Burns Block NI 43-101 Compliant Technical Report January 2014

1 . 0 S U M M A R Y
Bayfield Ventures Inc. ("Bayfield") asked Riverbend Geological Services Inc.
("Riverbend") to model the deposit, and estimate the Mineral Resource on the Burns
Block, as outlined by their extensive recent diamond drill programs.
Drilling on the Burns Block property has confirmed the presence of gold and silver.
Both shallow and deeper (below potential open pit parameters) intercepts reported by
Bayfield Ventures along the strike extension of New Gold's Rainy River deposit
clearly shows that high grade gold and silver mineralization cross the claim boundary
onto the Burns Block. New Gold is at the feasibility study stage in developing its
Rainy River deposit.

Mineralization on the Burns Block is contained within a package of south dipping,
strongly foliated, sheared and locally folded dacitic volcanic rock. Pervasive sericite-
silica alteration is characteristic of the zone. The foliation is near coincident with the
strike and dip of the lithologies. Gold and silver grade appears to be strongly
influenced by proximity to the margins of strong sericitic alteration within the shear
system. The zones strike at 120 degrees and dip at around 60 degrees to the
southwest on the Burns Block property.

The higher grade mineralization is always accompanied by sulfide mineralization,
predominantly dark brown sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena and arsenopyrite.
Gold and silver mineralization are invariably found together.

Riverbend used the diamond drill hole database for the Burns Block to estimate that
the Burns Block contains an indicated resource of 1.3 million tonnes grading
1.4 g/t Au, and 16.0 g/t Ag. An additional 3.0 million tonnes of inferred resources
grading 1.6 g/t Au and 16.3 g/t Ag have also been identified. Resources have been
classified as amenable to open pit mining if they lie within 500m of the surface, while
those at greater depths will require an underground mining method.
The Ag content adds significant value to the Burns Block. In order to include this
value, RIverbend has added the Ag value to the Au value using the formula:

AuEQ = Au grade + (Ag grade / 60)

The lower cutoff grades for the deposit have been determined from the AuEQ (Au
equivalent) grade.

Riverbend recommends that an additional diamond drill program be conducted on
the property to further evaluate the potential mineralization in the central part of the
Burns Block. This would best be accomplished by drilling 6 diamond drill holes
targeting the area about 450m below surface, on a 50m horizontal spacing. This
would require 2,970m of drilling and is expected to cost $445,500.
A second series of 4 holes has also been proposed near section 427000E to test
possibility that the high grade Intrepid zone extends toward the surface, to the west.
This part of the program would require 2,070m of drilling and is expected to cost
$310,500.
Riverbend has also proposed 4 additional holes at depth in the western part of the
claim. These holes would help fill in large holes in the model that have not been
assigned a grade, due to a lack of data. This part of the program would require
2,220m of drilling and is expected to cost $333,000

5.1 ACCESS
The town of Fort Frances is located on highway 11, about 290 km west of Thunder
Bay, Ontario, and 295 km south east of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Highway 71 leads
north from Fort Frances to Kenora on the Trans-Canada highway. The property is
accessed off of highway 71 on Teeple Road, a municipal gravel road. The site has
year round access.
5.2 LOCAL RESOURCES
The town of Fort Frances has a population of 7,952 (2011 census). Three smaller
towns, Emo (pop. 1,252 - 2011 census), Rainy River (pop. 842 - 2011 census)and
Nestor Falls (pop. 290 - 2006 census) are also within 50km of the site. There is a
rich mining heritage in the area going back to the 1895, when a gold mine opened on
Regina Bay near Nestor Falls. Iron mining in Atikokan stopped in 1980, leaving
behind much of the infrastructure necessary to support a mining operation, including
power lines, railways. Osisko is currently developing it's Hammond Reef deposit
near Atikokan.
Hydro-electricity is produced at several sites thru out north-western Ontario, and the
provincial electrical power grid runs near the property. A thermal-electric power plant
east of Fort Frances is also available to supply the area. Forestry is the major
industry in the area, and local service for heavy equipment is readily available.
5.3 CL I MAT E
Climate data for Fort Frances, as recorded by Environment Canada, has been used
for this report. Temperatures are highest in July, averaging 19.6C, and lowest in
January, averaging -16.2C. Total annual precipitation averages 580 mm, with 150
mm falling as snow between October and May.
5.4 PHYSI OGRAPHY
The Burns Block is located on the margin of the Canadian Shield, at an elevation of
about 381 m above sea level ("ASL"). The terrain is gently hilly, and the claim largely
covers one of the local bedrock outcrops, between a large swamp to the west, and

Gold mining in the area dates back to 1894, when the Regina Mining Company set
out to explore the Nestor Falls area. Other exploration in the area by individual
prospectors dates back to the 1930's, but the documented exploration in the Ministry
of Natural Resources assessment files only dates back to1967. Exploration programs
are known to have taken place on private land, however a record of assessment was
not filed.
In 1967 copper was reported in a water well hole drilled on the western shore of Off
Lake. Noranda Exploration Company staked claims around the discovery and
conducted some mapping, geophysics, and diamond drilling. The claims were
subsequently allowed to lapse.

In 1971 International Nickel Company of Canada Limited conducted regional airborne
and follow-up ground geophysics. There is no record of this work, but INCO filed a
report on two diamond drill holes in Richardson Township in 1973. One of these
holes encountered anomalous gold values, but the exact location of this hole is not
known.

In 1972 Hudson's Bay Exploration and Development carried out airborne geophysical
surveys, followed by claim staking and ground geophysics programs. In 1973, 54
diamond drill holes were bored to test 42 E.M. conductors. Base metals were likely
the target of this exploration but none of the work was filed for assessment purposes.

Considerable interest was generated in the area west of Finland following the release
of the O.G.S. publication "Gold Grains in Rotosonic Drill Core and Surface Samples
(1987-1988), Map No. P.3140. The following year, 1989, Mingold Resources Inc.
staked 85 claims and optioned property from 12 landowners in three separate blocks
in Richardson, Tait, Pattullo, and Sifton townships. From 1989 to 1990 Mingold
carried out a geological mapping, ground geophysics, and sampling program of the
glacial drift.

In 1992 Nuinsco optioned patented lands centred on Richardson Township and the
Menary Township gold occurrences of Kings Bay Gold Corporation from Western
Troy Resources. This ultimately led to the discovery of the "17 Zone" in 1994. In
2005, Rainy River acquired a 100% interest in the project from Nuinsco.

The first drilling on the Burns Block was by Rainy River Resources (RR) in 2008
when they drilled 10 holes that were either collared on the Burns or drilled through
portions of the property. Hole NR08283 was one of the holes collared 100 meters S
of the SW corner of the Burns Block and drilled north onto the Burns Block. This hole
intersected strong gold mineralization from 501.5 to 507.5 meters down hole, on the
Burns. The 6 meter interval returned 5.76 g/t Au and 6.0 g/t Ag. This hole is
considered the discovery hole on the Burns Block.

The drilling by RR was done under an option agreement between Bayfield Ventures
and RR. Bayfield had come to agreement for the purchase of the mineral rights for
the Burns Block in 2007 directly from the Burns brothers and then optioned the
ground to RR. RR failed to complete the required expenditures under the agreement
and the property was "returned" to Bayfield.

In December 2010, Geotech Ltd. carried out a helicopter-borne geophysical survey
over the Burns Block and surrounding areas.

Following a brief reconnaissance drill program in Jan and March 2010, Bayfield
began an aggressive drilling program in May 2010. The property was extensively
drilled till November 2013.

