Unico, Inc. Announces Initial Geological Work Conducted at -
Clyde and Crown Point Mines -
Unico, Incorporated -
(OTCBB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced that initial geological work has been conducted in the areas of
the Clyde and Crown Point mining -
claims by Dean Misantoni, senior geologist for
Deer Trail Mining Company -
a wholly owned subsidiary of
Unico, Incorporated.

The Clyde and Crown Point -
claims were subjects of a lease agreement with
Deer Trail Mining Company, Inc. -
that was announced in July 2006.

The report submitted by Mr. Misantoni states:

"Since August, 2007,
initial geologic work has been conducted on the Clyde and Crown Point Mine areas.
This includes the review of very limited previous geochemical data and maps of the area, aerial photographic examination, surface reconnaissance mapping and sampling, and
Brunton and tape mapping/sampling of -
accessible underground workings.

As of this date, some 20 samples have been collected and
analyzed by ALS Chemex in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The initial focus has been on understanding the nature of
the deposit(s), establishing -
the widths of mineralized structures, establishing -
the geochemical signature of the mineralization -
as an aid in guiding further exploration at depth,
and its relationship to the mining district as a whole.

A mineralized, generally fine-grained hornblende-biotite
porphyry of unknown dimensions is exposed on the surface
and in underground workings on the property.
It crops out over at least 500 feet in an east-west direction
in the vicinity of the of
the Clyde adits,
and extends downhill to the south to near Cottonwood Creek Road.
It was not noted in or near -
the Crown Point Mine.
Faulted and mineralized intrusive contacts are exposed,
either within steeply dipping clastic rocks, possibly shales
of the Triassic Chinle Formation, on the west, or
quartzites of the Jurassic Navajo sandstone on the east.

The property lies along several large, regional faults,
and the Mesozoic sedimentary rocks are jumbled and rotated
to near vertical, probably due to fault rotation, and
possibly in part due to the intrusion.
The form of the intrusive body appears to be that of a
small plug or stock, as opposed to a dike, at the
present level of exposure. Hydrothermal alteration varies
from moderate propylitization (chlorite, magnetite, calcite)
to intense phyllic alteration (clay/sericite)
with disseminated pyrite and Fe-oxides.
Rocks devoid of alteration are not exposed.

Mineralization consists of veins and mineralized
breccias within the intrusion, and extends into
the country rocks, which are sometimes altered
to hornfels or fine-grained, green calc-silicate
assemblages.

The strongest zones of mineralization seem to occur
along the northwest flank of the intrusion, at
the brecciated contact of the intrusion with the
enclosing sedimentary rocks, at the junction of at
least two faults.

Minerals consist of fine-grained
pyrite-chalcopyrite-galena-sphalerite-tetrahedrite-tennantite
in white to clear quartz veins and breccias.
Other phases (enargite-covellite-chalcocite) have
been tentatively identified.
The mineralization appears to be unoxidized except
for extensive, post-mine copper sulfate staining of
fractures in the upper Clyde adit winze.

Although much work remains to be done,
the Clyde prospect -
is definitely anomalous in a suite of elements,
including gold (Au),
silver (Ag),
copper (Cu),
lead (Pb),
zinc (Zn),
molybdenum (Mo),
bismuth (Bi),
barium (Ba,)
and fluorine (F),
consistent with the model for the mining district
as a whole, and with a subvolcanic
porphyry-type environment.

The petrology of the intrusive, structural setting,
and hydrothermal alteration types also fit the model
quite well.

The presence of a buried intrusive stock and
porphyry system beneath Alunite Ridge has long
been hypothesized, and the Clyde prospect
(to the south and topographically beneath Alunite Ridge)
may represent one instance where the top of such
an intrusive system is exposed at the surface.

Road access and drilling platforms are present,
and are much more logistically sound than historic
proposals to drill from platforms high on the mountains
to the north."

Mark Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc., stated,
"As we prepare to initiate processing operations at
the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine,
we will concurrently work to explore and develop
additional sources beneficial to the facility.

These sources are expected to include underground mining
activities associated with the Deer Trail Mine,
as well as other potential targets from the additional
claims in the area, which include
the Clyde and Crown Point mines.

"We are quite pleased to have received this initial report
from Mr. Misantoni and look to continue the geological
analysis of these claims as we move forward with
our exploration efforts," Mr. Lopez added.

In August 2007, Unico announced that it had completed
the purchase of
the Deer Trail Mine -
for its Deer Trail Mining Company subsidiary.
