Press Release
Unico, Inc. Announces New Photo Gallery Showing
Further Progress of Reconstruction Work at the Mill and Processing Facility at
the Deer Trail Mine
Issued Friday August 24, 9:16 am ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug. 24, 2007--Unico,
Incorporated (OTC BB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals
mining sector, today announced that it has added a new photo gallery to its
website, which shows the progress of recent reconstruction work at the mill and
processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale,
Utah.
The new reconstruction photo gallery has been added to the "Media"
section of the Unico website at www.unicomining.com./news/othermedia.php.
The vacuum pumps used for the Eimco filter that have
been delivered to the Deer Trail Mine site are shown in the new photo gallery,
as are the filtrate tanks and filtrate pumps that will be used to collect the
water that passes through the filter sectors from the mill tailings and
floatation concentrate. The filtrate tanks are currently being installed, and
the vacuums will be installed immediately thereafter.
The gallery also includes photographs of the piping for the mill, which was
purchased through Isco Industries
(http://www.isco-pipe.com/default.asp) of Salt
Lake City, Utah and
has been delivered to the site. Installation of the piping is underway and
installed sections that will be used to transport the tailings from the
secondary flotation cells to the thickener are also shown in the gallery.
Pictures in the new gallery show the installation of the filter sectors on the Eimco filter, which is currently underway. All the final
adjustments necessary for the Eimco filter to operate
are being made.
Installation of the main water lines that will be used for the overflow of the thickener
is pictured in the gallery. The water lines will allow the Deer Trail Mining
Company to recycle the majority of the water used in the floatation process,
and the recycled water will be distributed throughout the mill for make-up
water in the process stream. Photographs also show that the final coat of
Vulcanizing rubber waterproofing has been applied to the thickener. The
thickener is now ready to be leak tested.
"Our visit to the Deer Trail Mine this week allowed us to view much of the
recently completed reconstruction work at the mill and processing facility
firsthand, and we are pleased to see how this project is coming together,"
stated Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico,
Inc. "There has been significant progress since our last visit to the
site, and we look forward to seeing the remainder of the work completed and
processing operations initiated, especially now that the Deer Trail Mine has
been purchased for our wholly owned Deer Trail Mining Company subsidiary."
Shareholders who would like to sign up to receive information by email directly
from Unico, Inc., including when new photo galleries are posted to the company
website, are asked to visit the company's website at
