NEWS RELEASE JULY 31, 2007
MINA REAL PRODUCTION UPDATE
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I): Rochester is pleased to announce that our regular weekly
shipments of gold and silver precipitate recommenced in early June and since
then having shown significant increases in production value on a month-to-month
basis. Shipments to the refinery for the four-week period ending June 29, 2007
had an estimated value of US$425,000, increasing to an estimated value of
$671,000 for the four-week period ended July 28, 2007.
During July processed tonnage through the mill has averaged about 180 tonnes per
day with throughput exceeding 200 tonnes per day on occasion. The throughput has
been impacted by the normal start up process and power interruptions. Said Dr.
Parra " We are in the rainy season, which poses certain challenges to our day to
day operations. June production was particularly impacted due to down time
associated with intermittent power outages being experienced from our primary
supplier of electricity. A second power generator was put into operation in the
last ten days which gives us the power capacity to operate when there is
disruption in service from the main grid." Further improvements are being
implemented to attain more accurate and continuous reconciliation of the
throughput tonnage, production, and deliveries to the refinery. Lower grade
material is currently being processed as mill feed while the milling process is
stabilized and recovery rates maximized. For the month of July the head grades
averaged approximately 7 grams per tonne gold and 140 grams per tonne silver.
Current recovery rate for gold is surpassing 90%.
We remain positive about the prospects for significant increases in throughput
tonnage and gold and silver production from current levels. We have not changed
our expectations of achieving commercial production at the 200-250 tonnes/day
level during the second half of 2007 and then moving to higher levels of
production as mining activity dictates
An updated report on exploration results is pending from our Mina Real and Santa
Fe properties.
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 represents a pure-play into the exploration and development of gold
and silver properties located in Mexico. The Mina Real Mine could certainly be
considered a "high-grade" gold/silver deposit with grades reported in 2007 from
mine development averaging 12 grams/tonne gold and 200 grams/tonne silver over
775 metres of drift development. With the completion of the Mina Real mill,
management believes that its Mina Real and Santa Fe properties have the
potential to produce a long-term revenue stream.
