Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V: APA); (Frankfurt Symbol: NWN) and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce that the Company has commenced exploration on its Firecracker Gold Project located in Catherine Township near Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Apella has a 100% interest in the gold project.

The first phase of work is underway and it will entail approximately 22 line kilometres of line-cutting, ground geophysics and prospecting in order to identify targets of merit for follow-up diamond drilling.

Historically the region in and around Kirkland Lake has produced millions of ounces of gold. The nearby Kirkland Lake, Timmins, Rouyn-Noranda and Val d’Or gold camps are all situated in the Abitibi Greenstone belt. These camps have collectively produced nearly three quarters of Canada’s historic gold production.
