“Goldcorp’s excellent second quarter results underscore the growing strength and quality of our mine portfolio,” said Chuck Jeannes, Goldcorp President and Chief Executive Officer. “Higher gold grades at Peñasquito and a continued strong ramp-up at Cerro Negro drove record quarterly gold production and more than offset the slower-than-planned ramp-up at Éléonore. In addition, a continued focus on cost efficiency and productivity enhancements along with favorable currency effects continued to push costs lower…”

Bruce Bragagnolo, CEO of the Company, stated “We reached a record stacking rate for the quarter of 24,754 tonnes per day. The increase in throughput has helped to offset the decrease in grade from the prior year. Gold recoveries are projected to be faster in Q3 2015 as we move from the top of the current pads to new pads. Construction of new leach pads is complete and the Company is now stacking ore on the new pads. This will result in faster recoveries in H2.
