Dear Sirs:

Re: American Paramount Gold Corp. ("the Company")
    Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed January 13, 2011, as amended
    File No. 333-171681
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

In connection with the Company's above referenced Form S-1 Registration
Statement, the Company hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of the
Registration Statement to 4:30 p.m. (EST) Thursday, February 17, 2011 or as soon
thereafter as possible, in accordance with Rule 461(a) of Regulation C.

We acknowledge that

     *    should the Commission or the staff acting by delegated authority
          declare the registration statement effective, it does not foreclose
          the Commission from taking any action on the filing;

     *    the action of the Commission or the staff acting by delegated
          authority in declaring the registration statement effective does not
          relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and
          accuracy of the registration statement's disclosures; and

     *    the Company may not assert the Commission's comments or the
          declaration of the registration statement's effectiveness as a defense
          in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
          United States' federal securities laws.


We trust you will find the foregoing to be in order. Please do not hesitate to
contact the undersigned should you have any questions in this regard.

                                        Yours truly,

                                        AMERICAN PARAMOUNT GOLD CORP.
