ST1, This is from another board, posted by our dear friend Goldy... Hope it helps.
STAGES FOR THE DEADLY ART OF STOCK MANIPULATION
The Short & Distort Scheme
Stage I: Monitoring
In stage I of a Short & Distort scheme Short groups Monitor spikes in volumes on stocks with no rumors.
Stage 2: Flagging
Shorts Flag stocks that run up then sits back and wait patiently for their time.
Stage 3: Preparation
The Shorters research the company and develop their Distortion of the rumors to be used later.
Stage 4: Actual Shorting
The shorts step in selling on every possible up tick. This is the Reverse of front loading. Preparations are made to attack the guy who had earlier written positively about the company and take out, discredit, any new long-term champions or messengers.
Stage 5: Distortion Campaign
The shorts step in and increase selling on every possible up tick. Just as with the pump, newsletters, e-mail, PR firms against P & D, etc. are simulated. Expertise in the field is recruited for credibility. Any possible twist using POS (Purposely Omitted Syntax) and PAS (Purposely Added Syntax) is conveniently used on every possible angle. If the POS/PAS is discovered then attack the messenger. Above all control the message boards.
The group clutters the message boards so no positive information can be readily found. Justification is the Value of the Company in the market. Projections of $0.00 worth and loss projections of 100%
Note: The market manipulator will do everything in his/her power to keep buyers OUT OF THE STOCK. Cut your losses is touted to stimulate fear. You bought higher but now they need you to sell lower.
Stage 6: Pressure
The shorts have taken it too far. The volume is increasing and the price is not effectively dropping. A stalemate occurs. Personal attacks increase. Threats of legal action, SEC involvement, and yes even death threats increase. Increased secret IDs are employed to increase the cluttering, personal attacks and the distortion. So begins a string of lies that run for as long as one's stomach can take it. Desperately playing on the "you have been had" scenario. Any new news will be hit it hard by shorters to kill any interest.
Note: Watch the volume not the share price. A market manipulator will have various brokers buying and selling the stock to give the APPEARANCE of increasing volume but the price goes down. Thus stimulating the story the company is selling or an off shore reg S or other convenient scenario. Watch for large blocks that show up but have a MM special code, cross overs, etc.
Stage 7: The Cover
Without warning the buying pressure is too much and the short begins to cover. Short covering combined with new investors buying into the stock causes the stock to go up. Often the whole thing starts again. Just a vicious cycle sometimes.
If I am reading the trade correctly... that would be 26,600,000 shares purchased at .0063.
After hours ask is currently .0064.
Someone just invested $167,580.00 in our beloved UNICO in one trade.
Go to level II...
New money coming into UNICO of any significance will not be the direct result of "firing" the 7 dwarfs...
The song has very strong centimental value to me, and I am wondering if I can go on without it...
7 courageous miners who have been the target of obvious dwarf-a-phobia!
What next?
Remove Wayne Ashes video with his Captain America shirt?
Swayne... good point. eom
Goldy, I agree with you... the lease is a done deal. I am glad that UNICO mgmt. is not revealing their entire hand.
The nervous "nellies" on this board should continue to bolster their confidence through their due diligence... then if they don't like the "waiting", then by all means, sell your shares and move on to something else.
I honestly don't know what is worse, the bashers or the cry-babies.
Oh, and thank God that you took the music off the board. It was just a matter of time before UNICO went bankrupt if you allowed it to continue. Entire financial institutions were at risk.
You saved our stock and most of known civilization by removing the "heigh-ho" song.
God bless you Goldy... now does anyone have a bucket I can puke into...
Add 3 years to the 10, another 0 to the 20 tons and add a zero to the 44,000 and you have the upgraded mill figures as this was written in 2003 before they realised the incredible value to the mill the upgrade would make and add to that the increase in price for precious metals, well folks,,, we have a winner...

UNICO: Producing Gold & Silver
From Historic Utah Mines
Deer Trail Mine literally a "mountain of metals"
UNICO, Inc. (OTC BB: UNCN) -- www.uncn.com -- spent 10 years refitting and developing the resource potential of its historic Deer Trail Mine, has fired up its new processing mill and is ready to produce and ship gold and silver concentrates.
Once the mill fully ramps up and can ship its 20-ton capacity, the company will earn $44,000 daily potentially adding up to more than $10-million annually.
