RCT Rochester Resources Ltd

Rochester Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: RCT)(FRANKFURT: R5I) is pleased to announce that the previously announced diamond drilling program at its Mina Real property continues to return positive results.

Five diamond drill holes have been completed on the Florida NW Vein.

Significant intersections are as follows:

Hole             From          To   Interval    Gold        Silver
                    m           m          m     g/t           g/t
FLNW01-10       45.61       46.19       0.78    1.78          18.0
FLNW02-10  No Significant Assay
FLNW03-10      110.60      111.60       1.00    0.96          33.0
FLNW04-10       48.33       49.09       0.76    0.80  less than 10
FLNW05-10   No Significant Assay

These are downhole intersections and true widths have yet to be determined.

The Florida NW Vein is located approximately 1,000 metres to the north of the Tajos Cuates, and trends north-northwest, roughly parallel to the structure which hosts the Tajos Cuates Vein.

The Mina Real Project is underlain by a complex of Tertiary-age felsic volcanic and tuffs cut by intrusions of similar composition. Alteration varies from narrow zones adjacent to mineralized veins, to broad zones of moderate to intense clay alteration. The broad zones of clay alteration have drill intersections of at least 50 metres.

The mineralized veins trend northwest to north-northwest, with local northeast-southwest trending offsets. These offset structure/veins locally carry gold and silver values. The northwest trending veins are found in shear zones, which vary in width from 2 or 3 metres to broad zones of shearing that represent regional shear zones.

The veins vary in width from a few centimetres to maximum widths of approximately 2 metres and are generally composed of quartz. Individual veins may be single quartz veins or multistage quartz veins, often brecciated and/or sheared. The contact with the wallrock typically is intensely sheared and broken.

"The Florida NW Vein is one of at least six northwest to north-northwest trending vein systems identified on the Mina Real project," states Eduardo Luna, President and CEO, "which confirms our belief that the Mina Real property covers multiple, well mineralized vein systems. The current diamond drill program is designed to evaluate the priority vein systems and to continually develop resources for the ongoing mining. We are pleased with the results to date and look forward to continued success with the drilling."

Additional drill results are being compiled and will be released as they become available.
