General Metals CFO Reviews Company Progress Towards Production in Wall Street Reporter Interview

RENO, NV, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
General Metals Corporation (the "Company") (OTCBB: GNMT) (FRANKFURT: GMQ)
announced that Dan Forbush, CFO, was interviewed by Jack Marks of the
Wall Street Reporter. The recent progress of the Company was reviewed
including the following:

1. The Company's Independence Project has all the elements to be a company
builder and exhibits many similarities to the Glamis' Picacho Mine
which was the profitable property that started that company and
provided the foundation of a very successful mining company which
eventually resulted in a sale of the Company to Goldcorp for more than
$50 per share.
2. The Independence Project includes both a shallow and a deep component.
The shallow mineralization appears to be amenable to low cost open pit
mining and heap leaching.
3. The Company's business plan is to become a mid-tier mining company
using the Glamis model beginning with the Independence and acquiring
other projects which will allow it to become a more than 200,000 ounces
per year gold producer.
4. We are progressing on the permitting to bring the project into
production as soon as possible
