Apogee Intersects 6.0 Meters Grading 239.84 g/t Silver and 14.3 Meters Grading 122.69 g/t Silver at Pulacayo Deposit, Bolivia

Apogee Minerals Ltd. ("Apogee" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:APE) reports assay
results from three additional diamond drill holes from the ongoing drill
campaign at the Pulacayo deposit located in southwest Bolivia. All of the
reported holes were drilled from surface. 


The surface holes were drilled to continue delineation of the deposit along
strike east of the previously released National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101")
resource, where diamond drilling, ongoing since January 2010, has successfully
extended the deposit an additional 350 meters. (See Press Releases dated July
14th 2010, April 19th 2010, March 15th, 2010, Janruary15th 2010, and the NI
43-101 technical report dated December 2008 and filed under the SEDAR profile of
the Company at www.sedar.com).


The highlights from these holes include: 



--  DDH PUD 153 intersected 6.0 meters grading 239.84 g/t silver, 0.69% lead
    and 2.13% zinc within a 20.0 meter interval grading 75.39 g/t silver,
    0.28% lead and 0.90% zinc. 
--  DDH PUD 154 intersected 14.30 meters grading 122.69 g/t silver, 0.06%
    lead and 0.56 % zinc within a 25.0 meter interval grading 74.62 g/t
    silver, 0.10% lead and 0.50% zinc.  



The Company has now completed twenty drill holes in this area east of the
previously released NI 43-101 resource. 


Chris Collins, P. Geo., President of Apogee states, "We continue to be very
excited by the results from our ongoing drilling which is expanding the deposit.
We are continuing to delineate the east extension of the deposit and it is
showing good continuity. The grades and widths of the drill intersections we
have encountered to date are comparable to grades and widths returned from the
drill holes within the area comprising the mineral resources used in the
recently completed Technical Report on the Preliminary Assessment of the
Pulacayo Project, ("PEA"), by Micon International Ltd. (See Press Release dated
June 24, 2010 and the NI 43-101 Technical Report dated June 25th 2010 and filed
under the SEDAR profile of the Company at www.sedar.com). We are confident that
with additional drilling, this area has the potential to bring a significant
addition to the previously estimated mineral resource and expect that will
further enhance potential development plans for the deposit."

The Pulacayo Deposit is a thick east-west striking zone of conjugate veins,
stockwork and disseminated sulphides that locally are up to 200 meters thick
with a higher grade core that comprises the resource and may locally exceed 60
meters in thickness. The known strike length of the Tajo Vein System which hosts
the Pulacayo deposit is close to 3 kilometers and it remains open at both ends
along strike (Figure 2). Mineralization comprises sphalerite, galena and
tetrahedrite in sulphide-rich veins ranging from a few centimeters to greater
than one meter thick and heavily disseminated sphalerite, galena and
tetrahedrite between the veins.
