Itronics Receives GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent Registration From the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
| Source: Itronics Inc.
RENO, NV--(Marketwire - March 27, 2008) - Itronics Inc. (OTCBB : ITRO ) (FRANKFURT : ITG )
(BERLIN : ITG ) today reported that its wholly owned subsidiary Itronics
Metallurgical, Inc. has received label registration for GOLD'n GRO Guardian
deer repellent from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
With notification of registration of GOLD'n GRO Guardian deer repellent,
registration statements will be filed in Nevada and Northeastern states
where the Company plans to start marketing the deer repellent. Plans are
being implemented for manufacturing, marketing, and sales launch in May,
2008.
"Receipt of this bio-pesticide label registration is the result of several
years of intensive, successful product development," said Dr. John Whitney,
Itronics President. "This opens another important avenue for internally
generated growth for Itronics, and represents a significant extension of
the Company's proprietary GOLD'n GRO nutrient delivery technology."
The GOLD'n GRO Guardian registration, manufacturing, and sales will expand
the GOLD'n GRO brand into another important market segment, which is
expected to further broaden the customer base and increase the rate of
sales growth. Earlier this year the Company completed a detailed deer
damage study which indicates that deer damage in suburban America is in the
$5 billion range and that sales of its GOLD'n GRO Guardian deer repellent
could top $200 million annually.
Itronics' continuing expansion is a result of years of research and
development that has made its innovative vertically integrated
photochemical recycling technology that completely converts the waste
stream to pure silver, and its high quality GOLD'n GRO brand of
environmentally compatible fertilizers a success.
