An open pit gold mine located partly in the neighbouring Sipakapa Municipality.
Mining began operations in 2005 after the government had issued a licence in 2003 and the mine became the largest in Guatemala.
An open-pit gold-silver project previously owned by Reno, Nevada, based Glamis Gold to 2006. Goldcorp acquired the mine from Glamis in 2006 and operated the mine until 2017.
Reclamation was expected to be completed by 2020.
