Celeste Reports Positive Drilling Results

Celeste Copper Corporation (TSX VENTURE:C) ("Celeste" or the "Corporation") is
pleased to announce the results for two diamond drill holes that includes 0.505%
copper and 0.205 ppm gold over a core interval of 78.50 metres from its recently
completed diamond drilling program on the Negrita, Zappaler and Oro de Manto
mineral concessions located in the Cabeza de Vaca mineral district,
approximately 30 kilometres East from Copiapo, Chile. 


The main focus of the 2009 diamond drilling program was to test several areas of
widespread anomalous Induced Polarization chargeability, resistivity and
magnetic susceptibility responses (see News Release dated September 10, 2009). A
total of six holes were competed (2894 metres) during the drilling program.


Mr. Elmer Stewart, President and CEO of Celeste stated, "We are very pleased
with the grade and apparent thickness of the mineralization intersected to date.
These mineralized intersections supports Celeste's belief in the potential of
the Cabeza de Vaca district, for porphyry style copper-gold mineralization".


2009 Diamond Drilling Program

The weighted average grade of the mineralized intervals reported below was
estimated using a 0.05% copper cut-off grade. The apparent core length and
weighted average grades for the two diamond drill holes are set out in Table 1.

The intervals set out in the above table are not true widths.



DDH-01-09 was drilled below the Teta B tourmaline breccias and intersected a
mineralized section of medium grained weakly to moderately argillized quartz
diorite. The mineralized interval contains numerous thin crosscutting
tourmaline/chalcopyrite veining from 203.5 metres ("m") to 238.0 m and from
238.0 m to 282.0 m thin tourmaline-pyrite-chalcopyrite veins and disseminated
sulphides. The samples from the interval from 216.0 m to 221.0 m were assayed
for copper, gold and silver and are on average four times higher than the
average concentration for copper and silver over the mineralized interval. 


DDH-03-09 was drilled to test an Induced Potential chargeability anomaly located
below the Galleria tourmaline breccia. The mineralization in the interval 14.0 m
to 31.0 m occurs in a tourmaline breccias. This interval contains significant
gold and silver concentrations but highly variable (range from 9 to 4,300 parts
per million) copper values. The interval from 32.0 m to 48.0 m is a weakly to
moderately argillized quartz diorite that contains lower gold and silver
concentration but consistently higher copper values. The interval from 48.0 m to
75.0 m is the same quartz diorite as noted above with copper values ranging from
96 to 2,660 ppm. The interval from 75.0 m to 99.0 m is described as a granite
porphyry with copper values ranging from 214 to 1,450 ppm and averaging 748 ppm
copper. 


Diamond Drilling and Analytical Procedures:

The diamond drilling was completed using a standard HQ and NQ diameter core
barrels with the NQ core barrels being used where necessary. The cores were
split using a manual splitter and one half of the core was collected for sample
preparation and analysis and the other half is retained for future reference.
The sample intervals varied between one-half metre and one metre. 


Sample preparation was completed by ALS Patagonia S.A. ("ALS") located in
Coquimbo, Chile using the following procedure: Core samples are prepared using a
2 stage crushing on a jaw crusher to 70% passing 10 mesh screen. A 250 gram
sub-sample of the crushed material is pulverized to 85% passing minus 200 mesh
screen. The sub sample is rolled and homogenized. 


All samples are analyzed using the ME-ICP41 methodology. Samples with greater
than 10,000 ppm copper are re-analyzed using a multi acid leach (Cu-AA62) and
Atomic Absorption Spectrometry ("AAS"). 


Gold analyses are completed on a 30 gram sample (Au-AA32 methodology) using fire
assay and AAS. ALS has a 9001 International Standard Organization ("ISO") rating
and is independent of Celeste Copper Corporation.
