Q&A with CEO Darren Hazelwood from Panther Metals

Recent high grades from the tailings pond at Panther Metals' Winston project in Canada have clearly signposted a way for the company to secure early cashflow, and funding for a re-start of the mine. The plan, as chief executive Darren Hazelwood tells us in this exclusive interview, is to finance the construction of a tailings re-treatment plant ideally through debt, and then to use the huge potential revenue that such a project will generate to take the company on to the next steps. In the near-term, more metallurgical work is needed. But the direction of travel is clear, and Panther has lately demonstrated an ability to move very quickly when it so chooses.
