TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 01/13/15

Augusta Industries Inc. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: AAO), a developer of patented non-intrusive sensing systems, is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary FOX TEK Canada Inc. ("Fox-Tek") has received a contract to design, manufacture and install two (2) electric field mapping corrosion monitoring systems (an "EFM System") to monitor assets for one of Saudi Arabia's major oil and gas integrated producers.

The FOX-TEK's engineering team has worked closely with their counterparts in Saudi Arabia to ensure that the laboratory work completed at the client's research and development labs would lead to a successful field system. The client has recognized the Corporation's and Fox-Tek's capabilities in delivering customized solutions and the usefulness of the EFM Systems in the monitoring of its assets.

"The sale of the EFM Systems to the client would not have been possible without the combined effort of the engineering team at Fox-Tek and our Saudi Arabian partner's team at Zamil Commercial Division," said Allen Lone, President and CEO of the Corporation. "With the successful completion of these EFM Systems, the Corporation is anticipating a wider acceptance of its EFM technology throughout the Middle East."

It is anticipated that the EFM Systems will be commissioned by the end of the first quarter 2015.
