SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2009--Unico, Incorporated (OTC BB: UNCO), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced that Ray C. Brown, chairman of the company?s Board of Directors, has filed a Form 4 Statement of Change in Beneficial Ownership of Securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting a acquisition of common stock on February 24, 2009.

The Form 4, which was filed on February 25, 2009, reports that Mr. Brown acquired 1,906,525 shares of common stock at a price of $0.004.  The acquisition brings the total number of common shares that Mr. Brown owns to 2,795,110.  The filing can be viewed through by clicking the appropriate link at http://www.unicomining.com./IR/investorrelations.php.

?I am pleased to have the opportunity to increase my common stock position in Unico at this time,? stated Mr. Brown.  ?Recent events at the Deer Trail Mine, including the opportunities presented by the tellurium content as well the alternative methods for the recovery of gold and silver from the recently produced concentrates at the site, have only added to my confidence in the future potential of the company.  I look forward to observing the next steps in the development of the Deer Trail project and will consider further additions to my common stock position as additional milestones are achieved.?     

Unico recently announced that due to the continued strength in gold and silver markets, Unico?s wholly owned Deer Trail Mining Company subsidiary has explored different leaching technologies for the recovery of gold and silver from the company?s recently produced concentrates at the Deer Trail mill facility.  Several tests have been conducted in the Deer Trail metallurgical facility, and samples of the concentrate were also sent to an outside laboratory for leachablity test work.  The results of the testing suggested that as much as 91% of the gold and 88% of the silver contained in the concentrate may be extractable within the first two hours of agitated leaching. The sample used in this test work represents an average of our concentrate product produced thus far in the floatation circuit at the Deer Trail Mill Facility.  The procedure was conducted by fire assay and yielded 0.43 oz/ton gold (Au) and 71 oz/ton silver (Ag).

The company also recently reported the presence of tellurium, an extremely rare element which is used in a variety of applications, at the Deer Trail Mine.  Unico is currently exploring all available commercial opportunities for the tellurium content.
