FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. and RENO, Nev., Feb. 9, 1999 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Dick Davis Digest, one of the oldest and most prestigious investment newsletters, in its February edition has featured two recommendations on Itronics Inc. (OTC BB: ITRO), one by Gold Resource & Environmental Stocks and the other by Skip Nordstrom's Growth Stock Newsletter. Itronics was one of only three stocks under $1 featured in the publication.
In an Editor's Note, the Dick Davis Digest said the three stocks "offer grand-slam potential at the price of above-average risk. As such, be sure you fully understand--and are willing to undertake--such high risk before you invest in them."
Itronics Metallurgical, a wholly owned subsidiary of Itronics, Inc., Reno, NV, is the only company in the world with the technology to completely recycle used photochemicals, converting them into a top-rated, environmentally sound fertilizer and extracting the silver for commercial uses. Itronics' technology allows the recovery of virtually 100 percent of the heavy metals from used photographic chemicals. It is estimated that more than 100 million gallons of photographic wastes are generated in the U.S. every year.
Itronics utilizes the second largest fertilizer market firm in the U.S. to aggressively sell its product. The recycled silver is sold to major users of this precious metal.
Itronics also recently announced that Whitney & Whitney, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, has initiated a long-term research and development project to replace the use of cyanide in the extraction of metals from silver/gold and gold/copper ores. The new leaching technology, which will protect the environment from the potentially harmful effects of cyanide, is being developed utilizing the same technology as Itronics' proprietary photochemical recycling process.
The Dick Davis Digest, published every two weeks, provides serious investors with a timesaving, cost-effective overview of the market. It is the investment newsletter of choice for investment professionals, as well as individual investors.
