ROCHESTER PROVIDES UPDATE ON EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITES
VANCOUVER, CANADA - OCTOBER 29, 2007, ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT;
OTCBB: RCTFF AND FRANKFURT: R5I): Dr. Alfredo Parra, President, is pleased to
report on a successful year to date and to provide a preview of Rochester's work
plans for the remainder of this year and 2008. Rochester has assembled an
attractive portfolio of high grade gold-silver properties located in the state
of Nayarit, Mexico, in the Sierra Madre Occidental range. This is the largest
epithermal precious metal region in the world, hosting a majority of Mexico's
large tonnage gold and silver deposits.
This has been a very exciting year to date for Rochester with several major
milestones achieved. In January, we commenced milling operations at the Florida
triple vein system; followed by drift development commencing at the Tajos Cuates
vein system; in March, Rochester acquired the Santa Fe exploration property; and
currently are initiating a very aggressive exploration and development program
at all three areas, Florida, Tajos Cuates, and Santa Fe.
We feel we can create significant shareholder value by simultaneously executing
on, and developing the following three concurrent activities:
1. MILL PRODUCTION - This will generate significant cash flow and help fund
our ongoing exploration and development with minimum share dilution;
2. DRIFT DEVELOPMENT - This will provide bulk sample-like information and
assist in generating a NI43-101 compliant reserve report while at the same time
providing feed for the mill; and,
3. EXPLORATION - 7000 metre Phase 1 diamond drill program to be initiated
immediately.
The recently completed $4 million financing will enable the Company to
accelerate all three stories. On the production front, studies are underway to
investigate the feasibility of a mill expansion to 300 tonnes/day. We will also
be able to complete another 2000 meters of drift development spread over all
three projects - Florida, Tajos Cuates, and Santa Fe. In addition, we are going
to implement an aggressive drill program of 7000 metres that will determine the
next steps for mine development and production levels.

FLORIDA VEIN SYSTEM
We will be implementing a 2000 metre diamond drill program and a 600 metre drift
development program at our Florida North project to identify the continuation of
the Florida triple vein system. The mineralization at Florida North has been
traced at surface for approximately 1.5km to the N-NW of the Florida mine. We
feel this will supplement the current mill with feed and increase the mine life
of Florida significantly.
TAJOS CUATES VEIN SYSTEM
Over the past six months we have been conducting drift development at our Tajos
Cuates vein system 800 meters southwest of Florida. We have discovered an
additional two off-shoot veins at this system and like Florida North, the vein
system has been traced at surface for approximately 1.5 kilometers. There are
significantly higher reported grades of silver at Tajos Cuates versus Florida.
We will be implementing a 2000 metre diamond drill program and a 600 metre drift
development program over the coming months.
SANTA FE PROPERTY
Earlier this year our Phase 1 exploration program combined with road development
successfully unveiled a very large vein system at surface called "Clavellinos".
Santa Fe is our highest priority exploration target; we will be implementing a
3000 metre diamond drill program and an 800 metre drift development program at
Clavellinos and several other parallel vein systems. We believe there is
significant potential to discover a stand-alone deposit capable of supporting
its own mill. In addition, we have identified 26 other vein systems across the
Santa Fe property with several vein systems striking greater than 4 kilometers
traced along surface. Of note, the "Clavellinos" vein system, at its north end,
has a 40 meter wide mineralized alteration zone with 3 sub-parallel high-grade
epithermal veins emplaced within, including a horizon potentially up to 700
meters (twice the horizon found at the Florida Mine). 4+ kilometers away at the
south end, the Clavellinos vein system has variable widths between 5 meters and
8 meters traced at surface.
MILL PRODUCTION
We are currently in production, processing 200 tonnes/day, and as of the end of
August 2007, we are generating positive cash flow from operations. Studies are
underway to investigate increasing production up to 300 tonnes/day by early
2008. We began the year with 140 employees and currently have over 200 full-time
employees. It is important to note that the anticipated positive cash flow
generated from milling activities will allow the Company to fund ongoing
exploration and development activities significantly beyond those stated above
without further share dilution.
The Company will have a very good idea in the next 12 months as to what the size
and scope of the project will look like and where we'll be headed due to the
-3-
aggressive program that we are initiating now. Moving forward, we will provide
you, the shareholders', with regular updates from our Production, Development,
and Exploration activities.
