New Gold TSX trading over 12 monthsNew Gold TSX trading over 12 months

New Gold Inc. is taking over Western Goldfields Inc. in a share-exchange deal that will create a new mid-sized gold producer, the companies announced Wednesday.

New Gold will exchange one of its shares for each Western share, and throw in a microscopic cash payment of 1/100 of a cent per Western share.

Based on the companies' closing prices on the TSX on Tuesday, the offer represents a premium of 19.2 per cent for Western's stock, they said in a joint announcement.

New Gold stock closed down fell 23 cents to $2.07 in TSX trading. Western shares rose eight cents to $2.01.

The companies said their combined gold production from three mines is forecast to be about 335,000 ounces this year.

Mineable reserves will total 7.6 million ounces.

Based on year-end 2008 figures, the combined company will have cash of $171 million, long term investments of $77 million and debt of $275 million.

The boards of both companies have approved the deal. It requires the approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders of Western, and majority approval by New Gold shareholders.

Shareholder meetings are expected to be held in May, the companies said.

Once approved, existing New Gold shareholders will own 58 per cent of the combined company and Western shareholders 42 per cent.

There will be a new total of about 348 million shares outstanding.

The new company will operate the Mesquite Mine in California, Cerro San Pedro Mine in Mexico and Peak Mines in Australia.

New Gold shares have traded between 94 cents and $9.75 in the past year. Western has ranged from 50 cents to $3.90.

New Gold Reports Consolidated Reserve & Resource Statements

VANCOUVER, March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- New Gold Inc. (News) ("New Gold") (TSX and NYSE Alternext US: NGD) today reports consolidated mineral reserve and resource statements for its mines and development projects as of December 31, 2008. These include updated mineral reserve and resource statements for the Peak and Cerro San Pedro mines, an updated mineral resource statement for the Amapari mine, and previously reported mineral reserve and resource statements for the New Afton development project and the 30% owned El Morro development project.

A consolidated summary of total gold, silver and copper contained within New Gold's global mineral reserves and resources is provided in the table below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Gold Mineral Reserves&Resources Summary as of December 31, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contained Metal ---------------------------------- Gold Silver Copper M oz M oz M lbs ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserves(1)(3)-(6) Proven 2,427 49,929 931 Probable 2,394 4,753 1,819 -------- -------- -------- Total P&P 4,821 54,682 2,750 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resources(2)(7)-(13) Measured 4,437 63,284 2,025 Indicated 3,528 5,574 1,612 -------- -------- -------- Total M&I 7,965 68,858 3,637 Inferred 1,793 1,679 361 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to the mineral reserve and resource statements are provided in a separate table below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Further details of New Gold's mineral reserves and resources for its mines and development projects are provided below and are also available in the respective NI 43-101 Technical Reports referenced below.

Mineral Reserves

The updated mineral reserve statements for the Peak and Cerro San Pedro mines have been calculated based on long-term metal prices of US$750/oz for gold, US$10.00/oz for silver and US$2.00/lb for copper and updated costs for mining and processing at the respective mine operations. The Peak Mines operation is located in New South Wales, Australia and the Cerro San Pedro mine is located in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

Updated mineral reserve statements for the Peak and Cerro San Pedro mines are presented in the table below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mineral Reserve Statement - Peak and Cerro San Pedro Mines as of December 31, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metal Grade Contained Metal ------------------------------------------------------- Tonnes Gold Silver Copper Gold Silver Copper 000's g/t g/t % Koz Koz M lbs ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peak Mine(1)(3)(13) Proven 1,048 3.96 - 0.95 133 - 22 Probable 2,557 4.60 - 0.96 380 - 54 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Peak P&P 3,605 4.41 - 0.96 514 - 76 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cerro San Pedro (1)(4)(13) Proven 69,640 0.55 22.3 - 1,231 49,929 - Probable 2,054 0.52 22.9 - 34 1,512 - ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- CSP P&P 71,694 0.55 22.3 - 1,266 51,441 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to the mineral reserve statements are provided in a separate table below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------

The updated mineral reserve statement for the Peak Mines represents a 40% increase in total contained gold and a 175% increase in total contained copper over mineral reserves reported previously in a March 2007 NI 43-101 Technical Report. These positive increases effectively offset reserve depletion due to mine production during 2007 and 2008 and are due largely to delineation drilling and improved mine design to convert mineral resources to mineral reserves as well as the application of higher metals prices. An updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Peak Mines will be filed within 45 days of this press release.

