Tara Gold Provides Update on Registration
CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 10/14/10 -- Tara Gold Resources Corp. (PINKSHEETS: TRGD) (FRANKFURT: T8N) is pleased to provide the following update.
On May 6, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission temporarily suspended trading in Tara Gold's securities due to the failure of Tara Gold to file its 10-Q and 10-K reports pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On the same day the Commission issued an Order Instituting Proceedings whereby the Commission sought to revoke Tara Gold's registration of its common stock pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act.
On September 7, 2010 an Administrative Law Judge issued an Initial Decision revoking Tara Gold's registration of its common stock. The Initial Decision does not become final until the Commission enters an order of finality. The Commission will enter an order of finality unless a party files a Petition for Review or a motion to correct a manifest error of fact, or unless the Commission determines on its own to review the Initial Decision.
On September 24, 2010 Tara Gold filed a Petition to Review the decision of the administrative law judge. On September 30, 2010 the Commission granted Tara Gold's Petition for Review.
Tara Gold has until November 1, 2010 to file with the Commission a brief in support of its petition. The SEC's Enforcement Division has until December 1, 2010 to file a brief in opposition. Tara Gold then has until December 15, 2010 to file a reply to the Division's opposition.
After all briefs and replies have been filed, the Commission will decide if Tara Gold's registration pursuant to section 12(j) of the Exchange Act should be revoked. For more information regarding this issue, please visit the Commission's website at www.sec.gov.
On September 13, 2010, Tara Gold announced that it has entered into a tentative agreement with Tara Minerals whereas Tara Minerals will acquire all of the common shares of Tara Gold by exchanging one (1) Tara Minerals share for two (2) Tara Gold shares. Tara Gold and Tara Minerals management has recommended that their shareholders support the Transaction. The Transaction continues to progress and further details will be distributed upon Tara Gold filing its 10-Q and 10-K reports.
