Issued Friday June 1, 9:10 am ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--June 1, 2007--Unico,
Incorporated (OTC BB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals
mining sector, today announced the purchase and delivery of several pieces of
equipment for use at the Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale,
Utah. Photographs of the recently purchased equipment, including the delivery
of two of the pieces, have been added to a new photo gallery on the company's
website, www.unicomining.com. The gallery can be found by visiting the
"Multimedia" section of the Unico website
at www.unicomining.com./news/othermedia.php.
A 1997 tandem axle semi tractor built by Western Star
(http://www.westernstartrucks.com/) was purchased by the company, and it is
expected to be delivered to the Deer Trail Mine in the coming days. The tractor
has a Caterpillar 455 horsepower motor and double incased
frame rails. The truck is built for heavy hauling, both off highway and on. It
will be used for moving equipment from one location to another as needed. The
company intends to acquire a 25-ton side dump trailer to move material from the
upper mine dumps to the screening plant and from the screening plant to the
mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine.
The company also purchased a Toyota
4,300 pound
forklift with a three-stage mast capable of reaching 17 feet. The forklift,
which has been delivered and is in use to assist with the reconstruction work
at the Deer Trail Mine site, will also be used inside
the mill to move the floatation concentrate and other materials needed to
operate the mill.
A Ferree LT35 equipment trailer was purchased and
delivered to the Deer Trail Mine. This trailer will be used to transport the
Cat Loader, Case Excavator and Cat D-7 dozer to and from the mine and mill
sites at the Deer Trail Mine.
The new photo gallery includes pictures of the Western Star semi tractor, the
delivery of the Toyota
forklift and the Ferree trailer, the forklift and
trailer on site at the Deer Trail Mine, and the forklift in use at the mill and
processing facility.
"With the expanding operations at the Deer Trail Mine, including the
continued reconstruction of the mill and processing facility, ongoing screening
operations and the movement of material to and from different areas at the
site, the purchase of this equipment is another important development for the
Deer Trail Mining Company, our wholly owned subsidiary," commented Mark A.
Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc. "We
hope that Unico shareholders will review the new
pictures that we have posted to our website and will continue to follow the
progress of the company as it works to develop revenues and long-term value
from operations at the Deer Trail Mine."
