Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GG) securities between March 31, 2014 and August 24, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Goldcorp investors have until October 24, 2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Goldcorp investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to [e-mail].

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) levels of the mineral selenium rose in one groundwater monitoring well near the Peñasquito Mine as early as October 2013; (2) 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; (3) in August 2016, Goldcorp told Mexican regulators that contaminated water had also been found in other areas near the Peñasquito Mine; and (4) consequently, the company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

If you purchased shares of Goldcorp during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than October 24, 2016 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
