8. 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. In the event that silverproduced at Yauliyacu in any year totals less than 4.75 million ounces, the amount sold to Silver Wheaton in subsequent years will be increased to make up the shortfall.

9. Peñasquito, Campo Morado and La Negra reserves and resources reported represent the share attributable to Silver Wheaton.10. The Mineral Park Reserves do not include the Leach material.11. Silver is produced as a by-product metal at all operations, therefore the economic cut off applied to the reporting of silver reserves and resources will be influenced by changes in the commodity

prices of other metals at the time.12. The Company considers the San Dimas, Yauliyacu and Peñasquito operations to be Material Assets, and has technical reports filed and available on www.sedar.com on each of these assets.13. Los Filos reserves and resources are reported without the Bermejal deposit, as Bermejal is not subject to the silver sales agreement.

GFMS Silver Price Outlook - Conclusion

Silver’s supply/demand fundamentals (excluding investment) turning Silver s supply/demand fundamentals (excluding investment) turning negative in 2009 due mainly to lower fabrication demand, though supply side less threatening than formerly expected

Silver market will therefore move back into surplus but this metal will be absorbed by investors

Silver prices will be volatile but tend to increase from current levels Silver prices will be volatile but tend to increase from current levels

GFMS under its base case scenario currently forecast a calendar 2009 average silver price of around $13/ozg p $
