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 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”, “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, cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (and its

components) and for growth capital expenditures, including the expected drivers of those figures and the nature and amount of particular expected expenditures; the expected throughput and recovery rates at New

Afton; planned modifications to the New Afton Mine and mill, the expected timeline, outcomes, cost and payback period of any such modifications; planed modifications to other operations; expected future mining

activities; planned exploration expenditures (and their accounting treatment) and drilling activities and costs; exploration potential and the goals and expected results of future exploration activities; the estimation of

mineral reserves and resources and the realization of such estimates; the results of the Rainy River and Blackwater feasibility studies, including the expected production, costs, stripping ratio, mining and

processing method and rate, stockpiling plan, recovery rates, mine life, infrastructure, NPV, IRR and payback period (and related sensitivities associated with each project; the potential annual production, cash

costs and capital costs, and the potential for a block cave, at the El Morro project; the timing of permitting activities and environmental asse ssment processes; and the timeline for development of Rainy River,

including targeted timing for commissioning and full production.

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 our forward-looking statements are discussed in this presentation, New Gold’s 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 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) labour and material costs increasing on a basis consistent with New Gold’s current expectations; (7) permitting and arrangements with First Nations and other Aboriginal groups in respect of

Rainy River and Blackwater being consistent with New Gold’s current expectations; (8) all environmental approvals (including the environmental asse ssment process for the Blackwater and Rainy River projects),

required permits, licenses and authorizations being obtained from the relevant governments and other relevant stakeholders within the expected timelines; and (9) the results of the feasibility studies for the Rainy

River and Blackwater projectsbeing realized.

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; 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

government 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, 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 Blackwater and Rainy River projects; 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 have temporarily suspended the approval of the environmental permit for El Morro; 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 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 feasibility studies for Rainy River and 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; uncertainties with respect to obtaining all necessary surface and other land use rights or tenure for Rainy River; 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 processe s for Blackwater and Rainy River.

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) a s 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, eventsor otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The preliminary information provided for production, sales, total cash costs(1) and all-in sustaining costs(2) are approximate figures and may differ from the final results in the 2013 annual audited financial

statementsand management’sdiscussion and analysis. The footnotesto thispresentation contain important information, refer to appendicesand endnotesfound at the end of the presentation.

1. Refer to Endnote on all-in sustaining costs under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures”. Rainy River and Blackwater life-of-mine all-in sustaining costs are estimated to be $736/oz and $685/oz based on their respective Feasibility Studies.

2. Based on mid-point of 2014 guidance.

3. Based on expected annual production from current operations, including positive production impact of New Afton’s mill expansion targeted for mid-2015, Mesquite’s mine plan moving into grades more in line with reserve grade, which is partially offset by Cerro San Pedro ceasing active mining and moving into residual leaching, and includes the first year of full production from Rainy River.

4. Based on ~325Koz annual production from Rainy River, ~485Koz annual production from Blackwater and ~90Koz annual production from El Morro as outlined in their Feasibility Studies for the projects and production contribution from New Afton, Mesquite and the Peak Mines and is dependent on the timely development of Blackwater and El Morro.

• Ran operation at 14,000 to 15,500 tonnes per day over multi-day periods in August and

December 2013

• Mill was able to process higher throughput, however a decrease in recovery was seen

• Began evaluating low capital cost alternatives to increase recoveries at higher throughput

• Identified that tertiary grinding and increased flotation capacity would be required to maintain

recoveries

• Worked with third party engineering firm on the capital cost estimate

2) Mineral Resources for the company’s mineral properties have been estimated based on the follow ing metal prices and low er cut-off criteria:

3) Mineral resources are classif ied as Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources and are reported based on technical and economic parameters consistent w ith the methods most suitable

for their potential commercial exploitation. Where different mining and/or processing methods might be applied to different portions of a mineral resource, the designators ‘open pit’ and

