                    DMC BOARD OF DIRECTORS NAMES NEW CHAIRMAN

(Boulder, CO - June 14, 2004) Dynamic Materials Corporation, (Nasdaq: BOOM),
"DMC", today reported that the Company's Board of Directors named Michel Nicolas
as its new Chairman of the Board at a meeting held on Thursday, June 10. Mr.
Nicolas was recently named to the positions of Executive Vice President,
Chemicals for Groupe SNPE and Chairman and CEO of Nobel Explosifs France, a
Groupe SNPE subsidiary engaged in the manufacture and sale of industrial
explosives. Nicolas replaces Bernard Fontana who resigned as DMC's chairman and
as a DMC director in connection with the assumption of new responsibilities
within Groupe SNPE. Michel Nicolas has spent most of his career with Groupe SNPE
and, from 1996 until his latest appointment, was Senior Vice President,
Industrial Affairs and Development. Groupe SNPE owns a 54% interest in DMC

Schwartz, Mr. Bernard Fontana and Mr. Jacques Loppion. At the Board of Directors
meeting that followed the annual stockholders' meeting, both Mr. Fontana and Mr.
Loppion resigned as DMC directors. Mr. Loppion, who retired as Chairman and CEO
of Groupe SNPE in May, resigned for personal reasons. The Board has named Mr.
Yves Charvin to fill the vacant Board seat that resulted from Mr. Loppion's
resignation. Mr. Charvin is Legal Counsel for Groupe SNPE and previously served
on the DMC Board from September 2002 through December 2003.

Additionally, at the June 10 Board of Directors meeting, the Board re-elected
the following officers to continue in their current positions: Yvon Cariou,
