Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The Company has previously implemented a Dividend Reinvestment
Plan ("DRIP"). Participation in the DRIP is optional. For the
purposes of this quarterly dividend, the Company has elected to
issue common shares under the DRIP through treasury at the Average
Market Price, as defined in the DRIP, without a discount.
The Company may, from time to time, in its discretion, apply,
change or eliminate any discount applicable to Treasury
Acquisitions, as defined in the DRIP, or direct that such common
shares be purchased in Market Acquisitions, as defined in the DRIP,
at the prevailing market price, any of which would be publicly
announced.
The DRIP and enrollment forms, including direct deposit, are
available for download on the Company's website at
www.wheatonpm.com, in the 'investors' section under the 'dividends'
tab.
Registered shareholders may also enroll in the DRIP online
through the plan agent's self-service web portal at:

Beneficial shareholders should contact their financial
intermediary to arrange enrollment. All shareholders considering
enrollment in the DRIP should carefully review the terms of the
DRIP and consult with their advisors as to the implications of
enrollment in the DRIP.
This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of
an offer of securities. A registration statement relating to the
DRIP has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and may be obtained under the Company's profile on the
