Re: | American Petro-Hunter Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-188316) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), American Petro-Hunter Inc. (the Company) hereby respectfully requests that the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) consent to the withdrawal of the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-1, File Number 333-188316 (the Registration Statement), including all exhibits thereto, effective as of the date first set forth above. No securities have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the Registration Statement has not been declared effective.
The Company is requesting withdrawal of the Registration Statement in response to a letter from the Commission dated May 31, 2013, which letter indicated that the Commission considers the transaction pursuant to which the shares underlying the Registration Statement were issued to not be complete at this time, and thus such shares are ineligible for registration on an indirect primary basis. Accordingly, the Company requests an order granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement to be issued by the Commission as soon as possible on the grounds that the withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477 of the Securities Act.
The Company requests in accordance with Rule 457(p) of the Securities Act that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited for future use.
