               STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER

                        REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES

      I, William M. Aber, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of The American Energy
Group, Ltd., hereby state and attest that:

      (1)   To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
            reports of The American Energy Group, Ltd. and, except as corrected
            or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

      o     No covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact
            as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
            of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the
            date on which it was filed); and

      o     No Covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make
            the statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances
            under which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the
            period covered by such report (or in the case of a report on Form
            8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was
            filed).

      (2)   In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
            before the date of this statement, is a "covered report".

      o     The Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission for the
            fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 of The American Energy Group, Ltd.

      o     All reports on Form 10-Q and all reports on Form 8-K filed with the
            Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified
            above; and

      o     Any amendments to any of the foregoing.


      SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN BEFORE ME this 15h day of October, 2002.
