Bayfield Ventures Corp. [TSX-V: BYV] - Bayfield Extends Near Surface Gold-Silver Mineralization in Easterly Step-Out Holes at Rainy River, NW Ontario

Vancouver, BC - Bayfield Ventures Corp. (TSX-V: BYV) (FWB: B4N) (the �Company�) is pleased to announce additional gold and silver intercepts on its 100% owned Burns Block property in the Rainy River District of north-western Ontario. The Burns Block is situated adjacent to the east and on strike to Rainy River Resources� (TSX-V: RR) multi-million ounce gold deposit.

Rainy River�s latest NI 43-101 resource calculation shows a measured and indicated resource of 4.41 million ounces of gold, averaging 1.17 g/t gold, in addition to an inferred resource of 2.33 million ounces of gold, averaging 0.94 g/t gold. Rainy River considers that the material above the final depth of the conceptual pit shell (450 metres vertical depth) offers reasonable prospects for economic extraction from an open pit using a cut-off grade of 0.35 g/t gold (June 29, 2011 by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc.).

Highlights:
� Latest batch of results reported here illustrates strong gold and silver mineralization intersected in step-out holes to the east of the high grade shoot on the western portion of the Burns Block.
� Drill hole RR11-119 intercepts 22.5 metres of 2.39 g/t Au and 25.37 g/t Ag including 15.0 metres of 3.46 g/t Au and 34.34 g/t Ag in a 45 metre step-out to the southeast from hole RR11-71.
� Central Fence step-out holes RR11-63 and RR11-68 both intersected well mineralized intervals including 7.2 metres of 3.07 g/t Au and 10.5 metres of 1.72 g/t Au respectively.
� 10.0 metres of 1.48 g/t Au and 107.24 g/t Ag was intersected in North Fence infill hole RR11-52.
� Bayfield is currently backlogged with pending assays for 57 holes totaling approximately 2,900 cut samples of core from completed drilling.
