Words can’t describe the daunting scene in the barren outlands of the Nevada desert: fires blazing, smashed vehicles smouldering and emergency crews tending to victims. Fortunately the scenario was a mock re-creation to bolster Goldcorp crews’ capabilities in real-life crises.

centred on collaboration and communication, which may seem problematic given the language barriers between Spanish, French and English-speaking attendees, yet the event proved that safety is universally understood.

“Spoken language was unnecessary,” says Ron Everett, Administrative Manager at Wharf mine.

“When you looked across the room and watched someone doing first aid or a fire drill or extraction it was all the same language, and you understood what they were doing and where you could contribute.”

To the Rescue!Training drills keep Goldcorp’s emergency responders ready and able

Every Goldcorp operation worldwide stringently trains and maintains emergency response units skilled in first aid, rescue, fire safety and hazardous materials protocols. This year, these teams were united at the first official Mine Rescue Summit, which brought together personnel from Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Guatemala and Argentina as a global rescue force.

From July 8 to 12 in Reno, participants learned new techniques, shared knowledge and imparted expertise. Like all emergency situations, the forum

UNITED IN ACTION Bernie Haley, Mine Project Planner at Musselwhite and a key organizer of the event, agrees: “It was about the opportunity to learn from each other. Every single team tackled it head on, regardless of the language barrier or any other barrier.”

The idea for the summit was conceived by Goldcorp supervisors and Nevada was selected for ease of travel from North, Central and South America. Hotel and convention facilities hosted educational seminars, information sessions and health and safety workshops.

The desert venue outside Reno is routinely used for drills and training by regional police, fire, ambulance and search and rescue squads, so it was ideal for Goldcorp’s purposes. Teams of six to eight mine employees simulated rescues and extractions from vehicles, confined spaces and flash fires, with local experts on hand for technical guidance.

The five-day event helped hone existing skills and unify the efforts of representatives from all operations as well as corporate levels, including general managers and executives. Goldcorp CEO

Chuck Jeannes and COO George Burns attended and participated in several challenges to reinforce that safety and health is everyone’s responsibility at Goldcorp, and that every employee needs to actively participate in growing the company’s safety culture.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED “It was an opportunity to show some of our corporate staff what mine rescue is all about and give the employees a chance to see some of their senior leaders in a different light,” says Markus Uchtenhagen, Mine Rescue Project Manager at Goldcorp.

Attendee Monica Arrese, a geologist at Cerro Negro mine in Argentina and a member of the site’s rescue team, says training with international colleagues was invaluable for picking up and practicing new skills. “I learned a lot of different techniques to solve emergency situations, especially in first aid since I had three paramedics on my team, one from Wharf mine and two from Los Filos. Every rescuer contributed personal knowledge and experience.”

Deemed a resounding success by all participants, the Mine Rescue Summit is intended to become a biennial Goldcorp event and further improve industry benchmarks, says Uchtenhagen. “We wanted to use the wealth of talent we have within the company to its maximum, and I feel we demonstrated that we have the skills and desire to become a leading force in the rescue field.”

to suffer—as they have—left a profound impact on everyone who participated.

Over the past 18 months we have worked alongside other mining companies to research and analyze the causes of fatalities and Potential Fatal Occurrences. What we have seen is an industry-wide decrease in the number of injuries. Unfortunately, the industry has not achieved similar reductions in

the occurrence of fatalities. Our track record as an industry demonstrates that we are not yet Safe Enough for Our Families and clearly we still have a lot of work to do. This focus on eliminating fatalities will continue to be our highest priority.

The purpose of the Day of Remembrance was to not only educate but to encourage employees to speak up and intervene if they see something that they feel is unsafe. If we are going to create sites that are Safe Enough for Our Families, we need to work together, to look out for each other and be accountable to ourselves, our coworkers and our families.

We need to go beyond thinking “what are the chances something could go wrong,” and also consider “what are the consequences if something does go wrong.” We can’t get comfortable or complacent around the equipment and environments we are working with every day.

