General Metals Update: Nine Drill Holes at the Independence Mine in Battle Mountain, Nevada Show Expected Mineralization With Assay Results to Follow

Posted on: Tuesday, 9 October 2007, 09:00 CDT

General Metals Corporation (OTCBB: GNMT) (FRANKFURT: GMQ) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the initial nine drill holes competed at the Independence mine show expected mineralization that has previously been identified by historic drilling campaigns. These samples are at ALS Chemex assay lab in Elko, NV. The Phase 1 drilling program will take place in stages, beginning with the first 25 holes at an average depth of about 400 feet (10,000 feet).

Sam Nunnamaker, P. Geo in charge of Phase 1 exploration drilling, said: "The 100 or so previously drilled holes all contained mineralized material based on historical assays and these new holes all contain mineralized material as well. Assay results will ultimately determine the values of gold and silver expected to be contained in this material. Our drillers will take from the 10th to the 16th off and work the next 15 days non-stop. Assay results should start coming in around the 16th and be forthcoming steadily from then forward. We can get better guidance for drilling once our assays catch up to the drilling operation."

Drilling results will be published as available over the next several weeks and these results will be used to generate a comprehensive report under SEC Industry Guide 7 over the next few months at the conclusion of Phase 1.