7.1 REGI ONAL GEOL OGY
The Burns Block lies near the southern margin of the Wabigoon Sub province, of the
Superior province. The Wabigoon sub province is composed of meta-volcanic and
meta-sedimentary rocks ranging from 3 to 2.71 billion years old. These units have
been intruded by 3 to 2.69 billion year old granitic batholiths, gabbroic sills and
stocks. Greenstone belts of the Wabigoon province are mostly low metamorphic
grade. Geochemical and geochronological evidence suggests that the large,
elliptical, internal batholiths are penecontemporaneous and consanguineous with the
surrounding greenstones. Post-tectonic stocks cut the granitic areas and greenstone
belts.
The Wabigoon sub province is divided into 3 parts. The Western Wabigoon area,
host to the Burns Block, is a series of interconnected greenstone belts surrounding
lobate granitoid batholiths. The greenstone belts are made up of 60-80% meta-
volcanic rocks. Volcanic sequences comprise of ultramafic and mafic, to felsic rocks
and can be grouped into 2 categories: 1) basal, laterally extensive, mafic
metavolcanic rocks; subordinate mafic metavolcanic units occupy stratigraphically
higher positions; and 2) less thick, laterally limited, diverse assemblages of
intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks that commonly overlie mafic metavolcanic
assemblages. Absolute age data and mapping have demonstrated the presence of
thrust-based duplication of strata.

Sedimentary units are typically clastic rocks of alluvial fan-fluvial, re-deposited
(turbidite) and rare platformal facies, with minor chemical metasedimentary rocks,
predominantly oxide facies iron formation.

Felsic to intermediate volcanism occurred between 2745 to 2711 Ma, coeval with the
early, marginal phases of the internal batholiths. The metavolcanic units are overlain
by synorogenic resedimented metasedimentary units or less commonly by alluvial
fan-fluvial metasedimentary rocks. Deformation and syntectonic to post tectonic
plutonism occurred in the interval 2711 to 2685 Ma.

.The facing direction of the rock
metavolcanic and metasedimentary rock package has not been definitely determined
but no robust evidence of overturning has been documented.
This lithologically complex sequence is bounded to the north by an upper amphibolite
grade meta-igneous terrain and to the south by granulite facies igneous and
metasedimentary gneisses.
This belt of greenschist grade supracrustal rock is widely foliated, microfolded and
sheared. The WNW-ENE trending, south dipping sequence of subracrustal rocks in
known core of the Rainy River gold district is bent sharply to the NNE in a position
approximately 200 meters east of the eastern boundary of the Burns Block. The
NNE trend of the belt then passes into the Off Lake area to east of Highway 71. To
the west, the WNW trend is truncated along the Pinewood fault in position near
Deerlock.
Distinctive, cross cutting, felsic intrusions into the greenstone belt are known from
both OGS field mapping and from drill intercepts. Two, N-S elongate, granodorite
intrusions occur east of the Burns Block, the Black Hawk and Finland stocks (Figure
7.1). These stocks are likely the cause of Kspar-Magnetite alteration in 0.5 to 1
kilometer haloes in the surrounding greenstones.
At present, the cumulative exploration by Nunisco, Rainy River Resources and
Bayfield Ventures has resulted in the identification of numerous well gold-silver
mineralized positions along approximately 4.5 kilometers of the quite linear WNW-
ESE trending portion of the greenschist facies, supracrustal rock package.

The geology of the Burns Block has been determined largely from diamond drill
holes, regional field mapping and airborne geophysics. In particular, the data from
the detailed logging of core from drilling concentrated in the western and eastern
portions of the property is the exclusive source of the information on property rock
type, structure, alteration and veining contained in the following sections of this
report.

7. 3. 1 PROPERTY ROCK UNI TS

The Burns Block is dominantly covered by an felsic to intermediate hypabassal
intrusive and related fragmental volcanics. In the NE portion of the property, a series
of well hornfelsed to skarnified mafic volcaniclastic sedimentary units are interlayered
with the dominant dacite series of rocks. Glacial till conceals the bedrock in the
western portion of the property and in several east-west trending topographic lows
which transect the property.

From south to north, moving down dip through the main lithologic layering and
foliation of the property, the following sequence of rock units occur (Figure 7-2):

1. Upper Dacite Unit. This unit is composed of rounded quartz eye and plagioclase
phyric felsic to intermediate hypabyssal intrusions and related fragmental flows, tuffs
or flow breccias.
2. A complex, interlayered sequence of rare rounded clast, polymictic
conglomerate units, thick, well layered mafic volcaniclastic rocks, thin, 1 to 4 meters,
horizons of finely bedded and strongly sheared graphitic argillites and interbedded
massive pyrite-pryhotite-chert breccias. Near the base of this sequence, multi-meter
thick dacite porphyry units are interlayered with the mafic volcaniclastic units. All
lithological contacts in this lower transition zone are sheared, more strongly foliated
than surrounding rocks, and exhibit slight angular unconformity. The thick mafic
metasedimentary units are highly persistent along strike, but the minor conglomeratic
and graphitic argillite horizons are discontinuous and difficult to reliably correlate
along strike.
3. Lower Dacite Unit. This unit is composed of rounded quartz eye and plagioclase
porphyries of felsic to intermediate composition. These porphyritic units are likely
hypabyssal intrusions and are interlayered with felsic to intermediate fragmental
flows, tuffs or flow breccias. The upper portion of this section contains distinctive,
well layered, siliceous sedimentary units up to 5 meters thick. Lower in the unit,
mafic dikes occur, dominantly lying parallel to the main foliation. Fragmental units
occur within the massive quartz eye dacite unit but are rare and highly discontinuous
along strike. Foliation intensity increases with depth and becomes medium to strong
and persistent approximately 150 meters below the contact with the overlying mafic
dominated rock package. The strongly foliated portion of this unit is widely
mineralized at Burns and is informally called the main zone

STRUCTURAL FACI NG DI RECTI ON

Drill core from well bedded lithologies throughout the rock section at Burns have
been examined for the presence of graded beds for the purpose of determining
facing direction, or tops. The siliceous sediments within upper portion of the Lower
Dacite unit, in particular, contain some very well developed rhythmic bedding with
very nice individual cm-scale layers. These layers show evidence of both normal
and reverse grading based solely on mineral grain size.

However, all the reverse graded beds are composed of lower gritty sediments that
reverse grade upward into coarser grained pink garnet grains. These garnets appear
to be porphyroblastic crystal growths, not original sedimentary grains. These reverse
graded beds thus appear to be the result of grain size reversal by alteration, not
overturned graded beds.

While the facing direction at Burns has been conclusively answered, the presence of
normal graded beds that do not appear to be the result of alteration or
metamorphism, along with the absence of reliable reverse graded beds, strongly
suggests that the south dip of layered and foliated units at Burns represent steeply
dipping, non-overturned stratigraphy with tops to the south.

FAULTI NG, FRACTURI NG, FOLI ATI ON AND SHEARI NG

Brittle, gouged faults at Burns are exclusively confined to the Lower Dacite unit. Cm-
scale, foliation parallel, gouge filled seams occur within the highly foliated portion of
the dacite and are seen in drill core consistently in this position from the west edge of
the property to the east edge. These gouged slip seams occur over very limited
intervals (<2 meters) and in close proximity to mineralization. These appear to be
late, small scale slips confined to limited portions of the highly foliated and sericite
altered Lower Dacite unit.

Well-developed fracture zones are rare at the Burns Block based on core logging
data and RQD data. Several holes near the southwest corner of the property,
including RR10-3 and RR11-1 do contain long intervals (>20 meters) of strongly
fractured rock. More limited fractures zones located below the main mineralized
zone occur in holes RR10-9 and RR10-10, both along the south boundary of the
property. RQD data from core holes in the eastern portion of the Burns property
show very consistent and remarkably non fractured rock, particularly in the lower
dacite unit including the mineralized zone.

Foliation development at Burns is seen in all rock types except for the mafic dike
rocks of the lower dacite unit and in rare granitic dikes intersected throughout the
established rock section. Foliation development is highly variable and is best
developed within the sericite altered lower dacite section and along the margins of
bull quartz veins and veining zones throughout the section.

Contacts between mafic volcaniclastic rocks and quartz eye dacite units in the lower
portion of the complex middle section are moderately to strongly foliated as are all
graphitic argillite sections seen in core on the property. Foliation is weak in less
altered portions of the quartz dacites and is locally hard to recognize in strongly
garnet-chlorite-biotite altered sections of the mafic metasedimentary units where
wavy alteration contacts appear to overprint foliation development.

Shearing of the entire greenstone rock package at Burns, excluding both mafic and
felsic dike sets, is evident from textural features in drill core. Features include
increased foliation and angular unconformities at lithologic contacts, ribboned
textures and discontinuity in fine bedding of graphitic argillite units and the local
presence of cm-scale sigmoidal and J-hook fold features within the strongly foliated
and sericite altered portions of the lower dacite unit.

