General Metals Corporation confirms that on June 14, 2007, after several discussions and meetings at the Company’s Independence Mining claims with neighbor Newmont Mining www.newmont.com, we entered into a joint confidentiality agreement regarding an exchange of data by both parties. As previously stated, our Independence Mine is an island in Newmont Mining’s claims where their Phoenix Mine is the largest operating gold mine in the US with 8.5 million ounces of gold and 660 million pounds of copper in reserves.

We have requested an opportunity to expand our deep drilling program to Newmont’s claims that lie immediately to the west of our claims, believing that our already identified deep target of around 2 million potential ounces of gold will more than double should we be able to expand the drilling footprint. Newmont and General Metals will exchange confidential data “to determine if they wish to sell or participate in an agreement for the properties within the area of interest.”

Company President and CEO Steve Parent said: “Now that we are ready to share our recently digitized historical information, along with our upcoming drilling on our Phase 1 shallow target, we have the opportunity to work with our neighbor Newmont on future development of our Deep drilling target and on other mining matters of interest. We believe that the timing is right for this important step, since we are commencing drilling operations on our Phase 1 shallow program and are planning our Phase 2 deep drilling program.”
