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 ismade. 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. 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.

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 Gold Institute, a worldwide association of suppliers of
gold and gold products included leading North American gold producers which ceased operations in 2002. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. New Gold reports total cash costs on a sales basis. 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 explo ration 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-GAAP measure. Total 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 a s 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 this measure and a
reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure is provided in the MD&A accompanying our financial statements.
ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS
Consistent with guidance announced in 2013 from 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 & administrative costs, capitalized and expen sed exploration that
is sustaining in nature and environmental reclamation costs, all divided by the ounces sold to arrive at a per ounce figure. 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 comp any in assessing its operating performance, its ability to generate
free cash flow from current operations and its overall value. They 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 this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure is provided in the MD&A’s
accompanying our financial statements.
ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS
“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted net earnings per share” are non -GAAP financial measures. Net earnings have been adjusted and tax affected for the group of costs in “Other gains and
losses” on the condensed consolidated income statement. The adjusted entries are also impacted for tax to the extent that the underlying entries are impacted for tax in the unadjusted net
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 GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not
necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Further details regarding this
measure and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure is provided in the MD&A’s accompanying our 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 GAAP. It should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further details regarding this measure and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP
measure is provided in the MD&A’s accompanying our financial statements.
