known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed

interpretation of drill results and the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits, the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with
the Company&#146;s expectations, metal recoveries, the saleability of the New Afton Project&#146;s copper/gold concentrate, accidents, equipment breakdowns, title matters, labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in

failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, failure to obtain all necessary permits to satisfy the Note holders (as defined in the Annual Information Form) and the mining regulations, and other risks and uncertainties, including those

advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information and forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements include information and statements regarding the expectations and beliefs of management,
the assumed long-term price of gold and exchange rates, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates in future expected production, anticipated future capital and operating costs, and the potential

estimates of mineral reserves and resources incorporated by reference in this Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (&#147;NI 43-101&#148;) and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy
Classification System. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;). Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization, reserves and resources
contained in this Annual Report may not be comparable to information from U.S. companies subject to the SEC&#146;s reporting and disclosure requirements. In particular, the term &#147;resource&#148; does not equate to the term &#147;reserves&#148;.
&#147;Resources&#148; are sometimes referred to as &#147;mineralization&#148; or &#147;mineral deposits.&#148; The definitions of &#147;proven&#148; and &#147;probable&#148; reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in SEC Industry
Guide 7. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a &#147;reserve&#148; unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination
is made. The SEC&#146;s disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning &#147;measured&#148;, &#147;indicated&#148;, or &#147;inferred&#148; mineral resources in documents filed with the SEC, unless such
information is required to be disclosed by the laws of the Company&#146;s principal jurisdiction or of a jurisdiction in which its securities are traded. U.S. investors should also understand that &#147;inferred mineral resources&#148; have a great
amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an &#147;inferred mineral resource&#148; will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under
Canadian rules, estimated &#147;inferred mineral resources&#148; may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an &#147;inferred mineral
resource&#148; exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of &#147;contained ounces&#148; is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report &#147;resources&#148; as in-place
tonnage and grade. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

were in part necessitated by the expanding operational activity, especially in the latter two quarters of the year, at the Company&#146;s development Project, the New Afton Project. The Company contracted a third party firm to assist the Company in
enhancing its internal controls and to test the enhanced controls as part of management&#146;s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as required by Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Company has
a) in general, enhanced its internal control processes across the material financial cycles; b) more specifically, improved its financial controls over period end closing, and procurement processes; and c) implemented compensating procedures around
the segregation of duties in the information technology area due to limited staffing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR </B></FONT></P>

risks and uncertainties, including those described under Risk Factors in this Annual Information Form and in the Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, which is expressly incorporated by reference
herein. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements for time periods subsequent to 2007 involve longer term assumptions and estimates than forward-looking information and forward-looking statements for 2007 and are consequently
subject to greater uncertainty. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking information or
forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information and forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements include information and statements
regarding the expectations and beliefs of management, the assumed long-term price of gold and exchange rates, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates in future expected production, anticipated
future capital and operating costs, and the potential of the Company&#146;s properties and expectations of growth. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements made in this Annual Information Form and a document incorporated by

rights of way over this land under an agreement which Abacus had entered into with Teck in November, 2005 when Abacus purchased the milling and processing facilities, tailings storage area and other infrastructure at the Afton Mine from the Vendors.
The rights and obligations of Abacus, the Vendors and the Company were incorporated into a letter of intent dated October&nbsp;19, 2007 which was replaced and superseded with a definitive agreement dated March&nbsp;19, 2008 (the &#147;<B>Three Party
Agreement</B>&#148;), which provides Abacus with shared use of New Gold&#146;s water pipeline, in the event that it develops a new milling operation, and provides New Gold with access from the Trans-Canada Highway to the New Afton Project over a
small portion of the land which Abacus is purchasing from Teck around the old Afton mill building. New Gold and Abacus executed another letter of intent dated October&nbsp;19, 2007 which was replaced and superseded with a definitive option and joint
venture agreement dated March&nbsp;19, 2008 (the &#147;<B>Two Party Agreement</B>&#148;), which is intended to ensure that any economic mineralization within and surrounding the past producing Ajax pits, is explored, delineated and developed in the
most cost efficient manner. As a result, the Two Party Agreement is intended to grant Abacus an option to explore for, and potentially develop, mineralization in the area surrounding Abacus&#146; Ajax mineral claims, which are over the
past-producing Ajax pits. Under the Two Party Agreement, Abacus must spend $2.5&nbsp;million within 2&nbsp;years over a portion of New Gold&#146;s mineral claims surrounding the Ajax pits, and complete a preliminary economic study within
6&nbsp;months following the 2 year period. If economic mineralization is established, it will be developed as a joint venture between the 2 companies. In the event of an open pit operation, the interest will be 60:40 in favour of Abacus who will be
the operator. In the event of an underground operation the interest will be 60:40 in favour of New Gold who will be the operator. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

