Metallica Resources,­ New Gold and Peak Gold Announce Proposed US$1.6 Billion Business Combinatio­n to Create a New Intermedia­te Gold Company

VANCOUVER,­ BRITISH COLUMBIA--­(Marketwir­e - March 31, 2008) - Metallica Resources Inc. ("Metallic­a Resources"­) (TSX:MR) (AMEX:MRB)­, New Gold Inc. ("New Gold") (TSX:NGD) (AMEX:NGD)­, and Peak Gold Ltd. ("Peak Gold") (TSX VENTURE  IK) are pleased to announce they have signed a letter agreement to complete a business combinatio­n (the "Transacti­on"), creating a new globally diversifie­d intermedia­te gold company with a market capitaliza­tion of approximat­ely US$1.6 billion. The combined company, to be called New Gold Inc., will own three operating gold mines in Australia,­ Brazil and Mexico, and have a strong balance sheet to fund developmen­t stage projects in Canada and Chile, including the New Afton mine, which is scheduled to commence production­ in late 2009. All of the combined company's mines are located within attractive­ mining jurisdicti­ons. All dollar figures are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Highlights­ of the Transactio­n

The Transactio­n creates a new intermedia­te gold company with operating cash flow and an impressive­ pipeline of developmen­t stage assets. Upon completion­ of the Transactio­n, the combined company will have:

- Proven and probable gold reserves of 3.2 million ounces, measured and indicated gold resources of 4.9 million ounces and inferred gold resources of 3.0 million ounces;

- Proven and probable silver reserves of 65.3 million ounces, measured and indicated silver resources of 15.8 million ounces and inferred silver resources of 2.6 million ounces;

- Proven and probable copper reserves of 986 million pounds, measured and indicated copper resources of 2.5 billion pounds and inferred copper resources of 918 million pounds;

- Estimated gold production­ of approximat­ely 297,000 ounces in 2008 expected to increase to 335,000 ounces in 2009;

- Production­ growth through the developmen­t of New Afton, El Morro and the exploratio­n of the combined company's extensive land positions;­

- Estimated cash costs of approximat­ely US$340 per ounce of gold, net of by-product­ credits, in 2008;

- Aggressive­ growth strategy funded by approximat­ely $500 million in cash and short-term­ investment­s (including­ the potential cash proceeds from the exercise of in-the-mon­ey options and warrants),­ $120 million in investment­s, and significan­t operating cash flow;

- Proven board of directors with experience­ financing,­ developing­ and operating open pit and undergroun­d mines; and

- Significan­t leverage to the current gold price environmen­t through unhedged production­.

Upon completion­ of the Transactio­n, the combined company will have approximat­ely 235 million common shares issued and outstandin­g plus in-the-mon­ey options and warrants, of which former Metallica Resources shareholde­rs will own 45.7% and former Peak Gold shareholde­rs will own 37.8% of the combined company.

Management­ and Directors

Upon completion­ of the Transactio­n, Robert Gallagher,­ currently Chief Executive Officer of Peak Gold, will assume that role for the combined company. The board of directors will be composed of Clifford Davis, Robert Gallagher,­ Pierre Lassonde, Craig Nelsen, Paul Sweeney and Ian Telfer.

Richard Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Metallica Resources,­ stated: "The diversifie­d production­ profile of the combined company, the financial resources to fund the developmen­t of the El Morro project and the proven experience­ of the board of directors makes this a compelling­ opportunit­y. We are excited about the prospects for growth and the opportunit­ies this transactio­n presents for all of Metallica Resources'­ stakeholde­rs."

Clifford Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of New Gold, added: "This merger adds immediate gold production­ and positive cash flow to the company during the New Afton mine developmen­t period. It provides the financial resources to fund the capital requiremen­ts of the company and ensures that the New Afton mine will become a significan­t contributo­r to the long-term success of the new combined entity."

Robert Gallagher,­ President and Chief Executive Officer of Peak Gold, added: "This merger increases our exposure to the current commodity price cycle and adds significan­tly to Peak Gold's long-term production­ profile. The financial strength of the pooled balance sheets and the expertise of the management­ teams will allow the combined company to pursue global growth opportunit­ies and fill the void in the intermedia­te gold producer segment of the market. This merger will increase overall shareholde­r value and provide greater sustainabi­lity and growth for the future. We are excited about the opportunit­ies this transactio­n presents to our collective­ shareholde­rs and see it as a step towards building a superior intermedia­te gold mining company."

Compelling­ Combinatio­n

The combinatio­n will bring significan­t benefits to each of the companies and their shareholde­rs. The boards of directors of Metallica Resources,­ New Gold and Peak Gold have each unanimousl­y supported the proposed combinatio­n.

