CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information contained in this presentation, including any information relating to New Gold’s future financial or operating performance as well as information respecting
Rainy River and its assets may be deemed “forward looking”. All statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, that address events or developments that
New Gold expects to occur are “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not alw ays, identified
by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “antic ipates”, “projects”, “potential”,
“believes” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “w ill be taken”, “occur” or “be
achieved” or the negativ e connotation. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, among others, statements with respect to: guidance for production, cash costs
and all-in sustaining costs (and its components); the potential difference between gold price and cash and all-in sustaining costs, including relative to other companies; potential
modifications to operations (and the cost of any such modifications) and potential opportunities to increase throughput at New Afton exploration potential and the results of future
exploration activities; expected future mining activities; the expected or potential annual production, expected cash costs and expected development cost of New Gold’s projects;
the estimation of mineral reserves and resources and the realization of such estimates; the expected life of New Gold’s mines and projects; the timing of completion of feasibility
studies or updates, reserve updates and other technical w ork or reports; the adequacy of capital resources; and expected capital expenditures and exploration expenditures.
All forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made and are subject to
important risk factors and uncertainties, many of which are beyond New Gold’s ability to control or predict. Material assumptions regarding our forward looking statements are
discussed in this presentation, the annual MD&A, the AIF and our Technical Reports. Forw ard-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are
inherently subject to known and unknow n ris ks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, without limitation: significant capital requirements; price volatility in the spot
and forward markets for commodities; fluctuations in the international currency markets and in the rates of exchange of the currencies of Canada, the United States, Australia,
Mexico and Chile; discrepancies betw een actual and estimated production, between actual and estimated reserves and resources and between actual and estimated
metallurgical recoveries; changes in national and local government legislation in Canada, the United States, Australia, Mexico and Chile or any other country in w hic h New Gold
currently or may in the future carry on business; taxation; controls , regulations and political or economic developments in the countries in w hich New Gold does or may carry on
business; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining and maintaining the validity and enforceability of the necessary licenses
and permits and complying w ith the permitting requirements of each juris diction in which New Gold operates, including, but not limited to: in Canada, obtaining the necessary
permits for Blackwater and the Rainy River Gold Project; in Mexico, w here Cerro San Pedro has a history of ongoing legal challenges related to our environmental authorization
(EIS); and in Chile, w here the courts had temporarily suspended the approval of the environmental permit for El Morro; the lack of certainty w ith respect to foreign legal systems,
whic h may not be immune from the influence of political pressure, corruption or other factors that are inconsis tent with the rule of law; the uncertainties inherent to current and
future legal challenges New Gold is or may become a party to; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves and resources; competition; loss of key employees; additional funding
requirements; rising costs of labour, supplies, fuel and equipment; actual results of current exploration or reclamation activities; uncertainties inherent to mining economic studies
including the PEA for Blackwater and the Feasibility Study for the Rainy River Gold Project; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; accidents; labour
disputes; defective title to mineral claims or property or contests over claims to mineral properties; uncertainties w ith respect to the successful integration of the business of Rainy
River w ithin the business of New Gold; unexpected delays and costs inherent to consulting and accommodating rights of First Nations; and uncertainties w ith respect to obtaining
all necessary surface rights for the Rainy River Project. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated w ith the business of mineral exploration, development and mining,
including environmental events and hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of
inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance to cover these ris ks) as well as “Risk Factors” included in New Gold’s (and, in respect to information related to the Rainy
River Gold Project, in Rainy River’s) disclosure documents filed on and available at www.sedar.com. Forw ard-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and
actual results and future events could materially differ from those anticipated in such statements. All of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are qualified
by these cautionary statements. New Gold expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, events or otherw ise, except in accordance with applicable securities law s.

• Mill was able to process higher throughput,
however a commensurate decrease in
recovery was seen
• Currently evaluating low capital cost
alternatives to process at higher rate and
bring recoveries into the high 80’s/low 90’s
• Potential to include:
• Addition of a tower mill for tertiary
grinding
• Additional rougher flotation capacity at
front end of the flotation circuit
• Additional cleaner capacity

Reserves and resources notes
Mineral reserves are contained w ithin Measured and Indicated mineral resources. Measured and Indicated mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability as defined by a technical Feasibility Study. New Gold reports its Measured and Indicated mineral resources inclusiv e of its mineral reserves. Inferred mineral resources are not know n
w ith the same degree of certainty as Measured and Indicated resources, do not have demonstrated economic viability, and are exclusive of mineral reserves. Mineral reserves have been
estimated and reported in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (‘CIM’) definition standards and guidelines and Canadian National Instrument 43-101
(‘NI 43-101’).

Mineral resources have been estimated and reported in accordance with CIM definition standards and guidelines and Canadian NI 43-101.
