Levi & Korsinsky Alerts Perpetua Resources Corp. Investors About Class Action Lawsuit Deadline

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has recently reached out to investors of Perpetua Resources Corp. (often referred to as “PPTA”), reminding them of an important lead plaintiff deadline related to a pending class action lawsuit set for May 20, 2025. This lawsuit is particularly aimed at investors who may have faced financial losses during a specific period characterized by allegations of securities fraud between April 17, 2024, and February 13, 2025.

Case Overview and Details

The essence of the lawsuit revolves around claims that the defendants misled investors regarding Perpetua’s initial capital expenditures for the Stibnite Gold Project. Allegations suggest that there was a downplaying of inflation impacts and other risk factors that could lead to increased costs. On February 13, 2025, following the release of a revised cash flow model, Perpetua Resources revealed a staggering increase in capital expenses to $952 million, which is a drastic over 75% hike compared to the original estimates provided to the investors. This announcement starkly contradicted earlier assurances that costs would only rise by 10-20%.

The company attributed these unexpected cost surges to various factors, including inflation and a change in project design from timber to steel electrical poles, as well as strategic decisions to purchase rather than lease components for the project. The immediate aftermath of this announcement was detrimental, resulting in a sharp decline in the company’s stock price which plummeted from $11.97 to $9.29 on the following day – representing a significant 22.39% drop.

Why This Matters for Investors

For investors who may have suffered losses due to these actions of Perpetua Resources, the forthcoming May 20 deadline is critical. Making a move to request the court's appointment as lead plaintiff does not obligate one to cover any costs or fees. Indeed, class members may stand to recover financial losses without incurring out-of-pocket expenses.

Furthermore, the legal expertise of Levi & Korsinsky should not be overlooked. Over two decades, they have successfully helped recover hundreds of millions of dollars for shareholders, earning a reputation as one of the leading firms specializing in securities litigation.
