From what I have gleaned Itronics is holding RockKleen as a proprietary process rather than a patented process.
Itronics refers to RockKleen as a tailings cleaner;
Rock Kleen is a new addition to the Itronics Cleantech Materials Portfolio and was developed to turn tailings into valuable assets, instead of long-term liabilities; that is, the ability to make a profit while simultaneously cleaning the environment. When Rock Kleen is implemented it utilizes the whole resource, so nothing is wasted; in many cases 100 percent beneficial use is realized. RockKleen goes even further and neutralizes 100 percent of any residual cyanide, or sulfuric acid, used in original mining, thereby rendering tailings clean, just as nature intended.
But it does claim to be ready to be used in new mining; Rock Kleen processes tailings, plugs into existing projects, and can be used in new mining. Whether it is usable as a stand alone process in new mining is a question that Harpe and I discussed a while back. It seems to require cyanide as part of the new leach cycle.
Whether the industry will accept it or not is dependent on whether Itronics can prove the benefit. Getting the cyanide headache eliminated while still recovering residual precious metals would seem to be a no brainer.
Predicting revenues three years out is mere guess work unless and until RockKleen develops a track record of revenue and growth in revenue.
I've updated the intro box with links to a final PDF for RockKleen and a recent business profile PDF
Does anyone know if RockKleen is patented yet? Will it be a process or chemical patent? I couldn't find anything at the patent office. Cycladex advertises that it's a patented process.
Also, KamThio now known as RockKleen was once tested as a primary leaching technology. Anyone know the outcome? Was it not cost effective?
I love the 2025 revenue projections. Are they realistic? Is the belief that the industry will embrace the technology or fight it as a thone in their side. It would be nice if we could get the left to force it on the mining companies.
All feedback appreciated.
Well finally! Thanks Deri.
This is a major step for Rock Kleen to open the door to full scale commercial use.
Comstock with its mercury clean up and Cycladex with a clean leaching process are being joined by Itronics. These three processes are going to revolutionize the mining industry, each addressing and solving an ongoing problem without stepping on each others toes.
The potential for RockKleen to be adapted to the various mine tailings makes it extremely flexible, Itronics will need to increase their professional workforce to really take advantage of future needs. Might soon be time to develop an intern program with the School of Mines colleges.
$ITRO Itronics Begins Planning For Rock Kleen Project To Demonstrate Silver, Gold, Copper, And Iron Recovery Technology https://finance.yahoo.com/news/itronics-begins-planning-rock-kleen-103000449.html?.tsrc=fin-srch
Volume was about 1500, hard to pick up shares when they are being held with that tight grip :)
Thanks guys for lining me out. I try'ed to buy shares today @ the ask @ 12:30 and only partly filed. Must be holding on to shares with a tight grip. Maybe a good sign. Finally settled down.
Depending on context it means friends or persons (people). Here Peddler is saying when investors become aware of Itronics and its potential.
who or what is Peeps?
Glad to hear from you Peddler. Go ITRO!
Hey buddy. It’s been awhile Thanks for doing that ITRO is going to sky rocket when peeps discover it. I have steadily been loading up at this level. Dr Whitney is true north on his vision and it is starting to really take shape. This is so undervalued for what the company is positioned to do and the assets they own. Stock price is well below book value. Take care and go ITRO $$$
I moved the authorized and issued shares up in the INTRO box where it can more readily be seen when you open and view the Intro box. Previously you had to drill down past the officers mini bios.
I previously last updated it back in September when the former Moderator resigned and told one of us more or less regular posters to step up.
So I updated it for today, March 11, 2021. I will try and keep it updated when or if Itronics issues shares or makes other significant changes.
Look at https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/ITRO/security
It says "Transfer Agent Verified" which should mean that they got that number from the transfer agent. Since all shares get issued through that agent...

Well, if it is 20M then Ameritrade is the slow one. They show 2.0M
This however brings up a thorn in my side and that is a lack of transparency with ITRO. You would think that after being in business for as long as they have and with all the amazing zero waste technologies they have, their revenue streams would be through the roof by now and we would have moved off the Pink sheets as well. I give them credit for at least filing 8K's, but other than that I couldn't even tell you how many they employ, let alone who is on the Board of Directors, if there even is a Board of Directors. And share count, where does one even go to get an accurate share count?
I've been with this company off an on for maybe 16 years or so. There have been many false hopes and promising revenue streams along the way, as well as a MAJOR reverse stock split, etc. That hurt, ugh!
So why am I still here? Well, I'm hoping one of several things happen, such as the company is bought out by someone who will actually put more emphasis on revenue than R & D at this point. If that doesn't happen, then as I've mentioned before, I'd like to at least see Whitney relinquish the iron grip he's got on holding this company back and hire someone who will actually take this companies technology and run with it and sell, sell, sell!
