ITRONICS ANNOUNCES DEVELOPING A
BREAKTHROUGH, GOLD'n GRO MULTI-NUTRIENT LIQUID
FERTILIZER
Essentially All Nutrients Plants
Need
Enormous Potential for Growing
Crops
RENO, NV -- August
23, 2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Itronics Inc. (OTC:ITRO)
today reported that it has begun formulation development for a new
nutritionally complete liquid multi-nutrient GOLD'n GRO fertilizer
that contains essentially all the nutrients that a plant needs to
grow and be healthy.
The new
fertilizer, made possible by the Company's Advanced Nutrient
Transfer Technology (ANT Technology), contains nitrogen, phosphate,
potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, sulfur, and zinc,
and has the targeted formulation GOLD'n GRO 12-1-5 with 2% Ca, 1.0%
Fe, 1% Mg, 0.1% Mn, 2% S, 0.5% Zn, and trace amounts of copper,
boron, and molydenum.
A
stable liquid formulation with such a high and relatively complete
nutrient package was not previously possible due to significant
chemistry technical barriers. This new technology is a "break
through" technology achievement, and for the first time will
provide farmers, nursery growers, turf growers, golf courses, and
home gardeners the opportunity to use an affordable, complete
liquid fertilizer for growing their crops. Severe soil
nutrient deficiencies can still be corrected by single nutrient
fertilization. The potential for crop improvement using this
approach is enormous.
Due to
the ANT Technology, the nutrients are expected to be readily
available to the plant roots when applied to the soil with drip or
micro-sprinkler irrigation, or other methods. Agronomists
know that many crops suffer from hidden nutrient deficiencies and
from deficiencies that cannot be cost effectively remedied by
single nutrient fertilization. They also know that soils
worldwide are being depleted of their nutrients. Having a
multi-nutrient liquid fertilizer that contains most of the needed
plant nutrients in a stable, readily available form has the
potential to improve crop growth, health, and yields by eliminating
hidden nutrient deficiencies and to replenish the broad nutrient
content of soils that are currently being depleted.
A key
aspect of this new formulation will be affordability, made possible
by availability of a new multi-nutrient raw material source being
developed by Itronics.
Itronics' new Rock Kleen Technology being developed to process
spent mine tailings is demonstrating the ability to recover
nitrogen, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sulfur,
and zinc from gold/silver mine tailings. Rock Kleen
processing requires regular removal of a small percentage of the
liquid chemistry being used, called a 'bleed stream', which is
replaced by new chemistry to prevent the buildup of
impurities. The bleed stream is removed after all the
non-nutrient metals have been recovered, making this multi-nutrient
liquid highly suitable for use as a raw material for manufacturing
the fertilizer. Once a Rock Kleen operation is established,
the amount of new liquid needed, and the amount of bleed stream
liquid will be stable quantities on an ongoing basis.
The
Company created the technology for this by developing the ability
to demetallize spent silver-bearing photographic liquids and to
formulate them for use as a raw material in the manufacture of the
GOLD'n GRO fertilizers. The ANT Technology is a direct result
of this. The 'Award Winning' GOLD'n GRO fertilizers have been
proven environmentally clean, safe, and effective over 30 years of
field testing and commercial use on a wide variety of field,
vegetable, tree, and vine crops, turf farms and golf courses, and
on home lawns and gardens. They have consistently
demonstrated the ability to improve crop quality and yield.
The new
Rock Kleen bleed stream liquid is expected to become available in
large volume from each Rock Kleen project that is developed.
Each new Rock Kleen project will expand the raw material supply by
a measured amount. Fertilizer consumers will be able to look
forward to a large and measured and expanding supply of GOLD'n GRO
multi-nutrient fertilizers as the emerging Rock Kleen technology is
applied to new projects. Gold/silver mining is a worldwide
activity as are tailings from the mining. The Rock Kleen
Technology is expected to be useable to process gold/silver mine
tailings regardless of where they are located, meaning that the raw
material over time would become available on a broad geographic
basis.
Rock Kleen is a revolutionary, emerging
technology that recovers residual gold and silver, base and ferrous
metals, nutrient minerals, and industrial minerals from 'sub-ore
grade' gold/silver mine tailings. The Company believes that
many of the gold/silver deposits worldwide have similar geochemical
systems. Rock Kleen technology has the potential to expand
the supply of important raw materials and to significantly improve
mining environmental compatibility by utilizing spent "sub ore
grade" mine tailings that presently are managed by mining
companies, after mining has stopped, to maintain long term
environmental safety. Mining companies are under
increasing pressure to clean up their tailings. Rock Kleen is
emerging as a tailings processing option that mining companies
should now consider.
"We
would like to thank our investors for their continued support,
"said Dr. John Whitney, Founder and President. "It is now
becoming clearer how our portfolio of 'Zero Waste Energy Saving
Technologies' can make the world cleaner and greener, while the
Company continues its drive to profitability."
