RENO, NV -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/25/07 -- General Metals Corporation (OTCBB: GNLM) (FRANKFURT: GMQ) on May 10, 2007 announced that it has set a record date of May 22, 2007 for its upcoming annual and special general meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on June 29, 2007 in Reno, Nevada. A 14(a) proxy statement will be sent to shareholders of record.

The Company also previously set the record date of May 22, 2007 for shareholders of record to participate in the proposed 11:10 forward stock split which is anticipated to be approved at the annual and special general meeting scheduled for June 29, 2007. The effective date of the forward split will be shortly after its anticipated approval at the annual and special general meeting. Therefore, the Board has resolved that the new record date for the 11:10 forward split will be Monday, July 2, 2007, after receiving the anticipated shareholder approval at the meeting.

This new date allows for the interested European investors, who will be contacted on the Company's trip to Germany in mid June and our presentation at the London Stock Exchange on June 22, 2007, to participate.

The Company has been fortunate to have raised an additional $375,000 or so by way of Private Placement, Warrant exercise and debt conversion. An 8-K will be filed accordingly.
