The complaint centers on whether Kandi manipulated its financial statements, including overstating revenues.

More specifically, according to the complaint (1) Kandi artificially inflated reported revenues through undisclosed related party transactions, and (2) most of Kandi's sales during the past year were to undisclosed related parties, indicating the lack of arms-length transactions.

But investors began to learn the truth, according to the complaint, on Nov. 30, 2020, when Hindenburg Research published a scathing lengthy forensic report based on on-the-ground inspections at Kandi's factories and customer locations in China, interviews with over a dozen former employees, and review of numerous litigation documents and internal public records.

According to Hindenburg, Kandi engaged in a "brazen scheme" to "falsify revenue using fake sales to undisclosed affiliates." Hindenburg reported (1) it unmasked Kandi's top customers and found that almost 64% of Kandi's last twelve months sales have been to undisclosed related parties, and (2) the company's largest customer, representing about 55% of Kandi's last twelve months sales, shares a phone number with a Kandi subsidiary and a Kandi executive. Hindenburg further concludes Kandi's financials corroborate its concerns, noting that "[t]he company has consistently booked revenue it cannot collect, a classic hallmark of fake revenue."

This news drove the price of Kandi shares crashing lower.

"We're focused on, among other things, investor losses and proving Kandi engaged in revenue recognition fraud," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NYSE:NAK) Securities Fraud Class Action:

Class Period: Dec. 21, 2017 - Nov. 25, 2020

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Feb. 2, 2021

The lawsuit alleges Northern Dynasty and senior executives misled investors about the viability of the company's proposed Pebble Project, a large mining project in Alaska.

In past quarters, Northern Dynasty repeatedly touted its progress in obtaining the necessary permitting for the Pebble Project. The company and senior management also repeatedly assured investors that the Pebble Project design included a substantially reduced development footprint and meaningful new environmental safeguards and, as a result, would likely receive necessary permits from federal, state and local regulatory agencies.

Investors began to learn the truth through a series of partial disclosures beginning on Aug. 24, 2020, when the U.S. Army announced the Pebble Project would significantly degrade the environment, result in significant adverse effects on the aquatic system or human environment, and as proposed "cannot be permitted." This news sent the price of Northern Dynasty shares crashing lower.

On Sept. 21, 2020, the Environmental Investigation Agency released recordings of conversations between Northern Dynasty senior executives and EIA investigators revealing the company's plans to expand the Pebble Project mine operations from 20 years to 180 - 200 years and to expand it geographically.

Finally, on Nov. 25, 2020, Northern Dynasty announced the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers rejected its Pebble Project permit application under the Clean Water Act, finding the project "is not in the public interest." This news drove the price of Northern Dynasty lower again.

"We're focused on, among other things, investor losses and proving that Northern Dynasty and its senior management intentionally misled investors and manipulated the permitting process to achieve personal compensation for having done so," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Hudbay Reaches a Mutually Agreed Settlement in Longstanding Civil Lawsuits Related to Former Guatemala Operations

Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("Hudbay" or the "company") (TSX, NYSE: HBM) today announced that it has reached a final settlement with all plaintiffs in three civil lawsuits brought against the company regarding alleged actions that occurred in Guatemala in 2007 and 2009. This settlement concludes all outstanding legal matters related to Hudbay's former activities in Guatemala. Hudbay was named in the civil suits because of its ownership of the Fenix nickel project, which was acquired in 2008. In one of the lawsuits, brought by 11 female plaintiffs, the allegations against the Guatemalan company that owns the project predate Hudbay's ownership. In 2011, Hudbay divested itself of its holdings in Guatemala and has had no operations there since that time.

Northern Queensland’s Rich Copper Resource

Copper is a versatile metal that has a long list of commercial and industrial uses. Australia has 11 percent of world reserves of copper and the state of Queensland, particularly its northern region, produces more than 20 percent of Australia’s copper output. This high-quality copper is refined to 99.99 percent purity.

As electrification and decarbonization efforts ramp up around the world, Northern Queensland and its rich deposits and well-developed mining infrastructure will continue to be a copper hub. Government programs to bolster copper mining, smelting and refining will support the industry even further.

Copper is considered a critical mineral by many jurisdictions around the world as it’s an essential component in green energy products and infrastructure. Demand for copper is expected to double by 2050, which is triggering investments in copper at all levels of the supply chain worldwide.

5 Best-performing ASX Copper Stocks of 2024

Copper has performed well in the last four years. Most recently, after setbacks at the start of the year, its fortune began to turn and it reached record highs in May.

Prices hit an all-time high on the COMEX of US$5.20 per pound, or US$11,464 per tonne, on May 20 on tightening supply and increasing demand from the transition to renewable energy. In the longer term, many market watchers see low supply and higher usage from sectors like the electric vehicle industry creating a robust outlook.

Although prices for the red metal slid back to the US$4 per pound, or US$8,800 per tonne, level by early August, copper is once again on the rise. There is hope on the horizon of a boost to the global economic economy after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time in more than four years, and China has put forth a series of economic support measures.
