NEW GOLD EXPANDS OPEN PIT AND UNDERGROUND MINERALIZATION
AT RAINY RIVER, DEMONSTRATES STRONG SUPPORT FOR MINERAL RESOURCES GROWTH
TORONTO, Sept. 11, 2024 /CNW/ - New Gold Inc. ("New
Gold" or the "Company") (TSX: NGD) (NYSE American: NGD) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing Rainy River
exploration program. Over the first eight months of 2024, exploration drilling at Rainy River has proven successful in advancing the Company's
exploration objectives to expand existing resource envelopes, confirm the continuity of potential new mining zones, and grow the mineralized
footprint through new near-mine discoveries. These results are expected to have a positive impact on Rainy River's mineral resource estimate
at year-end 2024 and provide high-quality targets as the foundation of the Company's exploration strategy in the coming years.
"The strong exploration results support our
ongoing exploration strategy and confirm the upside potential remaining at Rainy River" stated Patrick Godin, President and CEO.
"This is our first major drilling campaign since 2017, and it is delivering positive results, confirming that the deposit remains
open at depth and along strike, highlighting the potential for additional underground reserves close to existing infrastructure, while
shallow drilling of near-surface targets demonstrates the potential for additional open pit reserves."
Underground Zones Extended Along Strike and at
Depth, New Gold Mineralization Intersected between Intrepid and Underground Main
Diamond drilling conducted from surface and from underground
confirmed the extension of gold mineralization along strike at Intrepid and down-plunge at the ODM East and 17-East zones of Underground
Main ("UG Main"). In addition, diamond drilling from the connection ramp between Intrepid and UG Main led to the intersection
of sulphide-bearing gold mineralization above current underground mining cut-off grade (1.74 g/t AuEq) and minimum mining width (2.4 metres)
at the Gap Area target.

Continuity of Near-Surface Zones Confirmed, Supporting
the Potential for Additional Open Pit Mineral Resources
Completion of the reverse circulation ("RC")
drilling program confirmed the continuity of near-surface gold mineralization at NW-Trend and 280 Zone, including high-grade gold mineralization
intersections at NW-Trend, providing potential opportunities for additional open pit mining.

Rainy River Exploration Budget Increased by Another
$3 Million to the End of 2024, to Follow Up on the Positive Results
Following the highly encouraging results to date,
the Company intends to allocate an additional $3 million to the 2024 Rainy River exploration program. Following early success in the first
quarter, the Rainy River 2024 exploration budget was increased from $5 million to $9 million, as previously reported. The total budget
for Rainy River exploration will be increased by an additional $3 million for a total of $12 million for 2024. The increased budget at
Rainy River is expected to provide an additional 13,000 metres of drilling by year-end, targeting high priority targets including UG Main
(ODM Main, ODM East, 17 East, and 114-Deep), Gap Area, and Intrepid (Figure 1).
"The exploration successes support the Company's
approach at optimizing net asset value with modest investment, leveraging existing infrastructure," added Mr. Godin. "Over the
past two years, our focus at New Gold has been on operational excellence, project execution, and financial discipline. Both operations
are now consistently delivering while we continue to execute on the above priorities, 2024 marks a renewed focus on adding value through
exploration and these results are a strong step in the right direction."
Rainy River Exploration Drilling Results
This year marks the first major exploration campaign
carried out at Rainy River since mine opening in 2017. As such, several promising targets remain untested. The Rainy River 2024 exploration
program is divided into three main components of equal priority:
| 1. | Test the potential extension of underground ore zones at depth and along strike. |
| 2. | Explore the previously undrilled gap between Intrepid and UG Main. |
| 3. | Follow up on previously drilled near-surface priority targets surrounding the existing Rainy River open pit. |
On the first exploration component, diamond drilling
conducted from surface and from underground confirmed the extension of gold mineralization along strike at Intrepid and down-plunge at
the ODM East and 17 East zones at UG Main. At Intrepid, new drill intersections locally extend the mineralized envelope by approximately
100 metres towards the east, which has the potential to add underground reserves and increase the gold ounces per level. At UG Main, five
boreholes intersected gold mineralization at a depth of up to 850 metres below surface, extending the resource envelopes down-plunge and
confirming continuity of existing ore zones. All zones remain open at depth. The new diamond drilling results are expected to have a positive
impact on underground resources at year-end.
