Augusta Industries Inc. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:AAO), a developer and
marketer of patented non-intrusive sensing systems, is pleased to announce that
its wholly-owned subsidiary FOX TEK Canada Inc. ("Fox-Tek"), has entered into a
contact with the highly respected oil and gas company Equion Energy Limited
("Equion") (www.equion-energia.com), for the sale of two (2) of Fox-Tek's
Electric Field Mapping ("EFM") systems. Equion will commence using the EFM
systems in its field operations located in Colombia, South America in order to
validate the effectiveness of its existing mitigation programs at two separate
key locations.


The EFM systems will be used in the monitoring of potential internal wall loss
on two separate locations. The two continuous systems will wirelessly send their
data to Fox-Tek's Chicago based data vault where the data from both sites will
be analyzed and presented to the client via a secure web portal. Over time, the
data will be correlated with other data to understand better the integrity of
the two monitored locations and, more importantly, to validate the existing
mitigation program.


The transaction with Equion came about due to the interaction between Equion's
senior staff and Ing. Edgardo Romero, Fox-Tek's Director of Sales - South
America.


"The corporation has always believed that having a full-time engineer to cover
the South American market would accelerate its sales cycle and offer better
service to our clients," commented Allen Lone, the President and CEO of the
Corporation. "The transaction with Equion came about because of the quick
response of both our Director of Sales and Equion. We look forward to other
projects such as this one, as the market is large in South America to monitor
both wall loss in various pipes and vessels and pipeline bending. We also
believe that our full-time engineer will help advance discussions we are having
with other large organizations in the Columbia and other neighboring countries
on a number of non-intrusive monitoring projects."
