[Press Release] Lac Dore North Assay Results

22 Jan 2009 12:46:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, Jan. 22 - Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V: APA); (Frankfurt Symbol: NWN) and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce the results of its channel sampling program which was recently completed on its 100-per-cent owned Lac Dore North Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project. The Lac Dore North property encompasses 18 claims covering an area of approximately 300 hectares (741 acres), covering the Northeast extension of the renowned Lac Dore Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Deposit, over a strike length of 2.6 kilometers (1.6 miles). A total of 60 samples were taken, representing a total length of sampling of about 90 meters and the results are as follows:

Vanadium values from 0.05% to 0.610%, which after conversion to V205, returned values from 0.089% to 1.089%. The average grade of Vanadium Pentoxide (V205) is 0.55%. Titanium (Ti02) values range from 1.33% to 12.30%; the average grade of Titanium (Ti02) is 6.40%. Iron (Fe) values range from 13.23% to 56.50%; the average grade of Iron (Fe) is 32.81%.

These results represent only a small part of the P1 Zone (G.O. Allard, 1990) crossing Apella's claims, however they are compatible with results obtained by the previous owners of the claims. The channel samples did not cross the total width of this zone, therefore the Company's geologist recommends stripping a stratigraphic section across the P1 Zone before undertaking an aggressive drilling program.

During the Fall 2008 exploration program, Apella's field crew stripped and cleared off two large areas, covering several hundred square meters of magnetite-bearing mineralization, as well as four smaller zones. The stripped areas cover part of the P1 Zone which is found at the base of the Layered Series of the Lac Dore Anorthositic Complex. Normally this zone varies from 30 to 90 meters in thickness. It is the only zone which contains economic values of Vanadium. The P1 Zone is made of an alternation of leucocratic ferrogabbro, magnetite rich ferrogabbro, ferropyroxennite, magnetite rich pyroxenite and magnetitites. The channel sampling cut part of this alternation like a horizontal drill hole. It is consequently normal to obtain samples presenting rich and low Vanadium contents.

On one of the stripped areas, two Northwest oriented transversal lines, situated 25 meters apart, were sawed down to a 5 centimeter (2 inches) depth. The channels are 5 centimeters (2 inches) in width. Channel samples, recovered with a hammer and chisel, are an average of 1 meter in length and between 2.44 and 7.42 kilograms in weight.

Samples were analyzed by ALS-Chemex laboratories in Val d'Or, Quebec and in Perth, Australia, using two different methods. The first method is aimed at Iron ore. It consists of a fusion followed by X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry (ME-XRF-11). The accuracy for Vanadium is 0.001%. However, shipping the samples to Australia required a long quarantine period which does not allow for results prior to a three month time period. Consequently, the Company requested that the laboratory propose a method of assaying providing almost the same results but with a much shorter waiting period. The second batch of samples were treated by fusion (lithium metaborate) followed by X-Ray fluorescence (ME-XRF-06). Results were obtained within three weeks using this method.

[Press Release] NEWS - Apella Resources Inc. - IRON-T Vanadium-Titanium Project Delivers Very Encouraging Vanadium and Titanium Assay Results

30 Oct 2008 14:51:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, Oct. 30 - Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V Symbol (APA);
Frankfurt Symbol (NWN), is pleased to announce that the company has received
assays from its recent channel sampling program carried out on the 100% owned
Iron-T Vanadium-Titanium project situated near the mining centre of Matagami
in central Quebec. Apella's claims cover a significant portion 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. Vanadium and
Titanium results in the tables below are expressed as a percentage. To convert
Vanadium assays to Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) equivalents as these are commonly
utilized and quoted by the industry, we multiplied the assay results by the
required factor of 1.785. The Vanadium values of the mineralized horizons, as
shown in the tables below, are equivalent to those of current primary Vanadium
producers and potential new producers, globally. The samples were analyzed for
a total of 25 elements including the major elements phosphorus and sulfur. Low
levels of these particular two elements is important and the sampling results
have provided confirmation that the levels of these two elements are indeed
very low, meeting or exceeding industry maximum standard levels. The levels of
Vanadium and Titanium are very encouraging. Typical grades of currently
exploited deposits are in the order of 0.50% V2O5 with a break-even point at
the current Vanadium prices, of 0.20% V2O5. The current market prices of
Vanadium Pentoxide at $13.50 USD/LB, and Titanium at $14.00 USD/LB have
remained stable.

