Goldman Scarlato Karon & Penny, P.C. (the “Firm”) has begun an investigation into Allied Nevada Gold Corp. (NYSE MKT: ANV) to determine whether Allied Nevada violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the state of its operations and improperly concealing that certain equipment crucial to the its mining efforts suffered from serious, ongoing defects and deficiencies between January 18, 2013 and August 5, 2013, inclusive.

On April 30, 2013, Allied Nevada announced disappointing results for the first quarter of 2013, attributing the miss to inclement weather and rising input costs. It also revealed that previously announced plans to expand operations at its sole operating property, the Hycroft Mine in Nevada, would be revised to take effect in phases. In addition, it announced that it would sell 14 million shares of common stock to investors through a secondary public offering to fund capital expenditures at the Hycroft Mine and for other corporate purposes.

Then, on August 6, 2013, Allied Nevada announced that it would defer construction at the Hycroft Mine expansion project due to operating defects in the infrastructure, which would require costly remedies. Allied Nevada attributed the decision to halt the project to the discovery in May and June 2013 of poor operational decisions made in late 2012 and early 2013.

Allied Nevada’s stock price fell sharply in connection with each of these revelations, causing shareholders to incur significant losses.
