I have spent my time and done my homework, and I agree with you. They have a lot to be complimented for, and not dismissed as a scam. Their ideas should be given a chance. The problem is that they are an easy target. When someone tells you that HIV can be controlled by drinking water, you have just opened the door for all the glass is half empty crowd. There certainly have been a lot of other crazy sounding ideas that were at least given a chance. They can be dismissed as a scam if they are proven wrong!
Provide me a link that shows that AQLV or anyone else required that the "10" stop taking their antivirals as a precondition to trying the new "medicine". Then I will know what a hypocrite either the CEO is or you are. I have not seen that anywhere, but I await being corrected. I have read that the "10" are alive and doing well. I also await being corrected on that issue.
Sounds good to me Player. You can not ask for anything better.
Wrong on so many points. I do not think anyone has died, and if so they have not told us. Everyone could continue to take their antivirals if they wished. Read the information on what has been done and said.
Still waiting on copies of the death certificates.
I have read that and believe it, but there are those who still insist on dead bodies. We need to get to the bottom of this. Ha!
Thanks for your reply. You were so helpful. Can you give me at least one death certificate? This way I would be able to sell all my shares that Gary gave me with impunity. I so want a reason to get out. Do you not wish I would sell?
Do they play soccer in America? Yes they do, but we call it soccer. We do not call it football.
Yes, that be futbol. Only real Americans play and watch football. Do they celebrate Thanksgiving in Kenya too?
Happy Thanksgiving sunspotter! Do not let the sun get in your eyes. I did not know that those in Kenyans celebrated Thanksgiving or played football. Maybe you meant futbol.
The translation of this text actually involves the understanding of electromagnetic force and how it relates to the biology of the living organism. The concept of how this works involves intricate electrical theory, chemistry, microbiology, and physics.
Nikolas Tesla transported electrical power through the air and actually lit up a town all without power lines. It has never been replicated. It involves the electromagnetic nature of electrical power, but that is a different subject.
One of the problems of HIV is that it breaks down the bodies ability to fight the virus. Building up this ability is a way of fighting the disease. To provide more information would require a book, a PHD, or a lot of study.
Antigen:
A substance that when introduced into the body stimulates the production of an antibody. Antigens include toxins, bacteria, foreign blood cells, and the cells of transplanted organs.

Then I guess I will go down with the Titanic. They have a concept that could really work. There are other ways they could fail, but their technology is viable. The technology is sound, but they have taken it even further. What they have CAN work. We could be in for some exciting times.
I have read all the reasons given on this board and the opinion of others why this technology and Company are just a scam. I was even beginning to believe what I was reading, and looking at the real scams that are being sold and Companies being rewarded, I was of the opinion that I was a fool. I re-read the Information that was put out by the CEO in response to all the reasons why the Company and technology were scams. I finally saw something that answered the final question that was bothering me. I found the final piece to the puzzle. I went from this is a scam, to they really have something that could work. I intend to hold on to the shares I bought.
I knew what you were saying.
Great Balls of fire! They could make a song about that.
Would not surprise me.
If you saw one in action you would appreciate what I said.
Have you seen how they "thresh"?
I guess that he took the day off! Ha.
Yes, I have a wealth of knowledge. Have you ever seen what those combines do? Just curious.
Will do! I had already thought of that!
Yes, I would never have know what Combines were really made to do, or the alternative use of the ceramic beads.
Will be interesting to watch. The could really get going.
I guess they make these boards for learning new things. That is exciting.
There are some who can paint faster than others.
What does that have to do with what you were saying?
It would not surprise me. He accuses us of painting the tape to get the price UP, but it works both ways. We may be surprised to the upside one of these days.
We do not have long to wait in the scheme of things. This could fire up the next 3 cylinders, to speak in Nascar terms. he!
It was not a PR, but it was a well thought out position on the present and future plans of the Company. Yes, a lot to take in, but I think it bodes well for the future!

Itronics Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ITRO) today announced that it has issued a detailed letter to its shareholders updating progress on the Company's business plan. It follows in full:
Dear Shareholder:
We are writing this letter to provide an update on Itronics' business plan direction and vision for the future. This letter presents a summary of "what we have," "where we're at," and "where we are going." The Company is a "clean technology (cleantech)" fertilizer company that produces silver bullion as a byproduct. The Company's fertilizers are marketed under its proprietary GOLD'n GRO brand. The fertilizers are now well established and plans are being implemented to expand sales into other geographic regions of the United States. The Company's long term goal is to achieve profitable large scale clean technology driven sustainable growth in specialty fertilizers, mining chemicals, and specialty minerals. Sales in 2011 are expected to be about $3 million.
