biotechnology corporation and a rapidly expanding entrepreneurial organization.
As president of Monsanto Canada Mr. Penner grew sales and profits by 30%,

"It is with great excitement that I join as a member of Calyx Bio-Venture's
Board of Directors. The development of the proprietary crop "Carinata" is an
innovation in agriculture research that will benefit farmers and the
agricultural industry while bringing an alternative fuel to market that will
reduce carbon emissions. It is not often there is an industry game changer that
can benefit all along the value chain from the grower to the end user of the
biofuel. Calyx is a company that realizes the importance of reaching new heights
and I look forward to being part of the team that brings a green and sustainable
fuel to the world" commented Derek.


"We are delighted to have Derek join the Calyx board. Having previously served
as President of Monsanto Canada Derek gained unparalleled agriculture and
biotechnology experience. He is an effective leader who has monetized
opportunities and executed efficiently. His experience is vital in the
commercialization of Carinata in Western Canada and the northern United States"
commented Don Konantz, chief executive officer of Calyx."


Additionally, the company announces the resignation of Richard Whittall from the
board of directors. The Board thanks Richard for his ongoing contributions.


About Calyx

Calyx Bio-Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CYX) is an agricultural technology company