3) Mineral resources are classif ied as Measured, Indicated and Inf erred resources and are reported based on technical and economic parameters consistent with the methods most suitable f or their potential commercial
exploitation. Where dif f erent mining and/or processing methods might be applied to dif f erent portions of a mineral resource, the designators ‘open pit’ and ‘underground’ hav e been applied to indicate env isioned mining
method. Likewise the designators ‘oxide’, ‘non-oxide’ and ‘sulphide’ hav e been applied to indicate the ty pe of mineralization as it relates to appropriate mineral processing method and expect ed pay able metal recov eries.
Additional details regarding mineral resource estimation, classif ication and reporting parameters f or each of New Gold’s mineral properties are prov ided in the respectiv e NI 43-101 Technical Reports which are av ailable
on SEDAR.
4) Blackwater April 4, 2013 update:
1. Mineral resources are reported within a conceptual open pit shell based on metal prices of $1,400/oz gold and $28.00/oz silv er. The March 2013 mineral resource estimate utilizes av erage metallurgical recov eries of
88.0% gold and 64.0% silv er f or oxide mineralization, 85.0% gold and 58.0% silv er f or transitional oxide/sulf ide mineralization and 85.0% gold and 44.0% silv er f or sulf ide mineralization. The 2012 y ear-end mineral
resource estimate utilizes av erage metallurgical recov eries of 86% gold and 44.9% silv er f or all material ty pes.
2. Total contained metal is calculated based on Tonnes*Grade / 31.10348 grams per troy ounce.
3. Gold-equiv alent cut-of f grade estimates are based on $1,400/oz gold and $28.00/oz silv er and av erage metal recov eries as described in Note 1 abov e.
4. Direct processing material is def ined as mineralization abov e a 0.40 g/t AuEq cut-of f and likely to be mined and processed directly .
5. Stockpile material is def ined as mineralization between a 0.30 g/t AuEq and a 0.40 AuEq cut-of f that is suitable f or stockpiling and f uture processing based on av erage metallurgical recov eries as described in Note 1

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. READERS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES
Inf ormation concerning the properties and operations of New Gold has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards under applicable Canadian securities laws, and may not be comparable to
similar inf ormation f or United States companies. The terms “Mineral Resource”, “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inf erred Mineral Resource” used in this presentation are
Canadian mining terms as def ined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) under guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Standards
on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserv es adopted by the CIM Council on Nov ember 27, 2010. While the terms “Mineral Resource” , “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and
“Inf erred Mineral Resource” are recognized and required by Canadian securities regulations, they are not def ined terms under standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Under
United States standards, mineralization may not be classif ied as a “Reserv e” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at
the time the Reserv e calculation is made. As such, certain inf ormation contained in this presentation concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards is not comparable
to similar inf ormation made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Uni ted States Securities and Exchange Commission. An “Inf erred Mineral
Resource” has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal f easibility . It cannot be as sumed that all or any part of an “Inf erred Mineral Resource” will ev er be
upgraded to a higher category . Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inf erred Mineral Resources may not f orm the basis of f easibility or pre-f easibility studies. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all
or any part of Measured or Indicated Resources will ev er be conv erted into Mineral Reserv es. Readers are also cautioned not t o assume that all or any part of an “Inf erred Mineral Resource” exists, or is
economically or legally mineable. In addition, the def initions of “Prov en Mineral Reserv es” and “Probable Mineral Reserv es” under CIM standards dif f er in certain respects f rom the standards of the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The scientif ic and technical inf ormation in this presentation has been rev iewed and approv ed by Mark Petersen, a Qualif ied Person under National Instrument 43-101 and of f icer of New Gold.
Mineral Reserv es and Mineral Resources
The estimates of Mineral Reserv es and Mineral Resources discussed in this presentation may be materially af f ected by env ironmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing and other
relev ant issues. In addition to our February 5, 2013, April 4, 2013 and July 31, 2013 presentations, f urther details regarding Mineral Reserv e and Resource estimates, including classif ications, key
assumptions and parameters used in such estimates and other related inf ormation f or each of New Gold's mineral properties are prov ided in the respectiv e NI 43-101 Technical Reports, which are
av ailable at www.sedar.com.
