Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Reminds Investors Of Upcoming April 3, 2012 Lead Plaintiff Deadline

NEW YORK, Feb. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors of the impending lead plaintiff deadline for the class action lawsuit against Molycorp, Inc. ("Molycorp" or the "Company") (NYSE: MCP).

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that:  (1) Molycorp's efforts to expand the Company's Mountain Pass mine were behind schedule; (2) the Company would fail to reach projected rare earth oxide production rates by the end of calendar year 2012 or 2013; and (3) end-user customers have been reducing their demand for Molycorp's products as prices for rare earth elements have increased.

On November 10, 2011, the Company reported disappointing third quarter 2011 revenues and earnings results below analysts' estimates. Moreover, Molycorp announced a reduction in Mountain Pass production guidance for the fourth quarter of 2011 due to expected equipment downtime relating to the site's engineering and expansion issues.  In response to this disappointing news, Molycorp's stock price dropped from $38.70 per share on November 10, 2011 to $33.45 per share on November 11, 2011, or 13.6%, on heavy trading volume.
