Aquila 2007 Drilling Intersects Multiple Mineralized Zones and Will Add Second Drill

Market Wire, April, 2007

AQUILA RESOURCES INC. (TSX VENTURE: AQA)(FRANKFURT: JM4A) ("Aquila" or the "Company") today announced initial drill results from the first two holes of the 2007 drilling program at its Back Forty Project in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Drilling intersected high grade zinc values in the Tuff (2.92 meters of 21.65% zinc) and Main Zones (23.23 meters of 7.96% zinc) as well as significant gold and copper values. Gold was contained both in wide copper enriched stringer zones (31.88 meters of 2.73 g/t gold and 0.33% copper), and a high grade porphyry margin gold environment (2.5 meters of 37.22 g/t gold). Aquila now views the porphyry gold environment as an important new primary gold target.

LK-152 and LK-153 were drilled to further define the south dipping Tuff Zone and underlying Main Zone South Limb massive sulfides, as well as to test for deeper sulfide and gold mineralization. Stringer zone intercepts below the South Limb appear to be spatially related to the Deep Zone massive sulfide, and may significantly expand this poorly defined region of massive and semi massive sulphide base metal and gold mineralization.

A summary of results in the two holes are:

Porphyry Margin (PM Gold Zone)

The high grade porphyry margin gold intercept in LK-152 is one of a number of significant gold intercepts encountered along the north margin and interior of a quartz feldspar porphyry intrusive which extends along the axial plane of the folded stratigraphy hosting the Back Forty massive sulfides. Drilling in the central region of the fold has delineated a gold mineralized zone - the PM Gold Zone - for 140 meters of strike length and 230 meters down dip, straddling the porphyry margin and extending into the porphyry and adjacent rhyolites. Intercepts from this zone, which remains open, are summarized in the following table:
