NEWS RELEASE JANUARY 30, 2007
ROCHESTER DISCOVERS MULTIPLE VEINS AT TWO NEW PROSPECTIVE AREAS:
SAMPLES 2.8M OF 4.28 G/T GOLD AND 1405 G/T SILVER
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I): Dr. Alfredo Parra , President, is pleased to report on two new
prospective areas at the Santa Fe Project, in addition to the Clavellinos Area,
where diamond drilling is currently in progress. The regional exploration
program has identified two new prospective areas, the Samuel and San Jose Areas.
A total of 10 new vein systems have been identified at the Samuel and San Jose
Areas. At the Samuel Area 5 veins have been sampled and assayed. Highlight
results from the five vein systems at the Samuel Area include:
Samuel Vein: 1.6 m @ 0.51 Au g/t and 956 Ag g/t;
Marquesote-Catarino Vein: 2.8 m @ 4.28 Au g/t and 1405 Ag g/t;
La Paloma Vein: 0.85 m @ 0.3 Au g/t and 348 Ag g/t;
El Zopilote Vein: 0.6 m @ 0.28 Au g/t and 1030 g/t;
Guajolote Vein: 1.60 m @ 208 Ag g/t.
The Samuel Area comprises at this early stage of exploration 5 epithermal veins
and is located adjacent and to the east of the Clavellinos Area. Four veins have
been emplaced parallel to one another trending NW-SE and all, from west to east,
within 500 metres of one another. The fifth vein trends nearly N-S and is
located in the northeastern section of the area approximately 500 metres away
from the nearest vein system, Marquesote-Catarino. All the vein systems at the
Samuel area have identified historic workings, this being a good indicator for a
mineralized vein system. Until the Company began a systematic and detailed
exploration program at Santa Fe to assess its potential there had been no modern
exploration techniques applied to this project.
A total of 1.7 kilometres of epithermal vein strike length traced from outcrops
and historic mine workings has been identified at the Samuel area. The area
where these veins are located is vegetated with very little outcrop. The Company
is early in their exploration efforts and expects to significantly increase
their understanding of the extent of these mineralized vein systems. The
Company's view is that this area is highly prospective and is a high priority
for exploration follow-up in the near term. A short description of the veins is
as follows:
-2-
VEIN SYSTEM STRIKE LENGTH WIDTHS DESCRIPTION
La Paloma 100 metres 1.20m Central: Outcrop restricted,
hidden by cover - historic
mine with 1.2 metre wide
quartz vein
Samuel 600 metres 0.70m - 3.0m Trending 300 metres along vein
historic stopes and adits
occur; in addition, parallel
and detachment veins are
present; quartz veins &
faulting material conforms
with the stopes - variable
widths ranging from 0.7 metres
to 3.0 metres.
El Zopilote 150 metres 1.0m Outcrop restricted, hidden by
cover - historic mine with 1.0
metre wide quartz vein.
Marq.-Cat. 550 metres 1.0m - 1.5m North: restricted outcrops but
an old stope (Catarino 5 Mine)
occurs, quartz veining 1.0
metre to 1.5 m wide; Ag Values
sampled 284 g/t and Au 2.6 g/t
Central: Covered
South: several Old Mines
(Marquesote), quartz veining
1.0 metre to 1.2 metre wide;
Ag Values sampled 184 g/t and
Au 1.1 g/t
Guajolote 300 metres 0.75m Central area: Outcrop
restricted, hidden by cover -
Historic mine workings with
0.75 metre wide mineralized
quartz vein.
The second area identified is the San Jose Area at the Santa Fe Project. The San
Jose Area comprises 5 vein systems and is identified as San Jose vein systems
#1-5. The San Jose Area is currently a reconnaissance project where the company
is following up on previous work completed by past companies. No assay results
have been published to date. All the veins have been traced at surface with
strike lengths close to one kilometer with several veins striking greater than
one kilometer. There is more than five kilometers of strike length noted at the
San Jose area. This area will be aggressively explored over the coming months
with assay results to follow. The San Jose Area is located adjacent and to the
west of the Clavellinos Area at the Santa Fe Project.
All assays quoted were carried out by the Durango, Mexico, facility of SGS
Laboratories, an 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.

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
We have identified 37 vein structures 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.
Rochester is well positioned to advance its Projects and can very quickly become
a significant player in Mexico. Rochester has a strong senior management team
based in Mexico, a workforce in place to advance its projects through to mine
development, and strong financial backing to implement and advance our work
programs.
