NEWS RELEASE NOVEMBER 24, 2006
ROCHESTER ENGAGES EMPIRE COMMUNICATIONS INC.
AS ITS INVESTORS RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I): Douglas Good, President, is pleased to announce that the
Company has retained Empire Communications Inc. ("Empire") of Vancouver, BC, as
its investor relation's representative effective December 1, 2006. The principal
of Empire is Frank Taggart, a Vancouver based entrepreneur who has been
operating in the investor relations and business development consulting business
since 1996. Mr. Taggart has focused on corporate development, funding and
building companies primarily in the resource and energy technology fields. He
has a strong background in corporate governance, finance, as well as all other
aspects of business development. The investor relations program will focus on
shareholder communications, corporate development and building the Company an
active following of investment professionals in North America and, to a lesser
extent, Europe.
Empire, which is arm's length to the Company, has been retained for an initial
term of 6 months and, thereafter, on a month-to-month basis. Its remuneration
will be a monthly fee of $6,000 plus an incentive stock option to purchase
150,000 common shares at $1.40 per share for a period of three years subject to
the vesting provisions of Policy 4.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company's
previous investor relations contract with Accent Marketing Ltd. has expired.
Rochester is in the final phase of constructing a 200 tonnes/day conventional
mill near the Mina Real mine which is expected to be in operation in December
2006. The mill has a modular design which will allow for an increase in capacity
to 300+ tonnes/day at a reasonable incremental cost once mining operations are
scaled up to support this volume of mill feed.
The longer term strategy is to continue to acquire gold/silver properties
located in Mexico with the indicated potential for near-term production in the
range of 200-500 tonnes/day and good exploration potential for the generation of
a significant resource base. Based on the results of bulk samples mined to date
totaling just under 10,000 tonnes and the grades of the channel samples taken
from development mining completed in 2006 on the Mina Real Project, management
believes this strategic property has potential to produce a long-term revenue
stream which would set the stage for the acquisition and development of a series
of similar size mining and milling operations in the region.
