Cautionary statements
All monetary amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherw ise stated
Total cash costs shown net of by-product sales unless otherwise stated
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 always, identified by the use of forward-looking terminology
such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “projec ts”, “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. 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 work 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 ri sk factors
and uncertainties, many of which are beyond New Gold’s ability to control or predict. Material assumptions regarding our forw ard looking statements are discussed in this presentation, the
annual MD&A, the AIF and our Technical Reports. 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 materiall y 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 between actual and estimated production, between actual and
estimated reserves and resources and between actual and estimated metallurgical recoveries; 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 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, inc luding 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 Blackwater and the Rainy River Gold Project; in Mexico, where Cerro San Pedro has a history of ongoing legal challenges related to our environmental
authorization (EIS); and in Chile, where the courts had temporarily suspended the approval of the environmental permit for El Morro; the lack of certainty with respect to foreig n 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 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 with respect to the successful integration of the business of Rainy River within the business of New Gold; unexpected delays and costs
inherent to consulting and accommodating rights of First Nations; and uncertainties with respect to obtaining all necessary surface rights for the Rainy River Project. In addition, there are risks
and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental events and h azards, 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
(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. 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 an y forward-looking statements whether as a result of
new information, events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
All endnotes can be found at the conclusion of the presentation and should be reviewed.

Evaluating further throughput expansion potential to ~14,000 tonnes per day
• During third quarter, ran operation at 14,000
to 15,500 tonnes per day over five day period

• 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
abov e.
5) Qualif ied Person: The preparation of New Gold’s mineral reserv e and resource statements has been done by or under the superv ision of Qualif ied Persons as def ined under Canadian NI 43-101 and they were rev iewed
and approv ed by Mark Petersen, a Qualif ied Person under NI 43-101 and an of f icer of New Gold.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. READERS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED 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”, “In dicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource”
used in this presentation are Canadian mining terms as defined 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 Reserves adopted by the CIM Council on November 2 7, 2010. 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. Under United States standards, mineralization may no t 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 calculation is made. As such, certain information contained in this
presentation concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar in formation made public by United States companies subject to
the reporting and disclosure requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. An “Inferred Mineral Resou rce” has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence
and as to its economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource” wil l ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules,
estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre -feasibility studies. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated
Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource” exists, or is economically or legally
mineable. In addition, the definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” under CIM standards diffe r 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 Petersen, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43 -101 and officer of New Gold.
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
The estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources discussed in this presentation may be materially affected by environmenta l, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing
and other relevant issues. In addition to our February 5, 2013, April 4, 2013 and July 31, 2013 presentations, further details regarding Mineral Reserve and Resource estimates, including
classifications, key assumptions and parameters used in such estimates and other related information for each of New Gold's mineral properties are provided in the respective NI 43-101
Technical Reports, which are available 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 Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them
to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA based on these mineral resources will be realiz ed. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability. This presentation includes information on New Gold’s PEA with respect to the Blackwater Project, which was outlined in the PEA Technical Report filed on
October 10, 2012. As disclosed in the presentation, New Gold has, since the date of the PEA, completed several non-material updates of the mineral resource estimate for the Blackwater
Project. Although the PEA represents useful, accurate and reliable information based on the information available at the time of its publication, and provides an important indicator as to the
economic potential of the Blackwater Project, the PEA is based on mineral resources estimates with an effective date of July 27, 2012, which do not reflect drilli ng conducted since their
effective date, and the PEA does not reflect the latest mineral resource estimate discussed in subsequent presentation. Certa in assumptions used in the PEA, some of which relate to the July
27, 2012 mineral resource estimate, may have changed from those used for the new resource estimate, causing a variation of parameters. Moreover, the updated mineral resource estimate
may impact how New Gold intends to develop the deposit, including pit outlines, production rates and mine life.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
TOTAL CASH COSTS
“Total cash costs” per ounce figures are non-GAAP measures which are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The G old 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 standard is widely accepted as the standard of
reporting cash costs of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented ma y 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 min ing, processing, administration, royalties and production taxes,
but are exclusive of amortization, reclamation, capital and exploration costs. Total cash costs are reduced by any by -product revenue and is then divided by ounces sold to arrive 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 gene rate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining
operations. This data is furnished to provide additional information and is a non -IFRS measure. Total 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 as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS
and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs presented under IFRS. Further details regarding this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure is provided in the MD&A
accompanying the quarterly financial statements.
ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS
Consistent with the guidance announced earlier in 2013 from the World Gold Council, an association of various gold mining com panies from around the world of which New Gold is a member,
New Gold defines “all-in sustaining costs” as the sum of total cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate general & administrative costs, capitalized and expensed exploration that
is sustaining in nature and environmental reclamation costs. New Gold believes this non -GAAP measure provides further transparency into costs associated with producing gold and will
assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the company in assessing its operating performance, its ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and its overall value. Allin sustaining costs constitute a non-GAAP measure and are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any st andardized meaning under IFRS. They should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Further details
regarding this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure is provided in the MD&A accompanying the quarterly financial statements.
ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS
“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted net earnings per share” are non -GAAP financial measures. Net earnings have been adjusted a nd 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
earnings from continuing operations. The company uses this measure for its own internal purposes and believes the presentation of adjusted net earnings 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 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 earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any
standardized meaning under IFRS. 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 flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calcula te these measures differently. Further details regarding this
measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure is provided in the MD&A accompanying the quarterly financial statements.
ADJUSTED NET CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS
“Adjusted net cash generated from operations” is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net cash generated from operations has been adjusted for one-time expenses related to the company’s
acquisition of Rainy River in the third quarter and a one -time charge incurred in the second quarter related to the settlement o f the company’s legacy gold hedge position. The company
believes the presentation of adjusted net cash generated from operations enables investors and analysts to better understand the underlying operating performance of our core mining
business. Adjusted net cash generated from operations is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. It should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details regarding this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS
measure is provided in the MD&A accompanying the quarterly financial statements.

