NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED
STATES


Gold Wheaton Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GLW) (the "Company") announces that in
connection with its previously announced public offering on February 18, 2009 it
has entered into an underwriting agreement with a syndicate of underwriters,
co-led by Paradigm Capital Inc., Canaccord Capital Corporation, and GMP
Securities L.P. and including BMO Capital Markets, and Scotia Capital Inc. to
sell 400,000,000 units ("Units") at a price of C$0.25 per Unit to raise gross
proceeds of C$100 million pursuant to a short form prospectus. Each Unit will
consist of one common share and one half share purchase warrant, with each whole
warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share at an
exercise price of C$0.50 per share for a period of 2 years following the closing
of the offering. In addition the Company has granted the underwriters an
over-allotment option to purchase up to that number of additional Units equal to
15% of the Units sold pursuant to the offering, exercisable at any time up to 30
days from the closing of the offering.


The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to pay the balance
of the purchase consideration payable by the Company in connection with the
First Uranium Corp. gold stream purchase transaction and the balance for general
working capital purposes.


"This financing will allow us to complete the second phase of the First Uranium
transaction and continue to grow the Company's portfolio of current gold
production. The increased production is from a very low risk operation and
brings immediate significant additional cash flow. We continue to look at
additional accretive acquisitions to further grow the Company," said David
Cohen, Chairman and CEO of Gold Wheaton.


The offering is scheduled to close on or about March 5, 2009 and is subject to
certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary
approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the securities
regulatory authorities.


This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of
an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities have
not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may
not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit
of, U.S. persons (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended) absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements.
