Tuesday January 17, 9:06 am ET

VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 17, 2006 -- Brian Nichols,

President of First American Scientific Corporation (OTC BB:FASC.OB -

News), is pleased to announce that JP Steelplantech Co. Ltd., our

exclusive licensee in Japan, has purchased the first KDS Micronex

System Model JS-6 pursuant to its License Agreement with FASC. The

equipment, along with FASC's installation crew, arrived in Yokohama

this week, and we are now preparing for its installation and

commissioning.

JP Steelplantech Co. Ltd. is a well-established engineering and

equipment manufacturing company owned by four major Japanese heavy

industry companies: Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), Hitachi Zosen

(HITZ), JFE Engineering (JFE) and Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI).

According to Brian Nichols, "This installation is the second step

for JP Steelplantech in their program to introduce the KDS

technology to Japan. We look forward to the completion of this

first-class facility and the credibility it will bring to both JP

Steelplantech and FASC. We are most fortunate to be associated with

a group such as JP Steelplantech Co. Ltd. who have the expertise and

the solid financial backing needed to achieve success in Japan."

Japan is one of three countries in Asia so far to license the KDS

technology. The others are Malaysia, where two KDS systems are now

in operation, and Korea, where we have received deposits on another

two.

First American Scientific Corp. develops, manufacturers, and sells

the KDS Micronex system, a patented disintegration system capable of

cleaning and reducing many types of waste materials to a fine dry

powder suitable for combustion or to be used as a nutrient-rich,

pathogen-free fertilizer.

Certain information and statements included in this release

constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the

Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
