NEWS RELEASE

June 30, 2011

Bayfield Clarifies Details of Reported Drill Intercepts

Vancouver, BC - Bayfield Ventures Corp. (TSX-V: BYV) (FWB: B4N) (the "Company") is issuing this news release as a resu
--->lt of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission in order to clarify certain details of its technical disc
--->losure of drill results on its Burns Block property and of its disclosure of resource estimates at Rainy River Resourc
--->es' gold project adjacent to Bayfield's Burns Block.

The Company restates certain drill intervals (listed below) reported in news releases dated September 8, 2010, Decembe
--->r 14, 2010, February 16, 2011, and June 27, 2011. The original averaged gold and silver grades over these intervals ar
--->e all correct and the total amount of gold and silver mineralization is the same; however the drill results are potent
--->ially confusing as certain larger intervals were reported by diluting high-grade intercepts over longer intervals of l
--->ower grade gold and silver mineralization. 

The higher grade gold and silver intervals reported in the effected news releases identified above, and re-reported he
--->re, are enclosed within the much wider envelopes of anomalous level gold mineralization (and accompanying variable sil
--->ver values). We therefore revise the portions of the previously reported intervals for which questions of potential ec
--->onomic viability cannot currently be assessed by Bayfield. Such an assessment would require identifying likely mining 
--->methods and establishing many other parameters that are well beyond the scope of our exploration project at this point
---> in time.  

The following is a list of the holes that report longer drill intercepts which are being restated:

- Previously reported larger intervals in hole RR10-18 (September 8, 2010 news release) 
- Previously reported larger intervals in hole RR10-52 (December 14, 2010 news release) 
- Previously reported larger intervals in hole RR11-1 (February 16, 2011 news release) 
- Previously reported larger intervals in hole RR11-70 (June 27, 2011 news release) 
- Previously reported larger intervals in hole RR11-71 (June 27, 2011 news release)

The new very high grade intercept in RR11-71 lies within a broad halo of anomalous to multi-gram level gold and silver
---> mineralization that is contained within the well established east-west trending zone of strong foliation, sericite al
--->teration, locally intense deformation and highly variable pyrite mineralization. This pattern of high grade zones lyin
--->g within lower grade mineralized halos has been seen at the Burns Block many times during the continuing exploration a
--->nd delineation drill program there.

Bayfield also clarifies certain details of its technical disclosure of resource estimates at the adjacent Rainy River 
--->Gold Project. On Bayfield's website, investor relations material, corporate presentation, and certain news releases, t
--->he Company discloses resource estimates for an adjacent property that are contrary to NI 43-101 because the disclosure
--->:

a) adds inferred mineral resources to other categories, contrary to section 2.2(c). 

b) reports resources solely in the form of contained metal content, contrary to sections 2.2(d) and 3.4(b).

Bayfield has amended its disclosure and removed any non-compliant resource estimates for adjacent properties.

Quality Assurance:

Drill core analysis and assaying is being conducted by ACT Labs in Thunder Bay, Ont. The lab is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (CA
--->N-P-4E) certified. The drill core is split and sampled in standard 0.5 metre to 1.5 metre intervals. The core samples 
--->were analyzed for gold by 30-gm fire assay with AA finish and by gravimetric methods from assays over 5,000 ppb (over 
--->limit). Screened total metallic assays are being performed on samples assaying over 5,000 ppb. The core samples were a
--->nalyzed for silver by Ag Aqua Regia-ICP finish and Ag Fire Assay-Gravimetric from assays over 100 ppm (over limit). Th
--->e Company has implemented a quality assurance and quality control program to ensure that the sampling and analysis of 
--->all samples is conducted in accordance with the best possible practices. 

Shane Hu, P.Geo., Project Geologist for Bayfield Ventures is the Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 4
--->3-101 and supervised both the project field and the preparation of the technical information in this release.
