CUERNAVACA, Mexico, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Canadian miner Goldcorp (G.TO: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) is set to begin commercial production at its massive Penasquito gold deposit in central Mexico on Jan. 1, 2010, the company's Mexico director said on Thursday.

Salvador Garcia told Reuters that the mine would still be developed within the planned budget for the project.

Once Penasquito reaches peak production in about five years the mine is expected to produce 500,000 ounces of gold a year over its 22-year life. (Reporting Mica Rosenberg)
