RENO, NV--(MARKET
WIRE)--May 5, 2008 -- Itronics Inc. (OTC BB:ITRO.OB - News) (Frankfurt:ITG.F
- News) (Berlin:ITG.BE - News) today reported that its wholly-owned

York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.
Midwest

"GOLD'n
GRO Guardian Deer Repellent can be sold in states in which it is
being registered and, in each of these states, deer do major damage
annually. We plan to add additional states after we establish sales
in the targeted states," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President.
"We have had numerous requests from potential customers about
the products availability. Deer damage in suburban America is in
the $5 billion range, according to an internal, detailed Itronics
study, making the potential for this product enormous."
Itronics
Metallurgical will sell the unique product to Landscape Maintenance
businesses that have licensed pesticide spray divisions and to other
business that are licensed for spraying pesticides. Sales will also
be made to plant and tree nurseries in the listed states and to
other customers. The product does not harm the deer and fertilizes
at the same time.
GOLD'n
GRO Guardian Deer Repellent is registered for use on non-food crops,
landscape plants, and non-bearing trees and vines. Some soybean
seed and corn seed growers have expressed interest in testing the
GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent on seedlings to protect them
from foraging deer, which do major economic damage. Itronics Metallurgical
plans to evaluate these potential applications for commercial viability
as it moves forward because these would be large acreage uses. GOLD'n
GRO Guardian is a systemic product and the treatment lasts up to
3 months.
Itronics
Metallurgical is planning to sell the GOLD'n GRO Guardian as a two-part
package consisting of the repelling component and GOLD'n GRO 8-8-8
+4%S liquid fertilizer. Initially three sizes of spray kit will
be offered, a 4 gallon kit, a 12 gallon kit, and a 600 gallon kit,
making it convenient for potential customers to do evaluation and
testing, followed by conversion to commercial applications.
