Unico, Inc. *** NEWS *** Agreement to Acquire
Additional Utah - Lease on -
The Clyde and Crown Point Mineral Claims -
Tuesday August 8, 10:15 am ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 8, 2006 --
Unico, Incorporated
(OTC BB:UNCN.OB - News),
a natural resource company in the precious metals mining
sector, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary,
Deer Trail Mining Company, Inc., -
has signed an agreement to acquire an additional mining
lease in Piute County Utah for the purpose of conducting
mine exploration, evaluation, and mining activities on
the leased property.
The lease is a 33-acre property, which includes the
patented Clyde and Crown Point mineral claims,
located directly southwest of -
The Deer Trail Mill site -
in the Mount Baldy Mining District.
The Clyde claim was originally staked in the 1880s
when silver and gold ore was discovered on the hillside.
Shortly thereafter, the Crown Point claim was staked,
partially overlapping the Clyde.
Under terms of the agreement,
Deer Trail Mining Company -
will hold the leased premises for the purpose of exploring,
evaluating and mining all kinds of minerals and ores
for a period of approximately two years from the
July 31, 2006 effective date of the lease agreement.
The Deer Trail Mining Company -
has the right to extend the term of the agreement
for up to fifty consecutive additional one-year periods
by giving the lease holder written notice of -
The Deer Trail Mining Company's election to extend -
on or before July 31 of each year, beginning in 2008.
In consideration for the rights given under the agreement,
the Deer Trail Mining Company agreed to pay
the lease holder an amount equal to three percent of
the gross sales proceeds from all ore, concentrates,
and all other productions of mineral resources extracted
from the claims.
"This acquisition is significant for several reasons,
not the least of which is to again demonstrate Unico's
commitment to its subsidiary operations in the area of -
The Deer Trail Mine," -
stated Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of
Unico, Inc.
"We expect to be there for a long time, and with the
expected completion of the mill and processing facility
located at the Deer Trail Mine -
it only makes sense for Unico to pursue additional
favorable acquisition opportunities as they
present themselves.
"Historical information from the two claims,
as well as recent in-house analysis, has led us
to believe that a significant amount of economically
extractable mineral could exist on this lease,
and we look forward to the opportunity to explore
the possibilities as part of our ongoing efforts to
build value for Unico shareholders.
An in-depth sampling program is scheduled during the coming
weeks and depending on the results of that program, drilling
may be scheduled for early next year," added Mr. Lopez.
Unico is financing the reconstruction of the mill
and processing facility at
the Deer Trail Mine -
for the purpose of improving the efficiency and capacity
of future operations at the facility as the company
begins processing stockpiled material currently present
on the property.
The facility will be utilized to process material harvested
from future mining programs at the Deer Trail Mine,
stockpiled and subsequently mined material from the other
Unico subsidiaries, and similar material from
additional acquisitions, such as this lease.
Once the mill is operational, and material from these
properties is processed, the concentrates will be sold
in fulfillment of the company's five-year purchase contract
with PGM, LLC, a private subsidiary of Polymet Corporation.

press releases, SEC filings or other information is
