Completion of Connection to Electrical Substation at the Deer Trail Mine
Issued Monday September 10, 9:20 am ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep. 10, 2007--Unico,
Incorporated (OTC BB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals
mining sector, today posted a new photo gallery on its corporate website,
www.unicomining.com, which shows work related to the completion of the
electrical connection to the new substation at the Deer Trail Mine that will
supply power to the site.
The new photo gallery showing the work to complete the interconnection at the
substation has been added to the "Media" section of the Unico website at www.unicomining.com./news/othermedia.php.
A crew from PacifiCorp, the electrical utility that operates in Utah as Rocky Mountain
Power, completed the interconnection between the existing Rocky Mountain Power
substation and the new Deer Trail Mine substation over a two-day period.
Pictures in the new gallery show the work during the period when power to the Rocky
Mountain Power substation was terminated so that the necessary maintenance and
preparation work could be completed ahead of the interconnection between the
two substations. There are also pictures of the work conducted the next day,
when power to the site was again shut off and the interconnection was
completed. The gallery also shows the power meter that was installed at the new
substation before the interconnection.
With the necessary components in place and the interconnection completed,
Unico's wholly owned subsidiary, Deer Trail Mining Company, now has the ability
to bring the substation online by energizing the main transformer at the site.
The new substation, which was completed with the assistance of electrical
contractor Cache Valley Electric, one of the largest electrical contractors in
the western United States,
will supply the 1.5 megawatts of power required to operate the mill and
processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine. An additional 1 megawatt of excess
power capacity is available for future upgrades to the system, including power
for mining activities at the Deer Trail property and other Unico claims in the
area.
"We are pleased to show the completed work related to the interconnection
that brings power to the new electrical substation at the Deer Trail Mine, as
it represents a significant advancement for our project at the site," said
Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico. "We expect additional
progress on the connections from the main substation to the Deer Trail mill and
processing facility in the coming weeks, and we will provide future updates and
add new media to the Unico website as soon as possible," added Mr. Lopez.
Unico recently completed the purchase of the Deer Trail Mine for its Deer Trail
Mining Company subsidiary.
