in non-cash working capital and cost reductions driven by the Company's initiative to realize $250 million of
sustainable annual efficiencies. The positive changes in non-cash working capital were due to the receipt of value added tax ("VAT") refunds,
primarily from Mexico and Argentina. The change in VAT receivable balance for the year ended December 31, 2017 resulted in an increase to
cash and cash equivalents of $219 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016.
The increase in cash flow used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016
was due mainly to $266 million, including transaction costs, paid to acquire Kinross' 25% interest in the Cerro Casale project, a $379 million
increase in expenditures on mining interests (as noted below), the purchase of a 4% gold stream on the El Morro deposit, part of the Company's
NuevaUnión joint venture, from New Gold Inc. for $65 million and an increase in purchases of securities and interest paid of $95 million. These
increases were offset partially by $320 million, net of transaction costs and cash disposed, received on the sale of Los Filos, Cerro Blanco and
San Nicolas and an increase in the return of capital from Pueblo Viejo of $41 million.
Expenditures on mining interests (including deposits on mining interest expenditures) were as follows:
The increase in expenditures on mining interests during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016
was due primarily to an increase in expansionary capital of $347 million related to the construction of the Pyrite Leach project at Peñasquito,
the development ramp at Borden and the Materials Handling project at Musselwhite.
Cash flow used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $197 million as compared to the year ended December
31, 2016. The decrease compared to 2016 was primarily due to net credit facility repayments of $30 million in 2017 as compared to Cerro Negro
debt repayments of $202 million and a $30 million credit facility draw in 2016. In addition, dividends paid decreased by $35 million due to a
reduction in the Company's dividend payments which came into effect on April 1, 2016.
On June 22, 2017, the Company completed the extension of its $3.0 billion credit facility term by one year to June 22, 2022. The unsecured,
floating-rate facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 150 points when drawn, based on Goldcorp's current bond ratings, and is intended to be used
for liquidity and general corporate purposes.
GOLDCORP | 26
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except

At December 31, 2017, the Company's net debt and adjusted net debt (1) was $2.2 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, representing reductions
of approximately 3% and 5%, respectively, compared to the Company's net debt and adjusted net debt balances at December 31, 2016. During
2017, the Pueblo Viejo joint venture repaid the remainder of the project finance facility of $160 million. At December 31, 2017, excluding cash
and cash equivalents held at associates of $163 million, the Company had $3.2 billion of available liquidity, comprised of $234 million of cash
and cash equivalents and short term investments, and $3.0 billion available on its $3.0 billion credit facility. The Company has $500 million of
debt due March 15, 2018 which it intends to repay using cash flow from operations, draws on its credit facility and/or other short-term bank
facilities.
The Company may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase its outstanding debt in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions
or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend upon prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, contractual
restrictions and other factors. The amount of debt retired or repurchased may be material.
(1) The Company has presented the non-GAAP performance measures on an attributable (or Goldcorp's share) basis. Adjusted net debt is non-GAAP

At December 31, 2017, the Company had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $420 million (December 31, 2016 – $423 million) of which
$323 million (December 31, 2016 – $303 million) represented guarantees for reclamation obligations. The Company's capital commitments for
the next twelve months amounted to $409 million at December 31, 2017, including the Company's funding obligation for Norte Abierto for the
next twelve months. During 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to construct the Coffee Project and potentially manage
its initial two years of operation. The expected total capital and operating expenditures under the agreement are $298 million and $397 million,
respectively, with the majority of the amount to be spent evenly throughout 2019 to 2023. The Company can terminate the contract at any time
without penalty, with no further obligations other than payment for work completed to the date of termination of the contract with the vendor.

In addition, certain of the mining properties in which the Company has interests are subject to royalty arrangements based on their net smelter
returns ("NSRs"), modified NSRs, net profits interest ("NPI"), net earnings and/or gross revenues. Royalties are expensed at the time of sale of
gold and other metals. For the year ended December 31, 2017, royalties included in production costs amounted to $78 million (2016 – $69 million).
At December 31, 2017, the significant royalty arrangements of the Company and its associates and joint venture were as follows:

GUIDANCE (1)
Goldcorp expects to produce 2.5 million ounces (+/- 5%) of gold in 2018, in line with previous 2018 guidance. AISC are expected to decline further
to approximately $800 per ounce (+/- 5%) as the Company continues to realize savings from its program targeting $250 million of annual
sustainable efficiencies.
The Company’s 20/20/20 plan remains unchanged. As previously guided, gold production is expected to increase 20% to 3 million ounces by
2021. AISC are expected to decrease by 20% to approximately $700 per ounce over the same period driven by the ongoing focus on cost
efficiencies and productivity improvements. Building on the successful conversion of 4.7 million ounces of gold mineral resources into mineral
GOLDCORP | 28
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
reserves at the Century project in 2017, gold mineral reserves are expected to increase by 20% to 60 million ounces by 2021 supported by the
exploration potential and ongoing programs at Coffee, Norte Abierto, Cerro Negro and Pueblo Viejo.
Complete production and cost guidance to 2021 is provided below.
(1) Guidance projections (“Guidance”) are considered “forward-looking statements” and represent management’sgood faith estimates or expectations of future
production results as of the date hereof. Guidance is based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, fuel prices, certain exchange
rates and other assumptions. Such assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Consequently,
Guidance cannot be guaranteed. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon Guidance and forward-looking statements as there can be
no assurance that the plans, assumptions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. See the "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements".
(2) The Company has presented the non-GAAP performance measures on a21 attributable (or Goldcorp's share) basis. AISC per ounce and cash costs: by-product
are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standardized definition under IFRS. For further information, please see pages 45-54 of this report.
(3) The assumptions below were used to forecast total cash costs and gold equivalent ounces:
(4) The Company’s projected AISC are not based on GAAP total production cash costs, which forms the basis of the Company’s cash costs: by-product. The
projected range of AISC is anticipated to be adjusted to include sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administrative expense, mine-site exploration
and evaluation costs and reclamation cost accretion and amortization, and exclude the effects of expansionary capital and non-sustaining expenditures.
Projected GAAP total production cash costs for the full year would require inclusion of the projected impact of future included and excluded items,
including items that are not currently determinable, but may be significant, such as sustaining capital expenditures, reclamation cost accretion and
amortization. Due to the uncertainty of the likelihood, amount and timing of any such items, the Company does not have information available to

(5) Excludes capitalized exploration costs (see footnote 6). Expansionary capital includes capital costs for those projects which are in execution and/or have an
approved feasibility study. Projects without an approved feasibility study only include capital costs to the next stage gate.
(6) Approximately 40% of exploration spending is expected to be expensed and approximately 60% is expected to be capitalized. Approximately 50% of
exploration spending considered sustaining and approximately 50% is considered expansionary.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
The Company’s principal producing mining properties are comprised of the Éléonore, Musselwhite, Porcupine and Red Lake mines in Canada;
the Peñasquito mine in Mexico; the Cerro Negro mine in Argentina; and the Pueblo Viejo mine (40.0% interest) in the Dominican Republic.
Operating results of operating segments are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about
resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. The Company considers each individual mine site as an operating
segment for financial reporting purposes except as noted below.
Following the Company's acquisition and divestitures and the closure of the Marlin mine during 2017, the Company reassessed its segments
for financial reporting purposes. The Company concluded that Marlin and Los Filos were no longer operating segments and as a result, are
included in Other; they were previously included in the Other mines operating segment. The Company's 37.5% interest in Alumbrera, which
was previously reported as Other associate, and the Company's interest in Leagold, are also presented in Other, because their financial results
do not meet the quantitative threshold required for segment disclosure purposes. Prior periods have been re-presented to reflect the current
presentation.
The Company’s100% interests in the Cochenour and Borden projects in Canada are included in the Red Lake and Porcupine reportable operating
segments, respectively. The Company's 50% interests in the NuevaUnión and Norte Abierto projects in Chile, and 100% interest in the Coffee
project in the Yukon, are included in Other.
The Company’s principal product is gold bullion which is sold primarily in the London spot market. Concentrate produced at Peñasquito and
Alumbrera, containing both gold and by-product metals, is sold to third party smelters and traders.

Alumbrera; by-product silver sales revenues for Marlin and Pueblo Viejo; and by-product lead and zinc sales revenues and 75% of silver sales revenues
for Peñasquito at market silver prices, and 25% of silver sales revenues for Peñasquito at $4.13 per silver ounce (2016 – $4.09 per silver ounce) sold to
Wheaton). If silver, copper, lead and zinc were treated as co-products, total cash costs for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 would
have been $627 and $660 per ounce of gold, respectively (three months and year ended December 31, 2016 – $619 and $649, respectively). Production
costs are allocated to each co-product based on the ratio of actual sales volumes multiplied by budget metal prices (see page 45).
(2) As described above, the Company's investments in Marlin, Alumbrera and Leagold are included in 'Other' for segment reporting purposes. They have
been disclosed separately in these tables, in 'Other mines', along with Los Filos up to the date of its disposal on April 7, 2017, to provide visibility
into the impact of the Company's corporate administration expense on AISC.
(3) For the purpose of calculating AISC, the Company included corporate administration expense, capital expenditures incurred at the Company's
regional and head office corporate offices and regional office exploration expense as corporate AISC in the "Other" category. These costs are not
allocated to the individual mine sites as the Company measures its operations' performance on AISC directly incurred at the mine site. AISC for
Other was calculated using total corporate expenditures and the Company's total attributable gold sales ounces.
(4) The Company has included certain non-GAAP performance measures including the Company’s share of the applicable production, sales and financial
information of Pueblo Viejo, Alumbrera, Leagold and NuevaUnión throughout this document. Total cash costs: by-product and AISC are non-GAAP
performance measures with no standardized definition under IFRS. For further information and detailed reconciliations, please see pages 45-54 of
this report.
(5) During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized an impairment expense of $244 million ($23 million, net of tax) in respect of certain
CGUs. Earnings from mine operations is prior to the impairment expense. See page 15 of this report for further detail.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW
(1) Gold equivalent ounces are calculated using the following assumptions: $1,250 per ounce of gold; by-product metal prices of $19.00 per ounce of silver;
$0.90 per pound of zinc; and $0.80 per pound of lead (2016 – $1,100; $16.50; $0.95; and $0.90, respectively). By-product metals are converted to gold
equivalent ounces by multiplying by-product metal production with the associated by-product metal price and dividing it by the gold price.
(2) Includes 25% of silver ounces sold to Wheaton at $4.13 per ounce (2016 – $4.09 ounce). The remaining 75% of silver ounces are sold at market rates.
GOLDCORP | 34
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
Gold production for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was lower than the same period in the prior year as a result of the planned
transition from the higher grade area of Phase 5 at the bottom of the Peñasco pit to lower grade ore from the beginning of Phase 6 and lower
grade stockpiles. Higher grade ore was processed from phase 5D in the three months ended December 31, 2016. It is expected that production
will revert back to higher grade ore in 2019 when the Phase 6 stripping program exposes higher grade ore in the Peñasco pit. Improved productivity
driven by the implementation of a new management operating system resulted in higher tonnes processed and better ore delivery to the primary
crusher during the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Earnings from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were lower than the same period in the prior year primarily due to
lower gold production, partially offset by 27% higher zinc and 17% higher lead prices, higher zinc sales, and lower depreciation. Production
costs remained in line with the same period in the prior year as cost optimization efforts were offset by market increases for diesel and electrical
prices.
AISC for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were higher than the same period in the prior year due to lower gold production and higher
planned sustaining capital expenditures, partially offset by higher by-product metal credits. Sustaining capital expenditures were higher than the
same period in the prior year due to work on the center line raise, dewatering wells relocation and the purchase of mining equipment.
Gold production for the year ended December 31, 2017 was comparable with the prior year, while gold equivalent production was higher because
of higher metal recoveries and higher by-product metal grades, in particular zinc. The higher throughput and metal recoveries in 2017 were driven
by improvements at Peñasquito's mill from improved equipment reliability and higher float cell recoveries. The year ended December 31, 2016
also included a prolonged period of maintenance which reduced tonnes milled.
Earnings from operations increased significantly for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior year,driven by consistent operations
and by 36% higher zinc and 24% higher lead prices, partially offset by higher depreciation and depletion. Production costs were higher compared
to the same period in the prior year due to market increases in diesel and electrical prices in 2017, a one-time charge related to the oxide heap
leach operation in the first quarter of 2017, and higher sustainability costs associated with supporting the nearby communities in 2017.
AISC was lower for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior year due to higher by-product revenues, partially offset by planned
higher sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures increased related to work on the center line raise and the purchase of
mining equipment.
Expansionary capital of $324 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 included $289 million and $30 million relating to the Pyrite Leach
Project and Chile Colorado pre-stripping, respectively (see the Project Pipeline section below).

Cerro Negro, Argentina (100%-owned)
(1) Gold equivalent ounces are calculated using the following assumptions: $1,250 per ounce of gold and a by-product metal price of $19.00 per ounce of
silver (2016 –
$1,100 and $16.50, respectively). By-product metals are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying by-product metal production with the
associated by-product metal price and dividing it by the gold price.
Gold production for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was higher than the same period in the prior year due to higher productivity in
alignment with the Cerro Negro's ramp-up and productivity improvement plan. The productivity improvement plan, which was implemented in
the fourth quarter of 2016, has been focused on improving maintenance, operator skills, and supply chain processes, and has generated positive
results across the mine. The consistent supply of 4,000 tonnes per day to the mill is expected to be achieved during the second half of 2018.
Mariana Norte design and development work continues per plan, with ore production expected during the second half of 2018 to supplement
declining production from Eureka in 2019. The development of the Emilia vein is expected to continue in 2018.
Earnings from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were higher than the same period in the prior year due to higher gold
production, driven by the productivity improvement plan, partially offset by higher depreciation and depletion. Production costs for the three
months ended December 31, 2017 were in line with the same period in the prior year, despite 59% higher tonnes milled, due to effective cost
control measures offsetting Argentine inflation, which outpaced the currency devaluation.
AISC for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were lower than the same period in the prior year due to higher gold production, partially
offset by planned higher sustaining capital related to increased development and tailings area expansion.

Annual Operating and Financial Highlights
Gold production for the year ended December 31, 2017 was higher than the prior year due to higher productivity, in alignment with the Cerro
Negro's ramp-up and productivity improvement plan.
Earnings from operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 were higher than the prior year due to higher gold equivalent production,
partially offset by higher depreciation and depletion. Excluding an export subsidy of $11 million in the third quarter of 2016 which has since
been eliminated, production costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 were in line with the same period in the prior year, despite higher
tonnes mined and processed. Management continues to implement cost control measures to offset Argentinian inflation of 21% in 2017 and
the changes in the Argentine peso/USD exchange rate which devalued 12% based on average 2016-2017 exchange rates. Depreciation and
depletion was higher as a result of the 25% higher milled tonnes.
AISC for the year ended December 31, 2017 were lower than the prior year as a result of higher gold production, which was partially offset by

(2) Earnings from mine operations is reported prior to any impairment/ impairment reversals. See page 15 of this MD&A for details.
Gold production for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was lower than the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower grades,
partially offset by higher tonnage processed. Ore mined increased in comparison with the three months ended December 31, 2016 primarily due
to the commencement of a new phase in the Moore pit which allowed for higher fleet efficiency. The decrease in head grade was attributable to
the mining sequence, as the prior year higher grade ore was primarily from Moore pit phase 2. Tonnes milled increased in comparison with the
three months ended December 31, 2016 primarily due to improvements in the autoclaves and grinding areas in 2017. During the fourth quarter
of 2017, monthly production records were set for the crushing and grinding circuit and the autoclave circuit.
Earnings from mine operations for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were lower and AISC were higher than the same period in the
prior year primarily due to higher production costs, lower gold sales, and lower by-product silver credits. Production costs for the three months
ended December 31, 2017 were higher than the same period in the prior year primarily due to 2016 costs being positively impacted by an
insurance credit from an oxygen plant failure in 2015, higher power costs as a consequence of higher usage resulting from increased tonnage
processed, higher fuel costs attributed primarily to increased market prices, and higher contractors and site costs.
Gold production for the year ended December 31, 2017 was lower than the prior year primarily due to lower grades, partially offset by higher gold
recovery and higher tonnage processed. The decrease in head grade was attributable to the mining sequence, as higher grade ore in the prior
year was primarily from Moore pit. The higher gold recovery in the year ended December 31, 2017 was a result of improved carbon management
and reagent cyanide addition compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. Tonnes milled increased in comparison with the year ended
December 31, 2016 due to reduction of unplanned maintenance shutdowns and optimization of autoclave operations.

Earnings from mine operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 were lower and AISC were higher than the prior year primarily due to
lower gold sales driven by lower production volume, higher production costs, and higher sustaining capital expenditures, partially offset by higher
by-product silver credits. The increase in production costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to 2016 costs having
been positively impacted by an insurance credit from an oxygen plant failure in 2015, higher power costs as a consequence of higher usage
resulting from increased tonnage processed and higher fuel costs. AISC were also higher due to higher sustaining capital as a result of spending
related to the addition of mining equipment, a power substation, and plant maintenance projects.

(1) Earnings from mine operations is reported prior to any impairment/ impairment reversals. See page 15 of this MD&A for details.
Gold production for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was lower than the same period in the prior year due to lower grades, as a
proportionately lower amount of ore was sourced from the High Grade Zone, partially offset by higher tonnes. With the increased use of bulk
mining methods, the milling rate of 2,270 tonnes per day achieved in the fourth quarter of 2017 was the highest rate achieved at Red Lake
since the beginning of 2013. The investment to optimize the long term value of the Red Lake camp as a higher tonnage, lower grade operation
will continue throughout 2018.
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the site continued with higher underground development rates, achieving 39 meters per day,
an 18% increase over the same period in the prior year. This is expected to liberate more ore in future periods and support the transition to bulk
mining as the High Grade Zone is depleted. The Red Lake mill continued operations in the fourth quarter of 2017 to supplement the Campbell
mill and will be used in 2018 to provide operational flexibility to accommodate higher ore tonnages when required.
Red Lake's earnings from mine operations for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were lower than the same period in the prior year
as lower gold sales were partially offset by lower depreciation and depletion.
AISC for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were higher than the same period in the prior year due to lower gold sales while production
costs were higher as a result of higher operating development costs. Higher production costs per ounce were partially offset by lower sustaining
capital.
Gold production for the year ended December 31, 2017 was lower than the prior year due to lower grade and lower tonnes as the mine focused
on accelerated development, increased bulk mining and a significant cost and infrastructure rationalization program.
Red Lake's loss from mine operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was lower than earnings in the same period in the prior year due
to the lower gold sales, partially offset by lower depreciation and depletion associated with the lower gold production.

PROJECT PIPELINE
The current anticipated milestones for 2017 through 2021 for the Company's numerous projects are outlined b elow:
Expenditures relating to projects for the three months and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in millions):
Of the $233 million and $565 million of project expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 (2016 - $74 million and
$216 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016), $233 million and $554 million ($60 million and $186 million for the three
months and year ended December 31, 2016) were included in expenditures on mining interests as expansionary capital. Certain Coffee
expenditures have been expensed as exploration, whereas HG Young and certain Century costs have been expensed as non-sustaining project
costs.
At Peñasquito, the PLP is 62% complete and is expected to commence commissioning in the fourth quarter of 2018, three months ahead of
schedule. The PLP is expected to recover approximately 40% of the gold and 48% of the silver currently reporting to the tailings and is expected
to add production of approximately 1 million ounces of gold and 44 million ounces of silver over the current life of the mine.