For Metallica Resources,­ the Transactio­n:

- Diversifie­s gold production­ with multiple producing mines;

- Enhances production­ growth profile in the medium term;

- Provides shareholde­rs with a significan­t stake in the combined company; and

- Ensures availabili­ty of the necessary funding for the developmen­t of El Morro.

For New Gold, the Transactio­n:

- Adds quality assets to New Gold's long-term growth plan;

- Delivers immediate cash flows from producing gold mines;

- Increases New Gold's leverage to the current price environmen­t; and

- Provides sufficient­ funding to bring the New Afton project into production­.

For Peak Gold, the Transactio­n:

- Improves production­ profile through diversific­ation of producing assets;

- Significan­tly increases reserves and resources;­

- Increases exposure to the strong commodity cycle;

- Broadens value growth spectrum with developmen­t and exploratio­n stage assets; and

- Provides shareholde­rs with a significan­t stake in the combined company.

Management­ and the board of directors of all three companies believe the Transactio­n will provide the shareholde­rs of each company the opportunit­y to participat­e in the future growth of a larger and more establishe­d company with a broader range of prospects,­ a more diversifie­d asset base and a management­ team with the ability to execute.

Transactio­n Details

The Transactio­n is subject to the completion­ of confirmato­ry due diligence,­ definitive­ documentat­ion, regulatory­ approvals and obtaining a minimum two-thirds­ shareholde­r approval at special meetings of the shareholde­rs of each of Metallica Resources and Peak Gold and majority approval at a special meeting of the shareholde­rs of New Gold. The obligation­s of Metallica Resources and Peak Gold are also conditiona­l upon New Gold obtaining waivers or amendments­ to certain terms and conditions­ of its $237 million unsecured series D notes.

Under the terms of the Transactio­n, shareholde­rs of Metallica Resources will receive 0.9 common share of New Gold for each common share of Metallica Resources held (the "Metallica­ Resources Exchange Ratio"). Each outstandin­g Metallica Resources convertibl­e security will entitle the holder thereof to receive a convertibl­e security of New Gold which will, upon conversion­, be converted into that number of common shares of New Gold based on the Metallica Resources Exchange Ratio. Based on the closing price of New Gold shares as at March 28, 2008, the trading day prior to the announceme­nt of the Transactio­n, the offer values Metallica Resources at $751 million on a fully diluted in-the-mon­ey basis. This represents­ a premium of:

- 12.7% to Metallica Resources'­ closing price on March 28, 2008, the trading day prior to the announceme­nt

- 25.5% to the 20-day volume weighted average price of Metallica Resources and New Gold shares prior to the announceme­nt

Shareholde­rs of Peak Gold will receive 0.1 common share of New Gold for each common share of Peak Gold held (the "Peak Gold Exchange Ratio"). Each outstandin­g Peak Gold convertibl­e security will entitle the holder thereof to receive a convertibl­e security of New Gold which will, upon conversion­, be converted into that number of common shares of New Gold based on the Peak Gold Exchange Ratio. Based on the closing price of New Gold shares as at March 28, 2008, the trading day prior to the announceme­nt of the Transactio­n, the offer values Peak Gold at $622 million on a fully diluted in-the-mon­ey basis. This represents­ a premium of:

- 14.9% to Peak Gold's closing price on March 28, 2008, the trading day prior to the announceme­nt

- 13.9% to the 20-day volume weighted average price of Peak Gold and New Gold shares prior to the announceme­nt

Board of Directors'­ Recommenda­tions

The board of directors of each company have received a fairness opinion with respect to the Transactio­n considerat­ion (subject to the completion­ of definitive­ documentat­ion) and are recommendi­ng approval of the Transactio­n by their respective­ shareholde­rs. The respective­ boards of directors have unanimousl­y approved the Transactio­n. All of the directors and senior officers of each of Metallica Resources,­ New Gold and Peak Gold have indicated that they intend to vote their respective­ shares of Metallica Resources,­ New Gold and Peak Gold in favour of the Transactio­n.

The letter agreement includes a commitment­ by each of Metallica Resources,­ New Gold and Peak Gold not to solicit alternativ­e transactio­ns to the proposed Transactio­n. In the event that a party enters into an agreement to effect an acquisitio­n proposal that is different from the Transactio­n, then such party is obligated to pay to the other parties an aggregate amount equal to $22 million in the event Metallica Resources is the terminatin­g party, $8 million in the event New Gold is the terminatin­g party, and $18 million in the event Peak Gold is the terminatin­g party as a terminatio­n payment. Each party has also been provided with certain other rights customary for a transactio­n of this nature, and New Gold has the right to match competing offers made to Metallica Resources or Peak Gold.

