a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWC, has completed a gold purchase
transaction with First Uranium Corporation (TSX: FIU)(JSE: FUM)
("First Uranium") and its subsidiary Ezulwini Mining Company
(Proprietary) Limited ("EMC") previously announced on November 5,
2009. Gold Wheaton has purchased seven percent of the life of mine
gold production with a minimum delivery of 16,500 and 19,500 ounces
of gold for 2010 and 2011 respectively from EMC's Ezulwini Mine

South Africa.
Gold Wheaton has paid First Uranium US$50 million and will make
an ongoing payment equal to the lesser of US$400 per delivered
ounce and the prevailing spot price of gold, subject to an annual
inflation adjustment of one percent, starting on the fourth
anniversary of closing. Gold Wheaton will not be required to
contribute to any capital or exploration expenditures in respect of
the Ezulwini Mine.
"We are very pleased to have closed this second transaction with
First Uranium and look forward to receiving growing gold deliveries
from this project as well as their Mine Waste Solutions project,"
commented David Cohen, Chairman and CEO of GWC. "GWC remains well
funded to consider opportunities to develop our gold stream
portfolio."