The Company has created revolutionary vertically integrated technology that provides reduced costs to its customers, completely converts a hazardous liquid waste stream (silver-bearing photographic liquids) to commercial goods (fertilizer and silver bullion) thereby contributing to long term material resource sustainability. The GOLD'n GRO fertilizers provide a number of agronomic and environmental benefits. They are more effective than fertilizers they replace, they contribute to increased crop production, they reduce the amount of fertilizer residuals in the soil, the risk of surface runoff into surface waters, and the risk of groundwater pollution. Our cleantech business model is structured to produce profits that are not constrained by regulatory control, thus providing open upside to Itronics' investors as the Company grows. As a "Clean Technology Company," we are an emerging leader in the markets in which we operate. The Company, its technologies, and its projects completely embrace the concept of creating and using clean technology to maximize long term sustainability. Profitably maximizing the use of material resources is a specific goal.
New technology development is an integral component in Itronics' implementation of its business plan to use internally developed environmentally green clean technology to produce solid profitable growth. Itronics, through the fertilizer division, is the inventor and operator of award winning recycling technology that converts spent photographic liquids into pure silver and award winning GOLD'n GRO fertilizers. Commercialization of this technology has created a "Green Consumer Option" for photo and x-ray processors and "Green fertilizers" for horticulture and agriculture. The fertilizers incorporate the "essence" of green because of how they are sourced and because of their excellent performance in the field.
Rapid technological changes are occurring in many industries and these changes are creating new growth opportunities. The fertilizer division is an example of one of these developments. A core skill set of the Company is its ability to create and implement new "award winning" metallurgical chemistry technologies in recycling, fertilizer manufacturing, and mining. The Company intends to continue to utilize and emphasize its technological skills in chemical metallurgy and to utilize advanced process and manufacturing technology as it expands its two business segments.
Itronics operates two divisions. One division, Itronics Metallurgical, Inc. (Fertilizer Division), is an emerging cleantech specialty fertilizer and silver refining business that now accounts for most of the Company's sales. The other division, Whitney & Whitney, Inc. (Minerals Division) provides administrative services to Itronics Inc. and its subsidiaries, manages research and development for the Fertilizer Division and historically provided technical consulting services to the mining industry. Today the Minerals Division is continuing to provide administrative and R & D services to Itronics and its subsidiaries. Now, instead of providing technical consulting services to the mining industry, it is transitioning to become a cleantech specialty minerals producer by helping its majority-owned subsidiary, Auric Gold & Minerals, Inc., acquire and develop a major polymetallic and multi-mineral Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) exploration project (Fulstone Project) in the Yerington Mining District near the northern Nevada community of Yerington, about 90 miles southeast of Reno, and by seeking to acquire specialty minerals operations.
On June 3, 2005, Itronics outlined its eight-part growth plan for the fertilizer division. Implementation of this plan is continuing, with adjustments being made as market conditions warrant. The fertilizer business has strengthened as the markets for the individual GOLD'n GRO fertilizers have been developed and as they are now being expanded. The Company's metallurgical technology development is continuing with the Stage 1 silver refinery expansion project that is underway. Meaningful operational cost savings in the refinery are being achieved. The new Itromet FeLix Process is operating successfully and creates additional expansion opportunities for the Company. The Company has identified certain specialty minerals that may have environmental benefits in mining, agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry and that may fit within the Company's cleantech business model. As time and funding permits, we are evaluating the feasibility of incorporating these minerals within the Company's business plan. A major objective of current business plan development activities is to identify and implement sales that are less seasonal in order to achieve more stable year round sales and cash flow. We believe that specialty minerals may provide opportunities to achieve this.
One of the most significant business plan adjustments since the fertilizer division business plan was published in 2005 is the shift in emphasis from rapidly expanding the fertilizer division by introducing the novel, environmentally friendly, GOLD'n GRO Guardian deer repellent into the up-scale urban home owner market, to developing an attractive IOCG project through the minerals division. This shift was made because the up-scale home owner market collapsed in the 2008-2009 time frame and funding could not be obtained to complete the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) registration requirements. This formerly attractive market is not expected to recover for several more years. During the same time period a renewed strong global market interest in gold, silver, and other metal commodities emerged. The minerals division, which has a long and successful history in helping mining companies develop new mines, owns intellectual property that provided the opportunity to enter this rapidly strengthening market. In the first half of 2009 the corporate decision was made to make the adjustment in direction. Today the Company is expanding its fertilizer division and intends to make strategic acquisitions to establish and expand sales in its minerals division.
