Dividend Reinvestment
Plan
The Company has previously

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: https://tsxtrust.com/DRIP
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.

to sell or a solicitation of an offer of securities. A registration
statement relating to the DRIP has been filed with the U.S.
