Honduras: Fears of "serious pollution" at mine

CAFOD in the UK and Development & Peace in Canada are calling on…Goldcorp to ensure their San Martin mine in Honduras does not leave a toxic legacy when it closes at the end of 2009. The San Martin mine is…run by Entre Mares, a Honduran subsidiary wholly owned by…Goldcorp Inc…The company has consistently disputed test results confirming the presence of arsenic and cyanide in water sources flowing from within the mine boundaries…[L]arge numbers of the local population, including children, have been suffering skin conditions. Local people believe this is a result of pollution caused by the mine. Goldcorp denies this has any connection with their operation.
