Financial Review

First quarter gold sales were 827,500 ounces on production of 724,800 ounces, compared to sales of 684,000 ounces on production of 679,900 ounces in the first quarter of 2014. First quarter gold sales included 115,200 ounces produced at Cerro Negro in 2014.  Silver production totaled 8.5 million ounces compared to 9.6 million ounces in the prior year's first quarter.  All-in sustaining costs were $885 per ounce of gold in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $840 per ounce in the first quarter of 2014.   

Adjusted revenues for the quarter totaled $1.27 billion and the reported net loss for the quarter was $87 million, or ($0.11) per share, compared to net earnings of $98 million, or$0.12 per share, for the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted net earnings for the first quarter totaled$12 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to $209 million, or $0.26 per share, for the first quarter of 2014.  The decrease in adjusted net earnings was a result of lower realized margin5on gold sales, higher depreciation and depletion expense and a higher effective tax rate.  Adjusted net earnings for the first quarter of 2015 exclude the unrealized losses from the foreign exchange translation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the amount of$122 million, or $0.15 per share, unrealized losses on derivatives (net of tax) in the amount of$18 million, or $0.02 per share and the gain on the disposition of Wharf (net of tax) of $49 million, or $0.06 per share.  Adjusted net earnings include the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses which amounted to approximately $15 million, or $0.02 per share, for the quarter.  Adjusted operating cash flow was $366 million, compared to $281 million for last year's first quarter. 

Canada

At Éléonore in Quebec, first quarter gold production totaled 32,500 ounces.  Revenues from the sale of gold and mine operating costs will be recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings effective April 1, 2015, the date commercial production was declared.   Gold production for the first quarter was impacted by a ramp-up issue related to the tailings filter press system.  The process plant was also shut down for 13 days in March to repair ice damage to equipment and ensure compliance with water effluent standards.  Both issues were successfully resolved during the quarter and did not affect mine development activities which continued to progress.  Mining of ore took place from two of the four main production horizons during the quarter, with the ore stockpile on surface increasing to 335,000 tonnes at the end of the first quarter. Scoop and rock breaker tele-remote operations training is now underway and continues to progress.

In addition, work to date has demonstrated that the Éléonore Crown Pillar can be mined earlier than anticipated to further enhance the production profile and return on capital employed.  A pre-feasibility study is underway  Major activities include trade-off studies between pit/underground mining, determining the dike location, permitting and stakeholder engagement efforts.  The completion of the pre-feasibility study is expected by the end of 2015.

At Red Lake in Ontario, gold production for the first quarter was 107,400 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $799 per ounce.   Higher mined grades were offset by lower tonnage from the Campbell Complex where remnant mining is being phased out during 2015.  Exploration efforts remain focused on the HG Young discovery.  Rehabilitation of nearby underground headings in the Campbell Complex has been completed, enabling further mine development and drilling to commence from underground.  Drilling also continued during the first quarter of 2015 on a number of other underground exploration projects at Red Lake including the High Grade Zone.  

At the Cochenour project at Red Lake, the development decline was 82% complete at the end of the first quarter.  Processing of mill feed from the first stopes at Cochenour remains on track for the third quarter of 2015.  Exploration drilling continues to ramp up with twelve drills on site and results to date are consistent with expectations. Drilling commenced in the upper levels during the first quarter with two drills operating and several more platforms ready for new drills.  Drilling is expected to commence in the second quarter in the hanging wall of the deposit to assess the deeper portions of the Cochenour deposit.

At Porcupine in Ontario, gold production for the first quarter was 56,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,175 per ounce.   Production decreased over the prior quarter due to lower grades and lower tonnage, primarily due to cold weather conditions which impacted stockpile and mill operations.  The Hoyle Deep project continued to progress successfully toward expected completion in the first quarter of 2016.  Over-burden and pre-stripping activities continued at the Hollinger project with approximately 1.3 million tonnes on the Environmental Control Berm at the end of the quarter.  Upon expected completion of the berm in the third quarter of 2015, mining operations are expected to commence 24 hours a day.  The closing of the Probe Mines acquisition and its primary asset the Borden Gold project in mid-March is expected to provide a new source of low-cost, high quality gold production for Porcupine, thereby leveraging the important investments already made in people, infrastructure and stakeholder partnerships.

