In October 2011, Primero Empresa Minera, S.A. de C.V.

("Silver Wheaton").  On October 5, 2012, the Primero announced that SAT's ruling was positive.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, prospects and performance. Specifically, during the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PEM was improperly logging revenues and taxes from sales under its silver purchase agreement between Primero and Silver Wheaton; and (2) as a result of the previous, the Primero's public statements were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
