SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 22, 2008 --

Unico, Incorporated -
(OTC BB:UCOI.OB - News), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced additional progress of reconstruction work and testing of the floatation circuit at the mill and processing facility at the Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale, Utah.

A new multimedia gallery, including photographs and video showing the testing of the mill floatation circuit, is expected to be added to the Media section of the Unico website, http://www.unicomining.com

Since the last update on the progress of mill reconstruction, the final electrical connections and piping required to begin testing of the floatation circuit with material from the site have been completed. Electrical connections to the thickener have been made, and successful testing of the lifting and rake mechanisms has been completed. The pump that will be used to transport thickened tailings to the Eimco filter has been installed as has the necessary piping. New seals for the lower gearbox of the Eimco filter have also been installed.

As the testing continues, additional improvements and adjustments are being made to the floatation circuit as needed. The company is seeking to initiate continuous processing in the near future.

All personnel are currently being trained in safety procedures associated with the mill operations in accordance with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations and guidelines.
