MagIndustries Corp. ("MagIndustries" or the "Company") (TSX:MAA) today announced
that it has filed an update to its National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report
entitled Update of the NI 43-101 Technical Report for MagMineral's Mengo Permit
Area, Kouilou Region, Republic of Congo (the "Technical Report") in respect of
the property owned by its 90% owned subsidiary MagMinerals Potasses Congo SA.
("MPC"), previously described in the Company's press release of November 14,
2013. The Technical Report relates to the geology and development of the
Company's proposed 1.2 million tonnes K60 product per annum Mengo Potash Project
in the Republic of Congo (the "Project"). The authors of the Technical Report
are EurGeol Dr. Henry Rauche, EurGeol Dr. Sebastiaan van der Klauw, and EUR ING
Ralf Linsenbarth of ERCOSPLAN Ingenieurgesellschaft Geotechnik und Bergbau mbH
(collectively "ERCOSPLAN"). 


The update announced today arises because during the preparation of the original
technical report incorrect information was provided to ERCOSPLAN with respect to
energy costs, a key input to calculating operating costs and therefore a
material factor in determining the economic merits of the Project. Specifically,
energy costs were overstated in the original technical report announced on
November 14, 2013 because of a double counting of the natural gas requirement
for process heat and on-site co-generation of electricity. On the basis of the
data then available operating costs before sustaining capital expenditures were
estimated to be US$109.81 per tonne of production. On the basis of the corrected
data operating costs are estimated to be US$75.97 per tonne. 


Estimated Operating Expenditures 

As reported in the Company's press release dated November 14, 2013, the annual
operating expenditures ("OPEX") for full production had been previously
estimated at US$131.8 million annually for the production of 1.2 mtpy of a K60
product. The corrected estimate of OPEX for full production is US$91.16 million
annually for the production of 1.2 mtpy of a K60 product. This equates to
approximately US$76/tonne of KCl. These operating costs include estimates for
labour, maintenance, power and steam generation, consumables, diesel, product
transport to port and indirect OPEX. Sustaining capital expenditures have been
estimated for the operation at US$4.6 million annually or approximately
US$3.83/tonne. 


Assuming a nominal discount rate of 10%, the economic analysis based on the
corrected OPEX estimate yielded a pre-tax Net Present Value (NPV) of US$1.607
billion; an after-tax project NPV of US$1.303 billion with an Internal Rate of
Return (IRR) of 24.4% before tax and 23.5% after tax; and a payback period
within 9 years of project start (or Year 8 of production), based on potash
prices of US$380/tonne FOB. These metrics were previously reported as an NPV of
US$1.263 billion before tax and US$1.002 billion after tax; and an IRR of 21.6%
before tax and 20.6% after tax; with payback achieved within year 10 of the
Project considering discounted cash flows. 


The Technical Report has been filed on www.sedar.com under the Company's
profile. Other than the information referred to above the Technical Report
remains unchanged from that which was announced in the Company's November 14,
2013 press release. This press release provides only a summary of the
information set forth in the Technical Report and readers should review the full
Technical Report for additional information. 


The authors of the Technical Report, EurGeol Dr. Henry Rauche, EurGeol Dr.
Sebastiaan van der Klauw, and EUR ING Ralf Linsenbarth of ERCOSPLAN are the
Qualified Perons with respect to the Technical Report and have reviewed and
approved the contents of this press release.
