Itronics - A Creative Environmental Technology Company Investing in Itronics supports leading edge environmental technology development and commercialization that profitably: -eliminates liquid photographic waste -separates silver and gold from nutrient metals and minerals -improves agriculture and horticulture -maximizes the use of natural resources -produces a cleaner and greener environment

Itronics - Creative Environmental Technology Demetallizaiton of liquid photochemicals Silver Refining Technology 12 commercial GOLD’n GRO liquid fertilizers, 1 more under development. 1 biopesticide, GOLD’n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent, two more being prepared for registration. Iron, zinc, and sulfur leaching technology, under development. -Recover nutrient metals and minerals from IMI silver concentrates -Potential application for steel mill flue dusts - a huge potential market. -Potential for use to recycle silver-zinc batteries- an emerging potential market -Potential applications in mining Expand silver recovery and refining technology to manufacture Potassium Thiosulfate, a high value bulk fertilizer. Currently expanding fertilizer manufacturing and silver refining capacity. Will start manufacturing GOLD’n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent in May 2008.

Itronics’ Intellectual Property Intellectual Property Entry Barriers EPA, State, County, and City hazardous waste permits required 19 years R & D and cumulative expenditure of $30 million to create proprietary technology 10 years to create a fully commercial fertilizer - 5 years to perfect product. - 5 years to commercialize years of evaluation before obtaining clearance to use on food crops. - Each fertilizer must be registered in each state where it is sold. Liquid fertilizer distribution is specialized and requires long lead time to establish

Itronics - Award Winning Creative Environmental Technology John Whitney was selected as Nevada’s Inventor of the Year One of five finalists for the 2001 Kirkpatrick Chemical Engineering Award Awarded second place (IChemE), Worldwide Environmental Awards in London, England Awarded USA Gold at the International Green Apple Environmental Awards in London, England GOLD'n GRO® was named one of the top 10 new technologies representing the best of agricultural innovation by the Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers Itronics named International Green Hero by the Green Organization, London, England 2007-Dr. John Whitney named “Entrepreneur of the Year,” Agriculture/Environment by The Business Report of Northern Nevada, published by the Reno Gazette-Journal

Reno Facility Capacity 35,000 square foot structure on 3.5 acres 7,500 ton annual current fertilizer capacity Capable of producing 36,000 tons of fertilizer Commenced operations in January 2000

Itronics’ Business Model Vertical integration generates three basic revenue streams: Paid to transport and process photowaste $$$$$$$$$$ Recover, refine, and sell the silver on the open market $$$$$$$$$$ Manufacture and sell GOLD’n GRO® fertilizers and Guardian –Base liquid$$$$ –Chelated Micro-nutrients$$$$ –Chelated Multi-nutrients$$$$ –Developing GOLD’n GRO® Guardian, a deer repellent fertilizer -future $$$$$

Itronics’ Markets Itronics Metallurgical, Inc Photochemical Processing Photo-by-product Fertilizer Manufacturing Silver Recovery and Refining Current Applications: Cotton Fruit and Nut Trees Grapes Vegetables Silver Sales Photography X-Ray Graphic Arts Motion Picture Micro Reproduction Miscellaneous Future Applications: Alfalfa Soybeans Corn (silage) Corn (grain) Nurseries Ornamental plants Timber seedlings

Itronics - Participating in the Digital Technology Revolution Image capture technology is changed –Digital capture now partially replaces film capture Kodak is no longer the dominant U.S. camera company Hewlett Packard, Sony, Motorola, Nokia, Cannon, Google, Yahoo, Shutterfly, and others have entered the industry Consumer use of returnable 35 mm cameras continues to grow - 5% growth in 2007 Image print technology is changing –Inkjet printing is being marketed to replace silver halide prints Consumers are taking more pictures and buying more silver halide prints using returnable, conventional, and digital cameras Silver halide photo prints are cheaper, better quality, and more permanent than inkjet photoprints; consumers continue to buy price and quality - 6% growth in 2007

Itronics’ Recycling Technology Advantages Achieves complete resource use!! Only fully permitted photo waste to silver and fertilizer facility in the United States!!! Removes 100% of silver and converts residuals to usable products. Environmentally compatible GOLD’n GRO fertilizer manufactured from liquid portion. Silver extracted from solid portion. Solid residual can be converted to non-toxic tile products.

The Markets -- Photowaste Services, Silver, and Fertilizer The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says silver bearing photoliquids were a 100 million gallon toxic waste stream in the U.S.; today 50 million. Management of silver bearing waste streams required under U.S. EPA RCRA because EPA data shows silver in water is toxic to fish. Regulatory authorities are encouraging development of recycling technologies that increase the amount of materials used beneficially.

Itronics Recycling Services Sales Model Selling photowaste management services –Retail services to all categories of small and large photo facilities in northern Nevada and California Selling Photochemical Waste Water Treatment Units and sludge processing service to large military, medical, and consumer photo processing facilities throughout the U.S. Wholesale photo liquid recycling to medium and large environmental service companies throughout the U.S. Two large service contracts signed in fall Negotiating additional agreements in 2008.

The Markets --Photowaste Services Silver and Fertilizer Using Itronics’ technology, 50 million gallons of waste photoliquids are sufficient to manufacture 100 million gallons of GOLD’n GRO fertilizers, or 500,000 tons 50 million gallons of photowaste contains about 10 million ounces of silver; today worth about $170 million Itronics estimates the market targeted for its services and products is approximately $1 billion in the U.S. The total fertilizer market in the U.S. is 50 million tons, a market of approximately $18 billion

Itronics’ GOLD’n GRO® Fertilizer Advantages GOLD’n GRO is priced to compete with existing fertilizers making it cost effective for the farmer GOLD’n GRO is 1.5 to 3 times more effective than other products –More economical for farmer because less fertilizer is needed Crop production is increased by up to 40% Environmentally friendly - reduced fertilizer requirement decreases - surface run-off - soil accumulation - risk of groundwater pollution
