Associated Press6 hours ago

LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2025 / Pantheon Resources plc (AIM:PANR) ('Pantheon' or the 'Company'), an oil and gas company developing the Kodiak and Ahpun oil fields in close proximity to pipeline and transportation infrastructure on Alaska's North Slope, is pleased to announce the following appointments to the Executive Team to complete the next phase of its strategic plan-transitioning to development and production and listing on a senior US exchange.
Appointment of Tralisa Maraj as Chief Financial Officer
Tralisa Maraj has been appointed Chief Financial Officer ('CFO'), succeeding Phil Patman. Tralisa's appointment will be effective 14 July, 2025.
In her role as CFO, Tralisa will lead the Finance Team to complete the transformation of Pantheon from a pre-revenue AIM-listed enterprise to a material Alaska North Slope producer listed on a senior U.S. exchange. She brings with her more than 25 years of experience, including having previously been the CFO of two publicly listed companies.
Tralisa's career began at Price Waterhouse Coopers in Trinidad. Having established herself as a Finance Executive, she became corporate controller at Remora Oil and Gas, followed by her appointment as CFO for Canadian-listed CGX Energy, and most recently, as CFO of the US-listed LiveWire Group Inc.
Tralisa is a chartered accountant (UK) and licensed CPA in Texas.
Appointment of Erich Krumanocker as Chief Development Officer
Erich Krumanocker has been appointed Chief Development Officer ('CDO'), succeeding Bob Rosenthal, to spearhead the Company's subsurface technical leadership. Bob has indicated his desire to step down from the Board of Directors and retire from the Company at the conclusion of the Company's upcoming board meeting on 13 June, 2025.
In his role as CDO, Erich will manage the transition of projects from exploration and appraisal through to development and production. Erich brings with him over 25 years of global experience in driving development, operations and project execution at scale across multiple continents.
Erich's career originated as a Petroleum Engineer with BP plc on the North Slope of Alaska, with vast experience in the North Sea, Azerbaijan and the U.S., with his BP career culminating as a VP of Production and Operations. Erich joins Pantheon most recently from Microsoft, where he served as a Partner leading digital transformation across the manufacturing and energy sectors.
Max Easley, Chief Executive Officer, commented: 'We are delighted to welcome Tralisa and Erich to the Pantheon Executive Team. They will be key in enacting our pivot from a world-class exploration and appraisal team to an equally successful development and operations team. Pantheon will benefit from a combined 50 years of international experience between the two. I also want to thank Phil Patman for his efforts in delivering a strong financial platform for growth through this transition and an ultimate US listing.'
David Hobbs, Pantheon's Chairman, added: 'I would like to add my welcome to Tralisa and Erich. In addition, I also want to express my personal gratitude to Bob Rosenthal, who has been a key member of the leadership of the Company. He was a founder of Pantheon some 20 years ago, then became a founder of Great Bear a few years later. Bob returned to Pantheon 7 years ago to help with the acquisition of Great Bear and then lead the technical team through the journey of discovering and appraising the Ahpun and Kodiak fields to demonstrate the potential for resources that are now independently certified at some 1.6 billion barrels of ANS Crude and 6.6 tcf of natural gas. His leadership has helped position the Company to be a significant part of Alaska's energy future.'
Further information on these appointments:
As part of these appointments, and to align with other executives and the wider interests of shareholders, the new executives will receive the following:
The Company expects to grant these awards as soon as administratively and regulatorily practicable. An additional announcement, including further details of their terms, will be made once they are awarded.

