Gold Wheaton Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter 2009

  Gold Wheaton Gold Corp. ("Gold Wheaton") (TSX VENTURE: GLW) is pleased to announce the financial results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 (unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars).

2009 Third Quarter Highlights

--  Revenue from the sale of precious metals for the three months ended
    September 30, 2009 ("Q3 2009") was $6.8 million; $2.2 million lower as
    compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008 ("Q3 2008"),
    primarily as a result of lower deliveries from FNX Mining Company Ltd.
    ("FNX") due to the Vale Inco strike impact.
--  Operating cash flow of $5.8 million; $6.5 million higher than Q3 2008,
    as a result of the timing of payments associated with deliveries in Q3
    2008 and the additional First Uranium Corporation ("First Uranium")
    production.
--  6,535 gold equivalent ounces were sold to the Company in Q3 2009,. FNX
    sold approximately 937 gold equivalent ounces to Gold Wheaton after the
    settlement of prior period sales compared to 10,804 gold equivalent
    ounces in Q3-2008. First Uranium sold approximately 5,598 ounces to Gold
    Wheaton. There were no sales from First Uranium in Q3-2008 as the
    contract was entered into in December 2008.
--  Net loss for Q3 2009 was $3.1 million (loss of $0.00 per share) compared
    to a net loss of $2.3 million (loss of $0.00 per share) for Q3 2008
    Higher loss in Q3 2009 compared to Q3 2008 was mainly due to delayed and
    lower deliveries from FNX as a result of Vale Inco's strike; higher
    foreign exchange losses due to a strengthening of the Canadian dollar;
    and partially offset by sale of gold deliveries from First Uranium in Q3
    2009 and higher gold, platinum and palladium prices compared to Q3 2008.
--  At September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and short term investments
    of $86.6 million and working capital of $45.1 million compared to $7.4
    million and $14.5 million, respectively, on December 31, 2008. Working
    capital at September 30, 2009 includes accounts receivable of $9.3
    million from the sale of precious metals arising from timing of
    settlements from offtake agreements. Accounts payable includes $3.5
    million related to the cash per ounce cost of the precious metals
    purchased.
--  Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company signed a definitive
    agreement with Ezulwini Mining Company (Proprietary) Limited, a
    subsidiary of First Uranium. Gold Wheaton will purchase 7% of the life
    of mine gold production from First Uranium's Ezulwini Mine in South
    Africa, with minimum gold purchases of 16,500 and 19,500 ounces for 2010
    and 2011 respectively. Total upfront payment will be $50 million. In
    addition, Gold Wheaton will pay the lesser of $400 per ounce of payable
    gold delivered and sold to Gold Wheaton, subject to adjustment, and the
    then prevailing market price. Closing of the transaction is expected to
    be late November 2009, subject to receipt of all required governmental,
    regulatory and stock exchange approvals and third-party consents.

"The Vale Inco strike impact on FNX deliveries to Gold Wheaton has had the previously indicated impact on this quarter's performance. However, we expect to make up the lower deliveries in Q3 2009 from FNX in the fourth quarter from ore stock piled in Q3 that has been shipped to Xstrata for processing in the fourth quarter. In addition, FNX has announced that deliveries to Vale Inco were resumed in late September, normalizing the operating situation. At First Uranium's Mine Waste Solutions Tailings Recovery project, ramp up following the commissioning of Phase 1b continues. With this increase in delivered ounces and the higher precious metals prices, we expect to have a strong fourth quarter," said David Cohen, Chairman and CEO.