    Appendix 7 Reserves andresources 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’). 1) Mineral Reserves for the company’s mineral properties have been calculated based on the follow ing metal prices and low er cut-off criteria: Mineral Property Gold (US$/oz) Silver (US$/oz) Copper (US$/lb) Low er Cut-off Mesquite $1,300 - - 0.21 g/t Au – Oxide reserves 0.41 g/t Au – Non-oxide reserves Cerro San Pedro $1,300 $24.00 - US$4.33 /t NSR Peak Mines $1,300 $24.00 $3.00 A$120 – 253/t NSR New Afton $1,300 - $3.00 US$24/t NSR El Morro $1,350 - $3.00 0.20% CuEq Rainy River $1,250 $25.00 - 0.30 g/t AuEq – Open Pit 3.5 g/t AuEq - Underground 52

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 abov e. 5) Qualif ied Person: The preparation of New Gold’s mineral reserv e and resource statements has been done by or under the superv ision of Qualif ied Persons as def ined under Canadian NI 43-101 and they were rev iewed and approv ed by Mark Petersen, a Qualif ied Person under NI 43-101 and an of f icer of New Gold. 6) For additional inf ormation regarding reserv e and resource estimates, ref er to: New Gold’s “Annual Inf ormation Form f or the Financial Y ear Ended December 31, 2012” dated March 27, 2013; news release dated April 4, 2013 “New Gold Announces Increased Gold Resources at Blackwater Project”; news release dated May 1, 2013 “New Gold Announces 2013 First Quarter Results – Increases Gold and Copper Resources at New Af ton C-Zone by Ov er 300 Percent”; and news release dated July 31, 2013 “New Gold Second Quarter Deliv ers Increased Production at Lower Costs - Second Half of 2013 Remains on Track to Prov ide Strong Finish to the Y ear”. 53

