(“New Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX and NYSE American: NGD) today announced that it has commenced an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Notes"). New Gold intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to fund the redemption of its outstanding 6.25% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Existing Notes"), and to pay related fees and expenses.

The Notes will be offered and sold in Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to certain prospectus exemptions.

The offer and sale of the Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any offer or sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
