Unico, Inc. Announces New Photo Gallery Showing Delivery of Final Components for New Substation at the Deer Trail Mine

Posted on: Tuesday, 31 July 2007, 12:03 CDT

Unico, Incorporated (OTCBB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced the addition of a new photo gallery showing the delivery of the final components for the new substation at the Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale, Utah. The photo gallery can be viewed in the Media section of the Unico website at http://www.unicomining.com./news/othermedia.php.

In the new photo gallery, there are several pictures of the delivery of components for the Deer Trail substation including the metering cabinet, main switchgear, cross arms and support poles. The gallery shows excavation of a trench that will carry 12,470 volts to the secondary substation located at the mill. There are also photographs showing the last three concrete slabs for the substation being poured to prepare for the installation of substation components. These three slabs will hold the metering cabinet, switchgear and small electrical transformer for area lighting.

"We are pleased to show the delivery of the final major components for the new electrical substation at the Deer Trail Mine in the new photo gallery posted on our website," stated Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc. "We will continue to provide regular updates for our shareholders on the progress at the Deer Trail Mine, including the addition of new photo galleries to the Unico website showing the final steps in completing the connection to the new substation that will supply power to the site."

The new substation will supply power to the Deer Trail Mine property, including the 1.5 megawatts of power required to operate the mill and processing facility and an additional 1 megawatt of excess power capacity available for future upgrades to the system, including power for mining activities at the Deer Trail property and other Unico claims in the area.

The primary voltage of the main transformer at the new substation is 46,000 volts and the secondary voltage of 12,470/7,200 will be sent to the mill by direct burial cable. The 12,470 voltage will then be further reduced to the required 480 volts required to operate the mill.

A crew from Cache Valley Electrical (http://www.cve.com/), one of the largest electrical contractors in the western United States that has been contracted to assist with the construction of the new substation, is on site to begin the final installation of the recently delivered components.
