TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - New Gold Inc. ("New
Gold" or the "Company") (TSX:NGD) (NYSE American:NGD) announces the
departure of Cory Atiyeh, Executive
Vice President, Operations, effective October 22, 2018.

simplified operational structure focused on two operating
assets. Over the coming months, Renaud Adams, President and Chief Executive
Officer, will work directly with the General Manager of
Rainy River, Chuck Hennessey, and the General Manager of New
Afton, John Ritter, to provide
support and oversight for both operations, particularly at the
Rainy River Mine during this critical ramp-up period.
"The entire New Gold team would like to thank Cory for his
significant contribution to the Company over the past 12 years, and
we wish him all the best with his future endeavours. On a personal
note, I would like to thank him for his assistance during my
transition as his knowledge, perspective and contribution have been
invaluable," stated Renaud Adams,
President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued, "I am looking
forward to working directly with our General Managers at
Rainy River and New Afton as we
execute on our strategic direction and create sustainable value for
our shareholders."