What ITRO has should make us all rich and be a major game changer for several industries worldwide. I firmly believe this, especially with all the emphasis on clean technologies, recycling and how about all the grant money the US government wants to pile into green energy, etc. As if all that wasn't enough, we are on the cusp of a metal commodities bull market the likes we will likely only see in our lifetime. NOW is the time ITRO NEEDS to kick it into gear and sell, sell, sell what they have spent an exorbitant amount of years creating in R & D.
All that said, if there are 20M shares outstanding, I would greatly appreciate it if someone would tell me where to find such an accurate share count at this point. We'd all like to know what is going on. Thanks

Hey Chip, I may be a bit slow, but isn't the current share count closer to 20M vs 2M?
So, I went back and reviewed a few thngs worth mentioning. Recently when the price spiked it was due to overwhelming volume. I'm talking millions of shares traded, which wasn't dilution but rather demand. Someone or somebody's in my opinion must have gotten wind of something the rest of us haven't as of yet. But then again, check out this little bit of info that was released in ITRO's Feb. 17th news release:
"The Company also completed and announced its growth forecast which centers upon its 10 year business plan designed to integrate its Zero Waste Energy Saving Technologies and to grow annual sales from $2 million in 2019, to $140 million in 2025."
At 2M shares, the PPS currently has the company valued at about 2.3M, which is a little more than last years sales. However, if ITRO can pull off the growth they are predicting and do not dilute, then each share could potentially be worth roughly $70 a share by 2025. Thats $140M divided by 2M shares. Little wonder there was such a surge in buying.
Others thoughts?
Im lonely over here. Buyers are coming in at the ask, sellers are selling at the bid, and in some, selling lower then the bid. WTH? Opened higher,moved higher, then a sell comes in at the bid or less. Hoping this would of settled down by now. Time for some positive news from the company.
Just checking in, Mods need to keep active on the board.
Agree! So far the stock has settled down. Today! not to many downs, not to many ups. No buyer's,no seller's. The ball is in their court. Time will tell. Everything on hold.
I think they need to clear this up a little
Agreed.
Another company that experimented their product on the Comstock Minining site was Cycladex and they are already in progress. Processing in AZ and experimenting with pilot plants in Latin America and already have licensing agreements in both areas.
Itronics is moving along but doesn't seem to be as aggressive in getting RockKleen going as either Comstock with its Mercury Clean Up or Cycladex with its patented process.
It has as much potential for licensing with its cyanide cleaning as either of these but needs to get moving.
A third set of tests were completed to determine if residual silver and gold recovery using cyanide would be improved if the rocks were first leached using the Rock Kleen, then re-leached using cyanide. Unoptimized test results indicate that recoveries could be improved to the point that up to 90 percent of the residual silver and gold could be recovered. The cumulative results of all the Rock Kleen testing performed to date indicate that the Rock Kleen technology has a high probability to be technically and economically successful for processing silver/gold mine tailings..........Here! They are talking about tailing. Rock Kleen first, then re-lesching using cyanide. Then (maybe?) finish with Rock Kleen to neutralize the cyanide ???? In past PR they talked about Rock Kleen as a bolt on for leaching virgin ore. (Maybe) the same??? Rock Keen first, then cyanide, then finish with Rock Kleen to neutralize the cyanide? Either_ Or, If this could be improved to the point that up to 90 percent of residual silver and gold could be recovered that would be huge I think they need to clear this up a little.
Well the Jan 12 PR indicated that they were doing it the way you posted. The testing on virgin ore was from an earlier PR. So the Jan 12 post takes precedence. But the original goal was to clean up cyanide tainted piles with later PRs talking about using some combination of existing technology along with RockKleen.
So, for now, it is as you described. Cyanide and RockKleen both used to extract PM and RockKleen to remove the cyanide.
Seems like it isn't really a change in the original plan of cleaning tainted piles just introducing RockKleen sooner in the sequence so that the miner can recover a higher percentage of PM when initially heap leaching and immediately cleaning out the cyanide instead of letting the polluted piles sit with the cyanide getting into the environment.
They are still adjusting the plan and the technology.
Thanks! Must of slept in that day.
Harpe, Itronics has already tested it on virgin ore with satisfying results.
They've stated in the Jan 12 PR that The new concept was developed as an outgrowth of laboratory testing that was recently completed to evaluate the leaching capabilities of the Rock Kleen Technology. Several mining companies have inquired about gold recoverability using Rock Kleen. Testing has confirmed that Rock Kleen including conventional gold recovery technologies makes it possible to optimize recovery of both silver and gold. The new processing concept neutralizes cyanide after use and leaves the rock without cyanide residuals, making this an environmentally desirable process without the negatives normally associated with cyanide use. From this and earlier Press Releases I believe they can process virgin ore using cyanide along with RockKleen. However, they are still conducting tests looking for a way to make use of RockKleen technology without needing to use cyanide at all.
Being on the back burner, seems to me that it is likely getting ready to bring forward. LODE is making moves that have been totally unexpected and trying to anticipate the next move is a real challenge. But there is money to be made using RockKleen on the cyanide tailings, and CDG made a presentation to Noble Gold last month where he spoke about ESG standards. ESG refers to Environmental, Social and Governance standards. Eliminating the cyanide pollution while extracting precious metals is right on point and they will be bringing it, RockKleen, forward sooner rather than later.
