APELLA RESOURCES INC. - SMARTSTOX REPORT



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Smartstox Report on Apella ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Apella Resources Inc. TSX VENTURE:APA | OTCQX:APAFF | FRANKFURT:NWN At the Forefront of Vanadium Exploration and Development Download Full Report Here A buzz is building about vanadium-a strategic metal best known as a key additive for high-strength low-alloy steel.

New construction standards in China, as well as emerging high tech applications for this metal, could dra�matically change the current supply-demand balance.

One Canadian junior that is banking on this is Apella Resourc�es Inc.-the companys holdings in Quebec could provide North Americas first major, viable, domestic supply.

In fact, it might just have the worlds largest deposit! VANADIUM, ELEMENT OF THE FUTURE The backbone of the vanadium sector is its use as an additive that considerably increases the strength of steel.

Vanadium steel is used in pipelines, bridges, highways, building frames, automobiles axles, high-speed tool steels and other critical components.

In the wake of recent earthquakes the Chinese government is mandating the use of higher quality vanadium steel and rebar in new construction which will necessarily in�crease vanadium consumption The chemistry of vanadium is noteworthy for the acces�sibility of four adjacent oxidation states, and this characteris�tic is key to a number of new technologies including the Va�nadium Redox Battery which is capable of storing energy in multi-megawatt ranges.

More than 20 medium to large-scale VRB systems have been installed in Japan, USA, Europe and Australia for the storage of wind and solar energy and for load leveling at power stations and back-up power.

Its po�tential to fundamentally revolutionize energy storage systems led Discover magazine, in 2008, to call vanadium "The Ele�ment That Could Change the World". Vanadium also replaces cobalt in the latest generation of safer lithium batteries, and it increases the effectiveness of rare-earth magnets that are used in electric and hybrid ve�hicles. LAC DORE VANADIUM-IRON-TITANIUM PROJECT Apellas Lac Dore Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Deposit is host�ed in the Lac Dore Complex, a layered igneous intrusive complex lying 70 km southeast of Chibougamau, Quebec. A resource estimate for the Lac Dore deposit was calcu�lated in 2002 (pre NI 43-101) that outlined measured and in�dicated resources of 102 million tonnes at 35% magnetite, 17.4% ilmenite and 0.50% V2O5 (containing 2.27 billion ki�lograms of vanadium pentoxide).

The Lac Dore deposit is currently listed as the largest vanadium deposit in North America and second-largest in the world. The 2002 resource estimate was part of a positive Feasi�bility Study prepared by SNC-Lavalin who was scoping the development of an open pit mine, processing facilities and infrastructure required to produce va�nadium pentoxide for the conventional steel alloy market as well as processing facilities to produce vanadium-based chemicals for specialty uses. When Apellas management group realized the Lac Dore claims were com�ing available in August of 2007, it as�sembled a team and quickly staked the deposit.

A competing staker launched a challenge for 21 of the claims, but Que�bec courts have awarded 18 of those claims to Apella, giving it commanding control. Apella also has a 100% interest in 80 claims referred to as Lac Dore North that cover an apparent extension of the Lac Dore deposit with a strike length of at least 2.6 km.

2009 drill testing re�turned values ranging from 0.46% V2O5 to 0.64% V2O5, and up to 13.08% tita�nium and 54% iron over varied widths. Apella plans to conduct a drill pro�gram at Lac Dore in 2011, focused on bringing the historic resource into NI 43-101 compliance. IRON-T VANADIUM-IRON�TITANIUM PROJECT The central part of the Iron-T Vanadi�um-Titanium-Iron property is located just 10 km southeast of the town of Matagami.

The Bell River Complex that hosts the Iron-T is similar to the Lac Dore layered igneous complex. Drill programs in 2009 and 2010 in�tersected several disseminated to mas�sive iron oxide layers with several long intersections of disseminated, semi massive, and massive vanadiferous mineralization, including 93.66 m of 43.87% Fe2O3, 7.90% TiO2, and 0.41% V2O5, and 90.93 m of 42.70% Fe2O3, 7.24% TiO2 and 0.38% V2O5. Based on 41 drill holes and a mini�mum cut-off grade of 0.48% V2O5 equivalent, SGS-Geostat recently pre�pared a resource estimate showing 14,376,000 tonnes in the inferred cat�egory at 0.42% V2O5 (or 0.77% V2O5 equivalent).

Note that the estimate could not use data from several drill holes that returned excellent mineral�ization as those holes are spaced too far apart, and it also doesnt include the 19 holes of the Phase 4 program complet�ed in the spring of 2011. Only a small portion of the strike length of the mineral enriched Bell Riv�er structure has been drill-tested and Apellas geologists believe the Iron-T deposit will prove to be substantially larger than Lac Dore, and perhaps the largest in the world. ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS South Africa, north-western China, and eastern Russia account for the vast ma�jority of global vanadium production.

Analysts note that all of those countries have significant limitations to increased production, and that new mines in re�liable and safe jurisdictions would be particularly attractive to vanadium con�sumers. Apellas deposits are easily acces�sible and have roads, rail, abundant and cheap power, water, and ready labour all nearby.

Working in Quebec further increases an exploration companys ef�ficiency as the province provides explo�ration credits of up to 40% of expenses paid back in cash, which can be rein�vested in ongoing programs. Given the vast size of their deposits, Apella foresees production beginning with the lower cost extraction of the vanadium-enriched magnetite for the steel industry, and then expanding to refine the vanadium and titanium for particular markets, including emerging battery applications. CORPORATE EXPERTISE Apella has considerable geological ex�pertise in its fold: consulting geologist Christian Derosier, M.Sc., D.Sc., is the former president of the Quebec Miner�al Exploration Association.

On Apellas Advisory Board is Dr.

Mehmet Taner, consulting geologist and mineralogist and one of the worlds foremost vana�dium experts who led exploration work on the Iron-T deposit for Noranda in the 1990s. This past winter it was announced that Professor Maria Skyllas-Kazacos, the inventor of the Vanadium Redox Battery, had joined Apellas Advisory Board. DYNAMIC CONCLUSION With vanadium becoming increasingly important, there are a few deposits around the world that are being ad�vanced to possible production scenari�os.

What distinguishes Apella Resourc�es projects are their size (very large), the metallurgy/ composition (attractive mix of iron ore and vanadium), and lo�cation (in Quebec, one of the worlds most mining-friendly jurisdictions). Vanadium consumption set to in�crease from its use as a hardening agent in steel, and emerging applications are providing a whole new market for the uncommon metal. A junior company like Apella Resources, who may control the most extensive vanadium assets in the world, wont often show up on an investors computer screen. www.smartstox.com DYNAMIC STOCK MARKET ANALYSIS For more information contact: W.