"Shipments of our concentrates and revenues are imminent," says UNICO CEO Ray Brown. "The potential of the Deer Trail Mine is much larger than most people think. It's a remarkable resource a mountain of metals"
And the Deer Trail is not UNICO's only precious metals asset. The company either owns or leases (with options to buy) a number of other historic Utah mines that hold real promise for development of existing resources and further exploration.
Valuable Mining Properties
UNICO's Utah precious and base metals properties host an enormous resource potential based on both historic and recently updated estimates of gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead values. The company plans to concentrate its initial development efforts at the Deer Trail Mine to create a solid revenue stream to finance development of its other properties.
Historically, UNICO's Utah mining properties were significant precious metals producers. Idled for many years, the mines are far from played out.
This past spring, twenty-five geologists and mining professionals attending a Utah meeting of the Geological Society of America, visited the Deer Trail and took samples for study. The group concluded that many rich silver, gold, lead, copper and zinc manto deposits remain to be exploited.
The GSA team was excited by the possibility that a much larger feeder system may lie beneath Deer Trail Mountain and could be the source of many of the rich gold/silver and alunite mines in the historic Marysvale District. The Deer Trail mineralization system was likened to the deep copper/gold deposits at El Indio in Chile.
The alunite cap over the Deer Trail deposit is among the purest in the world, according to UNICO, and could indicate a major copper-porphyry system similar to the Tintic District, Kennecott's Bingham Canyon and the Ruth deposit near Ely, Nevada.
The Deer Trail Mine:
Estimated resource*: 287,420 oz. gold, 27.8 million oz. silver, 65,220 tons lead, and 131,610 tons zinc.
The underground mine is in a halo of gold bearing and base and precious metal manto deposits. Quartz veins contain gold, silver, and minor base metals. Particularly high grades, averaging 0.18 oz/ton gold and 20 oz/ton silver, in the 3400 area of the PTH tunnel are favorable for near-term, cost-effective production. The contained mineralized resource includes a 30,000 ton proven and probable drill-indicated block confirmed by two major mining companies in the 1980s, a projected 120,000 ton block and an inferred block of more than 1 million tons.
The 8600 area of the Deer Trail has an inferred block of 496,000 tons of massive sulfides. UNICO's chief geologist Dan Proctor says other known fissures will substantially increase the mine's potential.
Resources within the original mine workings include lower grade gold and silver mineralization. Old tailings contain 186,000 tons of recoverable ore averaging 0.04 oz/ton gold, 3.6 oz/ton silver and some lead. Old dumps contain about 120,000 tons of gold, silver and lead ores that can be upgraded by screening.
The Silver Bell Mine:
Estimated resource*: 8,100 oz. gold, 15.7 million oz. silver, 22,500 tons lead, 54,000 tons zinc and 15,350 tons copper.
The Silver Bell's potential as a high-grade silver mine was hampered historically by its high elevation. Recent exploratory work has uncovered silver-bearing ore assaying as high as 120 oz/ton. Every face in the underground mine has mineable ore. The resource is estimated to contain over 450,000 tons based on strike and dip projections, confirmed by two independent engineering firms.
"The mine is in good shape and very mineral rich, maybe the only silver mine left in the Park City district that has never been drilled or adequately explored ," says Proctor.
The Bromide Basin Mines:
Estimated resource*: 372,000 oz. gold.
The Bromide Basin includes at least four mines; the Kimble and Turner, Crescent Creek, Henrietta and the Bromide Mine an underground mine with northeasterly striking veins with breccia pipes averaging 7 oz/ton gold. The vein structure averages 2 feet in width and can be traced on surface for more than 1,800 feet with several visible, gold-enriched outcroppings.
Samples from the main Bromide vein show an average grade of 2.73 oz/ton gold, 7.86 oz/ton silver, and 21.7 percent copper. UNICO is currently mining the vein and plans to process the ore into gold concentrates at the Deer Trail Mill.
"This vein ore is very rich, approximately $1,100 a ton and will need very little prep work," says Proctor.
Proctor discovered a new high-grade gold vein at the Bromide Mine this spring. Initial assays rate the vein at 1.236 oz/ton gold and 0.75 oz/ton silver. The company is planning a drill program to establish proven tonnage prior to developing a full mining plan.
The Crescent Creek mine is adjacent to the Bromide and contains mostly oxide ore averaging over 0.25 oz/ton gold with minor copper inclusions. The underground workings are close to surface.
