According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York the plaintiff alleges on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Silvercorp Metals Inc. (USA) (NYSE: SVM) between June 24, 2010 and September 13, 2011, that Silvercorp Metals Inc. and certain of its officers and directors violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

More specifically, the plaintiff alleges that between June 24, 2010 and September 13, 2011, the Company allegedly overstated the quality and quantity of its ore reserves. The plaintiff says that Silvercorp's own filings with the Chinese authorities demonstrated that it had lower production than represented in its filings with the SEC.

On September 13, 2011 analyst firm Alfred Little issued a report claiming that Silvercorp Metals had concealed related party transactions and inflated the size of its revenue, earnings, assets, and operations in the documents it filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The report cited a number of sources, including Chinese regulatory filings, consulting geologists, and the results of its own on-the-ground due diligence.

NYSE: SVM stocks fell to as low as $6.01 per share on Sept. 14, 2011.