Musselwhite: Materials Handling Project
At Musselwhite, the Materials Handling project is advancing as planned and has achieved 53% completion with detailed engineering mostly
completed. Capital costs of the project are tracking 10% below budget and commissioning is expected, on plan, in the first quarter of 2019.
At Century, the base case pre-feasibility study was completed in the third quarter of 2017 on the following:
The base case pre-feasibility study is based on a total mineral reserve estimate of 5.7 million ounces of gold, including 1.0 million ounces of
previously reported mineral reserves from the Pamour pit, which have been integrated into the proposed Century project. However, the study
excludes approximately 1.0 million ounces of inferred mineral resources within the existing Dome reserve pit design, for which the Company
expects a portion to be converted following additional drilling. In 2018, Goldcorp will conduct a series of trade-off studies to further optimize
the project with a focus on evaluating the latest technologies to reduce project footprint and improve mining and processing efficiencies. Ore
sorting technologies, co-mingling of tailings with waste rock (Eco-Tails) to reduce water use, conveying of rock from the pit, electrical and/or
autonomous equipment, and optimized process plant design will all be studied as part of this process. The optimized pre-feasibility is expected
to be completed in the second half of 2018. Goldcorp considers Century to be a project with low execution risk in a proven mining district.
At Borden, construction of surface infrastructure to support the development of the exploration ramp has been completed. The current
infrastructure can support the mine once in production. Ramp development has reached 680 meters and is on schedule. The bulk sample is
expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2018. Bulk sample extraction and critical mine production development will be conducted
concurrently. The mine is expected to begin commercial production in the second half of 2019 and is expected to comprise approximately one-
third of Porcupine's production in 2020.
Coffee Project
Since the acquisition of the Coffee project (100% owned, Canada) in July 2016, the Company has accelerated and expanded the scope of
exploration in this developing new gold camp. Goldcorp acquired the project not only for the high -grade Coffee gold deposit, but also to
participate in the development of the growing mineral wealth within the highly prospective Tintina Gold Province which is estimated to be
endowed with approximately 150 million ounces of gold across the Yukon and Alaska.
The project proposal was submitted to Yukon’s Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board on December 6, 2017 after Goldcorp
completed additional consultation with the affected First Nations. Impact Benefit Agreement discussions are ongoing with the potentially impacted
First Nations.
Goldcorp entered into an agreement with a vendor for the engineering and development of the Coffee project. Engineering is now 15% complete
with the target of being 90% complete by the time the final regulatory approval is received.
The Company completed the pre-feasibility study in the third quarter of 2017, which resulted in an initial mineral reserve estimate of 0.15
million ounces. As the understanding of the Cochenour deposit continues to advance, the Company expects that further mineral resources will
be converted into mineral reserves to ensure a constant production level in future years. Cochenour has 0.3 million ounces of measured and
indicated mineral resources and 2.0 million ounces of inferred mineral resources. The new mine plan at Cochenour is expected to contribute
GOLDCORP | 45
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
5,000-10,000 ounces in 2018 and approximately 30,000 to 50,000 ounces annually to the overall production at the Red Lake camp once in full
production, which is expected in 2019. The production profile remains based on a starter mine approach, and Cochenour continues to have
potential through expansion at depth and laterally to further increase annual production.
The study also concluded the preferred backfill system was pastefill and the preferred material handling system would be the high speed tram
which will move the ore across to the existing shaft at Campbell. The material handling system is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
During 2017, the Company updated the geological interpretation and block models which upgraded the structural understanding of the
mineralized system. The Company also completed a study concluding that the preferred access would be underground access from the Campbell
mine on either the 14 level and/or 21 level based primarily on the favorable drilling results obtained between 8 and 21 levels and the potential for
continuity at lower levels as the deposit is open at depth. The updated mineral resource estimate provided 0.2 million ounces of measured and
indicated mineral resources and 0.3 million ounces of inferred mineral resources.
Based on the positive overall results of the study, the Company is investing in a further study with the goal to double the current resource by
2019, primarily through infill drilling and extending the deposit at depth. Expenditures will primarily be related to development on the 14 and 21
levels to provide drilling platforms and additional drilling. In the event of a positive outcome of the further study, the Company expects to
commence the development of the preferred material handling system in order to facilitate production and would expect to provide parameters
for a starter mine by late 2019.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, development and rehabilitation works were started on 14 level, and infrastructure upgrades to ventilation
and electrical systems were completed, in preparation for conducting diamond drilling.
Norte Abierto (50% owned, Chile) has hired a dedicated project team based in Santiago and Copiapo. Since the acquisition in mid-2017, work
has commenced on key areas including geology, studies, community relations, and environmental monitoring. A key milestone for the project
was reached on December 29, 2017 when a 3-year voluntary easement was signed with a local community which enables site access, drilling,
and baseline studies on all concessions owned by the project.
In 2018, the project will continue progressing through the initial stage of planned studies with key focus areas including:
• Geological review and geologic models update for both Cerro Casale and Caspiche;
• Drilling campaign including infill, definition, geotechnical and metallurgical drilling for Cerro Casale and Caspiche;
• District exploration program underway to review prospects and identify targets including the satellite oxide pits at
Cerro Casale for the upcoming drilling season;
• Trade-off engineering studies;
• Understanding the application of Goldcorp's patented Concentrate Enrichment Process to optimize concentrate quality;
and
• Engaging various stakeholders and initiating a permitting strategy for the combined operation.
The lessons learned as part of the prefeasibility study at NuevaUnión will be beneficial as the joint operation advances through the pre-feasibility
stage. The joint operation will control more than 20,000 hectares of mineral properties, which contain a combined gold mineral reserve and
resource estimate of 23.2 million ounces of proven and probable reserves, 26.7 million ounces of measured and indicated resources, and 7.8
million ounces of inferred resources and a combined copper mineral reserve and resource estimate of 5.8 billion pounds of proven and probable
reserves, 13 billion pounds of measured and indicated resources, and 2.7 billion pounds of inferred resources (100% basis).
NuevaUnión Project
NuevaUnión (50% owned, Chile) expects the pre-feasibility study to be completed in the first quarter of 2018. There has been considerable
progress made to date to combine the Relincho and El Morro projects and consolidate infrastructure, which is expected to result in a more
robust combined project with a reduced environmental footprint, substantially reduced capital expenditures and an optimized plan including
innovative technologies such as an autonomous mining fleet, low energy consumption process plant design, and hybrid conveyance system.
While the pre-feasibility study remains to be finalized, the many trade-off studies completed as part of the process have resulted in incorporating
several value enhancing opportunities increasing confidence in the overall business case.
Goldcorp envisions a staged and internally financed capital program that would allow a large portion of the capital required to develop and
construct future phases to be funded largely from internal cash flows.

Measured and Indicated gold mineral resources remained relatively unchanged after giving effect to the impact of the successful conversion of
indicated mineral resources into probable mineral reserves at Century, the addition of 50% of Caspiche and Cerro Casale, which added 13.3
million ounces, mainly offset by the sales of Los Filos and Camino Rojo(1), which together removed 17.5 million ounces. The sale of Cerro Blanco
and San Nicolas also contributed to a reduction in measured and indicated mineral resources of 1.1 million ounces. Inferred mineral resources
decreased to 20.0 million ounces from 22.5 million ounces, primarily as a result of the sale of Los Filos.
Mineral reserve estimates were based on a gold price of $1,200 per ounce while mineral resource estimates were based on a gol d price of
$1,400 per ounce. Gold price assumptions were unchanged from last year’sestimates. Complete mineral reserve and mineral resource information,
including tonnes and grades for all metals and details of the assumptions used in the calculations, can be found at www.goldcorp.com.
(1) Goldcorp removed Camino Rojo from its Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates as of June 30, 2017 as the sale of Camino Rojo was
pending, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. The sale subsequently closed in the fourth quarter of 2017.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Company has included certain non-GAAP performance measures throughout this document. These performance measures are employed
by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance internally and to assist in business decision-making as well as providing
key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance
with GAAP,certain investors and other stakeholders also use this information to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance;
however,these non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning. Accordingly,these performance measures are intended
to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP. The Company’s primary business is gold production and its future development and current operations focus are on maximizing
returns from gold production, with other metal production being incidental to the gold production process. As a result, where applicable, the
Company's non-GAAP performance measures are disclosed on a per gold ounce basis.
The Company calculates its non-GAAP performance measures on an attributable basis. Attributable performance measures include the
Company’s mining operations and projects, and the Company’s share of Pueblo Viejo, Alumbrera, Leagold and NuevaUnión. The inclusion of
NuevaUnión in the Company's non-GAAP performance measures primarily impacts the Company's adjusted operating cash flow metric at this
time as it is a development stage project. The Company believes that disclosing certain performance measures on an attributable basis provides
useful information about the Company’s operating and financial performance, and reflects the Company’s view of its core mining operations.
Total cash costs: by-product incorporate Goldcorp’s share of all production costs, including adjustments to inventory carrying values, adjusted
for changes in estimates in reclamation and closure costs at the Company’s closed mines which are non-cash in nature, and include Goldcorp’s
share of by-product silver, lead, zinc and copper credits, and treatment and refining charges included within revenue. Additionally, cash costs are
adjusted for realized gains and losses arising on the Company’s commodity and foreign currency contracts which the Company enters into to
mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in by-product metal prices, heating oil prices and foreign exchange rates, which may impact the Company’s
operating costs.
In addition to conventional measures, the Company assesses this per ounce measure in a manner that isolates the impacts of gold production
volumes, the by-product credits, and operating costs fluctuations such that the non-controllable and controllable variability is independently
addressed. The Company uses total cash costs: by-product per gold ounce to monitor its operating performance internally, including operating
cash costs, as well as in its assessment of potential development projects and acquisition targets. The Company believes this measure provides
investors and analysts with useful information about the Company’s underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of by-product credits
on the Company’s cost structure and is a relevant metric used to understand the Company’s operating profitability and ability to generate cash
flow. When deriving the production costs associated with an ounce of gold, the Company includes by-product credits as the Company considers
that the cost to produce the gold is reduced as a result of the by-product sales incidental to the gold production process, thereby allowing the
Company’s management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold production.
The Company reports total cash costs: by-product on a gold ounces sold basis. In the gold mining industry, this is a common performance
measure but does not have any standardized meaning. The Company follows the recommendations of the Gold Institute Production Cost Standard.
The Gold Institute, which ceased operations in 2002, was a non-regulatory body and represented a global group of producers of gold and gold
products. The production cost standard developed by the Gold Institute remains the generally accepted standard of reporting cash costs of
production by gold mining companies.
The Company also reports total cash costs: co-product as a secondary metric to provide further information to the Company's stakeholders. Total
cash costs: co-product, per gold ounce, are calculated by allocating Goldcorp‘s share of production costs to each co-product based on the ratio
of actual sales volumes multiplied by budget metal prices, as compared to realized sales prices. The Company uses budget prices to eliminate
price volatility and improve co-product cash cost reporting comparability between periods. The budget metal prices used in the calculation of total
cash costs: co-product were as follows:

AISC include total production cash costs incurred at the Company’s mining operations, which forms the basis of the Company’s by-product cash
costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administrative expense, mine-site exploration and evaluation
costs, and reclamation cost accretion and amortization. The measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations,
therefore expansionary capital and non-sustaining expenditures are excluded. Certain other cash expenditures, including tax payments, dividends
and financing costs are also excluded.
The Company believes that this measure represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations, and provides the Company and
other stakeholders of the Company with additional information of the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows.
AISC, as a key performance measure, allows the Company to assess its ability to support capital expenditures and to sustain future production
from the generation of operating cash flows. This information provides management with the ability to more actively manage capital programs
and to make more prudent capital investment decisions.
The Company reports AISC on a gold ounces sold basis. This performance measure was adopted as a result of an initiative undertaken within
the gold mining industry; however, this performance measure has no standardized meaning and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company follows the guidance note released by the World Gold
Council, which became effective January 1, 2014. The World Gold Council is a non-regulatory market development organization for the gold
industry whose members comprise global senior gold mining companies.
As described above, AISC include total production cash costs incurred at the Company's mining operations, which forms the basis of the
Company's cash costs: by-product and which are reconciled to reported production costs in the tables above. The following tables provide a
reconciliation of AISC per ounce to the consolidated financial statements:

Sustaining capital expenditures are defined as those expenditures which do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and
excludes all expenditures at the Company’sprojects and certain expenditures at the Company’soperating sites which are deemed expansionary
in nature. Sustaining capital expenditures can include, but are not limited to, capitalized stripping costs at open pit mines, underground mine
development, mining and milling equipment and tailings dam raises. The following table reconciles sustaining capital expenditures to the
Company’s total capital expenditures for continuing operations:

Adjusted operating cash flows comprises Goldcorp’sshare of operating cash flows before working capital changes, calculated on an attributable
basis to include the Company's share of Pueblo Viejo, Alumbrera, Leagold and NuevaUnión's operating cash flows before working capital
changes. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP,the Company and certain investors
use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to operate without reliance on additional external funding or use of
available cash.
Prior to April 1, 2017, adjusted operating cash flows was presented on an attributable basis using operating cash flows as sh own on the
Company's statement of cash flows. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company revised its presentation of adjusted operating cash flows to
present it on an attributable basis before working capital changes. The Company believes that this measure provides a better measure of the
Company's performance of its core business operations as the Company can experience changes in working capital from one period to another
which, at times, are not indicative of the performance of the Company’s business operations.

Non-GAAP Measure - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the following
items from net earnings:
Adjusted EBITDA removes the impact of impairments or reversals of impairment and other non-cash expenses or recoveries and is calculated
on an attributable basis to include the Company's share of Pueblo Viejo, Alumbrera, Leagold and NuevaUnión's earnings before interest, taxes
and depreciation and depletion. The non-cash expenses and recoveries are removed from the calculation of EBITDA as the Company does not
believe they are reflective of the Company's ability to generate liquidity and its core operating results.
The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company and certain investors use
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of the Company's ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working
capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation
purposes whereby EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or "EBITDA multiple" that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between EBITDA
and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition
under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital
balances, and therefore are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies
may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently.

Non-GAAP Measure - Adjusted Net Debt
Adjusted net debt is comprised of Goldcorp’s short-term and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and short term investments,
calculated on an attributable basis to include the Company's share of Pueblo Viejo, Alumbrera, Leagold and NuevaUnión's net debt. The
Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company and certain investors use this
information to evaluate the Company’s financial position and its ability to take on new debt in the future to expand operations, purchase new
assets or withstand adverse economic conditions.

