Unico, Inc. Reports Further Reconstruction Work at the Mill and Processing Facility at the Deer Trail Mine and Additional Screening Plant Activity

Posted on: Thursday, 28 June 2007, 09:00 CDT

Unico, Incorporated (OTCBB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced further reconstruction work at the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale, Utah and additional ongoing screening plant activity at the site.

A new photo gallery showing the reconstruction work is expected to be added to the Media section Unico website, http://www.unicomining.com, in the next several days.

With the recent installation of the thickener bridge and thickener rake mechanism in the new mill building, the first lift of the thickener walls is currently being completed. The concrete thickener cone has been poured, and after the concrete has cured, the company will begin installation of the second lift of steel plates. The main support that holds the thickener rakes is scheduled for installation this week.

The wood structure that supports the two Wilfley concentrating tabletops has been replaced. The Wilfley concentrating tables are used in the mill's gravity separation circuit. Delivery of rifling and rubber sheeting for the concentrating tables is expected shortly and they have been placed in their permanent locations in the main mill building.

The Denver Mineral jig, which is used to capture any free gold from the process slurry that is not recoverable in the floatation circuit, has had its bearings inspected and is ready to be installed in line in the floatation circuit after the Krebs cyclone.

In addition to the progress of reconstruction work at the mill and processing facility, the company has continued screening plant operations at the Deer Trail Mine. The screening plant has continued screening material from the first targeted dump areas, and additional dumps areas at the Deer Trail Mine are being sampled and assayed to determine the most economical fraction for screening.

"We continue to see progress in all facets of our ongoing operations at the Deer Trail Mine, and we are pleased to report this progress to our shareholders," stated Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc. "The reconstruction work at the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine has been a major focus of our efforts, and we will continue to assist Rocky Mountain Power and Cache Valley Electric with the completion of the electrical substation that will supply power to the Deer Trail Mine. The ongoing screening operations are providing an available supply of feed material for the mill once processing operations are initiated at the facility."