We are only interested in safe production, not production that sacrifices anyone’s well-being. We will only get there if we all work together and do our part.

“There are few true turning points in the history of a company. I believe Goldcorp’s inaugural Day of Remembrance will be recognized as one of those landmarks.”

- Paul Farrow, Senior Vice President, People & Safety

Committed to Safety; Goldcorp’s Day of Remembrance

On October 30th, across our entire business from northern Canada to southern Argentina, every single operation and office stopped production for a company-wide Day of Remembrance. This day was an opportunity to stop and think about safety; how to identify risks and make our operations safer; and to pay respect to grieving family and friends who have lost their loved ones in industrial accidents over the years.

Amongst the executive team who participated in events at various sites, I joined the Wharf team in South Dakota in a deeply impactful meeting. The families of those who lost their lives attended sessions at various sites and were invited to address the attendees. As they shared their powerful and emotional stories, we were all deeply touched by how these families were impacted by the loss of their loved ones.

Why i Wear My Seatbelt

It was about this time 15 years ago. My mom and I went to Minneapolis, Minnesota to visit family. We had a wonderful time in the Twin Cities, attending my cousin’s football game, going shopping, boating and fishing on the lake—everything a fun weekend getaway should include.

I will never forget looking at my mom and seeing her face covered in blood knowing I was the one who couldn’t stop the accident. But one thing was certain, we were alive. The driver of the pickup was intoxicated, but not so much as to not put on his seatbelt. He suffered a broken arm and collarbone. I can only attribute all three of us being alive was to the fact that we were all wearing our seatbelts.

To this day, if I drive a couple blocks to the store or take a family vacation across the country, I always put on my seatbelt. I now have two sons which also have to abide by my rule, “Seatbelts On”. I couldn’t imagine losing them in a car accident because of a simple click. So please, be safe, keep others safe, and put on your seatbelt!

We left mid-afternoon and headed home. My mom drove part of the way, and I offered to drive the latter. We stopped in Dawson for a quick snack and swapped drivers. Cornstalks were high and dusk was settling in. I remember very clearly the headlights dancing through the cornstalks headed toward the highway at an alarming speed.

I could see the collision happening and there was nothing I could do to stop it. The pickup failed to stop at a stop sign and hit the passenger door side of our car traveling at a speed over 50 mph. The air bags deployed and burned both my and my mom’s face and neck. The worst part about the air bags deploying was the passenger window shattered just in time to be caught by the air bag and drilled into my mom’s eyes, face, hands and arms. I suffered only minor injuries, most notably bruises from the seatbelt.

The future is promising for residents in and around Red Lake, Ontario due to a recent Collaboration Agreement between Goldcorp and members of the Lac Seul First Nation (LSFN). The Obishikokaang Collaboration Agreement sets out a number of benefits and provisions for LSFN, including training and employment opportunities, business and contracting opportunities, a framework for consultation on various aspects of project development including environmental assessments, and financial contributions that Goldcorp will provide to LSFN in support of sustainable community development initiatives.

Representing about 3,200 band members, LSFN Chief Clifford Bull together with Goldcorp’s Chris Cormier, Mine General Manager at Red Lake Mine, formalized the agreement after five years of collaboration. The result is a plan for long-term training programs, employment, business and contracting opportunities, environmental policies and funding to support lasting LSFN community development initiatives.

At the signing ceremony, Chief Bull said the accord demonstrates how First Nations can successfully partner with industry for collective gain. “I’m elated. I’m joyful. This is a great day for Lac Seul. I’m really excited about what this will mean for our youth and the opportunities they can build for themselves now that we have this in place.”

Cormier wholeheartedly agrees. “This agreement demonstrates Goldcorp’s continuing commitment to working with First Nations to ensure both the sustainable development of the areas in which we operate and long-term economic benefits for communities. We look forward to working in partnership to foster continued dialogue and implement the initiatives set out.”

