CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information contained in this presentation constitutes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward
looking information under the provisions of Canadian securities laws. 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", “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. Such statements and information include, without limitation, statements regarding expectations as to the anticipated timing of the mailing of the offer materials, the estimated
mineral resources and mineral reserves at Rainy River’s property, the expected further growth in gold reserves and ongoing cash flows and other benefits of the transaction containing forward-
looking information. This forward looking information is subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions, certain of which are beyond the control of Rainy River and/or New Gold,
including risks relating to acquisitions, including, without limitation, the parties may be unable to complete the acquisition or completing the acquisition may be more costly than expected
because, among other reasons, conditions to the closing of the acquisition may not be satisfied; problems may arise with the ability to successfully integrate the businesses of New Gold and
Rainy River, the parties may be unable to obtain regulatory approvals required for the acquisition, New Gold may not be able to achieve the benefits from the acquisition or it may take longer
than expected to achieve those benefits; and the acquisition may involve unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities. Other risks include the impact of general economic conditions; industry
conditions; volatility of metals prices; volatility of commodity prices; currency fluctuations; mining risks; risks associated with foreign operations; governmental and environmental regulation;
competition from other industry participants; the lack of availability of qualified personnel or management; stock market volatility; the ability of New Gold to complete or successfully integrate an
announced acquisition proposal; unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities related to the acquisition. Readers are cautioned that the material assumptions used in the preparation of such
information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise. Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in,
or implied by, this forward-looking information and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any
of them do so, what benefits that Rainy River and/or New Gold will derive therefrom. New Gold and Rainy River disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by applicable securities laws. The issuance of New Gold shares under the transaction is
subject to TSX acceptance or approval.
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. READERS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES
Information concerning the properties and operations discussed in this presentation 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 accordance with 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 27, 2010. While the terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource" and
"Indicated Mineral Resource" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 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 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. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an
"Inferred Mineral Resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic
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 differ in certain respects from the standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
New Gold
The scientific and technical information, as it relates to New Gold, in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Mark Petersen (AIPG CPG #10563), a Qualified Person under
National Instrument 43-101 and employee of New Gold.
Rainy River
The scientific and technical information, as it relates to Rainy River, in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Garett Macdonald, P.Eng. (PEO #90475344) and Kerry Sparkes,
P.Geo. (APEGBC #25261), both Qualified Persons under National Instrument 43-101 and employees of Rainy River. Rainy River's exploration program in Richardson Township is being
supervised by Kerry Sparkes, P.Geo. (APEGBC #25261), a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and employee of Rainy River.
Rainy River Mineral Reserves
Open pit mineral reserves have been estimated using a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t gold-equivalent, and underground reserves have been estimated using a cut-off grade of 3.5 g/t gold-
equivalent. Open pit reserves have been estimated using a dilution of 9.7% at 0.22 g/t Au and 1.31 g/t Ag, and underground reserves have been estimated using a CAF dilution of 9% at 0.61
g/t Au and 4.16 g/t Ag and LH dilution of 10% at 1.56 g/t Au and 1.28 g/t Ag. Open pit reserves have been estimated using a mine recovery of 95%, and underground reserves have been
estimated using a mine recovery of 95%. Additional details regarding the Mineral Reserve estimate and related Feasibility Study are provided in the May 23, 2013 NI 43-101 Technical Report
available on SEDAR.
Rainy River Mineral Resources
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resources are reported relative to conceptual open pit shells. On average, the conceptual
open pit extends to an elevation of 500 metres below surface. Material above this elevation offers reasonable prospects for economic extraction from an open pit because drilling results
suggest that the zone of gold mineralization is broader than currently modeled and that new drilling information should positively impact future mineral resources. Material below this elevation
is potentially mineable by underground mining methods. Mineral resources that are potentially mineable by open pit methods are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.35 g/t gold; underground
mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t gold. All mineral resources are based on a gold price of US$1,100 per ounce, a silver price of US$22.50 per ounce, a foreign
exchange rate of 1.10 Canadian dollars to 1.0 US dollar. Metallurgical recoveries include 88% for gold in open pit resources and 90% for gold in underground resources, with a silver recovery
of 75% in both cases.
All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. Figures may not add due to rounding. Additional details on the Mineral Resource estimate are provided in the Rainy River
news release dated October 10, 2012. Mineral Resources were estimated by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK”) and are reported in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators
National Instrument 43-101.