Saildone.... What do you think about this statement? They are talking about tailings. You think it could be used on virgin ore? Something like leached with Rock Kleen first. Then Cyanide,Then finish with Rock Kleen to neutralize cyanide. A third set of tests were completed to determine if residual silver and gold recovery using cyanide would be improved if the rocks were first leached using the Rock Kleen, then re-leached using cyanide. Unoptimized test results indicate that recoveries could be improved to the point that up to 90 percent of the residual silver and gold could be recovered. The cumulative results of all the Rock Kleen testing performed to date indicate that the Rock Kleen technology has a high probability to be technically and economically successful for processing silver/gold mine tailings.
I agree! Being that both companies are located in Nevada.Close enough to be neighbors. That collaboration between ITRO,and LODE that was put on the back burner.It showed great promise. I wonder where they would be by now if that would of happened. A new revenue stream for both Co.
Seen that! Thank you. $ITRO Itronics Reports 2020 Silver Sales Up 224 Percent, Total Sales Down 3 Percent https://finance.yahoo.com/news/itronics-reports-2020-silver-sales-183800436.html
Itronics old friend Comstock Mining announced the acquisition of a 64% share in a lithium battery recycler and drove the price over $6.00. Both companies seem to moving along parallel tracks over the last few years. Maybe it's time they partnered up?
RockKleen is the thing.
A lot more people in play with itro today. Buyers coming in picking up the low hanging fruit. Your right about the holding on to their shares.The stock seems to be settling in at this level. Holding for another day. There's been more back and forth about itro at Yahoo Quotes ITRO'S conversation.
Harpe this has been a fun week.
I'm thinking this round of new buyers are holding their shares with a strong grip, having seen its potential and wanting to be in while it is still a bargain. The last time it had a run up, it bottom stayed up about forty cents and now it appears to be staying up another forty cents, or so. May the runs up come closer together and settle even higher has ITRO increases its workload. The fertilizer is a nice business but the bigger future is in its KleenRock tech.
Pretty quiet around here considering what this company has to offer. Nothing better than a company that can turn one man's trash into treasure while also cleaning up the mess made during mining. They have a long way to go but love the concept. Glta.

Crazy times for Silver
Great post! Hard to get all itro's interesting information, and great awards in a two maybe three minute interview. Anyone interested in learning more about Itronics I would direct them to their company profile at Itronics.com
I appreciate your posting this. Don't get me wrong, I'm an investor here and a big believer in their potential. The thing is for years they've pedaled their potential over their accomplishments. There's been plenty of pilot programs and research. The time has to come when they need to make good on all the promised potential.
what ever happened to the new facility that was going to be built? John should have talked more about their Magnesium extraction process rather than zinc, which is a big one. As reported recently, if successful ITRO would be the only US producer of magnesium, a critical US element. As such, ITRO could probably land a huge grant for this. I'd like to hear more about new management and what they're up to. In fact, I'd love to hear more from them and their perspective on direction and goals. Let's hear about goals and timeframes. John, you're a very smart guy and I realize this has been your baby, but times a tick'n and the time has come to loosen the reigns and let this bird fly already!

Just got on board...little loss today but hoping I picked a winner here..I have patience.. glta
Welcome back! seems to have new buyers with almost half a million shares on Friday, and 1200 trades. Hopefully the fun continues on Monday. Don't be late it started early and moved quickly. Luck to all.
family issues kept me busy while itro was running. It is looking good.
WONDER IF ROCK KLEEN OR ANY OF THE OTHER TECHNOLOGIES ITRO IS DEVELOPING HAVE APPLICATION TO THE EXTRACTION OF RARE EARTHS ELEMENTS FROM THEIR ORES . FEDERAL MONEY IS BEING ALLOCATED FOR THIS PURPOSE.
https://www.greencarcongress.com/2021/01/20210121-doecm.html
SOME RARE EARTH STOCKS HAVE HAD EXPLOSIVE SURGES OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS see LYSCF, REEMF, & MP a couple weeks ago. Soon perhaps the more speculative ones like AVL.TO and the massive deposit in Greenland controlled by GDLNF.
The Rare Earth ETF REMX (mostly Chinese companies) has also been moving along well.
Your patience is commendable and yes, let's get off the pinks.
Truly exiting the price action and volume today. Was one of the private placement investors from back near the year 2000.Have been hanging on to my shares & watching this stock almost every day for the past 20 years waiting for the big move that could make me some good money. Maybe it is here at last .
I wonder if ITRO will now get off the pink sheets?
It doesn't take much volume to move it with the tiny float.
This has been a "sleeper" for years; appears Rip Van ITRO has awakened.
The "no cyanide" card is the real ace here; any miner wanting to "go green" has to show they're not using cyanide to have credibility.
When silver really explodes, that will add to the momentum. Their silver recycling is about to reach critical mass.
