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

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
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 person as
defined in National Instrument 43-101.
