Investors faced a spirited protest as
they entered Goldcorp's annual general meeting in Vancouver.
Protesters in masks handed out leaflets detailing Goldcorp's
environmental and human rights violations in the Americas.


Goldcorp's mining operations in
Honduras and Guatamala have contaminated water supplies with heavy
metals. Authors of independent studies on the water supply
contamination have received death threats.

operations and the effect on local populations can be found at:
