NEWS RELEASE OCTOBER 20, 2008
ROCHESTER PROVIDES UPDATED NI-43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT ON
MINA REAL PROPERTY, NAYARIT, MEXICO
VANCOUVER, CANADA - ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: RCT; OTCBB: RCTFF AND
FRANKFURT: R5I) is pleased to announce that an updated technical report has been
prepared on the Mina Real Property in Nayarit, Mexico dated Sept. 30, 2008 by
Victor A. Jaramillo, M.Sc. (A), and P.Geo. of Discover Geological Consultants
Inc. Mr. Jaramillo on his most recent visit to the Mina Real Project was able to
review geological work completed to date, such as drill data, examine drill
core, underground geological information, geochemical data and maps of the
property.

SIGNIFICANT HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE REPORT INCLUDE:
A geological potential has been estimated for the Florida-4 vein system taking
into consideration parameters that are discussed in the report. This potential
is provided in ranges as required by NI 43-101 reporting standards.
For the lower end range = 225m depth x 2,000m length x 0.50m wide x 2.5 s.g. =
562,500 TONNES with grades of 4.0 g/t gold and 60 g/t silver
For the upper end range = 450m depth x 2,000m length x 1.0m wide x 2.5 s.g. =
2,250,000 TONNES with grades of 8 g/t gold and 100 g/t silver
The range provided includes the following assumptions:
1. A very well mineralized mining horizon that ranges from 1350m to 900m
elevation;
2. A vein width ranging between 0.5m and 1.5m(we will use 1.0m for upper
range);
3. A 2.0 kilometre strike length as defined from surface outcrop;
4. A specific gravity of 2.5
The above geological potential is for ONE vein only. The Mina Real Property
comprises approximately 20 veins that have been identified to date (see figure
1). The writer believes the geological potential to be considerable.
Cautionary statement: Investors are cautioned that the potential quantity
indicated above is conceptual in nature. At this time, there has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource below the current inferred
resources, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the
discovery of these mineral resources.

Previous news that was released dated July 24, 2008 reported grades from surface
trenching at Florida 4. The results indicate similar surface results to what was
encountered on surface and above the zone of favourable mineralization at
Florida 3. Some of the results previously reported from this trenching program
include:

The author noted that at the Mina Real Project, the presence of high grade
gold-silver quartz-adularia veins and stockwork veinlets in the country rocks
bears many geological similarities to Sleeper, Nevada; McLaughlin, California;
Hishikari, Japan and Golden Cross and Martha Hill, New Zealand, all of which
were or are significant gold producers.

ABOUT ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD.:
Rochester s a junior gold/silver producer engaged in the production and the
continued exploration and development of its Mina Real and Santa Fe Properties
located in the State of Nayarit, Mexico. Nayarit is located in the Sierra Madre
Occidental range, the most productive epithermal precious metal region in the
world, which hosts the majority of Mexico's gold and silver deposits. The
Company substantially completed the construction of a cyanidation processing
plant at the end of December 2006. Initial milling operations commenced in
January 2007 with the commissioning process being completed by May 31, 2007. The
Company has, in a very compressed time frame, acquired, developed and brought
into production a gold property in Mexico. The Company now has an operating mill
which is generating cash flow from operations. The Company is also implementing
an exploration and development program utilizing funds raised in the capital
markets and cash flow from operations to define resources to support future
mining and production.
