American Intl Pete shares slide

NEW YORK, July 29 (Reuter) - American International Petroleum Corp shares slid 13/32 to
2-25/32 on Tuesday in heavy volume of 23.7 million shares after some investors exited the stock
due to doubts that the company will be able to translate its huge Kazakh oil find into cash.

``There was a news article which was viewed as being extremely negative,'' said one analyst.

Company chief executive George Faris told investors and potential investors on Monday that the
company lacked the capital for a comprehensive drilling program on its 4.7 million acre
concession but that he had been approached by several companies offering finance in exchange
for stakes in the project.

However, analysts note that although companies typically receive large licenses with huge reserves
in Kazakhstan, actually drilling out oil and producing at a daily rate sufficient to generate a decent
return is not easy.