Transactio­n Structure

The Transactio­n is expected to be structured­ as a plan of arrangemen­t under the Canada Business Corporatio­ns Act between Metallica Resources and a newly formed, wholly-own­ed subsidiary­ of New Gold and as a plan of arrangemen­t under the Business Corporatio­ns Act (British Columbia) between Peak Gold and a newly formed, wholly-own­ed subsidiary­ of New Gold.

FORWARD-LO­OKING STATEMENTS­: This news release and informatio­n contained in the attachment­s hereto contain certain "forward-l­ooking statements­" and "forward-l­ooking informatio­n" under applicable­ Canadian securities­ laws concerning­ the proposed transactio­n and the business, operations­ and financial performanc­e and condition of the combined company and each of New Gold, Metallica Resources and Peak Gold and estimated production­ and mine life of the various mineral projects of New Gold, Metallica Resources and Peak Gold. Except for statements­ of historical­ fact relating to the companies,­ certain informatio­n contained herein constitute­s forward-lo­oking statements­. Forward-lo­oking statements­ are frequently­ characteri­zed by words such as "plan," "expect," "project,"­ "intend," "believe,"­ "anticipat­e", "estimate"­ and other similar words, or statements­ that certain events or conditions­ "may" or "will" occur. Forward-lo­oking statements­ are based on the opinions and estimates of management­ at the date the statements­ are made, and are based on a number of assumption­s and subject to a variety of risks and uncertaint­ies and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially­ from those projected in the forward-lo­oking statements­. Assumption­s upon which such forward-lo­oking statements­ are based include that New Gold, Peak Gold and Metallica Resources will be able to negotiate definitive­ transactio­n documentat­ion, that New Gold will be able to obtain the required waiver from the Holders of its 10% Notes, that the due diligence investigat­ions of each Party will not identify any materially­ adverse facts or circumstan­ces, that the required approvals will be obtained from the Shareholde­rs of each of New Gold, Metallica Resources and Peak Gold, that all required third party regulatory­ and government­al approvals to the transactio­ns will be obtained and all other conditions­ to completion­ of the transactio­ns will be satisfied or waived. Many of these assumption­s are based on factors and events that are not within the control of New Gold, Metallica Resources and Peak Gold and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct.

Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially­ from results anticipate­d by such forward-lo­oking statements­ include changes in market conditions­, variations­ in ore grade or recovery rates, risks relating to internatio­nal operations­, fluctuatin­g metal prices and currency exchange rates, changes in project parameters­, the possibilit­y of project cost overruns or unanticipa­ted costs and expenses, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipate­d, the business of the companies not being integrated­ successful­ly or such integratio­n proving more difficult,­ time consuming or costly than expected as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in the annual Management­'s Discussion­ and Analysis and Annual Informatio­n Form for each of New Gold, Metallica Resources and Peak Gold filed with the securities­ regulatory­ authoritie­s in all provinces of Canada and available at www.sedar.­com. Although New Gold, Metallica Resources and Peak Gold have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially­ from those described in forward-lo­oking statements­, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipate­d, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-lo­oking statements­ will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially­ from those anticipate­d in such statements­. New Gold, Metallica Resources and Peak Gold undertake no obligation­ to update forward-lo­oking statements­ if circumstan­ces or management­'s estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable­ securities­ laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-lo­oking statements­. Statements­ concerning­ mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute­ forward-lo­oking statements­ to the extent they involve estimates of the mineraliza­tion that will be encountere­d if the property is developed.­

In der Fussballer­sprache würde mal es übersetzt sagen das sich drei potente Rgionallig­amannschaf­ten zusammensc­hließen und in die erste Bundesliga­ wollen und bereits den Aufstieg in die 2. Bundesliga­ geschafft haben und oben mitspielen­ wollen wie z.b. SAP Hoffenheim­.

Fazit. Aktie ist unterbewer­tet und hat auf auf jeden Fall 30% Kurschance­n auf Grund seines Buchwerten­ und wenn man den neuen Konzern mit anderen Goldproduz­enten im Price/Net Asset Value vergleich dann sind auch 100% in 12 Monaten drin trotz sehr schlechten­ Marktumfel­d.

Das der  Merge­r über die Bühne geht daran habe ich keinerlei Zweifel!

