Than Doubled in First Quarter With 127 Percent Increase
RENO,
Nev., April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ Itronics Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: ITRO; Frankfurt, Berlin: ITG) reported
today that bulk GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer sales by

127 percent compared to last year's first quarter, meaning
the sales more than doubled in this year's first three
months compared to last year.
"Mild
weather in the western U.S. in the first quarter and
demand for our new GOLD'n GRO products that have significant
benefits for the grower combined to produce the large
increase in sales," said Dr. John W. Whitney, Itronics

sales month we have had since we introduced these products
to the market."
"An
increase in the number of bulk liquid GOLD'n GRO products
being sold, and an increase in the number of distributor
stores selling GOLD'n GRO, is driving the sales expansion,"
Dr. Whitney said. "The GOLD'n GRO bulk liquid fertilizer
sales growth that is now underway is expected to continue
during the rest of 2004 and beyond."
