Dallas, Texas 12/13/2013 (FINANCIALSTRENDS) – Goldcorp Inc. (USA) (NYSE:GG) is a $17.16 billion market capped gold mining firm which is involved in exploration and extraction activities of gold across its mining properties in “Canada, United States, Mexico and Central and South America”. Over the past one year the stock of this gold manufacturer has been struggling to maintain investor confidence in the stock. This is because of the twin concerns of big dip in gold price internationally and the resultant escalation in the production cost of the metal.

Its market value has also plummeted by a big 43 percent during the past 12 months and has continued well into the past month when it shed an 11.5 percent in its market value.
In spite of the overall weakness in its operation environment, Goldcorp Inc. (USA) (NYSE:GG) has continued to plug away at shoring up share holder value. One such effort has been its continued attempts at settling the land rights issues that the company is involved with “Minera Peñasquito S.A. de C.V. and authorized representatives of the Cerro Gordo Ejido”.
These talks aimed at a mutually agreeable settlement for all concerned is being conducted under the good offices provided by Mexican Secretary of the Economy.