The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk, in accordance
with its Financial Risk Management Policy. The Company’s Board of Directors oversees management’s risk management practices by setting
trading parameters and reporting requirements. The Financial Risk Management Policy provides a framework for the Company to manage the
risks it is exposed to in various markets and to protect itself against adverse price movements. All transactions undertaken are to support the
Company’s ongoing business. The Company does not acquire or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The following describes the types of risks that the Company is exposed to, and its objectives and policies for managing those risk exposures:
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Company by failing to discharge its
obligations. Credit risk is primarily associated with trade receivables; however,it also arises on cash and cash equivalents, short term investments,
derivative assets, other receivables and accrued interest receivable. To mitigate exposure to credit risk on financial assets, the Company has
established policies to limit the concentration of credit risk, to ensure counterparties demonstrate minimum acceptable credit worthiness and
to ensure liquidity of available funds.
The Company closely monitors its financial assets and does not have any significant concentration of credit risk. The Company sells its products
exclusively to large international financial institutions and other organizations with strong credit ratings. The historical level of customer defaults
has been negligible and, as a result, the credit risk associated with trade receivables at December 31, 2017 is considered to be negligible. The
Company invests its cash and cash equivalents and short term investments in highly-rated corporations and government issuances in accordance
with its Short-term Investment Policy and the credit risk associated with its investments is considered to be low. Foreign currency and commodity
contracts are entered into with large international financial institutions with strong credit ratings.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has
in place a rigorous planning, budgeting and forecasting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating
requirements on an ongoing basis, its expansionary plans and its dividend distributions. The Company ensures that sufficient committed loan
facilities exist to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of
cash and cash equivalents.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company generated cash flows from operations, one of the Company's main sources of liquidity,
of $1,211 million (year ended December 31, 2016 – $799 million). At December 31, 2017, Goldcorp held cash and cash equivalents of $186 million
(December 31, 2016 – $157 million) and short-term investments of $48 million (December 31, 2016 – $43 million). At December 31, 2017, the
Company's working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was negative $112 million (December 31, 2016 – positive $791 million),
which was primarily due to the Company's $499 million of long term debt becoming current at December 31, 2017. The Company intends to repay
the debt using cash flow from operations, draws on its credit facility and/or other short-term bank facilities in March 2018. At December 31, 2016,
$430 million of the total working capital was comprised of the Company's net assets held for sale.
In 2017, the Company extended the term of its $3.0 billion revolving credit facility to June 22, 2022. At December 31, 2017, the balance outstanding
on the revolving credit facility was $nil million (December 31, 2016 – $30 million) with $3.0 billion available for the Company's use (December
31, 2016 – $2.97 billion). Certain of the Company's borrowings are subject to various financial and general covenants with which the Company
was in compliance at December 31, 2017.
At December 31, 2017, the Company had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $420 million (December 31, 2016 – $423 million) of which
$323 million (December 31, 2016 – $303 million) represented guarantees for reclamation obligations. The Company's capital commitments for
the next twelve months amounted to $364 million at December 31, 2017, including the Company's funding obligation for the Norte Abierto project
for the next twelve months. During 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to construct the Coffee project and potentially
manage its initial two years of operation. The expected total capital and operating expenditures under the agreement are $298 million and $397
million, respectively, with the majority of the amount to be spent evenly throughout 2019 to 2023. The Company can terminate the contract at
any time without penalty with no further obligations other than payment for work completed to the date of any contract termination.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations. Gold, silver, copper, lead
and zinc are sold in US dollars and the Company’s costs are incurred principally in US dollars, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos and
Argentinean pesos. The appreciation or depreciation of non-US dollar currencies against the US dollar can increase or decrease the cost of
metal production and capital expenditures in US dollar terms. The Company also holds cash and cash equivalents that are denominated in
non-US dollar currencies which are subject to currency risk. Accounts receivable and other current and non-current assets denominated in
non-US dollar currencies relate to goods and services taxes, income taxes, value-added taxes and insurance receivables. The Company is
further exposed to currency risk through non-monetary assets and liabilities and tax bases of assets, liabilities and losses of entities whose
taxable profit or tax loss are denominated in non-US currencies. Changes in exchange rates give rise to temporary differences resulting in a
deferred tax liability or asset with the resulting deferred tax charged or credited to income tax expense.
GOLDCORP | 58
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
During the year ended December 31, 2016, and in accordance with its Financial Risk Management Policy, the Company entered into Mexican
peso forward contracts to purchase the foreign currency at pre-determined US dollar amounts. The Company hedges a portion of its future
forecasted Mexican Pesos denominated operating and capital expenditures to reduce the currency risk exposure to the Mexican Peso.
As of December 31, 2017, the Company was exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities, income and other
taxes receivables (payables) and deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies:
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a net foreign exchange loss of $23 million (year ended December 31,
2016 – $68 million), and a net foreign exchange gain of $9 million in income tax expense on income taxes receivable (payable) and deferred
income taxes (year ended December 31, 2016 – loss of $162 million). Based on the Company’snet foreign currency exposures at December 31,
2017, depreciation or appreciation of applicable foreign currencies against the US dollar would have resulted in the following decrease or
increase in the Company's net earnings:
(1)
Calculated based on fluctuations of foreign exchange rates during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate becaus e of
changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk primarily on its outstanding debt subject to floating
rates of interest, its shareholder loan related to Pueblo Viejo, its cash and cash equivalents, and interest-bearing receivables. The Company
is exposed to interest rate fair value risk primarily on its debt subject to fixed rates of interest. The Company monitors it s exposure to
interest rates and is comfortable with its exposures given its mix of fixed-and floating-rate debt, with 100% of total debt at December 31,
2017 subject to fixed rates, and the relatively low rate on its US dollar debt which comprised 100% of total debt at December 31, 2017.
The weighted-average interest rate paid by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2017 on its revolving credit facility subject
to floating rates of interest was 3.0% (2016 – 2.0%). The average interest rate earned by the Company during the year ended December 31,
2017 on its cash and cash equivalents was 0.72% (2016 – 0.14%).
GOLDCORP | 59
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
A 10% increase or decrease in the interest earned from financial institutions on deposits held would result in a nominal increase or decrease
in the Company’s net earnings. There was no significant change in the Company's exposure to interest rate risk during the year ended
December 31, 2017.
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. There was no significant change to the Company’s exposure to price risk during the year ended December 31, 2017.
The Company has a policy not to hedge gold sales. In accordance with the Company’s Financial Risk Management Policy, the Company may
hedge up to 50%, 30%, and 10% of its by-product base metal sales volume over the next 12 months, subsequent 13 to 24 months, and
subsequent 25 to 36 months, respectively, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in base metal prices. At December 31, 2017, the Company
had hedged approximately 7% and 6%, respectively, of its forecast zinc and lead sales from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. These
contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Company hedged an additional
20% and 10%, respectively, of its forecast zinc and lead sales for the next 12 months. These contracts have been designated as hedges for
accounting purposes.
The Company holds certain investments in available-for-sale equity securities which are measured at fair value, being the closing share
price of each equity security, at the balance sheet date. The Company is exposed to changes in share prices which would result in gains
and losses being recognized in other comprehensive income.
This section describes the principal risk and uncertainties that could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and financial results.
Commodity Prices
The majority of the Company's revenues are derived from the sale of gold and silver, and to a lesser extent, copper, lead and zinc. The price of
the Company’s Common Shares, its financial results and exploration, and its development and mining activities in the future may be materially
adversely affected by declines in the price of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc. Gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc prices fluctuate widely and
are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, such as the sale or purchase of metals by various central banks and financial
institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global
and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of major metals-producing and metals-consuming countries
throughout the world. The prices of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc fluctuate widely, and future price declines could cause continued
development of, and commercial production from, our properties to be uneconomic. Depending on the price of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc,
cash flow from mining operations may not be sufficient and the Company could be forced to discontinue production at, may lose its interest in, or
may be forced to sell, some of its properties. Future production from the Company’s mining properties is dependent on the price of gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc that are adequate to make these properties economically viable.
Foreign Operations
The majority of the Company’s foreign operations are conducted in Mexico, Argentina, the Dominican Republic and Chile, and as such the
Company’s operations are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties vary
from country to country and include, but are not limited to, terrorism; hostage taking; military repression; expropriation; extreme fluctuations
in currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; the risks of war,civil unrest or protests; renegotiation or nullification of existing
GOLDCORP | 60
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
concessions, licenses, permits and contracts; ability of governments to unilaterally alter agreements;
where noted) government imposed supply laws, including
GOLDCORP | 61
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
laws establishing, among other things, profit margins, production quotas, maximum and minimum price levels and the ability to confiscate
merchandise in certain circumstances; surface land access issues; illegal mining; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange
and repatriation; and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of
contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.
In addition, adverse changes in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Mexico, Argentina, the Dominican Republic and
Chile may adversely affect the Company’s operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations
with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, import restrictions, such as restrictions applicable
to, among other things, equipment, services and supplies, currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment,
maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, surface land access, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety.
Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, environmental
requirements, land and water use, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign
parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests. The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties related to the economic
and political risks of operating in foreign jurisdictions cannot be accurately predicted and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
operations or profitability.
Government Regulation
The Company’s mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities are subject to various laws governing prospe cting,
development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of
local people and other matters. No assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and
regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations
governing operations and activities of mining and milling or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse impact on
the operations and financial position of the Company. Changes to laws regarding mining royalties or taxes, or other elements of a country’s
fiscal regime, may also adversely affect the Company’s costs of operations and financial results.
In addition, governments continue to struggle with deficits and concerns over the effects of depressed economies, which has resulted in the
mining and metals sector being targeted to raise revenue. Governments are continually assessing the fiscal terms of the economic rent for a
mining company to exploit resources in their countries. Numerous countries, including, but not limited to, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, the
Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Venezuela, have implemented changes to their respective mining regimes that reflect
increased government control or participation in the mining sector, including changes of law affecting foreign ownership and take-overs,
mandatory government participation, taxation and royalties, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export
duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, as well as requirements for local goods, supplies and employment or
other benefits to be provided to local residents.
The occurrence of mining regime changes in both developed and developing countries adds uncertainties that cannot be accurately predicted
and any future adverse changes in government policies or legislation in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates that affect foreign
ownership, mineral exploration, development or mining activities, may affect our viability and profitability.
In December 2016, the State of Zacatecas in Mexico approved new purported environmental taxes that became effective January 1, 2017.
Certain operations at the Company’s Peñasquito mine may be subject to these taxes. The Company is not able to estimate the amount of the
taxes with sufficient reliability. The Company disputes the legality and constitutionality of the taxes and has filed legal c laims against the
taxes before the Mexican courts but cannot provide assurance on whether its claims will be successfully resolved.
Environmental Regulation
The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations mandate,
among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set out limitations on the generation,
transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will likely, in the future,
require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of
proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Continuing issues with
tailings dam failures at other companies' operations may increase the likelihood that these stricter standards and enforcement mechanisms will
be implemented in the future. We can provide no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation will not adversely affect our results
of operations. Failure to comply with these laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders
issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital
expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations or in the exploration or development
of mineral properties may also be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage due to the mining activities and may have civil or
criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. The occurrence of any environmental violation or enforcement
action may have an adverse impact on the Company’sreputation and could adversely affect its results of operations. In addition, production at
certain of the Company’s mines involves the use of sodium cyanide or other reagents and exposes rock material that could cause
GOLDCORP | 62
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
toxicity to the environment if released or not properly managed. Should sodium cyanide, other reagents, or contact water be improperly managed,
leak or otherwise be discharged from the containment system, the Company may become subject to liability for clean-up work that may not be
insured. In the event of any discharges of pollutants into the ground water and the environment, we may become subject to liability for hazards
that we may not be insured against.
Fluctuation in gold, silver, copper, zinc or lead prices, results of drilling, metallurgical testing and production and the evaluation of mine plans
subsequent to the date of any estimate may require revision of such estimate. The volume and grade of reserves mined and processed and
recovery rates may not be the same as currently anticipated.
Any material reductions in estimates of Ore/Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, including as a result of the processes outlined above, or
of our ability to extract these Ore/Mineral Reserves, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’sresults of operations and financial
condition.

ACCOUNTING MATTERS
Basis of Preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), effective as of December 31, 2017. IFRS comprises IFRSs, International Accounting
Standards ("IASs"), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRICs") and the former Standing Inter pretations
Committee ("SICs").
Critical Judgements and Estimates
The Company’smanagement makes judgements in its process of applying the Company’saccounting policies in the preparation of its consolidated
financial statements. In addition, the preparation of the financial data requires that the Company’smanagement make assumptions and estimates
of the impacts of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation
process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered
to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and
liabilities are accounted for prospectively.
Management has made the following critical judgements and estimates:
The critical judgements that the Company’s management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, apart from
those involving estimations, that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’sconsolidated financial statements
are as follows:
Prior to a mine being capable of operating at levels intended by management, costs incurred are capitalized as part of the costs of the
related mining properties and proceeds from mineral sales are offset against costs capitalized. Depletion of capitalized costs for mining
properties begins when the mine is capable of operating at levels intended by management. Management considers several factors in
determining when a mining property is capable of operating at levels intended by management.
(b) Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of exploration, evaluation and development costs
Management has determined that exploratory drilling, evaluation, development and related costs incurred which have been capitalized
are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future
economic benefit including geologic and metallurgic information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to proven and probable reserves,
scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits and life of mine plans.
The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries and investments in associate, is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates. The Company has determined the functional currency of each entity is the US dollar.Determination
of functional currency may involve certain judgements to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the
functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.
The Company applies judgement to determine whether an asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition
and that its sale is highly probable and therefore should be classified as held for sale at the balance sheet date. Conditions that support
a highly probable sale include the following: an appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group,
an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated, the asset or disposal group has been actively marketed for
sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and the sale of the asset or disposal group is expected to qualify for
recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. At December 31, 2016, the Company
concluded that the assets and liabilities of Los Filos met the criteria for classification as held for sale. Accordingly, the group of assets
and liabilities were presented separately under current assets and current liabilities, respectively, and measured at the lower of its carrying
amount and its fair value less costs of disposal, being its carrying amount. A reversal of impairment loss of $59 million was recorded for
Los Filos during the year ended December 31, 2016 to increase its carrying amount to its recoverable amount. A subsequent impairment
GOLDCORP | 64
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
of $16 million as recognized during the year ended December 31, 2017 based on changes to the carrying value of the Los Filos assets as
a result of normal operations prior to disposal. The assets of Los Filos ceased to be depreciated while they were classified as held for sale.
The Company also applies judgement to determine whether a component of the Company that either has been disposed of or is classified
as held for sale meets the criteria of a discontinued operation. The key area that involves management judgement in this determination
is whether the component represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation. Given that the Company continues
to operate in Mexico after the disposal of Los Filos, Los Filos was not considered to be a separate major line of business or geographical
area of operation, thus it was not considered to be a discontinued operation.
Determination of whether a set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute the acquisition of a business or asset may require the
Company to make certain judgements as to whether or not the assets acquired and liabilities assumed include the inputs, processes and
outputs necessary to constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. If an acquired set of assets and liabilities includes
goodwill, the set is presumed to be a business. Based on an assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company concluded
that the acquisition of its interests in the Cerro Casale project and Exeter in 2017 and Kaminak in 2016 did not meet the criteria of a business
combination and the transactions have been accounted for as acquisitions of assets.
Judgement is required to determine when the Company has control of subsidiaries or joint control of joint arrangements. This requires an
assessment of the relevant activities of the investee, being those activities that significantly affect the investee's returns, including operating
and capital expenditure decision-making, financing of the investee, and the appointment, remuneration and termination of key management
personnel; and when the decisions in relation to those activities are under the control of the Company or require unanimous consent from
the investors. Judgement is also required when determining the classification of a joint arrangement as a joint venture or a joint operation
through an evaluation of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Changes to the Company's access to those rights and
obligations may change the classification of that joint arrangement. During 2017, the Company entered into the following transactions which
required judgement to determine when the Company has control of subsidiaries or joint control of joint arrangements:
a. Acquisition of Exeter
On June 7, 2017, based on the fact that Goldcorp has a majority ownership interest in Exeter, the majority of the Exeter board of directors
were Goldcorp nominees and Exeter's key management personnel was comprised of officers appointed by Goldcorp, the Company concluded
that it had control over Exeter. Accordingly, Exeter met the criteria to be classified as a subsidiary. Commencing at the acquisition date of
June 7, 2017, the financial results of Exeter were included in the results of the consolidated group and the portion of Exeter's net assets
that was not attributable to Goldcorp was accounted for as non-controlling interest.
Based on assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances, primarily the requirement for unanimous agreement on management
decisions relating to the development and operation of the arrangement, the Company concluded that the Norte Abierto project is a jointly
controlled entity. Judgement is also required when determining the classification of a joint arrangement as a joint venture o r a joint
operation through an evaluation of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Despite the fact that the joint venture is a
limited liability company and the parties do not have rights and obligations to individual assets and liabilities, the Company concluded
that the Norte Abierto project is a joint operation as the arrangement requires the owners to purchase the output on a pro rata basis,
indicating that the entity has rights and obligations to the separate assets and liabilities of the joint entity. As such, the project has been
proportionately consolidated with the results of the consolidated group.
As Goldcorp owns greater than 20% of Leagold, Goldcorp is considered to have significant influence over Leagold, and therefore, is
required to account for its interest in Leagold using the equity method.
The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that CGUs are
impaired or reversal of impairment is needed. External sources of information the Company considers include changes in the market,
GOLDCORP | 65
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
economic and legal environment in which the Company operates that are not within its control and are expected to affect the recoverable
amount of CGUs. Internal sources of information the Company considers include the manner in which mining properties and plant and
equipment are being used or are expected to be used and indications of economic performance of the assets. The primary external factors
considered are changes in spot and forecast metal prices, changes in laws and regulations and the Company's market capitalization relative
to its net asset carrying amount. Primary internal factors considered are the Company's current mine performance against expectations,
changes in mineral reserves and resources, life of mine plans and exploration results.
At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the Company's net assets exceeded the Company's market capitalization, which the
Company's management considered to be an impairment indicator of certain of the Company's CGUs as of December 31, 2017. Management
also identified certain CGU-specific impairment and impairment reversal indicators as of December 31, 2017. Accordingly, the recoverable
value was estimated and compared against the carrying value for the material CGUs of the Company, which resulted in the Company
recognizing an impairment expense for Red Lake and reversals of impairment for Pueblo Viejo and Porcupine (see page 15 of this report
for detail).
The Company’s operations involve dealing with uncertainties and judgements in the application of complex tax regulations in multiple
jurisdictions. The final income taxes paid and value added tax (“VAT”) refunds received are dependent up on many factors, including
negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions and resolution of issues arising from VAT and/or income tax audits, such as
intercompany charges.
The Company recognizes potential liabilities and records tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions and matters identified based on its
judgement of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing
facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment
that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the tax liabilities. If the Company’s estimate of tax liabilities proves to
be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be greater
than the ultimate assessment, a tax benefit would result.
VAT receivables are generated on the purchase of supplies and services in most of the jurisdictions that the Company operates in. Timing
and collection of VATreceivables is uncertain as VATrefund procedures in certain jurisdictions require a significant amount of information
and follow-up. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk, credit risk and currency risk with respect to its VAT receivables if tax authorities are
unwilling to make payments in a timely manner in accordance with the Company’s refund requests. The Company regularly monitors actual
and projected collections of its VAT receivables to inform its assessment as to the collectability of the VAT receivables and classification as
current and non-current assets.
In June 2017, the Mexican government’s tax authority indicated that it had experienced an increase in VATrefund requests and as a result
had commenced more in-depth assessments of the requests. In 2017, the Company collected $269 million of VATrefunds from the Mexican
government, but the Mexican tax authority said it would withhold a portion of the VAT refunds until the authority’s reassessments are
complete. At December 31, 2017, the total VATreceivable due to the Company from Mexican tax authorities was $186 million (December
31, 2016 - $237 million), including the tax receivables retained on the sale of Los Filos. The Company reassessed the collectability and
classification of its Mexican VATreceivables and determined that no allowance was necessary in respect of collectability, but has classified
$29 million of the $186 million VAT receivable balance at December 31, 2017 as a non-current asset. If on review of the Company’s VAT
refund requests, the Mexican tax authority disallows any portion of the Company’s VAT refund requests then an additional charge to expense
may result.
(i) Contingencies
Contingencies can be either possible assets or liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will be resolved only when one
or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. Such contingencies include, but are not limited to, environmental obl igations,
litigation, regulatory proceedings, tax matters and losses results from other events and developments. The assessment of the existence
and potential impact of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement regarding the outcome of future events.

