4. Cautionary statements
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 are “forward looking”. All statements in this
presentation, other than statements of historical fact, which address events, results, outcomes 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 always, identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects”,
“is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “targeted”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “projects”, “potential”, “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or statements
that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” or the negative connotation of such terms. Forward-looking
statements in this presentation include, among others, statements with respect to: guidance for production, total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs, and the factors contributing to
those expected results, as well as expected capital and other expenditures; grades expected to be mined at the Company’s operations; planned activities for 2016 and beyond at the
Company’s operations and projects, as well as planned exploration activities and expenses; the expected production, costs, economics and operating parameters of the Rainy River
project and the New Afton C-zone; targeting timing for development, first production and other activities related to the Rainy River project; plans to advance the New Afton C-zone project;
expected production, costs and timing for the Blackwater project; and statements with respect to the payment of the remaining $75 million from Royal Gold.
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. Certain material assumptions regarding such forward-looking statements are discussed in this
presentation, New Gold’s annual and quarterly management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”), its Annual Information Form and its Technical Reports filed at www.sedar.com. In
addition to, and subject to, such assumptions discussed in more detail elsewhere, the forward-looking statements in this presentation are also subject to the following assumptions: (1)
there being no significant disruptions affecting New Gold’s operations; (2) political and legal developments in jurisdictions where New Gold operates, or may in the future operate, being
consistent with New Gold’s current expectations; (3) the accuracy of New Gold’s current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; (4) the exchange rate between the Canadian
dollar, Australian dollar, Mexican peso and U.S. dollar being approximately consistent with current levels; (5) prices for diesel, natural gas, fuel oil, electricity and other key supplies being
approximately consistent with current levels; (6) equipment, labour and materials costs increasing on a basis consistent with New Gold’s current expectations; (7) arrangements with First
Nations and other Aboriginal groups in respect of the Rainy River and Blackwater projects being consistent with New Gold’s current expectations; (8) all required permits, licenses and
authorizations being obtained from the relevant governments and other relevant stakeholders within the expected timelines; (9) the results of the feasibility studies for the Rainy River,
New Afton C-zone and Blackwater projects being realized; (10) in the case of production, cost and expenditure outlooks at operating mines for 2016 and 2017, commodity prices and
exchange rates being consistent with those estimated for the purposes for 2016 guidance; and (11) conditions to the payment of the remaining $75 million from Royal Gold being satisfied
mid-2016.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, 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 and the availability and management of capital resources; additional funding requirements; price volatility in the spot and forward markets for
metals and other commodities; fluctuations in the international currency markets and in the rates of exchange of the currencies of Canada, the United States, Australia and Mexico;
discrepancies between actual and estimated production, between actual and estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources and between actual and estimated metallurgical
recoveries; changes in national and local government legislation in Canada, the United States, Australia and Mexico or any other country in which New Gold currently or may in the future
carry on business; taxation; controls, regulations and political or economic developments in the countries in which 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 with the
permitting requirements of each jurisdiction in which New Gold operates, including, but not limited to: in Canada, obtaining the necessary permits for the Rainy River, New Afton C-zone
and Blackwater projects; and in Mexico, where Cerro San Pedro has a history of ongoing legal challenges related to our environmental authorization; the lack of certainty with respect to
foreign legal systems, which may not be immune from the influence of political pressure, corruption or other factors that are inconsistent 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 mineral reserves and mineral resources; competition; loss of key
employees; rising costs of labour, supplies, fuel and equipment; actual results of current exploration or reclamation activities; uncertainties inherent to mining economic studies including
the feasibility studies for Rainy River, New Afton C-zone and Blackwater; the uncertainty with respect to prevailing market conditions necessary for a positive development decision at
Blackwater; 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; unexpected delays and costs inherent to consulting and accommodating rights of First Nations and other Aboriginal groups; risks, uncertainties and unanticipated delays
associated with obtaining and maintaining necessary licenses, permits and authorizations and complying with permitting requirements, including those associated with the environmental
assessment process for Blackwater. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with 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 risks) as well as “Risk Factors” included in New Gold’s disclosure documents filed on and available at www.sedar.com.
Forward-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 otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The footnotes, endnotes and appendices to this presentation contain important information. The endnotes and appendices are found at the end of the presentation.