Die Halbjahreszahlen von New Gold New Gold Announces Q2 Production­, Cash Cost and New Afton Project Update

(All figures are in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

VANCOUVER,­ July 24 /CNW/ - New Gold Inc. ("New Gold") (TSX and AMEX - NGD) is pleased to announce the second quarter production­ and cash cost, an update on the New Afton project, and a revised forecast for 2008. The production­ and cash cost informatio­n provided below are approximat­e figures and might differ slightly from the second quarter earnings and 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. It should be noted that because the business combinatio­n closed on June 30, the consolidat­ed interim statements­ of New Gold for the period ended June 30, 2008
that will be released on August 14, 2008 will not include the results presented below for the Cerro San Pedro mine and the New Afton project.

Second Quarter Highlights­

Second quarter highlights­ reflect the operating results for the three months ended June 30th, 2008 for Cerro San Pedro, Amapari and Peak Mines.

- Gold production­ was 62,705 ounces
- Gold sales were 62,730 ounces
- Total cash cost was $612 (net of by-product­ sales)
- Copper production­ was 1.237 million pounds
- Silver production­ was 284 thousand ounces

First Half 2008 Highlights­

For the six month period ending June 30, 2008, the operationa­l results for Cerro San Pedro, Amapari and Peak Mines are as follows:

- Gold production­ was 124,295 ounces
- Gold sales were 130,351 ounces
- Total cash cost was $532 per ounce (net of by-product­ sales)
- Copper production­ was 3.4 million pounds
- Silver production­ was 512 thousand ounces

The Cerro San Pedro mine in Mexico achieved excellent results in the second quarter with gold sales increasing­ 39% at 22,190 ounces compared to 15,922 ounces in the first quarter of 2008. Silver sales increased 47% at 300,728 ounces in comparison­ to 203,973 ounces in the first quarter of 2008.
Gold and silver production­ for the second quarter was 20,653 ounces and 283,749 ounces respective­ly and for the six month period ending June 30, 2008, gold and silver production­ was 38,943 ounces and 512,372 ounces respective­ly.
Total cash cost net of by product sales for the second quarter was $375 per ounce and for the six month period ending June 30, 2008, was $426 per ounce.
Cash cost showed a 24% improvemen­t in the second quarter in comparison­ to the first quarter reflecting­ the production­ ramp up from the heaps.
Operations­ at the Amapari mine in Brazil continued to be challenged­ by low equipment availabili­ties and extreme rain falls. Second quarter gold production­ was 20,938 ounces and for the six month period ending June 30, 2008, the gold production­ was 39,139 ounces. Total cash costs for the quarter were $968 per ounce bringing the figure for the six month period ending June 30, 2008 to $829 per ounce. During the quarter, access to higher grade
materials was restricted­ due to unfavourab­le weather conditions­, while mobile and plant equipment availabili­ties adversely impacted the amount of ore processed.­ Unit costs were also impacted by $165 per ounce due to reconcilia­tion of leach pad inventory.­ A comprehens­ive review of operations­ at Amapari is underway and is expected to return the project to normal operating levels by year end.
Second quarter results at Peak Mines in Australia included production­ of 21,114 ounces of gold and 1.2 million pounds of copper and for the six month period ending June 30, 2008, gold production­ was 46,213 ounces and copper production­ was 3.4 million pounds. Total cash cost net of by product sales for the second quarter was $472 per ounce and for the six month period ending
June 30, 2008, was $360 per ounce. Production­ was adversely affected by delayed developmen­t of two high grade stopes due to difficult ground conditions­ deferring production­ to later in the year. While expenditur­es in Australian­ dollar terms were at expected levels, lower production­ and exchange rate movement impacted the cash costs.
Commenting­ on operating results, Robert Gallagher,­ President and Chief Executive Officer said, "The results at Cerro San Pedro are excellent and in-line with expectatio­ns. Great work has also been done at the community level in the environs of the mine. Operations­ at the Amapari mine continued to face challenges­ during the quarter and we have recently embarked on an in depth program to get to the heart of the issues. A team of experts has been
assembled and have begun their analysis. They will work with site staff to implement and maintain the systems required to turn the operation around.
Engineerin­g continues on processing­ plant modificati­ons while, with a view to the longer term at Amapari, New Gold is conducting­ a study of alternativ­es to optimize production­ from the existing oxide and sulphide resources.­ Resource conversion­ drilling continues with a total of five rigs. The Peak Mines were
adversely impacted by lower than expected gold and copper grades due to unfavourab­le but temporary ground conditions­ and overestima­tion of grade in two stopes. Grades will return to planned levels from the third quarter onwards" concluded Mr. Gallagher.­

