The Class Action

In 2012, a proposed class action was commenced against Nevsun Resources Ltd. (“Nevsun”) and certain others.  The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants knew, or ought to have known, that the stated gold reserves at the Bisha mine were materially overstated.

On October 6, 2014, Justice Gates of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved the settlement.  A copy of the settlement agreement, the approval order, the plan of allocation and other court-approved documents, may be downloaded from the Documents page of this website.