FOLDI NG AND BRECCI ATI ON

Core logging results from the Burns property document evidence of mm, cm and dm-
scale folding in all rocks except the mafic and felsic dike sets. Folds of several
different forms are seen. Mm-scale crenulation folding of the primary foliation is
commonly seen in highly deformed wall rocks at the contact with bull quartz veins
and veining zones.

Bayfield Ventures Corp. 28
Burns Block NI 43-101 Compliant Technical Report January 2014

Sheared ribbon fabrics contain abundant, tight, cm-scale folds developed in fine
laminated primary bedding. Complete dm-scale folds are rare. One example is
logged at 76.5 meters down hole in RR11-97 where a complete fold measuring 14
cm across is developed within foliated and crenulated dacite at a contact with a bull
quartz vein.

Both barren and mineralized, cm-scale quartz-carbonate-sulfide, veinlets are nearly
ubiquitously folded where intersected in drilling right across the Burns property.
These folds are highly asymmetric with long limbs trailing away from tight, bulbose
fold noses. Field orientations done on core by assuming a south dip of the main
foliation have consistently shown steep (55
o
to 65
o
) southwest oriented plunges for
the hinge lines of these folds.

Evidence of larger scale folding at Burns has been identified in the logging of foliation
fans occurring over 10 to 18 meters of core length. In RR13-11W4, the down hole
interval from 454.10 to 472.0 shows three complete swings of foliation angle from 15
o

to 60
o
to the core axis. These foliation fans could be result of the presence of multi-
meter-scale open folds or warps of the primary foliation.

Evidence for larger scale folds, in the 10 to >100 meter range, limb to limb, has not
been documented at Burns. No symmetrical repeats of lithology have been logged
and no large scale foliation fans with foliation reversal have been noted. In summary
it appears that folding at Burns consists of dominantly mm to cm scale asymmetric
folding that is likely related to deformation during foliation development.

Breccia textures in core are commonly logged at Burns. Short intervals, <0.5 meters,
of angular clast breccia are locally seen in quartz eye dacite units. These minor
zones usually have a calcite matrix. Wider zones of angular clast brecciation are
commonly seen within massive py-po-chert iron formation units in the central portion
of the Burns stratigraphy.

Rounded to sub rounded clast breccias are locally seen with high grade mineralized
zones of the lower dacite unit. In the bonanza grade interval of hole RR11-71,
oblong quartz eye dacite breccia clasts are surrounded by poly metallic sulfides,
carbonate minerals and locally abundant visible gold and electrum.

7. 3. 2 ALTERATI ON OF ROCK UNI TS
Bayfield has not under taken any focused, detailed studies of alteration of rock units
at the Burns property. Thus, determination of both precise mineralogy, and attempts
to separate the genesis of mineral assemblages, has not been attempted.
Determination of the separate effects of several known heat sources is largely
conjectural. During routine logging of drill core it is difficult to discern the
mineralogical changes effected by:
1. Early processes related to the largely igneous formation of the rock package;
2. Effects of later regional metamorphism;
3. Contact effects from intrusion of the Blackhawk stock and,
4. Alteration caused by hydrothermal fluids during mineralization.

Regardless of the exact heat source, robust alteration zones have been identified
during core logging at Burns and a strong case can be made for the presence of

alteration zoning from west to east across the property. Pyrite is an abundant
component of many of the alteration mineral assemblages documented at Burns.
The following well established alteration zones and trends have been documented
from detailed logging of core:

1. Sericite-Pyrite (
+
fuchsite) alteration of the strongly foliated main zone in the
lower dacite unit extends right across the Burns property but is stronger in the west
than in the east. Fuchsite occurs locally in strongly sericite altered fragmental
dacites as complete replacement of isolated clasts in the fragmental volcanic rock.
2. Silica-Pyrite alteration within the main foliation in the lower dacite is weak in the
west and becomes strong in the east. The strong sericite zone in the west becomes
a silica-sericite zone in the east.
3. Kspar-Epidote-Calcite-Magnetite alteration of the lower dacite unit is seen right
across the Burns property in a position above the main sericite to silica sericite
altered foliation zone. This alteration assemblage is weak and sporadic in the west
and is strong and persistent over 40 to 60 meters down hole in the east.
4. Chlorite-Sericite-Calcite-Pyrite alteration of both the upper dacite unit and
portions of the lower dacite unit has been documented across the property. This
alteration is composed of abundant chlorite-calcite-pyrite veinlets and foliation seams
cutting weakly sericite altered dacite. This alteration is best developed within the
lower dacite unit in a position between the Kspar-Epidote-Calcite-Magnetite zone and
the main sericite, or sericite silica zone.
5. Garnet-biotite-chlorite-silica-pyrite-pyrrhotite alteration of mafic volcaniclastic
sedimentary units is seen right across the Burns property and increases in intensity
and thickness from west to east. This skarnoid alteration varies from very garnet rich
alteration with wavy reaction front contacts that cross cut bedding and foliation, to a
finer grained, extremely hard, glassy hornfelse.

The documented alteration mineral assemblages at Burns together point to a trend of
increasing temperature from west to east across the block. The timing of the
development of these mineral assemblages has not been determined, either in a
relative or an absolute since. The overall pattern, however, does suggest that the
Blackhawk stock is a likely candidate as the heat source, and possibly in part the
fluid source for the observed alteration mineral assemblages at the Burns Block
property.

In particular, the Kspar-Epidote-Calcite-Magnetite assemblage that is best developed
in the eastern portion of the Burns property is very similar mineralogically to the
western margin of the stock where higher magnetite and much more abundant Kspar
occurrences when compared to examples from more central positions within the
stock. This thesis is supported by OGS and GSC data which indicate the stock
intruded post district scale metamorphism and deformation of the greenstone wall
rocks. This timing indicates that any changes to mineral assemblages in the wall
rocks surrounding the stock would over-print those from earlier regional to district
scale metamorphism as well as any primary alteration features resulting from
igneous or hydrothermal processes during formation of the rock sequence.

7. 3. 3 VEI NS AND VEI NLETS
Economically important quartz-carbonate-sulfide-gold-silver veinlets swarms are one
of the vein related features documented through core logging at the Burns property.
The following vein and veinlet types have been identified:

1. Early bull quartz-chlorite-pyrite veins and veinlets. These veins (and
subordinate veinlets) are concentrated in the Lower portion of the lithologically
complex mafic metasedimentary section and in the upper portion of the lower dacite
unit but are seen locally in all rock types on the property. These veins are generally
massive bull quartz but locally have ribbon textures due to wispy stringers of included
green chlorite. These veins are nearly universally barren of precious metal content
even in rare instances where several percent of sphalerite and chalcopyrite have
been noted. Highly foliated and crenulated wall rocks are a common feature of these
veins and veinlets. Bull quartz veinlets are highly deformed and discontinuous. Both
of these facts suggest the timing of the bull quartz veining event was early and very
likely pre foliation development.
2. Chlorite-carbonate-pyrite veinlets and foliation seams. These cm-scale veinlets
and foliation seams are concentrated in the lower dacite unit above the main sericite
altered foliation zone. These are better developed in the western portion of the
property where they occur above and below the sericite foliation zone. The chlorite
in the veinlets and seams is a medium to bright green color and is finely mixed with
fine grained carbonate, silica and pyrite.
3. Epidote-Kspar-Calcite-Pyrite veinlets and fracture fills. These veinlets and local
fracture fills occur in the Kspar-Epidote-Calcite-Magnetite alteration assemblage
which is located in the upper portion of the lower dacite unit.
4. Magnetite veins and veinlets. Very fine grained magnetite veins and veinlets
occur locally within skarnified portions of the mafic volcaniclastic sedimentary
sequence. These are clear cross cutting veins and veins, not bedded features. They
are seen rarely in the western Burns property but have been logged in the vast
majority of holes in the eastern Burns area. Even in the east though, they are a
minor component of the mafic section and never exceed 10 cm in width.
5. Sphalerite stringer veinlets. Sphalerite stringer veinlets are commonly seen in
the sericite altered main foliation zone within the lower dacite unit at Burns. These
stringers are highly deformed and discontinuous and are of mm to cm scale.
6. Quartz-carbonate-sphalerite-pyrite-galena-chalcopyrite-arsenopyrite-gold-
electrum-silver veinlets. These strongly mineralized veinlets are highly deformed and
discontinuous and are of mm to dm scale. These veinlets are highly concentrated
within the strongly sericite and sericite-silica altered, lower dacite unit and are
associated with the majority of assay >10 g/t gold on the property. Local, narrow
occurrences of these veinlets have been logged in sheared contact zones between
mafic volcaniclastic units and quartz eye dacite sections well above the main
mineralized zone. These base metal precious bearing veinlets have a locally well-
developed gauge mineral assemblage of pink rhodonite and purple fluorite. The
presence of these gauge minerals has been shown to be an indicator or lower gold
and silver values and it appears that a zonation of precious metal rich veining is
flanked above and below by weaker gold and silver values within veining containing
the rhodonite and fluorite. Carbonate minerals identified within the mineralized
veinlets include calcite, ankerite and rhodonite. The quartz in these veinlets is

