</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">To the Participants and Administrator of the<BR>
Placer Dome America 401(k) Savings Plan

</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Placer Dome
America 401(k) Savings Plan as of December&nbsp;31, 2005, and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements as of and for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 were audited by other auditors whose report dated June&nbsp;6, 2005, expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Our
audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designed
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan&#146;s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December&nbsp;31, 2005 and the changes in
net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of
December&nbsp;31, 2005 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor&#146;s
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the financial statements taken as a whole.
