On April 22, 2025, Pomerantz LLP announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against Perpetua Resources Corp., a company listed on NASDAQ as PPTA.

Interested investors should also include necessary details such as their mailing address, phone number, and the number of shares acquired, which could help in establishing their claims.
Background of the Lawsuit
The heart of this class action involves serious allegations of securities fraud and improper business practices attributed to Perpetua’s executives. Investors are being informed that they have until May 20, 2025, to seek appointment as Lead Plaintiff in this class action by the Court if they purchased any Perpetua securities during the designated Class Period. The lawsuit arises from a troubling revelation on February 13, 2025. At that time, Perpetua released an updated cash flow model for its Stibnite Gold Project, revealing a staggering increase in projected capital expenses to $952 million – an increment exceeding 75% of what was previously disclosed to investors.
Perpetua attributed these elevated costs to various factors including inflationary impacts, indirect costs, heightened mining expenses, and significant corporate decisions—such as transitioning the design of electrical poles from timber to steel designs. In addition, Perpetua's choice to invest in building its oxygen plant rather than leasing it contributed to this financial turmoil.
As a direct result of these revelations, Perpetua's stock price experienced a considerable decline, plummeting by $2.68, or a striking 22.39%, to settle at $9.29 per share by close of trading on February 14, 2025. This drastic drop underscores the potential financial strain on investors who were led to believe in earlier, more optimistic cost projections.
