BALTIMORE, MD -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/20/09 -- Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Boeing Company, Inc. ("Boeing" or the "Company") (NYSE: BA) during the period between May 4, 2009 and June 22, 2009, inclusive (the "Class Period").

No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than January 12, 2010 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class Period. You are not required to have sold your shares to seek damages or to serve as a Lead Plaintiff. You may contact Brower Piven (through hoffman@browerpiven.com or 410/986-0036) to answer any questions you may have in that regard.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure to disclose during the Class Period the true testing results for the Dreamliner 787 ("787") to forestall cancellations of orders for the 787, particularly as the orders for its competition, the Airbus A380, were gaining ground; to conceal from the market the material fact that the 787 had a structural problem in its design that would prevent the first flight of the 787 by June 30, 2009, and delivery in the first quarter of 2010; and to enable Boeing to make a positive presentation concerning the test results for the 787 and the schedule for the first flight and delivery of the 787 at the Paris Air Show scheduled for June 15-18, 2009, at which Boeing hoped to receive additional orders for the 787 and beat the showing made by the Airbus for its A380. According to the complaint, after Boeing announced on June 23, 2009 that the first flight of the 787 would be postponed, the value of Boeing's stock declined significantly.

If you have suffered a net loss for all transactions in Boeing Company, Inc. common stock during the Class Period you may obtain additional information about this lawsuit and your ability to become a lead plaintiff by contacting Brower Piven at www.browerpiven.com, by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com, by calling 410-986-0036, or at Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, The World Trade Center-Baltimore, 401 East Pratt Street, Suite 2525, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.

You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP (www.pomerantzlaw.com) ("Pomerantz") has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington, against Northwest Pipe Company ("Northwest Pipe" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: NWPX) and certain of its top officials. The class action (C09-5724 RBL) was filed on behalf of purchasers of the securities of the Company between April 23, 2008 and November 11, 2009, both dates inclusive, (the "Class Period"). The Complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

Northwest Pipe manufactures and markets large-diameter, high pressure steel pipeline systems for use in water infrastructure applications, primarily related to drinking water systems. Its pipeline systems are also used for hydroelectric power systems, wastewater systems and other applications. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business and financial results. Specifically, the Complaint alleges the defendants overstated the Company's revenues and earnings by failing to recognize revenues in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. As a result of the challenged statements, Northwest Pipe common stock traded at artificially inflated prices throughout the Class Period.

On November 11, 2009, the Company announced that it was delaying the filing of its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, pending the conclusion of an ongoing internal investigation of certain accounting matters. On November 12, 2009, the Company's stock dropped $4.49 per share to close at $26.74, a one-day decline of 14.37%.

If you are a shareholder who purchased the securities of Northwest Pipe during the Class Period, you have until January 19, 2010 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff for the class. Shareholders outside the United States may join the action, regardless of where they live or which exchange was used to purchase the securities. A copy of the complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Teresa L. Webb at (tlwebb@pomlaw.com) or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address and telephone number.

The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Columbus, Ohio and the Burlingame, California, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 20, 2009) - International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: WYG)(FRANKFURT: IWUB) has entered into an agreement with D&D Securities Company ("D&D" or the "Agent") to act as lead agent, together with Octagon Capital Corporation, as co-lead agent (together, the "Agents"), in connection with a private placement offering of up to 12,500,000 units at $0.80 per unit comprised of up to 2,500,000 units of the Company (the "Unit Offering") at a price of $0.80 per unit ("Unit"), each Unit consisting of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), and up to 10,000,000 subscription receipts (each, a "Subscription Receipt") at a subscription price of $0.80 per Subscription Receipt (the "Subscription Receipt Offering"). Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to acquire, for no additional consideration, one unit in the capital of the Company which will become Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. ("Barkerville") following completion of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") that will result in the acquisition of certain assets formerly held by Cross Lake Minerals Ltd., as more fully described below. Proceeds from the Subscription Receipt Offering will be subject to certain escrow release conditions, which if satisfied, will convert automatically into one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Barkerville, and if not satisfied, will result in the aggregate subscription price for the Subscription Receipts together with interest to be returned to the subscribers forthwith. The agreement provides that if the Unit Offering and Subscription Receipt Offering are fully subscribed, the Agents may exercise an over-allotment option equal to 20% of the offering (the "Greenshoe Option") to offer up to a further 400,000 Units and 2,100,000 Subscription Receipts.

Each whole Warrant issued in the Unit Offering, will be exercisable into one additional common share at a price of $1.00 per common share for a period of 18 months from Closing. Each Warrant issuable on conversion of the Subscription Receipts upon satisfaction of the escrow release conditions (the "Conversion Date") will be exercisable for a period of 18 months from the Conversion Date.

The Company will make a cash payment equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised in the Unit Offering and issue broker's warrants to purchase Units in an amount equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Units issued in the Unit Offering, exercisable for a period of 18 months from Closing at $0.80 per Unit. On the Conversion Date, a cash payment equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised in the Subscription Receipt Offering will be paid to the Agents and broker's warrants will be issued which provide for the purchase of Units in an amount equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Units issued on the Conversion Date, exercisable for a period of 18 months from the Conversion Date at $0.80 per Unit. Similar commission and broker warrants will be issued if the Greenshoe Option is exercised. A work fee of 6% of the cash commissions will be payable.

The Company has entered into a letter of intent with 0373849 B.C. Ltd. (formerly Cross Lake Minerals Ltd.) ("Cross Lake") pursuant to which the Company 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, the Company will enter into a Spin-off Transaction (the "Spin Off Transaction") to transfer all of its properties, including the QR Mine and Mill, Cariboo Gold Project (including Bonanza Ledge), and all assets, liabilities and obligations, to Barkerville, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for shares of Barkerville (the "Barkerville Shares") and will then distribute the Barkerville Shares to the shareholders of the Company on the basis of one Barkerville Share for each share of the Company. The Sale Transaction and Spin-Off Transaction (together, the "Transactions") will be structured as an Arrangement involving the Company, 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 "TSXV"). This transaction is subject to meeting the usual listing requirements of the TSXV, 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 (including Bonanza Ledge), satisfy the necessary general and administrative expenses and having unallocated working capital.

Due to this equity financing at this time the Company will not be pursuing the project financing first announced on August 19, 2009. The proceeds of the Unit Offering will be used for exploration and development on the Company's projects, to pay current liabilities, to provide funding necessary to complete the Arrangement and for working capital. The proceeds from the Subscription Receipt Offering will be used to fund exploration on the Bonanza Ledge project and the initial start up of the QR Mill and the development of the QR Mine.

The Company has been developing its 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 commenced 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.
