The Wayside (Commodore) vein occurrences are located within 300 metres to the southwest of the Wayside mine (092JNE030), along the northwesterly facing slopes of Carpenter Lake. These structurally controlled, silicified zones were first exposed by short adits. The Commodore vein is hosted in a sodic granite dyke intruding the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex (Group), near the southwest contact with the Permian Bralorne Igneous Complex. The Bridge River argillites, cherts and volcanics trend generally north with near vertical dips and are bounded on the north and south margins by stocks of augite diorite.

The fissure veins strike northwest and dip 45 to 54 degrees northeast, and consists of quartz and albite, with arsenopyrite and pyrite surrounded by carbonate-altered siliceous granite. Sampling over 1.8 metres of a 10-centimetre-wide vein assayed 72.7 grams gold per tonne and 56.9 grams silver per tonne (Lammle, 1974). Chevron's 1987 trench returned erratic gold values up to 3.45 grams gold per tonne over 0.55 metre (Assessment Report 17091).

The 3T vein is about 150 metres northwest of the Commodore vein; it has been suggested they may coalesce at depth. The 3 T vein adit was driven along the hanging wall of a sheeted albitite dyke. It follows a fissure striking northwest and dipping about 51 degrees northeast beneath a body of sodic granite. Quartz veins in the fissure carry gold values.

A drilling program was in progress on the Wayside properties at the end of 1991 with one phase of drilling about to begin on the Commodore and 3T veins (George Cross News Letter No.227, 1991).

The property is held by International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd.
