NEWS RELEASE FEBRUARY 12, 2008
ROCHESTER STAKES ADDITIONAL GROUND IN NAYARIT, MEXICO
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I): is pleased to announce that it has staked, and now holds a 100%
interest in an additional 13,164 hectares in Nayarit, Mexico. The El Cora
Property comprises 1,568 hectares contiguous to the northwest of the Santa Fe
Property (70% interest). Additionally, the Company has staked The El Cora II
claims (11,596 hectares) which are contiguous to the north and to the west of
both the Santa Fe and Mina Real Properties (100% interest). This brings
Rochester's total land package to over 24,000 hectares. (See Figure 1).
"The addition of these claims consolidates the entire land package that we feel
host the epithermal vein systems we are targeting. This area is highly
prospective for epithermal vein systems as we have identified 36 to date at both
our Mina Real and Santa Fe Projects. The exploration potential at our projects
remains significant and this staking of additional ground will ensure Rochester
retains control of the area," commented Dr. Parra.

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 a 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 36 vein structures on our two Projects (Mina Real and Santa
Fe) and recently embarked on an aggressive follow-up exploration program
-2-
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 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.
