NEWS RELEASE NOVEMBER 20, 2007
ROCHESTER COMMENCES DRIFT DEVELOPMENT AND MOBILIZES DRILL
AT THE SANTA FE PROJECT, CLAVELLINOS AREA
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I): Dr. Alfredo Parra, President and CEO, is pleased to advise that
800 metres of drift development has commenced at the Clavellinos vein system and
the drill rig has been mobilized. A 3000 metre diamond drill program is planned
and will commence shortly on the Clavellinos area of the Santa Fe Project,
Nayarit State, Mexico. The exploration and development program (see Figure 1)
will test the extensive vein systems identified by previous surface sampling and
mapping.

Work to date has defined three main vein systems at Clavellinos, all of which
trend northwest and are sub-parallel with some cross veining. From west to east,
these are the Jonas System, the Clavellinos System and the Tajitos System. The
Jonas system is located 120 metres west of and parallel to the Clavellinos
System, and the Tajitos System is located 220 metres east of and parallel to the
Clavellinos System. The strike length traced at surface for Clavellinos has
increased and is now greater than 5 kilometres, Jonas has a strike length of 2.7
kilometres and Tajitos has a strike length approximately 1 kilometre. The strike
extensions of all three vein systems are vegetation covered, and may mask
greater strike lengths.
The Company has recently constructed approximately 8 kilometres of new road
access to the central portion of the Clavellinos area. This work exposed at
surface the aforementioned vein systems with a significant discovery of a 40
metre wide mineralized alteration zone at the Clavellinos System with three
sub-parallel high grade epithermal veins emplaced within.
Work to date at the Clavellinos area includes trenching, channel sampling,
mapping, structural interpretation, and geological modeling. Channel and trench
samples to date have returned the following results:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVERAGE AVERAGE
WIDTH GOLD SILVER ELEVATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.80 metres 1.96 g/t 140.19 g/t 1490 metres
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.32 metres 1.76 g/t 115.27 g/t 1470 metres
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.58 metres 2.94 g/t 271.16 g/t 1460 metres
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18.40 metres 0.09 g/t 80.32 g/t 1300 metres
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, a significant feature of the vein systems at Clavellinos is the
identification of gold and silver mineralization over a vertical extent
significantly greater than what is found at the Company's adjacent Mina Real
Project. This will be better defined by the phase 1 diamond drill program. The
vein structures on the Santa Fe Project appear similar to those encountered at
Mina Real where strong gold and silver grades have been reported from the
Company's mining activities.
Dr. Parra states "This is an exciting time for Rochester as the drill program
will provide an initial test of the extent and strength of the Santa Fe project
and whether the project warrants its own processing plant. With the operating
Mina Real mill nearby we will be able to quickly capitalize on success in this
drill program and move forward with a separate plant if required"
ABOUT ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD.
Rochester represents a pure-play into the exploration and development of high
grade gold and silver properties located in Nayarit, Mexico. The Company is a
"niche" player in Mexico which has assembled an attractive portfolio of
properties 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. Current production generates positive cash flow and
helps fund our ongoing exploration and development while minimizing share
dilution.
To date, we have identified 36 vein structures on our two projects and currently
we have embarked on an aggressive exploration program including a 7000m drill
program and 2000m drift development program that will determine the next steps
for mine development and production levels.
-3-
Rochester is well positioned to advance its projects and can very quickly become
a major player in Mexico. Rochester has a strong senior management team based in
Mexico, an experienced workforce in place, and the capital to implement the work
programs to advance our exploration and development projects towards production.
All assays quoted were carried out by the Durango, Mexico, facility of SGS
Laboratories, a ISO certified and independent laboratory. The exploration
program is under the direction of Hector Chavez, a Mexican professional
geologist who has extensive experience in Mexican epithermal deposits, and
supervised by Dr. Alfredo Parra, who is a QP as defined in NI 43-101.