Additionally, diamond drilling conducted from the
underground ramp between Intrepid and UG Main intersected new gold mineralization. UG Main and Intrepid deposits are interpreted to occur
along the same stratigraphic units. However, the 1,000-metre strike length between the two deposits remained mostly undrilled prior to
this year. Borehole RRUG24-0007 intersected gold-bearing sulphide mineralization grading 3.59 g/t gold over 4.50 metres core length (3
metre estimated true width), above current underground cut-off grade and minimum mining width (Figure 3). Additional underground drilling
will focus on exploring the extents of this new mineralized area. All new notable diamond drilling intercepts from Intrepid, ODM East,
17 East, and Gap Area exploration programs are summarized in Tables 1 and 3, and Figure 1 below.
The third exploration component is to define near-surface
mineral resources with the potential to be mined by open pit methods. On review of historical exploration data and following the successful
addition of Phase 5 open pit mineral reserves at year-end 2023, high-quality targets were identified, of which the NW-Trend, or Western
Zone, and 280 Zone were prioritized for RC drilling in 2024. The recently completed RC drilling program proved successful in demonstrating
the near-surface continuity of the targeted gold-mineralized zones. High-grade gold intersections at NW-Trend confirms the continuity
of high-grade gold zones intersected in historical diamond boreholes. At 280 Zone, several gold-mineralized intersections over 10 metres
wide within the first 100 metres below surface confirmed the up-dip continuity of deeper gold zones intersected in historical diamond
boreholes. While the economic viability of these targets is currently under evaluation, further extension of open pit mining has the potential
to defer reclaim of the low-grade stockpile and improve the long-term gold production profile. All notable results from the RC drilling
campaign are summarized in Tables 2 and 4, and Figure 2 below.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information contained in this news release,
including any information relating to New Gold's future financial or operating performance are "forward-looking". All statements
in this news release, other than statements of historical fact, which address events, results, outcomes or developments that New Gold
expects to occur are "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and
are generally, but not always, identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects", "is
expected", "budget", "scheduled", "targeted", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends",
"anticipates", "projects", "potential", "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or
statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might"
or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative connotation of such terms. Forward-looking
statements in this news release include, among others, statements with respect to: expectations regarding exploration results having a
positive impact on the mineral resource estimate at year-end, successfully providing high-quality targets for the coming years and confirming
the upside potential remaining at the Rainy River operations; successfully finding additional underground reserves close to existing infrastructure,
increased gold ounces per level and additional open pit reserves at Rainy River; the potential for finding and taking advantage of additional
open pit and underground mining opportunities at Rainy River; intentions to allocate additional funds to the 2024 Rainy River exploration
program and expected use of and benefit of funds; anticipated future success of the Company, including adding value through exploration
and successfully generating sustained free cash flow moving forward; anticipated focus areas and priorities for the Company's exploration
program and planned exploration activities; successfully accessing a newly discovered mineralized zone from existing underground development
at Rainy River; successfully extending open pit mining, deferring reclaim of the low-grade stockpile and improving the long-term gold
production profile at Rainy River; and successfully advancing the Company's strategic opportunities for mine life extension.
All forward-looking statements in this news release
are based on the opinions and estimates of management that, while considered reasonable as at the date of this press release in light
of management's experience and perception of current conditions and expected developments, are inherently subject to important risk factors
and uncertainties, many of which are beyond New Gold's ability to control or predict. Certain material assumptions regarding such forward-looking
statements are discussed in this news release, New Gold's latest annual MD&A, its most recent annual information form and technical
reports on the Rainy River Mine and New Afton Mine filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. In addition to, and
subject to, such assumptions discussed in more detail elsewhere, the forward-looking statements in this news release are also subject
to the following assumptions: (1) there being no significant disruptions affecting New Gold's operations, including material disruptions
to the Company's supply chain, workforce or otherwise; (2) political and legal developments in jurisdictions where New Gold operates,
or may in the future operate, being consistent with New Gold's current expectations; (3) the accuracy of New Gold's current Mineral Reserve
and Mineral Resource estimates and the grade of gold, silver and copper expected to be mined and the grade of gold, copper and silver
expected to be mined; (4) the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar, and commodity prices being approximately consistent
with current levels and expectations for the purposes of 2024 guidance and otherwise; (5) prices for diesel, natural gas, fuel oil, electricity
and other key supplies being approximately consistent with current levels; (6) equipment, labour and materials costs increasing on a basis
consistent with New Gold's current expectations; (7) arrangements with First Nations and other Indigenous groups in respect of the Rainy
River Mine being consistent with New Gold's current expectations; (8) all required permits, licenses and authorizations being obtained