always very fine grained and is commonly smoky grey in color. The sulfide and
gauge minerals in the veinlets occur both as intergrown clotty aggregates and locally
with nicely banded textures. Silver mineralogy in the poly metallic qtz-carb veinlets
has not been identified in detail. Native silver as dendritic growths on foliation and
electrum occur but very high silver numbers have been returned from assays of
mineralized veinlet swarms in dacite without visible native silver and only minor
electrum. Other silver bearing minerals are suspected in the very high grade silver
zones at Burns.
7. Gold-chalcopyrite-galena fracture fills. Hairline to mm-scale fractures filled with
native gold-electrum-chalcopyrite-galena are seen within intervals with deformed
quartz-carbonate-poly metallic sulfide swarms both in west and east Burns. These
fractures are mostly commonly found contained within quartz rich portions of the
mineralized veinlets. The fractures are linear to gently curvilinear and vary in length
from a few centimeters to 20 to 30 centimeters (the observed length appears to be
largely a function of fracture orientation relative core axis). These gold rich fracture
fills can are found both as isolated occurrences within well mineralized zones and as
groups within very high grade sections. The fractures appear late and are
undeformed. The most common orientation is essentially parallel to core axis for drill
holes with north azimuths, thus the fractures appear to have a north-south
orientation. There is wide variability in the proportions of gold, chalcopyrite and
galena in fracture fills, some fractures are nearly completely gold filled, others nearby
may be mostly filled with either the two sulfides. The fractures are usually seen to
end by tapering down to fine point and commonly extend into the dacite wall rocks
away from the main quartz veinlet hosts.

7.4 MI NERAL I Z AT I ON
Drilling on the Burns Block property has confirmed the widespread distribution of gold
and silver within two litho-structural intervals. Both shallow and deeper (below
potential open pit parameters) intercepts reported by Bayfield Ventures along the
strike extension of New Gold's ODM17 deposit clearly shows that high grade gold
and silver mineralization continues onto the Burns Block.

The mineralized zones in the Burns Block are contained within a package of south
dipping, strongly foliated, sheared and locally folded dacitic volcanic rock. Pervasive
sericite-silica alteration is characteristic of the zone. The zones of mineralization
occur in felsic metavolcanics within zones of stronger penetrative foliation. The
foliation is near coincident with the strike and dip of the lithologies. Gold and silver
grade appears to be strongly influenced by proximity to the margins of strong sericitic
alteration within the shear system. The zones strike at 120 degrees and dip at around
60 degrees to the southwest on the Burns Block property.

The higher grade mineralization is always accompanied by sulfide mineralization,
predominantly dark brown sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena and arsenopyrite.
Gold and silver mineralization are invariably found together. Ratios of 5 g/t silver to 1
g/t gold are common, while higher grade zones have silver to gold ratios of at least
10 to 1, with ratios of >20 to 1 common. A mineralogical study commissioned by
Rainy River Resources as part of the 2009 technical report on their adjacent property

found that gold and electrum can occur either as inclusions in pyrite, or disseminated
in sphalerite, ankerite or fine grained silicates.

The presence of wide (>30m) low grade mineralized zones on the Burns Block
provides an important indicator for future discoveries. It is possible that these low
grade zones represent the initial mineralization event, but lack the subsequent
secondary enrichment provided by later, deformation event associated quartz veins.

Recent interpretations for the geology and genesis of gold mineralization on the
Burns Block suggest an early, volcanogenic-associated model. Primary rock units in
and around the deposit include dacitic flows and sedimentary volcaniclastic deposits.
Additional data from exploration drilling showed that gold mineralization at the Burns
Block has a strong gold-pyrite association, including ubiquitous sphalerite, and a very
high ratio of silver to gold. These features suggest a transitional epithermal origin. No
significant base metal mineralization or stratiform sulphide lenses have been
encountered to date.

There appear to have been two stages of gold mineralization in the Burns Block. The
first (low to moderate grade) gold mineralization was associated with the
emplacement of sulphide (pyrite-sphalerite-chalcopyrite) as veins and disseminations
in dacitic rocks A later (high-grade) gold mineralization event included the
emplacement of quartz-pyrite/chalcopyrite-gold veins and veinlets. Both events are
post-dated by deformation, when the auriferous quartz veins that post-date the
sulphide stringers and veins and were emplaced.

Several of the larger transitional volcanogenic gold deposits are located in Canada,
including the Hemlo, Troilus, Douay and Dublin Gulch deposits.

9.1 AI RBORNE GEOPHYSI CS
In December 2010, Geotech Ltd. carried out a helicopter-borne geophysical survey
over the Burns Block and surrounding areas. Geophysical sensors included a
versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) system, and a cesium magnetometer.
Aircraft positioning was done using a GPS navigation system and a radar altimeter. A
total of 308 line-kilometres of geophysical data were acquired during the survey.

Quality control, quality assurance, and preliminary data processing were carried out
on a daily basis during the acquisition phase of the project. Final data processing
was completed after the end of the survey, and presented to Bayfield in February
2011.
The area was flown in a north to south (0 azimuth) direction with traverse line
spacing of 100 metres. Tie lines were flown perpendicular to the traverse lines at a
spacing of 1000 metres (90 azimuth).
The survey was flown using a Eurocopter Aerospatiale (Astar) 350 B3 helicopter.
The helicopter maintained a mean altitude of 73 metres above the ground with a
nominal survey speed of 80 km/hour.

The electromagnetic system was a Geotech Time Domain EM (VTEM) system. The
VTEM Receiver and transmitter coils were in concentric-coplanar and Z-direction
oriented configuration. The receiver system for the project also included a coincident-
coaxial X-direction coil to measure the in-line dB/dt and calculate B-Field responses.
The EM bird was towed at a mean distance of 35 metres below the aircraft. The
magnetic sensor utilized for the survey was Geometrics optically pumped cesium
vapour magnetic field sensor mounted 13 metres below the helicopter. The sensitivity
of the magnetic sensor is 0.02 nanoTesla (nT) at a sampling interval of 0.1 seconds.

A Terra TRA 3000/TRI 40 radar altimeter was used to record terrain clearance. The
antenna was mounted beneath the bubble of the helicopter cockpit. The navigation
system used was a Geotech PC104 based navigation system utilizing a NovAtels
CDGPS (Canada-Wide Differential Global Positioning System Correction Service)
enable OEM4-G2-3151W GPS receiver, Geotech navigate software, a full screen
display with controls in front of the pilot to direct the flight and an NovAtel GPS
antenna mounted on the helicopter tail. As many as 11 GPS and two CDGPS
satellites may be monitored at any one time. The positional accuracy or circular error
probability (CEP) is 1.8 m, with CDGPS active, it is 1.0 m.

