                    DMC NOTICE OF ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS MEETING

(Boulder, CO - April 6, 2004) Dynamic Materials Corporation, (NASDAQ: BOOM),
"DMC", today announced that it will hold its Annual Stockholders Meeting in June
2004. In recent years, DMC has held its Annual Meeting in either September or
October. However, with a fiscal year end of December 31, the Company believes
that a June date would be more closely approximate to normal corporate
governance practices. There has been no change to the due date for delivery of
stockholder proposals to be included in the proxy statement for the 2004 Annual
Meeting.

Based in Boulder, Colorado, Dynamic Materials Corporation is a leading
metalworking company, and its products include explosion bonded clad metal
plates and other metal fabrications for the petrochemical, chemical processing,
power generation, commercial aircraft, defense and a variety of other
industries.
