International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd.: Prospecting Assay Results Leads to New Drill Program

Marketwired
The Board of Directors of International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd.
(the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: WYG)(FRANKFURT: IWUB) announces
prospecting assay results (see Table 1) from the Butts Zone which
has defined the current stage of the 2009 exploration program,
including diamond drilling at Wilf's Showing on Cow Mountain (which
began July 8, 2009) and trenching along the B Road on and around
the Butts Zone, which is about 2.3 km to the mine grid west of the
BC Vein and proposed Bonanza Ledge mine on Barkerville Mountain.
Limited prospecting and exploration has been completed on the
Butts Zone. Significant gold values returned from reconnaissance
rock and channel sampling confirms the Butts Zone as one of the
potential areas in the Company's Cariboo Gold Project for both
quartz vein and replacement styles of gold mineralization.
Wilf's Showing in the Butts Zone is a large quartz vein outcrop
with massive and semi-massive fine-grained pyrite, beside Lowhee
Creek and Lowhee Fault on Cow Mountain. It is inferred that the
quartz vein is possibly the mine grid west extension of the BC Vein
(which is 305 m deep at the BC Shaft and has been drilled on 30.5 m
centers for 1.23 km), offset by the Lowhee Fault. The Bonanza Ledge
deposit and proposed mine was discovered in the footwall of the BC
Vein which demonstrates the potential significance of Wilf's
Showing. Both channel and chip rock samples collected from the
Showing returned encouraging assays ranging between 13.6 and 21.6
g/T gold (Sample #30745-30746 and 104252-104253, see Table 1).
The purposes of the drill and trench programs on the Butts Zone
are, to confirm whether this quartz vein is the mine grid west
portion of the BC Vein (which would give it a 2.3 km strike length)
offset by Lowhee Fault on Cow Mountain and to have a better
understanding of the gold resource of both the quartz vein and
replacement styles of mineralization on the Butts Zone. Once
verified, it may be possible to find additional Bonanza Ledge style
gold mineralization in the footwall of Wilf's Showing, beside
Lowhee Creek on Cow Mountain.

Wayside is in the process of acquiring the QR Mine and 900 tonne
per day QR Mill, which was fully operational until February 2009
(now on care and maintenance). The QR Mill is a CIP mill designed
for an output of 70,000 ounces of gold per annum for that location.
The mill is 110 km by road from Wayside's Cariboo Gold Project and
proposed Bonanza Ledge Mine.
The Company initiated operations in the Cariboo District in 1994
and since that time has focused on the exploration and development
of its gold properties. Mineral tenures in the Historic Cariboo
Goldfields encompass approximately 1,065 square km (106,484
hectares) over a 60 km long by 20 km wide belt. In the Barkerville
Gold Camp, 101 creeks have reported placer gold production.
Recorded gold production from the area totals more than 3.8 million
ounces, including an estimated 2.64 million ounces from placer
mining and 1.23 million ounces from lode mining.
The technical information in this News Release has been reviewed
and approved by Chief Geologist Jim Yin, PhD, P.Geo, a qualified