The updated mineral reserve statement for the Cerro San Pedro mine represents a 17% decrease in both contained gold and silver over mineral reserves reported previously in a March 2007 NI 43-101 Technical Report. These decreases are due entirely to reserve depletion from mining since commercial production commenced in May 2007, consistent with the Cerro San Pedro life-of-mine plan.

Mineral reserve statements for the company's 100% owned New Afton and 30% owned El Morro development projects are presented in the tables below.

The mineral reserve statements for the New Afton and El Morro projects have been reported previously in NI 43-101 Technical Reports completed in May 2007 and May 2008, respectively. The New Afton project is located in British Columbia, Canada. The El Morro project is located in Region III, Chile. New Gold holds a 30% interest in the El Morro project, with project operator Xstrata plc holding the remaining 70% interest.

Mineral Resources

Updated mineral resource statements for the Peak, Cerro San Pedro and Amapari mines and the New Afton and El Morro development projects, inclusive of mineral reserves, as of December 31, 2008, are presented in the table below:

The updated measured and indicated mineral resource statement for the Peak Mines represents an approximate 3 to 5 % increase in total contained gold and an approximate 15 to 20% increase in total contained copper over mineral resources reported previously in a March 2007 NI 43-101 Technical Report. These percentage estimates are an approximation as the previous mineral resource statement for the Peak Mines was presented exclusive of mineral reserves. These increases in contained gold and copper are due largely to exploration and delineation drilling to develop additional resources and upgrade inferred resources to measured and/or indicated status and to the application of higher metal prices used to constrain the mineral resource estimate.

The updated measured and indicated mineral resource statement for the Cerro San Pedro mine represents an approximate 17% decrease in both contained gold and silver over mineral resources reported previously in a March 2007 NI 43-101 Technical Report. As noted in the reserves section above, these decreases are due entirely to resource depletion from mining since commercial production commenced in May 2007, consistent with the Cerro San Pedro life-of-mine plan.

The updated measured and indicated mineral resource statement for the Amapari mine represents an approximate 11% increase in total contained gold over mineral resources reported previously in a September 2007 NI 43-101 Technical Report. This increase is due largely to a combination of remodeling of the deposit and the addition of a significant amount of new delineation drilling information to the mineral resource estimate. No mineral reserves are reported for the Amapari mine following its placement on care and maintenance in January 2009.

The mineral resource statements for the New Afton and El Morro projects have been reported previously in NI 43-101 Technical Reports completed in May 2007 and May 2008 respectively.

New Gold produces 272,046 ounces of gold in 2008

2009-01-22 08:15 ET - News Release

Ms. Melanie Hennessey reports

NEW GOLD EXCEEDS 2008 PRODUCTION GUIDANCE AND PROVIDES 2009 FORECAST

New Gold Inc.'s fourth quarter gold production was 78,950 ounces and 2008 cumulative annual gold production was 272,046 ounces, exceeding previously released guidance by 22,046 ounces. New Gold also provides its 2009 operational forecast. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

The 2008 production and cash cost information below includes results for the period prior to the close of the business combination between New Gold, Peak Gold Ltd. and Metallica Resources Inc. on June 30, 2008, and is based on unaudited figures.