The Kimble and Turner Mine's underground workings are along a northeasterly striking vein with associated breccia pipes. A 4-foot wide vein extends 400+ feet and averages 2.0 oz/ton gold with some copper.
The Henrietta Mine is a mineralized exposure on surface assaying as high as 3 oz/ton gold. Although overall ore averages are lower, company officials say recoverable tonnages will be high.
*These resource estimates are not proven or probable reserves. They are based on data generated by past producers, independent exploration data and drill intercepts, geological conditions of the area, projections of known mineralized horizons and structures and in house sampling. Reserves will be announced when they have been proven up by the standards of the mining industry.
Production Mill On Stream
Proctor says UNICO focused this summer's work at the Deer Trail Mill on fine-tuning the reagents schemes to produce cleaner, higher-grade concentrates. The final touches on the mill will be completed in September with the installation of sophisticated fluid and volume metering systems. Deer Trail ore is concentrated through both gravity and flotation circuits producing a high grade Pb/Ag concentrate with appreciable gold and a clean marketable zinc concentrate. The gold ores from the Bromide Basin will produce a free milling gold product as well as a gold concentrate that will be sent to a smelting facility.
The company has arranged terms with metals brokers and smelters for the purchase of both lead/silver and gold/silver concentrates. Similar terms for zinc concentrates are pending assay results.
UNICO initially plans to deliver 20 tons of lead/silver concentrate from its Deer Trail Mine, eventually ramping up to 70+ tons a week, including 5 to 10 tons from the Bromide Basin Mines.
"Our unwavering goal has always been the profitable production of gold, silver, lead, copper and zinc concentrates in our new mill. And now we're there!" says Brown.
Investment Considerations
With its milling operation running; miners blasting in the mountain; substantial amounts of ore stockpiled; concentrates bagged pending shipment; and other promising properties poised for development, UNICO is well positioned to take advantage of a price increase in either precious or base metals.
High-level assays of current known resources are a fact. Future drilling and exploration to expand resources and prove up reserves at all UNICO mines are expected to substantially increase the company's value -- and revenues.
UNICO recently secured $550,000 in private financing through a loan from a long-term "bullish" investor. The funds will be used to supplement ore production income and accelerate ongoing development and production of its three mining properties.
"We believe we have a rare mining opportunity. We are very excited about the immediate and future prospects for all three of our mines to resume production, enhance proven reserves and explore new economic ore-bearing zones," says Brown.
UNICO Mines Steeped in Utah Mining History
It doesn't matter which of UNICO's three Utah mines you choose, each is filled with the rich and adventurous history of the early west, its explorers and its intrepid gold miners.
Gold was discovered at the Deer Trail Mine in 1878. During its mining history, apprsoximately 200,000 ounces of gold ranging from 2 to 7 oz./ton and 1.5 million ounces of silver valued at more than $30 million in today's dollars were processed. Exploration programs conducted by Phelps Dodge, Noranda and Goldfields and geologist reports in 1997 and 2002 indicate high levels of ore still remain. UNICO obtained a lease-option in 1992 (renewed in 2001).
The Silver Bell Mine, located in the Wasatch Mountains, was discovered in 1871 and produced more than 100 tons of ore graded at more than 100 oz/ton by 1881. A $250,000 feasibility study by Watts, Griffis, and McQuat commissioned in 1996 concluded the Silver Bell has "great potential". UNICO acquired 100 percent ownership of the Silver Bell in 2000.
UNICO's Bromide Basin Mines in the fabled Henry Mountains includes four major mines and a prospector's lore of a Lost Spanish Gold Mine with legendary rich deposits. The Bromide vein was discovered in 1889 or 1890, and produced about 7,500 ounces of gold in 1892. Breccia pipes assay as high as 26 oz/ton and average 7 oz/ton. UNICO leased the 400-acre mining properties in 2001 and has extracted a 2,500 ton bulk sample that will be processed and tested at the Deer Trail Mill.
OK... Goldentoy, whatever you say...eom
Goldy, It might be a good idea to remind posters who make statements about UNICO to verify their statements with facts.
As an assistant moderator I will have no choice but to remove remove posts without factual basis as they will be deemed as hear-say and inadmisable unless they have "In my opinon" or IMO attached.
At the very least, it will stop incorrect statements about UNICO from being posted and give the new investors an opportunity to do their own DD without bias.