In addition to vocational training, jobs and offshoot ventures, the agreement sets out financial support for the Lac Seul Training Centre of Excellence and a Business Equity Fund. Established last year with Goldcorp’s assistance, the Centre offers certified training, educational programs and workshops for residents of local communities as well as adjacent regions for widespread positive impact. Postsecondary scholarships and bursaries are also available to LSFN youth.

The Equity Fund was likewise co-created by LSFN and Goldcorp to foster business growth, capacity building and participation in the regional economy. This initiative kicked-off in May when

Another successful allianceThe LSFN Collaboration Agreement is one of several major accords forged by Goldcorp.

In early 2011, a landmark partnership with the Cree Nation of Wemindji in northern Québec to share in the prosperity of mine operations set a precedent for how global companies and Aboriginal groups around the world can work together for mutual benefit.

fund proceeds helped acquire and launch a band-owned and operated franchise of the popular Tim Hortons restaurant chain. The intention is to continue creating enterprising opportunities for generations to come.

“This is a significant milestone in our relationship and one which speaks to the growing trust between Goldcorp and First Nations and our willingness to work together,” says Colin Webster, Director of Aboriginal, Government and Community Relations, Canada and US. “We are excited for what the future will bring and very much looking forward to the many successes that we will celebrate together.”


To some people, choosing to live ”off the grid” is an escape from the hectic pace of city life. To long-time residents in remote areas, limited access to power and load restrictions mean sudden, frequent outages and disrupted service in homes, schools, businesses, health care facilities—anywhere, at anytime—causing not only inconvenience but inability to go about daily activities.

and expand the grid serving the Pickle Lake area. Since then, five additional First Nations communities have signed on.

In local dialect, Wataynikaneyap means “line that brings light” and will translate into many benefits, says Margaret Kenequanash, representative of the First Nations partners. “Connecting

To compensate, there is over-reliance on diesel power which is both costly and can be harmful to the environment. To address these issues in First Nations communities in northwestern Ontario, Goldcorp is helping connect remote communities to provincial power grids for safe, reliable, clean electricity.

In April, 13 First Nations groups, in partnership with Goldcorp, founded Wataynikaneyap Power, an Aboriginal-run company which aims to design, construct and operate a transmission line to link to


FORGING FUTURES

First Nations communities and co-owners of Wataynikaneyap Power represent:

communities to the transmission grid will enhance community development, improve quality of life and open doors for more economic and business opportunities within the communities.”

The project has the potential to stimulate local economies by creating approximately 1,200 construction-related jobs and 60 long-term positions once operational. Reliable power will also enable uninterrupted civic and commercial services while supporting start-up business potential. “Our goal is to create as many local economic opportunities for our First Nations communities as possible” says Kenequanash.

GENERATING LASTING BENEFITS In addition, the initiative will save money and possibly lives. Current reliance on diesel power has several drawbacks. Transportation and handling pose significant hazards to people and habitat. Diesel is also a very expensive method of generating electricity, with associated costs estimated at approximately $68 million annually in remote northwestern communities. Hydro electricity is far safer and cheaper.

Workers at Goldcorp’s nearby Musselwhite Mine also welcome a new transmission line to replace

the existing one, which is over 70 years old and unable to meet the operation’s reliability and capacity needs.

Currently Wataynikaneyap Power is conducting environmental assessments for the project which is a two-phase plan. Phase one is a 300-kilometre transmission line to supplement service to Pickle Lake and Musselwhite mine with completion slated for 2015. Phase two will extend transmission to more northern regions and First Nation communities by 2017.

As a 50/50 partner, Goldcorp’s role is to facilitate project development, provide support to Wataynikaneyap Power until a long-term transmitter provider is secured, and collaborate closely to ensure a lasting positive legacy to underpin Goldcorp’s vision: Together, Creating Sustainable Value.

Gil Lawson, Mine General Manager at Musselwhite Mine, sums up the corporate commitment this way: “Wataynikaneyap Power is another example of how industry and First Nations can work together on projects that are good for the economy and the environment while benefitting communities in the region for years to come.”

