The Founder’s Group
A Superior Vision for Alexandria Minerals
The Founder’s Group of Alexandria Minerals Corporation have striven to treat shareholders with respect and dignity by presenting their vision of the future in a professional manner – conspicuously avoiding the personal attacks favoured by board members Peter Gundy, Walter Henry and Gary O’Connor (“Affected Board”). But it is time the disrespect of shareholders is revealed. All shareholders should vote for the Founder’s Group (YELLOW ballot).
Even if you have already voted, VOTE AGAIN! Your last vote is the vote that counts.

Who We Are
The Founder’s Group was formed by a collection of concerned shareholders of Alexandria Minerals. The Group believes in Alexandria Minerals' incredible potential to grow shareholder value, if armed with the right strategic plan. Eric Owens' superior vision for the company is the foundation of the Founder's Groups' efforts to grow shareholder value, which stands in stark contrast to the current board’s lack of direction. Shareholders wanting to see value maximized should support Eric's shareholder proposal.
Eric Owens
Eric Owens is a founder, director and the former Chief Executive Officer of Alexandria. Together with his management team, Eric has been working to build Alexandria to this critical point for several years. His long-term commitment to the success of Alexandria Minerals speaks to his credibility and commitment to the company. His persistence and ability to raise financing for Alexandria’s future makes him the best person to lead the organization going forward.
Our Proposal
- The Founder’s Group supports Eric Owens' proposal to elect three highly-qualified and experienced candidates to the Alexandria Minerals board. These three respected professionals share Eric’s superior vision for Alexandria and are committed to maximizing shareholder value.
- Eric's long-term commitment to the success of Alexandria Minerals speaks to his credibility and commitment to the company. His persistence and ability to raise financing for Alexandria’s future make him the best person to lead the organization going forward.
- Alexandria’s Val d’Or, QC, site has enormous potential and the current board’s lack of vision risks undervaluing the asset on behalf of shareholders. It is one of the largest properties in a region – perched directly over the famed Cadillac break – an area that has proven lucrative for similar companies. Eric’s plan for financing further exploration of the property through an aggressive drilling program represents the best opportunity for maximizing value on behalf of shareholders.
- Eric’s superior vision and plan for the company stands in stark contrast to the current board’s lack of direction. Shareholders deserve to see the Founder’s Groups three board nominees appointed at the July 24th special meeting of shareholders to ensure Mr. Owens’ strategic vision is adopted and implemented in order to maximize shareholder value.
Vote For
As shareholders we have a right to expect a board of directors that works on our behalf; that has our collective interests in mind; that has a vision for the company that extends beyond a quick flip. Each of the nominees below is respected in their profession, experienced in governance and committed to Eric’s superior vision of Alexandria Minerals. We are asking you to vote for the removal of the board members who have failed to show vision for, and belief in, Alexandria Minerals and to vote for these three highly qualified Founder’s Group nominees:
Chris Hopkins
Mr. Hopkins has over 30 years of financial management experience in the resources industry. He has spent most of his career in senior roles with public mining companies, including Kerr Mines Inc, U.S. Silver, Rio Algom, BHP Billiton, Suncor and several Canadian and international junior mining companies. He has broad junior resource experience in the areas of corporate finance, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, investor relations, financial and management reporting. He has a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Toronto, and a Chartered Accountant designation and MBA from the Schulich School of Business at York University.
Ian Mellon
Mr. Mellon has been in the U.S. and Canadian capital markets business since 1975, beginning with Gordon Securities in Toronto and Johnson Lane in Atlanta. During the 1990’s, Mr. Mellon became head of institutional equity sales at Scotia McLeod, and followed with sales positions at Nesbitt Burns, Blackmont Capital and PI Financial. Mr. Mellon has a BA degree in American History and Economics from Western University
Colin SutherLand
