Silver output is expected to increase as GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer sales increase, and from utilization of new silver-bearing raw material feed sources made possible by the revolutionary new FeLix and SuLix leaching technology developed by Itronics .
The Company will now focus on integrating the new unit operation fully into its overall operations and on expanding silver output.
Itronics Metallurgical has identified two other potential applications where the FeLix and SuLix processes could reduce processing costs and reduce waste by profitably converting material presently being wasted into commercial products. These important silver-bearing materials are:
1. Steel wool (ion exchange) cartridges which are widely used in the United States to perform on site silver removal from photographic liquids at user sites where off site hauling is not required. Both iron and silver would be recovered. This is a large source of iron and photo silver with millions of ounces of silver being recovered annually in these cartridges in the United States . The Company has business linkages in place that will make it possible to source these materials in desired quantities when it is appropriate for the Company to do so. 2. Processing the cores of non-mercury bearing silver batteries to recover potassium, zinc, and Silver. Zinc silver batteries are primarily used in military and space applications, but some new technology zinc silver batteries are being developed for use in portable computers. If these new technologies get adopted, then there will be a large increase in zinc silver battery usage world-wide and an associated need for zinc silver battery recycling services.
