NEWS RELEASE DECEMBER 11, 2007
ROCHESTER ORDERS ADDITIONAL BALL MILL TO
SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE MILL PRODUCTION
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I): Dr. Alfredo Parra, President and CEO, is pleased to announce
the Company has ordered a larger capacity 10 ft x 10 ft Allis Chalmers ball mill
as well as a Symons 4 1/4 standard secondary crusher to increase the throughput
tonnage to 300-350 tpd level for its milling facility. This new equipment is
scheduled to arrive on site in January 2008. Foundations for the mill and power
supply should be ready in February and the Company is expecting to have this
equipment operational by April 2008.
The addition of the ball mill and secondary crusher will significantly increase
our throughput tonnage by more than 33%. As previously reported September
processed tonnage through the mill averaged 199.5 tonnes per day. In October
processed tonnage through the mill averaged 198.0 tonnes per day. Regular
monthly shipments of gold and silver precipitate have surpassed the $1-million
(U.S.) mark for the first time and continue to show increases in production
value on a month-to-month basis. We anticipate in April, 2008 to be operating at
a significant increase in daily throughput while at the same time feeding higher
grade ore through the system with silver recoveries increasing from today's
40%-50% to approximately 85%-90%. Based on current spot market prices,
implementing these upgrades simultaneously should increase our monthly cash
flows significantly.
ABOUT ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD.:
Rochester represents a pure-play in 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 the majority of Mexico's large
tonnage gold and silver deposits. Current production generates growing cash flow
and helps fund our ongoing exploration and development with minimum share
dilution (http://www.rochesterresourcesltd.com/s/ShareStructure.asp).
We have identified 37 vein structures (http://www.ccnmatthews.com/ docs/
vein_structures.jpg) on our two Projects (Mina Real and Santa Fe) and recently
embarked on an aggressive follow-up exploration program including a 7000m drill
program and a 2000m drift development program that will determine the next steps
for mine development and production levels. Little follow-up work has been
completed to date on the vein structures identified across both Projects.

(http://www.rochesterresourcesltd.com/s/Management.asp) based in Mexico, a

strong financial backing to implement and advance our work programs.