Training for Tomorrow

Our contributions to communities are grounded in four key pillars that we believe are critical to lasting social and economic progress: Education, Health, Community Development and Arts & Culture. Goldcorp supports educational programs tailored to youth, parents, seniors and the underprivileged for benefits that last far beyond the mining cycle. By building social and economic skills and capabilities, we help create broad future potential and tomorrow’s global talent pool.

Goldcorp donated a total of $10 million towards two very important health initiatives in Canada last fall

MEDICAL CLINIC ExPANSION Red Lake, Ontario: When shovels hit the ground this winter to start constructing the expansion of the Red Lake Medical Clinic, it will be a groundbreaking symbol of positive growth.

Plans include a new facility with advanced equipment and capabilities to better serve over 5,000 residents of the Red Lake area as well as surrounding communities, including employees

and family members of Goldcorp’s Red Lake Gold Mines (RLGM), which donated $5 million to the Municipality of Red Lake for project funding.

“Without that money, nothing would be happening” says Dave McLeod, Chairman of the Red Lake Community Health Care Committee (CHCC).

“There was a real need to have something done, as Goldcorp did. It’s going to really help.”

Goldcorp has long recognized the importance of contributing to the communities in which we operate. This includes economic support, as well as responding to the call to improve the health and wellbeing of employees, family, friends and the community overall.

Since 2008, RLGM has underwritten several studies and financially contributed towards the CHCC’s physician recruitment and retention efforts. In mid-2011, the target of seven doctors to adequately serve the population was achieved. Years of consultation with clinic stakeholders also ensured that the new building will meet the specific needs of Red Lake residents and improve ready access to medical professionals, equipment and services well into the future.

“Goldcorp places high priority on the safety and wellness of the people in communities in which we operate and this gift is consistent with that commitment,” said Chris Cormier, RLGM General Manager. “RLGM believes in sustainable projects that benefit the community during the life of mine and beyond. The Red Lake Medical Clinic will create just such a lasting legacy.”

For Dr. Evan Wood, an equivalent conundrum exists for medical staff trying to help people with addiction issues in Vancouver, Canada’s notorious Downtown Eastside, without adequate, specialized training in mental health and addictions medicine.

In this context, Goldcorp donated $3 million towards the first of two unique addiction and mental health programs serving persons with addiction in British Columbia. The sum is part of

a total $5 million donation provided by Goldcorp to support addiction recovery and mental health. The $3 million is earmarked for two key initiatives: establishing the Goldcorp Fellowship in Addiction Medicine at St. Paul’s Hospital, which will be Western Canada’s only training program of its kind; and creating the country’s first interdisciplinary addiction medicine fellowship

training for 20 specialists over five years. Four physicians and one nurse practitioner have begun the program, with future focus on sustainable addiction treatment strategies.

“The program has been an incredible success so far in terms of the accreditation from the American Board of Addiction Medicine,” says Dr. Wood, a respected Professor of Medicine as well as Canada Research Chair at the University of British Columbia.

“Goldcorp CEO Chuck Jeannes made clear the Company’s interest in doing something about drug and alcohol addiction in this disadvantaged community...they were able to understand the structural barrier to having skilled physicians who really know how to help patients recover.”

The other $2 million was invested in Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams who successfully operate in collaboration with the Vancouver Police Department and BC Housing. ACT is an evidence-based form of multidisciplinary

Since 2012, those receiving ACT follow-up had a 70% reduction in emergency room visits, a 61% reduction in criminal justice involvement and a 23% reduction in victimization.

The potential positive impact is immense, says Dr. Wood. “Goldcorp’s generous funding will create the capacity to increase care and advance research to revolutionize addiction treatment in these marginalized communities and beyond.”

Mobilizing Health CareSupporting Breast Cancer Awareness: El Morro’s cancer screening brings women and families peace of mindThis spring, Goldcorp helped bring a mobile mammogram unit to conduct critical breast-cancer screening services for thousands of women who live in isolated areas without means or modes to travel to faraway city clinics.

