CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING RESERVES AND RESOURCESFor further information on Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and on Silver Wheaton more generally, readers should refer to Silver Wheaton’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2011, and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Silver Wheaton since January 1, 2012, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Silver Wheaton’s Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources: The information contained herein uses the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and “Inferred” Mineral Resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them and expressly prohibits U.S. registered companies from including such terms in their filings with the SEC. “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves or that any exploration potential will ever be converted to any category of Mineral Reserves or Mineral Resources. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. United States investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in Silver Wheaton’s Form 40-F, a copy of which may be obtained from Silver Wheaton or from http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

Our vision
To be the world’s premier silver focused streaming company.
To provide shareholders with high quality, long-term exposure to precious metals.
To offer mine owners an attractive alternative to debt or equity.
Silver Wheaton makes an upfront payment in return for the right to purchase a fixed percentage of the future silver production from a mine
As the mine owner delivers silver to Silver Wheaton, an additional delivery payment* is made to them
3
WHAT IS SILVER STREAMING?
Partner Mining Company
Upfront payment (Cash and/or SLW shares)
SLW receives a % of life-of-mine silver production* Delivery payments are approximately US$4/oz with an inflationary adjustment of approximately 1% per annum after the third year of production
Delivery payment ($ per ounce of silver)
A WIN-WIN MODEL WHY IT WORKS
4
Silver stream agreements create shareholder value for both the purchaser (Silver Wheaton) and the seller (mine owner)
Silver produced at base metal and gold mines is given a lower valuation by the market than if it had been produced by a silver company• Results in ‘value arbitrage’ opportunity

4. The Mineral Resources reported in the above tables are exclusive of Mineral Reserves. The Minto, Campo Morado, Neves-Corvo, Zinkgruvan and Aljustrel mines report Mineral Resourcesinclusive of Mineral Reserves. The Company’s QPs have made the exclusive Mineral Resource estimates for these mines based on average mine recoveries and dilution.
5. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.6. Other than as detailed below, Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are reported as of December 31, 2011 based on information available to the Company as of the date of this document,
and therefore will not reflect updates, if any, after such date. The most current Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are available on the Company’s website.a. Resources and Reserves for Yauliyacu, Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan are reported as of June 30, 2011.b. Resources for Rosemont are reported as of October 22, 2008 and Reserves as of March 17, 2009.c.

Zinkgruvan – 3.1% Zn equivalent cut-off for the zinc Resource and 1.5% Cu cut-off for the copper Resource.h. Mineral Park – $7.50 per ounce.i. Aljustrel – 1.5% Cu cut-off for all copper Resources, 4.5% Zn cut-off for Feitais and Moinho zinc Resources and 4.0% for Estação zinc Resources.j. Campo Morado – $30.00 per ounce for the G-9 zones and 5% Zn cut-off for the El Rey, Naranjo and Reforma deposits.k. Loma de La Plata – $12.50 per ounce.l. Minto – 0.5% Cu cut-off.m. Keno Hill – $15.25 per ounce for the Southwest and 99 Zones, $14.50 per ounce for the East Zone, $17.00 per ounce for the Elsa Tailings and $18.50 per ounce for the Lucky Queen
and Onek deposits.10. The San Dimas silver purchase agreement provides that from August 6, 2010 until August 5, 2014, Primero Mining Corp. (“Primero”) will deliver to the Company a per annum amount equal to
the first 3.5 million ounces of payable silver produced at San Dimas and 50% of any excess, plus the Company will receive an additional 1.5 million ounces of silver per annum to be delivered by Goldcorp. Beginning August 6, 2014, Primero will deliver to the Company a per annum amount equal to the first 6.0 million ounces of payable silver produced at San Dimas and 50% of any excess, for the life of the mine.
11. The Company’s attributable tonnage at Pierina was estimated by assuming 2011 production level for the remaining two years. The Company’s attributable tonnage at Lagunas Norte and Veladero was estimated by assuming 2012 and 2013 processed tonnes based on Barrick’s life of mine (“LOM”) plans. Tonnes for all three operations were pro-rated between Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves according to the ratio of Barrick’s December 31, 2011 Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. Average reserve grades were applied to the Pierina estimates and the average LOM plan grades were applied to Lagunas Norte and Veladero. LOM plans and December 31, 2011 Mineral Reserves estimates are as published by Barrick.
12. The Company’s Yauliyacu silver purchase agreement (March 2006) with Glencore International AG provides for the delivery of up to 4.75 million ounces of silver per year for 20 years. In the event that silver sold and delivered to Silver Wheaton in any year totals less than 4.75 million ounces, the amount sold and delivered to Silver Wheaton in subsequent years will be increased to make up for any cumulative shortfall, to the extent production permits. Depending upon production levels it is possible that the Company’s current attributable tonnage may not be mined before the agreement expires.The 777 purchase agreement provides that Hudbay Minerals Inc. will deliver 100% of the payable silver for the life of the mine and 100% of the payable gold until completion of the Constancia project, after which the gold stream will reduce to 50%. The gold figures in this table represent 100% of 777 Resources and Reserves.
13. In reliance upon Section 9.2 of NI 43-101, all technical information in this document regarding 777 was sourced by the Company from the Annual Information Form of Hubday Minerals Inc. filed by Hudbay on March 13, 2012 on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Company QP’s have approved the disclosure in this document in reliance on such Annual Information Form.
14. The Mineral Park and Rosemont Resources and Reserves do not include the SX/EW leach material since this process does not recover silver.15. The Company’s attributable tonnage at Cozamin was estimated by assuming Capstone Mining Corp’s (“Capstone”) 2012 production guidance of 1.1 million tonnes until the end of the
Company’s Cozamin silver purchase agreement with Capstone. Tonnes were pro-rated between Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves according to the ratio of Capstone’s December 31, 2011 published Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, applying average reserve grades.
16. The Company has filed a technical report for Yauliyacu, Peñasquito, San Dimas and Pascua-Lama, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Please see footnote 13 for further information regarding 777.
17. Silver is produced as a by-product metal at all operations with the exception of the Keno Hill mine and Loma de La Plata project; therefore, the economic cut-off applied to the reporting of silver Resources and Reserves will be influenced by changes in the commodity prices of other metals at the time.
Silver is a unique precious metal• Silver price has high correlation with gold price• Produced primarily as a by-product• Significant industrial applications
Silver is a store of value• Physical silver demand has risen significantly in the past several years
reflecting strong investor interest• ETF inventories remain at historically high levels

NON-IFRS MEASURES
75
Silver Wheaton has included, throughout this presentation, certain non-IFRS performance measures, including (i) average cash costs of silver and gold on a per ounce basis; (ii) operating cash flows per share (basic and diluted) and; (iii) cash operating margin.
i. Average cash cost of silver and gold on a per ounce basis is calculated by dividing the cost of sales by the ounces sold. In the precious metals mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow.
ii. Cash operating margin is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost of silver and gold on a per ounce basis from the average realized selling price of silver and gold on a per ounce basis. The Company presents cash operating margin as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other companies in the preciousmetals mining industry who present results on a similar basis.
iii. Operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted) is calculated by dividing cash generated by operating activities by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (basic and diluted). The Company presents operating cash flow per share as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other companies in the preciousmetals mining industry who present results on a similar basis.
These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. For more detailed information, please refer to pages 19 to 21 of Silver Wheaton’s Q2 2012 Management Discussion and Analysis available on the Company’s websiteat www.silverwheaton.com and posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
