Calyx's Operating Subsidiary Powers the World's First Test Flight Fueled by 100% Renewable Jet Fuel

Calyx Bio-Venture Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CYX) announces that the Company's operating
subsidiary - Agrisoma Biosciences Inc. ("Agrisoma"), along with the National
Research Council of Canada ("NRC") and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory
("AFRL") are partnering with Applied Research Associates ("ARA") and Chevron
Lummus Global ("CLG") to evaluate CLG and ARA's 100% drop-in ReadiJet(TM) Fuel.


ARA and NRC will test the renewable jet fuel against ASTM and military
specifications and evaluate the fuel in ground based engine tests, with the
initiative culminating in a test flight with the NRC Falcon-20 twin-engine jet.
The goal of this testing is to validate the jet fuel for use by the aviation
industry.


This flight will be the first time in the world a jet aircraft is powered by
100%, un-blended, renewable jet fuel that meets petroleum jet fuel
specifications.


The biofuel, ReadiJet(TM), was produced by ARA, under contract to AFRL, from
Agrisoma's Resonance(TM) feedstock crop using CLG's and ARA's breakthrough
Biofuel ISOCONVERSION process.


During the test flight, a second aircraft, the National Research Council's T33
jet will fly behind the Falcon 20 to measure the emissions of the engine
operating on both the ReadiJet biofuel and on conventional petroleum-based
aviation fuel.


Systems onboard the Falcon 20 will allow NRC's flight research team to switch
back and forth between the two fuel types throughout the flight.


These data will be the first of its kind to evaluate biojet fuel emissions of an
aircraft engine operating on 100% biofuel.


NRC's unique expertise will support Agrisoma and CLG/ARA efforts to validate the
Resonance-based ReadiJet biofuel as a viable and sustainable option for the
aviation industry.


Resonance(TM) is a member of the mustard oilseed crop family, and was introduced
into commercial production in Canada in 2012.


Agrisoma Biosciences Inc., a long-time NRC partner, commercialized the oilseed
to provide the industry with a sustainable energy feedstock crop: a non-food,
industrial oilseed that is well-suited for production in semi-arid areas, making
it ideal for producers who can grow the crops on marginal land.


"NRC is helping Agrisoma complete the value chain for Resonance-based
alternative jet fuels," said Steven Fabijanski, President and CEO of Agrisoma.


"We are excited about the continued testing of Agrisoma's Resonance(TM) oilseed
feedstock by ARA/CLG and other strategic partners," stated Hugh Notman,
President and CEO of Calyx Bio-Ventures. "This real world demonstration in a
100% biojet fuel powered flight validates our feedstock as a leading alternative
fuel solution for the commercial and military aviation markets."