where noted)
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The significant assumptions about the future and other major sources of estimation uncertainty as at the end of the reporting period that have
a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are as follows:
In determining the recoverable amounts of the Company’smining interests, the Company primarily uses estimates of the discounted future
after-tax cash flows expected to be derived from the Company’s mining properties, costs to sell the mining properties and the appropriate
discount rate. The projected cash flows are significantly affected by changes in assumptions related to metal prices, changes in the amount
of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential, production cost estimates, future capital expenditures, discount rates and
exchange rates.
Significant changes in metal price forecasts, the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential, estimated future
costs of production, capital expenditures, and/or the impact of changes in current economic conditions may result in a write -down or
reversal of impairment of the carrying amounts of the Company’s mining interests.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a net impairment expense of $244 million (2016 – net reversal of
impairment of $49 million) in respect of the carrying amounts of certain mining interests (see page 15 of this MD&A).
At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the Company’smining interests was $20,047 million (December 31, 2016 – $19,572 million) .
The carrying amounts of the Company’s mining properties are depleted based on recoverable ounces contained in proven and probable
reserves and a portion of resources. The Company includes a portion of resources where it is considered probable that those resources will
be economically extracted.During the year ended December 31, 2017, depletion expense would have increased by $73 million (2016
– $80 million) if resources were excluded from recoverable ounces.
Changes to estimates of recoverable ounces and depletable costs including changes resulting from revisions to the Company’s mine plans
and changes in metal price forecasts can result in changes to future depletion rates.
Plant and equipment not depleted on a unit of production basis based on recoverable ounces are depleted on a straight-line basis. Changes
to estimates of the useful life and residual value may be impacted by the Company's mine plans and rate of usage of these capital assets.
In determining whether stripping costs incurred during the production phase of an open pit mining property relate to reserves and resources
that will be mined in a future period and therefore should be capitalized, the Company makes estimates of the stripping activity over the
life of the component of reserves and resources which have been made accessible. Changes in estimated strip ratios can result in a change
to the future capitalization of stripping costs incurred. At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of stripping costs capitalized and included
in mining properties was $204 million (December 31, 2016 – $205 million).
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future
taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax
positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional
weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted
cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. Forecasted cash flows from operations are based
on life of mine projections internally developed and reviewed by management. Weight is attached to tax planning opportunities that are
within the Company’s control, and are feasible and implementable without significant obstacles. The likelihood that tax positions taken
will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities is assessed based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant
tax position evaluated in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing
varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income
tax assets recognized. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses the probability of realizing unrecognized income tax
assets.
GOLDCORP | 67
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
(e) Estimated reclamation and closure costs
The Company’s provision for reclamation and closure cost obligations represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the
future cash outflows required to settle the liability which reflects estimates of future costs, inflation, movements in foreign exchange rates,
assumptions of risks associated with the future cash outflows and assumptions of probabilities of alternative estimates of future cash
outflows, and the applicable risk-free interest rates for discounting those future cash outflows. Significant judgements and estimates are
required in forming assumptions of future activities, future cash outflows and the timing of those cash outflows. These assumptions are
formed based on environmental and regulatory requirements and the Company’s environmental policies which may give rise to constructive
obligations. The Company’sassumptions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect management’s current best
estimate and changes in any of the above factors can result in a change to the provision recognized by the Company. At December 31,
2017, the Company’s total provision for reclamation and closure cost obligations was $599 million (December 31, 2016 –
$622 million). The undiscounted value of these obligations at December 31, 2017 was $1,572 million (December 31, 2016 – $1,786 million).
For the purpose of calculating the present value of the provision for reclamation and closure cost obligations, the Company discounts the
estimated future cash outflows using the risk-free interest rate applicable to the future cash outflows, which is the appropriate US Treasury
risk-free rate which reflects the reclamation lifecycle estimated for all sites, including operating, inactive and closed mines and development
projects. For those sites with a greater than 100-year reclamation lifecycle, a long-term risk-free rate is applied.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company applied a 20-year risk-free rate of 2.94% (2016 – 2.94%) to all sites with the exception
of those sites with a reclamation lifecycle of greater than 100 years where a 5.0% (2016 – 5.0%) risk-free rate was applied, which resulted
in a weighted average discount rate of 4.1% (2016 – 4.1%).
Changes to reclamation and closure cost obligations are recorded with a corresponding change to the carrying amounts of the related
mining properties (for operating mines and development projects) and as production costs (for inactive and closed mines) for the period.
Adjustments to the carrying amounts of related mining properties can result in a change to future depletion expense.
(f) Contingencies
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time. In the
event that management’s estimate of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the changes
in its consolidated financial statements on the date such changes occur.
The Company has adopted the narrow scope amendments to IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 12 - Income Taxes which
were effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The amendments did not have an impact on the Company's unaudited
condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
The Company has also adopted the amendments to IAS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows, which were effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2017. As a result of applying the amendment, the Company presented new disclosures relating to the changes in financial liabilities
arising from financing activities.
Revenue recognition
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") which supersedes IAS 11 – Construction
Contracts; IAS 18 – Revenue; IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes; IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate; IFRIC 18 –
Transfers of Assets from Customers; and SIC 31 – Revenue – Barter Transactions involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 establishes a single
five-step model framework for determining the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a
contract with a customer. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption
permitted. Either a modified retrospective application or full retrospective application is required for IFRS 15. The Company has
elected to apply the full retrospective approach upon transition on January 1, 2018.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that revenue related to the transfer of promised goods or services should be recognized when the control of the
goods or services passes to customers. The Company has evaluated the impact of applying IFRS 15, analyzing its bullion, doré and concentrate
sale agreements. The Company concluded there is no material change in the timing of revenue recognized under the new standard as the point
of transfer of risk and reward for goods and services and transfer of control occur at the same time.
GOLDCORP | 68
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except
where noted)
In addition, IFRS 15 requires entities to apportion revenue earned from contracts to distinct performance obligations on a relative standalone
selling price basis. In accordance with the terms of the Company's concentrate agreements, the seller must contract for and pay the shipping
and insurance costs necessary to bring the goods to the named destination. Therefore, where material, a portion of the revenue earned under
these contracts, representing the obligation to fulfill the shipping and insurance services, will b e deferred and recognized over time as the
obligations are fulfilled. The impact of this change on the amount of revenue recognized in a year is insignificant.
IFRS 15 contains presentation and disclosure requirements which are more detailed than the current standards, many of which are completely
new. Upon the adoption of IFRS 15, the Company will provide disclosures for each of the Company's revenue streams, which consist of the
Company's bullion, doré and concentrate sales, to supplement the revenue data that are currently presented in the segmented information
disclosure (note 9). New disclosures will be presented relating to the timing of completion of the Company's performance obligations, for example,
upon delivery and/or other points in time, and the portion of revenue related to provisional pricing adjustments on concentrate sales will also
be separately disclosed.
Financial instruments
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") to replace IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking
'expected loss' impairment model. IFRS 9 also includes significant changes to hedge accounting. The standard is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company will apply IFRS 9 at the date it becomes effective. Except
for hedge accounting, retrospective application is required, but the provision of comparative information is not required. For hedge accounting,
the requirements are generally applied prospectively.
The following summarizes the significant changes in IFRS 9 compared to the current standards:
• The classification of financial assets and liabilities is expected to remain consistent under IFRS 9 with the exception of
equity securities. The Company will designate its equity securities as financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income, where they will be recorded initially at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value will be
recognized in other comprehensive income only and will not be transferred into earnings (loss) upon disposition.
• The introduction of the new "expected credit loss" impairment model under IFRS 9, as opposed to an incurred credit loss
model under IAS 39, does not have a significant impact on the Company' accounts receivable, given the Company sells its
products exclusively to large international financial institutions and other organizations with strong credit ratings, the
negligible historical level of customer default, and the short term nature of the Company's receivables.
• The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms currently
available under IAS 39. Under IFRS 9, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge
accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk
components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. As a result, certain of the Company's hedging
strategies and hedging instruments that did not qualify for hedge accounting previously, primarily the hedging of its
forecast concentrate sales, will now be eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been replaced
with the principle of an "economic relationship". Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no longer
required. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity's risk management activities have also been introduced.
Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 – Leases ("IFRS 16") which replaces IAS 17 – Leases and its associated interpretative guidance. IFRS
16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the
customer controls the asset. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting
by lessees, introducing a single, on-balance sheet accounting model that is similar to the current finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions
for short-term leases or leases of low value assets. Lessor accounting remains similar to current accounting practice. The standard is effective
for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early application permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15. A leasee can choose
to apply IFRS 16 using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company plans to apply IFRS 16 at the date it becomes
effective but has not yet selected a transition approach.
Upon the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company anticipates it will record a material balance of lease assets and associated lease liabilities related
to leases with a term of 12 months or more on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2019. Due to the recognition of additional lease
assets and liabilities, a higher amount of depreciation expense and interest on lease liabilities will be recognized under IFRS 16 as compared
to the current standard. Additionally, a reduction in production and/or corporate administration costs is expected. Lastly, the Company expects
a reduction in operating cash outflows with a corresponding increase in financing cash outflows under IFRS 16. The Company is in the process
of identifying and collecting data relating to existing agreements that may contain right-of-use assets. These include land easements and service
contracts that may contain embedded leases for property, plant and equipment. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to make reasonable
quantitative estimates of the effects of the new standard. The Company estimates the time frame to develop and implement the accounting

The Company’s management, with the participation of its (1) President and Chief Executive Officer and (2) Executive Vice President, Chief
Financial Officer and Corporate Development, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based
upon the results of that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer
and Corporate Development have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the appropriate time periods and is accumulated and communicated to management,
including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Development, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, with the participation of its President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Chief Financial
Officer and Corporate Development, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the
supervision of the President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Development, the
Company’sinternal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Company’s internal control over financial
reporting includes policies and procedures that:
• pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions and
dispositions of assets of the Company;
• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with IFRS and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and the Company’s Directors; and
• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of
the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s management, with the participation of its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial
Officer and Corporate Development, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In making this
assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the TreadwayCommission. Based on this assessment, management and the President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive
Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Development have concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting was effective.
There has been no change in the Company’sinternal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2017 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company’s management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and
Corporate Development, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the
design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to
their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-
making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any control system
also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed
in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

RESPONSIBLITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and are in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Other information contained in this document has also been
prepared by management and is consistent with the data contained in the consolidated financial statements. A system of internal control has been
developed and is maintained by management to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and financial information is accurate
and reliable.
The Board of Directors approves the consolidated financial statements and ensures that management discharges its financial re porting
responsibilities. The Board’s review is accomplished principally through the Audit Committee, which is composed of non-executive directors.
The Audit Committee meets periodically with management and the auditors to review financial reporting and control matters.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Goldcorp Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the
consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the consolidated statements of earnings, consolidated
statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years
then ended, and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (collectively referred
to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2017
and December 31, 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 14, 2018
expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with
Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Those standards also require that we comply with ethical requirements. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. Further,we are required to be independent of the Company in accordance
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada and to fulfill our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements.
An audit includes performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant
to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies and principles used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate t o provide a reasonable basis for our audit
opinion.
Management of Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp" or "the Company") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or caused to be designed under the supervision of, the
President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Development and effected by the
Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board. It includes those policies and procedures that:
i. pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions
and dispositions of assets of Goldcorp;
ii. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated
financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board, and that Goldcorp’s receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and Goldcorp’s directors; and
iii. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of Goldcorp’s assets that could have a material effect on Goldcorp’s consolidated financial statements.
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections
of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of Goldcorp’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the criteria
set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 2017, Goldcorp’s internal control over financial reporting was
effective.
The effectiveness of Goldcorp’sinternal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2017, has been audited by Deloitte LLP,Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm, who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December
31, 2017, as stated in their report.
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Goldcorp Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017, based
on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and Canadian
generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017, of the Company
and our report dated February 14, 2018, expressed an unmodified/unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its asses sment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Goldcorp Inc. is the ultimate parent company of its consolidated group ("Goldcorp" or "the Company"). The Company is incorporated and
domiciled in Canada, and its head office is at Suite 3400 – 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2X8.
The Company is a gold producer engaged in the operation, exploration, development and acquisition of precious metal properties in Canada,
the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. The Company’s current sources of operating cash flows are primarily from the
sale of gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper.
The Company’sprincipal producing mining properties are comprised of the Éléonore, Musselwhite, Porcupine and Red Lake mines in Canada;
the Peñasquito mine in Mexico; the Cerro Negro mine in Argentina; and the Pueblo Viejo mine (40% interest) in the Dominican Republic. At
December 31, 2017, the Company's significant projects include the Borden, Cochenour and Coffee projects in Canada, and the NuevaUnión
(50% interest) and Norte Abierto (50% interest) projects in Chile.
In 2017, the Company acquired 50% of the Cerro Casale project which was contributed to a newly formed 50/50 joint operation with Barrick
Gold Corporation ("Barrick"). The Company also acquired 100% of Exeter Resource Corporation ("Exeter") and its Caspiche project ("Caspiche"),
which was contributed to the joint operation with Barrick (note 7(a)). Barrick and Goldcorp each owns a 50% interest in the combined
project, Norte Abierto.
On April 7, 2017, the Company completed the sale of the Los Filos mine in Mexico to Leagold Mining Corporation ("Leagold") (note 8(a))
and received shares of Leagold as part of the consideration. The Company currently owns 22.9% of Leagold's issued and outstanding shares
which is accounted for as an investment in associate using the equity method.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), effective as of December 31, 2017. IFRS comprises IFRSs, International
Accounting Standards ("IASs"), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRICs") and the former Standing
Interpretations Committee ("SICs").
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for those assets and liabilities that are
measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period.
The Company's presentation currency is the United States ("US") dollar. All amounts, with the exception of per share amounts, are
expressed in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise stated. References to C$ are to Canadian dollars.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled
by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from the investee and when the Company has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries
are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of
disposition or loss of control. The principal subsidiaries of Goldcorp and their geographic locations at December 31, 2017 were as
follows:
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
Mining properties and
Ownership development projects owned
Direct parent company Location interest (note 19)
Les Mines Opinaca Ltée ("Éléonore") Canada 100% Éléonore mine
Goldcorp Canada Ltd./Goldcorp Inc. ("Musselwhite") Canada 100% Musselwhite mine
Goldcorp Canada Ltd./Goldcorp Inc. ("Porcupine") Canada 100% Porcupine mine and Borden project
Red Lake Gold Mines Ontario Partnership ("Red Lake") Canada 100% Red Lake and Campbell
mines, and Cochenour project
Minera Peñasquito S.A. de C.V. ("Peñasquito") Mexico 100% Peñasquito mine
Oroplata S.A. ("Cerro Negro") Argentina 100% Cerro Negro mine
Kaminak Gold Corporation ("Kaminak") Canada 100% Coffee project
Intercompany assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated.
These consolidated financial statements also include the following joint arrangements and investments in associates:
The Company conducts a portion of its business through joint arrangements where the parties are bound by contractual arrangements
establishing joint control and decisions about the activities that significantly affect the returns of the investee require u nanimous
consent. A joint arrangement is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture, subject to the terms that govern each investor's
rights and obligations in the arrangement.
In a joint operation, the investor has rights and obligations to the separate assets and liabilities of the investee and in a joint venture, the
investors have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. For a joint operation, the Company recognizes its share of the assets,
liabilities, revenue, and expenses of the joint arrangement, while for a joint venture, the Company accounts for its investment in the joint
arrangement using the equity method.
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence, and is neither a subsidiary nor a joint arrangement. The
Company has significant influence when it has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associate
but does not have control or joint control over those policies. The Company accounts for its investments in associates using the equity
method.
Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in a joint venture or an associate is initially recognized at cost and subsequently
increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of net earnings and losses of the joint venture or associate, after any
adjustments necessary to give effect to uniform accounting policies, any other movement in the joint venture or associate's reserves,
and for impairment losses after the initial recognition date. The total carrying amount of the Company's investments in joint venture and
associates also include any long-term debt interests which in substance form part of the Company's net investment. The Company’s share
of a joint venture or an associate's losses that are in excess of its investment are recognized only to the extent that the Company has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. The Company's share of earnings
and losses of joint venture and associates are recognized in net earnings during the period. Dividends and repayment of capital received
from a joint venture or an associate are accounted for as a reduction in the carrying amount of the Company’sinvestment. Unrealized gains
and losses between the Company and its joint venture and associates are recognized only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests
in the associates and joint venture. Intercompany balances and interest expense and income arising on loans and borrowings between
the Company and its joint venture and associates are not eliminated.
The Company’s investments in joint venture and associates are included in mining interests on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that an investment in an associate
or joint venture is impaired. Objective evidence includes observable data indicating there is a measurable decrease in the estimated
future cash flows of the investee’s operations. When there is objective evidence that an investment is impaired, the carrying amount of
such investment is compared to its recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD") and value- in-
use ("VIU"). If the recoverable amount of an investment is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount and an impairment loss, being the excess of carrying amount over the recoverable amount, is recognized in the period in which
the relevant circumstances are identified. When an impairment loss reverses in a subsequent period, the carrying amount of the
investment is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined had an impairment loss not been previously recognized. A reversal of an
impairment loss is recognized in net earnings in the period in which the reversal occurs.
Similar to the assessment of impairment for subsidiaries, the Company reviews the mining properties and plant and equipment for a
joint operation at the cash-generating unit ("CGU") level to determine whether there is any indication that these assets are impaired
(note 3(m)).
A business combination is defined as an acquisition of assets and liabilities that constitute a business. A business is an integrated set
of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return to the Company and its
shareholders in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits. A business consists of inputs, including non-current
assets, and processes, including operational processes, that when applied to those inputs have the ability to create outputs that provide
a return to the Company and its shareholders. A business also includes those assets and liabilities that do not necessarily have all the
inputs and processes required to produce outputs, but can be integrated with the inputs and processes of the Company to create outputs.
When acquiring a set of activities or assets in the exploration and development stage, which may not have outputs, the Company
considers other factors to determine whether the set of activities or assets is a business. Those factors include, but are not limited to,
whether the set of activities or assets:
(ii) Has employees, intellectual property and other inputs and processes that could be applied to those inputs;
(iv) Will be able to obtain access to customers that will purchase the outputs.
Not all of the above factors need to be present for a particular integrated set of activities or assets in the exploration and development
stage to qualify as a business.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method whereby identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed,
including contingent liabilities, are recorded at 100% of their fair values at acquisition date. The acquisition date is the date at which the
Company obtains control over the acquiree, which is generally the date that consideration is transferred and the Company acquires the
assets and assumes the liabilities of the acquiree. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in determining the
acquisition date.
The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the fair values
of the assets at the acquisition date transferred by the Company, the liabilities, including contingent consideration, incurred and payable
by the Company to former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The measurement date for equity
interests issued by the Company is the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs, other than costs to issue debt or equity securities
of the acquirer, are expensed as incurred. The costs to issue equity securities of the Company as consideration for the acquisition are
reduced from share capital as share issue costs.
It generally requires time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the following as of the acquisition da te:
(i) The identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree;
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs,
the Company reports in its consolidated financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete.
During the measurement period, the Company will retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date
to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have
affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. During the measurement period, the Company will also recognize
additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date
and, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. The measurement period ends as
soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date
or learns that more information is not obtainable and shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
Non-controlling interests are recorded at their proportionate share of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired on initial
recognition. The excess of: (i) total consideration transferred by the Company,measured at fair value, including contingent consideration,
and (ii) the non-controlling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of net assets acquired, is recorded as goodwill.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and: (i)
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation; (ii) is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a
separate major line of business or geographical area of operation; or (iii) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resell.
A component of the Company comprises an operation and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial
reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company.
A non-current asset or disposal group of assets and liabilities ("disposal group") is classified as held for sale, if its carrying amount
will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and when the following criteria are met:
(i) The non-current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to
terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; and
(ii) The sale of the non-current asset or disposal group is highly probable. For the sale to be highly probable:
a. The appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group;
b. An active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated;
c. The non-current asset or disposal group must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in
relation to its current fair value;
d. The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of
classification as held for sale (with certain exceptions); and
e. Actions required to complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan
will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale from the date these criteria are met and are measured at the
lower of the carrying amount and FVLCD. If the FVLCD is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in net
earnings. Upon classification as held for sale, non-current assets are no longer depreciated.
The functional and presentation currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements is the US
dollar. Accordingly, foreign currency transactions and balances of the Company’s subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements are
translated as follows: (i) monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the US dollar ("foreign currencies") are
translated into US dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; (ii) non-monetary assets denominated in foreign
currencies and measured at other than fair value are translated using the rates of exchange at the transaction dates; (iii) non-monetary
assets denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the rates of exchange at the dates those
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
fair values are determined; and (iv) income statement items denominated in foreign currencies are principally translated using daily
exchange rates, except for depreciation and depletion which is translated at historical exchange rates.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in net earnings and presented in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in
accordance with the nature of the transactions to which the foreign currency gains and losses relate. Unrealized foreign exchange gains
and losses on cash and cash equivalent balances denominated in foreign currencies are disclosed separately in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company includes proceeds from the sale of all metals in revenue. The Company’s primary product is gold and other metals
produced as part of the extraction process are considered to be by-products arising from the production of gold. Revenue from the sale
of metals is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer; it is probable that economic
benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; the sale price can be measured reliably; the Company has no
significant continuing involvement; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. In
circumstances where title is retained to protect the financial security interests of the Company, revenue is recognized when the significant
risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer.
The initial sales price of the Company’sconcentrate metal sales is determined on a provisional basis at the date of sale. The final sales
price is based on the monthly average London Metal Exchange or London Bullion Market Association prices with monthly movements
between the provisional and final pricing recognized in revenue. The period between provisional invoicing and final pricing, or settlement
period, is typically between 30 and 120 days. Revenue on provisionally priced sales is recognized based on the estimated fair value of
the total consideration receivable. These provisional sales contain an embedded derivative instrument which represents the forward
contract for which the provisional sale is subsequently adjusted and is required to be separated from the host contract. Accordingly, the
fair value of the final sales price adjustment is re-estimated by reference to forward market prices at each period end and changes in
fair value are recognized as an adjustment to revenue. Accounts receivable for metal concentrate sales are therefore measured at fair
value. Refining and treatment charges are netted against revenues from metal concentrate sales.
Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For
calculations of diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding are adjusted to include the
effects of restricted share units and dilutive stock options, whereby proceeds from the potential exercise of dilutive stock options with
exercise prices that are below the average market price of the underlying shares are assumed to be used in purchasing the Company’s
common shares at their average market price for the period.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term money market investments that are readily convertible to cash with original
terms of three months or less.
Finished goods, work-in-process, heap leach ore and stockpiled ore are measured at the lower of weighted average cost and net
realizable value. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing and long-term metal
prices less estimated future costs to convert the inventories into saleable form and estimated costs to sell. At operations where the ore
extracted contains significant amounts of metals other than gold, primarily silver, copper, lead and zinc, cost is allocated between the
joint products on a pro-rata basis. Incremental processing costs directly related to a joint product are allocated to that metal. Stockpiled
ore and ore on leach pads that is expected to take longer than 12 months to recover is presented as a non-current asset.
Ore extracted from the mines is generally stockpiled and subsequently processed into finished goods (gold and by-products in doré or
concentrate form). Costs are included in work-in-process inventory based on current costs incurred up to the point prior to the refining
process, including applicable depreciation and depletion of mining interests, and removed at the weighted average cost per recoverable
ounce of gold. The average costs of finished goods represent the average costs of work-in-process inventories incurred prior to the
refining process, plus applicable refining costs.
The recovery of gold and by-products from certain oxide ore is achieved through a heap leaching process at Peñasquito. Under this
method, ore is stacked on leach pads and treated with a cyanide solution that dissolves the gold contained within the ore. The resulting
pregnant solution is further processed in a plant where the gold is recovered. Costs are included in heap leach ore inventory based on
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
current mining and leaching costs, including applicable depreciation and depletion of mining interests, and removed from heap leach
ore inventory as ounces of gold are recovered at the weighted average cost per recoverable ounce of gold on the leach pads. Estimates
of recoverable gold on the leach pads are calculated based on the quantities of ore placed on the leach pads (measured tonnes added
to the leach pads), the grade of ore placed on the leach pads (based on assay data), and a recovery percentage (based on ore type).
Supplies are measured at weighted average cost. In the event that the net realizable value of the finished product, the production of
which the supplies are held for use in, is lower than the expected cost of the finished product, the supplies are written down to net
realizable value.
The costs of inventories sold during the period are presented as mine operating costs in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Mining interests include mining properties, related plant and equipment, and the Company's investments in associates and join t
venture.
Mining properties
Mining properties are comprised of reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value associated with resources and exploration
potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves.
Resources represent the property interests that are believed to potentially contain economic mineralized material such as inferred
material within pits; measured, indicated and inferred resources with insufficient drill spacing to qualify as proven and probable
reserves; and inferred resources in close proximity to proven and probable reserves. Exploration potential represents the estimated
mineralized material contained within: (i) areas adjacent to existing reserves and mineralization located within the immediate mine
area; (ii) areas outside of immediate mine areas that are not part of measured, indicated, or inferred resources; and (iii) greenfields
exploration potential that is not associated with any other production, development, or exploration stage property.
Recognition
(i) Costs of acquiring production, development and exploration stage properties in asset acquisitions;
(v) Borrowing costs incurred that are attributable to qualifying mining properties;
(vi) Certain costs incurred during production, net of proceeds from sales, prior to reaching operating levels intended by
management; and
Acquisitions:
The cost of acquiring a mining property as part of a business combination is capitalized and represents the property’s fair value at the
date of acquisition. The purchase consideration of the acquisition of a mining property determined to be an asset acquisition is allocated
to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Fair value is determined by estimating the
value of the property’s reserves, resources and exploration potential.
Development expenditures:
Drilling and related costs incurred to define and delineate a mineral deposit that has not been classified as proven and probable reserves
are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related property in the period incurred, when management determines that it is
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
probable that a future economic benefit to the Company noted)
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
In open pit mining operations, it is necessary to incur costs to remove overburden and other mine waste materials in order to access the ore body
(stripping costs). Stripping costs incurred prior to the production stage of a mining property (pre-stripping costs) are capitalized as part of the carrying
amount of the related mining property.
The costs of acquiring rights to explore, exploratory drilling and related costs incurred on sites without an existing mine and on areas
outside the boundary of a known mineral deposit which contain proven and probable reserves are exploration and evaluation
expenditures and are expensed as incurred to the date of establishing that costs incurred are economically recoverable. Exploration
and evaluation expenditures incurred subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability are capitalized and included in the
carrying amount of the related mining property.
Management uses the following criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benef it:
(i) Geology: there is sufficient geologic certainty of converting a mineral deposit into a proven and probable reserve.
There is a history of conversion to reserves at operating mines;
(ii) Scoping, prefeasibility or feasibility: there is a scoping study, prefeasibility or preliminary feasibility study that
demonstrates the additional reserves and resources will generate a positive commercial outcome. Known
metallurgy provides a basis for concluding there is a significant likelihood of being able to recover the incremental
costs of extraction and production;
(iii) Accessible facilities: the mineral deposit can be processed economically at accessible mining and processing
facilities where applicable;
(iv) Life of mine plans: an overall life of mine plan and economic model to support the economic extraction of reserves
and resources exists. A long-term life of mine plan and supporting geological model identifies the drilling and related
development work required to expand or further define the existing ore body; and
(v) Authorizations: operating permits and feasible environmental programs exist or are obtainable.
Prior to capitalizing exploratory drilling, evaluation, development and related costs, management determines that the followi ng
conditions have been met:
(i) It is probable that a future economic benefit will flow to the Company;
(ii) The Company can obtain the benefit and controls access to it;
(iii) The transaction or event giving rise to the future economic benefit has already occurred; and
Borrowing costs:
Borrowing costs incurred that are attributable to acquiring and developing exploration and development stage mining properties and
constructing new facilities ("qualifying assets") are capitalized and included in the carrying amounts of qualifying assets until those
qualifying assets are ready for their intended use, which in the case of mining properties, is when the mining property reaches
commercial production. Capitalization commences on the date that expenditures for the qualifying asset are incurred, borrowing costs
are being incurred by the Company and activities that are necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use are being
undertaken. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. For funds obtained from general borrowing,
the amount capitalized is calculated using a weighted average of rates applicable to the borrowings during the period. For fu nds
borrowed that are directly attributable to a qualifying asset, the amount capitalized represents the actual borrowing costs incurred on
the specific borrowings.
Capitalization of costs incurred ceases when the mining property is capable of operating at levels intended by management. Costs
incurred prior to this point, including depreciation of related plant and equipment, are capitalized and proceeds from sales during this
period are offset against costs capitalized.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
Development costs incurred to maintain current production are included in mine operating costs. These costs include the development
and access (tunnelling) costs of production drifts to develop the ore body in the current production cycle.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
During the production phase of a mine, stripping costs incurred that provide access to a component of reserves and resources that will
be produced in future periods and that would not have otherwise been accessible are capitalized ("stripping activity asset"). The costs
qualifying for capitalization are those costs directly incurred to perform the stripping activity that improves access to the identified
component of ore, plus an allocation of directly attributable overhead costs, and which are determined using a strip ratio methodology.
The strip ratio represents the ratio of the estimated total volume of waste material to the estimated total quantity of economically
recoverable ore of the component of the reserves and resources for which access has been improved.The stripping activity asset is
included as part of the carrying amount of the mining property. Capitalized stripping costs are amortized based on the estimated
recoverable ounces contained in reserves and resources that directly benefit from the stripping activities. Costs for waste removal
that do not give rise to future economic benefits are included in mine operating costs in the period in which they are incurred.
Measurement
Mining properties are recorded at cost less accumulated depletion and impairment losses.
Depletion:
The carrying amounts of mining properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method over the estimated recoverable ounces,
when the mine is capable of operating at levels intended by management. Under this method, depletable costs are multiplied by the
number of ounces produced, and divided by the estimated recoverable ounces contained in proven and probable reserves and a portion
of resources where it is considered highly probable that those resources will be economically extracted. During the year ended
December 31, 2017, depletion expense would have increased by $63 million (2016 – $80 million) if resources were excluded from
recoverable ounces.
(ii) Operating results are being achieved consistently for a period of time;
(iii) There are indicators that these operating results will be continued; and
(iv) Other factors are present, including one or more of the following: A significant portion of plant/mill capacity has
been achieved; a significant portion of available funding is directed towards operating activities; a pre-determined,
reasonable period of time has passed; or significant milestones for the development of the mining property have
been achieved.
Management reviews the estimated total recoverable ounces contained in depletable reserves and resources annually, and when events
and circumstances indicate that such a review should be made. Changes to estimated total recoverable ounces contained in depletable
reserves and resources are accounted for prospectively.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews its mining properties and plant and equipment at the CGU level to determine
whether there is any indication that these assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant
CGU is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates
cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The Company’s CGUs are its mine
sites, represented by its principal producing mining properties and significant development projects.
The recoverable amount of a mine site is the greater of its FVLCD and VIU. In determining the recoverable amounts of each of the
Company’smine sites, the Company uses the FVLCD as this will generally be greater than or equal to the VIU. When there is no binding
sales agreement, FVLCD is primarily estimated as the discounted future after-tax cash flows expected to be derived from a mine site,
less an amount for costs to sell estimated based on similar past transactions. When discounting estimated future after-tax cash flows,
the Company uses its after-tax weighted average cost of capital. Estimated cash flows are based on expected future production, metal
selling prices, operating costs and capital expenditures. Continued access to the estimated recoverable reserves, resources and
exploration potential of the Company’s mining interests is a key assumption in determining their recoverable amounts. The ability to
maintain existing or obtain necessary mining concessions, surface rights title, and water concessions is integral to the access of the
reserves, resources and exploration potential. A mining concession gives its holder the right to carry out mining activities in the area
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
covered by that concession and take ownership of any minerals found, but it does notnoted) always grant surface access rights. In some
jurisdictions surface access rights must be separately negotiated with the owner of the surface lands and in the event of a dispute or
failed negotiations, administrative legal process may be available. In other jurisdictions, surface access rights may be granted along
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
with mining rights. Water concessions provide its holder the right to specified levels of water usage and are granted based on water
availability in the source area.
If the recoverable amount of a mine site is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. The carrying amount of each mine site includes the carrying amounts of mining properties, plant and equipment, goodwill and
related deferred income tax balances, net of the mine site reclamation and closure cost provision. In addition, the carrying amounts of
the Company’s corporate assets are allocated to the relevant mine sites for impairment purposes. Impairment losses are recognized in
net earnings in the period in which they are incurred. The allocation of an impairment loss, if any, for a particular mine site to its mining
properties and plant and equipment is based on the relative carrying amounts of those assets at the date of impairment. Those mine
sites which have been impaired are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the impairment may have reversed. When an impairment loss reverses in a subsequent period, the revised carrying amount shall not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset previously, less
subsequent depreciation and depletion. Reversals of impairment losses are recognized in net earnings in the period in which the
reversals occur.
Plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Costs capitalized for plant and
equipment include borrowing costs incurred that are attributable to qualifying plant and equipment. The carrying amounts of plant and
equipment are depreciated using either the straight-line or unit-of-production method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of
the asset or the life of mine. The significant classes of depreciable plant and equipment and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
Assets under construction are depreciated when they are substantially complete and available for their intended use, over their
estimated useful lives.
Management reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods of the Company’s plant and equipment at
the end of each financial year, and when events and circumstances indicate that such a review should be made. Changes to estimated
useful lives, residual values or depreciation methods resulting from such review are accounted for prospectively.
Derecognition
Upon disposal or abandonment, the carrying amounts of mining properties and plant and equipment are derecognized and any associated
gains or losses are recognized in net earnings. The cost and accumulated depreciation and depletion and impairment of fully depleted
mineral properties and fully depreciated plant and equipment are derecognized.
(n) Leases
Contracts which contain the legal form of a lease are classified as either finance or operating leases. Finance leases represent leases
that transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset. They are capitalized at the commencement of
the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments and these capitalized
costs are depreciated over the shorter of the period of expected use and the lease term. Leases in which a significant portion of the
risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are included in
production costs in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Earnings on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. In addition
to contracts which take the legal form of a lease, other significant contracts are assessed to determine whether, in substance, they are
or contain a lease, if the contractual arrangement contains the use of a specific asset and the right to use that asset.
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, unused tax losses and other income tax deductions. Deferred income
tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and other income tax deductions to the extent that
it is probable the Company will have taxable income against which those deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
other income tax deductions can be utilized. The extent to which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and other income
tax deductions are expected to be realized is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
In a business combination, temporary differences arise as a result of differences between the fair values of identifiable assets and
liabilities acquired and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of these
differences. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not recognized for temporary differences arising from goodwill or from the
initial recognition of assets and liabilities acquired in a transaction other than a business combination which do not affect either
accounting or taxable income or loss.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the
related assets are realized or the liabilities are settled. The measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax
consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover and settle the
carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities, respectively. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in the period in which the change is substantively enacted.
The Company records foreign exchange gains and losses representing the impacts of movements in foreign exchange rates on the tax
bases of non-monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange gains and losses relating
to deferred income taxes and current income taxes are included in deferred income tax expense/recovery and current income tax
expense/recovery, respectively in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Current and deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized in net earnings except when they arise as a result of items
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related current and deferred income taxes are also
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(p) Provisions
Provisions are liabilities that are uncertain in timing or amount. The Company records a provision when and only when:
(i) The Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
(ii) It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation;
and
Constructive obligations are obligations that derive from the Company’s actions where:
(i) By an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current statement, the
Company has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities; and
(ii) As a result, the Company has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will
discharge those responsibilities.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted or reversed to reflect management’s current best estimate of
the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Provisions are reduced by
actual expenditures for which the provision was originally recognized. Where discounting has been used, the carrying amount of a
provision is accreted during the period to reflect the passage of time. This accretion expense is included in finance costs in the
Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The Company records a provision for the estimated future costs of reclamation and closure of operating, closed and inactive mines and
development projects when environmental disturbance occurs or a constructive obligation arises. Future costs represent management’s
best estimates which incorporate assumptions on the effects of inflation, movements in foreign exchange rates, the effects of country
and other specific risks associated with the related liabilities. These estimates of future costs are discounted to net present value using
the risk-free interest rate applicable to the future cash outflows. The provision for the Company’s reclamation and closure cost obligations
is accreted over time to reflect the unwinding of the discount with the accretion expense included in finance costs in the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings. The provision for reclamation and closure cost obligations is remeasured at the end of each reporting period
for changes in estimates or circumstances. Changes in estimates or circumstances include changes in legal
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
or regulatory requirements, increased obligations arising from additional mining and exploration activities, changes to cost estimates
and changes to the risk-free interest rates.
Reclamation and closure cost obligations relating to operating mines and development projects are initially recorded with a
corresponding increase to the carrying amounts of related mining properties. Changes to the obligations which may arise as a result of
changes in estimates and assumptions are also accounted for as changes in the carrying amounts of related mining properties, except
where a reduction in the obligation is greater than the capitalized reclamation and closure costs, in which case, the capitalized
reclamation and closure costs are reduced to nil and the remaining adjustment is included in production costs in the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings. Reclamation and closure cost obligations related to inactive and closed mines are included in production costs
in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings on initial recognition and subsequently when remeasured.
On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs, except
for financial assets and liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The directly attributable transaction costs
of financial assets and liabilities classified as at FVTPL are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and liabilities depends on the classifications of such assets and liabilities.
Classified as at FVTPL:
Financial assets and liabilities classified as at FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in net earnings.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when: (i) they are acquired or incurred principally for short-term profit taking
and/or meet the definition of a derivative (held-for-trading); or (ii) they meet the criteria for being designated as at FVTPL and have been
designated as such on initial recognition.
A contract to buy or sell non-financial items that can be settled net in cash, which include non-financial items that are readily convertible
to cash, that has not been entered into and held for the purpose of receipt or delivery of non-financial items in accordance with the
Company's expected purchase, sale or use meets the definition of a non-financial derivative. Derivatives are classified as either hedges
of highly probable forecasted transactions ("cash flow hedges") or non-hedge derivatives.
On initial designation of the derivative as a cash flow hedge, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument
and hedged item and assesses the effectiveness of the hedging instrument in offsetting the changes in the cash flows attributable to
the hedged risk and whether the forecast transaction is highly probable. Subsequent assessment will be performed on an ongoing
basis to determine that the hedging instruments have been highly effective throughout the reporting periods for which they we re
designated. The changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and determined to be effective in offsetting forecasted
cash flows is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized
immediately as Gain (loss) on derivatives, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
When the forecasted transaction impacts earnings, the cumulative gains or losses that were recorded in Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") are reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction
has occurred. When the forecasted transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the cumulative gains
or losses that were recorded in AOCI are reclassified and included in the carrying amount of the asset.
When a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge expires or is sold and the forecasted transaction is still expected to occur, any
cumulative gain or loss relating to the derivative that is recorded in AOCI at that time remains in AOCI and is recognized in the
Consolidated Statements of Earnings when the forecasted transaction occurs. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to
occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was recorded in AOCI is immediately transferred to the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Non-hedge derivatives
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
Derivative instruments that do not qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net
earnings.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
Classified as available-for-sale:
A financial asset is classified as available-for-sale when: (i) it is not classified as a loan and receivable, a held-to-maturity investment
or as at FVTPL; or (ii) it is designated as available-for-sale on initial recognition. The Company has investments in equity securities in
accordance with its long-term investment plans. The Company’s investments in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale
and are measured at fair value with mark-to-market gains and losses recognized in OCI and accumulated in the investment revaluation
reserve within equity until the financial assets are derecognized or there is objective evidence that the financial assets are impaired.
When available-for-sale investments in marketable securities and equity securities are derecognized, the cumulative mark-to-market
gains or losses that had been previously recognized in OCI are reclassified to earnings for the period. When there is objective evidence
that an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been previously recognized in OCI is reclassified to
earnings for the period. Equity securities are classified as non-current assets if the Company intends to hold the investment for more
than 12 months, otherwise, they are classified as marketable securities and included in other current assets. At December 31, 2017
and 2016, all of the Company's equity securities were classified as non-current assets.
Financial assets classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and other financial liabilities are measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method calculates the amortized cost of a financial asset or
financial liability and allocates the effective interest income or interest expense over the term of the financial asset or financial liability,
respectively. The interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments throughout the term of the
financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability, respectively.
When there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a financial asset measured at amortized cost has been incurred, an
impairment loss is recognized in net earnings for the period measured as the difference between the financial asset's carrying amount
and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the
financial asset's effective interest rate at initial recognition.
Impairment
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that financial assets are impaired. A
financial asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of
one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset that has a negative impact on the estimate d future cash
flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated.
The fair value of the estimated number of stock options and restricted share units ("RSUs") awarded to employees, officers and directors
that will eventually vest, determined as of the date of grant, is recognized as share-based compensation expense within corporate
administration in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings over the vesting period of the stock options and RSUs, with a corresponding
increase to equity. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related
inputs as of the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs is the market value of the underlying shares as of the date of grant. Stock options
and RSUs with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values. Changes
to the estimated number of awards that will eventually vest are accounted for prospectively.
Performance share units ("PSUs") and phantom restricted units ("PRUs") are settled in cash. The fair value of the estimated number of
PSUs and PRUs awarded that will eventually vest, determined as of the date of grant, is recognized as share-based compensation
expense within corporate administration expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings over the vesting period, with a
corresponding amount recorded as a liability. Until the liability is settled, the fair value of the PSUs and PRUs is re-measured at the
end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with changes in fair value recognized as share-based compensation expense
or recovery over the vesting period. The fair value of PRUs is the market value of the underlying shares as of the date of valuation.

4. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company has adopted the narrow scope amendments to IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 12 - Income Taxes
which were effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The amendments did not have an impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
The Company has also adopted the amendments to IAS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows, which were effective for annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2017. As a result of applying the amendment, the Company presented new disclosures relating to the changes in financial
liabilities arising from financing activities (note 16).
Revenue recognition
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") which supersedes IAS 11 – Construction
Contracts; IAS 18 – Revenue; IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes; IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate; IFRIC
18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers; and SIC 31 – Revenue – Barter Transactions involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 establishes
a single five-step model framework for determining the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows
arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018,
with early adoption permitted. Either a modified retrospective application or full retrospective application is required for IFRS
15. The Company has elected to apply the full retrospective approach upon transition on January 1, 2018.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that revenue related to the transfer of promised goods or services should be recognized when the control of
the goods or services passes to customers. The Company has evaluated the impact of applying IFRS 15, analyzing its bullion, doré and
concentrate sale agreements. The Company concluded there is no material change in the timing of revenue recognized under the new
standard as the point of transfer of risk and reward for goods and services and transfer of control occur at the same time.
In addition, IFRS 15 requires entities to apportion revenue earned from contracts to distinct performance obligations on a relative standalone
selling price basis. In accordance with the terms of the Company's concentrate agreements, the seller must contract for and pay the shipping
and insurance costs necessary to bring the goods to the named destination. Therefore, where material, a portion of the revenue earned
under these contracts, representing the obligation to fulfill the shipping and insurance services, will be deferred and recognized over time
as the obligations are fulfilled. The impact of this change on the amount of revenue recognized in a year is insignificant.
IFRS 15 contains presentation and disclosure requirements which are more detailed than the current standards, many of which are completely
new. Upon the adoption of IFRS 15, the Company will provide disclosures for each of the Company's revenue streams, which consist of the
Company's bullion, doré and concentrate sales, to supplement the revenue data that are currently presented in the segmented information
disclosure (note 9). New disclosures will be presented relating to the timing of completion of the Company's performance obligations, for
example, upon delivery and/or other points in time, and the portion of revenue related to provisional pricing adjustments on concentrate
sales will also be separately disclosed.
Financial instruments
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") to replace IAS 39 – Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single,
forward-looking 'expected loss' impairment model. IFRS 9 also includes significant changes to hedge accounting. The standard is effective
for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company will apply IFRS 9 at the date it
becomes effective. Except for hedge accounting, retrospective application is required, but the provision of comparative information is not
required. For hedge accounting, the requirements are generally applied prospectively.
The following summarizes the significant changes in IFRS 9 compared to the current standards:
• The classification of financial assets and liabilities is expected to remain consistent under IFRS 9 with the exception of
equity securities. The Company will designate its equity securities as financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income, where they will be recorded initially at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value will be
recognized in other comprehensive income only and will not be transferred into earnings (loss) upon disposition.
• The introduction of the new "expected credit loss" impairment model under IFRS 9, as opposed to an incurred credit loss
model under IAS 39, does not have a significant impact on the Company's accounts receivable given the Company sells
its products exclusively to large international financial institutions and other organizations with strong credit ratings, the
negligible historical level of customer default, and the short term nature of the Company's receivables.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
• The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms currently
available under IAS 39. Under IFRS 9, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for
hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types
of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. As a result, certain of the Company's
hedging strategies and hedging instruments that did not qualify for hedge accounting previously, primarily the hedging
of its forecast concentrate sales, will now be eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been
replaced with the principle of an "economic relationship". Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no
longer required. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity's risk management activities have also been
introduced.
Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 – Leases ("IFRS 16") which replaces IAS 17 – Leases and its associated interpretative guidance.
IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether
the customer controls the asset. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to
the accounting by lessees, introducing a single, on-balance sheet accounting model that is similar to the current finance lease accounting,
with limited exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low value assets. Lessor accounting remains similar to current accounting practice.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early application permitted for entities that apply
IFRS 15. A leasee can choose to apply IFRS 16 using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company plans
to apply IFRS 16 at the date it becomes effective but has not yet selected a transition approach.
Upon the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company anticipates it will record a material balance of lease assets and associated lease liabilities
related to leases with a term of 12 months or more on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2019. Due to the recogniti on of
additional lease assets and liabilities, a higher amount of depreciation expense and interest on lease liabilities will be recognized under
IFRS 16 as compared to the current standard. Additionally, a reduction in production and/or corporate administration costs is expected.
Lastly, the Company expects a reduction in operating cash outflows with a corresponding increase in financing cash outflows under IFRS
16. The Company is in the process of identifying and collecting data relating to existing agreements that may contain right-of-use assets.
These include land easements and service contracts that may contain embedded leases for property, plant and equipment. At this time, it
is not possible for the Company to make reasonable quantitative estimates of the effects of the new standard. The Company estimates the
time frame to develop and implement the accounting policies, estimates and processes (including the information technology systems) will
extend into the latter part of 2018.
The critical judgements that the Company’s management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, apart from
those involving estimations (note 6), that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements are as follows:
Prior to a mine being capable of operating at levels intended by management, costs incurred are capitalized as part of the costs of the
related mining properties and proceeds from mineral sales are offset against costs capitalized. Depletion of capitalized costs for mining
properties begins when the mine is capable of operating at levels intended by management. Management considers several factors
(note 3(m)) in determining when a mining property is capable of operating at levels intended by management.
(b) Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of exploration, evaluation and development costs
Management has determined that exploratory drilling, evaluation, development and related costs incurred which have been capitalized
are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria (note 3(m)) in its assessments of economic recoverability and
probability of future economic benefit including geologic and metallurgic information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to
proven and probable reserves, scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits and life of mine plans.
The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries and investments in associate, is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates. The Company has determined the functional currency of each entity is the US dollar.
Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgements to determine the primary economic environment and the Company
reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic

The Company applies judgement to determine whether an asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition
and that its sale is highly probable and therefore should be classified as held for sale at the balance sheet date. Conditions that support
a highly probable sale include the following: an appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset or disposal
group, an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated, the asset or disposal group has been actively
marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and the sale of the asset or disposal group is expected
to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. At December 31, 2016,
the Company concluded that the assets and liabilities of Los Filos met the criteria for classification as held for sale. Accordingly, the
group of assets and liabilities were presented separately under current assets and current liabilities, respectively, and measured at
the lower of its carrying amount and FVLCD, being its carrying amount. A reversal of impairment loss of $59 million was recorded for
Los Filos during the year ended December 31, 2016 (note 21) to increase its carrying amount to its recoverable amount. A subsequent
impairment of $16 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2017 based on changes to the carrying value of the
Los Filos assets as a result of normal operations prior to its disposal. The assets of Los Filos ceased to be depreciated while they were
classified as held for sale.
The Company also applies judgement to determine whether a component of the Company that either has been disposed of or is
classified as held for sale meets the criteria of a discontinued operation. The key area that involves management judgement in this
determination is whether the component represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation. Given that
the Company continues to operate in Mexico after the disposal of Los Filos, Los Filos was not considered to be a separate major line
of business or geographical area of operation, thus it was not considered to be a discontinued operation.
Determination of whether a set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute the acquisition of a business or asset may require
the Company to make certain judgements as to whether or not the assets acquired and liabilities assumed include the inputs, processes
and outputs necessary to constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. If an acquired set of assets and liabilities
includes goodwill, the set is presumed to be a business. Based on an assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company
concluded that the acquisition of its interests in the Cerro Casale project and Exeter in 2017 and Kaminak in 2016 did not meet the
criteria of a business combination and the transactions have been accounted for as acquisitions of assets (notes 7(a) and 7(b)).
Judgement is required to determine when the Company has control of subsidiaries or joint control of joint arrangements. This requires
an assessment of the relevant activities of the investee, being those activities that significantly affect the investee's returns, including
operating and capital expenditure decision-making, financing of the investee, and the appointment, remuneration and termination of key
management personnel; and when the decisions in relation to those activities are under the control of the Company or require unanimous
consent from the investors. Judgement is also required when determining the classification of a joint arrangement as a joint venture or
a joint operation through an evaluation of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Changes to the Company's access to
those rights and obligations may change the classification of that joint arrangement. In 2017, the Company entered into the following
transactions which required judgement to determine when the Company has control of subsidiaries or joint control of joint arrangements:
a. Acquisition of Exeter
On June 7, 2017, based on the fact that Goldcorp has a majority ownership interest in Exeter, the majority of the Exeter board of
directors were Goldcorp nominees and Exeter's key management personnel was comprised of officers appointed by Goldcorp, the
Company concluded that it has control over Exeter. Accordingly, Exeter met the criteria to be classified as a subsidiary. Commencing
at the acquisition date of June 7, 2017, the financial results of Exeter were included in the results of the consolidated group and
the portion of Exeter's net assets that was not attributable to Goldcorp was accounted for as non-controlling interest (note 7(a)).
Based on assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances, primarily the requirement for unanimous agreement on management
decisions relating to the development and operation of the arrangement, the Company concluded that the Norte Abierto Project is
a jointly controlled entity. Judgement is also required when determining the classification of a joint arrangement as a joint venture
or a joint operation through an evaluation of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Despite the fact that the joint
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
venture is a limited liability company and the parties do not have rights and obligations to individual assets and liabilities, the
Company concluded that the Norte Abierto Project is a joint operation as the arrangement requires the owners to purchase the
output on a pro rata basis, indicating that the entity has rights and obligations to the separate assets and liabilities of the joint
entity. As such, the project has been proportionately consolidated with the results of the consolidated group (note 7(a)).
As Goldcorp owns greater than 20% of Leagold, Goldcorp is considered to have significant influence over Leagold, and therefore, is
required to account for its interest in Leagold using the equity method (note 8(a)).
The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that CGUs are
impaired or reversal of impairment is needed. External sources of information the Company considers include changes in the market,
economic and legal environment in which the Company operates that are not within its control and are expected to affect the recoverable
amount of CGUs. Internal sources of information the Company considers include the manner in which mining properties and plant and
equipment are being used or are expected to be used and indications of economic performance of the assets. The primary external
factors considered are changes in spot and forecast metal prices, changes in laws and regulations and the Company's market
capitalization relative to its net asset carrying amount. Primary internal factors considered are the Company's current mine performance
against expectations, changes in mineral reserves and resources, life of mine plans and exploration results.
At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the Company's net assets exceeded the Company's market capitalization, which the
Company's management considered to be an impairment indicator of certain of the Company's CGUs as of December 31, 2017.
Management also identified certain CGU-specific impairment and impairment reversal indicators as of December 31, 2017 (note 21).
Accordingly, the recoverable value was estimated and compared against the carrying value for the material CGUs of the Company,
which resulted in the Company recognizing an impairment expense for Red Lake and reversals of impairment for Pueblo Viejo and
Porcupine (note 21).
The Company’s operations involve dealing with uncertainties and judgements in the application of complex tax regulations in multiple
jurisdictions. The final income taxes paid and value added tax (“VAT”) refunds received are dependent upon many factors, including
negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions and resolution of issues arising from VAT and/or income tax audits, such
as the Company’s intercompany charges (note 30(a)).
The Company recognizes potential liabilities and records tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions and matters identified based on its
judgement of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing
facts and circumstances; however,due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment
that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the tax liabilities. If the Company’s estimate of tax liabilities proves
to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be
greater than the ultimate assessment, a tax benefit would result.
VAT receivables are generated on the purchase of supplies and services in most of the jurisdictions that the Company operates in.
Timing and collection of VAT receivables is uncertain as VAT refund procedures in certain jurisdictions require a significant amount of
information and follow-up. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk, credit risk and currency risk with respect to its VAT receivables
if tax authorities are unwilling to make payments in a timely manner in accordance with the Company’s refund requests. The Company
regularly monitors actual and projected collections of its VAT receivables to inform its assessment as to the collectability of the VAT
receivables and classification as current and non-current assets.
In June 2017, the Mexican government’s tax authority indicated that it had experienced an increase in VAT refund requests and as a
result had commenced more in-depth assessments of the requests. In 2017, the Company collected $269 million of VAT refunds from
the Mexican government, but the Mexican tax authority said it would withhold a portion of the VAT refunds until the authority’s evaluations
are complete. At December 31, 2017, the total VATreceivable due to the Company from Mexican tax authorities was $186 million
(December 31, 2016 – $237 million), including the tax receivables retained on the sale of Los Filos (note 8(a)). The Company reassessed
the collectability and classification of its Mexican VAT receivables and determined that no allowance was necessary in respect of
collectability, but has classified $29 million of the $186 million VAT receivable balance at December 31, 2017 as a non- current asset. If
on review of the Company’s VAT refund requests, the Mexican tax authority disallows any portion of the Company’s VAT refund requests
then an additional charge to expense may result.

(i) Contingencies
Contingencies can be either possible assets or liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will be resolved only when
one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. Such contingencies include, but are not limited to, environmental obligations,
litigation, regulatory proceedings, tax matters and losses results from other events and developments. The assessment of the existence
and potential impact of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement regarding the outcome of future events.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires that the Company’smanagement make assumptions and estimates of effects
of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Actual results
may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Actual future outcomes could differ from present estimates
and assumptions, potentially having material future effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Estimates are reviewed on
an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other facts and circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects
on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.
The significant assumptions about the future and other major sources of estimation uncertainty as at the end of the reporting period that
have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are as follows:
In determining the recoverable amounts of the Company’s mining interests, the Company primarily uses estimates of the discounted
future after-tax cash flows expected to be derived from the Company’s mining properties, costs to sell the mining properties and the
appropriate discount rate. The projected cash flows are significantly affected by changes in assumptions related to metal prices, changes
in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential, production cost estimates, future capital expenditures,
discount rates and exchange rates.
Significant changes in metal price forecasts, the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential, estimated future
costs of production, capital expenditures, and/or the impact of changes in current economic conditions may result in a write-down or
reversal of impairment of the carrying amounts of the Company’s mining interests and/or goodwill.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a net impairment expense of $244 million (2016 – net impairment
reversal of $49 million) in respect of the carrying amounts of certain mining interests (note 21).
At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the Company’s mining interests was $20,047 million (December 31, 2016 – $19,572
million) (notes 19 and 20).
The carrying amounts of the Company’s mining properties are depleted based on recoverable ounces contained in proven and probable
reserves and a portion of resources. The Company includes a portion of resources where it is considered probable that those resources
will be economically extracted. Changes to estimates of recoverable ounces and depletable costs including changes resulting from
revisions to the Company’s mine plans and changes in metal price forecasts can result in changes to future depletion rates.
Plant and equipment not depleted on a unit of production basis based on recoverable ounces are depleted on a straight-line basis.
Changes to estimates of the useful life and residual value may be impacted by the Company's mine plans and rate of usage of these
capital assets.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
(c) Deferred stripping costs
In determining whether stripping costs incurred during the production phase of an open pit mining property relate to reserves and
resources that will be mined in a future period and therefore should be capitalized, the Company makes estimates of the stripping
activity over the life of the component of reserves and resources which have been made accessible. Changes in estimated strip ratios
can result in a change to the future capitalization of stripping costs incurred. At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of stripping
costs capitalized and included in mining properties was $204 million (December 31, 2016 – $205 million).
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future
taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that
tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities (note 14). In making its assessments, management
gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based
on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. Forecasted cash flows from
operations are based on life of mine projections internally developed and reviewed by management. Weight is attached to tax planning
opportunities that are within the Company’s control, and are feasible and implementable without significant obstacles. The likelihood
that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities is assessed based on individual facts and
circumstances of the relevant tax position evaluated in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are
either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that
materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses the
probability of realizing unrecognized income tax assets.
The Company’s provision for reclamation and closure cost obligations represents management’s best estimate of the present value of
the future cash outflows required to settle the liability which reflects estimates of future costs, inflation, movements in foreign exchange
rates, assumptions of risks associated with the future cash outflows and assumptions of probabilities of alternative estimates of future
cash outflows, and the applicable risk-free interest rates for discounting those future cash outflows. Significant judgements and estimates
are required in forming assumptions of future activities, future cash outflows and the timing of those cash outflows. These assumptions
are formed based on environmental and regulatory requirements and the Company’s environmental policies which may give rise to
constructive obligations. The Company’s assumptions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect
management’s current best estimate and changes in any of the above factors can result in a change to the provision recognized by the
Company. At December 31, 2017, the Company’s total provision for reclamation and closure cost obligations was $599 million
(December 31, 2016 – $622 million). The undiscounted value of these obligations at December 31, 2017 was $1,572 million (December
31, 2016 – $1,786 million) (note 25).
For the purpose of calculating the present value of the provision for reclamation and closure cost obligations, the Company discounts
the estimated future cash outflows using the risk-free interest rate applicable to the future cash outflows, which is the appropriate US
Treasuryrisk-free rate which reflects the reclamation lifecycle estimated for all sites, including operating, inactive and closed mines and
development projects. For those sites with a greater than 100-year reclamation lifecycle, a long-term risk-free rate is applied.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company applied a 20-year risk-free rate of 2.94% (2016 – 2.94%) to all sites with the
exception of those sites with a reclamation lifecycle of greater than 100 years where a 5.0% (2016 – 5.0%) risk-free rate was applied,
which resulted in a weighted average discount rate of 4.1% (2016 – 4.1%).
Changes to reclamation and closure cost obligations are recorded with a corresponding change to the carrying amounts of the related
mining properties (for operating mines and development projects) and as production costs (for inactive and closed mines) for the period.
Adjustments to the carrying amounts of related mining properties can result in a change to future depletion expense.
(f) Contingencies
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time. In
the event that management’s estimate of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the
changes in its consolidated financial statements on the date such changes occur (note 30).

7. ACQUISITIONS
On June 9, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of a 50% interest in the Cerro Casale Project. The transaction was executed
in multiple steps, including the acquisition of a 25% interest by Goldcorp in the project from each of Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross")
and Barrick, which resulted in Barrick and Goldcorp each owning 50% of the project and subsequently forming a 50/50 joint operation
with Barrick. The Cerro Casale Project is located in the Maricunga Gold Belt in the Atacama Region in northern Chile.
The Company also acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Exeter and its Caspiche Project, also located in the Maricunga
Gold Belt. After completing the acquisition of the 100% interest in Exeter, Goldcorp contributed the Caspiche Project into the joint
operation with Barrick, which resulted in a 50% interest held by each of Barrick and Goldcorp in the combined project, Norte Abierto.
• Acquisition of an additional 25% interest in Cerro Casale from Barrick for: (i) a deferred payment obligation of $260 million
to be satisfied through the funding of 100% of the joint operation’sexpenditures (as described below); (ii) the granting
of a 1.25% royalty interest to Barrick on 25% of gross revenues derived from metal production from Cerro Casale and
Quebrada Seca; (iii) a contingent payment of $40 million payable after a decision to commence construction at Cerro
Casale; and (iv) the transfer to Barrick of a 50% interest in Quebrada Seca, followed by the joint contribution by
Goldcorp and Barrick of 100% of Quebrada Seca to the joint operation.
• Acquisition of Exeter and its 100% owned Caspiche Project: under the terms of the supported takeover bid, Exeter
shareholders received 0.12 of a common share of Goldcorp for each Exeter common share held. During the year ended
December 31, 2017, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Exeter for share
consideration of $156 million in Goldcorp common shares.
• Formation of a new 50/50 joint operation with Barrick: The joint operation, Norte Abiero, includes a 100% interest in each
of the Cerro Casale and Quebrada Seca projects. Additionally, the Caspiche Project was contributed to the joint
operation after the Company acquired Exeter. 50% of Caspiche’s acquisition cost, or approximately $80 million, has
been credited against Goldcorp’s deferred payment obligation to Barrick. Additionally, Goldcorp will be required to
spend a minimum of $60 million in the two-year period following closing of the Cerro Casale transaction, and a
minimum of $80 million in each successive two-year period until the deferred payment obligation is satisfied, at which
point Goldcorp and Barrick will equally fund requirements of the joint operation. If Goldcorp does not spend the
minimum in any two-year period, Goldcorp will instead be required to make a payment to Barrick equal to 50% of the
shortfall, with a corresponding reduction in the deferred payment obligation. As of December 31, 2017, the deferred
payment obligation amounted to $182 million (December 31, 2016 – $nil).
The total amount of consideration paid for the acquisition of the 50% interest in the Cerro Casale and Quebrada Seca projects was
$526 million, comprised of a $260 million initial cash payment to Kinross, the $260 million deferred payment obligation to Barrick and
$6 million of transaction costs. The deferred obligation payment includes an annual price adjustment of 4.75% per annum. The royalty
interests for future production and contingent payments to Barrick and Kinross stipulated in the agreements will be recognized as
production costs and mining interests, respectively, if and when, the obliging events occur.
The Company concluded the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Cerro Casale did not constitute a business and accordingly the
transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
on a relative fair value basis as follows: $449 million to mining interest, $59 million representing water rights presented as non-current
asset, $21 million to tax receivables and $3 million to reclamation and other current liabilities. Additionally, the Company concluded
that the Cerro Casale Project is a joint operation, as such, it has been proportionately consolidated with the results of the Company.
The Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Exeter for total consideration of
$156 million based on the closing price of the Company's common shares on the dates of acquisition, including transaction costs and
other adjustments of $7 million. The Company concluded the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Exeter did not constitute a
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
business and accordingly the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Thenoted)
consideration paid was allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis with $160 million allocated to mining interests, and $3 million
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
to working capital.
On July 19, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kaminak by way
of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") for total consideration of $406 million based on the closing price of the Company's common
shares on the date of acquisition, including transaction costs of $6 million. Pursuant to the Arrangement, each common share of Kaminak
was exchanged for 0.10896 of a common share of the Company. Kaminak's principal asset is the 100% owned Coffee project, a
hydrothermal gold deposit located approximately 130 kilometres south of the City of Dawson, Yukon. Coffee is a high-grade, open pit,
heap leach mining project.
The Company concluded that the acquired assets and assumed liabilities did not constitute a business and accordingly the transaction
was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a
relative fair value basis with $386 million allocated to mining interests and the remaining $20 million allocated to deferred income
tax asset ($9 million) and working capital items ($11 million). The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been assigned to and
included in Other in the segment information disclosure (note 9).
8. DIVESTITURES
On April 7, 2017, the Company completed the sale of Los Filos to Leagold and received total consideration of $350 million, before
working capital adjustments. The consideration was comprised of $71 million of Leagold common shares, $250 million in cash and a
$29 million short-term promissory note which was paid in July 2017. The Company also retained rights to certain VAT receivables of
approximately $100 million. At December 31, 2017, the balance of the VAT receivables was $13 million (December 31, 2016 – $nil) and
was collected in January 2018. The amount was included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At December 31, 2016, the sale was considered highly probable; therefore, the assets and liabilities of Los Filos were classified as
assets and liabilities held for sale and presented separately under current assets and current liabilities, respectively. In connection with
the transaction, the Company recognized a net reversal of the 2015 impairment of mining interests of $43 million; an impairment reversal
of $59 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2016 based on estimated proceeds from the sale. A subsequent
impairment of $16 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2017 based on changes to the carrying value of the Los
Filos assets as a result of normal operations. There was no gain or loss on the disposition.

