GOLD'n
GRO Guardian Deer Repellent, Unique Product to Attack Multi-Billion
Dollar Problem, Now Available in Three States
RENO, Nevada, June 24, 2008 -- Itronics Inc. (OTCBB: ITRO; Frankfurt
and Berlin Stock Exchanges: ITG) today reported that individuals
and businesses in Nevada, Utah, and Rhode Island can now purchase
directly from Itronics Metallurgical, Inc. GOLD’n GRO Guardian
Deer Repellent, a unique product that repels (but doesn’t
harm) the animals while fertilizing the plants. The product can
be purchased by calling 1-800-368-1865, the toll-free number for
Itronics’ wholly owned subsidiary.
Registration is expected in Massachusetts in July,
in New York in August or September, and is pending in Alabama, Delaware,
Iowa, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. “This product
needs to be registered in a state before residents can purchase
it. We are publishing this update in response to numerous requests
from potential customers,” said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics
President.
Due to requests for smaller quantities of GOLD’n
GRO Guardian Deer Repellent, the Company has adjusted its sales
introduction plan to provide a one gallon spray kit for smaller
users and for evaluation by larger potential users. Itronics Metallurgical
is planning to sell the GOLD’n GRO Guardian in a two-part
package consisting of GOLD’n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent and
GOLD’n GRO 8-8-8 +4%S liquid fertilizer. Initially two sizes
of spray kit will be offered, a one gallon kit, and a 600 gallon
kit. This will make it convenient for potential customers to do
evaluation and testing, followed by conversion to commercial applications.
Itronics plans to add a four gallon spray kit in the next quarter.
Itronics Metallurgical is planning to sell GOLD’n
GRO Guardian Deer Repellent 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. The Company has arrangements in place
to start trial sales in Utah. The Company has received numerous
expressions of interest from potential users for trials in northern
Nevada and in Rhode Island.
GOLD’n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent is registered
for use on non-food crops, landscape plants, and non-bearing trees
and vines. GOLD’n GRO Guardian is a systemic product and the
treatment lasts up to three months. It protects the plants without
harming the deer.
“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.
GOLD’n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent is a direct extension of
the GOLD’n GRO technology and opens up a large new market
segment for the Company’s products,” Dr. Whitney said.
