SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") wishes to advise that events are underway and momentum is building in the development of the newly discovered Kansas oil reservoir with the announcement of the immediate intent to drill the next in the planned series of wells at the Rooney Project.

The Company has stated it is fully committed to drill at least one well per month in order to develop the newly discovered reservoir at Rooney and is very pleased to announce that Management is in discussions with the operator and partners regarding the timing and production requirements of upcoming target locations at the project.
