In recent months, Barrick's share price have continuously tumbled to its current price of under $15/share, down from over $40/share last October. While there are many factors that have contributed to this sudden fall, much of it can be attributed to bad management, high debt, and fraudulent activity on the part of Barrick Gold. In fact, Barrick�s own shareholders have announced a class-action against the company for making �false and misleading statements and concealing material information relating to the cost of and time-to-production projections of the company�s Pascua-Lama project". (note: there are over eight law firms pursuing this case.)
