Turquoise Hill Ressources Ltd – Securities Class Action

Date of Initial Application: December 22, 2020

LEX GROUP Inc. has teamed up with the law firm of Financial Litigation to launch a  class action lawsuit against Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. (hereinafter “Turquoise Hill” or the “Company” or “TRQ”) and certain of its current and former directors and officers, on behalf of all persons and entities wherever they may reside or may be domiciled who during the period of time from July 31, 2018 to July 31, 2019 inclusively (hereinafter the “Class Period”) purchased Turquoise Hill’ securities in the secondary market and held some or all of those securities until after July 15, 2019 and or July 31, 2019, and who either:

(1) are or were residents of Canada (regardless over which exchange they acquired Turquoise Hill’s securities); or

(2) acquired Turquoise Hill’s securities in the secondary market in Canada or elsewhere other than in the United States.

The proposed class action alleges that Turquoise Hill and the individual respondents made misrepresentations and omissions of material facts and failed to make timely disclosure of material changes with regards to the expected cost and timing for the underground expansion of Turquoise Hill’s Oyu Tolgoi Mine located in Mongolia. Specifically, the proposed class action alleges that Turquoise Hill and the individual respondents knew or should have known that the underground expansion of the Oyu Tolgoi mine would cost over a billion dollars more and take years longer than the Company was representing to investors, because among other reasons, whistleblowers had expressly told Turquoise Hill’s controlling shareholder about the cost overruns and delays.

Accordingly, if you acquired Turquoise Hills securities during the Class Period in Canada or anywhere other than in the United States, or if you are a Canadian resident who acquired Turquoise Hill’s securities in the United States, you may be part of the proposed class defined by the class action initiated by our office and Financial Litigation. Should you be defined as a member of the Class, you may be entitled to compensation should the Court authorize and ultimately grant the class action on the merits, or should a settlement be reached (and approved by the Court).
