SILVER WHEATON TO ACQUIRE 25% OF LIFE OF MINE SILVER PRODUCTION FROM PEÑASQUITO PROJECT

Vancouver, British Columbia: April 16, 2007 – Silver Wheaton Corp. (“Silver Wheaton”) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to acquire from Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) 25% of the life of mine silver production from Goldcorp’s Peñasquito Project, located in Zacatecas, Mexico.  With this acquisition, Silver Wheaton expects to have annual silver sales of 22 million ounces in 2009, increasing to over 26 million ounces by 2012.  

Based on a feasibility study completed in July 2006, the Peñasquito Project has reserves representing 17 years of gold, silver, zinc and lead production, with peak annual silver delivery to Silver Wheaton of 8.5 million ounces. The project remains on schedule for initial production from heap leaching of oxide ore by late 2008 and full operation of the mill and flotation circuit by late 2009.  

As a result of this transaction, Silver Wheaton’s attributable proven and probable silver reserves will increase by 144 million ounces to 278 million ounces (an increase of 107%), attributable measured and indicated silver resources will increase by 62 million ounces to 121 million ounces (an increase of 104%) and attributable inferred silver resources will increase by 221 million ounces to 514 million ounces (an increase of 75%).  See reserve and resource tables at the end of this news release.

Goldcorp is continuing exploration drilling on the Peñasquito Project. Since the July 2006 feasibility study, Goldcorp has drilled 114 additional core holes totalling over 80,000 meters in length, and reports that results of this latest activity have identified significant intersections that continue to support the potential for resource expansion in 2007.

Silver Wheaton will pay US$485 million in cash for the right to acquire 25% of the Peñasquito silver production. In addition, Silver Wheaton will pay an ongoing per-ounce operating cost payment equal to the lesser of US$3.90 (subject to annual inflationary adjustments) and the prevailing market price per ounce of silver delivered under the contract.

Silver Wheaton will not be required to fund any capital expenditures at Peñasquito, including any expansion scenarios. Goldcorp will provide a completion guarantee to Silver Wheaton that the Peñasquito Mine will be constructed with certain minimum production criteria by certain dates. As a result of this transaction, Silver Wheaton will retain a right of first refusal on any further sales of silver streams from Peñasquito for the mine life for so long as Goldcorp maintains at least a 20% interest in Silver Wheaton. Goldcorp’s right to maintain its pro-rata interest in Silver Wheaton has been extended to December 31, 2009.  Goldcorp currently owns approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Silver Wheaton.

In order to fund the US$485 million cash consideration, Silver Wheaton has arranged US$485 million in bank debt through the Scotia Capital Inc. and BMO Capital Markets. Silver Wheaton will not issue any shares in connection with the transaction.

“This acquisition is company transforming, providing Silver Wheaton with a significant silver stream at a low, fixed, cost for many years.  In addition, we have the benefit of the exploration and production upside, if production levels or mine life exceed those envisioned in the July, 2006 feasibility study,” said Peter Barnes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Silver Wheaton.  “This transaction is significantly accretive, increasing the long-term cash flow per share by approximately 20%.  In financing the acquisition with no equity dilution, we have maximized long-term value for our shareholders.”

Scotia Capital Inc. acted as financial advisor to Silver Wheaton with respect to the transaction.

Silver Wheaton appointed a special committee of non-executive directors not related to Goldcorp to consider and make a recommendation on the transaction and the special committee has unanimously recommended the approval of the transaction.  The Board of Directors of Silver Wheaton, on the recommendation of the special committee, has also approved the transaction.

TD Securities Inc. acted as financial advisor and provided a fairness opinion in respect of the transaction to the special committee of the Board of Directors of Silver Wheaton.

Closing of the transaction is subject to execution of definitive agreements containing customary representations, warranties and covenants by both parties, as well as receipt of all required regulatory approvals and third party consents, including acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange.  The transaction is expected to close by May 31, 2007.

Notes:

1.

All Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources have been calculated as of December 31, 2006 in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and National Instrument 43-101.

2.

All Mineral Resources are exclusive of Mineral Reserves.

3.

Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

4.

The Qualified Person for the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates as defined by National Instrument 43-101 are as follows:

a.

San Dimas, San Martin – Reynaldo Rivera, MAusIMM, an employee of Luismin, S.A. de C.V., the Mexican operating subsidiary of Goldcorp Inc.

b.

Los Filos – Reynaldo Rivera, MAusIMM, Luismin S.A. de C.V.

c.

Zinkgruvan – Lars Malmström, Chief Geologist, and Per Hedström, Senior Geologist, both employees of Zinkgruvan.

d.

Yauliyacu – Randy Smallwood, P.Eng., Executive Vice President of Silver Wheaton Corp.

e.

Peñasquito - as per Glamis June 21, 2006 press release

5.

Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are estimated using appropriate recovery rates and commodity prices as follows:

a.

San Dimas and San Martin Reserves – US$7.00 per silver ounce

b.

San Dimas and San Martin Resources – US$7.00 per silver ounce

c.

Zinkgruvan Reserves and Resources – US$5.75 per silver ounce

d.

Yauliyacu Reserves and Resources – US$10.00 per silver ounce

6.

Silver Wheaton’s purchase agreement with Glencore provides for the delivery of up to 4.75 million ounces of silver per year for 20 years so long as production allows.  Silver production at Yauliyacu in excess of 4.75 million ounces per year is to the credit of Glencore, and therefore a portion of the reserves and resources from Yauliyacu may relate to production which may be for the credit of Glencore.

7.

Peñasquito reserves and resources reported represent the 25% share attributable to Silver Wheaton
