Itronics Receives GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent Registration From the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency


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.
