American Petro-Hunter Increases Targeted Production

Scottsdale, AZ—American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that based on a series of successful tests and an engineering analysis of the resulting data, the Company and its partners have determined that following an upcoming planned fracture stimulation ("frack"), the recently drilled NOS227 well has the potential to produce at an Initial Production Rate ("IPR") increased upwards from original estimates and now targeted at 300 barrels of oil per day.

The Company's well completion contractor based in Cushing, Oklahoma has worked with many companies and majors completing vertical and horizontal wells in the play and has reported that a newly designed multi-stage surge frack has been highly effective in dramatically increasing Mississippi production in the area.

Analogous vertical wells located nearby and to the north of NOS227 have paid out in less than 90 days when successful "fracks" of this type have been implemented. This formula equates to consistent production in the 300 BOPD range. Historically, Mississippi wells drilled in the township where our lease block is situated have produced oil at varying rates. It is only recently that new completion technologies have offered the potential to deliver vastly higher production through enhanced reservoir stimulation technologies.

The Company is now awaiting the timetable for the implementation of the multi-stage surge frack while construction of site facilities in the form of pump jack, tank battery and disposal facilities is underway. The NOS227 will become the 3rd production well at the North Oklahoma Project in Payne County, Oklahoma. The well was drilled to 3,820 feet which includes the 85 feet of the aforementioned Mississippi Formation.

Robert McIntosh, President and C.E.O. states, "We are amassing more technical and engineering information on the Mississippi and Woodford almost daily. Much of our planning for the field development of the area is based on a prudent 'watch & learn' approach by following the experiences of the well-funded major and intermediate operators in the immediate area. The more wells drilled and completed in Payne County in the Mississippi and Woodford formations provides us with an increasing body of exceptional data which significantly increases our expectations towards drilling and completing future successful producers destined to maximize existing and future production for our Company."

American Petro-Hunter has a 50% interest in the well. Production from NOS227 will be sold alongside output from the No. 1 and NOJ26 wells to Sunoco, the regional purchaser. West Texas Intermediate Crude today has recently been priced at $108 per barrel and continues to rise based on instability in the Middle East.
