ArthroCare Corp. (NASDAQ: ARTC)(March 3, 2008), a leader in developing state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical products, announced yesterday that the Board of Directors has begun an evaluation of the Company's financial and strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. The Board's decision to evaluate these alternatives is based on its belief that the Company's current stock price does not reflect the fundamental value of the Company's business. The Board intends to consider the full range of available options, including a recapitalization, a stock repurchase, a sale or disposition of one or more corporate assets and/or a strategic business combination. The Board of Directors has retained Goldman Sachs & Co. to assist it in the evaluation of these alternatives. The Company stated that there can be no assurance that the evaluation process will result in any specific transactions or outcomes.

Michael Baker, CEO of ArthroCare, noted, "We remain confident in the strength and growth opportunities of our business, as reflected in our reported 2007 results and the guidance previously provided for 2008 in our recent earnings call, as well as the opportunities for near and long-term value creation for our shareholders through execution of our business plan. Any decisions the Board makes will be based upon what it believes will be best for enhancing shareholder value."

About ArthroCare Corp.

Founded in 1993, ArthroCare Corp. (www.arthrocare.com) is a highly innovative, multi-business medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets minimally invasive surgical products. With these products, ArthroCare targets a multi-billion dollar market opportunity across several medical specialties, significantly improving existing surgical procedures and enabling new, minimally invasive procedures. Many of ArthroCare's products are based on its patented Coblation technology, which uses low-temperature radiofrequency energy to gently and precisely dissolve rather than burn soft tissue - minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Used in more than four million surgeries worldwide, Coblation-based devices have been developed and marketed for sports medicine; spine/neurologic; ear, nose and throat (ENT); cosmetic; urologic and gynecologic procedures. ArthroCare also has added a number of novel technologies to its portfolio, including Opus Medical sports medicine, Parallax spine and Applied Therapeutics ENT products, to complement Coblation within key indications.

General Metals Corporation (the "Company") (OTCBB: GNMT) (March 3, 2008)) announced earlier today that The Company signed the Purchase Agreement with 635329 BC Ltd to acquire 100% of the Bannockburn Gold Property (the property) located in Madoc Township, Hastings County, south eastern Ontario, Canada.

The terms of the acquisition require General Metals to pay $140,000 CDN in cash and 700,000 shares with 700,000 warrants @$0.25. Closing is scheduled for May 15, 2008 with payments commencing on signing. The complete agreement will be filed in an 8-K within the next few days. The property consists of a 21-year mining lease of just over 100 acres, the Lloyd Patent (Fee Simple Ownership) and a current Financial Assurance in the form of an interest bearing cash reclamation bond valued at $39,722.80.

The Company based the purchase price on the 140,000 ounces of gold historically reported as indicated and inferred resources comprised of 372,154 tons with a cut grade of .395 oz/ton gold in the Discovery Vein Zone (King, B. R. Nov 15, 1986) This was generated from 30,818 feet of diamond drill holes @ 50 foot spacing from surface to a depth of 75 feet.

Further development through a decline to the 75 foot level, drifting on quartz veins and underground drilling confirmed the continuity of the Discovery Vein. The resource estimate calculated from this work delineated "Modified Geological Reserves" totaling 248,160 tons grading .267 oz/ton gold (uncut) over 6 feet (Saunders, C. R. and Morrison, T. A. Oct 6, 1988).

A "Deep Drilling" project in 1988 has traced the Discovery Vein to depths exceeding 450 feet and has shown that the gold grade within the High Grade Zone continues down rake to depth.

The Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines(MDNM) through their Regional Geologist's office in Tweed, Ontario has indicated to the Company that they are in possession of the 50,000 feet or so of drill core together with drill logs, assessment reports and other geological information on the Bannockburn Property, which will be made available for review.

An initial "bulk sample" taken in 1997 was shipped to the Horne Smelter at Noranda, Quebec. A total of 110 were shipped and the average assay returned was .34 oz/ton gold, 1.69 oz/ton silver and 71.7% silica (Shorn, T. F., June 8, 1998).

Schorn, in his 1998 report, cites Sawyer, J.B. P. P. Eng in his Dec 15, 1995 report as follows: "The Bannockburn Property represents a legitimate target for further exploration and development and has been advanced to the stage at which much of the high risk associated with any mining development has already been taken." He continues: "The existence of a significant reserve representing some 140,000 ounces of gold and the potential to increase that reserve by a factor of at least 2, means that the probability of being able to establish a viable small to medium sized mining operation is well within acceptable limits." The above results contained in the 1986, 1988, 1995 and 1998 reports are historical in nature and not current National Instrument 43-101 or SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant and therefore cannot be relied upon. Investors are cautioned that recent independent verification of the data has not been performed and General Metals has not completed any exploration to verify the historical resource and reserve estimates.

General Metals considers the Bannockburn property may have the potential to become a mining and milling operation based on the historical estimates contained in the aforementioned reports. An aggressive evaluation and development program will immediately get underway to establish the viability of near term production.

Company President and CEO, Steve Parent said: "Although our Independence Mine is and will remain our focal point and core development, when an opportunity like this with near term production potential written all over it presents itself, we will always take action. Once considered too small for a mining company to be interested, at $950 gold and nearly $20 silver, we are talkingabout a potential of nearly $135 Million for Bannockburn if just the first part is true. If it can be doubled, so much the better and with mineralization open @ the 450 foot level, this could turn out to be something substantial after all." Company CFO, Dan Forbush, CPA, says: "Personally, I'm excited by the potential this acquisition provides our shareholders. I've experienced building a company 10 fold from a 25,000 annual ounce production profile. With the Wilson Independence property and now with Bannockburn, the Company has two excellent properties to potentially build that platform and possibly more. A few years ago a mid tier mining company prepared a study that indicated that on average any newly opened mine will produce 6 times the reserves known at the beginning of the mining process. Since my experience concurs with that study we will be expending the effort necessary to get these properties producing as soon as practicable presuming that our continuing evaluation activities indicate that to do so is economically viable and promising." A detailed description of the exploration and production history of the Independence property is available on the Company's web site at www.gnmtlive.com
