ITRO Itronics Inc (CE)

Itronics Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ITRO) (FRANKFURT: ITG) (BERLIN: ITG) reported today that its GOLD'n GRO fertilizer sales for April and May 2010 were up 20 percent over the same months in 2009. May sales were up 65 percent over May 2009.

GOLD'n GRO sales for the first five months of 2010 are up 1 percent and are the best ever in the Company's history for this time period. "The increase occurred despite very wet weather in the first three months of 2010 and demonstrates that sales growth is now back on track," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President.

"Fertilizer orders are expected to continue to be strong through June," said Dr. Whitney. "The spring season appears to be 6 to 8 weeks behind schedule, so sales could continue well into July."

Silver sales are still behind the same time period in 2009, but are now catching up with last year. The weather caused damage in the refinery has all been repaired and the refinery is now operating at full capacity. The high silver price and expected increases in output when the Stage 1 refinery expansion becomes operational are expected to boost sales strongly in the second half.

This technology has created a "Green Consumer Option" for photo and x-ray processors and "Green fertilizers" for horticulture and agriculture.
