Investor Alert: Class Action Filed Against Perpetua Resources Corp.
On March 24, 2025, Robbins LLP announced that a class action lawsuit has been initiated on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Perpetua Resources Corp. (NASDAQ: PPTA) from April 17, 2024, to February 13, 2025. This case stems from serious allegations that the company misled shareholders regarding the financial implications of its Stibnite Gold Project.
The Core of the Allegations
The lawsuit claims that throughout the specified class period, Perpetua Resources created a deceptive narrative, suggesting that they had reliable projections regarding the costs associated with the Stibnite Gold Project. However, the complaint states that management significantly downplayed the risks associated with inflation and other cost drivers. In reality, the financial burden was expected to be far greater than the initially communicated estimated increase of 10% to 20%.
On February 13, 2025, Perpetua revealed a revised cash flow model that disclosed daunting new capital expenses totaling $952 million - more than a 75% increase over the costs previously presented to investors. The company attributed this escalation to several factors including inflation, indirect costs, and specific management decisions that deviated from initial plans, such as the redesigning of electrical poles and a shift from leasing an oxygen plant to purchasing one.
This shocking announcement had a severe impact on Perpetua’s stock price, causing a steep decline from $11.97 to $9.29 in just one day, marking a loss of approximately 22.39%.
Next Steps for Investors
Investors who are interested in taking part in this class action must file their lead plaintiff papers with the court by May 20, 2025. Being designated as a lead plaintiff means representing the interests of other class members during the legal proceedings, although it is not necessary to participate in the case to qualify for potential recovery. Those who prefer not to engage can still be considered as absent class members, maintaining their rights without further action.
Robbins LLP emphasizes that all legal representation is provided on a contingency fee basis, meaning that shareholders will incur no fees or expenses unless there is a successful recovery.