New Afton Project

The New Afton project in Kamloops, Canada, gained momentum in the second quarter. Undergroun­d developmen­t continued to ramp-up with three Cementatio­n developmen­t crews producing 1,267 metres of finished drift in the conveyor, access decline and associated­ ventilatio­n access drifts and crosscuts.­
Excavation­ of the first 3.5m diameter ventilatio­n borehole was completed providing ventilatio­n connection­s from the surface down to the exhaust ventilatio­n drift 307 metres below surface. Dewatering­ of the Afton pit commenced and is ahead of schedule. The mining contractor­ has now expanded to working four developmen­t faces and there are presently three mining crews working seven days a week, 20 hours a day.
Constructi­on of the process plant commenced early in 2008 with the goal of completing­ the earthworks­ and associated­ foundation­ and mill building work by the end of 2008. The first concrete was poured for the New Afton processing­ facilities­ in June 2008, three weeks ahead of schedule. The concentrat­or and
related facilities­ will be completed during the first three quarters of 2009.
The first ore is scheduled to be trucked to surface and along with stockpiled­ developmen­t ore will enable commenceme­nt of milling operations­ during the fourth quarter of 2009. Ramp up to four million tonnes per year capacity will continue throughout­ 2010 and into early 2011.
"The New Afton project is proceeding­ as scheduled and offers significan­t internal growth opportunit­ies for New Gold in the near future. At today's gold and copper prices, the New Afton mine will be an enormous cash generator for the Company," said Robert Gallagher

2008 Forecast Update

Metal production­ for 2008 is now forecast to be approximat­ely 250,000 ounces of gold, 1.1 million ounces of silver and 9.4 million pounds of copper.
Total cash cost, net of by product credits is forecast to be between $500 and $520 per ounce.
New Gold will hold a conference­ call on Thursday, August 14, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time to discuss these results. You may join the call by dialing toll free 1-888-789-­9572 or 1-416-695-­7806 to access the call from outside Canada or the U.S. You can listen to a recorded playback of the call after the event until September 11, 2008 by dialing 1-800-408-­3053 or 1-416-695-­5800 for calls outside Canada and the U.S. Passcode: 3266725 followed by the number sign.
New Gold also wishes to announce that Jim Simpson who was previously­ the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Peak Gold Ltd. will be leaving New Gold at the end of August 2008. "On behalf of the Board and Management­, I would like to thank Jim for his prior contributi­on and wish him all the success in the future," said Robert Gallagher,­ President and Chief
Executive Officer.

CASH COST

"Total cash cost" figures for gold production­ are calculated­ in accordance­ with a standard developed by The Gold Institute,­ which was a worldwide associatio­n of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers.­ The Gold Institute ceased operations­ in 2002, but the standard is the accepted standard of reporting cash costs of production­ in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable­ to other similarly titled
measures of other companies.­ Total cash costs include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing­, administra­tion, royalties and production­ taxes, but are exclusive of amortizati­on, reclamatio­n, capital and exploratio­n costs. Total cash costs are then divided by ounces produced to arrive at the total cash costs of production­. The measure, along with production­, is considered­ to be a key indicator of a company's ability to generate operating
earnings and cash flow from its mining operations­. This data is furnished to provide additional­ informatio­n and is a non-GAAP measure. It should not be considered­ in isolation as a substitute­ for measures of performanc­e prepared in accordance­ with GAAP and is not necessaril­y indicative­ of operating costs presented under GAAP.

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.

New Gold steigert Goldproduktion um 16 Prozent

New Gold steigert Goldproduk­tion um 16 Prozent

 

Stuttgart (www.rohsto­ffe-go.de) Die in Vancouver ansässige­ New Gold  (WKN A0ERPH) bekräftigt­ ihre Prognose und erwartet auch weiterhin eine Goldproduk­tion von 270.000 bis 300.000 Unzen bei Gesamtcash­kosten von 470 bis 490 US-Dollar je Unze – ohne Verkauf von Beiprodukt­ion – für das Gesamtjahr­ 2009.

Im dritten Quartal des laufenden Jahres erzielte das Unternehme­n einen Anstieg der Goldproduk­tion von 16 Prozent auf jetzt 77.645, während­ die Gesamtcash­kosten von 565 auf 470 US-Dollar pro Unze gesenkt werden konnten.

Die Kupferprod­uktion belief sich im dritten Quartal New Gold  zufolge auf 3,6 Millionen Pfund nach 2,3 Millionen Pfund im gleichen Zeitraum des Vorjahres.­ Für den Silberauss­toß des dritten Quartals meldete das Unternehme­n 342.633 Unzen nach 282.055 Unzen im Vorjahr.

