According to the Complaint, throughout the Class Period, Barrick made materially false and/or misleading statements, and failed to disclose: that the pipes and safety systems at its Veladero mine were not robust enough to prevent gold-bearing solution spills; that Argentinian authorities would restrict the addition of cyanide to the Veladero mine’s heap leach facility and require remedial work; that these developments would impact the production capacity of the Veladero mine; that Barrick’s Veladero mine production guidance and total gold production guidance were overstated; and that as a result, the Company’s statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On April 24, 2017, Barrick revised its full-year guidance, stating that “[f]ull-year gold production is now expected to be 5.3-5.6 million ounces, down from our previous range of 5.6-5.9 million ounces.” The Company attributed about two-thirds of the decrease to the planned sale of 50% percent of its Veladero mine. Barrick revised Veladero-specific guidance, forecasting full-year production at Veladero of 630,000-730,000 ounces, compared to its previously-issued guidance of 770,000-830,000 ounces. When this news was announced, Barrick’s stock price dropped materially, which harmed investors according to the Complaint.
