MTNA Continues to Gain Exposure: Presents Solutions at the 23rd Annual International Bridge Conference! June 14, 2006

Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are: Material Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MTNA), Tenaris S.A. (NYSE: TS), Alcan Inc. (NYSE: AL) and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (NYSE: FCX).

As Material Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MTNA) continues to issues press releases showing its progress towards expanding the company's technology, the stock may have the attention of aggressive investors and day traders this morning! Yesterday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that it is presenting its patented metal fatigue detection solutions at the 23rd Annual International Bridge Conference in Pennsylvania this week.

The news may have the attention of investors! The company, having already completed informal reviews of three bridges in Pennsylvania at the request of that state's Department of Transportation, has been invited to lead a technical presentation on the advantages of using its breakthrough Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor(TM) (EFS) to locate and measure growing metal cracks for the bridge owners and engineers, government officials and other key decision makers in attendance.

This could be great news for the company! Last year participants came from 47 states and 15 countries.

MATECH CEO Robert M. Bernstein commented: "The International Bridge Conference provides the perfect venue to demonstrate our innovative metal fatigue detection and monitoring technology for bridge engineers and officials who we believe need it most."

Mr. Bernstein continued: "The Transportation Equity Act set aside funds for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to test devices capable of finding growing cracks in bridges as small as 0.01 inches in length and also under the surface. Our EFS solution is the only non-destructive testing device able to find growing cracks that small."

Wall Street News Alert is continuing to place Aggressive Investors on alert to monitor the progress of Material Technologies! Interest in MATECH's EFS system has been increased by the recent $286 billion Federal Transportation Bill which allocated $5 million to help states evaluate nondestructive methods such as EFS to test growing fatigue cracks in steel bridges. The nation's aging bridge infrastructure system is a major cause for concern, with more than 100,000 of the 200,000 steel bridges in the U.S. classified as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete, according to the FHWA.

Prior to the latest press release, the stock closed yesterday at Ten cents a share.
