CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain inf ormation contained in this presentation, including any inf ormation relating to New Gold’s f uture f inancial or operating perf ormance as well as inf ormation respecting Rainy Riv er and its assets,

may be deemed “f orward looking”. All statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical f act that address ev ents or dev elopments that New Gold expects to occur, are “f orward-looking

statements”. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical f acts and are generally , but not alway s, identif ied by the use of f orward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects”, “is

expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “f orecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “projects”, “potential”, “believ es” or v ariations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, ev ents or

results “may ”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achiev ed” or the negativ e connotation . Without limiting the f oregoing, examples of f orward-looking inf ormation in this

presentation include, among others, statements with respect to: New Gold’s guidance f or production, cash costs, all -in sustaining costs, expenditures and cash f lows, modif ications to operations, the

timing of dev elopment decisions, the estimation of mineral reserv es and resources and the realization of mineral reserv es and resources, the timing and amount of estimated f uture production (including

mining and milling rates), the expected lif e of New Gold’s mines, expected f uture production costs (including cash costs) and the timing of completion of the acquisition of Rainy Riv er.

All such f orward-looking statements are based on the reasonable opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made and are subject to important risk f actors and

uncertainties, many of which are bey ond New Gold’s ability to control or predict. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions. In addition to assumptions specif ically

identif ied in this presentation, the key assumptions and estimates are discussed in New Gold’s most recent interim management discussion and analy sis and technical reports f iled at www.sedar.com.

The estimates and assumptions upon which the f orward-looking statements in this presentation are based are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other f actors that may

cause actual results, lev el of activ ity, perf ormance or achiev ements to be materially dif f erent from those expressed or implied by such f orward-looking statements. Such f actors include, without limitation:

signif icant capital requirements; price v olatility in the spot and f orward markets f or commodities; f luctuations in the international currency markets and in the rates of exchange of the currencies of Canada,

the United States, Australia, Mexico and Chile; impact of any hedging activ ities, including margin limits and margin calls; d iscrepancies between actual and estimated production, between actual and

estimated Reserv es and Resources and between actual and estimated metallurgical recov eries; changes in national and local gov ernment legislation in Canada, the United States, Australia, Mexico and

Chile or any other country in which New Gold currently or may in the f uture carry on business; taxation; controls, regulations and political or economic dev elopments in the countries in which New Gold

does or may carry on business; the speculativ e nature of mineral exploration and dev elopment, including the risks of obtaining and maintaining the v alidity and enf orceability of the necessary licences and

permits and comply ing with the permitting requirements of each jurisdiction in which New Gold operates, including, but not limited to: in Canada, obtaining the necessary permits f or Blackwater and the

Rainy Riv er Gold Project; in Mexico, where Cerro San Pedro has a history of ongoing legal challenges related to our env ironmental authorization (EIS); and in Chile, where the courts hav e temporarily

suspended the approv al of the env ironmental permit f or El Morro; the lack of certainty with respect to f oreign legal sy stems, which may not be immune f rom the inf luence of political pressure, corruption or

other f actors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; the uncertainties inherent to current and f uture legal challenges N ew Gold is or may become a party to; diminishing quantities or grades of Reserv es;

competition; loss of key employ ees; additional f unding requirements; rising costs of labour, supplies, f uel and equipment; actual results of current exploration or reclamation activ ities; uncertainties

inherent to mining economic studies including the PEA f or Blackwater and the Rainy Riv er Feasibility Study f or the Rainy River Gold Project; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be

ref ined; accidents; labour disputes; def ectiv e title to mineral claims or property or contests ov er claims to mineral properties; New Gold may be unable to successf ully complete the acquisition of all of the

securities of Rainy Riv er or the completion of such acquisition may be delay ed or more costly than anticipated; uncertainties with respect to the successf ul integration of the business of Rainy Riv er within

the business of New Gold; unexpected delay s and costs inherent to consulting and accommodating rights of First Nations; and uncertainties with respect to obtaining all necessary surf ace rights f or the

