Itronics Announces Discovery of Surface High Grade Zinc-Lead-Silver Mineralization at Its Auric Fulstone Copper Gold Project - Seite 2

One outcrop sample taken at the second location contained, 10.6 percent zinc, 1.8 percent lead, and 0.35 ounces of silver per ton. Another grab sample taken from another outcrop about 200 feet from the first sample contained 2.0 percent zinc, 2.5 percent lead, and 1.33 ounces of silver per ton. The samples contain anomalous molybdenum. The zinc, lead and silver content of these samples could be economically attractive if future drilling can identify sufficient near surface tonnage to make mining worthwhile.

Because of the favorable geology, geochemistry, and geophysics at the two sample locations and along the fault line between the two sample locations, the Company believes there is potential for a large tonnage of near surface high grade zinc-lead-silver mineralization. Additional detailed sampling, geological mapping, and geophysics studies need to be completed to further delineate this anomalous area and to provide the information to support drilling. The Company plans to do further mapping and sampling in this anomalous area as funds permit.

The market prices for zinc, lead, silver, copper and gold are expected to stay strong in future years. Zinc prices are expected to strengthen in the second half of 2015 and to remain strong due to lack of new large zinc mine developments.

Sixty-two percent of the outstanding shares of Auric Gold & Minerals are owned by Whitney & Whitney, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Itronics Inc. Entities that may have an interest in participating in the development of the Auric Fulstone Project should send their inquiries to www.Itronics.com, attention Whitney & Whitney, Inc.
