Investor Alert: Holzer Holzer & Fistel, LLC Filed a Class Action Against Pretium Resources, Inc.; Investors With Significant Losses Encouraged to Inquire About Lead Plaintiff Position

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Oct 31, 2013) - Holzer Holzer & Fistel, LLC announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who purchased Pretium Resources Inc. ("Pretium" or the "Company") (NYSE: PVG) common stock between January 19, 2011 and October 24, 2013. The complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges that a series of statements made during that time regarding Pretium's business, operations and prospects were false and misleading. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Pretium misrepresented and failed to adequately disclose that: (a) the Company had not acquired credible evidence demonstrating the quantity or quality of gold reserve estimates it claimed during the Class Period; (b) one of the firms Pretium had hired to provide independent analysis of the quantity and quality of the gold reserves at its all-important Brucejack Project during the Class Period, Snowden Mining Industry Consultants ("Snowden"), was not using a reliable methodology to evaluate its gold reserve estimates; (c) Snowden and Strathcona Mineral Services Ltd. ("Strathcona") -- one of Canada's most highly-regarded teams of geologists, and one of the two firms the Company had hired to evaluate the quality of its gold reserves at Brucejack (along with Snowden) -- did not agree on the methodology to be used to evaluate Pretium's gold reserve estimates; (d) contrary to Pretium's statements during the Class Period, its 2012 Mineral Resource estimates prepared by Snowden did not accurately classify the mineral resources present as Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources; and (e) as a result of the foregoing, Pretium's gold estimates reported during the Class Period were not as reliable it had led the market to believe.
