Glamis Joins Goldcorp in Defense of Application; Provides Update on Progress Toward Transaction Closing

Glamis Gold Ltd. ("Glamis") (TSX: GLG)(NYSE: GLG) announced today that it has been granted intervenor status in the application of Robert R. McEwen in which Goldcorp is the respondent. The application seeks, among other things, to have the Ontario Superior Court of Justice order Goldcorp to call a meeting of Goldcorp shareholders to approve the transaction between Goldcorp and Glamis. Goldcorp has previously stated that it believes that there is no basis for the application and that the application is misconceived and without legal merit. Due to the application's potential effect on the completion of the transaction, Glamis sought intervenor status in order to represent its interests and those of its shareholders in the transaction with Goldcorp.

Supplement to Circular Mailed

Glamis also announced that it has filed on SEDAR and commenced the mailing of a supplement to its Notice and Information Circular dated September 25, 2006. The supplement includes an update on Glamis' actions related to the McEwen application as well as details of Goldcorp's pending update of mineral reserve and resource estimates for its Campbell mine. Due to an increase in the cut-off grade to be used in a new Red Lakes Mines technical report that will be filed by November 17, 2006, Goldcorp expects that there will be a reduction in the reported mineral resources for the Campbell mine as of December 31, 2005 from those previously disclosed by Placer Dome Inc. Goldcorp does not expect any such reduction to have a material adverse effect on Goldcorp and no decrease in mineral reserves is expected.

The Glamis shareholders' meeting will be held on October 26, 2006 at 9:30 a.m. (PDT) at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel, 900 Canada Place Way, Vancouver, British Columbia. In a related development, the waiting period with respect to the proposed transaction required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 of the United States has terminated, satisfying a closing condition of the transaction. The review process by the Federal Competition Commission in Mexico is currently under way and Glamis expects to be able to provide an update on the status of the filing and the timetable for closing of the Arrangement by the end of October, 2006.
