Wayside's Trench Sampling Returns 30 Feet of 26.8 g/T Gold in Trench 1 and 9 Feet of 97.4 g/T Gold in Trench 2
November 9, 2009
Vancouver, BC -- International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd. ("Wayside", the "Company") announced today that the database of results from both the 2009 infill drill program (Please see News Releases Dated September 17, October 5, October 7, October 14 and October 26 for more detailed information) and 148 channel samples from three trenches on the surface of the Bonanza Ledge gold deposit were sent to Mintec Inc., an independent consulting company contracted to upgrade the resource at the Bonanza Ledge deposit.

The Company sampled three trenches, which totalled 55 meters (180 feet) long, to provide metallurgical and ore zone data for oxidized mineralization at bedrock. The trenches ranged from 5.5 to 11.3 metres (18 to 37 feet) wide at the toe and were from 4.6 to 6.1 metres (15 to 20 feet) deep.

The trenching was highly successful in defining the top of portions of the gold deposit, and in showing that the high grades encountered in the drilling, continue to the top of bedrock. The following summarizes the results, while detailed descriptions are found in Table 1.

Trench 1 - Northeast side of the proposed Bonanza Ledge open pit mine
- 9 ft @ 11.0 g/T in channel closest to collapse
- 3 ft @ 23.8 g/T in channel 10 feet east of the first channel

Most of trench one was completed north of the main mineralization trend. In its southern extension, strongly sericite altered argillite carried good gold grades.

Trench 1-South - East and southeast of the center of the proposed open pit
- 30 ft @ 26.8 g/T in channel closest to the proposed open pit
- 15 ft @ 18.3 g/T in channel 10 feet east of the first channel
Trench 2 - Southwest of the proposed open pit
- 9 ft @ 97.4 g/T in channel closest to proposed open pit
- 15 ft @ 26.7 g/T in channel 10 feet to the west of the first channel
- 6 ft @ 19.6 g/T in channel 20 feet to the west of the first channel
- 9 ft @ 7.1 g/T also in the channel 20 feet to the west of the first channel

The second trench exposed the strongly graphitic Footwall Fault and vein near its southern end. Immediately north of this fault, the argillite is bleached white, shows extreme sericite alteration, and returned very strong gold grades, up to 146 g/T.

Trench 3- Centered approximately 45.7 meters (150 feet) east of the proposed open pit
- 6 ft @ 11.3 g/T in channel just west of the center of the trench
- Several scattered samples between 1 g/T and 5 g/T

The third trench exposes an area of transition, from weak gold mineralization to the immediate west, and strong gold bearing mineralization to the east. Near the middle of the trench, a northerly trending zone of quartz was encountered, suggesting that a northerly fault is controlling the mineralization. There was also a graphitic quartz vein in the southwest corner of the trench, which might be an offset extension of the Footwall Fault.

The contact between the overburden toe and the bedrock was surveyed with a theodolite, as was the crest, which provided elevation data for the bedrock surface and overburden thickness. The channel sample lines were 3.0 metres (10 feet) apart, with samples collected every 0.9 metres (3 feet) along the lines. Since metallurgical tests were anticipated, sample volumes averaged one half of a five gallon bucket. Concurrent with the sampling, the geology of the bedrock surface was mapped.

A total of 148 samples were collected from the trenches and sent to Eco Tech Laboratory Ltd., in Kamloops, B. C., for 28-element ICP geochemistry, plus gold by fire assay with atomic absorption finish.