(b) Divestiture of Cerro Blanco
On May 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of the Cerro Blanco Project in Guatemala to Bluestone Resources Inc. ("Bluestone")
for total consideration of $22 million, comprised of $18 million in cash, and 3 million Bluestone common shares with a fair value of
$4 million. Goldcorp will receive an additional $15 million cash payment from Bluestone upon declaration of commercial production
at Cerro Blanco and a 1% net smelter return royalty on production.
Immediately prior to the classification to assets and liabilities as held for sale, the carrying amount of Cerro Blanco was remeasured to
its recoverable amount, being its fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD"), based on the expected proceeds from the sale. As a result,
the Company recorded an impairment reversal during the year ended December 31, 2017 of $19 million. Subsequently, on completion
of the sale, the Company recognized a loss on the disposal of $6 million ($6 million, net of tax), net of transaction costs of $1 million.
Cerro Blanco's assets and liabilities were presented in Other in the segment information disclosure up to the date of disposition (note
9).
On November 7, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its 100% interest in the Camino Rojo Project, part of the Peñasquito mine
located in Mexico, to Orla Mining Ltd. ("Orla"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received approximately 19.9% of the
issued and outstanding shares of Orla valued at $34 million and will receive a 2% net smelter return royalty on revenues from all metal
production from the Camino Rojo oxide project. The Company also has the option to acquire up to 70% interest in future sulphide
projects, subject to certain criteria. The shares were recorded as investment in securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The value
of consideration received was credited to mining interests associated with Peñasquito, resulting in $nil gain or loss on disposition.
9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating results of operating segments are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about
resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. The Company considers each individual mine site as operating
segments for financial reporting purposes except as noted below.
Following the Company's acquisition and divestitures, and the closure of Marlin in 2017, the Company reassessed its segments for financial
reporting purposes. The Company concluded that Marlin and Los Filos are no longer operating segments and are included in Other; they
were previously included in the Other mines operating segment. The Company's 37.5% interest in Alumbrera, which was previously reported
as Other associate, and Leagold are also presented in Other, because their financial results do not meet the quantitative threshold required
for segment disclosure purposes. Prior periods' results have been re-presented to reflect the current presentation.
Assets in Other also include the Company's 100% interest in the Coffee Project, the Company's 50% interests in the NuevaUnión and the
Norte Abierto projects, corporate assets and the Company's closed and inactive mines. Liabilities in Other include the Company's $1.0
billion notes, $1.5 billion notes, $182 million of deferred payment obligation (note 7(a)), the revolving credit facility, asset retirement
obligations for closed and inactive mines and certain income taxes payable.

the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a net foreign exchange of $23 million (2016 – $68 million) which
would primarily be allocated to the Peñasquito and Cerro Negro segments.
(d) The attributable segment information relating to Pueblo Viejo, NuevaUnión and Alumbrera, as reviewed by the CODM,
is based on the Company's proportionate share of profits and expenditures on mining interests. However, as required by
IFRS, the Company's investments in Pueblo Viejo, NuevaUnión and Alumbrera are accounted for in these consolidated
financial statements using the equity method (note 20). Alumbrera and NuevaUnión are presented in Other.
(e) During the year ended December 31, 2016, $22 million of corporate restructuring costs (note 11) were included in
Other. There were no restructuring costs included in Other during the year ended December 31, 2017.
(f) On February 15, 2017, the Company paid cash consideration of $65 million and recognized a $2 million loss on the
acquisition of the 4% gold stream on the El Morro deposit, part of the Company's NuevaUnión joint venture, from New
Gold Inc. eliminating the Company's obligation to New Gold Inc.
(g) Earnings (loss) from operations, associates and joint venture includes $244 million of net impairment expense ($23

11. RESTRUCTURING COSTS
The Company incurred $4 million in restructuring costs during the year ended December 31, 2017 (2016 – $50 million), of which $nil related
to the accelerated vesting of share-based compensation (2016 – $4 million). The restructuring costs relate primarily to severance costs
associated with involuntary and voluntary workforce reduction initiatives to improve efficiencies at mine sites and corporate offices. At
December 31, 2017, $2 million (December 31, 2016 – $16 million) of the restructuring costs was included in accrued liabilities. During the
year ended December 31, 2017, $18 million (2016 – $34 million) of the accrued liabilities was paid.

14. INCOME TAXES
Income tax (recovery) expense differs from the amount that would result from applying the Canadian federal and provincial income tax
rates to earnings before taxes. These differences result from the following items:
(2)
In December 2017, Argentina enacted corporate tax changes which included a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 30% for
2018 and 2019, with a further reduction to 25% for 2020 and thereafter. Concurrently, a dividend distribution tax was introduced
which charges an effective tax of 5% and 10% on dividend distributions for 2018 and 2019, and 2020 and thereafter, respectively. The
Argentine tax rate reduction resulted in a deferred tax recovery of $156 million in 2017.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where

15. PER SHARE INFORMATION
Net earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2017 was calculated based on basic and diluted net earnings of $658 million,
(2016 – $162 million) and the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation was based on the following:
The outstanding equity instruments that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were not included in the
calculation of diluted net earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2017 because they were anti-dilutive, were 7 million
stock options (2016 – 11 million).
On February 25, 2016, the Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share, effective April 1, 2016, with the first payment
in June 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company declared dividends of $0.08 per share for total dividends of
$70 million, respectively (2016 – $0.12 per share for dividends of $102 million).
On May 11, 2016, the Company announced that it implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") which allows shareholders the
opportunity to increase their investment in Goldcorp without additional transaction costs by receiving dividend payments in the form of
common shares of the Company. The DRIP allows shareholders to reinvest their cash dividends into additional common shares issued
from treasury at a 3% discount to the average market price calculated at the time of dividend payment. Participation in the DRIP is
optional and will not affect shareholders’ cash dividends unless they elect to participate in the DRIP. During the year ended December
31, 2017, the Company issued $8 million (2016 – $5 million) in common shares under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

(December 31, 2016 – $299 million) (note 24).
(i) Certain of the mining properties in which the Company has interests are subject to royalty arrangements based on their
net smelter returns ("NSR"s), modified NSRs, net profits interest ("NPI"), net earnings, and/or gross revenues. Royalties
are expensed at the time of sale of gold and other metals. For the year ended December 31, 2017, royalties included in
production costs amounted to $78 million (2016 – $69 million) (note 10). At December 31, 2017, the significant royalty
arrangements of the Company and its associates, joint venture and joint operation were as follows:
At December 31, 2017, the Company had a 40% interest in Pueblo Viejo, a 50% interest in NuevaUnión, a 22.9% interest in Leagold (included
in "Other") and a 37.5% interest in Alumbrera (included in "Other"). These investments are accounted for using the equity method and
included in mining interests. The Company adjusts each associate and joint venture’s financial results, where appropriate, to give effect to
uniform accounting policies.

(a) In June 2009, the Company entered into a $400 million shareholder loan agreement with Pueblo Viejo with a term of
fifteen years. In April 2012, additional funding of $300 million was issued to Pueblo Viejo with a term of twelve years.
Both loans bear interest at 95% of LIBOR plus 2.95% payable semi-annually in arrears on February 28 and August 31 of
each year. The loan has no set repayment terms. At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the Company's share of
shareholder loans to Pueblo Viejo was $506 million (December 31, 2016 – $537 million), which is included in the
Company's investments in associates and is being accreted to the face value over the term of the loans. Included in other
current assets of the Company was a total of $4 million (December 31, 2016 – $31 million) in interest receivable relating
to the shareholder loan.
(b) The Company's investments in other associates are comprised of its interests in Alumbrera and Leagold. Effective January
1, 2016, the Company discontinued recognizing its share of earnings (loss) of Alumbrera because the Company's share of
losses exceeded its interest in Alumbrera. Additional losses in the future will be provided to the extent the Company has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of Alumbrera. Any future earnings of Alumbrera
will be recognized by the Company only after the Company's share of future earnings equals its share of losses not
recognized.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a reduction of $45 noted)
million (year ended December 31, 2016 – $nil)
in the Company's provision to fund its share of Alumbrera's reclamation and closure cost obligations which has been classified as
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
Share of Net Earnings Related to Associate and Joint Venture in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The reduction in the provision
reflects the expectation that Alumbrera will be able to fund a greater portion of its reclamation costs than previously estimated due to
improved financial results, primarily as a result of higher realized copper prices.
(c) At December 31, 2017, NuevaUnión held $15 million (December 31, 2016 – $3 million) of cash and cash equivalents, $21
million (December 31, 2016 – $4 million) of total current financial liabilities and $nil million (December 31, 2016 – $nil)
of total non-current financial liabilities which have been included in the total of current assets, current liabilities and non-
current liabilities, respectively. At December 31, 2017, NuevaUnión's capital and operating commitments amounted to
$92 million (December 31, 2016 – $39 million).
For the year ended December 31, the Company recognized an impairment expense of $244 million ($23 million reversal of impairment, net
of tax recovery) in respect of the following CGUs:
2017 2016
Red Lake $ 889 $ —
Porcupine (99) —
Pueblo Viejo (557) —
Other (1) 11 (49)
Total impairment expense (reversal) $ 244 $ (49)
(1)
Includes impairment reversal, net, recognized for Los Filos in 2017 and 2016 and impairment expense for Cerro Blanco in 2017 (notes
8(a), (d)).
The recoverable amounts of the Company’s CGUs are based primarily on the future after-tax cashflows expected to be derived from the
Company’smining properties and represent each CGU’sFVLCD, a Level 3 fair value measurement. The projected cash flows used in impairment
testing are significantly affected by changes in assumptions for metal prices, changes in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and
exploration potential, production costs estimates, capital expenditures estimates, discount rates, and exchange rates. For the year ended
December 31, 2017, the Company's impairment testing incorporated the following key assumptions:
During the year ended December 31, 2017, projected cash flows were discounted using an after -tax discount rate of 5% which
represented the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and which included estimates for risk-free interest rates, market value
of the Company’s equity, market return on equity, share volatility and debt-to-equity financing ratio.
Pricing assumptions
Metal pricing included in the cash flow projections beyond five years is based on historical volatility and consensus analyst pricing.
The metal prices assumptions used in the Company's impairment assessments in 2017 were as follows:
(i) Additional CGU-specific assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts of the CGUs that resulted in
impairment expense and reversal of impairment during the year ended December 31, 2017 were as follows:
Red Lake
The Red Lake CGU includes the Cochenour and HG Young Deposit. The recoverable amount of Cochenour was negatively impacted
primarily due to lower grade as indicated in the 2017 mineral reserve estimate. In addition, the life of mine assessment included a
longer than expected time line for conversion to bulk mining, resulting in a lower recoverable value. The Company has recognized an
impairment expense of $889 million ($610 million, net of tax) against the carrying value of the Red Lake CGU at December 31,
2017.
Porcupine
The Porcupine CGU includes the Borden and the Century projects. In 2017, the Century project completed a base case pre-
feasibility study,increasing the Porcupine mineral reserve estimate by 4.7 million ounces. A life of mine assessment was completed
which reflected expected synergies across the Porcupine CGU associated with the Century and Borden projects. As a result, the
Company reversed the remaining unamortized impairment recognized for the Porcupine CGU in prior years of $99 million ($84
million, net of tax).
Pueblo Viejo
During the years ended December 2017 and 2016, Pueblo Viejo has generated significantly higher cash flows from operations
than the amount assumed in the recoverable value estimation at December 31, 2015. In 2017, Pueblo Viejo set new records for
the crushing and autoclave circuits as performance continued to improve beyond prior expectations. As a result of the CGU's
continued strong performance and higher long-term metal prices, the Company recognized a reversal of the remaining unamortized
impairment of $557 million ($557 million, net of tax) related to its investment in Pueblo Viejo at December 31, 2017. After tax income
from associates, including the reversal of impairment of Pueblo Viejo, is not subject to further income tax in the accounts of the
Company.
2016 impairments
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized reversal of impairment of $59 million related to Los Filos. The recoverable
amount of Los Filos, being its FVLCD, was $430 million based on the expected proceeds from the sale (note 8(a)). The Company also recognized
an impairment expense of $10 million related to certain land at Marlin. At December 31, 2016, the land had a recoverable amount of $nil,
being its FVLCD, due to the mine's near-closure status. Los Filos and Marlin mine are both included in the Other mines reportable operating
segment.There were no other indications that the Company's CGUs may be impaired or that an impairment reversal was required.

(b) The $1.5 billion Notes consist of $500 million in 5-year notes ("5-year Notes") and $1.0 billion in 10-year notes ("10-
year Notes"). In 2013, the Company received total proceeds of $1.48 billion from the issuance of the $1.5 billion Notes,
net of transaction costs. The
$1.5 billion Notes are unsecured and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year,beginning
on September 15, 2013. The $1.5 billion Notes are callable at anytime by the Company prior to maturity, subject to make-whole
provisions. The 5-year Notes and the 10-year Notes are accreted to face value over their respective terms using annual effective interest
rates of 2.37% and 3.84%, respectively.
(c) In June 2017, the Company extended the term of its $3.0 billion revolving credit facility to June 22, 2022, under
existing terms and conditions. The credit facility bears interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%. During the year ended
December 31, 2017, the average interest rate paid by the Company on the loan was 3.2% (2016 – 2.4%).

(a) The Company incurs reclamation and closure cost obligations relating to its operating, inactive and closed mines and
development projects. At December 31, 2017, the present value of obligations relating to these sites was estimated at
$355 million, $238 million and $6 million, respectively (December 31, 2016 – $350 million, $267 million and $5 million,
respectively) reflecting anticipated cash flows to be incurred over approximately the next 100 years, with the majority
estimated to be incurred within the next 20 years. Significant reclamation and closure activities include land rehabilitation,
demolition of buildings and mine facilities, ongoing care and maintenance and monitoring.
The total provision for reclamation and closure cost obligations at December 31, 2017 was $599 million (December 31, 2016 – $622
million) and was calculated using a weighted average discount rate of 4.1% (2016 – 4.1%). The undiscounted value of these obligations
was $1,572 million (December 31, 2016 – $1,786 million), calculated using a weighted average inflation rate assumption of 2.16% (2016
– 2.74%).
Changes to the reclamation and closure cost obligations during the years ended December 31 were as foll ows:

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS
As part of Goldcorp's Financial Risk Management Policy, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, the Company can
elect to hedge up to a maximum of 50%, 30% and 10% of forecasted operating, exploration, general administrative and sustaining
capital ("operating and sustaining") expenditures over the next 12 months, subsequent 13 to 24 months and subsequent 25 to 36
months, respectively. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the
Company to hedge up to 50% of Mexican peso denominated forecasted expenditures in 2016 through 2018 for an expansionary
capital project, the Pyrite Leach project (“PLP”), at Peñasquito. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company designated
Mexican peso currency contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated Mexican peso denominated PLP expenditures and operating
and sustaining expenditures for Peñasquito. At December 31, 2017, the notional amount of these contracts was 2,245 million
Mexican pesos, which are due to be settled within one year (2016 – 4,379 million Mexican pesos and 2,245 million Mexican pesos
within year 1 and 2 years, respectively).
The net gain on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the year ended December 31, 2017 recorded in OCI was $15 million
(2016 – loss of $15 million), net of tax expense of $8 million (2016 – net of tax recovery of $7 million), which represented the effective
portion of the change in fair value of the hedges. The gain on the ineffective portion of the hedges of $7 million (2016 –
$nil) was included in gain on derivatives, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The net (loss) gain on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments for the years ended December 31 were comprised of the

(d) Fair value information
(i) Fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value
The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements are as follows:
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices)
or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on
the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:
At December 31, 2017, there were no financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, there were
no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that would be categorized
as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized impairment
expense and reversals of impairment for certain of its mining interests, which adjusted their carrying amounts to their recoverable
amounts, being their FVLCD. Valuation techniques and inputs used in the calculation of these fair value based amounts are categorized
as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (note 21).
(ii) Valuation methodologies used in the measurement of fair value for Level 2 financial assets and liabilities
The Company’s metal concentrate sales contracts are subject to provisional pricing with the final selling price adjusted at the end of
the quotational period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s accounts receivable relating to these contracts are marked-
to-market based on quoted forward prices for which there exists an active commodity market.
The Company's derivative assets and liabilities were comprised of investments in warrants and foreign currency forward contracts. The
fair values of the warrants are calculated using an option pricing model which utilizes a combination of quoted prices and market- derived
inputs, including volatility estimates. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued using a combination of quoted prices and market-
derived inputs including credit spreads.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
(iii) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities not already measured at fair value
At December 31, 2017, the fair values of the Company's notes payable and deferred payment obligation, as compared to the carrying
amounts, were as follows:
Carrying
Level Input amount (1) Fair value
$1.0 billion notes 1 Closing price $ 994 $ 1,087
$1.5 billion notes 1 Closing price 1,507 1,530
Deferred payment obligation 2 4.75% (2) 182 182
(1)
Includes accrued interest payable.
(2)
Represents the Company's current rate of borrowing.
At December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts of the Company's short-term investments, other current financial assets, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities and other current financial liabilities were considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values due
to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk in
accordance with its Financial Risk Management Policy. The Company’s Board of Directors oversees management’srisk management
practices by setting trading parameters and reporting requirements. The Financial Risk Management Policy provides a framework for
the Company to manage the risks it is exposed to in various markets and to protect itself against adverse price movements. All
transactions undertaken were to support the Company’s ongoing business. The Company does not acquire or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The following describes the types of risks that the Company is exposed to and its objectives and policies for managing those risk
exposures:
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Company by failing to discharge
its obligations. Credit risk is primarily associated with trade receivables; however, it also arises on cash and cash equivalents, short
term investments, derivative assets, other receivables and accrued interest receivable. To mitigate exposure to credit risk on financial
assets, the Company has established policies to limit the concentration of credit risk, to ensure counterparties demonstrate minimum
acceptable credit worthiness and to ensure liquidity of available funds.
The Company closely monitors its financial assets and does not have any significant concentration of credit risk. The Company sells
its products exclusively to large international financial institutions and other organizations with strong credit ratings. The historical
level of customer defaults has been negligible and, as a result, the credit risk associated with trade receivables at December 31, 2017
is considered to be negligible. The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents and short term investments in highly-rated corporations
and government issuances in accordance with its Short-term Investment Policy and the credit risk associated with its investments is
considered to be low. Foreign currency and commodity contracts are entered into with large international financial institutions with
strong credit ratings.

