The Guatemalan government said it would suspend operations at Goldcorp Inc’s Marlin mine due to allegations the facility was contaminating water supplies. The government said in a statement it would act to comply with the complaint lodged on behalf of communities near the mine by the Inter-American Commission for Human Rights, known by its Spanish acronym CIDH.
