NEWS RELEASE MAY 24, 2007
ROCHESTER'S MINA REAL MILL RESUMES PRODUCTION
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I): The Board of Directors is pleased to advise that it has
received the necessary approvals and recommenced milling operation at its Mina
Real Gold/Silver Mine in the State of Nayarit, Mexico.
"With the completion of the modifications to the pregnant solution pumping and
piping systems and the additional capacity implemented in the grinding section,
we are now in an excellent position to meet, and possibly exceed, our initial
target of 200 tonnes/day with 80% grind passing 100 mesh and recovery of 90%+
for gold." Commented Dr. Alfredo Parra, President. "Agreement in principal has
also been reached with the regulatory authorities to develop a new tailings pond
in the vicinity of the mill which will ensure the necessary capacity to
implement a sustained increase in milling capacity above the current 200
tonne/day design."
Rochester represents a pure-play into the exploration and development of gold
and silver properties located in Mexico. With grades reported in 2007 ranging
all the way from an average of 12.1 grams/tonne gold and 209 grams/tonne of
silver over 775 metres of drift development, to 30.8 grams/tonne of gold and 212
grams/tonne of silver over eleven continuous samples taken from approximately 20
metres of ramp development within the vein system, the Mina Real Mine could
certainly be considered a "high-grade" gold/silver deposit.
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 currently the Company's in-house Qualified Person and QP Member of
the Mining and Metallurgical Society of America with special expertise in
Mining.
Rochester's 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.
