SAN DIEGO, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP is investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws by Piedmont Lithium Inc. ("Piedmont" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PLL).

On July 20, 2021, Reuters reported that Piedmont hired investment banks to find investors for an $840 million project in Gaston County, North Carolina, including an open-air pit to produce lithium-based electric vehicle battery chemicals. According to the news release, the Company has not applied for a state mining permit or a required zoning variance in Gaston County, despite telling investors since 2018 that it was on the verge of doing so.
