American Petro-Hunter Drilling Operations Commence at #2 Double-H Oil Well at Rooney Project, Kansas

SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 05/13/10 -- American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that preparations are underway for the arrival today of the drill rig and ancillary equipment with operations at the Rooney Project to commence immediately, with the spud of the #2 Double-H well planned to begin as soon as the rig has been set.

The #2 Double-H continues the series of development wells planned for the Rooney property in Ford County, Kansas and is being drilled as a direct offset to the #1 Double-H. The well targets the newly discovered reservoir estimated to contain in excess of 3 million barrels of oil at a location that maximizes the thickness of both Mississippian and Morrow sand. The #2 Double-H will be drilled to 5,400 feet, thereby matching the total depth (T.D.) of the #1 well.

It is expected to take approximately 7 days to reach the T.D. after which any encountered oil shows will be drill stem tested. Well completion is anticipated as the #2 Double-H sits in close proximity to the discovery well. In the event of a call as a commercial producer, the Company anticipates a rapid tie-in to the existing infrastructure which includes a recently installed tank battery at the Rooney lease.

About the Rooney Project:

The Rooney Project is located in southwestern Ford County, Kansas 20 miles due south of Dodge City and totals 7,040 acres adjacent to the north edge of existing Morrow Sand oil and gas production. The initial discovery well, #24-1 Double-H commenced commercial production in January. The potential barrels of oil associated with the discovery well and underlying oil pool are currently estimated at 500,000 barrels and the Company feels the potential for the newly discovered reservoir is 3,000,000 barrels of oil. The Company and partners have developed a plan that includes drilling 10 target locations by the end of the fourth quarter of 2010 at a planned drilling schedule of approximately one new well per month, depending on rig availability. The operator of the project is S&W Oil & Gas, LLC of Wichita, Kansas. The purchaser of the oil production at Rooney is N.C.R.A. of McPherson, Kansas.
