Unico, Inc.
Adds New Photo Gallery Showing Work to Complete Secondary Substation at the
Deer Trail Mine
Issued Friday September 28, 10:24 am ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep. 28, 2007--Unico, Incorporated (OTC BB:
UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today
announced that a new photo gallery showing the completion of the secondary
electrical substation at the Deer Trail Mine has been posted to the company's
website, www.unicomining.com. The completion of the secondary substation will
allow for electricity to be supplied to power the Deer Trail mill and
processing facility once the main substation is energized.
The new photo gallery showing the work to complete the secondary substation at
the Deer Trail Mine has been added to the "Media" section of the
Unico website at www.unicomining.com./news/othermedia.php.
The main substation will supply the 1.5 megawatts of power required to
operate the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine. The completed
subsidiary substation will be used to reduce the voltage from 12,470 volts to
the 480 volts needed to operate the mill facility.
The photo gallery includes photographs of the wiring of components at the
secondary substation as well as the connections to the main mill buildings. Two
main distribution panels feed the motor control centers throughout the two main
mill buildings. The distribution wire used to take the 480 volts from the
secondary transformer to the 1200-amp panel has been installed, as has the
copper wire that moves the 480-volt power from the 1200-amp disconnect to the
distribution panels.
The circuit panels inside the mill buildings that run the lighting are
currently being wired, and the wiring of panels and controls in the mill
buildings is also underway.
The secondary substation was completed with the assistance of electrical
contractor Cache Valley Electric (www.cve.com), one of the largest electrical
contractors in the western United States, and work shown in the gallery was
undertaken in cooperation with a crew from Cache Valley Electric.
"We are pleased to have added this new gallery to our website in order to
show shareholders a portion of the work that was required to complete the
secondary substation, which is now prepared to carry power to the mill and
processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine," stated Mark A. Lopez, chief
executive officer of Unico. "We will continue to supply photographs of our
progress at the Deer Trail Mine, which has expanded to include preparations for
underground maintenance work to be conducted by Atlas Fausett Contracting for
potential future underground mining activities at the Deer Trail Mine. The
reopening of the PTH Tunnel, coupled with the preparations to begin processing
the screened, above-ground stockpiled material at the site, help to underscore
the importance of securing power to begin operations at the mill
facility."
Unico recently completed the purchase of the Deer Trail Mine for its Deer Trail
Mining Company subsidiary.