A joint initiative of the Arturo López Pérez Foundation, the National Women’s Service of the Atacama Region and Goldcorp El Morro, the screening device provided peace of mind for over 200 women. Breast cancer was detected in one woman who has gone on to receive further treatment. 24 additional women were identified as needing secondary testing and possible treatment. Without the mobile clinic, their symptoms may not have been detected until it was too late.

This lifesaving prevention program is just one of many ways Goldcorp demonstrates how we care for communities in which we live, work and play.

Thanks to support from Goldcorp, generous church contributions and hard work by students and staff of Titotay Memorial School, Dakota’s dream came true.

She and three schoolmates traveled by plane from their remote Cat Lake reserve, located southwest of Musselwhite Mine in Northern Ontario, across the country to British Columbia where exciting first-time experiences awaited: amusement park rides, movie theatres, whitewater rafting, a gondola lift to the top of Grouse Mountain and a deep-sea voyage at the Vancouver Aquarium.

Wish Granted

The 10-day excursion last May was organized by teacher Heather Leard, who chaperones a trip to a different destination every few years to reward the children for achieving goals and to open their eyes

to the many people, places and cultures of Canada. All too often, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and the end of their educational experience.

“The reality is we lose a lot of them before they get to Grade 8. There are kids on the reserve who have never had a graduation or any kind of celebration” says Leard. Those who do go on to high school must leave Cat Lake for larger communities such as Sioux Lookout or Thunder Bay.

MAkING THE GRADE The chance to embark on these dream adventures is open to all Grade 7 and 8 students, but only four qualified by maintaining good attendance, completing 20 hours of volunteer work and raising $500 or more through individual initiative. Of course, teachers and staff work equally hard, hosting fundraisers and collecting donations to cover the $18,000 cost.

“There is a real sense of pride for them deciding on a goal, working together as a team and depending on each other, collaborating, getting this goal accomplished, and then going on the trip and having the time of their lives. It’s a big, huge deal” says Leard.

The itinerary included a tour of Goldcorp headquarters in downtown Vancouver, where the kids met executives, shared their stories of Cat Lake, discussed employment and training opportunities, business development and community benefits sustainable beyond the life of the mine.

When Adele Faubert, Musselwhite’s Manager, Aboriginal Affairs, heard about the trip, she knew it was an ideal fit with Goldcorp’s commitment to support local health and education programs. “It’s a positive life experience for the youth to see other parts of the country and be exposed to different cultures outside of their small isolated community.”

“We don’t operate the way the old mining companies used to, which is to pack up and leave sites as is” says László Götz, Environmental Manager at PGM. “We’ve committed to extensive rehabilitation across the city.”

international opportunities and adventures cinched his choice.

After seven months surveying, mine planning and filling in as a shift supervisor, in 2004 Tripp took advantage of a chance to transfer to San Martin mine in Honduras. His new duties included short and long-term mine planning and supervising engineering group activities. In his spare time, he won the heart of a co-worker who is now his wife.

His calling came naturally he says, first as a tot, then as a teenager and ultimately after a few mine tours. “I always enjoyed playing in the dirt as a kid, and I worked as an equipment operator at a small gravel quarry while in high school. After enrolling at the Colorado School of Mines, and getting the opportunity to visit some local mines, I decided to take a few mining classes and was hooked.”

Months before graduating with an engineering degree, Tripp had several job offers but chose a junior position at Marigold mine in Nevada as part of a training program that preceded Goldcorp’s current Graduate Development Program. Though it wasn’t his highest-paying option, the promise of

“It’s really exciting to have this responsibility—and a challenge for sure—to find the next growth opportunities for Goldcorp.”

- Andy Tripp, Goldcorp Manager, Business Development

Today Tripp is still living and working his dream career. As Manager, Business Development, at Goldcorp headquarters in Vancouver, he is honing skills in the business side of mining, working with the Corporate Development Team to assess M&A, opportunities, traveling the world conducting asset valuations and providing recommendations

to Goldcorp’s senior management and Board members.

