Board Departure Announcement

Strengthened Position at New Afton

In addition to strong output at Rainy River, New Gold completed the acquisition of the remaining interest in the New Afton mine. This move strengthens the company’s operational control over a core asset and enhances its ability to capture long-term value from both gold and copper production. The integration of the remaining interest reflects an increased emphasis on asset optimization.

Operational and Financial Priorities

The company continues to focus on production growth and cost management across both operating mines. Ongoing capital allocation supports sustaining development and reserve extension programs. With stronger results at Rainy River and reinforced ownership at New Afton, New Gold  (TSX:NGD) remains positioned around asset optimization and operational stability.
