General Metals Reports CNI 43-101 Compliant Resource Calculation Totaling 1.07 Million Ounces Gold and 3.9 Million Ounces Silver at Independence Mine, Battle Mountain, Nevada

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, Oct 21, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- General Metals Corporation (the "Company") (OTCBB: GNMT) (FRANKFURT: GMQ1), is pleased to announce it has recently received the independent resource estimate to be included in the CNI 43-101 compliant technical report for the Company's Independence Project. This estimate identifies a resource of 1,069,279 ounces of gold and 3,858,471 ounces of silver in Measured, Indicated and Inferred resource categories.

This 1,069,279-ounce gold resource is distributed between the Independence Shallow and Independence Deep zones while the 3,858,471-ounce silver resource exists in the shallow zone alone.

Table 1. Independence Resources: http://www.irw-press.com/dokumente/GNMT_211009_EN.pdf

To date, the Company has drilled approximately 60% of the indicated strike length of the Surface mineralization, where geochemistry, with multiple large gold in soil anomalies greater than 500 ppb gold, indicates additional undrilled targets exist. Management is confident future drilling will develop additional resources and increase the quantity of resource included in the Measured and Indicated categories. With mine planning, design, metallurgical and other work, Measured and Indicated resource categories are expected to be upgraded to Proven and Probable reserves as part of a Feasibility Study in the near future.

This 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.

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