“It’s really exciting to have this responsibility—and a challenge for sure—to find

the next growth opportunities for Goldcorp” says Tripp. “We are such a fast-growing company, there are so many options available for those seeking to broaden their experience and embrace any and every opportunity to learn new skills in all facets of mining. Be willing to move around, learn new languages and experience new cultures, and a career with Goldcorp can take you wherever you want to go.”

The next move seven months later took him and his family to Guatemala, where he worked at Marlin mine in planning and operations for both surface and underground projects, before being promoted to Chief Engineer.

Four locations in three countries over three years was a whirlwind, but also the realization of a dream, he says. “Living and working for an extended period of time in a foreign country was a great experience, both personally and professionally. While at Marlin mine, I had the opportunity to be involved with the first modern gold operation in the country, and saw first-hand the benefits that we brought to the region. I have many fond memories of Guatemala and the people I worked and lived with there.”

Ask someone at a mining operation today “Who is responsible for safety and health?” and most people, no matter what their job, will reply “I am.”

However, ask “Who is responsible for the environment, and who takes care of our community affairs?” and many will point to the environment or community relations department.

A culture shift is underway at Goldcorp to ensure the answer to both questions is the same: “I am.”

Goldcorp is set to roll out a new set of integrated standards across all operations, known as the Sustainability Excellence Management System (SEMS). They will include standards for environment,

community relations, safety and health. Site-wide input on the SEMS will be incorporated and content finalized by the end of the year—complete with performance measurement tools to ensure accountability and responsibility enterprise-wide.

Jerry Danni, Vice President, Environment at Goldcorp says the SEMS will transform the Company’s current environmental program into one with a strategic longer-term vision.

In collaboration with the corporate social responsibility (CSR), safety and health departments, the development of the SEMS has broadened in scope and the process is becoming more engaging and effective.

Danni says the timing of SEMS will follow a phased approach, concentrating initially on environmental standards, with the CSR, safety and health standards following closely behind. “It’s designed to be very simple and straightforward for everyone to understand

and execute, while at the same time improving our standards and practices across the Company.”

Not only will SEMS entrench a greener working culture, it will raise today’s benchmark international standards for the global mining industry and support Goldcorp’s Operating for Excellence targets, which include: a five-year plan to improve our 2014 water strategy, energy efficiency by 15%, reduce emissions by 20% and generate at least 5% of energy from renewable sources.

NATURAL PROGRESSIONThere are a number of initiatives underway to meet these objectives. For example, the construction of a 43-kilometre natural gas pipeline at Red Lake Gold Mines reduced both Company and community dependence on diesel fuel and shifted propane-heating loads to co-generate up to 30 megawatts of additional power. Conversion to cleaner, more efficient natural gas is expected to decrease the carbon footprint between 250,000 to 350,000 tonnes.

Goldcorp is also a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact and the International Council on Mining and Metals, an alliance committed to universal principles of human rights, labour and the environment.

Recently, Goldcorp was nominated for the 2013 Canadian Society of Corporate Secretaries Excellence in Governance Awards in several categories, including ‘Best sustainability, ethics and environmental governance programs.’ “While it’s an honour to be included on this list, it will take more hard work to keep us there,” says Danni.

“It will require the ongoing participation and commitment of all employees, similar to how we have all approached safety and health as a top priority. At Goldcorp, we believe working to protect the environment is equally as important.”

The annual event, organized by the Vancouver Aquarium and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), is just one of many programs the Company supports to underpin a worldwide commitment to social responsibility.

In 2010, Goldcorp financially supported the WWF’s North American Water Footprint Study, a report exploring the embeddedness of water in the economies of Canada, the US and Mexico, and the resulting interdependencies on external freshwater resources that occur through international trade.

WATER WORkSIn 2011, the Company seconded an expert employee for 18 months to assist WWF with an in-depth North American study on the water footprint of gold. Goldcorp paid the salary of Alicia Sierra, Environmental Engineer at Los Filos mine in Mexico, to work with WWF as a Freshwater Research Analyst, and return to Goldcorp with insightful conservation strategies to improve practices and processes in every region of operations.

