Item 1. Exchange Act Reporting History
Golden Oasis Exploration Corp. (the “Company”) filed its registration statement on Form 20-F on September 19, 2007 and incurred the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) on November 27, 2007.
The Company has filed 6Ks on a monthly basis from November 2007 to the final quarterly statements prior to amalgamation for the period ended October 31, 2008. The Company has also filed the Annual Report for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2007.
Item 2. Recent United States Market Activity
The Company has not conducted any registered offerings of securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Item 3. Foreign Listing and Primary Trading Market
Since February 28, 2006, the Company’s common stock has been listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange, which constitutes the primary trading market of the Company’s securities. The Company (pre and post-amalgamation) has maintained its listing of its Common Stock on the TSX Venture Exchange for at least 12 months preceding the filing of the Form 15F. All of the Company’s trading of its Common Stock occurs on the TSX-Venture Exchange.
Item 4. Comparative Trading Volume Data
The 12-month period relied upon commenced on January 30, 2008 and includes January 30, 2009 as the last day (the “12-month period”), followed by a further period of 12 months commencing on February 2, 2009 to January 30, 2010 (the “Amalgamation Period”) being the trading period since the Company’s amalgamation. For the 12-month period, the average daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock was 13,910 shares on a worldwide basis. For the Amalgamation Period, the average daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock was 134,820 shares on a worldwide basis. The Company’s Common Stock is only traded on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company’s Common Stock has never been publicly traded in the United States on a national securities exchange or inter dealer quotation system. Accordingly, for both the 12-month period and the Amalgamation Period, the average daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock in the United States was 0% of the average daily trading volume on a worldwide basis. The Company used the TSX Venture Exchange, Daily Trading History Summary to determine the trading volume information provided herein. In conjunction with the closing of the amalgamation of the Company with American Copper Corporation and Lebon Gold Mines Limited on January 30, 2009, the Company’s common shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and commenced trading under the amalgamated company on the same Exchange. The Company has never delisted the Common Stock from a national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system in the United States. The Company has never established and terminated a sponsored American depository receipt facility resending its Common Stock.
