NEWS RELEASE
Wednesday August 9, 2006
IHI Awarded Contracts for Oil Sands Projects Valued at C$25 million

Vancouver, British Columbia - Wednesday August 9, 2006, 6:30 am PST

International Hi-Tech Industries Inc. (IHI) (TSX-V:IHI; OTCBB:IHITF)

IHI is pleased to announce that it has been awarded contracts for various design-build projects for a leading participant in the oil sands industry in Northern Alberta, Canada. Contracts were awarded to IHI for all of the bids in which it participated.

"We are especially pleased to have been awarded these contracts so that we can demonstrate the attractiveness of our innovative building technology in Northern Alberta Canada, where one of the world's largest construction contracts is underway," said President Roger Rached.

The contracts, valued at over $25 million, consist of: a design-build, Blast Resistant Plant Offices Building; Main Warehouse Facilities, covering a Heavy-Load High Ceiling Main Warehouse; Cold-Storage Building; Explosion Resistant Chemical Building; a Lay Down Area; and, most importantly, a unique two storey Skills Development Centre.

The projects, which will be completed under the supervision of IHI, will be delivered to IHI's client, on a turnkey basis, between December 2006 and May 2007. IHI has negotiated and posted the necessary delivery guarantees to the satisfaction of its client.

IHI has started the permit, design and shop drawings processes, utilizing newly advanced manufacturing details to optimize its current manufacturing capabilities. IHI has increased its staff and production personnel by approximately 35% over the last two weeks and plans to ultimately increase those staffing levels by up to 200% over the next three months.

IHI is very proud that its superior structure system is not only adaptable to difficult construction settings and requirements, but is also cost effective. IHI believes that these two attributes were recognized by its client in connection with the decision to award the contracts to IHI.

International Hi-Tech Industries Inc. is a company whose principal business is the development and commercialization of a new building technology in Canada, and internationally through its subsidiary, IHI International Holdings Ltd. To date, IHI's building technology, which is held under a licence, has attracted interest from more than 65 different countries worldwide.
