PASSING OF MR. WAYNE O'CONNOR; ADVISOR TO THE COMPANY
It is with great sadness that Balmoral reports the passing of Mr. Wayne O'Connor, a member of the Company's Board of Advisors. Mr. O'Connor was a trusted advisor and friend to the Company. His enthusiasm, market experience and savvy will be missed greatly by all. The management and staff of Balmoral pass along their most sincere condolences to Mrs. O'Connor and the entire O'Connor family.
Prior to joining Balmoral as an Advisor, Mr. O'Connor served as Chairman of West Timmins Mining through its successful merger with Lake Shore Gold, and as President and CEO of Band-Ore Resources, a predecessor to West Timmins. It was during his tenure as President of Band-Ore that Band-Ore acquired the properties in the West Timmins District in Ontario that host the Golden River and Thunder Creek gold deposits, which are now being developed by Lake Shore Gold.
Mr. O'Connor was a staunch supporter of the Canadian exploration industry and will be remembered for his unwavering enthusiasm for the exploration business, his passion for life and the pride he felt for his children and grandchildren.
Mr. O'Connor passed away on Thursday, June 2, 2011 in Burlington, Ontario. The family has requested that donations on his behalf be made either to the Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital Foundation or to the Canadian Cancer Society.
