Donna-Belen Humphreys looks to be a useful addition to the board of Panther Metals, as it continues to advance its portfolio of Canadian exploration and development assets. The company’s shares are trading at just about double where they were a year ago, so real momentum has been built. The trick now will be to turn that momentum into lasting value.