WWF Canada’s Manager of Strategic Partnerships, Joanna Barrington, says

“Goldcorp is committed to responsible mining practices and has demonstrated a strong desire to not only reduce their own water footprint, but also act as a leader for the whole industry.”

Recently, Goldcorp also donated $1 million CDN to the Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) - the single largest corporate financial contribution in PSF’s

history. The funding will help enhance salmon restoration projects across British Columbia and alleviate a chronic funding shortfall in these efforts, which are vital to replenishing the species’ dwindling natural populations. The health of salmon is a barometer of the viability of entire ecosystems, so Goldcorp’s support for conservation has positive implications for the broader environment too.

In addition, Goldcorp is the lead sponsor of the PSF’s fundraising gala every year and Company employees are dedicated supporters of the organization. “Our financial donations are magnified several times over through the work of volunteers,” says Jeannes.

“We at Goldcorp are in an industry that impacts the physical environment,” Jeannes adds.

“Conservation activities like those of the WWF and PSF, that protect our most precious natural resources, are very important to us.”

old mining is a water-intensive business everywhere in the world, and each region poses unique challenges.

As Goldcorp’s Director of Environment, Lisa Wade, explains: “In the desert, the issue is scarcity. In some northern locations, the issue may be the abundance of water, which requires us to discharge excess water into the environment. In that case it’s not water availability, it’s water quality. It’s a different issue, but it’s of equal importance.”

In north-eastern Mexico’s arid climate, availability is scarce. The situation requires clever techniques to align water dependency with environmental responsibility.

A new source of well water is in the works at Peñasquito

Committed to Environmental Excellence

Over 80% of water used at Peñasquito mine is recycled. The remaining 20%—”new” water—comes from deep underground wells, but levels can fall short of production requirements. To maintain operations at full capacity, fresh ideas were needed, while respecting key Goldcorp mandates of creating sustainable value for communities and conserving resources.

So in consultation with local residents and ejidos (communal farms), where agricultural irrigation is a constant concern, the Peñasquito team implemented eco-friendly techniques to increase water supply for the Company and citizens.

TAPPING FRESH POTENTIALAs a result of refining processes and improving efficiencies, the mine can now process more ore tonnes per day using the same amount of water

as previous says Britt Buhl, Peñasquito’s Water/Tailings Project Manager. “That directly reduces our consumption. It has a real impact.”

The team is also tapping additional potential from an existing reliable source—Cedros Basin, a 400-metre deep reservoir holding over 10 billion cubic metres of water. “Finding a new access point into the Cedros Basin took months of exploration, geophysical research, computer modelling and test drillings,” says Mike Jacobs, Goldcorp’s Director of Water and Tailings. The design and third-party review of the new well field are now done and pre-construction has begun, with completion slated for the second half of 2014.

During exploration, several shallow well fields were also located in the Cedros Basin. Though unsuitable for mine use, they are ideal for ejidos.

“Just because a well doesn’t provide an industrial quantity of water, it’s still a useful and productive well,” says Jacobs. “So we provided community access to those wells. We’ve already donated three, and as the new field is drilled, we expect to donate two more.”

Equally important, sustainability is achieved because the mine’s water consumption does not deplete the shallow sources, nor the reservoir’s total holdings. Jacobs explains: “We are only allowed to draw from the water that flows into the basin, what’s called the recharge water. And we only take a percentage of that. The local communities also take a percentage. So the reservoir is still continually recharging.”

The program exemplifies Goldcorp’s environmental commitment, says Buhl. “We need to ensure that our operations are not limiting the quantity or quality of water in the area. In fact, many ejidos are seeing their water supply increase.”

Wade adds, “Water is a sensitive resource. There’s so much awareness among stakeholders. So our management of water is, and must be, to the highest standards. And so must our transparency. Stakeholders are watching.”