    The Iron-T is centered just 10 km east of the town of Matagami, Quebec.
Since 1963 and the discovery of the Bell Allard base metals mine, Matagami has
offered all facilities and infrastructure needed for a mining operation. The
10 km long, 1,672.9 hectare Iron-T mining property covers a significant
portion of the Bell River Complex, a layered gabbroic intrusion which contains
in its upper part, iron-rich horizons hosting the Vanadium and Titanium
mineralization. The vanadium-rich horizons are well defined on the ground and
in aeromagnetic surveys by their high magnetic susceptibilities.
    It is notable that the Bell River Complex in Quebec hosting the Iron-T
may be compared to the Lac Doré layered igneous Complex situated some
250 kilometres east in the Chibougamau mining district of Québec (in part also
owned by Apella), and to the Bushveld layered Complex of South Africa, a well
described locality for deposits of vanadium. Mineralization is confined to
zones of magnetite-ilmenite enrichment in the upper zone gabbroic sequence of
these Complexes. Magnetite is predominant over ilmenite with the magnetite
crystals commonly displaying ex-solution lamellae of ilmenite. The vanadium is
principally associated with magnetite fraction where it replaces trivalent
iron.
    Samples No.224925, and No.224926 from the Iron-T were made in early
August 2008 by an Independent consulting geologist, Mr. R. Moar, P. Geo., who
was awarded the task of preparing a NI 43-101 compliant report on the
property. A second sampling was made by Apella's exploration team under the
supervision and auspices of Dr. Christian G. Derosier, P.Geo and Vice
President-Exploration of Apella. This second sampling which consisted of three
long channel samplings was made across a mineralized stripped area uncovered
by Noranda in 1998. All samples were properly tagged and sealed before being
sent to the ALS-Chemex laboratory in Val d'Or, Quebec where they were assayed
using a method of assaying specially tailored in 1998 for the Noranda Bell
River project and McKenzie Bay's Lac Doré project. One blank sample was added
to the batch of samples sent. Standards were added by the laboratory and
duplicates were made at random. Samples were treated by fusion using lithium
metaborate followed by X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry for the
characterization of iron ores.
    Vanadium is a strategic metal and is used in the production of
high-quality metal alloys, like strengthened steel, because of its property as
an active grain refiner and as a strong deoxidant and can impart strength,
hardness and wear resistance to steels. The vanadium industry is relatively
new and new uses are continually being discovered for the metal. Following are
a number of the main uses of vanadium by various industries: iron and steel,
high-strength steels , full alloy steels , tool steels , carbon steels ,
stainless and heat resistant steels , cast irons, titanium alloys, superalloys
and hard-facing alloys, aerospace engines and airframe materials.
    Non-metal end-uses for Vanadium: catalysts, ceramic, glasses and
pigments, electronics, batteries (e.g., vanadium redox batteries).

[Press Release] NEWS - Apella Commences Vanadium-Titanium Exploration at Lac Dore North

02 Oct 2008 11:00:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, Oct. 2 - Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V Symbol (APA); Frankfurt Symbol (NWN), is pleased to announce that the company has commenced and is currently undertaking its fall 2008 field exploration program on its 100% owned Lac Dore North Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Zone.

