WMQ 7.0.1 was officially GA 25th September 2009. It's subject to the IBM Software Support Lifecycle described here, or support until at least 25th September 2014 without further cost.
Note that's the earliest point IBM have undertaken to end support. They could continue support until 25th September 2024 if they want to.

does IBM will confirm if they are extending the support beyond 25th september 2014?
Usually IBM will publish EOS letter 1 year in advance right? |

Typically they announce end of life, not a lack of it.

If you actually read the link I posted you would have found this:
| Quote: |
| We’ll continue to give customers at least 12 months notice prior to an IBM branded product release’s EOS date and the availability of support extensions for an extra charge set by IBM. To make planning easier, we endeavor to coordinate most EOS dates to occur on 30 April or 30 September. |
