From the AEC website:
Emphasis added.
American Exploration Corp. is an independent oil and gas exploration company formed in 2008. The Company was founded by a highly experienced management group who understands the urgent need for American energy independence, and recognize the new range of opportunities to tap into previously unknown or inaccessible domestic energy resources arising out of dramatic changes in recovery technology.
Through valuable legacy relationships and technical insight into current trends, founding management has identified new areas with major discovery potential where the Company can participate without the exhaustive capital needs typically associated with tapping large oil and gas opportunities. These include emerging plays in unconventional resources, such as shale gas and other opportunities.
This unique combination of historical experience supported by strong industry ties and forward-thinking management gives American Exploration Corp. the capabilities of a traditional E&P firm with the fresh approach of a dynamic exploration company.

Jay. I really think the "fresh approach" is that they forgo the "exhaustive capital" approach. I think they use S&H Green Stamps.

Yeah, because that whole 'established E&P / technical thing in a core area' is so last year with the HA / HS something or other.
The thing that give me pause (besides the MS moose-pasture 2,000' shale idol thing, whoops wrong company) is the Canadian OTC thing. I think the Canadian OTC exchange forward looking statement rules would allow Skip, Jay, CMK and me to form a company which will "utilize existing theoretical design and industry relationships to demonstrate great potential and opportunity in the formation of anti-gravity fields to prevent the sky from falling" without running afoul of the regulators.
Anyone say, "pump and dump"?

Only if you have your drilling permission slip from Obama. Even then I would have to see how the cap. gains will hit me when I sell 30 seconds later.
