VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 5, 2009) - International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd. ("Wayside", the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: WYG.V)(FRANKFURT: IWUB.F) reports today that it has received more results from its infill diamond drill program in the Bonanza Ledge Zone on Barkerville Mountain and from one of the three diamond drill holes testing the mine grid west extension of the BC Vein on Cow Mountain (Table 1).

The proposed 17 infill diamond drill program in the Bonanza Ledge Zone will upgrade its existing NI 43-101 resource from an inferred to indicated category. To date, 16 of 17 drill holes have been completed with BC09-01 through BC09-05, BC09-07 (please see September 17, 2009 News Release) through BC09-09, and BC09-11 returning promising intercepts containing gold mineralization.

- Drill hole BC09-08 intercepted:
- 18.3 meters (60.0 feet) of 1.15 g/T gold,
- including 0.43m (1.4 feet) of 21.8 g/T gold
- 24.4 meters (80.0 feet) of 1.14 g/T gold

- Drill hole BC09-09 intercepted:
- 24.4 meters (80.0 feet) of 5.39 g/T gold,
- including 0.85 meters (2.8 feet) of 102 g/T gold

- Drill hole BC09-11 intercepted:
- 51.5 meters (170.0 feet) of 7.17 g/T gold,
- including 20.2 meters (66.4 feet) of 14.6 g/T gold


Results from the remaining holes in the infill program are forthcoming.

Drill holes CM09-01 through CM09-03 were completed beside the Lowhee Creek on Cow Mountain and confirm the mine grid west extension of the BC Vein. The results verify that strike quartz veins including BC Vein exist on Cow Mountain, though more drilling needs to be conducted to confirm the total length and depth along strike. Gold values returned from the strike vein are up to 22.7 g/T (see September 17, 2009 News Release).

Drill hole CM09-03 intercepted a fine-grained pyrite replacement body in a fault zone, which contains up to 60% fine-grained pyrite and returns up to 22.7 g/T gold (Table 1).

About International Wayside Gold Mines

International Wayside Gold Mines has been developing its 106,484 hectare Cariboo Gold Project in Barkerville, B.C., which encompasses (from northwest to south east) the former producing Hardscrabble Tungsten Mine, Mosquito Creek Gold Mine (now on care and maintenance), Aurum Mine, Island Mountain Mine, Cariboo Gold Quartz Mine, Bonanza Ledge (proposed mine), the Cariboo Thompson Gold & Silver Mine and the Cariboo Hudson Mine.

The Company has also entered into a letter of intent with 0373849 B.C. Ltd. (formerly Cross Lake Minerals Ltd.) ("Cross Lake") pursuant to which Wayside will purchase a subsidiary of Cross Lake holding all of Cross Lake's interest in the QR Mine and Mill (the "Sale Transaction"). Concurrently with the completion of the Sale Transaction, Wayside will enter into a Spin-off Transaction to transfer all of its properties, including the QR Mine and Mill, Cariboo Gold Project, and its assets, liabilities and obligations, to Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. ("Barkerville"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wayside, in exchange for shares of Barkerville (the "Barkerville Shares") and will then distribute the Barkerville Shares to the shareholders of Wayside on the basis of one Barkerville Share for each share of Wayside. The Sale Transaction and Spin-Off Transaction (together, the "Transactions") will be structured as a Plan of Arrangement involving Wayside, its security holders, Cross Lake and Barkerville pursuant to the provisions of the B.C. Business Corporations Act. The final terms of the Transactions will be modified to the extent necessary to give effect to tax and legal advice to be sought by the parties.

Barkerville will make an application to list its shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX.V"). This transaction is subject to meeting the usual listing requirements of the TSX.V, which will include having the necessary funds to meet the obligations of operating the QR Mine and Mill, conduct recommended work programs on its Cariboo Gold exploration projects, satisfy the necessary general and administrative expenses and having unallocated working capital.

Completion under the Plan of Arrangement will also be subject to obtaining the necessary shareholder, regulatory and court approvals.
