General Metals Reports Hill Zone Delineation Drilling Defines +360 Foot (110 Meter) Wide Mineralized Zone at Independence Property
General Metals Reports Hill Zone Delineation Drilling Defines +360 Foot (110 Meter) Wide Mineralized Zone at Independence Property

RENO, NV, Feb 22, 2010

General Metals Corporation (the "Company") (OTCBB: GNMT) (FRANKFURT: GMQ), is pleased to announce final assay results for the remaining delineation drill holes along Section 3600 North in the Hill Zone at Company's Independence Gold - Silver Property. Drill hole assays identify a shallow near surface oxide gold - silver mineralized body with a combined interpreted width that ranges to more than 360 feet (110 meters) in near surface oxide mineralization. These results complete the drilling on Section 3600 North in the Hill Zone and provide important definition and continuity information which will be necessary in future resource modeling and mine planning. Additional results will be announced as they are received, modeled and interpreted by the Company.

Table 1 below summarizes the significant intercepts contained in holes GM 93 and 121: http://www.irw-press.com/dokumente/GNMT_Table1_220210.pdf

All 2009 - 2010 drill results have thus far encountered widths and gold and silver grades equal to or greater than expected by the Company's consultants. The 2009 -2010 drilling program was designed specifically to increase drill hole density and thereby the statistical confidence levels for resource modeling in the Hill Zone. As the Company moves forward into Feasibility and Production, this tighter drill hole spacing is necessary for mine planning and to define Proven and Probable reserve categories.

Collectively the drilling on Section 3600N defines a cohesive, shallow to moderately west-dipping zone of near surface oxide gold - silver mineralization. The drill indicated extent of the mineralized body, at surface, is interpreted to be more than 360 feet (approx 110 meters) wide in true width and continuous with mineralization on adjoining drill sections to the north and the south of 3600 North.

Table 2 below summarizes the significant intercepts contained in holes GM 79, 80 89, 90, 91 and 92. As announced in the press releases of January 6 and December 3, 2009: http://www.irw-press.com/dokumente/GNMT_Table2_220210.pdf

As announced by the Company in its press release dated February 2, 2010, the 2009 - 2010 drilling program is completed. The Company completed 44 reverse circulation drill holes with a total combined footage of 12,895 feet of reverse circulation (RC) drilling, all in the Hill Zone. Drilling activities have ceased, the drill has been mobilized from the property and all samples have been delivered to American Assay for analysis. The results will be announced as results are received and interpreted.

All sampling was conducted by industry accepted standards and samples split to approximately 1/8 of the original volume using a "Jones Type" riffle splitter. Samples were stored on site until either shipped to the laboratory or picked up in the field by the laboratory. In keeping with the Company's practice of following industry accepted "best practices", drilling is sampled in five (5) foot intervals. The Company inserts a series of Standards, blanks and Certified Reference materials at a rate of approximately 1 in 30, for Quality Assurance - Quality Control.
