EXPLANATORY NOTE

Goldcorp Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Exchange Act. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report on Form 40-F and the exhibits attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Exchange Act, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”) or in releases made by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), all as may be amended from time to time, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of the Company. The following cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the PSLRA with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: statements relating to Newmont Mining Corporation’s (“Newmont”) planned acquisition of all of our issued and outstanding common shares (the “Proposed Transaction”) and the expected terms, timing and closing of the Proposed Transaction, including receipt of required approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, statements with respect to the future price of gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, targeted cost reductions, capital expenditures, free cash flow, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting and certification time lines, hedging practices, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, health, safety and diversity initiatives, timing and possible outcome of pending litigation, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, or variations or comparable language of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will”, “occur” or “be achieved” or the negative connotation thereof.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including the price of gold, anticipated costs and ability to achieve goals. Certain important factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, gold price volatility, discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and mineral resources and metallurgical recoveries, mining operational and development risks, litigation risks, regulatory restrictions (including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability), changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or change in the administration of laws, policies and practices, expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, the Dominican Republic or other jurisdictions in which the Company does, or may carry on business in the future, delays, suspensions or technical challenges associated with capital projects, higher prices for fuel, steel, power, labor and other consumables, currency fluctuations, the speculative nature of gold exploration, the global economic climate, dilution, share price volatility, competition, loss of key employees, additional funding requirements and defective title to mineral claims or property, the prompt and effective integration of Newmont’s and the Company’s businesses and the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated by the Proposed Transaction. Although the Company believes its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions and has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

 

-2-


Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: future prices of gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead; mine development and operating risks; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; risks related to international operations, including economic and political instability in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates; risks related to current global financial conditions; risks related to joint venture operations; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of current reclamation activities; environmental risks; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry; risks associated with restructuring and cost-efficiency initiatives; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; risks related to the integration of acquisitions; risks related to indebtedness and the service of such indebtedness, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Description of Business – Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “AIF”) attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein. In addition, risks associated with the Proposed Transaction that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include: (i) the risk associated with Newmont’s and the Company’s ability to obtain the approval of the Proposed Transaction from its respective shareholders required to consummate the Proposed Transaction and the timing of the closing of the Proposed Transaction, including the risk that the conditions to the Proposed Transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all and the failure of the transaction to close for any other reason; (ii) the risk that a consent or authorization that may be required for the Proposed Transaction is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; (iii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the arrangement agreement or Proposed Transaction; (iv) unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the Proposed Transaction, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the Proposed Transaction; (v) risks relating to the value of the Newmont’s common stock to be issued in connection with the Proposed Transaction; (vi) the anticipated size of the markets and continued demand for Newmont’s and the Company’s resources and the impact of competitive responses to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction; and (vii) the diversion of management time on issues related to the Proposed Transaction.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this annual report on Form 40-F are made as of the date of this annual report on Form 40-F and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. Except as otherwise indicated by the Company, these statements do not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other special items or of any disposition, monetization, merger, acquisition, other business combination or other transaction that may be announced or that may occur after the date hereof. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of the Company’s operating environment. The Company does not intend or undertake to publicly update any forward-looking statements that are included in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS - DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES

AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

The Company is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this annual report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Company prepares its financial statements, which are filed with this annual report on Form 40-F, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), including the report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm with respect thereto, which are attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this annual report on Form 40-F (the “Audited Financial Statements”) and incorporated by reference herein.

CURRENCY

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this annual report on Form 40-F are in United States dollars and Canadian dollars are referred to as “Canadian dollars” or “C$”. The exchange rate of United States dollars into Canadian dollars, on December 31, 2018 based upon the daily average exchange rate as published by the Bank of Canada, was U.S.$1.00 = C$1.3642. The exchange rate of United States dollars into Canadian dollars, on March 27, 2019 based upon the daily average exchange rate as published by the Bank of Canada, was U.S.$1.00 = C$1.3414.

RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

The Company’s AIF attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws currently in effect and uses terms that are not recognized by the SEC.

Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The definitions used in NI 43-101 are incorporated by reference from the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) – Definition Standards adopted by CIM Council on May 10, 2014 (the “CIM Definition Standards”). U.S. reporting requirements are currently governed by the SEC Industry Guide 7 (“Industry Guide 7”) under the Securities Act. 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 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 a “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. Reserve estimates contained in the AIF may not qualify as “reserves” under Industry Guide 7. Further, the SEC has not recognized the reporting of mineral deposits which do not meet the Industry Guide 7 definition of “reserve” prior to the adoption of the Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants, which rules will be required to be complied with in the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021.

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. 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. 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 annual report on Form 40-F and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of the Company’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.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2018. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 40-F, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL

CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management’s Responsibility, Evaluation and Report

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, 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, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been 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 management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

With the participation of the CEO and CFO, management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, following the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded in its report that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting (the “Report”) is included with the Audited Financial Statements which are attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and is required to describe its practices and policies with regard to corporate governance, with specific reference to National Instrument 58-101Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, on an annual basis by way of certain disclosures contained in the Company’s management information circular. The Company is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and additionally complies with the applicable rules and guidelines of the NYSE as well as the SEC, including those applicable rules and regulations resulting from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a result, the Company believes that there are no significant differences between its corporate governance practices and those required to be followed by United States domestic issuers under the applicable rules and guidelines of the NYSE.

The members of each committee of the Board are identified under the heading “Directors and Officers” beginning on page 102 of the AIF attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein.

The Company reviews its governance practices and monitors developments in Canada and the United States on an ongoing basis to ensure it is in compliance with applicable rules and standards. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

The charters for each of the Company’s standing committees are available for review on the Company’s website at www.goldcorp.com and in print without charge to any shareholder that provides the Company with a written request addressed to the Company’s Corporate Secretary.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Board has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The members of the Company’s Audit Committee are identified under the heading “Audit Committee” on page 113 of the AIF which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein. In the opinion of the Board, all members of the Audit Committee are financially literate and independent, as such terms are defined by the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards applicable to the Company and as determined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

CODE OF CONDUCT

In addition, the Board, through its meetings with management and other informal discussions with management, encourages a culture of ethical business conduct. The Board believes the Company’s management team promotes a culture of ethical business conduct throughout the Company’s operations, and expects the Company’s management team to monitor the activities of the Company’s employees, consultants and agents in that regard. The Board encourages any concerns regarding ethical conduct in respect of the Company’s operations to be raised with the Company’s Chairperson of the Audit Committee; Regional Vice Presidents; local management teams; Director, Ethics and Compliance; Internal Audit Head; Vice President, Regulatory Compliance; or General Counsel, as appropriate.
