La mina Marlin de Goldcorp cesó su producción el 31 de mayo de 2017, marcando el final de más de una década de fuertes lazos comunitarios y prácticas de minería sustentables. Ubicada en el altiplano occidental de Guatemala, en el municipio de San Miguel Ixtahuacan, a aproximadamente 300 kilómetros al noroeste de la Ciudad de Guatemala, Marlin empezó su producción a fines de 2005 y pasó a formar parte del portafolio de Goldcorp con la adquisición de Glamis Gold en 2006.
