General Metals provides drilling updates

General Metals Corporation, a junior minerals exploration and development company, based in Reno, Nevada, announced a 20 foot intercept of .092 ounces per ton gold equivalent (opt Au Equiv.), which was included in a 140 foot intercept in Hole GM-46 which averaged 0.029 opt Au Equiv.

The company said that drill holes GM-40 through GM-46, added critical information left incomplete from the 2007 drill program.

These results confirm the continuity of mineralization across the 500 foot strike length between Sections 1700 North and 2200 North.

Section 1800 North which included Holes GM-40, 41, 42, 44 and 45 is an infill fence that was first drilled this year.

All holes were drilled in an easterly direction at a angle of 45 degrees below horizontal. The holes identified mineralization within the target envelope northward from section 1700 North.

The results found a low grade halo surrounding higher grade mineralization. The mineralization on this section thins within 100 feet of the surface as a result of structural and stratigraphic control which causes the mineralization at this elevation to split into two narrow zones. Similar to Section 2200 North.

Steve Parent, President and CEO, said the results we are seeing this year continue to impress me. Both the high grade and halo mineralization exhibits excellent continuity along strike and the results continue to tie each section to the adjacent sections thereby confirming our reliance on that continuity to provide a high level of confidence in making the production decision upon which we began our permitting process.

This mineralization also remains open to depth, said Dan Forbush, the company’s CFO. The results though anticipated continue to surprise me. This project is becoming better and better. The anticipation of seeing the next results increases each time we receive a batch of assays and sometimes is heightened with the reports from the geologists as to what they are seeing in the rocks coming from each hole, he concluded.
