(TSXV: GOT) (“Golden Oasis”) (collectively, the “Companies”)announce that they have agreed on the generalterms of a Plan of Arrangement whereby American Copper proposes to complete a share exchange with Lebon and Golden Oasis, subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and shareholder approval.  

Lebon is a public company listed on the CNQ under the symbol “LBO”, and is currently investigating opportunities in both the resource and non-resource sectors.  Golden Oasis is a public company listed on the Exchange under the symbol “GOT”, and currently explores for gold, focusing on developing mineral assets in Nevada and Washington.  American Copper is a public company listed on the Exchange under the symbol “AJ”, and currently explores for copper in its properties in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.   The Companies share common directors and officers and are reporting issuers in Canada.  Full details of their business and operations can be found on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Under the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, the respective Boards of Directors of the Companies have agreed that American Copper will, subject to any subsequent adjustment, acquire all of the shares of Lebon and Golden Oasis by issuing common shares in its capital (“AJ Shares”) to:

(i)

the shareholders of Lebon on the basis of one AJ Share for every one common share of Lebon currently issued and outstanding (total current issued and outstanding is 13,824,277); and

(ii)

the shareholders of Golden Oasis on the basis of one AJ Share for every one common share of Golden Oasis currently issued and outstanding (20,354,417).

In addition American Copper will issue to the holders of share purchase warrants and broker’s warrants of each of Lebon and Golden Oasis, replacement warrants on the same ratios as stated above, at such exercise prices as will be negotiated.  

As a result, American Copper will have a total of 53,214,695 common shares outstanding, (57,428,749 shares on a fully diluted basis).

Certain of the AJ Shares will be subject to such continuing escrow requirements as previously existed or as may be imposed by the Exchange.