A combined magnetometer/GPS base station was utilized on this project. The base
station was installed 200 metres from landing spot (4906.5557 N, 93 55.3997 W);

9.2 DI AMOND DRI L L I NG
Early drilling by Rainy River resources was largely in the footwall of the known
mineralization. Bayfield began drilling the deposit in 2010, and have drilled 103,044
in 310 diamond drill holes and 8 wedged holes to date. Diamond drilling has been
the primary method of exploration on the property. More details of their drilling
program are provided in section 10.
Drill core analysis and assaying is being conducted by ACT Labs in Thunder Bay,
Ont. The lab is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (CAN-P-4E) certified.
The drill core is split and sampled in 0.5 metre to 1.5 metre intervals. The core
samples were analyzed for gold by 30-gm fire assay with AA finish. Samples over
5,000 ppb we re-assayed with a gravimetric method. In addition, screened total
metallic assays are being performed on samples assaying over 5,000 ppb.
The core samples were analyzed for silver by Ag Aqua Regia with an ICP finish. Ag
Fire Assay-Gravimetric assays are conducted on samples greater than 100 ppm Ag.
Bayfield 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.

10.1 RAI NY RI VER RESOURCES
Rainy River Resources (RR) began drilling the Burns Block in 2008. There were 10
holes that were either collared on the Burns Block, or drilled through portions of the
property. Hole NR08283 was one of those holes, collared 100 meters S of the SW
corner of the Burns Block, and drilled north onto the Burns Block. This hole
intersected strong gold mineralization from 501.5 to 507.5 meters down hole, and is
considered the discovery hole on the Burns Block. The 6 meter interval returned
5.76 g/t Au and 6.0 g/t Ag.


10.2 BAYF I EL D VENT URES
In 2010, Bayfield began a 19,354 metre 54 hole drilling program on the Burns Block.
The objective of this program was to extend the limits of the gold and silver
mineralization that had been identified on the adjacent New Gold (previously Rainy
River Resources) property, east onto Bayfield's Burns Block property. The Burns
Block drill program focused on delineation drilling of the gold-silver zones on the
western portion of the Burns Block, and the exploration towards the eastern portion
of the Burns Block, through a series drill fences. This drilling on the Burns Block
defined a continuous gold-silver zone across the property, and outlined a significant
tonnage of gold-silver mineralization.
50,668 meters of drilling in 205 holes on the Burns Block in 2011 identified the
Intrepid zone, a high grade gold-silver zone on the eastern portion of the Burns
Block. The Intrepid zone is a zone of higher grade gold-silver mineralization at depth,
that extends off the eastern edge of the property near surface. As Bayfield continued
to define the extension of the Intrepid zone, more detailed follow-up drilling was
focused on targeting additional high grade zones and shoots within the mineralized
envelope.
In 2012, 36 diamond drill holes and 3 wedged holes, totalling 22,214 meters were
drilled, primarily targeted at increasing the knowledge base of the Intrepid zone, and
some limited infill drilling on the western part of the property.
in 2013 there were an additional 15 diamond drill holes and 5 wedged holes totalling
10,808 meters, drilled on the Intrepid zone.

11.1 SAMPL E PREPARAT I ON AND ASSAYI NG
Bayfield has employed 2 distinct sampling procedures on the Burns Block. The first is
a traditional method, and is used in areas where mineralization is expected to occur.
Samples are all less than 1.5m long. For these, the broken pieces of core are first
fitted together end to end, and a cutting reference line is marked along the top of the
foliation. The sample start and end points are clearly marked with lumber crayon.
The core is transferred to the cutting room, where it is sawn along the reference line
and both halves are returned to the core box. The technician then collects the
samples by taking the back half of core for each marked interval and placing the half
core in standard plastic sample bags. A unique sample tag is included in the bag
with each sample. The sample number is also written on the outside of the plastic
sample bag.

For samples taken outside the areas of visible or expected mineralization, there is no
length limit. For these samples, Bayfield chips the core and collects the chips in a
plastic sample bag. A unique sample tag is included in the bag with each sample
and the sample number is also written on the outside of the plastic sample bag.


The plastic sample bags are bundled together in large woven polyethylene sacks
(rice bags) which are sealed at the camp site. The samples are taken to Fort Francis
by Bayfield personnel, where they are picked up by commercial carrier (Manitoulin)
for transport to the assay lab in Thunder Bay, ON.

Drill core analysis and assaying is being conducted by ACT Labs in Thunder Bay,
Ont. The lab is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (CAN-P-4E) certified.
The drill core is split and sampled in 0.5 metre to 1.5 metre intervals. The core
samples were analyzed for gold by 30-gm fire assay with AA finish. Samples over
5,000 ppb we re-assayed with a gravimetric method. In addition, screened total
metallic assays are being performed on samples assaying over 5,000 ppb.
The core samples were analyzed for silver by Ag Aqua Regia with an ICP finish. Ag
Fire Assay-Gravimetric assays are conducted on samples greater than 100 ppm Ag.
Riverbend evaluated the Au/Ag ratio for the sample data that exists, but could not
determine a constant ratio between the two.

11.2 QUAL I T Y ASSURANCE & QUAL I T Y CONT ROL
Standard reference materials are used to monitor the accuracy and precision of the
assay laboratory on an ongoing basis. The accuracy of assay results is the
difference between the laboratory result, and the expected result. The precision of
the assay results is an indication of the variability of the analytical result. Large
numbers of standard samples can provide occasional results outside the standard
deviation of the standard, as this is the statistical norm. Significant numbers of
outliers, or outliers grouped within specific batches, or time periods, suggest a
problem.
Samples blanks should return values below the detection limit of the assay method.
They are used to determine the extent of cross contamination between samples.
Cross contamination may occur anywhere in the core logging and sampling process,
thru the entire analytical process. Systematic contamination will typically bias grades
upwards.
Sample repeats are carried out as a process check by the laboratory. After the
sample has been crushed and pulverized, 2 subsamples are selected for analysis.
Sample duplicates are best used to monitor the analytical method used by the
laboratory, and should not be relied upon to monitor the overall quality control of the
sampling program. The variability between original assays and repeat assays should
be low.
Sample duplicates are repeat assays of samples that had been previously submitted
for analysis. They typically consist of drill core, or crushed rejects. The variability
between original assays and duplicate assays should be low, but is typically higher
than the variability between original and repeat assays. Sample duplicates with a
high variability typically indicate a high "nugget effect", or a high statistical variability.

11. 2. 1 RAI NY RI VER RESOURCES
An independent technical report, compiled by I. Kelso et. al. in 2008 reviewed the RR
QAQC program for their entire drill program. The Burns Block does not appear to be
included in this particular report. Given the close geographical proximity, it is the
author's opinion that a similar QAQC program would have been used for the Burns
Block drilling.
Mr. Kelso reported that standard performance was monitored as data was returned
by the lab. Lab results were compared against the recommended values provided on
the standard certificate. The reference materials which were obtained from Rocklabs
Ltd., included low grade reference material (SH13 or SH24) and high grade
reference material (SL20, SK21, or SK33). The geologist prepared the reference
materials by measuring sufficient amount of the pulp and sealing it into zip lock bags,
which the technician would insert into the sample stream at the appropriate location.

Bayfield Ventures Corp. 42
Burns Block NI 43-101 Compliant Technical Report January 2014

Material collected for analytical blanks was obtained from the Black Hawk Stock.
The technician was responsible for placing a QA/QC sample within the sample
stream when they came across a tag (placed by the geologist) in the core box. The
reference materials were rotated into the sample stream approximately 1 QAQC
sample for every 40 core samples.

Standards SH24, SK21, and SK33 have exhibited high rates of failure. All 6
standards indicate a low analytical bias. Overall, the results of the QA/QC standards
indicate a low analytical bias of 4 to 6%.

Bayfield's database shows that Rainy River Resources (RR) collected a series of 249
repeat assays from the 2509 samples collected on the Burns Block. This is
consistent with Kelso's report, which indicated that Accurassay completed repeat
analysis of 10% of the samples. At face value, the repeat assays correlate
reasonably well with the original assays.

Bayfield historically relied upon the use of standard reference samples, and
laboratory sample repeats analyzed in the course of the laboratory's internal quality
control program. Riverbend compared the original samples with the sample repeats.
Samples that originally assayed greater than 5000 ppb, the upper detection limit,
were excluded.

