Unico, Inc. Announces Additional Progress Update in Completion Phase of Reconstruction of the Mill and Processing Facility at the Deer Trail Mine

Unico, Incorporated, a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced additional developments in the reconstruction of the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale, Utah. Progress includes work in the main mill building, in the new building that will house the filtration and thickener, and on the new electrical substation that will provide power to the mill and additional activities at the mine.

Several large steel tanks have been purchased from Questar Gas, the local natural gas provider, and installed in the new mill building. These tanks can be used in the floatation circuit to re-circulate water from the tailings. Construction of the thickener in the new building is ongoing and the lighting has been ordered with delivery expected next week.

In the main mill building, safety guards that cover the main drive pulleys and ring gear have been fabricated and installed, all in accordance with MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) requirements.

BNA consulting is finalizing the blueprints for the new substation and construction is expected to begin shortly. With the completed blueprints, the ground will be prepared and leveled and a concrete foundation will be poured for the main transformer, which is now ready for delivery to the site.

“We have been extremely fortunate and have experienced good weather conditions this winter at the Deer Trail Mine,” said Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc. “Since the beginning of the year, there has been consistent progress on the reconstruction of the mill and processing facility, and the recent work in both the main mill building and the new building have taken us further through the completion phase of this project.

“As we continue to complete our work in those buildings, we will also focus considerable attention on the construction of the new substation, which will provide power to our reconstructed mill and help it to run in a more cost-effective manner. We are pleased with this progress and look forward to reporting additional milestones in the next several weeks,” added Mr. Lopez.
