Unico, Inc. Announces Completion of Secondary
Substation at the Deer Trail Mine
Issued Thursday September 27, 9:00 am ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep. 27, 2007--Unico,
Incorporated (OTC BB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals
mining sector, today announced the completion of the secondary electrical
substation at the Deer Trail Mine that will supply power to the mill and
processing facility. With the secondary substation complete and the connection
from the main electrical substation established, power will be available inside
the mill buildings once the main substation is energized.
A new photo gallery showing the completed secondary substation at the Deer
Trail Mine is expected to be added to the Media section of the Unico website,
http://www.unicomining.com, in the next several days.
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 completion of the secondary substation included the wiring of all
components and connections to the two main distribution panels that feed the
motor control centers throughout the 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.
"The completion of the secondary substation is yet another important step
in establishing all electrical connections necessary at the mill and processing
facility at the Deer Trail Mine," stated Mark A. Lopez, chief executive
officer of Unico. "We will continue to focus on the last remaining wiring
and connection work until power is available to begin processing operations at
the facility."
Unico recently completed the purchase of the Deer Trail Mine for its Deer Trail
Mining Company subsidiary.
