WEBWIRE

(CybeRelease, April 30, 2007) – Lake Harmony, Pa. - General Metals Corporation (the “Company”) (OTC BB: GNLM) announced that it’s Board of Directors has resolved to forward split its common shares on an 11 for 10 basis. This is being done to provide a benefit to our existing shareholders, who have financed us for a number of years, as we enter into the Institutional financing Phase for our Company. A new cusip number and trading symbol will be announced once the transaction is effective. The net effect is that each shareholder of record on the effective date will tender their shares for exchange for a 10% increase in new shares.

The Company has just completed a small Private Placement, announced on April 23, 2007, the proceeds of which will enable the Company to commence the first portion of its Phase 1 drilling program on the Independence Shallow Target at its Independence Mine in Battle Mountain, Nevada. Phase 1 budget is $1,350,000 and the Target for Phase 1 is 235,000 oz. gold and 2,500,000 oz. silver, which is proposed to be mined and loaded onto a cyanide heap leach to be developed by the Company later this year.

The Company’s CFO Dan Forbush said: “Our strategy is to take our financing in small manageable amounts, which enable the completion of a complete phase in a selected area. We are now in a period that should enable larger financings so we may grow the Company much quicker. We have drilling, permitting and production to be financed, and we are now ready to tackle those tasks during this spring and summer. We built Glamis Gold from a single, small gold mining project to a large multi-project operation while I was there, and we are committed to do the same at General Metals.”