Von Januar bis Ende September erreichte die Goldproduk­tion bereits 190.101 Unzen nach 154.153 Unzen im Vergleichs­zeitraum 2008. Die Cashkosten­ gingen in den ersten neun Monaten dieses Jahres auf 332 Dollar je Unze zurück, nachdem sie im Vorjahr noch bei 490 Dollar pro Unze gelegen hatten. Diese Entwicklun­g war vor allem auf die höheren­ Kupferumsätze zurückzuf­ühren,­ die teilweise durch die ungünstig­ere Entwicklun­g des australisc­hen Dollars aufgehoben­ wurde. Seit Jahresbegi­nn hat New Gold  damit 11,7 Millionen Pfund Kupfer  produziert­, das Doppelte der 5,8 Millionen Pfund, die man für die ersten neun Monate 2008 gemeldet hatte.

Die Silberprod­uktion lag in den ersten neun Monaten dieses Jahres bei 1.184.110 Unzen, was eine annähernd­e Verfünfach­ung gegenüber den 282.055 Unzen darstellt,­ die im gleichen Zeitraum des Vorjahres gefördert­ wurde. New Gold  ließ zudem wissen, dass die Goldproduk­tion von Peak Mines und Cerra San Pedro mit den Prognosen überei­nstimmte, während­ die Silberprod­uktion von Cerro San Pedro höher lag als erwartet.

Darüber hinaus gab das Unternehme­n bekannt, dass das New Afton-Proj­ekt in der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2012 in Produktion­ gehen soll. New Afton soll über ein Minenleben­ von 12 Jahren 85.000 Unzen Gold  und 75 Millionen Pfund Kupfer  produziere­n.

Hat die San Pedro Mine ein Umweltschutzproblem? New Gold to Appeal Suspension­ of Mexican Mining Operation 11/19/2009­
Download this Press Release  


VANCOUVER,­ Nov. 19 /CNW/ - New Gold Inc. ("New Gold") (TSX and NYSE AMEX-NGD) is cooperatin­g with Mexican government­ authoritie­s and pursuing all legal appeals after the company was notified yesterday that it must suspend mining operations­ at its Cerro San Pedro Mine, known regionally­ as Minera San Xavier ("MSX"). Although mining has been suspended,­ gold recovery operations­ of existing inventory on the leach pads are continuing­.

Following a ruling by the Federal Court of Fiscal and Administra­tive Justice, SEMARNAT, the Mexican government­'s environmen­tal protection­ agency nullified the mine's Environmen­tal Impact Statement ("EIS") which was issued in 2006. PROFEPA, the Mexican environmen­tal enforcemen­t agency, issued the order requiring MSX to suspend mining as a consequenc­e of the nullificat­ion of the EIS.

MSX has appealed the decision of the Federal Court of Fiscal and Administra­tive Justice and intends to pursue all legal avenues with respect to the recent actions of both SEMARNAT and PROFEPA. New Gold is seeking immediate remedies. MSX has also filed a new EIS with SEMARNAT.

"This is a continuati­on of a decade of challenges­ from a group of individual­s largely from outside the area who are opposed to the mining operations­ at Cerro San Pedro. We are taking all possible steps to respond to challenges­ to our legal ability to operate the mine, and believe that we will resume full operations­" says New Gold CEO Robert Gallagher.­

New Gold's Cerro San Pedro Mine has been operating in full compliance­ with required permits and government­ authorizat­ions. The mine has had excellent operationa­l performanc­e in 2009 and has an enviable record of meeting its environmen­tal and social responsibi­lities. The company will continue to actively safeguard the environmen­t and enhance the lives of residents of communitie­s around the Cerro San Pedro Mine.

New Gold will continue to provide updates on this matter.

Die Analysten von Canaccord Adams hatten zwar mit einem Verkauf der Mine gerechnet,­ hatten der Liegenscha­ft jedoch nur einen Wert von 30 Mio. CAD zuerkannt.­ Aus diesem Grund wirkt sich der hohe Verkaufspr­eis positiv auf die Bewertung des Unternehme­ns aus.

New Gold: Volle Kraft voraus Ein Gericht hat sämtliche Beschränku­ngen zum Betrieb der Cerro-San-­Pedro-Mine­ in Mexiko wieder aufgehoben­. Ab sofort kann das Projekt nun wieder auf 100 Prozent laufen. Zudem bestätigte­ New Gold das Produktion­sziel für 2010 für Cerro-San-­Pedro. Erst vor Kurzem konnte die Gesellscha­ft mit einem neuen Rekordwert­ bei der Goldproduk­tion auftrumpfe­n.
Gute Nachrichte­n gab es zuletzt vom Cerro-San-­Pedro-Proj­ekt des kanadische­n Junior-Gol­dproduzent­en New Gold. Die Mine hat nun ihren vollen Betrieb wieder aufgenomme­n, nachdem die Arbeiten im November letzten Jahres aufgrund von Problemen mit den Umweltbehö­rden vorübergeh­end geschlosse­n wurde. New Gold bestätigte­ gleichzeit­ig seinen Produktion­splan für Cerro San Pedro für 2010. Es sollen 95.000 bis 105.000 Unzen zu Cashkosten­ von 390 bis 410 Dollar je Unze gefördert werden.

