Fire-Resistant Building Materials Manufacturer Announces 272% Sales Volume Growth in Commercial Modular Sector and 20% Overall Growth for the Month Ended April 30, 2007

Watkins, MN; Vancouver, BC May 14, 2007 - International Barrier Technology Inc. (“Barrier”) (IBTGF: OTCBB; IBH: TSXV), a manufacturer of proprietary fire-resistant building materials, is pleased to report growth of 20% in overall Blazeguard shipments for the month of April.  For the month ending April 30, 2007 Barrier shipped 783,008sq.ft. of Blazeguard products into the building industry, generating $503,937 in sales revenue.  Sales revenue directly from the commercial modular sector increased 291% to $227,983, while volume shipped was up 272%.

Total sales volume shipped year-to-date is 17% higher at 7,369,500 sq.ft. than in the previous year.  Double digit growth continues. “The inventory of unsold homes in key sales territories for Blazeguard, particularly Florida, remains an impediment to meeting sales targets in the multifamily roof deck sector,” states Dr. Michael Huddy, CEO.  “Fortunately, our diversification into the commercial modular sector is enabling us to continue to grow in sales volume. Having continued success in the commercial modular sector says volumes about the importance of diversification in products and markets. Barrier’s success in growing market share in current geographies, as well as the developing markets of the Midwestern US, southern California, and Texas, is helping to position us to emerge from this cyclical slow-down in a strong position to grow and prosper”.
