GUATEMALA CITY, April 14 (Reuters) - A tunnel collapsed
inside a Goldcorp gold and silver mine in Guatemala on Thursday
and one worker is trapped inside, the Canadian company said.
The collapse occurred at the Marlin mine in the department
of San Marcos, around 250 km (155 miles) to the northwest of
Guatemala City, said Julio Merida, general manager of Montana
Exploradora de Guatemala, Goldcorp's G.TO local unit.
Goldcorp said in a statement that one worker was trapped
underground and still missing.
In 2015, Goldcorp, the world's largest gold producer by
market value, produced 168,600 ounces of gold at the mine, of a
total of around 3.5 million ounces of gold worldwide.
