Itronics Inc. reported it has received a complete set of polymetallic assays on two tailings samples that were chosen to provide quantitative metal content information for two locations in the tailings pile on the mining claims at the Auric Fulstone project site in the Yerington Copper District near Yerington, Nevada. The samples were chosen to provide quantitative measurements of the metal and mineral content of the material at the two locations in order to determine whether there would be enough potentially economic metal and mineral content to qualify the material for use in Rock Kleen process testing. The results are very positive and show the presence of a high percentage of iron and smaller amounts of silver, copper, cobalt, and manganese (battery minerals) and magnesium and potassium (critical minerals). The samples also contain gold and trace amounts of rare earth elements, lithium, and other rare metals. An important purpose of this work is to establish a tailings supply to support an operational testing and production facility to demonstrate the technology. Successful results from testing the tailings on the Auric claims will mean that the Itronics Rock Kleen demonstration plant can proceed with zero dependance on another mining company for feed to the plant. Ultimately a portion of the facility would be configured to provide testing capabilities where potential customers for the technology would have the opportunity to have their tailings materials tested using the Rock Kleen Technology. The scale would be large enough to test Rock Kleen suitability for use at potential customer tailings locations. Itronics, through its subsidiary Auric Gold & Minerals controls the Auric Fulstone Project which is adjacent to the former operating Minnesota Mine, which started as a copper mine but was commercially operated as an iron mine from the late 1940's through the early 1960's. Some of the tailings and some of the mining waste generated by the iron mining operation are located on the Auric Fulstone Project mining claims and are now under the control of Auric Gold & Minerals. Itronics Technical and Administrative Services subsidiary, Whitney & Whitney Inc. will be leading the project development effort beginning with sampling and measurement of the tailings, to be followed by planning and engineering, construction, and early-stage operation. Itronics Metallurgical will be performing the test work that is required to advance the process development. The Company plans to use independent laboratories to perform the required analyses. This is a procedure the Company has always followed. In addition, any cyanide testing that may be required will also be performed by independent qualified laboratories.
