Bayfield Ventures Begins Rainy River Drill Program Bayfield Ventures Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BYV) (FRANKFURT:B4N) (the "Company") announces that a diamond drill program the Company is now initiating on the Company's Burns property located in Rainy River district of Northwestern Ontario.
A drill rig has been mobilized to the Burns property, which abuts the eastern boundary of Rainy River Resources Richardson Township property which is host to a major gold discovery.

The drill program will be concentrated on tracing the strike and extension of Rainy River Resources ODM17 East gold zone that is known to occur on Bayfield's Burn's property.
Rainy River Resources drilled 8 holes in 2008 on Bayfield's Burns property under an option agreement. Hole NR08-283 was collared near the eastern boundary of Rainy River Resources property but deviated eastward where, approximately 30 metres inside Bayfield's "Burns" property it intersected a 4.5 metre interval grading 7.34 g/t gold. Drill hole NR08-294, targeting the relatively high-grade assay intervals in hole NR08-280, intersected a 4.5 metre interval grading 2.24 g/t gold of the down-dip extension of the zone. Holes NR08-296 and NR08-304 targeted the east extension of the 17 east zone intersected in hole NR08-283. NR08-296 cut a broad 25 metre interval grading 0.89 g/t gold. Hole NR08-304 intersected 43.5 metres grading 0.78 g/t gold. The option agreement was subsequently terminated when Rainy River Resources failed to spend the required exploration expenditures by November 2008.
This initial 2010 winter drill program will consist of a minimum 1000 metres of drilling in 3 holes.
The mineralization encountered to date on Bayfield's Burn's and "B" claim properties occurs in the same geological environment as what hosts the gold values on the main ODM17 zone of Rainy river Resources to the immediate west. It is very likely that some of the lithological units are correlative across the area. All of this information bodes well for defining deposit scale mineralization on the Burns property held by Bayfield Ventures. The Company is of the opinion that the highly altered dacitic tuff breccia zone seen in the Rainy River Resources core continues in an easterly trend onto the Burns property held 100% by Bayfield Ventures.
