Event Summary

Perpetua Resources is facing a class action securities lawsuit initiated by Levi & Korsinsky on behalf of investors who suffered losses between April 17, 2024, and February 13, 2025. The lawsuit alleges that Perpetua Resources provided misleading information regarding the initial capital expenditure for its Stibnite Gold Project. On February 13, 2025, Perpetua Resources published an updated cash flow model, revealing an additional $952 million in capital expenses, a 75% increase from original figures. This increase was attributed to inflation, indirect costs, higher mining costs, and direct decisions such as changing electrical pole design and opting to buy-and-build an oxygen plant. Following this news, Perpetua Resources' stock price dropped by approximately 22.39% in a single day.
