SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/30/07 -- Unico, Incorporated (OTCBB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced continued progress toward completion of the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale, Utah, including the installation of additional equipment for the facility. Photographs of the progress are expected to be posted to the company's website, www.unicomining.com, in the next several days.


The recently purchased WesTech 40-foot thickener, which will be primarily used to thicken tailings, has been delivered and is being prepared for installation. The cement foundation for the thickener has been poured.

The footings to support the Emico filter have been completed, and the legs that support the filter base have been fabricated. The filter base has been placed on its foundation. National Filter Media of Salt Lake City, Utah has supplied the Deer Trail Mining Company with samples of their filter media for the company's metallurgist to determine the best filter cloth for its application.

Installation of the constant density tank for feeding the hydrocyclone used in the classification of ores has been completed, and the company has installed the primary conditioning tanks used to treat the ores before going to floatation. A secondary conditioner tank has been installed that will be used to separate the zinc from the gold, silver and lead concentrate. The steel for the upper mezzanine above the thickener tank has been ordered and is scheduled for delivery this week. Much of the floor area of the new mill building was tamped and lined with bentonite, and the cement foundation has been poured.

"There has been a great deal of progress on the installation of equipment at the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine over the last several weeks, and we are pleased to report these advances to our shareholders," said Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc.

Unico, Inc. Announces Additional Progress Update in Completion Phase of Reconstruction of the Mill and Processing Facility at the Deer Trail Mine

Friday , February 16, 2007 09:05ET



SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/16/07 -- Unico, Incorporated (OTCBB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced additional developments in the reconstruction of the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale, Utah. Progress includes work in the main mill building, in the new building that will house the filtration and thickener, and on the new electrical substation that will provide power to the mill and additional activities at the mine.

Several large steel tanks have been purchased from Questar Gas, the local natural gas provider, and installed in the new mill building. These tanks can be used in the floatation circuit to re-circulate water from the tailings. Construction of the thickener in the new building is ongoing and the lighting has been ordered with delivery expected next week.

In the main mill building, safety guards that cover the main drive pulleys and ring gear have been fabricated and installed, all in accordance with MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) requirements.

BNA consulting is finalizing the blueprints for the new substation and construction is expected to begin shortly. With the completed blueprints, the ground will be prepared and leveled and a concrete foundation will be poured for the main transformer, which is now ready for delivery to the site.

"We have been extremely fortunate and have experienced good weather conditions this winter at the Deer Trail Mine," said Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc. "Since the beginning of the year, there has been consistent progress on the reconstruction of the mill and processing facility, and the recent work in both the main mill building and the new building have taken us further through the completion phase of this project.

"As we continue to complete our work in those buildings, we will also focus considerable attention on the construction of the new substation, which will provide power to our reconstructed mill and help it to run in a more cost-effective manner. We are pleased with this progress and look forward to reporting additional milestones in the next several weeks," added Mr. Lopez.
