Breaking News Release

Bayfield Drills 19.60m of 5.45 g/t Au and 20.63 g/t Ag at East Burns Block in the Rainy River District, NW Ontario

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Oct. 11, 2012) - Bayfield Ventures Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BYV) (OTCBB:BYVVF) (FRANKFURT:B4N) (the "Company") is pleased to announce additional high grade assay results from the continuing exploration of the east side of the Burns Block. The Companys 100% owned Burns Block gold-silver project is located in the Rainy River District of north-western Ontario and is situated adjacent to the east and on strike to Rainy River Resources multi-million ounce gold-silver deposit.

Rainy River District Gold Zones:

This news release reports assays from the East Burns Block step out hole RR12-30 which intersected a strong interval of gold and silver mineralization in a position approximately 20 metres down dip from previously reported hole RR12-12 (13.5 metres of 5.13 g/t Au and 25.21 g/t Ag). Hole RR12-30 intersected a down hole interval of 19.60 metres grading 5.45 g/t Au and 20.63 g/t Ag including 11.80 metres of 8.57 g/t Au and 30.87 g/t Ag. This intercept represents the highest grade gold mineralization encountered at the East Burns area by Bayfield to date and further extends the eastern mineralized zone down plunge from previous drilling. This southwest plunging higher grade zone remains open down dip from the intercept in hole RR12-30 and the Company is actively drilling this expanding zone at depth.

East Burns Highlights:

Hole RR12-30 intersects 19.60 metres grading 5.45 g/t Au and 20.63 g/t Ag including 11.80 metres of 8.57 g/t Au and 30.87 g/t Ag. This intercept represents the highest grade gold mineralization encountered at the East Burns area by Bayfield to date. Eastern higher grade mineralized zone remains open down plunge to the southwest with more drilling planned to test the zone at depth. Exploration in the East Burns area has been very active in the late summer with drilling on both sides of the Bayfield - Rainy River Resources property line. Mineralization is being found within a 50 to 70 metre wide zone of shearing, sericite-silica alteration and polymetallic base metal sulfide mineralization.

Eastern Burns Block Exploration/Delineation Discussion:

The results from hole RR12-30 expand the down plunge extension of the East Burns mineralized zone a further 20 metres from previously reported drill hole RR12-12. The mineralized zone is associated with discontinuous quartz-carbonate-galena-chalcopyrite veinlet swarms with accompanying visible gold and silver smears and crack infillings. The logged vein textures and mineral assemblage are very similar to that seen in the high grade hole RR11-71 area located in the north-west portion of the Burns property.
