Gold Wheaton Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: GLW) ("GWC") is pleased to announce that Gold Wheaton (Barbados) Corporation ("Gold Wheaton"), 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 (the "Transaction") located approximately 40 kilometres from Johannesburg, in the Western portion of the Witwatersrand basin, 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."