‘underground’ have been applied to indicate envisioned mining method. Likew ise the designators ‘oxide’, ‘non-oxide’ and ‘sulphide’ have been applied to indicate the type of mineralization

as it relates to appropriate mineral processing method and expected payable metal recoveries. Additional details regarding mineral resource estimation, classif ication, reporting parameters, key assumptions and associated risks for each of New Gold’s mineral properties, other than Rainy River, are provided in the respective NI 43-101 Technical Reports w hich are available at

Rainy River Mineral Reserves:

1. Open pit mineral reserves have been estimated using an optimized pit shell based on metal prices of $800 per ounce gold and $25 per ounce silver, a foreign exchange rate of C$1.05 to

US$1.00, gold recovery of 89.9% (non-CAP Zone) and 74.3% (CAP Zone) and a silver recovery of 67.1% (non-CAP Zone) and 69.5% (CAP Zone). The cut-off grade is based on a gold

price of $1,200. Underground reserves have been estimated from mining shapes generated using a cut-off grade of 3.5 g/t gold-equivalent. Development material from stope access drives

above a cut-off grade of 1.5 g/t gold-equivalent is also assumed to be sent to the mill for processing. Underground breakeven cut-off grade is calculated at 2.75 g/t gold-equivalent based on metal prices of $1,300 per ounce gold and $22 per ounce silver, a foreign exchange rate of CAD $1.05 to USD $1.00, gold recov ery of 95% and a silver recovery of 75%.

2. Open pit reserves have been estimated using a dilution of 4% at 0.21 g/t Au and 1.19 g/t Ag, and underground reserves have been estimated using an overall dilution of 8.3%, inclusive of

both rock and backfill dilution. Open pit and underground reserves have been estimated using a mining recovery of 95% and 96.5%, respectively.

3. Open pit direct processing material is defined as mineralization likely to be mined and processed directly and above a var iable cut-off grade ranging from 0.3-0.7 Au g/t.

4. Stockpile material includes all material w ithin designed open pit betw een variable cut-offs described above in Note 3, as w ell as material w ithin the CAP Zone (code 500) that is suitable for stockpiling and future processing.

5. Mineral Reserves for the open pit are derived from the resource model effective November 2, 2013. Models for the underground reserves were derived from the August 2013 and

September 2013 models for the main ODM zone and Intrepid Zone, respectively. Models w ere prepared by Dorota El-Rassi, P.Eng. (APEO #100012348) and Glen Cole, P.Geo. (APGO

#1416), of SRK, both independent “Qualif ied Persons" as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101. Rainy River’s exploration program in Richardson Tow nship is being supervised

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 unde r applicable Canadian securities laws, and may not be comparable to

similar information for United States companies. The terms “Mineral Resource”, “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Minera l Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” used in this Report are

Canadian mining terms as defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards f or Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by CIM Council on

November 27, 2010 and incorporated by reference in National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 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 Report concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards isnot 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 greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasi bility. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not

form the basis of feasibility of pre-feasibility studies. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource” wil l 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 tha t 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 that are not Mineral Reserves will ever be converted

into Mineral Reserves. In addition, the definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” under CIM st andards 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” under National Instrument 43 -101.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

(1) 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 com parable 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, adm inistration, 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 then divided by ounces of gold sold to arrive at a per ounce figure. Co-product cash costs are

calculated based on total cash costs, prior to any reduction for by-product revenue, being apportioned to each metal produced on a percentage of revenue basis and subsequently divided by ounces of gold

or silver sold or pounds of copper sold to arrive at per ounce or per pound figures. These measures, along with sales, are co nsidered 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 -GAAP measure. Total cash costs and co-product cash costs presented do not have a

standardized meaning under GAAP 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 GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs presented under GAAP. Furth er details regarding our non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the

nearest GAAP measures are provided in our MD&A’s accompanying our financial statements fi led from time to time on www.sedar.com.

(2) 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, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate general and administra tive 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 th is 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 the company’s expected operating performance, ability to generate free cash flow and its overall value.

This data is furnished to provide additional information and is a non-GAAP measure. All -in sustaining costs presented do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP 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 GAAP and is not necessarily indicative

of operating costs presented under GAAP. Further details regarding our non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures are provided in our MD&A’s accompanying our financial

statements fi led from time to time on www.sedar.com.
