News Release
ROCHESTER ANNOUNCES PROCESSING PLANT MODIFICATIONS
Vancouver, British Columbia – November 21, 2024: - Rochester Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Rochester”)
(TSXV: RCT) provides this update on work programs at the 100% owned Mina Real property.
Since 2007, the Mina Real processing plant has been treating mineralized material from the Estanzuela Unit, with
additional material from the San Francisco Unit since 2014. The plant employs a conventional cyanidation process,
including crushing, grinding, and chemical treatment.
The Company has conducted mining o perations without defined mineral resources and the production decision
was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves that has demonstrated technical or economic viability.
Historically, material from these two sources has contained high levels of manganese, which has negatively impacted
silver production. Over the past ten months, the Company has been actively evaluating potential plant modifications
to increase efficiency and silver production . Pilot testing has been conducted over the past four months and based
on results achieved the Company is now moving forward to implement the plant modifications.
The required plant modifications are projected to cost approximately USD $3 million. The implementation will occur
in stages, with an initial budget of USD $1 million. Initial funding for the project will be by debt, on terms to be
finalized, provided by Company Chairman and Director Eduardo Luna, alongside a company affiliated with
Rochester’s President, Nick DeMare.
