SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (Azco Mining Inc., 
Common Stock, $.002 Par Value) File No. 1-12974

June 18, 2003.
    Azco Mining Inc., a Delaware corporation (``Issuer''), has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its Common Stock, $.002 par value (``Security''), from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or 
``Exchange'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and with the Amex's 
rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from 
listing and registration.
    The Issuer states that it is taking such action because the Issuer 
has been notified that it is not in compliance with the Amex's listing 
standards. In addition, the Issuer believes that its needs would be 
better served by listing its Security on the OTC Bulletin Board 
(``OTCBB'').
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing on the Amex and from registration under section 
12(b) of the Act \3\ shall not affect its obligation to be registered 
under section 12(g) of the Act.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any interested person may, on or before July 9, 2003, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\5\