from the relevant governments and other relevant stakeholders within the expected timelines and the absence of material negative comments
or obstacles during any applicable regulatory processes; and (9) the results of the life of mine plan for the Rainy River Mine described
herein being realized.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on
estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual
results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such factors include, without limitation: price volatility in the spot and forward markets for metals and other commodities;
discrepancies between actual and estimated production, between actual and estimated costs, between actual and estimated Mineral Reserves
and Mineral Resources and between actual and estimated metallurgical recoveries; equipment malfunction, failure or unavailability; accidents;
risks related to early production at the Rainy River Mine, including failure of equipment, machinery, the process circuit or other processes
to perform as designed or intended; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining and
maintaining the validity and enforceability of the necessary licenses and permits and complying with the permitting requirements of each
jurisdiction in which New Gold operates, including, but not limited to: uncertainties and unanticipated delays associated with obtaining
and maintaining necessary licenses, permits and authorizations and complying with permitting requirements; changes in project parameters
as plans continue to be refined; changing costs, timelines and development schedules as it relates to construction; the Company not being
able to complete its construction projects at the Rainy River Mine or the New Afton Mine on the anticipated timeline or at all; volatility
in the market price of the Company's securities; changes in national and local government legislation in the countries in which New Gold
does or may in the future carry on business; compliance with public company disclosure obligations; controls, regulations and political
or economic developments in the countries in which New Gold does or may in the future carry on business; the Company's dependence on the
Rainy River Mine and New Afton Mine; the Company not being able to complete its exploration drilling programs on the anticipated timeline
or at all; inadequate water management and stewardship; tailings storage facilities and structure failures; failing to complete stabilization
projects according to plan; geotechnical instability and conditions; disruptions to the Company's workforce at either the Rainy River
Mine or the New Afton Mine, or both; significant capital requirements and the availability and management of capital resources; additional
funding requirements; diminishing quantities or grades of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources; actual results of current exploration
or reclamation activities; uncertainties inherent to mining economic studies including the Technical Reports for the Rainy River Mine
and New Afton Mine; impairment; unexpected delays and costs inherent to consulting and accommodating rights of First Nations and other
Indigenous groups; climate change, environmental risks and hazards and the Company's response thereto; ability to obtain and maintain
sufficient insurance; actual results of current exploration or reclamation activities; fluctuations in the international currency markets
and in the rates of exchange of the currencies of Canada, the United States and, to a lesser extent, Mexico; global economic and financial
conditions and any global or local natural events that may impede the economy or New Gold's ability to carry on business in the normal
course; inflation; compliance with debt obligations and maintaining sufficient liquidity; the responses of the relevant governments to
any disease, epidemic or pandemic outbreak not being sufficient to contain the impact of such outbreak; disruptions to the Company's supply
chain and workforce due to any disease, epidemic or pandemic outbreak; an economic recession or downturn as a result of any disease, epidemic
or pandemic outbreak that materially adversely affects the Company's operations or liquidity position; taxation; fluctuation in treatment
and refining charges; transportation and processing of unrefined products; rising costs or availability of labour, supplies, fuel and
equipment; adequate infrastructure; relationships with communities, governments and other stakeholders; labour disputes; effectiveness
of supply chain due diligence; the uncertainties inherent in current and future legal challenges to which New Gold is or may become a
party; defective title to mineral claims or property or contests over claims to mineral properties; competition; loss of, or inability
to attract, key employees; use of derivative products and hedging transactions; reliance on third-party contractors; counterparty risk
and the performance of third party service providers; investment risks and uncertainty relating to the value of equity investments in
public companies held by the Company from time to time; the adequacy of internal and disclosure controls; conflicts of interest; the lack
of certainty with respect to foreign operations and legal systems, which may not be immune from the influence of political pressure, corruption
or other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; the successful acquisitions and integration of business arrangements and
realizing the intended benefits therefrom; and information systems security threats. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated
with the business of mineral exploration, development, construction, operation and mining, including environmental events and hazards,
industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate
insurance or inability to obtain insurance to cover these risks) as well as "Risk Factors" included in New Gold's Annual Information
Form and other disclosure documents filed on and available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results and future events could materially differ from those anticipated
in such statements. All of the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements.
New Gold expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
