CAFOD’s Rejoinder to Goldcorp’s Response to CAFOD Press Release: “CAFOD and Development and Peace Canada Discover Evidence of Severe Water Contamination at Goldcorp Mine,” 2 December 2009
CAFOD rejects Goldcorp’s claims that CAFOD’s allegations are “patent falsehoods and distortions”. CAFOD says: “Our press release was published following a thorough investigation of the San Martin Mine Closure Plan and its implementation by distinguished experts in this field. CAFOD, Development and Peace and our Honduran partner Caritas Tegucigalpa have attempted to raise concerns about acid mine drainage at the San Martin mine with Goldcorp on numerous occasions…for several years. We remain fully committed to a constructive dialogue with the company. However, this should not replace being open about the findings of our research or sharing this information publicly…The fact that Goldcorp had introduced remediation measures in the first place is tacit acknowledgement and recognition of a pre-existing problem of acid mine drainage at the San Martin mine…CAFOD’s press release did not dispute the fact that the mine closure plan was approved by SERNA [Honduran Ministry of Environment]…”