Figure 11-2 Bayfield laboratory repeat assays
The repeat sampling program revealed excellent correlation for all samples less than
2000 ppb Au (2 g/t). Above 2000 ppb there appeared to by a positive systemic bias
for the repeat samples.
Bayfield recently re-sampled 163 intervals and submitted them to ALS laboratory in
Thunder Bay, ON. The duplicate samples consisted of the coarse crushed reject
from previous sampling programs, that Bayfield had stored near the project site.
Most ALS Geochemistry laboratories are registered or are pending registration to
ISO 9001:2008, and a number of analytical facilities have received ISO 17025
accreditations for specific laboratory procedures. The duplicate sample program
compared favorably with the original assay values that were obtained from TSL
Laboratories and ACT Laboratories.

Bayfield relied extensively on the use of certified reference materials to monitor
laboratory performance. A standard was inserted into the sample stream at the core
logging facility at a rate of about 1 standard per 30 samples. Over the project life a
number of standards have been used, based on their commercial availability. The
standards were all provided by Ore Research and Exploration Pty Ltd (Oreas) of
Australia, a well known supplier of certified reference materials.
The performance of the laboratories with the standards was up to industry standards

Riverbend is satisfied that the assay laboratories used by Bayfield have accurately
analyzed the gold content of the samples.

11.3 SECURI T Y
The core was transported from the drill to the logging facility by Bayfield personnel.
The logging facility consist of a number of trailers and core racks on an isolated site.
After geological logging of the core it is transferred to the cutting room, where it is
sawn in half. The technician then collects the samples for each marked interval and
placing the half core in standard plastic sample bags. A unique sample tag is
included in the bag with each sample. The sample number is also written on the
outside of the plastic sample bag. The plastic sample bags are bundled together in
large woven polyethylene sacks (rice bags) which are sealed at the camp site. The
samples are taken to Fort Francis by Bayfield personnel, where they are picked up
by commercial carrier (Manitoulin) for transport to the assay lab in Thunder Bay, ON.

Riverbend's opinion is that the security of the samples is adequate, and there is little
opportunity for tampering.

The drill core from the 2010 thru 2012 drill programs was reviewed as part of the site
visit. Assays from drilling that preceded the 2010 program could not be verified, as
drill core from earlier periods was not available. These earlier holes were drilled
north of the deposit, and were not used in preparing the resource estimate.
Mr. Cliff Duke, P.Eng., visited the Burns Block Property on June 13, 2013. The
purpose of the visit was to fulfil the obligations required under NI 43-101. Mr. Duke
toured the property and visited the drill sites of some of the diamond drill holes. He
reviewed the core logging and sampling process with Bob Marvin, and was given the
opportunity to review the rock types and style of mineralization presented in the drill
core
A series of 19 samples of half sawn previously sampled drill core were collected and
submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. ("Actlabs") at 1201 Walsh St. West in
Thunder Bay, ON. The Thunder Bay Actlabs is individually certified by the Standards
Council of Canada to conform to the standards within ISO/IEC 17025:2005, and is
wholly independent of Bayfield.
Actlabs analyzed the samples using a fire assay-gravity finish method, in which a 30
g sample is mixed with silver free fire assay fluxes (borax, soda ash, silica, litharge).
"The mixture is placed in a fire clay crucible, the mixture is preheated at 850C,
intermediate 950C and finish 1060C, the entire fusion process should last 60
minutes. The crucibles are then removed from the assay furnace and the molten slag
(lighter material) is carefully poured from the crucible into a mould, leaving a lead
button at the base of the mould. The lead button is then placed in a preheated cupel
which absorbs the lead when cupelled at 950C to recover the Ag (dor bead) + Au.
The cupellation of bead is controlled in the final point by the volatile of the silver. The
Ag bead is weighed and Ag value calculated from the weight. Au is separated from
the Ag in the dor bead by parting with nitric acid. The gold (roasting) flake remaining
is weighed gravimetrically on a micro balance for Au." (Actlabs website
http://www.actlabs.com/page.aspx?page=477&app=226&cat1=549&tp=12&lk=no&m
enu=64)
Precious metal deposits typically have an inherit variability, as the gold and silver are
distributed as discrete grains. Getting one grain more, or one less, in a sample can
significantly change the grade. Statistically speaking, this "nugget effect" error
should be the same for two groups of samples taken from the same area of the
deposit. This effect shows up as the dispersion of the points from the regression
line, and is reflected by the R
2
value, where R
2
=1 indicates good correlation, R
2
=0
indicates no correlation.

Figure 12-1 Duplicate core samples collected by Riverbend vs. original assays

The Actlab results are compared to the original assay values in the Bayfield
database in the attached regression curve. Riverbend was careful to collect a series
of samples across the entire grade range of the deposit. There is reasonable
agreement between the 2 sample sets, with the sample duplicates in general
displaying a lower grade. This may be due to the small sample population, or the
difference in assaying methods (between the two labs) of the high grade samples.
The re-sampling program indicates that gold is present on the Burns Block property,
and that higher and lower grade sections have been correctly identified.
Riverbend has reviewed Bayfield's data and accepts the results are adequate for
resource estimation.

Riverbend conducted a Mineral Resource estimate of the gold mineralization on
Bayfields Burns Block. The estimation was completed for gold and silver on the
Burns Block using data from recent drilling.

Gemcom Software's GEMS Version 6.5 was used for the resource estimate. Bayfield
provided the data in digital files. The data was delivered in June 2013. The digital
data consisted of diamond drill hole logs containing collar locations, down hole
surveys, lithology and assay data.

14.1 DEF I NI T I ONS
The classification of mineral resources and mineral reserves used in this report
conforms with the definitions standards provided in the final version of National
Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"), which came into effect on February 1, 2001, as
revised on December 11, 2005. The Definitions Standards includes further changes
to maintain compatibility with the new version of National Instrument 43-101, effective
June 30, 2011. We further confirm that, in arriving at our classification, we have
followed the guidelines and standards by the Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy
and Petroleum ("CIM") Council adopted on November 27, 2010. The relevant
definitions for the CIM Standards/NI 43-101 are as follows:

A Mineral Resource is a concentration or occurrence of diamonds, natural
solid inorganic, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base
and precious metals, coal, and industrial minerals in or on the Earth's
crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has
reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity,
grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are
known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and
knowledge.

An Inferred Mineral Resource is that part of a Mineral Resource

for which
quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological
evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified,
geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited
information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from
locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

An Indicated Mineral Resource is that part of a Mineral Resource

for which
quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics,
can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the
appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support
mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The
estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing
information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such
RiverbendGeologicalServicesInc.


Bayfield Ventures Corp. 57
Burns Block NI 43-101 Compliant Technical Report January 2014

as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced
closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably
assumed.

A Measured Mineral Resource is that part of a Mineral Resource

for which
quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics
are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence
sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic
parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the
economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and
reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through
appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits,
workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both
geological and grade continuity.

A Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured or
Indicated Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary
Feasibility Study. This Study must include adequate information on
mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors
that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be
justified. A Mineral Reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for
losses that may occur when the material is mined.

A Probable Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of an
Indicated and, in some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource
demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. This Study must
include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical,
economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of
reporting, that economic extraction can be justified.

A Proven Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured
Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility Study.
This Study must include adequate information on mining, processing,
metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at
the time of reporting, that economic extraction is justified.

14.2 EXPL ORAT ORY DAT A ANAL YSI S
Exploratory data analysis ("EDA") is the application of statistical tools to elucidate
characteristics of the data, such as the shape of the relative frequency distribution
and cumulative frequency distributions, as shown on histograms and probability
plots, and statistics such as the mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation.

The coefficient of variation ("CV") is the standard deviation divided by the mean. This
is a useful tool to measure the relative dispersion of a distribution. A coefficient of
variation which is less than one generally depicts syngenetic deposits, whereas a CV
of one to two are typical of hydrothermal processes. The presence of "bonanza"
high-grade shoots or veins may cause the CV to reach three. Where the CV is
greater than three, the mixture of two or more distinct ore-forming processes (or
mineralization) can often be identified.