Latin America

At Peñasquito in Mexico, gold production totaled 155,600 ounces for the quarter at an all-in sustaining cost of $702 per ounce.  Strong production compared to the prior quarter was driven by higher sulphide grades as substantial mining took place in the heart of the deposit in Phase 5C and the bottom of Phase 4.  All-in sustaining costs decreased over the prior quarter primarily as a result of increased gold production and lower sustaining capital expenditures.  Production at Peñasquito is expected to accelerate consistent with expected higher grades in the mine plan.

Construction of the Northern Well Field ("NWF") project continued to progress during the quarter.  Negotiations are ongoing to secure surface rights to complete the final connection of the pipeline and further delays in obtaining surface access rights have the potential to delay the overall completion of the pipeline.  The Company continues to pursue an equitable resolution and evaluate mitigation strategies.  Contingency plans remain in place for a fresh water supply to Peñasquito until the NWF is fully operational. 

The Metallurgical Enhancement Project ("MEP") continues to demonstrate the potential to enhance the overall economics and mine life of Peñasquito. Consisting of the Concentrate Enrichment Process and Pyrite Leach projects, the MEP feasibility study is underway as part of larger Peñasquito mine and district optimization efforts, with completion of the study expected in early 2016. 

At the Camino Rojo project located approximately 50 kilometres from Peñasquito, ongoing pre-feasibility study work is focused on the evaluation of Camino Rojo as a supplemental source of transitional and sulphide feed to the existing Peñasquito facility, in addition to a small, stand-alone oxide heap leach facility.  This approach has the potential to generate the highest rate of return given the significantly lower capital costs versus building a separate processing facility at Camino Rojo. The pre-feasibility study is expected to be completed in 2016.

Gold production at Los Filos in the first quarter of 2015 totaled 60,700 ounces.  Higher stripping activity at a new phase of the Los Filos pit and an optimization of leaching operations that include higher cut-off grades to the leach pad resulted in lower ore processed.  All-in sustaining costs for the quarter increased to $1,164 per ounce, due primarily to higher sustaining capital expenditures, higher operating costs and lower gold production.  A new life-of-mine plan to maximize return on investment is advancing and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.  The exploration program continues to focus on in-fill drilling and converting the inferred mineral resources into measured and indicated resources at El Bermejal north and the underground mine.

At Cerro Negro in Argentina, first quarter gold production totaled 92,600 ounces.  Gold sales during the quarter totaled 160,500 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $704 per ounce.  Gold sales during the quarter exceeded production by 67,900 ounces due to 115,200 gold ounces produced in 2014 which were sold in the first quarter of 2015.  Commercial production was declared on January 1, 2015 and permanent power from the national grid was achieved onFebruary 2, 2015.  Mine ramp-up continued during the first quarter as planned at the Eureka and Mariana Central mines.  The first production stope at Mariana Central was successfully mined with a further two stopes in production at the end of the quarter.  Mine production rates are increasing, consistent with the arrival of additional underground mobile equipment and more miners completing training programs.  The planned development sequencing will result in a ramp-up of Cerro Negro's remaining capital expenditures over the balance of 2015.  Average mill throughput for March increased to 3,560 tonnes per day.  Exploration in the first quarter focused on surface resource confirmation drilling. The current drilling program is intended to support future mine expansions at the Marianas Complex and to expand the resource at Bajo Negro and Vein Zone. 

At the Pueblo Viejo joint venture in the Dominican Republic, Goldcorp's share of first quarter gold production totaled 90,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $573 per ounce.  Gold production decreased over the prior quarter due to lower head grades and lower recoveries.  Gold and silver head grades were lower as a result of processing lower grade ore from stockpiles.

2015 Guidance Outlook

The Company today reconfirmed 2015 production guidance of between 3.3 and 3.6 million gold ounces at all-in sustaining costs of between $875 and $950 per gold ounce, driven primarily by new contributions from Cerro Negro and Éléonore. Gold production is expected to increase over the course of 2015 as mining continues into the higher-grade portions of the Peñasco pit at Peñasquito and as both Cerro Negro and Éléonore ramp-up through the year.  Capital spending guidance remains unchanged at between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion for 2015.  Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense ("DDA") is expected to be approximately $390 per gold ounce sold with DDA per ounce higher in the first quarter of 2015 at $444 per ounce but declining over the remainder of the year.  Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange on deferred tax assets and liabilities, the Company now expects an annual effective tax rate of 45% in 2015 on adjusted net earnings, with an expected 39% effective tax rate for each of the second, third and fourth quarters.
