Calyx Bio-Ventures Inc. ("Calyx" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CYX) is pleased
to announce that it's partially-owned operating subsidiary, Agrisoma Biosciences
Inc. ("Agrisoma"), has unveiled the first comprehensive flight program in the
world to use biojet fuel produced from Agrisoma's proprietary Resonance(TM)
brand Carinata Energy Feedstock.


Resonance is a new industrial oilseed crop, derived from Brassica carinata, with
an oil profile optimized for use in the biofuel industry, specifically biojet
fuel. The program will evaluate Honeywell Green Jet Fuel(TM) refined from
Resonance feedstock oil produced in Saskatchewan. The flights, conducted in
partnership with the National Research Council ("NRC") in Ottawa with funding
from the Government of Canada's Clean Transportation Initiatives, will evaluate
the Resonance-based biojet fuel under a number of flight conditions to provide
the world's first ever real-time, in-flight emissions measurements for a biojet
fuel.


The program will also test blends of Green Jet Fuel at higher ratios than
previous demonstration flights, which have been conducted using a 50/50 ratio of
biofuel and jet fuel produced from petroleum. Previous evaluations of Green Jet
Fuel have found a 60-85 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions relative
to petroleum-based fuels.


The test flight program will utilize the unique research aircraft of the NRC
Flight Research Laboratories, a modified Falcon 20 twin-engine jet that will
test the fuel and a T-33 jet equipped to measure in-flight emissions while
flying in formation.


The Resonance crop used for the biojet fuel was grown in Kincaid, Saskatchewan
in the summer of 2011 and is being commercially contracted on a significant
number of acres in western Canada for the 2012 crop year. Resonance has all the
features necessary to make it a sustainable energy feedstock crop: a non-food
industrial oilseed uniquely suited to production in semi-arid areas unsuitable
for food oilseed production, excellent agronomic characteristics, good biotic
and abiotic stress resistance, and reduced overall crop input requirements.


"As the first comprehensive testing program in the world using Resonance Energy
Feedstock, Agrisoma is excited to be partnering with NRC and Honeywell UOP,"
said Steven Fabijanski, President and CEO of Agrisoma. "Resonance has been
developed in Canada and our test flight program with NRC completes the value
chain validation as well as providing comprehensive data demonstrating the
reduced carbon footprint of biojet fuels compared to traditional fossil fuels."


"We are thrilled that Agrisoma is leading innovation in biofuels, and
specifically in biojet fuel," commented Hugh Notman, President and CEO of Calyx.
"Agrisoma is now positioned to further demonstrate the far-reaching value its
proprietary oilseeds provide. Partnerships such as this will serve to accelerate
the widespread adoption of Resonance carinata at every level."


"We are pleased to partner with Agrisoma on the first-ever flight to conduct
airborne emissions testing - an effort that will demonstrate how Honeywell Green
Jet Fuel can help reduce aviation emissions, while meeting flight
specifications," said Jim Rekoske, vice president and general manager of
Renewable Energy and Chemicals for Honeywell UOP. "Honeywell Green Jet Fuel has
been used successfully in more than a dozen commercial and military test flights
and we believe this momentous flight will continue demonstrating its viability
as a sustainable fuel option."


Funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada ("SDTC") supports the
development of high-yielding oilseed crops engineered for the production of oils
to be used in the manufacture of biofuels and products previously derived from
petroleum based supplies. These new high-performance oilseeds will combine
traits for oil chemistry and sustainable production methods which will result in
a new bioenergy crop that will contribute to energy and rural economies, as well
as providing environmental benefits in greenhouse gas emissions, soil and water
use.


"This project shows next-generation biofuels at their best: combining qualities
that make the most economic sense with those that reduce emissions," said Vicky
Sharpe, President and CEO of SDTC. "Seeing these fuels in use is an important
milestone - we congratulate Agrisoma and its partners."
