NEWS RELEASE AUGUST 10, 2007
CHAIRMAN OF SILVER WHEATON JOINS ROCHESTER BOARD
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I): Dr. Alfredo Parra, President, is pleased to announce that
Eduardo Luna, Chairman of Silver Wheaton and recently retired President of
Goldcorp's Mexican mining operations, has joined the board of Rochester. Mr.
Luna has an advanced management degree from the Harvard School of Business and
seventeen years experience as President of Luismin, S.A. de C.V., one of
Mexico's largest producers of gold and silver and now a wholly owned subsidiary
of Goldcorp. He serves on the board of other mining companies such as Genco
Resources, is President of the Consulting Board for the School of Mines,
Universidad de Guanajuato, and a member of the advisory boards of the School of
Mines of both Mexico University and Zacatecas University. Mr. Luna has served as
President of the Mexican Chamber of Mines on two occasions and as President of
The Silver Institute from 2002-2003. He is also a member of the Board of ICME,
the International Council on Metals and the Environment. Mr. Luna replaces Gil
Leathley who continues to serve Rochester in a consulting capacity as a member
of the mining advisory committee.
"The addition of Eduardo to our board is further evidence of our commitment to
Mexico and our desire to build a strong Mexican based mining company" commented
Dr. Parra. "Rochester represents a pure-play into the exploration and
development of gold and silver properties located in Mexico. With the
commissioning of the Mina Real mill underway, I believe that our Mina Real and
Santa Fe properties have the potential to produce a sustained level of gold and
silver production to support our growth objectives."
