Additional Notes:

Proven + Probable Reporting Method    -    New Gold Reserves and Resources web page viewed September 2009.

Notes to Mineral Reserve & Resource Statements
1) 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.


Note: Proven and Probable reserves have NOT been reported separately since New Gold has elected to report Measured + Indicated inclusive of Proven + Probable. However, for the Mesquite mine, Proven + Probable are reported separately in this report.

The total gold ounce count in this report should be compared with the Measured + Indicated + Inferred counts on Reserves and Resources.

As a result of the Proven + Probable reporting practise, the PP% in this report under report New Gold's Proven + Probable reserves.