Apella's field crew has cleared off several hundred metres of magnetite bearing mineralization at surface for channel sampling. The mineralization exposed to date appears to have striking similarities to that which surfaces at the adjoining 102 million tonne/5.5 billion pound Lac Dore Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Deposit which Apella staked in August 2007. So far more than 35 one-metre long channel samples have been sawn across various areas of the new surfacing mineralization. High-pressure washing equipment and mechanical devices are being utilized to clear and clean the mineralization for sampling. Due to the significance of the mineralization that has been exposed so far by the field crew, the company is now considering the merits of immediately taking out a small bulk sample from the surface mineralization for testing.

This specific block of Apella's Lac Dore claims presently being explored, is being identified as the Lac Dore North Zone and encompasses only 18 claims of Apella's overall Lac Dore assemblage. This area covers some 300 sq, Hectares (741 Sq. Acres) and appears to have a considerable south-to-north strike length of approximately 2.6 kilometres (1.6 miles). The newly exposed mineralization is compelling and there is a possibility that Apella could be in the process of delineating a new Lac Dore ore zone on the Lac Dore North.

The identification of this large mineralized zone comes at a very important time as the company is laying out its long term strategies for exploration and development of the Lac Dore area and can now place significant emphasis on this area as well.

The qualified person for the purposes of this news release is Dr. Christian G. Derosier, P.Geo.

In other news the company is awaiting assays from surface samples recently taken from its wholly-owned Iron-T Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project situated in Central Quebec, near the mining centre of Matagami. The Iron-T Project is 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.

[Industry Bulletin] INDUSTRY BULLETIN - Bloomberg - Gold May Hit $950 As Central Banks and Miners Hold Back Sales. Grandich Pegs It Again

17 Sep 2008 13:46:00 GMT

Dear Shareholders,

In an effort to keep you up to date on all pertinent information regarding the resource sector and more specifically the supply demand fundamentals of gold bullion, please see the latest AGORACOM Blog entry titled, "Bloomberg - Gold May Hit $950 As Central Banks and Miners Hold Back Sales."

Gold is up $64 to $844 as of 12:15 PM EST. I could end this post here and that one sentence could be the entire story.

However, like a good infomercial, “there is more!”. Specifically, Bloomberg is running a story that gold may hit $950 by the end of the year “as central banks and miners hold back sales and investors buy the metal as a haven against falling stock prices.”

The good news for gold bugs is that a $950 price isn’t tethered to simply a shaky stock market. Otherwise, a market turnaround on its own could quell the gold rush.

Rather, London-based researcher GFMS Ltd. states that Central Bank sales will drop 46 percent in 2008, while mine supply will decline for a third year. Specifically, with respect to mine supply, global mine production will drop 2.3 percent this year to 2,422 tons, the lowest since 1996 That is going to put great pressure on an already string tight supply issue.

Moreover, GFMS believes demand from investors worldwide will soar 38 percent to 778 metric tons, with purchases in east Asia more than doubling.

GRANDICH HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD AGAIN

If I didn know any better, I would think that Peter Grandich single-handedly sets the price of gold. For about the zillionth time over the last 3 years, Grandich once again pegged an overextended gold price (oversold or overbought) when he made this statement just 5days ago in his newsletter:

“I have just recorded the single most oversold condition for Gold since the great
bull market began at the start of this decade”

After a brief hiatus, it looks like gold is back and possibly stronger than ever.

Regards,
AGORACOM

[Press Release] NEWS - Apella Resources Inc. - News Release Amendment

08 Jul 2008 09:00:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, July 8 - 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.

[Press Release] NEWS - Apella Increases Vanadium Interests

02 Jul 2008 15:03:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, July 2 - 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.

