Gatos Silver, Inc. (GATO) Investigation:

The investigation focuses on statements concerning Gatos' Cerro Los Gatos ("CLG") mine located in Chihuahua, Mexico.

Specifically, as recently as July 15, 2021, Gatos affirmed the Company's estimates in its July 1, 2020 Technical Report ("2020 Technical Report") that the CLG deposit "contains approximately 9.6 million diluted tonnes of proven and probable mineral reserves." This and other statements allowed Company insiders to sell 11.4 million shares to the investing public at $14 per share for total proceeds of about $159 million.

But on Jan. 25, 2022, Gatos disclosed that during a resource and reserve update process, which included a detailed reconciliation of recent production performance, the Company concluded that there were errors in the 2020 Technical Report, as well as indications that there is an overestimation in the existing resource model.

As a result, the Company estimated a potential reduction of the metal content of CLG mineral reserve ranging from 30% to 50% of the metal content and warned that the mineral resource and reserve estimates in the 2020 Technical Report should not be relied upon

This revelation drove the price of Gatos shares as much as 70% lower on Jan. 26, 2022.

"We're focused on investors' losses and when Gatos knew of the 2020 Technical Report flaws," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