Rainy Riv er Project. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, dev elopment and mining, including env ironmental ev ents and hazards, industrial

accidents, unusual or unexpected f ormations, pressures, cav e-ins, f looding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance to cov er these risks) as well as

Key assumptions and sensitivities

• Diesel comprises ~25% of Mesquite’s total costs

• Rack diesel price most correlated to Brent oil price

• Budgeted diesel price in 2013 is 8% higher

than 2012 average price paid

• Every 10% change in diesel price has ~$20 per

ounce impact on costs

2012A versus 2013E

• Production expected to decline moderately due to the planned processing of ore from an area within the mine plan that is below

reserve grade

• Increase in costs attributable to higher cost

leach pad inventory working through sales and lower production base

1. Mesquite life-of-mine recovery continues to track at ~75% for oxides; ~35% for sulphides.

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 inclusive 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’).

3) Mineral resources are classif ied as Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources and are reported based on technical and economic parameters consistent w ith the methods most suitable for their potential commercial exploitation. Where different mining and/or processing methods might be applied to different portions of a mineral resource, the designators ‘open pit’ and ‘underground’ have been applied to indicate envisioned mining method. Likew ise the designators ‘oxide’, ‘non-oxide’ and ‘sulphide’ have been applied to indicate the type of mineralization as it relates to appropriate mineral processing method and expected payable metal recoveries. Additional details regarding mineral resource estimation, classif ication and reporting parameters for each of New Gold’s mineral properties are provided in the respective NI 43-101 Technical Reports w hich are available on SEDAR.

4) Blackw ater 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 silver. The March 2013 mineral resource estimate utilizes average metallurgical recoveries of 88.0% gold and 64.0% silver for oxide mineralization, 85.0% gold and 58.0% silver for transitional oxide/sulf ide mineralization and 85.0% gold and 44.0% silver for sulf ide mineralization. The 2012 year-end mineral resource estimate utilizes average metallurgical recoveries of 86% gold and 44.9% silver for all material types. 2. Total contained metal is calculated based on Tonnes*Grade / 31.10348 grams per troy ounce.3. Gold-equivalent cut-off grade estimates are based on $1,400/oz gold and $28.00/oz silver and average metal recoveries as described in Note 1 above.4. Direct processing material is defined as mineralization above a 0.40 g/t AuEq cut-off and likely to be mined and processed directly.5. Stockpile material is defined as mineralization betw een a 0.30 g/t AuEq and a 0.40 AuEq cut-off that is suitable for stockpiling and future processing based on average metallurgical recoveries as described in Note 1 above.

5) Qualif ied Person: The preparation of New Gold’s mineral reserve and resource statements has been done by Qualif ied Persons as defined under Canadian National Instrument 43-101 under the oversight and review of Mark Petersen, a Qualif ied Person under National Instrument 43-101 and employee of New Gold.

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 Minera l 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 contained in this presentation relating to the Rainy Riv er Gold Project has been rev iewed and approv ed by Garett Macdonald and Kerry Sparkes, both Qualif ied

Persons under NI 43-101 and of f icers of Rainy River. The other scientif ic and technical inf ormation contained in this presentation has been rev iewed and approv ed by Mark Petersen, a Qualif ied Person

under NI 43-101 and an 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 ironm ental, 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 news releases, 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. Mineral 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, roy 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 are 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. A reconciliation to the

nearest IFRS measure is prov ided in the MD&A accompany ing New Gold’s most recent interim f inancial statements.

ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS

Consistent with the recently announced guidance f rom the World Gold Council, an association of v arious gold mining companies f rom around the world of which New Gold is a member, New Gold def ines

“all-in sustaining costs” as the sum of mine site operating costs net of copper and silv er by -product sales, general & administrativ e costs, accretion and amortization, capitalized and expensed exploration,

mine dev elopment expenditures and sustaining capital expenditures. New Gold believ es this non-GAAP measure will prov ide f urther transparency into costs associated with producing gold. 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. A reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure will

be prov ided in the MD&A accompany ing New Gold’s most recent interim f inancial statements.
