Guatemala receives about 42% of mine revenues, with local communities receiving only about 5% of revenues, reports the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University in a report released by economists Lyuba Zarsky and Leonardo Stanley on the economic benefits and environmental risks of the Marlin mine in the Department of San Marcos, Guatemala, which is owned and operated by Goldcorp, a Canadian company. The mine has generated intense controversy since 2003, stemming from concerns about environmental contamination and violations of the rights of indigenous communities.
