NEWS RELEASE AMENDMENT
Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V Symbol (APA); Frankfurt Symbol (NWN), and its Board of Directors provide the following amendment. The company has noticed an inaccuracy in its News Release dated April 2nd 2008. The Company states "Dr. Taner was responsible for discovering the Bell River Vanadium Deposit in the Matagami mining district, Quebec in 1997." The Vanadium-Titanium occurrences in the Matagami area were in fact discovered by SDBJ prior to the work carried out in 1997 by Noranda and Mehmet Taner. Though not responsible for the initial discovery of these Vanadium-Titanium occurrences, Dr.Taner was the Mineralogist-Geologist responsible for the foremost mineralogical and geological studies done on this deposit while working for Noranda. His involvement with Noranda and the Federal Government allowed him to become the principal expert on this type of mineralization in Canada.
Dr. Taner was responsible for spearheading the International Symposium on Vanadium. He is a practicing member of the "Order des Geologues du Quebec" and received his degrees in Switzerland specifically: Ph.D. in Geology and Mineralogy, University of Geneva, Switzerland - 1976; M.Sc. in Geological Engineering (Geostatistics), University of Geneva, Switzerland - 1974; and B.Sc. in Geology, University of Lausanne, Switzerland (Geology and Geophysics) - 1971
Dr. Taner has published over 30 papers in revered journals and has produced over 200 technical reports and presentations. He has extensive experience as a project leader for different exploration teams, including Noranda Inc. where he carried out extensive mineralogical studies on the above mentioned vanadium deposit.
A more detailed overview of Dr. Taner's many impressive career accomplishments can be viewed on the company's Website at www.apellaresources.com.
The qualified person for the purposes of this news release is Dr. Christian G. Derosier, MSc, DSc, geology.

APELLA INCREASES VANADIUM INTERESTS
Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V Symbol (APA); Frankfurt Symbol (NWN), and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce the addition of 133 claims to the Company's wholly-owned Iron-T Vanadium Project situated in Central Quebec, west of the mining centre of Matagami. 10 of the newly added claims were acquired from the original owners of the Iron-T who had previously applied for and have since received title and transferred to Apella, as part of the purchase agreement. The other 123 newly added claims were recently acquired by way of ground staking. The Iron-T Project is now comprised of a total of 150 mining claims in which Apella has a 100-per-cent interest. The claims cover parts of the renowned Bell River Complex, where previous exploration work carried out by Noranda Inc. during the 1990's delineated and confirmed the presence of vanadium, titanium and iron mineralization over a distance of about 20 km.
The Iron-T Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project, coupled with the Company's Sideline Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project (adjoining the well-known Lac Dore deposit) and the pending claim application covering the reported 102 million tonne/5.5 billion-pound Lac Dore deposit, clearly establishes Apella at the forefront of North American vanadium exploration and development. Apella cautions readers that the numbers and quotes pertaining to reserves are historical and pre-NI 43-101 in nature and are derived from sources outside of Apella.
Vanadium is a strategic metal, used mostly in the production of high-strength steel alloys (for tools and oil-and-gas pipelines) and specialized metal alloys for the aerospace industry. Another emerging market for Vanadium comes with the development of Vanadium-redox-flow batteries which are not only environmentally friendly, but can be charged and recharged more than 10,000 times and maintain their charge almost indefinitely. Already fully implemented in Japan, its applications range from heavy industrial use to hybrid automobiles and electronics. Russia and South Africa are currently the world's primary vanadium producers.
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 and Apella Resources is poised to become the first.