(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The
Company has in place a rigorous planning, budgeting and forecasting process to help determine the funds required to support the
Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis, its expansionary plans and its dividend distributions. The Company
ensures that sufficient committed loan facilities exist to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated
cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company generated cash flows from operations, one of the Company's main sources
of liquidity, of $1,211 million (year ended December 31, 2016 – $799 million). At December 31, 2017, Goldcorp held cash and cash
equivalents of $186 million (December 31, 2016 – $157 million) and short-term investments of $48 million (December 31, 2016 – $43
million). At December 31, 2017, the Company's working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was negative $112
million (December 31, 2016 – positive $791 million), which was primarily due to the Company's $499 million of long term debt becoming
current at December 31, 2017. The Company intends to repay the debt due in March 2018 using cash flow from operations, draws on
its credit facility and/or other short term bank facilities. At December 31, 2016, $430 million of the total working capital was comprised
of the Company's net assets held for sale (notes 8(a)).
In 2017, the Company extended the term of its $3.0 billion revolving credit facility to June 22, 2022. At December 31, 2017, the balance
outstanding on the revolving credit facility was $nil (December 31, 2016 – $30 million) with $3.0 billion available for the Company's
use (December 31, 2016 – $2.97 billion). Certain of the Company's borrowings are subject to various financial and general covenants
with which the Company was in compliance at December 31, 2017.
At December 31, 2017, the Company had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $420 million (December 31, 2016 – $423 million)
of which $323 million (December 31, 2016 – $303 million) represented guarantees for reclamation obligations. The Company's capital
commitments for the next twelve months amounted to $409 million at December 31, 2017, including the Company's funding obligation
for the Norte Abierto project for the next twelve months. During 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to
construct the Coffee project and to potentially manage its initial two years of operation. The expected total capital and ope rating
expenditures under the agreement are $298 million and $397 million, respectively, with the majority of the amount to be spent evenly
throughout 2019 to 2023. The Company can terminate the contract at any time without penalty, with no further obligations other than
payment for work completed to the date of termination of the contract with the vendor.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The
following table summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities and operating and capital
commitments, shown in contractual undiscounted cashflows:

(iii) Market risk
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes
in foreign exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations. Gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc are sold in US dollars and the Company’s costs are incurred principally in US dollars, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos
and Argentinean pesos. The appreciation or depreciation of non-US dollar currencies against the US dollar can increase or decrease the
cost of metal production and capital expenditures in US dollar terms. The Company also holds cash and cash equivalents that are
denominated in non-US dollar currencies which are subject to currency risk. Accounts receivable and other current and non- current
assets denominated in non-US dollar currencies relate to goods and services taxes, income taxes, value-added taxes and insurance
receivables. The Company is further exposed to currency risk through non-monetary assets and liabilities and tax bases of assets,
liabilities and losses of entities whose taxable profit or tax loss are denominated in non-US currencies. Changes in exchange rates give
rise to temporary differences resulting in a deferred tax liability or asset with the resulting deferred tax charged or credited to income
tax expense.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, and in accordance with its Financial Risk Management Policy, the Company entered into
Mexican peso forward contracts to purchase the foreign currency at pre-determined US dollar amounts. The Company hedges a portion
of its future forecasted Mexican Pesos denominated operating and capital expenditures to reduce the currency risk exposure to the
Mexican Pesos (note 27(b)(i)).
As of December 31, 2017, the Company was primarily exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities,
income and other taxes receivables (payables) and deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies:
(1)
Calculated based on fluctuations of foreign exchange rates during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk primarily on its outstanding debt subject
to floating rates of interest, its shareholder loan related to Pueblo Viejo, its cash and cash equivalents, and interest-bearing receivables.
The Company is exposed to interest rate fair value risk primarily on its debt subject to fixed rates of interest (note 23). The Company
monitors its exposure to interest rates and is comfortable with its exposures given its mix of fixed-and floating-rate debt, with 100%
of total debt at December 31, 2017 subject to fixed rates, and the relatively low rate on its debt. The weighted-average interest rate
paid by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2017 on its revolving credit facility, subject to floating rates of interest was
3.0% (2016 – 2.0%). The average interest rate earned by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2017 on its cash and cash
equivalents was 0.72% (2016 – 0.14%).
A 10% increase or decrease in the interest earned from financial institutions on deposits held would result in a nominal increase or
decrease in the Company’s net earnings. There was no significant change in the Company's exposure to interest rate risk during the
year ended December 31, 2017.
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes
in market prices. There was no significant change to the Company’s exposure to price risk during the year ended December 31, 2017.
The Company has a policy not to hedge gold sales. In accordance with the Company’s Financial Risk Management Policy, the Company
may hedge up to 50%, 30%, and 10% of its by-product base metal sales volume over the next 12 months, subsequent 13 to 24 months,
and subsequent 25 to 36 months, respectively, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in base metal prices. At December 31, 2017, the
Company had hedged approximately 7% and 6%, respectively of its forecast zinc and lead sales from January 1, 2018 to December 31,
2018. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Company hedged
an additional 20% and 10%, respectively, of its forecast zinc and lead sales for the next 12 months. These contracts have been
designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
The Company holds certain investments in available-for-sale equity securities which are measured at fair value, being the closing
share price of each equity security, at the balance sheet date. The Company is exposed to changes in share prices which would result
in gains and losses being recognized in other comprehensive income.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
27. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
The Company’s objectives of capital management are to safeguard its ability to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an
ongoing basis, continue the development and exploration of its mineral properties and support any expansionary plans.
The capital of the Company consists of items included in shareholders’ equity and debt, net of cash and cash equivalents and short term
investments as follows:
At December 31 At December 31
2017 2016
Shareholders’ equity $ 14,184 $ 13,415

Less:
Cash and cash equivalents (186) (157)
Short term investments (48) (43)
$ 16,433 $ 15,725
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in its economic environment and the risk characteristics
of the Company’sassets. To effectively manage the entity’scapital requirements, the Company has instituted a rigorous planning, budgeting
and forecasting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating
and growth objectives. The Company ensures that there are sufficient committed loan facilities to meet its short-term business requirements,
taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents and short term investments.
At December 31, 2017, the Company expects its capital resources and projected future cash flows from operations to support its normal
operating requirements on an ongoing basis, and planned development and exploration of its mineral properties and other expansionary
plans. At December 31, 2017, there was no externally imposed capital requirement to which the Company was subject and with which the
Company did not comply.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where

28. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND OTHER RELATED INFORMATION
For the year ended December 31, 2017, total share-based compensation relating to stock options and RSUs was $30 million (2016 –
$52 million). Of the total, $30 million (2016 – $48 million) was included in corporate administration and $nil (2016 – $4 million) was
included in restructuring costs (note 11) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

At December 31, 2016 – exercisable 6,061 $ 31.24
(1)
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company has stopped granting options under the stock option plan. Stock options granted during the
year ended December 31, 2016 vest over 3 years, are exercisable at C$20.27 per option, expire in 2023 and had a total fair value of
$15 million at the date of grant.
(2)
The weighted average share price at the date stock options were exercised was C$21.78 (2016 – C$20.74).
The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2016 of $4.89 per option was calculated
as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions and inputs:
2016
Expected life 3.3 years
Expected volatility 45.3%
Expected dividend yield 0.8%
Risk-free interest rate 0.5%
Weighted average share price 15.24
The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical and implied volatility of Goldcorp’s Canadian dollar common share price
on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on yield curves on Canadian government zero-coupon
bonds with a remaining term equal to the stock options’ expected life. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 12.6% for the options
granted during the year ended December 31, 2016.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
The following table summarizes information about the Company’s stock options outstanding at December 31, 2017:
RSUs
Under the RSU Plan, RSUs are granted to employees and directors as a discretionary payment in consideration of past services to
the Company. Each RSU entitles the holder to one common share at the end of the vesting period.
The Company granted 1.6 million RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2017, the majority of which vests over 3 years (2016 –
2.5 million RSU's issued, 0.2 million of which vested immediately with the remaining vesting over 3 years). The grant date fair value
was $16.94 per RSU (2016 – $15.59) with a total fair value of $27 million (2016 – $39 million) based on the market value of the
underlying shares at the date of issuance. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 17.3% for the RSUs granted during the year
ended December 31, 2017 (2016 – 16.7%).
During the year ended December 31, 2017, 1.6 million (2016 – 1.9 million) of common shares were issued from the vesting of RSUs.
At December 31, 2017, there were 2.9 million RSUs outstanding (December 31, 2016 – 3.4 million).
(b) PSUs
Under the amended 2017 PSU plan, PSUs are granted to senior management, where each PSU has a value equal to one Goldcorp
common share. The payout for each performance share unit is determined by a shareholder return metric, measured against a select
peer group of companies during a three-year performance period, and other internal financial performance measures. There is no payout
if performance does not meet a certain threshold. Under the 2016 PSU Plan, the payout was based on a performance multiplier on both
total shareholder return relative to our gold mining peers and an absolute total shareholder return.
The initial fair value of the liability is calculated as of the grant date and is recognized within share-based compensation expense using
the straight-line method over the vesting period. Subsequently,at each reporting date and on settlement, the liability is remeasured with
changes in fair value recognized as share-based compensation expense or recovery over the vesting period.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 0.7 million PSUs (2016 – 0.5 million) with a total fair value of $13
million (2016 – $6 million) at the date of issuance.
At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of PSUs outstanding and included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $1 million and $2 million, respectively (December 31, 2016 –$nil and $1 million, respectively).
At December 31, 2017, the total intrinsic value of PSUs outstanding and vested was $nil (December 31, 2016 – $nil). During the year
ended December 31, 2017, the total intrinsic value of PSUs vested and exercised was nominal (2016 – $3 million). The Company
estimated a forfeiture rate of 8.1% for the PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2017 (2016 – 8.1%).

value of one common share for each PRU held by the participant on the vesting date.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
The Company issued 0.4 million PRUs during the year ended December 31, 2017 (2016 – 0.7 million), which vest over 3 years (2016 –
3 years) and had a fair value of $7 million (2016 – $11 million) based on the market value of the underlying shares at the date of issuance
(weighted average fair value per unit – $16.99 (2016 – $15.56).
Total share-based compensation relating to PRUs for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $3 million (2016 – $8 million), which is
included in corporate administration in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
At December 31, 2017, the total carrying amount of the 0.6 million PRUs outstanding (2016 – 0.8 million) and included in other current
liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $3 million and $2 million, respectively (December 31,
2016 – $5 million and $2 million, respectively).
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded compensation expense of $5 million (2016 – $4 million), which was
included in corporate administration in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, representing the Company’scontributions to the ESPP
measured using the market price of the underlying shares at the dates of contribution.
The Company has an unlimited number of authorized shares and does not reserve shares for issuances in connection with the exercise
of stock options, the vesting of RSU and share purchases from the ESPP.

(1)
Short-term employee benefits include salaries, bonuses payable within twelve months of the balance sheet date and other
annual employee benefits.
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
30. CONTINGENCIES
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’soperations, various legal, tax, environmental and regulatory matters are outstanding from
time to time. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of
contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. While the outcomes of these
matters are uncertain, based upon the information currently available and except as noted in note 30(a), the Company does not believe that these
matters in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations. In the event that
management’s estimate of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of these changes in its
consolidated financial statements in the appropriate period relative to when such changes occur.
(a) Tax Reassessment from Mexican Tax Authority
During 2016, the Company received reassessment notices from the Mexican Tax Authority for two of its Mexican subsidiaries primarily related
to a reduction in the amount of deductible interest paid on related party debt by those subsidiaries during their 2008 and 2009 fiscal years, and
the disallowance of certain intra company fees and expenses. The 2008 fiscal year notices reassess an additional $11 million of income tax,
interest, and penalties. The 2009 fiscal year notices reassess an additional $95 million of income tax, interest and penalties relating to the
reduction in the amount of deductible interest paid to related parties, and the assertion that tax should have been withheld on the interest paid
at a rate of 28% rather than the 10% tax treaty rate relied upon.
In respect of the fiscal 2008 year, the Mexican Tax Authority’s position is that the interest rates charged on the related party debt are not interest
rates that independent parties would have agreed to. In respect of the fiscal 2009 year, the Mexican Tax Authority’s position is that the debts did
not have a valid business purpose and therefore denied the interest deduction and have assessed a higher rate of Mexican withholding taxes on
the interest paid.
The Company’s Mexican subsidiaries incurred debt owing to a related company for the purpose of growing their Mexican business of investing in
mining development and operations directly or indirectly. The Company believes that the terms of the debt and applicable interest rate are
consistent with terms that would apply between unrelated parties and had prepared the required contemporaneous documentation supporting
their arm’s length nature with the assistance of independent transfer pricing specialists.
As a result the Company disputes the positions taken by the Mexican Tax Authority, believes it has filed its tax returns and paid applicable taxes
in compliance with Mexican income tax laws and has substantial defenses to these assessments. No amounts have been recorded for any
potential liability arising from these matters. The intercompany debt remained in place for years subsequent to 2009 and these years remain open
to audit by the Mexican Tax Authority and could be reassessed. The outcome of any potential reassessments for the Company’s Mexican
subsidiaries’ 2010 through 2017 years is not readily determinable but could have a material impact on the Company.
Following the publication on August 24, 2016 of a news article relating to operations at the Company’s Peñasquito mine, several putative class
action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California and one class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On November 21, 2016, a lead
plaintiff (“Plaintiff”) was appointed and all claims were consolidated into one action in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
On December 8, 2016, the Plaintiff filed an Amended Class Action Complaint and on December 22, 2016, the Plaintiff filed a Corrected Amended
Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”). The Amended Complaint alleges that the Company and certain of its current and former
officers made materially false or misleading statements or materially false omissions in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) concerning the Peñasquito mine. The Amended Complaint purports to be brought on
behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’ssecurities during an alleged class period from March 31, 2014 to October
3, 2016. On January 20, 2017, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. On October 12, 2017, the U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California issued an order dismissing the action. No loss was incurred by the Company.
Canadian shareholder class action lawsuit
On October 28, 2016 and February 14, 2017, separate proposed class actions were commenced in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act (Ontario) against the Company and certain of its current and former officers. Both statement of claims
alleged common law negligent misrepresentation in the Company’s public disclosure concerning the Peñasquito mine and also pleaded an
intention to seek leave from the Court to proceed with an allegation of statutory misrepresentation pursuant to the secondary market civil liability
provisions under the Securities Act (Ontario). By a consent order, the latter lawsuit will proceed, and the former action has been
(In millions of United States dollars, except where
noted)
stayed. The active lawsuit purports to be brought on behalf of persons who acquired the Company's securities in the secondary market during
an alleged class period from October 30, 2014 to August 23, 2016. The Company believes the allegations made in the claim are without merit
and intends to vigorously defend against this matter.
In December 2016, the State of Zacatecas in Mexico approved new environmental taxes that became effective January 1, 2017. Certain
operations at the Company’s Peñasquito mine may be subject to these taxes. Payments are due monthly in arrears with the first payment due
on February 17, 2017. The legislation provides little direction for how the taxes are to be calculated and therefore, the Company is not able to
estimate the amount of the taxes with sufficient reliability.
Further, the Company believes that there is no legal basis for the taxes and filed legal claims challenging their constitutionality and legality on
March 9, 2017. Other companies similarly situated also filed legal claims against the taxes and the Mexican federal government has filed a
claim before the National Supreme Court against the State of Zacatecas challenging whether the State of Zacatecas had the constitutional
authority to implement the taxes.
As the Company is not able to estimate the amount of the taxes with sufficient reliability, no amounts have been recorded for any potential
liability.
In October 2014, PVDC received a copy of an action filed in an administrative court in the Dominican Republic by Rafael Guillen Beltre (the
"Petitioner"), who claims to be affiliated with the Dominican Christian Peace Organization. The Government of the Dominican Republic has
also been notified of the action. The action alleges that environmental contamination in the vicinity of the Pueblo Viejo min e has caused
illness and affected water quality in violation of the Petitioner’s fundamental rights under the Dominican Constitution and other laws. The
primary relief sought in the action, which is styled as an "Amparo" remedy, is the suspension of operations at the Pueblo Viejo mine as well as
other mining projects in the area until an investigation into the alleged environmental contamination has been completed by the relevant
governmental authorities. On June 25, 2015, the trial court in the Municipality of Cotui (“Trial Court”) dismissed the legal action as the
Petitioner failed to produce evidence to support his allegations. The Petitioner appealed the Trial Court’s decision to the Constitutional Court
on July 21, 2015. On July 28, 2015, PVDC filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as it was filed after the expiry of the applicable filing deadline.
The matter is pending ruling by the Constitutional Court. No amounts have been recorded for any potential liability or asset impairment
arising from this matter, as PVDC cannot reasonably predict any potential loss

Individual por Finalidades (CCIF), utilizada internacionalmente para los índices de precios al consumidor 2, se presenta a continuación:
2 Manual del Índice de Precios al Consumidor: Teoría y Práctica, pagina 26. OIT, FMI, OCDE, Eurostat, UNECE, Banco Mundial.
El nivel del Índice Nacional de Precios al Consumidor (base segunda quincena de diciembre de 2010=100) se ubicó en la primera quincena
de enero de 2018 en 131.305.
El índice de precios de la canasta básica registró un incremento quincenal de 0.81 por ciento, así como una tasa anual de 6.18 por ciento.
En la misma quincena de 2017 las variaciones fueron de 4.15 y de 7.21 por ciento, respectivamente.
Nota metodológica
Para el cálculo se cotizaron los precios en 46 ciudades, las cuales están ubicadas en las 32 entidades federativas.
Se recaban en promedio 117 mil 500 precios quincenalmente agrupados en 283 conceptos de consumo genéricos, los cuales abarcan
48 ramas de actividadeconómica.
La recolección de precios de los alimentos se realiza por lo menos dos veces durante la quincena que se reporta; para el resto de los
productos se obtienen por lo menos una vez en dicho periodo. Estas cotizaciones dan lugar a índices de precios relativos, los cuales,
ponderados conforme a la fórmula de Laspeyres, generan los índices nacionales correspondientes a los distintos conceptos de consumo
familiar.
La canasta de bienes y servicios considera el total del gasto en consumo de los hogares urbanos y la estructura de ponderación se obtuvo
de los gastos reportados en la Encuesta Nacional de Ingreso y Gasto de los Hogares 2010. Cabe señalar que la base de referencia del cálculo
del INPC es la segunda quincena de diciembre de 2010.
El INEGI lo invita a conocer y hacer uso de las herramientas para el análisis y entendimiento de los índices nacionales de precios,
