ITRONICS GOLD'n GRO LIQUID FERTILIZERS REGISTERED FOR SALE IN SEVEN NORTHEASTERN STATES

RENO, Nevada, Febuary 8, 2005 – In a major strategic step to expand its business, Itronics Inc.

"Registration of the GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer products in these seven northeastern states is a major move forward in Itronics Metallurgical's business plan to geographically expand sales of the GOLD'n GRO fertilizers into all of the states where there is a viable market for these environmentally beneficial products," said Dr. John W. Whitney, Itronics President. "During the past two years we have test marketed the GOLD'n GRO products in the Retail Nursery and Landscape Maintenance markets in Rhode Island. We found that the products are competitive when purchased in bulk from the manufacturing plant in Reno, Nevada, and marketed by a qualified liquid fertilizer distributor in Rhode Island."

Itronics Metallurgical, Inc. is actively seeking qualified bulk liquid distributors to market the GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizers in the Agricultural markets in New York State and New Jersey, and expects to complete its plan for distribution of GOLD'n GRO products in the Wholesale and Retail Nursery, and the Landscape Maintenance markets, in the seven northeastern states during the first half of 2005.
