Exhibit 99.1

DECEMBER 7, 2006

NEWGOLD, INC. OFFICIALLY CHANGES NAME TO FIRSTGOLD CORP.

SACRAMENTO, CA - December 7, 2006 - Newgold, Inc. (OTCBB: NGLD) announced today that it will now be known as “Firstgold Corp.” Newgold’s primary website has changed to www.firstgoldcorp.com, though it can still be accessed through www.newgold.com. Company CEO, Scott Dockter said, “As has been previously stated, the name change is an important part of our plan to increase investor awareness of the Company. There is a Canadian mining company named “New Gold” and we don’t want our investors confused. Changing the name is a logical move that we believe will be well received.” In coordination with the name change, Newgold’s ticker symbol will be changed from “NGLD” to “FGOC,” effective December 8, 2006.

Firstgold Corp. expects to move towards its production phase in early 2007, subject to regulatory approval that is anticipated prior to the end of 2006. In addition to Relief Canyon, Firstgold Corp. has announced its intention to conduct 40,000 feet of drilling at the Red Caps property is adjacent to ground held by Barrick Gold's Cortez JV in the highly mineralized Eureka-Cortez-Battle Mountain trend. Additional information about Newgold, Inc can be found by visiting its web site at www.firstgoldcorp.com.
