NEWS RELEASE MARCH 12, 2007
ROCHESTER ACQUIRES A 70% INTEREST IN SECOND GOLD/SILVER PROPERTY
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I): The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that it has
entered into an agreement to acquire a 70% interest in the Santa Fe gold-silver
property located immediately east of its high-grade Mina Real Property in the
State of Nayarit, Mexico. The property covers approximately 3800 hectares, and
previous work has identified ten zones of epithermal veining and mineralization
on the property.
The information available from previous sampling, combined with observations
from a recent site visit, suggest there is potential to develop additional ore
sources for the nearby Mina Real mill, and to discover additional zones of
mineralization. Mineralization occurs over an elevation range of approximately
700 metres, and ranges from high-level discrete veins to broad zones of
alteration containing multiple veins. Check sampling by the Company's Mexican
consultants is currently underway; based on the results of this work, the
Company plans to commence a surface exploration program on the highest priority
targets.
The terms of the agreement require that Rochester fund 100% of all costs
associated with the exploration and development of the property and pay
US10,000/month to the minority owners until the property goes into production.
No royalties or other costs are associated with the acquisition.
"We are very fortunate to have been able to acquire such a promising property at
this stage in our development." commented Dr. Parra, President and CEO. "We are
nearing the completion of our startup phase at our 200 tonnes/day Mina Real Mill
and will be working aggressively to meet our next objective of increasing
production to 300 tonnes/day from mining activities at Mina Real. In view of the
fact that Rochester is now a producing junior, we expect to generate sufficient
cash flow from operations to develop this newly acquired property to production
status if, as and when justified.
The Santa Fe property is within trucking distance of our Mina Real Mill and has
the potential to provide additional mill feed to support a material increase in
capacity at the Mina Real Mill or possibly support the development of a second
mill in the area."
Dr. Alfredo Parra, the company's President, has an extensive background in
mining exploration and operations, including senior management level positions
with major Mexican based corporations such as CIA Minera Penoles and Kennecott.
Dr. Parra is a QP Member of the Mining and Metallurgical Society of America with
special expertise in Mining. Lindsay Bottomer P.Geo. who is a Qualified Person
as defined in NI 43-101, has reviewed the technical content of this news
release.
Rochester represents a pure-play into the exploration and development of gold
and silver properties located in Mexico. Its key operating personnel are highly
skilled and credentialed Mexican citizens with the ability to identify and
negotiate the acquisition of other advanced exploration and development
properties in the region. Operating management has strong support from an active
board of consulting directors with extensive experience in mining, milling and
exploration.
