General Metals Management Discussion of the Surface Oxide Mineralization Under Development and the Independence Gold

RENO, NV, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
General Metals Corporation (the "Company") (OTCBB: GNMT) (FRANKFURT:
GMQ), is pleased to provide the following discussion of the Independence
Mineral System, and the connection between the Surface Oxide and the
Independence Gold Skarn mineralization beneath.

The Independence Surface Oxide Deposit is spatially and presumably
genetically associated with the sub vertical Independence Fault zone which
runs length wise along the property for more than one mile. Almost
directly beneath the Surface Oxide Deposit lies the best mineralized
portion of the Independence Gold Skarn deposit, also along the projection
of the Independence Fault in the underlying Antler Sequence. The Antler
Sequence is composed of the Edna Mountain Formation, the Antler Peak
Formation and the Battle Formation. The bulk of the skarn related gold
mineralization is contained in the Battle formation as shown on the
attached block model.

Surface oxide mineralization at the Independence Property represents the
epithermal "finger print" of underlying gold skarn mineralization in the
porphyry related gold skarn altered portion of the Independence system.
The Company believes the North - South trending Independence Fault, and
lesser related faults, acted as conduits or "plumbing systems" which
allowed mineral rich, late stage volatile fluids, fractionated from the
intrusives as they cooled and crystallized to migrate away from the high
temperature and pressure environment of the intrusive bodies. As these
fluids migrated away from intrusive bodies such as the Independence and
Copper Canyon stocks, changes in rock chemistry, temperature, pressure due
to fracturing caused the mineral solutions to become unstable resulting in
mineral deposition in favorable sites. Strong evidence of the intrusive /
porphyry association exists throughout the system in the form of diatreme
breccias and distinct geochemistry and alteration characteristic only of
porphyry related mineral systems.

Small but extensive diatreme breccias and breccia dikes, locally referred
to as "pebble dikes" occur along members of the Independence Fault zone.
These diatreme breccias typically are composed of well rounded, milled
chert pebbles in a matrix of igneous rock flour derived from the
intrusive. Numerous dikes of various ages, some of which have nearly
identical composition as the Independence Stock also cut the Pumpernickel
formation in the vicinity of mineralization and may be related to the
diatremes. The distinct geochemical characteristics of the near surface
oxide mineralization, which contains elements known to have a strong
affiliation with porphyry derived mineralization, but which are otherwise
very uncommon in epithermal mineralization also support the model of
porphyry derived mineralization at the Independence.

In addition to known mineralization in the Surface Oxide and underlying
Gold Skarn, significant potential exists to discover high grade "bonanza"
style epithermal, vein style mineralization in structures between the
Surface Oxide and the Gold Skarn. Similar high grade potential exists in
"feeder zones" below the gold skarn in the Harmony formation where the
Independence Fault cut the basement rock and allowed circulation of
mineral bearing fluids being driven off of the cooling intrusives.

Feeder Zones

Very high grade feeder zones exist on the Independence Property beneath
the Gold Skarn. Gold and silver bearing fluids appear to have circulated
through narrow feeder zones in the Cambrian age Harmony Formation along
tightly confined structures, as intersected in core hole WI-001 drilled by
Great Basin Gold where the 5.2 feet from 3297.5 to 3302.7 feet (1005.3 -
1006.9 meters) assayed 2.160 ounces of gold per ton. These narrow "feeder
zones" while very difficult to target for exploration from the surface
will likely be found below and proximal to the highest grade portions of
the gold skarn and represent a significant future high grade exploration
target, particularly if exploration can be conducted from more
advantageous underground locations in the gold skarn.

Gold Skarn Mineralization

After passing through the Harmony formation, mineral bearing fluids
migrated into the highly favorable skarn altered rocks of the Antler
Sequence. Skarn alteration induced brittleness facilitated extensive
fracturing due to structural and thermal stresses resulting in high
porosity and permeability within the skarn zone. This porosity and
permeability allowed excellent fluid circulation resulting in gold
deposition on these fractures as the solutions moved through the skarn.

Shallow Mineralization

As the mineral bearing fluids continued to migrate out and upward along
the Independence Fault and related structures, where suitable geological
environments existed additional portions of their mineral load were
deposited. The most significant of these currently known is the
Independence Surface Oxide Deposit, developed when ascending mineral
bearing fluids encountered brittle, highly fractured recrystallized,
semi-massive chert zones resulting in a porous, permeable, low temperature
environment. Hot mineralizing fluids, which may have been in the range of
280 to 300oC, circulating in the relatively cool fractured chert resulted
in significant additional thermal stress and fracturing much like pouring
hot boiling water into a cold glass induces thermal stress, fracturing and
porosity all over your kitchen.

Potential for High Angle, High Grade Veins

Significant potential exists to discover additional high grade,
epithermal, vein style "bonanza" mineralization between the Surface Oxide
Deposit and the Independence Gold Skarn. Mineralization will occur where
mineral bearing fluids circulated in structures cutting relatively
unfractured rocks where the structures had good access to low pressure,
low temperature regions, such as the near surface environment. High
pressure and temperature gradients resulting in boiling resulting in
mineral instability and subsequent deposition. In this case minerals
which had been stable and mobile in solution begin to deposit very
rapidly with the potential to form high grade vein style mineralization
which may have considerable vertical continuity and very high grades.

Development Strategy

The Company believes the logical development strategy for the Independence
Property is to develop the surface oxide mineralization, then follow with
exploration and development of the gold skarn and potential vein
structures between the surface and skarn, eventually exploring and
developing potential feeder structures in the basement rocks.

Independent Report Forthcoming

A comprehensive discussion of both areas of mineralization discussed above
will be contained in the upcoming Independent Report with resource
calculations in respective categories.
