AXcess News: Tracking Gold and Silver Stocks

HOUSTON, TX, Jan 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
With the wild swing in precious metals futures for gold and silver recently
it's
difficult for investors to accurately track gold and silver stocks, while trying
to
evaluate the properties they hold has become a time-consuming matter.

Itronics Inc. (OTCBB: ITRO) subsidiary, Whitney & Whitney, Inc., has
developed a handy way for gold and silver bugs to access information through
http://www.InsideMetals.com, a Web site it launched last year which deploys a
unique point system on gold and silver mining companies that takes into
consideration the mining property reports those companies file.

While many investors use sophisticated charting programs to track gold and
silver stocks as a way to identify buy and sell opportunities, those programs
display investor interest and may incorporate some degree of results, such
as price to earnings ratios. But trying to decipher that information to find
undervalued companies based on their properties and operating efficiencies
takes good old elbow grease and a lot of reading.

InsideMetals.com gives users access to information, which, if you wanted
touse their time-saving ranking system, requires a paid subscription of
$149.95, or a little less than the cost of 5 grams of gold at today's prices.
But accessing information -- especially where a unique point system is used
which was developed by Whitney & Whitney, Inc. geologists to track mining
properties -- appears to have developed into an almost cult following of users
of its Web site and due to growing demand, InsideMetals.com now has a
respectable
number of junior mining companies within its ranks.

Junior gold and silver stocks are often more volatile and finding
information
that you can use is difficult, but the geologists at Whitney & Whitney,
Inc. built the database program used within InsideMetals.com to accurately
gauge their customers performance and as more and more information began to
filter its way through the Internet they decided to open their tools to the
public in launching the Web site last year.
