Barrick Pascua-Lama Class Action

Merchant Law Group LLP has launched multi-billion dollar shareholder class actions against Barrick Gold Corporation (TSX: ABX) and three of the Company’s senior officers (Aaron W. Regent, Jamie C. Sokalsky, and Ammar Al-joundi).

The Barrick class action lawsuits have been filed with the Courts seeking compensation for purchasers of Barrick securities on the TSX from May 7, 2009 to May 23, 2013. The plaintiffs allege that throughout that time, Barrick Gold’s public disclosures misrepresented the status of its Pascua-Lama mining project located in Chile and Argentina. In April, 2013, the Copiapo Court of Appeals (in Chile) ordered Barrick to halt construction at the Pascua-Lama mining project citing environmental infractions. The class actions allege that Barrick Gold shareholders lost billions of dollars as a result of Barrick’s misrepresentations and failures regarding the Pascua-Lama mine project.
