BENSALEM, Pa. (Business Wire) -- Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has
been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York on behalf of a class (the "Class") comprising all purchasers
of the securities of Pretium Resources, Inc. ("Pretium" or the
"Company") (NYSE:PVG) between January 19, 2011, and October 21, 2013,
inclusive (the "Class Period").




Pretium engages in the acquisition, exploration and development of
precious metal resource properties in the Americas. One of the Company's
main mineral resource projects is an advanced stage gold-silver
exploration project focused on exploration of mineral reserves in the
Valley of Kings ("VOK") zone in northwestern British Columbia. Pretium
engaged Strathcona Mineral Services Ltd. as independent "Qualified
Persons" to oversee the Valley of the Kings bulk
sample program and prepare a report at the conclusion of the project
concerning mineral resource estimates.




The Complaint alleges that the defendants misrepresented or failed to
disclose that:



The mineral resources, potential mineral reserves and potential gold
production in the VOK zone were exaggerated.


The Company's sampling methodology for the Valley of the Kings Bulk
Sample Program was unreliable and misleading.





On October 22, 2013, Pretium announced the withdrawal of Strathcona from
the Valley of the Kings Bulk Sample Program before any results from the
processing of the bulk sample were available. According to the Company,
Strathcona also advised Pretium that statements included in all recent
press releases by Pretium about probable mineral reserves and future
gold production from the Valley of the Kings zone over a 22-year mine
life are "erroneous and misleading."




If you are a member of the Class described above you may move the Court
no later than December 24, 2013 to serve as lead plaintiff; however, you
must 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. If
have any questions concerning this Notice or your rights or interests
with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire,
