RENO, NV--(Marketwire - July 7, 2010) - Itronics Inc. (
Whitney & Whitney identified the polymetallic gold project and agreed to help Auric Gold & Minerals acquire the highly prospective mineral property, now encompassing 3,000 acres. The land acquisition is being accomplished by staking and registering lode mining claims on Federal lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
"The Auric polymetallic gold project is proving to be very timely," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics founder and president. "In a press release we issued on September 3, 2009, we stated that 'there is a rapidly expanding move worldwide to invest in and acquire mineral resource assets.' Since that time interest in gold and mineral properties worldwide has increased and the prices of mineral commodities including gold and silver continue to increase."
"Political uncertainties are increasing as well, with even safe countries such as Australia making proposals to impose huge increases in mining taxes. Because of this, Nevada, the world's fourth largest gold producer, is recognized as one of the safest states in the world for minerals' investment and is attracting mining companies from all over the world. The Auric polymetallic gold project is in an area where several international mining companies are actively staking claims or acquiring positions in existing projects," Dr. Whitney explained.
Auric is a majority owned affiliate of Whitney & Whitney, Inc. and was formed to acquire multi-mineral (polymetallic) gold properties, and to strategically invest in Junior Gold and Minerals Companies that provide the opportunity to develop and commercialize environmentally friendly polymetallic gold projects. Further updates will be issued as the project advances. Project details will be published once property acquisition is complete.
