              DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND

BOULDER, Colo. June 6, 2005 - Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (Nasdaq:
BOOM), the world's leading provider of explosion-bonded clad metal plates and
associated services, today announced that the board of directors has declared an
annual cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend will be paid to
stockholders of record at the close of business on June 24, 2005.

Yvon Cariou, president and CEO, said, "DMC's long-term stockholders have
benefited from the record financial performance we have achieved in recent
quarters. Groupe SNPE, our majority stockholder, has informed us of its intent
to convert a $1.2 million note previously issued by the Company into 200,000
shares of DMC common stock. This debt conversion will reduce our term debt by
approximately 25% and further enhance our financial strength."

After the debt conversion transaction is completed later this month, Groupe SNPE
will own approximately 52% of DMC's shares.

"We are very pleased with our recent performance and remain fully committed to
the continued growth of our business," Cariou said. "As I have mentioned
previously, we see a broad range of expansion opportunities before us and
believe we are well positioned to pursue them."

At the Company's Annual Meeting held June 3, 2005, DMC stockholders approved the
election of all nominees to the board of directors. The nominees included Mr.
Bernard Zeller, who joins the board this year and is currently senior vice
president of strategy and development of Groupe SNPE.
