Exhibit 4.11

Offer to exchange

an aggregate principal amount of up to US$300,000,000 of 6.45% debentures

due 2035 of Placer Dome Inc., which were originally issued October 10, 2003,

for

an aggregate principal amount of up to US$300,000,000 of 6.45% exchange debentures due 2035

of Placer Dome Inc., which have been registered under the United

States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a prospectus dated March •, 2004

To:    Registered holders of original debentures

Enclosed are copies of the documents listed below relating to the offer (the
“exchange offer”) by Placer Dome Inc. (“Placer Dome”) to exchange an aggregate
principal amount of up to US$300,000,000 of 6.45% debentures due 2035 of Placer
Dome (the “exchange debentures”), which have been registered under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a
registration statement of which the Prospectus referred to below is a part, for
an aggregate principal amount of up to US$300,000,000 of 6.45% debentures due
2035 of Placer Dome (the “original debentures”), which were originally issued
on October 10, 2003, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the
Prospectus and in the Letter of Transmittal referred to below:

	1.	 	Prospectus of Placer Dome dated March •, 2004.
	 
	2.	 	Letter of Transmittal.
	 
	3.	 	Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
	 
	4.	 	Instruction to Registered Holder from Beneficial Owner.
	 
	5.	 	Letter which you may send to your clients for whose account you hold
original debentures in your name or in the name of your nominee, to
accompany the instruction form referred to above, for obtaining such
client’s instructions with respect to the exchange offer.

We urge you to contact your clients promptly. Please note that the exchange
offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on •, 2004, unless extended
by Placer Dome, in its sole discretion.

Pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal, each holder of original debentures will
represent to Placer Dome that: (a) any exchange debentures received will be
acquired in the ordinary course of business; (b) it has no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the
original debentures or the exchange debentures within the meaning of the

other trading activities; (b) it will deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such
exchange debentures; and (c) it did not purchase the original debentures
tendered hereby directly from Placer Dome for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or
any other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. By
acknowledging that it will deliver, and by delivering, a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with
