Recent complaints about violence, lack of consultation with indigenous people, and environmental impact prompted the International Finance Corporation, the World Bank division that loans money to private companies, to investigate the Marlin mine in Guatemala [project of Glamis Gold, part of Goldcorp] through its independent Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman office. The CAO report, released on September 8, says that documents submitted to the leaders of indigenous communities near the mine “did not at the time have sufficient information to allow for an informed view of the likely adverse impacts of the project,” casting doubt on the appropriateness of the consultation with the community of Sipacapa in particular.
