The lawsuit was originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Barrick Gold Corporation over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between May 7, 2009 and May 23, 2013. According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of all purchasers of Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX) common stock between May 7, 2009 and May 23, 2013, that Barrick Gold Corporation and certain of its officers and directors violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. More specifically, the plaintiff alleges that between May 7, 2009 and May 23, 2013, Barrick Gold Corporation allegedly concealed from shareholders that the costs of bringing Pascua-Lama into production far exceeded any of Barrick Gold Corporation's various publicly presented estimates, that Pascua-Lama presented no reasonable expectation of coming into production within any of Barrick Gold Corporation's various publicly presented time horizons, that Pascua-Lama's environmental impact presented significantly greater risks to the Project and Barrick Gold Corporation than those disclosed by defendants; and that as a result, defendants had no reasonable basis for their statements regarding the cost, timing, and production estimates for the Project, or the reserves and earnings guidance for Barrick Gold Corporation.

Those who purchased shares of Barrick Gold Corporation have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
