NEWS RELEASE JUNE 10, 2008
ROCHESTER DISCOVERS RICHEST VEIN TO DATE AT FLORIDA NW, MINA REAL PROJECT
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND FSE:
R5I) is pleased to announce the discovery of four new veins on the Florida NW
portion of the Mina Real Project in Nayarit, Mexico. The most significant new
vein, La Vibora, trends perpendicular to the Florida 4 vein system with a
reported true width on Trench 2 of 1.9 metres grading 35.26 g/t Au and 297.63
g/t Ag including 0.70 metres grading 93.1 g/t gold and 500 g/t silver.
Results from the other trenches include:
o Trench 1: 2.5m grading 18.52 g/t Au and 170 g/t Ag
o Trench 3: 1.9m grading 4.23 g/t Au and 122.16 g/t Ag
o Trench 4: 1.8m grading 6.78 g/t Au and 104.22 g/t Ag
The La Vibora Vein has been traced on surface for 200 metres; further
delineation of its length has been limited due to substantial volcanic ash
cover. A series of four trenches have been completed to date, with all
encountering strong mineralization. The four trenches have an average vein width
of 2.08 m and grades averaging 16.5 g/t gold and 174 g/t silver. (see figure 1,
2 and table 1)
La Vibora is in a topographic location conducive for development of multiple
drifts at different levels due to the surface exposure of the vein being located
along steep terrain. This will assist the mine development plans for the
scheduled 50% upgrade in mill production this summer.
Additionally, three other veins have been discovered and of significance is the
Vuiruco Vein, a vein parallel to La Vibora and perpendicular with Florida 4,
where the width of the vein intersected is reported at 5.9 metres. The average
width at the Florida Mine is 1.3 metres. Additional follow up to these results
is ongoing.
While the initial development at Florida NW was delayed due to finalizing of
surface access agreements the work is now progressing at a rapid rate with
positive results from the ongoing work programs. Exploration started in this
area less than three months ago; since then, 13 new vein systems have already
been discovered with most being mineralized. This has added substantially to the
potential of the Mina Real project; exploration is ongoing and the company
expects to expand further on this recent success.
Dr. Parra states "The number of new veins discovered in the past three months at
Florida NW is substantial and in line with our expectations of the overall
potential for the area. We are very pleased with these recent discoveries.

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 45 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.
