      Re:   Vanguard Energy Corporation
            Registration Statement on Form S-1
            File No. 333-174194


     This  office  represents   Vanguard  Energy  Corporation  (the  "Company").
Amendment  No. 3 to the  Company's  registration  statement on Form S-1 has been
filed with the Commission.  This letter provides the Company's  responses to the
comments  received from the staff by letter dated August 19, 2011. The paragraph
numbers in this letter  correspond  with the numbered  paragraphs in the staff's
comment  letter.  The number under the "page number"  column  indicates the page
number in the  Registration  Statement  where the response to the comment can be
found.

                                                                     Page Number

       Underwriting Agreement, which was filed with the
       original Registration Statement (Exhibit 1.1). The

       for that matter, has the underwriting agreement
       been signed). The signed lock-up agreements will
       typically be delivered to the underwriter when the
       underwriting agreement is signed.                                     --
