Stock Market Alerts LLC: Investment Alerts for MTNA! June 8, 2006

Miami, FLA., Jun 08, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Stock Market Alert's performance stock list includes: Material Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MTNA), Martek Biosciences Corporation (NASDAQ: MATK), Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (OTC: UPZS), China Direct Trading Corp. (OTCBB: CHDT), Drake Gold Resources Inc. (OTC: DKGR).
Once again, Material Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MTNA) should be of interest to speculative investors. Yesterday after the stock markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that its patented metal fatigue detection solutions generated significant interest at the 24th International Exhibition of Railtrack Technology in Germany last week.

The news may get the attention of traders. MATECH's revolutionary Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) inspection system is the only non-destructive testing solution capable of finding growing metal cracks as small as 0.01 inches, information that can dramatically improve the ability of railroad engineers to prioritize repairs, reduce costs and ensure safety. The company's leading edge metal fatigue detection, measurement and monitoring solutions can accurately test the integrity of metal structures and equipment including bridges, railroads, airplanes, ships, cranes, power plants, mining equipment, piping systems and heavy iron.

In the recent past, MATECH has completed informal reviews of three bridges in Pennsylvania at the request of that state's Department of Transportation. The company also has exclusive rights to seven patents along with $8.3 million in already completed contracts from the U.S. Government for research, testing and validation of its innovative solutions.

The International Exhibition of Railtrack Technology provides a forum for decision-makers and experts worldwide to network and exchange ideas regarding the construction and maintenance of modern railroad systems. Last year the show hosted an estimated 23,000 attendees from more than 16 countries.

This should be a stock for speculative investors to watch. The company is receiving significant interest in its products from the industry where, according to the Association of American Railroads, major U.S. freight railroads will spend more than $8.2 billion this year laying new track, buying new equipment and improving infrastructure to improve safety and efficiency.

MATECH's proprietary EFS inspection system can also satisfy new welded rail safety improvements and requirements mandated by the $286 billion U.S. Transportation Bill (SAFETEA-LU) signed into law last fall. The legislation requires each railway track operator using continuous welded rail track to include procedures to improve the identification of cracks and improve the methods of inspection of joint bars in continuous welded rail.

MATECH CEO Robert M. Bernstein commented: "The International Exhibition of Railtrack Technology was a very successful event for our company. We were able to discuss the technical and economic benefits of our metal fatigue detection solutions with potential decision-makers, identify advantageous alliances and open up discussions with key organizations."

Mr. Bernstein continued: "Our innovative metal crack detection and monitoring technology generated a great deal of interest and received an excellent response during our meetings. We look forward to following up on the exciting opportunities we have identified."
