"Much of each year's sales for the last three years has been repeat business, which is very positive," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. "Overall GOLD'n GRO sales growth for the full year reflects expanding grower demand for our fertilizers."

The Company expects to achieve further GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer sales growth in 2008 as a result of expansion of bulk blends for application through drip irrigation systems. Increasing water shortages are causing California farmers to convert their fields to drip irrigation which uses less water to produce a crop. The GOLD'n GRO fertilizers are being used by an increasing number of growers, because the fertilizers work well in drip irrigation by reducing chemical precipitation in the lines that causes plugging of the drippers, while at the same time producing measurable fertilization response in the crops.

Silver sales for the quarter and for the year decreased due to refinery shut down for part of the first quarter while waiting for the operating permit for the new air scrubbing system, and due to external power supply problems in the second, third, and fourth quarters. Two pieces of equipment needed to expand silver output were received early in January and, after installation, are expected to make it possible to expand troy ounces of silver produced in 2008. Increased silver ounce output combined with sharply increased silver prices is expected to produce a major increase in silver sales in 2008.

"The Company expects to sell at least one Photochemical Concentrator in 2008, and to acquire additional supplies of used photochemicals for processing into GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer base liquids. This will expand photochemical volumes in 2008 sufficient to provide raw materials needed to support fertilizer sales growth, while at the same time producing further meaningful growth in revenues," Dr. Whitney said.

Mining Technical Services sales increased in the fourth quarter while this division continues to advance its web based InsideMetals.com Gold Producer Stocks information portal: http://www.insidemetals.com. Visitor traffic on the InsideMetals.com web page is increasing and the site is now generating subscription income. This increased activity is primarily due to the high prices of gold and silver which are driving more and more investors to examine gold and silver mining stocks as investments. Whitney & Whitney, Inc. is also receiving inquiries about consultant services and has begun selectively accepting mining technical services consulting assignments which will contribute to revenue growth in 2008.

The Company filed a registration application for GOLD'n GRO Guardian deer repellent in the fourth quarter. The Company has been told that the registration is on a path to be issued towards the end of the second quarter of this year. If the registration is received, the Company expects that sales could begin late in the third quarter. This will be a new revenue source for the Company and internal market studies suggest that sales of this product could grow quite rapidly. The gross profit margin for this product line is about twice that of the GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizers. Because of this, GOLD'n GRO Guardian deer repellent fertilizer sales are expected to rapidly produce a significant increase in the Company's profitability.