Cautionary statement (cont’d)
(1) TOTAL CASH COSTS
“Total cash costs” per ounce figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed 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 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 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, 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 generate 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 prescribed by 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. A reconciliation will be provided in the MD&A accompanying the quarterly financial statements.
(2) ALL-IN SUSTAINING CASH COSTS
The company is working with the World Gold Council and is in the process of adopting an “all-in sustaining cash costs” measure that the company believes more fully defines the total costs
associated with producing gold. Although the definition is still preliminary, all-in sustaining cash costs, as currently defined, includes: total cash costs(1), corporate general and administrative
expenses, exploration expense and sustaining capital. This metric is a non-IFRS measure.
(3) 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 realized. 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 drilling conducted since their
effective date, and the PEA does not reflect 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 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.

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 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

Mill capacity
48
• Record daily throughput of 13,840 tonnes
• 12,250 tonnes per day sustained in October 2012 with
no significant optimization efforts
• Key considerations for increased mill throughput include:
• SAG Mill: Flexibility to optimize mill power and burden
level for finest possible product size distribution over a
wide range of ore conditions
• Ball Mill: Optimize SAG screen deck and hydrocyclone
cluster configurations for SAG/Ball Mill circuit balance;
optimal Ball Mill feed size and classification efficiency
• Flotation: Capacity is adequate for substantial increase
in throughput
• Concentrate Filtration: Existing capacity for incremental
production increase; ample space for installation of third
filter
• Tailings Pumping Capacity: Three stage variable speed
pumps currently running well below maximum
capacities

Reserves and resources notes
65
Mineral reserves are contained within 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 known
with 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 following metal prices and lower cut-off criteria:
Mineral Property Gold
(US$/oz)
Silver
(US$/oz)
Copper
(US$/lb)
Lower 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

2) Mineral Resources for the company’s mineral properties have been calculated based on the following metal prices and lower cut-off criteria:
Mineral resources have been estimated and reported in accordance with CIM definition standards and guidelines and Canadian NI 43-101.
Mineral Property Gold
(US$/oz)
Silver
(US$/oz)
Copper
(US$/lb)
Lower Cut-off
Mesquite $1,400 - - 0.12 g/t Au – Oxide resources
0.24 g/t Au – Non-oxide resources
Cerro San Pedro $1,400 $28.00 - 0.1g/t AuEq – Open pit oxide resources
0.4g/t AuEq – Open pit sulphide resources
Peak Mines $1,400 $28.00 $3.25 A$97 - 137/t NSR
New Afton $1,400 $28.00 $3.25 0.40% CuEq – All resources
El Morro $1,500 - $3.50 0.15% Cu – Open pit resources
0.20% Cu – Underground resources
Blackwater $1,400 - - 0.40 g/t AuEq
Capoose $1,400 - - 0.40 g/t AuEq
3) Mineral resources are classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources and are reported based 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 appropriate mineral processing method and expected payable metal recoveries. Additional details regarding mineral resource estimation, classification and reporting parameters for
each of New Gold’s mineral properties are provided in the respective NI 43-101 Technical Reports which are available 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 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/sulfide mineralization and 85.0% gold and 44.0%
silver for sulfide 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 between 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) Qualified Person: The preparation of New Gold’s mineral reserve and resource statements has been done by Qualified Persons as defined under Canadian National Instrument 43-101
under the oversight and review of Mark Petersen, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and employee of New Gold.

