The Board of Directors of K2 Gold Corporation announced, the sudden death of one of its directors, Gary Freeman. Gary was prolific venture capital financier and company builder, and contributed to the success of many Canadian listed issuers. He was a promoter in the very best sense of the word, and was known for his unique brand of charm and sense of humour. Notably, he was the founder, and President and Chief Executive Officer of Ethos Gold Corp., and was formerly the President and Chief Executive Officer of Pediment Gold Corp. from 2005 to 2011, raising funding and executing on various exploration campaigns, leading to the discovery of the San Antonio deposit, the purchase of the La Colorada mine, and the sale of Pediment to Argonaut Gold Inc. for approximately $140 million.
