Kirby McInerney LLP Reminds Investors That a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed on Behalf of Gatos Silver, Inc. (GATO) Investors and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm Before April 25, 2022

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on behalf of those who acquired Gatos Silver, Inc. (“Gatos Silver” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GATO): (a) common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO” or “Offering”) conducted on or about October 28, 2020; and/or (b) securities between October 28, 2020 and January 25, 2022, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors have until April 25, 2022 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

Gatos Silver focuses on the production and exploration of silver- and zinc-rich mineral deposits. Its primary efforts are the operation of the Los Gatos Joint Venture in Chihuahua, Mexico with Dowa Metals and Mining Co., Ltd. In addition to commercializing lead and zinc concentrates, the Company performs additional definition drilling to define and expand mineralization of the Cerro Los Gatos deposit (“CLG”).

In October 2020, Gatos Silver conducted its IPO, selling approximately 21,430,000 shares of common stock at a price of $7.00 per share.

On January 25, 2022, Gatos Silver revealed that “there were errors in the technical report entitled ‘Los Gatos Project, Chihuahua, Mexico’ with an effective date of July 1, 2020 . . . , as well as indications that there is an overestimation in the existing resource model.” On a preliminary basis, the Company estimates a potential reduction of the metal content of its CLG’s mineral reserve ranging from 30% to 50% of the metal content remaining after depletion. On this news, the price of Gatos Silver stock declined by $7.02 per share, or approximately 68.9%, from $10.19 per share to close at $3.17 per share on January 26, 2022.

By February 22, 2022, when the lawsuit was filed, Gatos Silver shares were trading as low as $3.20 per share, a nearly 54% decline from the $7.00 per share IPO price.

The lawsuit alleges throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the technical report for Gatos Silver’s primary mine, the CLG, contained certain errors; and (2) that, among other things, the mineral reserves had been overestimated by as much as 50%.