Bayfield Ventures Corp. 58
Burns Block NI 43-101 Compliant Technical Report January 2014


Identification of the spatial continuity by means of variography is an EDA tool, which
is later used to perform kriging. Variography is used as part of the kriging
parameters allowing the software to assign weights to the sample points. Kriging
weights are estimated based on spatial autocorrelation between sample points.
Kriging is typically used for spatial prediction where the data are expected to follow a
trend varying in both mean (expected value), and variance by location.

In general, variography is done on composite-sized volumes, which are nominally of
equal length. This is because the variance of a distribution is inversely proportional to
the volume of sample used. Use of unequal length composites can distort the
frequency distributions and make variography very noisy.

14. 2. 1 ASSAYS
A total of 33,625 assay intervals from 328 drill holes were used to define the zone of
mineralization on the deposit. Of these, 23,546 sample intervals were assayed as
equal to or greater than 0.01 g/t Au. Of these, 21,390 samples were 1.5m long or
less. This was the data set that was used to describe the sample population. Data
analysis was conducted by creating probability and histogram plots of the data. The
probability plot exhibits a lognormal population, defined by a straight line on the
cumulative probability curve.

The CV for the gold assay data set is 13.2, indicating that the grade variability within
the sample population is very high. Further study showed that the CV for samples
inside the wireframes was 6.7. This is high, even for a hydrothermal quartz vein
hosted deposit. The mean assay value was 0.42 g/t, above the median of the assay
values, 0.06 g/t. This is typical for this style of deposit, where a few high grade
samples can have a large effect on the sample population distribution.

The CV for the silver assays is 8.0, indicating that the grade variability within the
sample population is also very high. This is high, even for a hydrothermal quartz vein
hosted deposit. The mean assay value was 4.4 g/t, above the median of the assay
values, 0.9 g/t. This is typical for this style of deposit, where a few high grade
samples can have a large effect on the sample population distribution.

There were 444 density measurements taken from the drill core recovered from the
property. The density measurements displayed a distinct bi-modal distribution,
centered around 2.8 and 3.0 T/m
3
. Comparison with the drill logs shows that the
high density cluster is due to the more mafic units on the property. Mineralization
usually occurs in quartz veins within the Dacite units, so Riverbend has elected to
use the median value of 2.77 T/m
3
(All Dacite units) in the resource estimate.

The Burns Block has been interpreted as the product of late mesothermal gold-silver
mineralization of an early volcanogenic sulfide rich mineralized zone. The rocks
hosting the deposit appear similar on both sides of the deposit, so geological
modelling was limited to defining of the mineralized zones. As with most shear
zones there are small splays that extend from the main shear. These were not
modelled.

Riverbend defined a series of north-south vertical sections across the deposit on
15m spacing, which approximated the spacing and primary orientation of the drill
holes. Rings constraining the mineralized rock were digitized on the sections where
drilling was present. A series of plan views were defined at 50m intervals, and a
second set of rings was digitized to join the vertical sections. The rings were edited
as required to form a 3D wireframe, deemed geometrically correct by GEMS.
A surface representing the top of the bedrock was created from the diamond drill
hole data. The point where the bottom of the overburden was encountered in each
surface drill hole was used to create a best fit surface. The mineralized wireframes
were truncated at this surface.

14.5 SPAT I AL ANAL YSI S
14. 5. 1 CAPPI NG
When frequency distributions are skewed, a very small number or proportion of
samples may represent a large amount of the contained metal in the resource.
Frequently these samples may be scattered through the deposit and not restricted to
spatially identifiable or continuous zones. Sometimes small clusters of high-grade
mineralization may be present, and it may or may not be possible or practical to
restrict their influence. Other times the very high-grade samples may be the result of
laboratory errors; pulps sometimes segregate high specific gravity materials like
electrum or pyrite and may produce biased results if the pulps are not re-
homogenized prior to aliquot selection for analysis.

Even when the assays are valid, linear interpolation (weighted average) grade
estimation methods can be adversely affected. When these methods are used, the
inclusion of a high-grade sample will have a greater influence on the estimate than a
lower grade sample. This can lead to undue projection (or smearing) of the effect of
high-grade material into areas for which there is no evidence in hand that the high-
grade material continues to occur. Under such circumstances, restriction of the
influence of the higher grade material is mandatory.

Riverbend carried out a decile analysis of the data. Typically in a decile analysis
capping is warranted if the last decile has more than 40% of metal, or the last decile
contains more than 2.3 times the metal quantity contained in the one before last, or
the last centile contains more than 10% of metal, or the last centile contains more
than 1.75 times the metal quantity contained in the one before last.

On the basis of a review of probability and histogram plots, and the results of decile
analysis, Riverbend concluded that there is reasonable justification for capping the
gold values at 100 g/t, and the silver values at 800 g/t. This capping limit affects 9
Au assays and 13 Ag assays. Decile analysis suggested that capping was
warranted, and cumulative probability plots showed that the sample population
continuity began to break up and drift away from the trend line as values exceeded
the capping limits. Details of the capping study can be found in the appendices.

Silver assays were left uncapped, as the upper analytical limit has altered the upper
ranges of the probability plot, and artificially imposed a 100 g/t limit on most of the
sample population.
14. 5. 2 COMPOSI TES
In conversation with Bayfield personnel, it was revealed that the early sampling
practice of "chip sampling" long sections of core outside the mineralized zone had
been discontinued. Many of these early chip samples were anomalous in length (up
to 16.9m). As a result, all samples longer than 1.5m have been removed from the
sample length analysis. The very long sample adversely affected the core length
statistics.

The sample length distribution histogram shows two strong peaks, at 1.0 and 1.5 m.
Based on this information 1.0 m composites were created. Riverbend was
concerned that, given the nugget nature of the deposit, longer composites would
smooth the data excessively.

Figure 14-4 Core sample lengths

Assays were composited into 1.0 m down hole lengths honouring the interpreted
geological solids. No composites were generated outside the 3D wireframe. Zero
grades were composited if the intervals within the solids were not sampled.

Commonly the compositing of down hole assays results in a fractional length for the
last sample in a given hole. Composite remnants, which are composites less than
1.0 m in length, are unavoidable if the hard geological boundaries are to be honored.
Riverbend did not use composites less than 0.25m long in estimating the grade.

Riverbend compared the composited values to the original assay values that were
inside the wireframes by a visual comparison of the two populations. Very little
difference between the two populations was noted. Riverbend concludes that using
1m long composites will not over smooth the resource estimate.

14. 5. 3 VARI OGRAPHY
Identification of the spatial continuity within a deposit is by means of variography,
which is later used to perform kriging. Variography is used as part of the kriging
parameters allowing the software to assign weights to the sample points, based on
their direction and distance from the block being estimated. Kriging weights are
estimated based on spatial autocorrelation between sample points. Kriging is
typically used for spatial prediction where the data are expected to follow a trend
varying in both mean (expected value), and variance by location. In general,
variography is done on composite-sized volumes, which are nominally of equal
length.

Riverbend generated the variogram for the Burns Block deposit using SAGE2001, a
software package specifically designed to generate models of three dimensional
spatial continuity. A down hole variogram was first generated to establish the nugget
effect, or short range sample variability. The nugget was set as a fixed value, and a
correlogram for the deposit was generated. Correlograms measure the statistical
correlation between data points, as opposed to the variation measured in variograms.
As such, correlograms have a range of 1 (no correlation) and the structures of the
correlogram are described as fractions of the range.



Figure 14-6 Correlogram parameters used for resource estimation

Correlograms were first generated for each lens independently. Some lenses had
insufficient samples to generate meaningful correlograms. Riverbend elected to use
a global correlogram for all the zones, as many of the individual zones generated
similar correlograms. Individual correlograms were generated for gold and silver.

The correlograms parameters generated for the Burns Block that were used to
estimate the deposit are listed below. Full details are in the appendices.

The Burns Block correlograms both displayed moderate nugget effect, and good
short range support. The correlograms indicate that there is little long range
continuity of grade through the deposit, and close spaced drilling will be needed.
The first structure carries the most influence of the variogram. Short ranges (less
than the block size) have the effect of making all the samples appear to be equally
distant.

