CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 15, 2012) - Crown Point Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CWV) ("Crown Point" or "the Company") is pleased to provide this operational update and announce that the third successful completion (EV 33) of the ten well 2012 drilling program on its El Valle concession in the Golfo San Jorge Basin, Argentina has been successfully completed as an oil well.

El Valle - Golfo San Jorge Basin

New Completion

EV 33

Crown Point successfully completed a 3.0 meter thick section of the Cañadon Seco formation in the EV 33 wellbore. This zone was perforated and fractured and during a 24 hour swab test the well produced oil at a 24 hour average rate of 268 barrels of oil per day with an oil cut of 94%. A pressure transient analysis / well test interpretation has not been carried out on the well and therefore this data should be considered to be preliminary until such analysis / interpretation has been done. These test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.

New Cased Potential Multizone Oil Well

EV 32

Crown Point advises that the EV 32 well has been logged and cased as a potential multi-zone oil well. Crown Point is paying 100% of the costs to drill, case, complete and equip the drilling program and will have an 80% interest in production from the wells. Logs and samples taken while drilling indicate a total of 9 net meters of potential pay in the Cañadon Seco Formation.

Completion Summary to date

EV 34

Crown Point successfully completed a 5.0 metre thick section of the Cañadon Seco formation in the EV 34 wellbore. This zone was perforated and during a 26 hour swab test the well produced oil at a 24 hour average rate of 326 barrels of oil per day with an oil cut of 90%. A pressure transient analysis / well test interpretation has not been carried out on the well and therefore this data should be considered to be preliminary until such analysis / interpretation has been done. These test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.

EV-36

Crown Point successfully completed a 2.5 metre thick section of the Cañadon Seco formation in the EV 36 wellbore. This zone was perforated and immediately flowed oil. The well during a 24 hour evaluation period flowed oil through a 50 mm choke at a rate of 295 barrels per day with an oil cut of 97%. A pressure transient analysis / well test interpretation has not been carried out on the well and therefore this data should be considered to be preliminary until such analysis / interpretation has been done. These test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. The interval completed in EV 36 is directly correlative with intervals completed in EV 23, 26, 31, 33 and 34.
