Apollo Resources Subsidiary Increases Natural Gas Production.

DALLAS -- Apollo Resources International, Inc. (OTCBB:AOOR) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Mountain States Petroleum Corporation, has begun producing natural gas from a well in southeastern Utah which had been shut-in for approximately two years. The well has produced an average of 1,050 MCFPD (thousand cubic feet per day) of raw gas per day since being upgraded during the month of January, yielding an average of 525 MCF per day of saleable natural gas into the pipeline.

Workover operations on the well were completed during the last week of October 2005. The installation and upgrading of surface production facilities was completed on January 17, 2006. Gas production rates were increased from approximately 30 MCFPD during November 2005 to a sustained rate of 1,050 MCFPD this past week. Gas production from the newly productive well is transported by a Western Gas Resources pipeline to its Kirtland Gas Plant located in Kirtland, N.M. There, it is treated for hydrogen sulfide and other contaminants before being sold.

Mountain States Petroleum Corporation is an oil and gas exploration and production company which currently has working interests in over 200 wells, all of which are operated by the Company.

Apollo Resources International (www.apolloresources.com) is a public energy company focused on the acquisition and development of upstream oil and natural gas production assets. Additionally, the Company evaluates and develops existing and future alternative energy sources.
