Gatos agreed to pay $21M to investors to resolve the claims over errors in a technical report.

Case Details:

On January 25, 2022, Gatos Silver disclosed errors in a technical report, suggesting a potential 30-50% reduction in mineral reserve metal content.

This news led to a 69% $GATO drop on January 26, 2022, and $GATO traded nearly 54% below the IPO price.

Gatos was accused of not disclosing errors in the technical report and the overestimation of mineral reserves.

Gatos has now decided to end these allegations and pay a $21M settlement.
