NEWS RELEASE OCTOBER 17, 2005
CORPORATE UPDATE
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT AND OTCBB: RCTFF) Mr.
Des O'Kell, President, is pleased to provide this update on corporate
activities.
In June the Company announced that the Castellana property did not meet the
Company's criteria for development and accordingly, a search began for a
property which offered near term production. At this time a property has been
identified which we believe meets the Company's criteria and accordingly, the
Company has initiated due diligence.
Rochester Resources Ltd., incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, trades on
the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "RCT", and on the OTCBB under symbol
"RCTFF". The Company's directors are experienced in the resource sector and are
focused on enhancing shareholder value by expanding Rochester's assets in this
sector. Management aims to identify exploration projects of high merit, and
quickly complete confirmation exploration. This will enable the Company to
confirm the potential of a project and reach advanced project status by the most
cost effective means and in the shortest time possible.
