American Petro-Hunter Inc. was incorporated on January 24, 1996, pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Wolf Exploration, Inc. with a business plan to acquire properties for precious metal exploration in the western United States. However after considering several properties, the Company determined that the properties identified were not suitable to fully implement an exploration and development project in the United States. In August 1996 the Company changed management and developed a new business plan.
