APELLA LAUNCHES DRILL PROGRAM ON TOUCHDOWN GOLD PROJECT
Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V Symbol - (APA); Frankfurt Symbol - (NWN), and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce that the Company is commencing a 2,500 to 3,000 meter diamond drill program consisting of approximately 10 holes, on its wholly owned Touchdown Gold project. The company will be drilling targets identified in its recent compilation and assessment of the Companies Crone Pulse EM Surface survey coupled withthe recent Government of Quebec’s (GSC) Airborne MEGATEM Survey.
The Touchdown is part of Apella’s Chibougamau Assemblage, and is located near the town of Chapais, in central Quebec. In 1987, Minnova Inc. reported a drill defined resource estimate of 163,295 tonnes grading 5.83 g/t gold on the property. Apella is not treating the historical resource estimate as a National Instrument 43-101 defined resource for reserves verified by a qualified person and the historical resource estimate should not be relied upon. The reported drill defined resource is included in this press release for illustrative purposes only and should not be disclosed or interpreted out of context.
The qualified person for the purposes of this news release is Dr. Christian G. Derosier, P.Geo.

CRONE’S PULSE EM SURFACE SURVEY RESULTS
Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V Symbol - (APA); Frankfurt Symbol - (NWN), and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce the results obtained from the Crone Pulse EM Surface
survey carried out on its Touchdown Property which is part of the company's Chibougamau Assemblage located in the Chapais area, Province of Quebec. These results which are detailed in the following paragraphs, added to a recent compilation of all geological data, including the underground exploration work, permit to justify an aggressive drilling program which will be undertaken as soon as a drill rig is available. The equipment used for the surface survey was a Crone Pulse EM Surface system and for the drill hole survey, was a 3D borehole Pulse EM.
The survey was conducted to confirm the presence of three Megatem anomalies and to test the extension at depth of previous EM conductors picked-up by past owners of the
claims. Three large loops were designed to provide good coupling to steeply dipping structures and to ensure that any targets of interest within the survey area would be well energized.
Conductor 1A exhibits high conductivity and would rank as a very high priority massive sulphide target. This conductor is associated with felsic volcanic rocks which extend along the northern shore of Laura Lake. Top of the conductor anomaly is suggested at a depth of 200m with a conductance in excess of 100S.
Conductor 2A was picked-up on three consecutive lines (300 m). A short wavelength response indicated a near surface source (25 - 50 m) with an excellent conductivity. Conductors 3A and 4A were rated as low priority.
Six diamond drill holes were tested with the 3D borehole Pulse EM. Results of this survey appear somewhat complex, but several discrete anomalous sources are readily evident in hole TD7-1. Holes TD7-2 and TD7-3 show subtle build-up in the middle and near the end suggesting the presence of conductors located beyond the end of the hole.
The qualified person for the purposes of this news release is Dr. Christian G. Derosier, MSc, DSc, geology.

APELLA COMMENCES GEOPHYSICS PROGRAM ON LOST ISLAND PROJECT
Vancouver, BC - Friday, April 11th 2008, 12:00 p.m. PDT
Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V Symbol (APA); Frankfurt Symbol (NWN), and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce that the Company has completed twenty-four kilometers of line cutting and a cut line grid on its Lost Island Project in Chibougamau, Quebec. Apella has now commenced a Geophysical program on the Lost Island property, to investigate various gold showings/anomalies that were previously identified using an Airborne Magnetic Survey.
The Lost Island Project is ideally situated on the southern shore of Lac Merrill and is easily accessible by service road from highway 113 and highway 167. These claims include a government soil geochemistry anomaly of 140 ppb Au and two copper showings. The Company is now in the process of compiling and interpreting all of its results to date in order to establish a timetable for follow-up exploration, which is expected to include diamond drilling.

APELLA RESOURCES SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES LAC DORE VANADIUM INTERESTS
Vancouver, BC - Wednesday, April 2nd 2008, 7:30 a.m. PDT
Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V Symbol (APA); Frankfurt Symbol (NWN), and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce that the Company has acquired 30 additional mining claims in the Lac Dore Vanadium camp, increasing its Lac Dore interests by 60%.
One of the claims acquired, hosts a historical drill hole (DDH-13), pre NI 43-101 figures, that contained two significant, key mineralized intersections as follows:
· First key intersection: 40.18 meters long ran from 2 meters below surface to the 42 meter mark. It assayed 0.45% (V205) Vanadium Pentoxide and 7.09% (Ti02) Titanium Oxide over the 40.18 meters.
· Second key intersection: 98.00 meters long ran from the 85 meter mark to the 183 meter mark. It assayed 1.32% (V205) Vanadium Pentoxide and 8.05% (Ti02) Titanium Oxide over the 98.00 meters.
Included in these new interests are also 12 claims acquired to incorporate the potential for Platinum and Palladium which, like the Bushveld in South Africa, is commonly found to be associated with Vanadium deposits.
Apella has established itself at the forefront of North American vanadium exploration and development. The Company is committed to a strategic goal of attaining production through decisive acquisition and development. To date, North America has no primary sources of Vanadium production but Apella is poised to become the first.
