INFORMATION CIRCULAR

as at June 30, 2004


This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Alpha Gold Corp. (the “Company”) for use at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of its shareholders to be held on August 16, 2004 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the Meeting.


G E N E R A L    P R O X Y    I N F O R M A T I O N

Solicitation of Proxies


The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the voting common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”) held of record by such persons and the Company may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in so doing. All costs of this solicitation will be borne by the Company.

Appointment of Proxyholders


The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy are officers of the Company. A shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting has the right to appoint a person or company, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act for the shareholder and on the shareholder’s behalf at the Meeting other than either the persons or company designated in the accompanying form of proxy, and may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the accompanying form of proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

A proxy will not be valid unless the completed, signed and dated form of proxy is delivered to the office of Pacific Corporate Trust Company, by mail or by hand 10th Floor, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B8 not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used.]

Revocation of Proxies


In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by either executing a proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the shareholder or the shareholder’s authorized attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by depositing the proxy bearing a later date with Pacific Corporate Trust Company or at the address of the registered office of the Company at 1500 Royal Centre, P.O. Box 11117, 1055 West Geogia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4N7, at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law. In addition, a proxy may be revoked by the shareholder personally attending the Meeting and voting the shareholder’s Shares. A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.



                                      

 Voting by Proxyholder


On a poll the nominees named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Shares represented thereby in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for. If the shareholder has specified a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly. The proxy will confer discretionary authority on the nominees named therein with respect to:


(a)

each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors,

(b)

any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein, and

(c)

any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.


In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the proxy, the nominees named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote Shares represented by the proxy at their own discretion for the approval of such matter.

Proxy Voting Options

Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered shareholders may vote by proxy as follows: by mail or fax, by telephone or over the internet.

Submitting a proxy by mail or fax or over the internet are the only methods by which a shareholder may appoint a person as proxy other than a director or officer of the Company named on the form of proxy.

Mail or Fax

Registered shareholders electing to submit a proxy must complete, date and sign the form of proxy. It must then be returned to the Company’s transfer agent, Pacific Corporate Trust Company, by fax 604-689-8144, by mail or by hand at its office at 10th Floor, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6C 3B8, no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the date of the Meeting or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting prior to 10:00 a.m. on August 16, 2004.

Telephone

The option to submit a proxy by telephone is offered only in Canada and in the United States. Registered shareholders electing to submit a proxy by telephone require a touchtone telephone. The telephone number to call is 1-888-835-8683. Shareholders must follow the instructions, use the form of proxy received from the Company and provide the I.D. and Code numbers located beside your name on the proxy form on the lower left-hand side. If the I.D. and Code numbers are not on the proxy, they will be on the back of the flyer enclosed with this material. Instructions are then conveyed by use of the touchtone selections over the telephone.

Internet

Registered shareholders electing to submit a proxy over the internet must access the website: http://www.pctc.com/webvote.htm.


Registered shareholders must then follow the instructions and refer to the proxy form received from the Company which contains the I.D. and Code numbers, located on the proxy form. Voting instructions are then conveyed electronically the shareholder and the internet.

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders of the Company, as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as “Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in

 

almost all cases those Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depositary Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Shares are communicated to the appropriate person.


Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communication Services (“ADP”) in the United States and in Canada. ADP typically applies a special sticker to proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and requests the Beneficial Shareholders to return the proxy forms to ADP. ADP then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving an ADP proxy cannot use that proxy to vote Shares directly at the Meeting - the proxy must be returned to ADP, as the case may be, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Shares voted.


Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting.

Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders may request in writing that their broker send to them a legal proxy which would enable them to attend at the Meeting and vote their Shares.


Voting Securities and Principal Shareholders of Voting Securities


The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed July 13, 2004 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determination of persons entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attend the Meeting personally or complete, sign and deliver a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above will be entitled to vote or to have their Shares voted at the Meeting.


As of June 30, 2004, the Company had outstanding 23,402,184 fully paid and non-assessable Shares without par value, each carrying the right to one vote. No group of shareholders has the right to elect a specified number of directors, nor are there cumulative or similar voting rights attached to the Shares.


To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, no person or corporation beneficially owned, directly or indirectly or exercised control or direction over, Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Shares of the Company as June 30, 2004. The above information was supplied by the Company.


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended February 28, 2004 and the report of the auditor thereof will be placed before the Meeting. The audited financial statements and the report of

the auditor were mailed to shareholders with the Notice of Meeting and the Information Circular. Additional copies may be obtained from www.SEDAR.com or from the Secretary of the Company upon request. Copies will also be available at the Meeting.


ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The size of the board of directors of the Company is currently determined at five. The board proposes that the number of directors remain at five. Shareholders will therefore be asked to approve an ordinary resolution that the number of directors elected be fixed at five.

The term of office of each of the current directors will end at the conclusion of the Meeting. Unless the director’s office is earlier vacated in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCA”), each director elected will hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or if no director is then elected, until a successor is elected.

The following table sets out the names of management’s five nominees for election as directors, all major offices and positions with the Company and any of its significant affiliates each now holds, each nominee’s principal occupation, business or employment, the period of time during which each has been a director of the Company and the number of Shares of the Company beneficially owned by each, directly or indirectly, or over which each exercised control or direction, as at June 30, 2004.

Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions

An informed person is one who generally speaking is a director or executive officer or a 10% shareholder of the Company. To the knowledge of management of the Company, no informed person or nominee for election as a director of the Company had any interest in any material transaction during the year ended

February 29, 2004, or has any interest in any material transaction in the current year other than as set out herein.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

None of the directors or executive officers of the Company, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year end of the Company, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than the election of directors, the appointment of auditors and as set out herein.

Management Contracts

Except as set out herein, there are no management functions of the Company which are to any substantial degree performed by a person or company other than the directors or senior officers of the Company.
