Itronics Featured in Investor's Business Daily, a Premier News Publication for Wall Street Investors RENO, Nevada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 6, 2001--Itronics Inc. (OTCBB:ITRO - news), a world's leader in photochemical recycling, has been featured in a story in Investor's Business Daily, a premier financial newspaper which circulates daily to more than 311,000 investors in the world's stock markets. The story, by correspondent Jeffrey Kosseff, compliments Itronics for both recycling silver from liquid photographic waste and using the remaining material to manufacture environmentally beneficial fertilizers sold under the Gold'n Gro label. ``Other photochemical recyclers would be smart to follow Whitney's example,'' the article says. The Investor's Business Daily article details the history of Itronics, starting with the request in 1986 by Reno's sanitation department charging Dr. Whitney's company to develop a technology to reduce the amount of silver flowing into the city's sewage system. ``Dr. Whitney, who has a doctorate in mineral economics, patented a detoxification process to remove 99.9% of all silver from a photo lab's chemical solutions.....Because Itronics was the first in the area to develop a silver recycling method, its business boomed when stricter regulation went into effect,'' the article said. Investor's Business Daily reported that Dr. Whitney ``spent a year researching ways to recycle nonmetallic photo wastes. He discovered that many of the chemicals in fertilizer also are present in photochemical solutions. Dr. Whitney then spent $6 million and more than 10 years developing a method to refine the chemicals and turn them into fertilizer.'' ``We get paid to collect and transport and process the liquids, silver. Then we get paid for selling the fertilizer. I created a new revenue source,'' Dr. Whitney told the financial daily newspaper. Investor's Business Daily said Itronics is working on a process to turn its only remaining waste, glass slag, into decorative tile. ``We are pleased by this attention by a major publication and we look forward to continue to tell Itronics' innovative story to other major media outlets in the future,'' Dr. Whitney said. Itronics Inc. is one of Nevada's leading process technology development companies and a world leader in photochemical recycling. Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, it specializes in recycling technology development, photochemical recycling, silver refining, fertilizer manufacturing, and technical services for the mining and recycling industries.