[Press Release] NEWS - Lac Dore Vanadium-Titanium-Ir... Project Site Inspection Underway

11 Jun 2008 15:33:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, June 11 - Apella Resources Inc. (TSX.V Symbol - "APA"; Frankfurt Symbol - "NWN"), and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce that the physical inspection by the Quebec Ministry of Mines (Ministere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune) of the staking of certain disputed mineral claims staked by the Company and a competitor in and around the Lac Dore Vanadium Deposit situated near Chibougamau, Quebec has commenced. The disputed claims were staked by Apella and a competitor, Mr. Rejean Pickard, on August 21, 2007. Apella has already succeeded in confirming its title to 36 of the 57 mineral claims staked by it at Lac Dore. Apella has now been advised by the Quebec Ministry of Mines (Ministere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune) that 9 of the 21 claims staked on August 21st, 2007 and applied for by Mr. Pickard over the same ground as ground staked by Apella have now been rejected as the competitor's staking did not meet the standards set out in the Quebec Mining Act. Apella has been advised that the physical inspection currently underway only involves the remaining 12 claims under dispute.

The Lac Dore Vanadium Deposit was originally discovered by the Government du Quebec in the 1960's and subsequently placed under the control of Societe generale de financement du Quebec (SGF) and its wholly owned subsidiary SOQUEM, Inc. in 1998. The Lac Dore deposit is reportedly the second largest vanadium deposit in the world containing approximately 5.5 billion lbs of Vanadium (V2O5). The disputed claims include a number of claims that cover the Lac Dore Vanadium Deposit. 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.

The disputed claims are being physically inspected by a team of inspectors from the Quebec Ministry of Mines who are now on site. Since the dispute arose in the fall of 2007, Mr. Pickard has been represented by and has given the Quebec government corporation, SOQUEM, Inc. full power and authority by way of a Power of Attorney to act on his behalf in this dispute. Apella welcomes the inspection as the Company looks forward to securing its rightful ownership to all of the Lac Dore claims it has applied for, that have not already been awarded to the Company. The assessment of the claims will be made on a claim-by-claim basis to ensure compliance with the various requirements set out in the Quebec Mining Act. Apella is confident that the quality of its staking endeavours was above reproach and met the highest professional standards.

Should Apella gain confirmation of title of the remaining Lac Dore claims the Company will set out a series of milestones for further development, production and sales contracts for the exploitation of the vanadium products that could be possibly be derived from future operations.

In the mean time Apella is pleased to advise that it is proceeding with its ongoing plans for its Iron-T Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project situated just outside the town of Matagami, Quebec.

Apella Resources has spent the past 14 years and millions of dollars exploring and developing projects in Quebec. It is committed to exploration and development in Quebec and highly values its excellent relations with all Government bodies involved in the mining industry. The Company looks forward to contributing even further to the prosperity of the Chibougamau and Matagami regions as it continues to explore and develop hundreds of mineral claims it already owns. The Company will continue to advise its stakeholders and shareholders of the details pertaining to these very important events as information becomes available.

[Press Release] NEWS - Apella Resources Inc. - Crone's Pulse EM Surface Survey Results

16 Apr 2008 12:08:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, April 16 - 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 100 S.

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.

[Press Release] NEWS - Novawest Acquires Iron-T Vanadium-Titanium-Ir... Project - Strengthening its Interests in Strategic North American Ferrovanadium Projects

19 Feb 2008 15:22:00 GMT

&l... VANCOUVER, Feb. 19 - Novawest Resources Inc. (TSXV - "NVE"; Frankfurt - "NWN"), and its Board of Directors are very pleased to announce that the company has acquired its third Canadian Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project. The newly acquired Iron-T Project, comprised of 17 mining claims, is situated in centralQuebec west of the mining centre of Matagami. The acquisition of the Iron-T Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project, coupled with the earlier acquisition of the SideLine Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project (adjoining the well known Lac Dore Deposit) and the pending claim application covering the 5.5 billion pound Lac Dore Deposit firmly place Novawest at the forefront of North American Vanadium exploration and development. All three of these key projects are located in centralQuebec, Canada . Novawest is committed to a strategic goal of creating, through acquisition and development, North America's only primary source of ferrovanadium; and is confident it has the assets and resources with which to achieve that goal.