Scotiabank Latin American Mining Conference

  • 1. Scotiabank Latin American Mining Conference June 3-4, 2013 London
  • 2. Cautionary statement All monetary amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise 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 constitutes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward looking information under the provisions of Canadian securities laws. 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", “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. Such statements and information include, without limitation, statements regarding expectations as to the anticipated timing of the mailing of the offer materials, the estimated mineral resources and mineral reserves at Rainy River’s property, the expected further growth in gold reserves and ongoing cash flows and other benefits of the transaction containing forward- looking information. This forward looking information is subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions, certain of which are beyond the control of Rainy River and/or New Gold, including risks relating to acquisitions, including, without limitation, the parties may be unable to complete the acquisition or completing the acquisition may be more costly than expected because, among other reasons, conditions to the closing of the acquisition may not be satisfied; problems may arise with the ability to successfully integrate the businesses of New Gold and Rainy River, the parties may be unable to obtain regulatory approvals required for the acquisition, New Gold may not be able to achieve the benefits from the acquisition or it may take longer than expected to achieve those benefits; and the acquisition may involve unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities. Other risks include the impact of general economic conditions; industry conditions; volatility of metals prices; volatility of commodity prices; currency fluctuations; mining risks; risks associated with foreign operations; governmental and environmental regulation; competition from other industry participants; the lack of availability of qualified personnel or management; stock market volatility; the ability of New Gold to complete or successfully integrate an announced acquisition proposal; unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities related to the acquisition. Readers are cautioned that the material assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise. Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, this forward-looking information and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that Rainy River and/or New Gold will derive therefrom. New Gold and Rainy River disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by applicable securities laws. The issuance of New Gold shares under the transaction is subject to TSX acceptance or approval. CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. READERS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES Information concerning the properties and operations discussed in this presentation 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 accordance with 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 27, 2010. While the terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource" and "Indicated Mineral Resource" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 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 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. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "Inferred Mineral Resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic 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 differ in certain respects from the standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. 2
  • 3. Cautionary statement (cont’d) U.S. SHAREHOLDERS New Gold will be filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form F-10 in connection with the Offer which will include the formal offer and take-over bid circular. New Gold encourages shareholders of Rainy River to read the formal offer and take-over bid circular which contain the full terms and conditions of the Offer and other important information. The offer and take-over bid circular may be obtained free of charge through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to the Investor Relations department of New Gold. TECHNICAL INFORMATION New Gold The scientific and technical information, as it relates to New Gold, in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Mark Petersen (AIPG CPG #10563), a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and employee of New Gold. Rainy River The scientific and technical information, as it relates to Rainy River, in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Garett Macdonald, P.Eng. (PEO #90475344) and Kerry Sparkes, P.Geo. (APEGBC #25261), both Qualified Persons under National Instrument 43-101 and employees of Rainy River. Rainy River's exploration program in Richardson Township is being supervised by Kerry Sparkes, P.Geo. (APEGBC #25261), a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and employee of Rainy River. Rainy River Mineral Reserves Open pit mineral reserves have been estimated using a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t gold-equivalent, and underground reserves have been estimated using a cut-off grade of 3.5 g/t gold- equivalent. Open pit reserves have been estimated using a dilution of 9.7% at 0.22 g/t Au and 1.31 g/t Ag, and underground reserves have been estimated using a CAF dilution of 9% at 0.61 g/t Au and 4.16 g/t Ag and LH dilution of 10% at 1.56 g/t Au and 1.28 g/t Ag. Open pit reserves have been estimated using a mine recovery of 95%, and underground reserves have been estimated using a mine recovery of 95%. Additional details regarding the Mineral Reserve estimate and related Feasibility Study are provided in the May 23, 2013 NI 43-101 Technical Report available on SEDAR. Rainy River Mineral Resources Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resources are reported relative to conceptual open pit shells. On average, the conceptual open pit extends to an elevation of 500 metres below surface. Material above this elevation offers reasonable prospects for economic extraction from an open pit because drilling results suggest that the zone of gold mineralization is broader than currently modeled and that new drilling information should positively impact future mineral resources. Material below this elevation is potentially mineable by underground mining methods. Mineral resources that are potentially mineable by open pit methods are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.35 g/t gold; underground mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t gold. All mineral resources are based on a gold price of US$1,100 per ounce, a silver price of US$22.50 per ounce, a foreign exchange rate of 1.10 Canadian dollars to 1.0 US dollar. Metallurgical recoveries include 88% for gold in open pit resources and 90% for gold in underground resources, with a silver recovery of 75% in both cases. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. Figures may not add due to rounding. Additional details on the Mineral Resource estimate are provided in the Rainy River news release dated October 10, 2012. Mineral Resources were estimated by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK”) and are reported in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101. 3
  • 4. Cautionary statement (cont’d) (1) TOTAL CASH COSTS “Total cash costs” per ounce figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed 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 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 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, 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 generate 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 prescribed by 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. A reconciliation will be provided in the MD&A accompanying the quarterly financial statements. (2) ALL-IN SUSTAINING CASH COSTS The company is working with the World Gold Council and is in the process of adopting an “all-in sustaining cash costs” measure that the company believes more fully defines the total costs associated with producing gold. Although the definition is still preliminary, all-in sustaining cash costs, as currently defined, includes: total cash costs(1), corporate general and administrative expenses, exploration expense and sustaining capital. This metric is a non-IFRS measure. (3) 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 realized. 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 drilling conducted since their effective date, and the PEA does not reflect 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 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. 4

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/sulfide mineralization and 85.0% gold and 44.0% silver for sulfide 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 between 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) Qualified Person: The preparation of New Gold’s mineral reserve and resource statements has been done by Qualified Persons as defined under Canadian National Instrument 43-101 under the oversight and review of Mark Petersen, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and employee of New Gold.
