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. 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.
