SAN DIEGO,
CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar. 21, 2007--Unico, Incorporated (OTC BB: UCOI), a natural
resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced the
posting of a new photo gallery showing recent reconstruction work in the
completion phase of the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine in
Marysvale, Utah. The photo gallery has been posted in the "Media"
section of the company's website at www.unicomining.com./news/othermedia.php.
The Deer Trail Mine is operated by Unico, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Deer
Trail Mining Company, Inc.
In the gallery, there are several pictures showing the pouring of the
final three sections of the concrete floor in the new mill building, which will
house the filtration and thickener. With the flooring complete, work in the new
building will now focus on completion of the thickener and its surrounding
structures.
The gallery also shows the motor control panel that powers the flotation cells
and pumps in the main mill building. There are pictures of the first conduit
that runs from the control panel. Electrical work in the building is being
prepared in anticipation of the completion of the new electrical substation,
which is being constructed to power the mill and other mining activities at the
Deer Trail Mine. Preparation of the ground for the new substation is also
shown. In the pictures of the ground preparation, the existing adjacent
substation that will provide the connection to the new substation can be seen
in the background.
A section of the gallery shows the ladders that have been installed to allow
access to the upper deck of the fine ore bin. There are several pictures of the
assembly of the supports for the 120-ft peerless stacking conveyor and the
final supports for the long feed conveyor to the fine ore bin. Workers pouring
concrete for the support foundation of the catwalk between the old and new mill
buildings is also pictured.
There are also several pictures in the gallery that show the delivery of the
lighting and electrical circuit panels for the new mill building. These will
also be prepared for connection once the new substation is constructed and
operational.

Mine continues to move forward through the completion phase, and we are pleased
with the recent work that is shown in this new photo gallery," said Mark
A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc. "The gallery shows the
various areas where we have seen progress, and over the next several weeks, we
expect to continue to see a number of additional significant tasks completed in
both major mill buildings, outside where conveyors are located, and in the
location of the new electrical substation.