14.6 RESOURCE BL OCK MODEL
A block model was generated in GEMS using a 5 m x 5 m x 5 m block size. The
block model was oriented north-south to approximate the strike direction of the
deposit. GEMS defines the block model origin using a minimum X, minimum Y, and
maximum Z format.
The following parameters were used in the definition of the block model in GEMS:
Number of Blocks
o Columns: 168
o Rows: 87
o Levels: 180

Origin and Rotation
o X: 426340
o Y: 5409327.7
o Z: 400
o Rotation: none

Within the block model, folders were set-up for Rock Type, Density, Percent, Au, Ag
and Au-ID.
The Rock Type folder was updated so that any block touching the wireframe was
given the Rock Type code of the wireframe. The wireframe had been truncated at
the bedrock surface, and no further modelling above the bedrock surface was done.
The Percent model folder contains values that represent the percentage of the block
that is inside the wireframe. The percent model is used, along with the density
model, to estimate the tonnage of the mineralization within a block.
The Au and Ag folders contains the grade estimate using ordinary kriging ("OK"),
while the Au-ID folder contains the grade estimate using an inverse distance method
("ID").

14.7 I NT ERPOL AT I ON PL AN
Riverbend estimated the resource in the Burns Block using Ordinary Kriging (OK),
and checked the results using an Inverse Distance Squared (ID) method. The
estimations were designed as a three pass system. The first pass estimated a block
only if a minimum of three drill hole composites were found within a restrictive search
ellipsoid approximately equal to the block size. This first pass was intended to assign
grades to those blocks that were penetrated by, or immediately adjacent to diamond
drill holes. The second pass allowed a block to be interpolated if it was not
interpolated during the first pass, and if a minimum of three drill hole composites from
two different drill holes were found within a search ellipsoid approximately equal to
the correlogram range. The third pass looked for at least two composites within a
large search radius, and was intended to populate those areas of the model that
were within the wireframe, but more distant from any diamond drill holes. The search
ellipse was shaped as a flat disk, oriented to be parallel to the deposit. Table 3
summarizes the search distances and right hand rotations used for estimating the
block grades.


SEARCH ELLIPSE PARAMETERS
Table 14-1 Resource estimate search ellipse parameters
Rotation Range (m)
Z Y Z X Y Z
First Pass 0 0 0 5 5 5
Second Pass 0 60 0 15 25 5
Third Pass 0 60 0 50 100 10

Blocks that were populated by the first 2 passes were identified as indicated
resources, while those more distant blocks populated by the third pass were
classified as inferred.
The Au and Ag block models were populated individually. An additional AuEQ model
was subsequently populated with grades from the Au and Ag values of the same
block. This was done using the formula:
AuEQ = Au + (Ag / 60)

This equivalent grade model was to classify the blocks by cut off grade. The formula
was derived from the relationship between the spot prices of Au and Ag at the time
the report was prepared. Fluctuations of the Au and Ag prices will vary the
relationship, but history has shown the changes are not significant.

14.8 MI NERAL RESOURCE TABUL AT I ON
Riverbend estimates that the Burns Block contains a total indicated resource of 1.3
million tonnes grading 1.4 g/t Au, and 16.0 g/t Ag. An additional inferred resource of
3.0 million tonnes grading 1.6 g/t Au and 16.0 g/t Ag has also been estimated.

Ordinary kriging was used to estimate the resource. Riverbend has used a lower
cutoff of 0.35 g/t for the near surface part of the resource, and 2.5 g/t for the resource
that lies more than 500m below surface. These parameters were similar to those
used in "Technical Report for the Rainy River Gold Project, Northwestern Ontario,
Canada" a resource estimate prepared for the immediately adjacent Rainy River gold
deposit, now at feasibility stage. Due to the preliminary nature of this estimate, no
losses due to recovery were considered.

The Ag content adds significant value to the Burns Block. In order to include this
value, RIverbend has added the Ag value to the Au value using the formula:

AuEQ = Au grade + (Ag grade / 60)

The formula was derived from the relationship between the spot prices of Au and Ag
at the time the report was prepared. Fluctuations of the Au and Ag prices will vary
the relationship, but history has shown the changes are not significant. The lower
cutoff grades for the deposit have been determined from the Au equivalent grade.

The following tables show the division of resources between the open pit accessible,
and the underground accessible.

14.9 BL OCK MODEL VAL I DAT I ON
The Burns Block Mineral Resource estimate was validated by:

Comparing contained metal differences between OK and ID estimation methods;
Visual comparison of block grades with drill hole assays; and
Fence plots to show the resource distribution.

Comparing the metal contained within the OK estimate with the ID estimate provides
a global evaluation of the resource estimate. OK is a generally preferred method of
resource estimation, as it tends to reduce conditional bias. Conditional bias is the
situation where limited data tends to overestimate high grades and underestimate
low grades.

5 11.94 12.48 104,156 108,833 4%
2.5 7.53 7.80 129,935 134,563 3%

0 0.89 0.91 245,956 248,980 1%

Ordinary Kriging produced a gold grade estimate that is marginally less than the ID
method at the published cut off grades. The similarity between the two estimation
methods supports the OK estimate as valid. The slightly higher resource predicted
by ID reflects the anisotropy of the ID method, whereas the correlogram in the OK
method tended to limit the influence of high grade samples along strike, and project
them down dip.
A visual comparison of the block grades with local diamond drill holes shows a good
correlation between the two.
A fence plot of the resource estimate was generated to evaluate the distribution of
the resource with respect to northing, easting and elevation. The resource estimated
for each row, column or level of blocks in the model was plotted on a graph.
All the graphs shows a consistent relationship between the distribution of Au and Ag.
When plotted by level the vertical variation in the model is displayed, and a large
amount of the resource is contained between level 90 and level 120. This
corresponds with the Intrepid zone, located at depth on the east end of the property.
To display the variation in the resource from east to west, the column plot shows that
a significant amount of the resource is located along the west boundary, and again,

the Intrepid zone at the east end also shows up. Plotting the resource by row shows
the variation in the deposit in a north south direction. Because the deposit dips about
60, this plot appears similar to the resource by level plot.

Extensive gold-silver mineralization has been outlined on the Burns Block.
Recent interpretations for the geology and genesis of gold mineralization on the
Burns Block suggest an early, volcanogenic-associated model. Primary rock units in
and around the deposit include dacitic flows and sedimentary volcaniclastic deposits.
Additional data from exploration drilling showed that gold mineralization at the Burns
Block has a strong gold-pyrite association, including ubiquitous sphalerite, and a very
high ratio of silver to gold. There appear to have been two stages of gold
mineralization in the Burns Block. The first (low to moderate grade) gold
mineralization was associated with the emplacement of sulphide (pyrite-sphalerite-
chalcopyrite) as veins and disseminations in dacitic rocks A later (high-grade) gold
mineralization event included the emplacement of quartz-pyrite/chalcopyrite-gold
veins and veinlets.
The Burns Block is of limited size, and has been extensively drilled. Nonetheless,
the central part of the property requires additional testing. The resources that have
been identified cross the property boundaries onto the adjacent ground held by New
Gold. New Gold's Rainy River project, that surrounds the Burns Block is currently in
the feasibility stage.

It is apparent that while the east and west ends of the claim block are well drilled,
only sparse drilling has been conducted in the central part of the claim block.
Riverbend proposes that a row of diamond drill holes be drilled across the central
part of the claim, to intersect the mineralized horizon, about 450m below surface
(RB-05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10). The holes have been spaced about 50m apart. This
series of holes should identify any significant volume of mineralization that could
remain undetected in this part of the claim. This part of the program would require
2,970m of drilling and is expected to cost $445,500.
A series of holes has also been proposed near section 427000E (RB-11, 12, 13, 14).
While the "Intrepid" zone has been interpreted to plunge steeply to the south-west,
the possibility that this high grade part of the deposit extends toward the surface, to
the west, has not been tested. This part of the program would require 2,070m of
drilling and is expected to cost $310,500.
Riverbend has proposed 4 additional holes at depth in the western part of the claim
(RB-01, 02, 03, 04). These holes would help fill in large holes in the model that have
not been assigned a grade, due to a lack of data. This part of the program would
require 2,220m of drilling and is expected to cost $333,000.
Sectional views of the proposed drill holes are included in the appendices. All the
proposed holes have been drilled from the south claim boundary to obtain the best
core angle possible.
