According to a recently filed lawsuit, Piedmont misrepresented and concealed material information concerning Piedmont's progress toward obtaining necessary permits and zoning variances to build a large lithium mine in Gaston County, North Carolina. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose that Piedmont: (1) had not secured all proper and necessary permits, (2) did not inform relevant government authorities of its actual plans, (3) did not file proper applications with state and local authorities, and (4) did not have "strong local government support."

On July 20, 2021, investors began to learn the truth when Reuters published a report indicating that Piedmont had not even applied for the necessary mining permit or zoning variances, and that five of the seven members of the Gaston County's board of commissioners were likely to block or delay the project because, among other things, Piedmont had not informed them of the environmental impact of the project. On this news, Piedmont shares fell $12.56 per share over the trading day, or nearly 20%, injuring investors.
