Goldcorp

Goldcorp was a Canadian gold mining company. It was founded in 1994 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company was known for its significant gold production and its operations in various countries, including Canada, the United States, Mexico, and South America. Goldcorp operated several large-scale mines, often employing advanced mining techniques.

The company's history involved both growth through acquisitions and organic expansion. It grew to become one of the world's largest gold producers by market capitalization and production volume. Goldcorp was a publicly traded company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. Its business model focused on acquiring and developing gold deposits, aiming for efficient and profitable extraction.

In 2019, Goldcorp was acquired by Newmont Mining Corporation in a significant all-stock deal, creating the world's largest gold miner by production at the time. Following the acquisition, the Goldcorp name ceased to exist as an independent entity, and its assets and operations were integrated into Newmont's portfolio. The company's legacy is tied to its substantial contribution to the global gold supply and its role in the consolidation of the mining industry.
