Class Action Notice: Perpetua Resources Corp.
In a recent announcement, Levi & Korsinsky, LLP revealed a significant class action lawsuit impacting investors of
Perpetua Resources Corp. (NASDAQ:
PPTA). This legal action highlights crucial information for shareholders, particularly those affected by the alleged securities fraud during the period between April 17, 2024, and February 13, 2025.
Overview of the Lawsuit
The class action lawsuit aims to recover losses incurred by investors who purchased or held shares of Perpetua Resources during the specified timeframe. The plaintiffs argue that the company engaged in misleading practices regarding their financial performance and anticipated expenses, particularly concerning the
Stibnite Gold Project.
The lawsuit accuses the defendants of downplaying the impact of inflation and various factors that would lead to increased costs associated with the Stibnite Gold Project. Notably, the company's communications included statements that minimized the expected capital expenditures, which have proven to be misleading.
Increased Capital Expenditures Unveiled
On
February 13, 2025, Perpetua disclosed a revised cash flow model for the Stibnite Gold Project. This model revealed a staggering increase in costs, amounting to
$952 million, which represents an over
75% hike from the original estimates provided to investors. Such disclosures raised alarms, as the management had previously suggested only a modest increase of approximately
10-20%.
The reasons cited for these additional expenditures include:
- - Inflation-related cost pressures
- - Increased indirect costs
- - Elevated mining costs
- - Strategic changes in project design and execution, such as opting for steel instead of timber for electrical poles and the decision to acquire rather than lease essential equipment like the oxygen plant.
As a direct consequence of this announcement, Perpetua's share price plummeted from
$11.97 per share to
$9.29 per share, reflecting a decline of around
22.39% in just one trading day.

Investors who experienced financial losses due to the fluctuating stock prices of Perpetua Resources are encouraged to act quickly. They have until
