RENO, NV, Nov 03, 2009--

General Metals Corporation (the "Company") (OTCBB: GNMT) (FRANKFURT: GMQ1) completed 5 of its planned 44 holes in the current reverse circulation (RC) fill-in drilling program on the Hill Zone at its Independence Gold - Silver Mine last week. The drilling is being sampled in five (5) foot intervals, in keeping with industry accepted "best practices." The first batch of samples were accepted by American Assay Laboratories on Friday.

"This drilling is undertaken to allow the Company to prepare the definitive advanced pit design and mine plan as well as improve the overall contained ounces in the Company's CNI 43-101 compliant resource calculation," remarked Daniel J. Forbush, the Company's CFO.

Steve Parent, Company President and CEO, added, "The excellent metallurgical recovery in our bottle roll tests of 84.5%, reported in the Company's press release dated October 5, 2009, along with a low apparent strip ratio and higher than average grade all make the Hill Zone the location for initial mining."

The permitting process proceeds on schedule. Dyer Engineering continues on the fastest track possible to bring the project to near term production as soon as permitting and financing allow.

"Management is very pleased with the progress being made at the Independence Project," said Steve Parent. "Our trip to Europe to discuss the Company's activities and future goals was very well received and we find new friends and supporters every time we tell our story."

Further details regarding the Independence mineralization, drilling efforts, both historical and recent together with current permitting activity are available on the Company's website www.gnmtlive.com

About General Metals Corporation: General Metals Corporation is an aggressive junior minerals exploration and development company, based in Reno, Nevada. The Company is actively exploring and developing its 100% controlled Independence property strategically located in the prolific and highly prospective Battle Mountain Mining District of Nevada where the Company recently announced Independently determined resources containing in excess of 1.07 million ounces of gold and 3.8 million ounces of silver. The Company is also evaluating potential acquisitions in Nevada that may be developed from future cash flow from our planned Independence operation. Permitting and Engineering for our planned heap leach production is underway at our Independence Mine.

The above resource estimate adheres to the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (CIM) guidelines, however the reader is strongly cautioned that under CIM guidelines Inferred resources are not additive to Measured and Indicated resources and that the confidence level inherent in Inferred resources are insufficient to permit meaningful application of technical or economic modeling and must be excluded from estimates forming the basis of feasibility or other economic models. The reader is also cautioned that this resource estimate is not compliant with SEC Industry Guide 7 guidelines which recognize only Proven and Probable reserves and do not recognize any resource category. Management has published this information for the benefit of our Canadian and European investors, who readily understand CNI 43-101 compliant information and regularly use it for comparison of similar development stage mining companies.(See Resource Table in the Company's Press Release dated October 19, 2009)
