   NEWGOLD, INC. COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF GOLD MINING INTERESTS IN THE CORTEZ
                                  TREND, NEVADA

SACRAMENTO, CA - January 25, 2006 - Newgold, Inc. (NGLD: OTCBB) announced today
that it has recently completed a joint venture covering two separate leasehold
mining interests in Lander County, Nevada. Newgold, Inc. expects to actively
grow the company through the funding of mining operations at its Relief Canyon
mining property and by acquiring additional mining properties. Critical to the
acquisition strategy is the Red Cap Project ("Red Caps") and the Crescent Valley
Project ("Crescent Valley").

Red Caps consists of approximately 96 unpatented mining claims and covers over
1900 acres. Crescent Valley consists of approximately 39 unpatented mining
claims and covers over 750 acres, for a total of over 2600 acres on the two
properties. 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. These projects are located close to Placer Dome Inc.'s (NYSE)
Cortez and Pipeline mine holdings which are currently in production.

Per the terms of the joint venture agreement, Newgold has acquired a 22.22%
interest in the joint venture from an entity owned by A. Scott Dockter, Chairman
and CEO of Newgold. Additionally, Newgold, by making expenditures over the next
three years of $1,350,000 on each project, will end up with a 66.66% overall
interest in the joint venture. Newgold will then have the opportunity to
purchase the remaining joint venture interest held by Mr. Dockter based on the
results of the exploration work contemplated by these additional expenditures.
Newgold will be the operator of the joint venture.

Going forward, Newgold's business will be to acquire, explore, develop and
operate 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 in place. Newgold plans to carryout
comprehensive exploration and development programs on its properties.
