SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

 
In the Matter of Petro America Corp.; Order of Suspension of 
Trading

June 18, 2009.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
Petro America Corp. (``Petro America'') (trading symbol: PTRZ) because 
of questions regarding the accuracy and adequacy of assertions by Petro 
America concerning, among other things: The company's business 
operations and assets, including regarding its purported oil trading 
and storage business and holdings, its purported millions of dollars in 
assets, and its securities issued and outstanding.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the 
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in securities 
related to the above company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the 
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, 
June 18, 2009 through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on July 1, 2009.