    Endnotes CAUTIONARY NOTE TOU.S. READERS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED 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”, “In dicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” used in this presentation are Canadian mining terms as defined 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 Reserves adopted by the CIM Council on November 2 7, 2010. 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. Under United States standards, mineralization may no t 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 calculation is made. As such, certain information contained in this presentation concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar in formation made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. An “Inferred Mineral Resou rce” has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource” wil l ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre -feasibility studies. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource” exists, or is economically or legally mineable. In addition, the definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” under CIM standards diffe r 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 Petersen, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43 -101 and officer of New Gold. Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources The estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources discussed in this presentation may be materially affected by environmenta l, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing and other relevant issues. In addition to our February 5, 2013, April 4, 2013 and July 31, 2013 presentations, further details regarding Mineral Reserve and Resource estimates, including classifications, key assumptions and parameters used in such estimates and other related information for each of New Gold's mineral properties are provided in the respective NI 43-101 Technical Reports, which are available 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 Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA based on these mineral resources will be realiz ed. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. This presentation includes information on New Gold’s PEA with respect to the Blackwater Project, which was outlined in the PEA Technical Report filed on October 10, 2012. As disclosed in the presentation, New Gold has, since the date of the PEA, completed several non-material updates of the mineral resource estimate for the Blackwater Project. Although the PEA represents useful, accurate and reliable information based on the information available at the time of its publication, and provides an important indicator as to the economic potential of the Blackwater Project, the PEA is based on mineral resources estimates with an effective date of July 27, 2012, which do not reflect drilli ng conducted since their effective date, and the PEA does not reflect the latest mineral resource estimate discussed in subsequent presentation. Certa in assumptions used in the PEA, some of which relate to the July 27, 2012 mineral resource estimate, may have changed from those used for the new resource estimate, causing a variation of parameters. Moreover, the updated mineral resource estimate may impact how New Gold intends to develop the deposit, including pit outlines, production rates and mine life. 57

    Endnotes continued NON-GAAP MEASURES TOTALCASH COSTS “Total cash costs” per ounce figures are non-GAAP measures which are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The G old 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 standard is widely accepted as the standard of reporting cash costs of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented ma y 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 min ing, processing, administration, royalties and production taxes, but are exclusive of amortization, reclamation, capital and exploration costs. Total cash costs are reduced by any by -product revenue and is then divided by ounces sold to arrive 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 gene rate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining operations. This data is furnished to provide additional information and is a non -IFRS measure. Total 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 as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs presented under IFRS. Further details regarding this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure is provided in the MD&A accompanying the quarterly financial statements. ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS Consistent with the guidance announced earlier in 2013 from the World Gold Council, an association of various gold mining com panies from around the world of which New Gold is a member, New Gold defines “all-in sustaining costs” as the sum of total cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate general & administrative costs, capitalized and expensed exploration that is sustaining in nature and environmental reclamation costs. New Gold believes this non -GAAP measure provides further transparency into costs associated with producing gold and will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the company in assessing its operating performance, its ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and its overall value. Allin sustaining costs constitute a non-GAAP measure and are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any st andardized meaning under IFRS. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Further details regarding this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure is provided in the MD&A accompanying the quarterly financial statements. ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS “Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted net earnings per share” are non -GAAP financial measures. Net earnings have been adjusted a nd 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 earnings from continuing operations. The company uses this measure for its own internal purposes and believes the presentation of adjusted net earnings 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 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 earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. 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 flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calcula te these measures differently. Further details regarding this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure is provided in the MD&A accompanying the quarterly financial statements. ADJUSTED NET CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS “Adjusted net cash generated from operations” is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net cash generated from operations has been adjusted for one-time expenses related to the company’s acquisition of Rainy River in the third quarter and a one -time charge incurred in the second quarter related to the settlement o f the company’s legacy gold hedge position. The company believes the presentation of adjusted net cash generated from operations enables investors and analysts to better understand the underlying operating performance of our core mining business.
