Crown Point continues with its 100% Success with New Flowing Oil Well at El Valle in Argentina 

September 12, 2011

TSX-V: CWV: Crown Point Ventures Ltd. (“Crown Point” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed EV 27 which is the fifth well of the 2011 drilling as a successful flowing oil well. To date this year, the Company has drilled, cased and completed five wells as successful oil wells at the El Valle field in the San Jorge Basin in Southern Argentina. Since commencing drilling operations at El Valle, the Company has drilled and completed eleven wells with a 100% drilling and completion success rate.

EV 27 Fifth Successful Completion in 2011 Drilling Program

Crown Point successfully completed a 5.0 metre thick section of the Cañadon Seco formation in the EV 27 wellbore. This zone was perforated and fracture stimulated. The well during its evaluation period flowed oil with a 90% oil cut at a 24 hour extrapolated rate of 240 barrels per day of oil.

Drilling Plans 2011-2012

This drilling program is part of a 20-25 well program to be conducted at El Valle over the next 20 months. Crown Point is planning to drill two to four more wells at El Valle prior to year end. At Cañadon Ramirez the Company plans to drill 2-5 wells on its 100% interest exploitation concession over the next 12 months and one 50% interest well at Laguna de Piedra in the first or second quarter of 2012. At Cerro Los Leones, Crown Point anticipates receiving the required environmental permits in the near term and plans to commence the shooting of the 3-D and 2-D programs shortly after receiving these permits. The completion and interpretation of the seismic program is expected to be followed by a 2-5 well 50% interest program in 2012.