Blackwater PEA – Additional Cautionary Note
This note regarding the preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) is in addition to cautionary language already included in this presentation as required under NI 43-101. The Blackwater PEA is
preliminary in nature and includes Inf erred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculativ e geologically to hav e the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them t o be
categorized as mineral reserv es, and there is no certainty that the PEA based on these mineral resources will be realized. Mi neral resources that are not mineral reserv es do not hav e demonstrated
economic v iability . This presentation includes inf ormation on New Gold’s PEA with respect to the Blackwater Project, which was outlined in the PEA Technical Report f iled on October 10, 2012. As
disclosed in the presentation, New Gold has, since the date of the PEA, completed sev eral non-material updates of the mineral resource estimate f or the Blackwater Project. Although the PEA represents
usef ul, accurate and reliable inf ormation based on the inf ormation av ailable at the time of its publication, and prov ides an important indicator as to the economic potential of the Blackwater Project, the
PEA is based on mineral resources estimates with an ef f ective date of July 27, 2012, which do not ref lect drilling conducted since their ef f ective date, and the PEA does not ref lect the latest mineral
resource estimate discussed in subsequent presentation. Certain assumptions used in the PEA, some of which relate to the July 27, 2012 mineral resource estimate, may hav e changed f rom those used
f or the new resource estimate, causing a v ariation of parameters. Moreov er, the updated mineral resource estimate may impact how New Gold intends to dev elop the deposit, including pit outlines,
production rates and mine lif e.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
TOTAL CASH COSTS
“Total cash costs” per ounce f igures are non-GAAP measures which are calculated in accordance with a standard dev eloped by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold
and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the s tandard is widely accepted as the standard of reporting cash costs of
production in North America. Adoption of the standard is v oluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. New Gold reports total
cash costs on a sales basis. Total cash costs include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, r oy alties and production taxes, but are exclusiv e of amortization, reclamation,
capital and exploration costs. Total cash costs are reduced by any by -product rev enue and is then div ided by ounces sold to arriv e at the total by -product cash cost of sales. The measure, along with
sales, is considered to be a key indicator of a company ’s ability to generate operating earnings and cash f low f rom its mining operations. This data is f urnished to prov ide additional inf ormation and is a
non-IFRS measure. Total cash costs presented do not hav e a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be
considered in isolation as a substitute f or measures of perf ormance prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicativ e of operating costs presented under IFRS. Further details regarding
this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure is prov ided in the MD&A accompany ing the quarterly f inancial statements.
ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS
Consistent with the guidance announced earlier in 2013 f rom the World Gold Council, an association of v arious gold mining com panies f rom around the world of which New Gold is a member, New Gold
def ines “all-in sustaining costs” as the sum of total cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate general & administrativ e costs, capitalized and expensed exploration that is sustaining in nature
and env ironmental reclamation costs. New Gold believ es this non-GAAP measure prov ides f urther transparency into costs associated with producing gold and will assist analy sts, inv estors and other
stakeholders of the company in assessing its operating perf ormance, its ability to generate f ree cash f low f rom current operations and its ov erall v alue. All-in sustaining costs constitute a non-GAAP
measure and are intended to prov ide additional inf ormation only and do not hav e any standardized meaning under IFRS. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute f or measures of
perf ormance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures dif f erently . Further details regarding this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure is
prov ided in the MD&A accompany ing the quarterly f inancial statements .
ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS
“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted net earnings per share” are non-GAAP f inancial measures. Net earnings hav e been adjusted and tax af f ected for the group of costs in “Other gains and losses” on
the condensed consolidated income statement. The adjusted entries are also impacted f or tax to the extent that the underly ing entries are impacted f or tax in the unadjusted net earnings f rom continuing
operations. The company uses this measure f or its own internal purposes and believ es the presentation of adjusted net earning s enables inv estors and analy sts to better understand the underly ing
operating perf ormance of our core mining business through the ey es of management. Management periodically ev aluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of
perf ormance measures that are usef ul f or ev aluating the operating perf ormance of our business and a rev iew of the non-GAAP measures used by mining industry analy sts and other mining companies.
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are intended to prov ide additional inf ormation only and do not hav e any standardized meaning under IFRS. They should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute f or measures of perf ormance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures are not necessarily indicativ e of operating prof it or cash f low f rom operations as determined
under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures dif f erently. Further details regarding this measure and a reconcilia tion to the nearest IFRS measure is prov ided in the MD&A accompany ing
the quarterly f inancial statements.
ADJUSTED NET CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS
“Adjusted net cash generated f rom operations” is a non-GAAP f inancial measure. Net cash generated f rom operations has been adjus ted f or one-time expenses related to the company ’s acquisition of
Rainy Riv er in the third quarter and a one-time charge incurred in the second quarter related to the settlement of the company ’s legacy gold hedge position. The company believ es the presentation of
adjusted net cash generated f rom operations enables inv estors and analy sts to better understand the underly ing operating perf ormance of our core mining business. Adjusted net cash generated f rom
operations is intended to prov ide additional inf ormation only and does not hav e any standardized meaning under IFRS. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute f or measures of
perf ormance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details regarding this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure is prov ided in the MD&A accompany ing the quarterly f inancial
