Bayfield Mobilizes Second Drill Rig to its Rainy River Gold Project in NW
Ontario
Vancouver, BC - Bayfield Ventures Corp. (TSX-V: BYV) (FWB: B4N) (the "Company")
is pleased to announced that Rodren Drilling has mobilized a second drill rig
and equipment for the commencement of a drill program on its 100% owned "B"
Claim Block property situated immediately northeast of Bayfield's Burns Block
and east of Rainy River Resources' (TSX.V: RR) 433 gold zone in north-western
Ontario.

Bayfield now has two rigs drilling on its Rainy River properties, one on the
Burns Block and one on the "B" Block, to carry out the Company's 20,000+ metres
of diamond drilling. The objective of this major drill program is to explore and
expand the extension of gold mineralization that is being defined by Rainy River
Resources on their ground adjacent to Bayfield's properties. The drilling will
focus on confirming gold continuity and grade at both shallow and deeper depths.
A four hole drill program (1192 metres) was completed by Bayfield on its "B"
Block property in the fall of 2008. All four holes, although shallow,
encountered wide sections of elevated to strongly anomalous gold values
including a 2 metre intercept grading 5.70 g/t gold within 5 metres of 2.64 g/t
gold, and a 1 metre intercept grading 1.95 g/t gold.

The gold mineralization encountered to date on Bayfield's "B" Block, like the
Burns Block, occurs in the same geological environment as that hosting Rainy
River Resources' five million ounce gold deposit to the immediate west.
Furthermore, recent drill results reported by Rainy River Resources to the east
of their 433 gold zone represent a possible eastward strike extension of the
zone. With sufficient drilling, Bayfield is of the opinion that it can prove up
this extension of the 433 gold zone eastward onto the "B" Block.
Drilling Update on the Burns Block
In other news, Bayfield has now completed approximately 4800 metres of drilling
on its 100% owned Burns Block property since starting its major 20,000+ metre
diamond drill program in May 2010. The Company has finished 11 holes on the
property so far, ranging in length from 270 metres to 730 metres, and will
continue exploring the strike extension of Rainy River Resources' ODM17 gold
zone at depth. Bayfield is extremely pleased with the drilling thus far and
assays are pending.

Previously, ten holes (4841 metres) had been drilled and reported by Bayfield on
the Burns Block. The drilling confirmed the widespread distribution of gold
within two litho-structural intervals directly on strike with the ODM17 gold
zone of Rainy River Resources. Shallow and deeper intercepts reported by
Bayfield along the strike extension of Rainy River Resources' ODM17 gold zone
indicate that well above gold cut-off grade mineralization continues onto the
Burns Block.
Significant results from previous drilling on the Burns Block include 4.5 metres
of 7.34 g/t gold, 43.5 metres of 0.78 g/t gold including 4.5 metres of 3.0 g/t
gold, 25 metres of 0.89 g/t gold, 61.2 metres of 0.49 g/t gold including 7.5
metres of 1.77 g/t gold within 16.5 metres of 1.20 g/t gold, and 1 metre of
9.51 g/t gold.
Rainy River Resources' March 2010 NI 43-101 shows an indicated resource of 2.37
million ounces of gold (averaged at 1.3 g/t) and inferred resources of 2.66
million ounces of gold (averaged at 1.2 g/t). Of the total 5.03 million ounces
of gold inferred and indicated, 4.09 million ounces of gold are contained within
open pit parameters and the remaining 0.94 million ounces of gold are below open
pit depths.
Bayfield Ventures is well financed with approximately $3,500,000 in its treasury
to carry out the proposed drilling on both its Burns and "B" Block properties.
The Company may also conduct future work on its strategically located 100% owned
"C" Claim Block property to the west of Rainy River Resources' developing gold
deposit.
Bayfield's properties are ideally located with easy access to roads and power.
Ontario has low political risk and the Rainy River District has skilled labour
and is one of the lowest-cost areas for mineral exploration and development in
Canada.
