Apella Resources Inc.: Additional Encouraging Drill Results at Iron-T (ccnm)

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 21, 2010) - Apella Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:APA)(FRANKFURT:NWN) -

27.64 METRE (90.68 FEET) 37.87% Fe2O3, 0.41% V2O5, and 6.26% TiO2

35.1 METRE (115.16 FEET) 36.76% Fe2O3, 0.38% V2O5, and 4.80% TiO2

Apella Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that the most recent drilling results received have again confirmed further favourable intersections of highly significant disseminated, semi massive and massive Vanadiferous mineralization on Apella's Iron-T Vanadium-Iron-Titanium project near Matagami, Quebec. Positive assay results continue to be received from ALS Chemex. Results received to date from holes MA-10-32, MA-10-36 and MA-10-37 are outlined below.

It is noted that hole MA-10-36 was collared at about 1500 metres (4,921 feet) west-northwest (WNW) of hole MA-10-32 and about 1200 metres (3,937 feet) of the west-northwestern end of any previous drilling. Drill hole MA-10-36 was drilled across a magnetic anomaly which is the extension of the Main Mineralized Zone (MZ) which Apella has been carrying out its limited targeting to date. Hole MA-10-37 was drilled approximately 500 metres (1,640 feet) west-northwest (WNW) of Hole MA-10-36 on the very same magnetic anomaly, which also corresponds to the extension of the Main Zone (MZ). The Main Zone (MZ) is the limited 1.5 km area which has been the target of Apella's drilling and the SGS report to date. Holes MA-10-36 and MA-10-37 coupled with Hole MA-10-35 definitely show that the V-Fe-T mineralization extends over a very long distance to the west-northwest (WNW).

From these successful step-out holes Apella has now extended its drilling coverage from approximately 1.5 kms to over 3.0 kms and remained in mineralization along strike. Upon review of this drill data and the existing magnetic airborne signature that straddles the Iron-T property from north-west to south-east Apella is confident it can now extend its targeted area of favourable mineralization for exploration and drilling on the Iron-T by 50% from its earlier prediction of 10.3 kms to 15.5 kms in distance along strike northwest to southeast.

The results received to date for Holes MA-10-32, MA-10-36 and MA-10-37 are as follows:

The following is worth noting to achieve a perspective of drill hole positioning: Hole MA-10-32 was drilled on the same section as Apella's earlier drill hole MA-09-09, but in the opposite direction (from north to south). Drill hole L-1-82, historically drilled by SDBJ, is located about 100 metres east.

At this time field crews are continuing to work on clearing, power-washing and sampling of the new outcrop discovery areas.

Apella is now planning its next phase of diamond drilling for the Iron-T project.

The press release has been reviewed by Dr. Christian Derosier, P. Geo., Consulting Geologist and Qualified Person for the Iron-T project under National Instrument 43-101.
