DEADLINE ALERT: Brower Piven Notifies Shareholders of October 24, 2016 Deadline In Class Action Lawsuit And Encourages Those With Losses In Excess of $100,000 From Investment In Goldcorp, Inc. To Contact The Firm - GG


STEVENSON, Md., Oct. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of Goldcorp, Inc. (NYSE:GG) (“Goldcorp” or the “Company”) securities during the period between March 31, 2014 and August 24, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until October 24, 2016 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Goldcorp securities during the Class Period.  Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that levels of the mineral selenium rose in one groundwater monitoring well near the Peñasquito Mine as early as October 2013, in October 2014, Goldcorp reported a rise in selenium levels in groundwater to the Mexican government after the contamination near the Peñasquito Mine waste facility intensified, and in August 2016, Goldcorp told Mexican regulators that contaminated water had also been found in other areas near the Peñasquito Mine.

According to the complaint, following an August 24, 2016 Reuters article stating that Mexican regulators were examining whether Goldcorp broke any regulations in its handling of a long-running leak of contaminated water at the Peñasquito Mine, the value of Goldcorp shares declined significantly.
