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 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", “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. All such forward-looking statements 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.
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; fluctuations in the international currency markets and in the rates of exchange of the currencies of Canada, the United States, Australia, Mexico and Chile;
price volatility in the spot and forward markets for commodities; impact of any hedging activities, including margin limits and margin calls; discrepancies between actual and estimated
production, between actual and estimated reserves and resources and between actual and estimated metallurgical recoveries; changes in international, 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 that New Gold operates,
including, but not limited to, in Canada obtaining the necessary permits for the Blackwater project, in Mexico where the Cerro San Pedro mine has a history of ongoing legal challenges related
to our EIS and in Chile where the courts have temporarily suspended the approval of the environmental permit for the El Morro project; 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 the company is or may become a party to; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; competition; loss of key employees; additional funding requirements; actual results of
current exploration or reclamation activities; uncertainties inherent to economic studies in respect of the PEA for the Blackwater 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. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the
business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental 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.

3. Cautionary statement (cont’d)
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 December 11, 2005. While the terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred 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
The scientific and technical information in this presentation has been reviewed by Mark Petersen, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and an employee of New Gold.
(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.

Blackwater Mineral Resource Estimate
March 2013 Mineral Resource 2012 Year End Mineral Resource
1. M ineral resources are reported within a conceptual open pit shell based on metal prices of $1,400/oz gold and $28.00/oz silver. The M arch 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 calculated on the basis of 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 1above.

• Drawbell development has been progressing at a
faster rate than planned
• 50 active drawbells required to source 11,000
tonnes per day of ore feed
• Completed 50th drawbell on November 22,
2012
– At December 31, 2012 – 54 drawbells had
been completed
• As a result of accelerated drawbell development,
took the opportunity to develop the East Cave,
the benefits of which include:
• Additional ore access points
• More consistent annual production profile
• Added flexibility
It is expected approximately 65 active drawbells would ultimately provide ~25-30% more
ore, resulting in potential for similar increase in mining rate

51
• 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
68
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

(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.
