Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") reminds investors of the upcoming December 14, 2020 to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. ("Turquoise Hill" or the "Company") (NYSE: TRQ ) securities between July 17, 2018 and July 31, 2019 inclusive (the "Class Period").

On February 26, 2019 , the Company announced in a press release that, while "the [Oyu Tolgoi] project cost was expected to remain within the $5.3 billion budget," a review had determined that "there was an increasingly likely risk of a further delay to sustainable first production beyond Q3'21." Turquoise Hill attributed the "likely risk" to productivity setbacks in completing Shaft 2 and "challenging ground conditions that have had a direct impact on the project's critical path."

On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.27 , or approximately 13%, to close at $1.83 per share on February 27, 2019 , thereby injuring investors.

Then, on July 15, 2019 , Turquoise Hill announced that sustainable first production from the underground development of Oyu Tolgoi would now be delayed by another 9 to 21 months until May 2022 to June 2023 . The Company also stated that "the development capital spend for the project may increase by $1.2 to $1.9 billion over the $5.3 billion previously disclosed."

On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.47 , or 44%, to close at $0.60 per share on July 16, 2019 , thereby injuring investors further.

Then, on July 31, 2019 , after the market closed, Turquoise Hill disclosed that it had taken a $600 million impairment charge and a significant "deferred income tax recognition adjustment" tied to the Oyu Tolgoi project, and that it had suffered a loss in the second quarter.

On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.05 , or over 8%, to close at $0.53 per share on August 1, 2019 , thereby injuring investors further.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the production of underground development of Oyu Tolgoi was not proceeding as planned; (2) there were substantial undisclosed underground stability problems that called into question the design of the mine and the projected cost and timing of production; (3) Turquoise Hill's publicly released estimates of the cost, date of completion, and dates for production from the underground mine were not attainable; (4) the development capital required for the underground development of Oyu Tolgoi would cost substantially more than a billion dollars over what Turquoise Hill had represented; (5) Turquoise Hill would require additional financing and/or equity to complete the project; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Trump's Copper Tariffs: Market Impact and How to Invest

Tariffs have been central to Donald Trump’s presidency even before he assumed office at the start of 2025.

From his perspective, levies on nearly all US imports are meant to balance a trade deficit with major partners, including Canada, Mexico, the EU and the UK, while stimulating domestic production in key sectors.

Trump has put forward other reasons for tariffs as well, saying he wants to stem the flow of illegal drugs and immigration, and mentioning broader national security concerns. How effective tariffs would be at controlling these issues is unclear, but they have sown uncertainty and chaos through global financial markets.

Top 5 Copper Reserves by Country

Copper has become a hot topic due to its role in the green energy transition and its necessity for urbanization. However, the lack of incoming supply in the long term has experts concerned.

Due to its importance in construction, energy transmission and new technologies, copper is a critical metal needed to power the future of our society. However, mined supply has not kept pace with demand, with few new operations coming online, and older mines facing decreasing grades and lower outputs.

The term “peak copper” was coined because some experts believe that copper reserves may be diminishing. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), more than 700 million metric tons of copper have been mined throughout history, and current economic global copper reserves stand at 980 million metric tons.
