"Half year GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer revenue growth of 8 percent is strong in a market where fertilizer sales have generally declined this year," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. "GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent, a unqiue product now being introduced, which both repels the animals from eating valuable landscaping and also fertilizes, is expected to add to the revenue increase in the second half of 2009."

Silver revenues for the quarter increased 92 percent and for the year increased by 144 percent on a 243 percent increase in ounces sold. A combination of sale of on site inventories and improved recovery technology is producing this growth.

Photo Services revenues were flat for the first half and down by 21 percent in the second quarter. Receipts of spent photoliquids were cut back in the second quarter as photo liquid volumes have been exceeding the quantities needed for GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer manufacturing.

Mining Technical Services sales declined, but are expected to increase in the second half as a result of new project work. This division is working with outside investors to form a new gold and minerals exploration company which will contract with the division for management and technical services. The division is expected to receive a significant equity ownership in the new company. Details will be announced in a subsequent press release. This division continues to advance its web based InsideMetals.com Gold Producer Stocks information portal: www.insidemetals.com. The recent strengthening of gold, silver, and base metal prices is generating increased interest in mining companies and minerals projects.