Highlights:

* Gold production of 272,046 ounces in 2008 compared with 239,687 ounces in 2007;
* Total cash cost of $576 per ounce for the fourth quarter for a total of $549 per ounce (net of byproduct sales) for the full year 2008;
* Cerro San Pedro mine in Mexico received the highest safety award granted from the Mexican Chamber of Mines (Camimex) for open pit operations with fewer than 500 employees, and achieved ISO 14001 certification of its environmental management system;
* El Morro, the development project in Chile, entered the permitting stage;
* Full year gold production for 2009 is expected to be between 190,000 and 210,000 ounces;
* Total cash cost for 2009 is expected to be between $465 and $485 per ounce (net of byproduct sales);
* Capital expenditures for 2009 are expected to be $107-million.

"New Gold exceeded production guidance for 2008 with excellent operational performance at Peak Mines and Cerro San Pedro, despite challenging markets and cost pressures. The company made some difficult decisions in 2008 in response to the uncertain market conditions and took the necessary steps to strengthen our financial position and ensure that we are well positioned to deliver on our growth strategy and guidance for 2009," said Robert Gallagher, president and chief executive officer.

Operations overview

Cerro San Pedro

Cerro San Pedro production for the fourth quarter was 21,231 gold ounces and 290,520 silver ounces for a total of 84,561 gold ounces and 1.1 million silver ounces in 2008. Comparative figures for full year 2007 are 26,799 gold ounces and 406,592 silver ounces. Gold sales for the fourth quarter were 21,180 ounces for a total of 85,362 in 2008. Total cash cost for the fourth quarter was $522 per ounce net of byproduct sales and for the full year was $438 per ounce net of byproduct sales. Consistent with the mine plan and previous guidance, cash cost was higher for the fourth quarter due to lower gold and silver production and also as a result of increasing consumable costs.

In recognition of the operation's exemplary safety record in 2008, Cerro San Pedro was awarded the prestigious Casco de Plata (the Silver Hardhat) from Camimex. The award is granted to the safest mining operation in Mexico in the category of open pit operations with fewer than 500 employees. Also, during the fourth quarter, Cerro San Pedro's environmental management system received recognition from the International Organization of Certification achieving ISO 14001 status.

In 2009, Cerro San Pedro is forecasting production of between 90,000 and 100,000 ounces of gold and between 1.1 million and 1.3 million ounces of silver at an estimated cash cost of between $550 and $570 per ounce on a byproduct basis. Cash cost will be higher in 2009 primarily due to a higher strip ratio and anticipated higher consumable costs. Capital expenditures in 2009 are expected to be approximately $2.8-million.

Peak Mines

Peak Mines production for the fourth quarter was 27,618 gold ounces and 2.47 million pounds of copper in the fourth quarter for a total of 100,493 gold ounces and 8.25 million pounds of copper for the year. Comparative figures for 2007 are 116,488 gold ounces and 7.5 million pounds of copper. Gold sales in the fourth quarter were 28,815 ounces for a total of 102,928 ounces in 2008. Peak Mines achieved record mill throughput in 2008 of 768,727 tonnes compared with 709,230 tonnes in 2007 reflecting improved efficiencies in both mine and process operating practices. Peak Mines achieved a milestone in 2008 producing its two millionth ounce of gold since the commissioning of the mine. Total cash cost for the fourth quarter was $624 per ounce net of byproduct sales and for the full year was $477 per ounce net of byproduct sales. Total cash cost was higher net of byproduct sales due to lower than anticipated copper revenues and the impact of the significant decrease in copper price through the quarter. In Australian dollar terms, unit operating costs per tonne for 2008 were only 8 per cent higher than for 2007, despite significantly unfavourable currency movement.

In 2009, Peak Mines is forecasting production of between 90,000 and 100,000 ounces of gold and between 13 million and 15 million pounds of copper. Cash cost is expected to decrease to the range of $370 to $390 per ounce net of byproduct sales due to the significantly higher copper production associated with the transition to the Chesney and Perseverance orebodies. Capital expenditures in 2009 are expected to be approximately $24.5-million, which includes $1.1-million in capitalized exploration.

