FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTERNATIONAL AMERICAN TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES HAMMONDS’ APPROVAL AND INITIAL ORDERS FOR TRUCK MOUNTED INJECTION SYSTEMS IN CANADA

Houston, Texas – May 8, 2007 International American Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: IMTG), announces that the Hammonds companies, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, have received approvals and initial orders for Hammonds’ transport mounted injection systems.

Carl Hammonds, President of the Hammonds companies stated that "after, over a year of extensive field testing, the Canadian government and major oil companies have approved Hammonds’ design for installation into additional bulk transports. Hammonds’ unique injection system is capable of selectively injecting dye into multiple fuels as the product is delivered to retail and industrial user locations. This eliminates the need for bulk suppliers to have two separate fleets of trucks, one for dyed and one for non-dyed product. In the past, some marketers have had to load trucks alternately with dyed or non-dyed product in order to make deliveries, since the use of fuel for on-road and off-road applications carry different tax liabilities to the end-user. The initial group of Hammonds’ injection systems will be installed within the next ten weeks. We expect that future orders for this technology in the United States and Canada will be from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000. An additional order is pending from a major truck manufacturer that would bring the total for this first round of equipment to $345,000".

Mr. Hammonds further stated that "this represents a significant new area of business for Hammonds and its exclusive Canadian representative, National Energy Equipment, Inc. Hammonds’ new injection system saves its fuel distributor customers the costs of additional trucks and delays, reducing operating expenses. Our initial injection systems are being delivered for service in western Canada and we believe that they will be adopted throughout Canada in the future. Hammonds’ new technology is based on a proprietary system design that is unique because it is capable of accurately dispensing and measuring extremely small quantities of fuel dye, an essential feature in serving the motor and aviation fuel industries. Hammonds specializes in accurately dispensing all kinds of motor and aviation fuel additives as well as disinfectants for every phase of the water treatment industry". Hammonds had previously installed over $1,000,000 in terminal equipment also used for fuel dye injection in Canada.

"These latest approvals and orders for Hammonds’ products and systems evidences the ability of the Hammonds companies to offer diverse lines of products receiving market acceptance, thereby assuring the long term growth potential of our company", said Mr. Hammonds.
