("MAST") is pleased to announce it has executed a Joint Product Development Agreement (the "Agreement") for $1,800,000 USD. In addition to work already underway over the last year, the new Agreement moves this project from the development phase to the pre-production phase.

The contracted scope of work involves application of MAST's patented sensor platform technology and innovative use of MAST's engineered nanoparticles in oil and gas production.