costs for mining specific inputs have generally
come in at, or below, budget
• Initial mine fleet on budget
• Process equipment on budget
• Steel supply and installation under budget
• Supply and installation of leach tanks under
budget
• Where input cost pressures have arisen it has
primarily been on items linked to the continued
activity in the broader Ontario construction market
including
• Concrete supply and installation
• Installation of Mechanical, Piping, Electrical and
Instrumentation
• In addition, plant site earthworks, water
management and construction of the tailings
facility have required more materials/man hours
than budgeted

El Morro Property Mineral Reserves & Resources as at December 31, 2015
(Goldcorp 50% - Teck 50% Joint Venture)
The table below sets out the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates, on a 100% basis, for the El Morro project, as well as New Gold’s 4%
stream interest. The El Morro project, together with the Relincho project in Chile, is now held by a 50/50 joint venture between Goldcorp and Teck
Resources Limited. The following information is based on information available to the Company as of February 17, 2016.

91. 1. New Gold’s Mineral Reserves and the El Morro Mineral Reserves and Resources have been estimated in accordance with the Canadian Institute
of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, which are incorporated by reference
in National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”).
2. Year-end 2015 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources have been estimated based on the following metal prices and foreign exchange rate
criteria:
Lower cut-offs for the company’s Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are outlined in the following table:

92. 3. Year-End 2015 El Morro Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources have been estimated using $1,200/oz gold, US$2.75/lb copper, and 550
Chilean Pesos to one United States dollar, and a lower cut-off of 0.20% CuEq.
4. New Gold reports its Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources
that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred Mineral Resources have a greater amount of uncertainty as
to their existence, economic and legal feasibility, do not have demonstrated economic viability, and are likewise exclusive of Mineral Reserves.

5. Mineral resources are classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred based on relative levels of confidence in their estimation and on technical
and economic parameters consistent with 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. Likewise the designators ‘oxide’, ‘non-oxide’ and ‘sulphide’ have been applied to indicate the type of
mineralization as it relates to the appropriate mineral processing method and expected payable metal recoveries, and the designators ‘direct
processing’ and stockpile’ have been applied to differentiate between material envisioned to be mined and processed directly and material to be
mined and stored in a stockpile for future processing. Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental,
permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing and other risks and relevant issues. Additional details regarding Mineral Reserve and
Mineral Resource estimation, classification, reporting parameters, key assumptions and associated risks for each of New Gold’s material
properties are provided in the respective NI 43-101 Technical Reports which are available at www.sedar.com.
6. Rainy River Project: In addition to the criteria described above, Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources for the Rainy River project are
reported according to the following additional criteria: Underground mineral reserves are reported peripheral to and/or below the open pit mineral
reserve pit shell which has been designed and optimized based on an $800/oz gold price. Underground Mineral Resources are reported below a
larger mineral resource pit shell which has been defined based on a $1300/oz gold price. Approximately 44% of the gold metal content defined as
underground mineral reserves derives from material located between the mineral reserve pit shell and the mineral resource pit shell; the
remaining 56% of mineral reserves derives from material located below the mineral resource pit shell. Open pit mineral resources exclude
material reported as underground mineral reserves.
7. All Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates for New Gold’s properties and projects are effective December 31, 2015.
8. Qualified Person: The preparation of New Gold's Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates has been done by Qualified Persons as
defined under NI 43-101, under the oversight and review of Mr. Mark A. Petersen, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. READERS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES
Information 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 information for United States companies. The terms “Mineral Resource”, “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource”
used in this presentation are Canadian mining terms as defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral
Reserves adopted by CIM Council on May 10, 2014 and incorporated by reference in National Instrument 43-101. While the terms “Mineral Resource”, “Measured Mineral Resource”,
“Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” are recognized and required by Canadian securities regulations, they are not defined terms under standards of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission. As such, certain information contained in this presentation concerning descriptions of mineralization and mineral resources under Canadian standards
is not comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.
An “Inferred Mineral Resource” has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources
may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher confidence category.
Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource” exists or is economically or legally mineable.
Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “Reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally
produced or extracted at the time the reserve estimation is made. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be
converted into mineral reserves. In addition, the definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” under CIM standards differ in certain respects from the standards of
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The scientific and technical information in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Mark A. Petersen, Vice President, Exploration of New Gold. Mr. Petersen is an AIPG Certified
Professional Geologist and a “Qualified Person” as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
For additional technical information on New Gold’s material properties, including a detailed breakdown of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources by category, as well as key assumptions,