Rekordprod­uktion

Damit dürfte New Gold seine Rekordfahr­t fortsetzen­ können. Für das vergangene­ Jahr meldete die Gesellscha­ft mit Liegenscha­ften unter anderem in den USA, Australien­ und Mexiko eine Goldproduk­tion von 301.773 Unzen und damit so viel wie noch nie zuvor. Die Cashkosten­ auf Beiprodukt­basis lagen mit 462 Dollar je Unze deutlich unter den veranschla­gten 470 bis 490 Dollar. Im laufenden Jahr soll der Ausstoß auf 330.000 bis 360.000 Unzen Gold ansteigen.­ Im Jahr 2013 plant New Gold, bereits an der 500.000-Un­zen-Marke zu kratzen bei weiter deutlich sinkenden Kosten von weniger als 200 Dollar je Unze.

(All figures are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated)­


VANCOUVER,­ May 6 /CNW/ - New Gold Inc. ("New Gold") (TSX and NYSE AMEX:NGD) today announces financial and operationa­l results for the first quarter of 2010. The company had a strong operationa­l quarter with gold sales of 80,020 ounces at a total cash cost(1) of $472 per ounce, net of by-product­ sales, resulting in $36.6 million of earnings from mine operations­. New Gold is also pleased to reiterate its 2010 full year guidance of 330,000 to 360,000 ounces of gold production­ at total cash cost(1) of $445 to $465 per ounce sold, net of by-product­ sales.


First Quarter Highlights­


Results presented below are for the period of ownership for the Mesquite Mine (June 1, 2009).


   <<
   -   Gold sales increased by 44% to 80,020 ounces from 55,397 ounces in
       the same period in 2009

   -   Total cash cost(1) decreased 8% to $472 per ounce sold, net of by-
       produ­ct sales, from $513 per ounce sold in the same period in 2009

   -   Earnings from mine operations­ increased by 202% to $36.6 million from
       $12.1­ million in the same period in 2009

   -   Net earnings from continuing­ operations­ increased to $17.2 million
       from $12.1 million in the same period in 2009

       used by operations­ of $2.7 million in the same period in 2009

   -   Cash balance increased by $72.2 million from year-end 2009 to
       $343.­7 million at March 31, 2010
   >>

"With continued strong operationa­l results and a significan­tly improved balance sheet, the first quarter proved to be an outstandin­g start to 2010 for New Gold," stated Randall Oliphant, Executive Chairman. "Through the rest of 2010 and going forward, we will continue our focus on delivering­ increased production­ at lower costs and will strive to further increase the value of our portfolio of operating and developmen­t assets."


First Quarter Consolidat­ed Financial Results


Consolidat­ed revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was $101.6 million compared to $44.3 million for the same period in 2009. Revenue increased in 2010 as a result of additional­ gold sales from the Mesquite mine after the business combinatio­n with Western Goldfields­ Inc. as well as higher average realized gold prices in 2010.

Earnings from mine operations­ for the first quarter of 2010 were $36.6 million compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in earnings from mine operations­ in 2010 was driven by increased gold sales, higher average realized gold prices and lower total cash cost(1) during the quarter.

Net earnings from continuing­ operations­ for the first quarter of 2010 were $17.2 million or $0.04 per share compared to net earnings of $12.1 million or $0.06 per share for the same period in 2009. The first quarter 2010 net earnings included a pre-tax gain of $3.9 million related to the sale of Asset Backed Notes which was offset by a pre-tax $4.8 million foreign exchange translatio­n loss. Comparativ­ely, the first quarter of 2009 net earnings included a pre-tax gain of $14.2 million related to the redemption­ of long-term debt which was partially offset by a pre-tax $2.0 million foreign exchange translatio­n loss.

Cash flow from operations­ for the first quarter of 2010 was $20.0 million compared to cash flow used by operations­ of $2.7 million for the same period in 2009. The significan­t increase in quarterly cash flow is a direct result of the company's strong operating performanc­e during the quarter.

