Cerro Gordo Ejido commenced an action against Peñasquito in Mexico’s agrarian courts in 2009 challenging the land-use agreement, when the company negotiated for use of the land prior to the mine construction.

"According to Goldcorp, the settlement that was reached resolves the dispute completely."

On 18 June 2013, the agrarian courts ruled that the agreement was null and ordered the land to be returned to the Cerro Gordo Ejido, following a series of legal proceedings.

According to Goldcorp, the settlement that was reached resolves the dispute completely.

Concurrently, a new thirty year surface land use agreement has been signed by the parties on commercial terms for the land.
