Exhibit 99.1
Bayfield Ventures Shareholders Approve Plan of Arrangement with
New Gold
TORONTO, Dec. 29, 2014 /CNW/ - New Gold Inc. ("New Gold")
(TSX:NGD) and (NYSE MKT:NGD) is pleased to announce that the shareholders of Bayfield Ventures Corp. ("Bayfield") have
voted overwhelmingly in favour of the proposed plan of arrangement with New Gold (the "Arrangement"). Under the terms
of the Arrangement, Bayfield shareholders will receive 0.0477 of a New Gold common share for each Bayfield common share held.
Upon closing of the Arrangement, New Gold will acquire all
of Bayfield's assets which include a 100% interest in three mineral properties, totalling 10 square kilometres, located adjacent
to New Gold's Rainy River project in northwestern Ontario. One of the three properties, the Burns Block, lies between the eastern
edge of the planned open pit and the underground Intrepid zone at Rainy River, and contains National Instrument 43-101 compliant
gold and silver mineral resources.
Bayfield has applied to the Supreme Court of British Columbia
to obtain the final court order approving the Arrangement and the hearing is expected to take place on December 30, 2014. Assuming
court approval is obtained and that all other conditions of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, the Arrangement is expected
to become effective on or around January 1, 2015.
Bayfield shareholders and other interested parties can find
additional materials relating to the Arrangement under Bayfield's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
