Why SolGold Shares Were Muted After Appointing a CEO and CFO

The SolGold plc (LON: SOLG) share price barely moved after the appointment of a new CEO and CFO. Investors barely reacted to the news primarily because the new CEO is familiar since he had been acting CEO following the resignation of his predecessor Darryl Cuzzubbo in November 2022.