About Pantheon Resources
Pantheon Resources plc is an AIM-listed Oil & Gas company focused on developing its 100% owned Ahpun and Kodiak fields located on State of Alaska land on the North Slope, onshore USA. Independently certified best estimate contingent recoverable resources attributable to these projects currently total c. 1.6 billion barrels of ANS crude and 6.6 Tcf (trillion cubic feet) of associated natural gas. The Company owns 100% working interest in c. 259,000 acres.
Pantheon's stated objective is to demonstrate sustainable market recognition of a value of $5-$10/bbl of recoverable resources by end 2028. This is based on bringing the Ahpun field forward to FID and producing into the TAPS main oil line (ANS crude) by the end of 2028. The Gas Sales Precedent Agreement signed with AGDC (Alaska Gasline Development Corporation) provides the potential for Pantheon's natural gas to be produced into the proposed 807-mile pipeline from the North Slope to Southcentral Alaska during 2029. Once the Company achieves financial self-sufficiency, it will apply the resultant cashflows to support the FID on the Kodiak field planned, subject to regulatory approvals, targeted by the end of 2028 or early 2029.
A major differentiator to other ANS projects is the close proximity to existing roads and pipelines which offers a significant competitive advantage to Pantheon, allowing for shorter development timeframes, materially lower infrastructure costs and the ability to support the development with a significantly lower pre-cashflow funding requirement than is typical in Alaska. Furthermore, the low CO2 content of the associated gas allows export into the planned natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to Southcentral Alaska without significant pre-treatment.
The Company's project portfolio has been endorsed by world-renowned experts. Netherland, Sewell & Associates estimate a 2C contingent recoverable resource in the Kodiak project that total 1,208 mmbbl (million barrels) of ANS crude and 5,396 bcf (billion cubic feet) of natural gas. Cawley Gillespie & Associates estimate 2C contingent recoverable resources for Ahpun's western topset horizons at 282 mmbbl of ANS crude and 803 bcf of natural gas. Lee Keeling & Associates estimated possible reserves and 2C contingent recoverable resources totalling 79 mmbbl of ANS crude and 424 bcf natural gas.

Qualcomm to acquire semiconductor firm Alphawave Semi for $2.4B

In Brief Qualcomm has agreed to acquire Alphawave Semi, a U.K.-based semiconductor company focused on high-speed data center connectivity, for around $2.4 billion. According to Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon, the deal will help Qualcomm grow its data center business. 'The combined teams share the goal of building advanced technology solutions and enabling next-level connected computing performance across a wide array of high-growth areas, including data center infrastructure,' Amon said in a press release. Qualcomm's acquisition of Alphawave, which makes a range of wired connectivity and compute technologies, comes a few months after the bigger chip company bought the generative AI division of Vietnamese startup VinAI, as well as internet of things company Edge Impulse. Qualcomm has sought to diversify its portfolio as it faces headwinds, including a weakening smartphone market — smartphone processors make up a big portion of Qualcomm's revenue — and potentially tariffs. The deal is expected to close during the first calendar quarter of 2026.

IonQ to Acquire Oxford Ionics in $1.075 Billion Deal to Push Quantum Boundaries

You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. IonQ has announced it will acquire Oxford Ionics in a deal valued at $1.075 billion, combining two leaders in quantum computing technology to accelerate the race toward large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum systems. The agreement, which includes $1.065 billion in IonQ common stock and roughly $10 million in cash, is expected to bolster IonQ's roadmap to 2 million physical qubits by 2030. The acquisition brings together IonQ's end-to-end quantum computing and networking stack with Oxford Ionics' precision ion-trap technology built on standard semiconductor chips. Oxford Ionics currently holds world records for fidelity, a key benchmark of quantum operation accuracy, and is known for integrating high-performance quantum operations with scalable chip-based manufacturing. "IonQ's vision has always been to drive real-world impact in every era and year of quantum computing's growth," said IonQ CEO Niccolo de Masi. "Today's announcement of our intention to acquire Oxford Ionics accelerates our mission to full fault-tolerant quantum computers with 2 million physical qubits and 80,000 logical qubits by 2030." The combined company anticipates developing systems with 256 physical qubits at 99.99 per cent accuracy by 2026, scaling to over 10,000 qubits with logical accuracy of 99.99999 per cent the following year. By leveraging both firms' core capabilities, IonQ aims to set a new benchmark in computational power, while advancing the commercial viability of quantum systems. Oxford Ionics' leadership and technical teams are set to remain with IonQ post-acquisition. Founders Dr. Chris Ballance and Dr. Tom Harty will continue leading development efforts in the UK. "We're tremendously excited to work alongside the world-class quantum computing and networking teams at IonQ," said Ballance. "We have not only pioneered the most accurate quantum platform on the market – we have also engineered a quantum chip capable of being manufactured in standard semiconductor fabs." IonQ emphasized that existing partnerships in both the U.S. and UK will remain intact. The company also plans to deepen its involvement with the UK's National Quantum Computing Centre and government-led quantum programs supporting defense, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing sectors. The deal follows IonQ's earlier acquisitions of Lightsynq and the pending purchase of Capella, marking a clear strategy to consolidate core technologies and talent as the company seeks to lead a market that, according to Boston Consulting Group, could generate up to $850 billion in global economic value by 2040.