Amapari

Amapari gold production for the fourth quarter was 30,101 ounces for a total of 86,992 ounces in 2008 compared with 96,400 ounces in 2007. Gold sales for the fourth quarter were 28,199 ounces for a total of 87,411 ounces in 2008. Gold sales decreased year over year due to lower grades, fewer tonnes placed on the leach pads and increased amounts of hard transition ore. Total cash cost for the fourth quarter was $568 per ounce for a total of $748 per ounce in 2008. Total cash cost decreased significantly in the fourth quarter due to higher metal production resulting from improved equipment maintenance and fleet availability.

With the deepening of the pits and associated increase in amount of transitional ore, recent operating improvements would not have been sustainable. As a result, New Gold made the decision to place the mine on care and maintenance. New Gold is undertaking a preliminary economic assessment to evaluate the economics of developing the existing oxide and underlying sulphide resources with a conventional crush/grind/CIL mill. It is expected that this study will be completed in the first quarter of 2009. New Gold will also investigate other strategic alternatives for the Amapari operation.

Production in 2009 will be limited to the leaching of gold from the previously stacked ore, which is expected to yield between 10,000 and 12,000 ounces. All environmental monitoring and continuing remediation programs will continue during this period and beyond, as will continuing exploration programs on New Gold's concessions at Amapari.

New Afton and El Morro development projects

On Nov. 12, 2008, New Gold extended the development timeline at its New Afton project to preserve cash until the required financing to complete the project is secured. New Gold is continuing with underground development to the base of the orebody, including conversion to owner-operator mining crews. New Afton is completing the erection of the mill building and taking delivery of the long lead equipment previously ordered. The current development schedule has full production commencing in the second half of 2012, a 16-month delay from the original, fast-track schedule. In 2009, expenditures at New Afton are expected to be approximately $78.5-million, which includes $19.3-million in interest payments.

The El Morro project entered the permitting stage with the submission of the environmental impact study in the fourth quarter of 2008. It is anticipated that the permit will be obtained within 12 to 18 months.

In summary, the fourth quarter operating performance for both Peak Mines and Amapari was excellent with record mill throughput at Peak Mines and significant cash cost reductions at Amapari. Overall operating performance in 2008 at Cerro San Pedro was notable in its first full year of operation; gold production was lower in the fourth quarter due to planned mining of lower grade ore. Consolidated total cash cost, net of byproduct sales, was adversely impacted in the fourth quarter and for the year due to lower production and prices of byproduct copper and silver.

2009 guidance

New Gold is forecasting 2009 gold production of between 190,000 and 210,000 ounces at a cash cost between $465 and $485 per ounce net of byproduct sales.

Assumptions used in the 2009 forecast include gold, copper and silver prices of $750 per ounce, $2.00 per pound and $10.00 per ounce, respectively, and Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and Mexican peso exchange rates of 90 cents, 70 cents and $12.00 to the U.S. dollar, respectively.

For each operation, 2008 actual gold production and 2009 forecast gold production are in the table.

Capital expenditures for 2009 are expected to be approximately $107-million with $78.5-million (including capitalized interest) allocated to continued development of the New Afton project and $24.5-million allocated to Peak Mines. Expensed exploration for 2009 is expected to be approximately $6.2-million. Corporate general and administration costs are expected to be approximately $13.7-million.

Hallo!

gestern haben die sich ja schon ordentlich von der 1 CAD Grenze entfernt.

Bin gespannt, wie weit sie jetzt kurzfristig läuft.

Die Bewertung zur Zeit: circa 350 Mio CAD. bei 250.000 Unzen/Jahr

Ich finde ziemlich günstig.

Was meint ihr dazu im Verhältnis zu anderen mittelgroßen Produzenten?

Wie findet ihr noch Centerra gold?

die schlechten nachrichten sind ja nun raus. was der kurs bei knapp über 1 usd macht ist mir rätselhaft.
finde die vorsicht nicht schlecht. nötig hätten sie es ja nicht. aber die überleber werden eben die großen gewinner sein, da ist ein hohes mass an sicherheit auch für new gold nicht falsch

schade dass der thread irgendwie gestorben ist.
ich versuch´s hier mit nem kleinen nachkauf