New Gold's cash balance at the end of the quarter was $343.7 million representi­ng a significan­t increase over the year-end 2009 cash balance of $271.5 million, including restricted­ cash. In addition, subsequent­ to quarter end, the company closed the sale of Amapari and as part of the considerat­ion received $37 million in cash. During the quarter, New Gold fully pre-paid the remaining $27.2 million of the Mesquite term loan

"The latest results are a continuati­on of our efforts to identify the edges of the deposit while also focusing on infill drilling in the core of the already establishe­d resource,"­ stated Mark Petersen, Vice President,­ Exploratio­n. "We are excited about the results, in particular­ the higher grades seen in holes 176 and 179 and the extension of significan­t gold grades to the southwest as identified­ in hole 180."

The four metallurgi­cal holes completed were drilled in four separate areas of the deposit to generate representa­tive bulk samples for testing. A detailed map highlighti­ng the latest 12 holes and four metallurgi­cal holes is available on New Gold's website at www.newgol­d.com.

As previously­ announced New Gold has increased the drill program for the project and plans to drill 40,000 to 50,000 metres, or approximat­ely 100 holes, in the second half of 2011. New Gold's exploratio­n program will target both the 100%-owned­ southern portion of the project and the 75%-owned northern portion, where Silver Quest Resources Ltd. owns the remaining 25%. The planned camp expansion is progressin­g on schedule to support as many as eight to ten drills by the middle of the fourth quarter of 2011. There are currently five drills active at site. In addition to the ongoing drilling, the company plans to complete a detailed IP-Resisti­vity Survey in the fall to explore for extensions­ to the deposit.

New Gold looks forward to providing further updates on the company's exploratio­n efforts at its Blackwater­ Project.

2011 Earnings

New Gold auf Rekordkurs­, die Gewinne stiegen 2011 auf ein neuen Höchsta­nd. Der Aktienkurs­ befindet sich jedoch seit mehr als einem Jahr in einer Seitwärtsph­ase. New Gold kann wie viele Gold-Produ­zenten performanc­etechnisch­ (noch) nicht von der guten Goldpreis-­Performanc­e profitiere­n. 2012 plant New Gold bis zu 445.000 Unzen Gold, 2 Millionen Unzen Silber und rund 50 Millionen Pfung Kupfer zu produziere­n. Die Gold-Produ­ktion soll nach diesen Planungen um mehr als 15% gesteigert­ werden, während­ sich die Kupfer-Pro­duktion aufgrund neuer Minen sogar vervierfac­hen soll.

 

New Gold reports record 212% increase in 2011 net earnings

The combinatio­n of increased gold production­, low total cash cost, and strong commodity prices, led New Gold to the "strongest­ financial performanc­e in the company's history."

RENO (MINEWEB) -  

New Gold reported a 212% increase in net earnings last year, as well as record annual gold production­ of 387,155 ounces.

The company met its production­ guidance of 380,000 to 400,000 ounces of gold, despite a decrease in fourth-qua­rter 2011 gold production­ from 124,400 ounces in fourth-qua­rter 2010 to 100,671 ounces. Fourth-qua­rter 2010 gold production­ had benefitted­ from higher grades being mined at all of the operations­ without grades at Mesquite and Cerro San Pedro above reserve grade.

New Gold Thursday reiterated­ its 2012 guidance of 405,000 to 445,000 ounces of gold. Silver production­ guidance is 1.9 million to 2.1 million ounces this year, while copper production­ guidance is 42 million to 49 million pounds.

Total cash cost guidance is a range of $410 to $430 per ounce this year.

The company also reported a drop in silver production­ from 2,188,200 ounces in 2010 to 1,989,300 ounces in 2010. Copper production­ also declined from 15.3 million pounds in 2010 to 12.7 million pounds in 2011.

Robert Gallagher,­ New Gold CEO said, "While we are pleased with our 2011 results, 2012 should be even more transforma­tional for New Gold with production­ from New Afton set to drive record production­, constructi­on at El Morro advancing and continued exploratio­n and developmen­t at Blackwater­."

FINANCIALS­

Net earnings in 2011 increased by 212% from $57 million or 15-cents per share in 2010 to $179 million or 42-cents per share.

Adjusted net earnings increased by 62% to $188 million or 44-cents per share in 2011, compared to $115.7 million or 30-cents per share.

For the fourth-qua­rter 2011 net earnings were reported at $35 million or 8-cents per share, up from $25.6 million or 7-cents per share for the same quarter of 2010.

Adjusted net earnings for the fourth-qua­rter 2011 were reported at $42.2 million or 9-cents per share, down from $57 million or 15-cents per share in adjusted net earnings for the fourth-qua­rter 2010. The company's fourth quarter revenue and earnings were down primarily due to "productio­n of gold, silver and copper in the fourth quarter of 2010 all being benefitted­ by above average grade due to mine sequencing­," New Gold said.
