The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of all those who purchased Asanko securities between October 24, 2014 and May 31, 2017 (the "Class Period"). The case, Sumethasorn v. Asanko Gold Inc. et al, No. 1:17-cv-03280 was filed on May 31, 2017.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the Company's Mineral Resource Estimates are flawed; (2) some of the Company's resources models show signs that they have been "smeared," which would cause estimates of their ore contents to be inflated; and (3) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading.

Specifically, on May 31, 2017, investment research firm Muddy Waters, LLC published a report on Asanko asserting, among other things, that: (1) Asanko made investments based on flawed geology in Nkran, its satellite pits, and Esaase that Muddy Waters believes "will never be recovered"; and (2) there are indications that some of Asanko's resources models have been "smeared," which would cause estimates of their ore contents to be inflated.
