Pershing Resources Appoints Harvey McKenzie to Board of Directors

As it happens, the company was actually in the news on Monday after it announced that Harvey McKenzie will be joining the board of directors at Pershing Resource from January 1 next year. The appointment of a new board member is almost always significant news but that did not do much to arrest the slide in the Pershing stock.

In this regard, it is also necessary to keep in mind that McKenzie had been a part of the advisory board at Pershing prior to this appointment. On the other hand, investors also need to keep in mind that he is also going to be a part of the Audit Committee at the company. McKenzie is a qualified CFA-CA and investors are expected to keep an eye on how the stock performs in the coming days.

Key Quote

Pershing Resources’ CEO Steve Plumb stated, “We would like to thank Steve Savran for his many years of service to the Company as a board member and a significant investor and we wish him well. We now welcome Harvey McKenzie to our Board. Harvey’s contributions while on our Advisory Board have been very helpful to our progress. We look forward to working closely with him as we advance the Company through the next phase of our corporate development plan.”
