Adjusted net earnings of USD 70 million, or USD 0.09 per share.
Adjusted operating cash flow of USD 399 million.

Ramp-up at Cerro Negro in Argentina and Eleonore in Quebec progressing on schedule.
"The continued ramp-up of new mines Cerro Negro and Eleonore, coupled with stable performance at our existing mines position us for a strong finish to 2014," said Chuck Jeannes , Goldcorp President and Chief Executive Officer. "We expect to meet our 2014 production guidance, but the lower-than-expected production at El Sauzal due to pit wall instability and the second-quarter stoppage at Los Filos will cause gold production to be at the low end of our previously guided range of between 2.95 million and 3.1 million ounces. With respect to cost guidance, the success of our Operating for Excellence programs has exceeded our expectations, with over USD 185 million of additional savings already realized through the first nine months of 2014 versus our previous target of USD 100 million for the year. This performance is expected to help drive all-in sustaining costs toward the low end of our guided range of between USD 950 and USD 1,000 per ounce for the year. With new project capital spending beginning to wind down, Goldcorp remains well-positioned for sustained growth in free cash flow in 2015 and beyond."
