NEWS RELEASE FEBRUARY 26, 2008
ROCHESTER RECEIVES 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, announces that the larger
capacity 10ft x 10ft Allis Chalmers ball mill and a Symons 4 1/4 standard
secondary crusher has arrived aT the Mina Real mill site in Nayarit, Mexico.
The Company's plans are to utilize this equipment to increase production
capacity to the 300 tpd level. This is the most efficient operating capacity
given the current mine production levels.
Once installed and operational the ball mill and crusher will increase the
throughput tonnage to 300 tpd level for its milling facility, a 50% increase
from current capacity. Foundations for the ball mill and power supply are under
construction and anticipated to be completed shortly. The Company is expecting
to have the new equipment installed and operational by end of second quarter of
2008. The existing ball mills will be held as back up to be used during periods
of maintenance and can also be used to augment production levels from 300 tpd
per day up-to 500 tpd if and when the Company determines to increase throughput
production.
Production at the 300tpd level will be the most efficient production level while
the company continues with its mine development programs.
The Company anticipates by the middle of 2008 to be operating at a significant
increase in daily throughput while concurrently processing higher grade ore
along with improved silver recovery rates. This will coincide with the
processing of the silver-rich ore from the Tajos Cuates mine, the Company's
second mine.
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 36 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
-2-
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.
