                      Press Release Dated January 13, 2005


NEWGOLD, INC. ANNOUNCES CONTRACT TO JOINT VENTURE GOLD MINING PROPERTIES AS WELL
AS MOVE INTO INDUSTRIAL MINERALS

CAMERON PARK, CA - January 13, 2005 - Newgold, Inc. (NGLD: OTCBB) announced
today that it has recently signed a letter of intent to joint venture two
separate leasehold mining interests in Lander County, Nevada.

The first leasehold interest, known as the Red Cap Project, consists of
approximately 23 unpatented mining claims while the second leasehold interest,
known as the BXA project, consists of approximately 77 unpatented mining claims.
Located on the Battle Mountain-Eureka mineral belt and the Cortez trend, these
mineral trends are parallel to the Carlin Trend about 50 kilometers to the east.
The Red Cap Project is located close to Placer Dome Inc.'s (NYSE) Cortez mine
complex gold mine holdings; in 2003 Placer Dome Inc. produced at Cortez in
excess of one million ounces of gold for the sixth consecutive year.

The agreement calls for Newgold to make annual expenditures of $250,000,
$500,000 and $850,000 over the next three years, respectively, on these
leaseholds. When each annual expenditure is completed Newgold will earn a 22.22%
interest in the joint venture, which if fully funded by Newgold, will result in
an ultimate 66.66% overall interest in the leaseholds. Newgold's joint venture
partner is ASDi LLC, a wholly owned entity of its Chairman and CEO, A. Scott
Dockter. Newgold will be the operator of the joint venture. Newgold expects the
closing of the joint venture to close on or before March, 31, 2005.

Newgold also announced today that is in negotiations to buy a substantial
interest in an industrial mineral mining project located in Amador County
California which currently provides materials to the greater Sacramento area.
Newgold would buy its interest from or merge with ASD Corp, a wholly owned
entity of its Chairman and CEO, A. Scott Dockter. The site is fully permitted
and consists of approximately 1200 acres; industrial minerals located at the
project include aggregate, clay, silica sands and coal as well as gold. The
existing plant operation is increasing capacity and will be capable of producing
in excess of one million tons of aggregate annually. It is anticipated that this
project can begin providing operating cash flow to Newgold during fiscal 2006.
Newgold also expects the closing of this acquisition to occur on or before
March, 31, 2005.

Going forward, Newgold's business will be to acquire, explore and, if warranted,
develop various mining properties located in North America. It currently owns
the Relief Canyon mine project in Nevada, consisting of 21 lode claims and 57
mill site claims with mining infrastructure currently on maintenance status. The
Company plans to carryout comprehensive exploration and development programs on
its properties. While the Company may fund and conduct these












activities itself, the Company's current plan is to outsource most of these
activities through the use of various joint venture, royalty or partnership
arrangements pursuant to which other companies would agree to finance and
carryout the exploration and development programs on the Company's mining
properties. Consequently, the Company's current plan will not require the hiring
of significant numbers of mining employees but will require a smaller group of
employees to monitor and/or supervise the mining and exploration activities of
other entities in exchange for royalties or other revenue sharing arrangements.
