General Metals Receives Water Rights Permit on the Independence Project
General Metals Receives Water Rights Permit on the Independence Project

RENO, NV--(Marketwire - 09/09/09) - General Metals Corporation (the "Company") (OTC.BB:GNMT - News) (Frankfurt:GMQ - News), announces receipt of a water rights permit for portions of Sections 28 and 33 (T31N, R43E), in Lander County, NV, the proposed center of the Independence Mine's process area. The water rights were granted to General Gold Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary and the permit has been signed by the Nevada State Engineer. An additional water rights application has been filed and is pending on section 17, which is the 480 acres of private land purchased by the Company for additional mineral processing.

"This permit provides sufficient water to get our mineral processing operations underway," said Company President and CEO Steve Parent. "We can bring 700,000 tons of new crushed ore under leach on each lift on a regular basis as we expect to be recirculating approximately 75% of the process water (allowing for evaporation). Once the pending water rights permit is finalized, we will have adequate water to operate a large mine 24/7. Dyer Engineering did an excellent job on this project as they have on the other projects required to get the Independence Project into production."

The Company has selected the Merrill Crow precious metals recovery process system for the Independence Mine Project. This process system is particularly well suited for the mineralized material identified by drilling at the project which includes a high ratio of silver to gold. This process method was deployed successfully at the previous mine constructed by Management in the Comstock Lode in 2003 - 2004 and has proven to be the most effective method of gold and silver recovery.

Dan Forbush, the Company's CFO added, "One more item on the checklist to production is now completed. This, along with the receipt of the baseline environmental studies completed by the Company, brings us steps closer to production. Our consultants and contractors continue to push each item in its appropriate place to get all tasks completed to obtain the permits required for production of gold and silver from the project. We once again wish to express our gratitude to those shareholders who brought the funding to the company to allow us to complete these tasks and push this project forward."