I will be glad when the mill is operational (within the next 4-6 weeks) IMO and we can be rid of the negative posters on this board.
LG, If I had the coin right now I would be driving the price up... in other words, the truck would be backed up.
A few years ago my wife saw STUOF (now RTHXF) on cbs market watch as it's featured stock @ .69.
We bought a bunch, sold @ .89 then got some for the long haul.
We would go "months" without news and last year it went down to the .30 cent range.
They then sold to Rolling Thunder and it became an exclusive Canadian stock. We decided to sell and when it did go Canadian, the volume dried up.
It also went to $2 a share within 5 months, and i really don't want to talk about it!
Why did you ask such a painful question?
I need a drink...
And yes Loadedgun... this is your life...
6. Laying on that ore pile drunk as a skunk on a Saturday night is one thing that I can look back on and chuckle.
Beautiful area
Ilove the fact that you staggered the hallowed halls of the Deer Trail, with only one exception... you didn't take the rest of us with you...
And just a soon as the handles arrive they will be ready for installation to complete the door opening process which is essential for porta-pottie usage.
Plans for the porta-pottie installation are in the final stages and all essential permit applications have been filed.
The "lighting" for the porta-potties has been ordered and like everything else is expected "next" week...
Me too.....eom
My favorite part of the press release...
"and the lighting has been ordered with delivery expected next week."
Longs, Even I had to laugh at that line... OH-BOY... lighting next week.
Next thing you know... "Extension cords to connect the transformers have been ordered and are expected to arrive early in the spring...of what year, we are not certain, but soon after, we expect the energy efficient door knobs and hinges to be in the final stages of completion with installation to be on-going throughout the summer.
Once this phase is complete, we will then order the male/female connections for the extension cords and will install them onsite in anticipation to turn on the transformers just as soon as we order the on/off switches which we will expect delivery sometime in the fall..." roflmbo.
CRICKEY!
buylowe, it's all good.
It could not be a better time for the mill to start-up. Spring and then crank-it-up through the summer and fall.
Also bear in mind, the mill can opeerate year round... weather has a limited affect on it's location.
P2
The music is a little change of pace.. and Ya gotta love the 7 dwarfs...
Heigh-HO!!!
The DAtona 500... Gonna be a big weekend.
Buylowe, The girl in question who has threatened you is not a moderator and therefore cannot censor you, but can only file a complaint with the ihub mgmt.
Personally I think mgmt. is getting the drift where these people are concerned and is getting fed up with them.
They destroyed the RB UCOI board (incl. spyware if you log on... I was told) and I trust ihub mgmt. will keep them on a short lease and not let them contaminate UCOI here as well.
IMO, buylowe, you have brought alot to the table, and if I were you, I would not interact with people of this sort. Their demise is already upon them.
Unico is set to go and really... you don't have time for this nonsesnse... imo
ad1, word on the street is that the mill should be operational by spring (1st day of spring is March 21st) and ramping up to full production this summer.
March 21st is 34 days from today... hence, the countdown is 34 more days till spring.
In my opinion the switch will be flipped by spring...
Not a buy, sell or hold reccomendation... but I'm buying more.lol
DCD, The transformers they are installing is the key to production. The thickener should be complete and the transformers ready to go soon.
Watch fro the next press release. It will give us a better idea.
SB...P.S. Just turn your volume down or mute it and then you can read all the wondeful stuff, over and over again without a problem...
It's not a big deal... really.
SB, Just set it to "hide board info" and problem solved...
Go Dwarfs go...
Goldy, Great job... Keep up the great work and will talk to you soon...
"money-money-money...MONEY!
Can you "dig" it...
HD, This is a great group of longs invested in Unico that we have. A great support team.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed and congratulations to those who have not been shaken out.
Anyone can quit, and remember this...
"Champions are not those who never fail. Champions are those who never quit."
Edwin Louis Cole
Hiland-fling, If you are going through in February what i went through in December, consider you may still be going through it in April as we still are going through it now...
How in the world can people accumulate so much krap???
Next time, if there s a next time, We will sell all our stuff and have a furniture store deliver everything and put it where we want it...
Now, Get ready for the next press release. It's coming soon and will be a good one.
Unico is starting to simmmer, and getting ready to boil. Watch the bounce, coming to a chart near you.
P2
CRIKEY!... eom
And once again Goldy has "dug" up some great information...
It can be found on board information...
Hiegh-Ho!!!
