No. 333-125053)

Filed May 19, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on
Form S-3/A filed July 20, 2005

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rules 460 and 461 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, NGAS Resources,
Inc., a British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), hereby requests that acceleration of the
effectiveness of the captioned Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) to 4:00
p.m. on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 or as soon thereafter as practicable. In
requesting acceleration of effectiveness from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”), the Company acknowledges the following:

    •

    Should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not
foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the
filing;

    •

    The action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement
effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration
Statement; and

    •

    The Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of
effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the
Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the
United States.

Please direct any enquiries on this request to the undersigned at (859) 263-3948. Thank you for
your attention to this request.

Very truly yours,

NGAS RESOURCES, INC.
