NEWS RELEASE
Rainy River Diamond Drilling to Commence
in July, NW Ontario
Vancouver, BC - Bayfield Ventures Corp. (TSX-V: BYV) (FWB:
B4N) announces that the Company is mobilizing a diamond drill into the Rainy River
area of Northwestern Ontario. Bayfield
anticipates, after a six week delay on the arrival of the drill rig, that the
summer drill program will commence around mid July 2007.
The
project consists of three blocks of ground (Block “A”,
“B”, and “C”) totaling approximately 1000 hectares.
Block “B” (100%) adjoins the Rainy River Resources gold discovery
to the immediate East, and Blocks “A” (50%) and
“C” (100%) adjoin the Rainy River Resources acreage on the west
along perceived strike of geological formation.

Bayfield’s
Rainy River
project is located just north of the Canada
– US border in northwestern Ontario
about 50 kilometres west of Fort
Francis and 80
kilometres south of Kenora. Access and infrastructure are very good with
paved road access and power within 1 kilometre of site.
The
properties are situated within the Rainy River Greenstone Belt, and underlain
by Archean-aged volcanic and sedimentary rocks. The area of Bayfield’s
primary exploration focus appears to be associated with major crosscutting
faults that offset or displace the Mafic / ultramafic rocks controlling the
mineralized deposition of gold.
Bayfield
has assembled all of the data received from this past winter/spring
exploration program. The Company believes that the coincidence of geological
structure, bedrock conductivity, and strongly anomalous gold in tills
suggest that the drill targets have a high potential to host gold
mineralization. The Company is also of the opinion that the moderate to
strong geophysical conductors associated with the mafic / ultramafic rock
sequences are similar to the #433 zone and the #17 zone on the adjoining
property held by Rainy River Resources.
An initial
10 – 12 hole Phase 1 drill program is planned for testing of the
structural and conductive settings now evident on Bayfield’s
properties.

Bayfield Ventures Corp. is actively
involved in the exploration for gold in Northwestern Ontario and copper-gold
and coal in the South Gobi region of Mongolia. Property partners
include Goldcorp and BHP Billiton.