Secrectly recorded at a UNICO mgmt. meeting... which 7 board members attended...
HD, Don't let the absurd get to you. Just keep posting any information you get and stay encouraged.
I agree with you across the board and i won't engage anymore... it's a waste of time and intelligence.
We should be getting that press release regarding the tramsformers and thickener real soon.
After that... time to kick the tires and light the fires...
As Captain Ron says... "If anything is going to happen, it's going to happen out there"
OH,why thank you so very very much for the info Hopeful....
And goodnight john-boy...
I just might hurl...
NYB, Speculation plays are the most exciting... imo
Great post. Rumor has it that Bromide Basin may be a good candidate for open pit mining.
Mr. Brown's favorite property seems to be the Bromide and I think he's right on the money.
If all UNICO had, was the Bromide Basin Mine, we would all do well... someone was quoted as saying... however, UNICO has alot more and that is why the huge upgrade to the mill.
We haven't even got the geologist's report on the black gold...
It just keeps getting better.
ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!1 eom...
ST, It's all good... and "cha-ching"
Goldy, Some posts on this board are equal to someone dropping their drawers and crapping on the dinner table.
These posters turned the other board into a ghost town with their smut.
Someone should enlighten admin matt to their debauchery... (don't know what that means but heard it while watching pirate movies and it sounded good).
UNICO is a good company and even though we bought shares before the reverse split and the price dropped after, we are glad to have helped Ray Brown and UNICO mgmt. rebuild the mill.
The real travesty is this... bashers have been succeeding at destroying companies and peoples lives and have been thriving on it.
Well, no more and not here...
I appeal to your sense of fair play admin matt... read ronnings posts and decide for yourself if he/she is not a self serving, bashing truth twisting individual that most people on this board could do without.
In short, matt, he/she is a pain in the a s s and disrubts this board... If you have any doubts, just ask derbenski... he even agrees.
ST1, I don't have any specifics at this time... The source of this information has proven to be reliable in the past.
Goldenrod, I just spoke with Mr. Beyer at IR...
From what hw understands, the 1st transformer should be there by now.
The second transformer should be purchased by now and is en-route or there as well.
The "thickener" is being built and may be completed at this time.
He is calling the mill to get updates and we should see a press release shortly... with pictures...
As far as capacity goes, it will be determined by how they decide to process and permits.
Hope this helps... and to the new folks on-board, do yourselves a favor, make up your own mind whether you want to buy, sell or hold based on your own DD... not anyone elses, unless you can verify it.
The past is over, these guys are on the threshold of something big. How do I know... I've done my homework and live in the present.
P.S. Rumor has it that mining companies have been loading up on UNICO shares.
Goldy, I think you need "tech" support...eom
SB, I have a "feeling" Bromide Basin might be mined before DT.
...don't ask...
GoldenBotox, As always your posts have brought us much enlightenment and have proved to be "spot" on.
When UNICO does it's thing, how about the faithful longs having a "union". That would be the same as a reunion but since it would be a first get together it would then be called a union.
Because until you have a first you can't have a "re". (tech is rubbing-off on me).
Vancouver BC sounds like a good place...
SB, Thanks for the great posts today. I haven't been able to post much lately and I'm glad to see the board holding its own and gaining momentum with some serious DD and common sense.
I would say cheers but I'm from America...
LG, You are on a roll...
UNICO is ready to install the transformers and flip the switch on their state-of-the-art automated 24/7 facility.
Watch for the subpoenas to soon follow. The "S" is going to hit the fan...
Thanks for the laughs today... you crack'ed me up!
tech,
I need a drink... lol.
So what you are saying is that in regards to UNICO and this message board if one were to say that The reverse floataion tanks purchased have the capability of removing the zinc oxcide from the exterior of the interior walls of the ore removed from the breccia pipes discoverewd in the bromide basin mine back in 1887 then that would be tantamount to what we have had to endure with the bashers incesant posting?
Make that a double...
5 Years... could be less depending on mill upgrades...
This is huge folks. imo
Goldy, It makes one wonder why someone would spend so much time posting on a message board with no financial interest what-so-ever.
The only logical explanation that could be, is she bought a long time ago at a much higher price and lost her butt.
It happens. But sometimes we need to cut our losses and move on.
I personally believe UNICO is on the threshold of generating a positive cash flow through production, and maybe these prior investors would do well to pick up some shares and regain some of their losses.
