ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.

Effective as of June 23, 2010, Gold American Mining Corp. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) sections 78.385 and 78.390 (the “Certificate”) with the Nevada Secretary of State.  The Certificate provided for a change in the Company’s name from Silver America, Inc. to Gold American Mining Corp.  Pursuant to sections 78.385 and 78.390 of the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company were amended in accordance with the Certificate as of the effective date indicated on the Certificate, June 23, 2010.

SECTION 8 — OTHER EVENTS
 
ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

As disclosed above under Item 5.03, on June 23, 2010, the Company effected a name change pursuant to the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State and in coordination with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Company’s transfer agent.
 
Pursuant to the joint written consent, dated June 4, 2010, of the sole member of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) as well as the holder of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company, the Board and majority shareholder authorized and approved a name change such that the new name of the Company shall be “Gold American Mining Corp.”  The Company’s name change was effected as a result of the Company’s business operations in the precious metal industry, with a more specific emphasis on exploring for gold, and the belief that it would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to change the Company’s name to better reflect the nature of its operations.
 
Effective June 23, 2010, the Company’s common stock has a new CUSIP number, 380481 101, in connection with this name change.  The Company’s trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board, “SILA.OB,” remains the same in accordance with FINRA’s recently initiated policy of not changing trading symbols except in connection with a merger.