The growth plan for the minerals division is to continue to expand and develop the Fulstone Project, and to seek out specialty minerals production acquisitions that are complementary to the development of the Fulstone Project, or to the fertilizer division growth plan, and that may be able to provide demonstrable environmental benefits. The Company believes that technology synergy between the two divisions is strong and that opportunities exist to strategically develop an integrated business model that includes fertilizers, mining chemicals, and specialty minerals. The fertilizer division is a clean technology driven business that has intellectual property as one of its strongest assets. The minerals division uses proprietary intellectual property to facilitate physical asset acquisition and development and new clean technology development. The minerals division is skilled at R & D, has a demonstrated ability to develop clean technology, and is skilled at identifying and integrating advanced mineral recovery technologies developed by others to achieve advanced clean technology goals.
Development of mineral projects by the Company makes it possible to capitalize on its intellectual property assets and technical expertise and to create the opportunity for potentially rapid increases in the value of those mineral property assets. The Auric Fulstone Project is classified as an IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) exploration target and is strategically located within the Yerington District. Some of the largest polymetallic copper gold deposits in the world are classified as IOCG deposits. These deposits often contain a variety of extractable metals and minerals including specialty minerals, uranium, and rare earths. The Yerington District hosts several nearby undeveloped copper-gold deposits that are partially drilled. One of these, which is about 20 miles from the Fulstone Project, is an IOCG deposit and now has a drill indicated resource approaching 1 billion tons. Another, which is about 5 miles away from the Fulstone Project, is a porphyry copper deposit with gold, silver, and molybdenum that has a drill measured resource of over 800 million tons. Both of these deposits would be characterized as "elephants" on a world scale. The Company believes that the Yerington District is one of the few locations in the world that hosts such a cluster of large undeveloped polymetallic copper-gold deposits. The Yerington District is globally attractive, not only because it is mineral rich, but because of its "politically safe" location with much infrastructure including rail service in place and a skilled work force readily available.
The Company believes that the Fulstone Project could contain up to 6 recoverable metals (iron, copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, zinc), and that there is potential for development and recovery of at least 3 specialty minerals (silica, clay, pyrophyllite). This project is very exciting because of potential large size, the potential for discovering recoverable metals and specialty minerals besides iron, copper, and gold, and the potential for application of advanced mineral recovery technologies to expand recoveries and reduce waste. At the Fulstone Project the Company anticipates that the project will achieve above average profitability by acquiring and integrating proven extractive technologies to maximize total mineral recoveries and thereby reduce the amount of waste rock and process tailings that are expensive to handle and that require investment in safe long term storage. As such, this will be an environmentally green clean technology mining project.
Company management believes that with its intellectual property foundation, its history of successfully creating and implementing award winning recycling technology that maximizes sustainability, and with new technology and project developments that are underway, Itronics is seriously undervalued. With about 4.1 million shares outstanding and a current share trading price of about $0.60 the market cap is approximately $2.4 million. Many early stage green technology companies trade at a premium to annual sales. Itronics is currently trading at a discount to its expected 2011 sales which are projected to be in the $3 million range.
During 2010 and 2011 the ability of small public companies to acquire funding to support operations and expansion has been severely constrained by changes in the regulatory environment and serious challenges in the financial markets in general. Itronics has dealt successfully with a number of financial challenges beginning in 2008 and continuing to the present time. Management intends to bring the Company's audits current and return to fully reporting status on the OTC BB as soon as funding permits.
The rate of growth and implementation of the business plan for both Divisions is dependent on raising additional capital. The Company had, until mid 2008, a relatively consistent, albeit expensive, source of capital. The recession in 2008 ended that source and the capital markets have still not fully recovered. In spite of this, the Company has made progress in implementing the business plan in ensuing years, but the growth rate has been slowed due to the lack of sufficient operating capital and a nearly complete lack of capital that could be used for growth purposes. The Company is actively working on raising the capital required to increase the rate of implementation of the business plan.
We would like to thank our shareholders for their on-going support. We are developing a strong cleantech business model and have a very positive vision for the future. Shareholders and potential investors who have questions regarding the Company, its growth prospects, and its financing should contact Bill Forkner, Itronics Director of Acquisitions & Finance or Shareholder Relations at 888-795-6336.
Sincerely,
Itronics Inc.
Dr. John W. Whitney, Chairman and President

We will give it some time. Hopefully when it happens it will be a good thing and be all that we could hope for.
Ready to light the fuse. Ha! It is ready to light. It will take some time to do the drilling, but ready for that to start.
In either case not long. Just a few more pieces of land to go.
Only a couple of months from now. That will be special! It is not the only thing, but it may be the icing on the cake.
Some good news in the next couple of weeks could get this thing going in a big way. Patience is the key!
I may have to beat it like a drum. HA.
I placed a buy order in for 10,000 shares at 50 cents for about two weeks. They finally gave me 2 shares. The price went to less than 40 cants on small orders. I do not think anyone wants to sell, but what do I know. I finally canceled my good til canceled order. You can not out guess the mm's.
I think so too.
What relevance does pink stinkers have to AQLV?
