Apella Resources Inc.(TSX.V: APA); (Frankfurt Symbol: NWN) and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce that the Company has received the remainder of its drill results of its Phase 2 of diamond drilling on its Iron-T Vanadium-Iron-Titanium project. These new results from the eastern extension of the Iron-T continued to provide positive results.

Core sample assays for these four 2010 drill holes have now been reviewed and Apella confirms that it has intersected further highly significant disseminated, semi massive and massive vanadiferous mineralization on its Iron-T Vanadium-Iron-Titanium Project.

Those four drill holes extend this mineralized zone over more than 500m and have returned impressive widths and values. Three of the four holes have been collared on the same N-S line in order to test and confirm a thickening of the strong magnetic anomaly. This is a very important element as the company moves toward zoning out tonnage in order to delineate a mineable resource.

In its Phase 2 of diamond drilling the company submitted 549 drill samples, including 226 from 4 of the last 5 holes; which included numerous random blanks for analysis. The assays returned in Phase 2 by ALS Chemex ranged from a low of approximately 0.10 Fe2O3 to highs of over 70% Fe2O3; a low of 0.70 TiO2 to highs in the range of 15.92% TiO2; and lows in the range of 0.07% V2O5 to highs in the range of 1.21% V2O5. Of the 549 Fe2O3 assays received 234 exceeded 30% Fe2O3, 166 exceeded 40% Fe2O3, 81 exceeded 50% Fe2O3, and 107 were in the 50% to 71% Fe2O3 range. Of the TiO2 assays 307 assays exceeded 3% TiO2, 209 exceed 5% TiO2, and 70 samples exceeded 10% TiO2. Of the 59 samples 362 exceeded 0.20% V2O5, 199 exceeded 0.40% V2O5, 157 exceeded 0.50% V2O5, 51 exceeded 0.75% V2O5 and 9 exceed 1.00% V2O5. The assays in the upper percentiles continue to increase in quantity and grade as the number of drill holes increases.

Mr. Patrick D. O�Brien, ICD.D, Chairman, states "We have now proven that the Iron-T hosts mineraliztion in quantity and quality. Apella�s geological team has advised management that it plans to produce and submit to management an updated 43-101 compliant report on the Iron-T within the next couple of weeks and at that time determine and provide management with an initial inferred resource figure for the Iron-T based on the 24 holes of diamond drilling to date."

Dr. Christian Derosier, P. Geo, Consulting Geologist, and Qualified Person for the Iron-T project states "The excellent drilling results obtained in 2009 and 2010 encourages the geologists to prepare an estimation to date of mineral resources for the Iron T project, which will be compliant with NI 43-101."

The following is a chart outlining the new assay results from these latest four holes #MA-10-20 through #MA-10-24. As well, this chart includes the other six holes from the Phase #2 drilling that were announced in Apella�s release March 30, 2010. Following the chart will be a brief description of the details pertaining to the most recent four holes.

Specific commentary on the semi-massive to massive intersects, from the new results is as follows:

Drill hole MA-10-20 was drilled to114 metres in length and collared at about 450 m ESE of drill hole MA-10-19. The first mineralized layer was intersected at 19.00 m. From 19.81 m to 47.22m, the hole returned 35.81% Fe2O3, 6.46% TiO2 and 0.50% V2O5 including an impressive 15.60m (51.18 ft) of 48.09% Fe2O3, 9.26% TiO2 and 0.72% V2O5. Lower grade intersections were obtained from 47.22m to 89.34m, and from 102.45 to 114.00 m which returned 17.31 % Fe2O3, 2.25% TiO2 and 0.18% V2O5. Due to the excellent results obtained in the upper part of drill hole MA-10-20. Drill hole MA-10-22 was collared at about 20m north of drill hole MA-10-20.

Drill hole MA-10-21 was drilled to 144m in length and was collared at about 85 m South of Hole MA-10-20 in order to intersect the very wide magnetic anomaly in that location. The hole successfully intersected an almost continuous mineralized zone from 24.94m to 139.29m with some impressive vanadium intersections. This wide intersection yielded a very encouraging 109.10 meters (357.94 ft) of 29.25% Fe2O3, 4.47% TiO2 and 0.36% V2O5. This intersection included:
