            DFW HOMELAND SECURITY ALLIANCE BUILDS A TEAM OF COMPANIES
                    TO BRING NATIONAL SECURITY HOME TO TEXAS


Richardson, TX - The Dallas Fort Worth Homeland Security Alliance (DFWHSA)
announces the formation of a partnership represented by Dallas Fort Worth (DFW)
Metroplex companies and agencies to pursue Homeland Security contracts with
HiEnergy Technologies, Inc., an entrepreneurial California based sensor and
detection technology company. The DFWHSA and Lockwood Greene, who are leading
the initiative, view this project with HiEnergy as a business model template
forerunner for future successful partnerships where companies combine their
expertise to create and expand profitable business markets. The goal of this
project is to establish manufacturing and business channel opportunities in the
DFW area for HiEnergy's products.

"Each member of the project was carefully selected to participate based on their
marketing, business experience and technology strengths," notes Executive
Director for the DFWHSA, Susie Dodson. "The project required the combined
expertise of each of the participating companies and organizations to entice
HiEnergy to consider manufacturing their commercial explosive and chemical
detection product within the DFW Metroplex."

HiEnergy's technology and applied applications are state-of-the-art. The
commercialization of the technology that has been tested and produced will allow
the partnership to consider marketing the product to a variety of industries
such as transportation security including land, sea and air, agricultural and
biomedical. Each participating member will work with HiEnergy, federal and state
officials and the DFWHSA to bring this project to fruition. The benefits of this
type of business model include economic development and tax revenue for the
state of Texas, the creation of jobs, the development of Homeland Security
solution products and the building of partnerships between companies that share
loyalties to the same municipalities and regions while developing their business
growth strategies.
