"Our nine month GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer revenue growth is strong in a market where fertilizer sales for most fertilizer companies have sharply declined," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. "The Company recently announced that orders on hand in October were 33 percent greater than 2008 total fourth quarter sales. This is a solid indication of continuing growth for GOLD'n GRO fertilizer sales."

Silver revenues for the first 9 months increased 101 percent on a 136 percent increase in ounces sold. Full year 2009 sales are now expected to be up about 60 percent over 2008, with fourth quarter 2009 sales approximately equaling fourth quarter 2008 sales. A combination of sale of on site silver inventories and improved recovery technology is producing this growth.

Photo Services revenues were down 12 percent in the first 9 months because receipt of spent photoliquids was cut back in the second quarter. Photoliquid volumes are still exceeding the quantities needed for GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer manufacturing.

Whitney & Whitney Mining Technical Services sales declined in the third quarter and first nine months. This division is working with outside investors and has formed a new gold and mineral company called Auric Gold & Minerals, Inc. (Auric), majority owned by Whitney & Whitney, which is currently assisting Auric with the acquisition of a polymetallic gold project in Nevada. Auric is contracting with Whitney & Whitney for management and technical services.

Whitney & Whitney 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 mineral projects.
