Pantheon Resources PLC (AIM:PANR, OTCQX:PTHRF) has appointed Marty Rutherford to its board, as a non-executive director, as it seeks to advance its projects in Alaska.
Rutherford has held several senior policy roles in Alaska, including multiple terms as deputy commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources. She also served as acting commissioner and was a trustee of the Alaska Permanent Fund.
"We are delighted to welcome Marty Rutherford as a member of the board of directors,” said executive chair David Hobbs.
“Pantheon will benefit from her more than 40 years of experience in policy roles, particularly her time in the DNR working to advance the construction of a gas pipeline for the commercialisation of Alaska's North Slope gas.
“Her deep expertise, coupled with strategic judgment and policy track record, makes her the ideal addition to our board."
Rutherford, meanwhile, commented: “I am delighted to have the opportunity to join the board of Pantheon as it faces critical decisions on developing its resources for the benefit of both shareholders and Alaskan stakeholders.
“It will be especially exciting to help bring the dream of a gas pipeline from Alaska's North Slope to fruition."