<... way of a Purchase Agreement, Novawest has acquired a 100-per-cent interest in the Iron-T Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project by paying the vendors$250,000.00 and 900,000 common shares of Novawest. The shares being issued will be subject to a hold period per the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The purchase is also subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Vendors will receive a 3% Net Smelter Return ("NSR"), of which Novawest may purchase, at its discretion, 1 1/2% (one half) of the NSR for$500,000 . Novawest also retains a First Right of Refusal on the balance of the NSR. Novawest has also committed to carry out a minimum of$500,000 in exploration within the first 2 years of ownership to move the project forward.

Novawest and the Vendors have also entered into an Area of Influence Agreement whereby any mineral claims, acquired by either Novawest or the Vendors, within 2 miles of the boundaries of the initial 17 claims will automatically be included in the Iron-T Project. Since the Agreement was executed, both Novawest and the Vendors have applied for all the available claims of immediate interest, adjoining or nearby the Iron-T project. The new claims will all be added to the Iron-T Project.

The Iron-T Fe-Ti-V Project consists of two groups of claims. One is located in Comporté-Lozeau Township (the Lorte property); the other in Isle-Dieu Township, west of the town of Matagami (the Lalanne group of claims).

The properties cover parts of the Bell River Complex which is a large, layered Archean intrusion occurring in the Matagami mining district. The Complex consists of western and eastern lobs separated by the Olga granodiorite pluton. The Complex is poorly documented despite the fact that it played an important role as a heat source for the mineralization of several massive sulphide deposits in the Matagami mining camp.

The Bell River complex has been divided into three main zones: a basal anorthosite zone; a layered gabbro zone and a zone consisting of apophyses, subsidiary intrusions and border zone. The layered gabbro zone consists of distinctly layered Fe-Ti-oxide-rich gabbro, more or less leucogabbro, minor anorthosite and pyroxenite. Vanadium mineralization within theBell River Complex occurs within Fe-Ti-oxide -rich horizons in the layered ferrogabbro zone of the upper part of the Complex. The horizon is well defined on the ground and in aeromagnetic survey maps by its high magnetic susceptibility.

Oxide-rich gabbro horizons are about 10 m to 150 m wide with a subvertical dip. The gabbro is a mineralized cumulate with homogeneously disseminated oxide mineral contents of 20 to 60 modal % or homogeneous, massive bands with widths of several centimetres to tens of centimetres, with oxide mineral contents of 50 to 90 modal %. These mineralized bands form 60-80% of the layered gabbro zones. There is a sharp contact between mineralized oxide-rich gabbro and host gabbro- anorthosite sequences in theBell River Complex.

Vanadium mineralization occurs in oxide-rich horizons within the upper parts of layered complexes such as the Bushveld. The distribution and geological relationships of these oxide-rich layers clearly indicate that they are magmatic ore deposits and that their genesis is directly related to processes that were operating during the late stages of fractional crystallization.

Previous exploration work carried out by Noranda Inc. during the 1990's delineated and confirmed the presence of iron, titanium and vanadium mineralizations over a distance of about 20 km. Channel sampling made on stripped outcrops as well as a limited diamond drilling campaign (4 ddh) have returned economic titanium and vanadium values. Chemical assays were confirmed by a microprobe analysis made by Lakefield Research (1998). Vanadium values obtained vary from 0.02% to 1.25% V(2)O(5), Titanium values vary from 0.35 % to 51.84 % TiO(2) and Iron values vary from 17% to 57% Fe(2)O(3), being quite similar to the nearby 5.5 billion pound Lac Dore Project, the second largest Vanadium deposit in the world.

Several assays made on channel samples were also assayed for gold, platinum and palladium. Some low values in platinum and palladium were obtained (up to 44 ppb) in samples showing higher chromium and cobalt grades in addition to higher vanadium and titanium values.

The qualified person for the purposes of this news release is Dr. Christian G. Derosier, MSc, DSc, geology.