NON-GAAP MEASURES
(1) NET CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS BEFORE CHANGES IN WORKING CAPITAL
“Net cash generated from operations before changes in working capital” and “Net cash generated from operations before changes in working capital per share” are non-GAAP financial
measures with no standard meaning under IFRS, which exclude changes in non-cash operating working capital. Management uses this measure to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate
cash from its operations before temporary working capital changes.
(2) ADJUSTED NET (LOSS)/EARNINGS
“Adjusted net (loss)/earnings” and “adjusted net (loss)/earnings per share” are non-GAAP financial measures. Net (loss)/earnings have been adjusted and tax affected for the group of costs in
“Other gains and losses” on the condensed consolidated income statement. The adjusted entries are also impacted for tax to the extent that the underlying entries are impacted for tax in the
unadjusted net (loss)/earnings from continuing operations. The company uses this measure for its own internal purposes. Management’s internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance
do not reflect fair value changes on senior notes and non-hedged derivatives, foreign currency translation and fair value through profit or loss and financial asset gains/losses. Consequently,
the presentation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share enables investors and analysts to better understand the underlying operating performance of our core mining
business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share based on an internal
assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business and a review of the non-GAAP measures used by mining industry analysts and
other mining companies. Adjusted net (loss)/earnings and adjusted net (loss)/earnings per share are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning
under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance
prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operations as determined under IFRS.
(3) ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS
Consistent with guidance announced in 2013 by the World Gold Council, an association of various gold mining companies from around the world of which New Gold is a member, New Gold
defines “all-in sustaining costs” per ounce as the sum of total cash costs, capital expenditures that are sustaining in nature, corporate general and administrative costs, capitalized and
expensed exploration that is sustaining in nature and environmental reclamation costs, all divided by the ounces of gold sold to arrive at a per ounce figure. New Gold believes this non-GAAP
financial measure provides further transparency into costs associated with producing gold and will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the company in assessing the company’s
operating performance, its ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and its overall value. This data is furnished to provide additional information and is a non-GAAP financial
measure. All-in sustaining costs presented do not have 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 or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS or
operating costs presented under IFRS. Further details regarding historical all-in sustaining costs and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying
New Gold’s financial statements filed from time to time on www.sedar.com.
(4) TOTAL CASH COSTS
“Total cash costs” per ounce figures are non-GAAP measures which are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, a worldwide association of suppliers of gold
and gold products that ceased operations in 2002. Adoption of the standard is voluntary 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. The company believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the company’s performance and ability to
generate liquidity through operating cash flow to fund future capital expenditures and working capital needs. This measure, along with sales, is considered to be a key indicator of the
company’s ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining operations. Total cash costs include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing and administration
costs, royalties, production taxes, and realized gains and losses on fuel contracts, but are exclusive of amortization, reclamation, capital and exploration costs and net of by-product sales.
Total cash costs are then divided by ounces of gold sold to arrive at a per ounce figure. Co-product cash costs remove the impact of other metal sales that are produced as a by-product of
gold production and apportion the cash costs to each metal produced on a percentage of revenue basis, and subsequently divides the amount by the total ounces of gold or silver or pounds of
copper sold, as the case may be, to arrive at per ounce or per pound figures. Unless otherwise indicated, all total cash cost information in this presentation is net of by-product sales. This data
is furnished to provide additional information and is a non-GAAP financial measure. Total cash costs and co-product cash costs presented do not have 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 or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in
accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under GAAP. Further details regarding historical total cash costs
and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measures are provided in the MD&A accompanying New Gold’s financial statements filed from time to time on www.sedar.com.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
(5) OPERATING MARGIN
“Operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure with no standard meaning under IFRS, which management uses to evaluate the Company’s aggregated and mine-by-mine contribution to
net earnings before non-cash depreciation and depletion charges.
(6) AVERAGE REALIZED PRICE
“Average realized price per ounce or pound sold” is a non-GAAP financial measure with no standard meaning under IFRS. Management uses this measure to better understand the price
realized in each reporting period for gold, silver, and copper sales. Average realized price includes realized gains and losses from gold hedge settlements up until May 15, 2013 but excludes
from revenues unrealized gains and losses on non-hedged derivative contracts and the revenue reduction related to the non-cash accounting charge as the loss incurred on the monetization
of the company’s legacy hedge position is realized into income over the original term of the hedge contract. Average realized price is intended to provide additional information only and does
not have any standardized definition under IFRS; it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies
may calculate this measure differently and this measure is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
