Josh - please treat this email thread with the seriousness it demands. Bison Interests is a regulated entity. You have 12 hours from the time of this tweet to correct the record otherwise I will be filing a formal complaint with the SEC. 1/
This is not a threat. This is a guarantee.
On Sept 20th this year you tweeted the following: "Directors selling millions of shares of Pantheon Resources stock, and then being "awarded" the same amount of shares. Not a good look. Not involved, no recommendation. $panr" 2/
You then attached a document which appears to be an excerpt of the $panr RNS dated 20/9/22.

To $panr shareholders. This bear raid *appears* to be co-ordinated. Either Alex has retained a private investigator or someone else has. That doesn't happen overnight. Either way, he elected to tweet it out (despite being advised it was a fraud). 15/ #panr $pthrf

More generally to all readers of this thread. Pantheon Great Bear has been active in Alaska for 12 years. In that time they have invested $300m in Alaska, of which $80m was invested to shoot the largest 3D seismic study in the state. In that period, $panr has...19/ #panr $pthrf

The $panr BoD and external consultants have been fully transparent with shareholders and the market. There are hours and hours of webinars, freely available on YouTube. @josh_young_ has publicly alleged that O&G experts aren't on the #panr register. /24
Factually incorrect. The register is packed with a multitude of O&G professionals. That Josh doesn't know any of them belies his lack of research.

Some commentators have questioned how $panr can be valued at c.$700m if it hasn't produced a barrel of commercial oil. It's a fair question. The traditional method of valuing E&P companies is to use a risked/unrisked model. The company has asserted it has achieved...30/ #panr

Proof of commercial flow rates will blow your short out of the water as the market immediately re-rates the risk factor. Good news is there's not too long to wait for the data from Alkaid-2!