significant features are the Afton and Pothook open pits and the reclaimed waste rock dumps from the former Afton mine operations. The Thompson River (which widens into Kamloops Lake) is located to the north of the property. Vegetation is typical of
the semi-arid climate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The area has warm summers where temperatures can reach 38&deg;C and cool winters where temperatures hover around
the freezing mark. During the winter, short periods of cold weather can occur where temperatures can drop to as low as -29&deg;C. The Kamloops area is in the rain shadow of the Coast Mountains and the climate is classified as semi-arid.
Precipitation is minor, averaging about 257&nbsp;mm annually (of which 175&nbsp;mm is rainfall) with light winter snow and infrequent rain in the spring and fall. Vegetation is typical of the semi-arid climate, consisting of grasslands, sagebrush
and sparse groves of widely spaced pine trees. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Kamloops is a major transportation hub for highway, air and railroad and forestry,
ranching, mining, and tourism are the most important economic activities in the area. The city has an airport with daily air service from Vancouver, British Columbia and Calgary, Alberta and is serviced by both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific
Railways. The proximity of Kamloops is of considerable importance to the Project being a natural resource-based city of 80,000 people. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Major utilities and mine infrastructure are readily accessible. Electric power from the main grid feeding Kamloops crosses the property, and a 4&nbsp;km pipeline from Kamloops Lake will be used to pump water to the New Afton Project. New
Gold purchased the pipeline and pump house facilities from Teck as part of the Teck Purchase Agreement (see &#147;Narrative Description of the Business &#150; Mineral Projects &#150; The New Afton Project &#150; Project Description and
Location&#148;). The Company will be applying for a new water permit to withdraw sufficient water in mining operations. A natural gas pipeline traverses the northern part of the Leased Lands and may provide a source of fuel for heating purposes.

Afton area began in the mid-1800&#146;s, as prospectors pushed into the interior of British Columbia following the Fraser and Cariboo gold rushes. The Iron Mask property, staked in 1896, was the first in the Kamloops district. Mining was carried out
from the turn of the century through until 1927 at several gold, copper, and silver mines including the Pothook, Iron King, Copper King, and Iron Mask. The Afton property claims were staked over the Pothook workings in 1949 by Axel Bergland. This
was followed by sporadic, and largely unsuccessful, exploration work by a number of parties through the 1950&#146;s, and 60&#146;s. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Afton Mines Ltd. to carry out exploration work. In 1970, Afton Mines Ltd. obtained a drill intersection of 170&nbsp;ft of 0.4% Cu from what ultimately became the Afton deposit. For the next three years over 150,000&nbsp;ft of drilling was carried
out by a number of operators. Duvall Corporation and Quintana Minerals took options on the property in 1970 but dropped them in 1971. They were followed in 1972 by Canex Placer. Also in 1972, Teck and Iso Mines Ltd. (&#147;<B>Iso</B>&#148;)
purchased an equity interest in the Afton Mine. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Teck and Iso purchased Canex Placer&#146;s interest in consideration for $4&nbsp;million
in 1973 and initiated engineering and metallurgical studies. A production decision was taken in October 1975 with production commencing at the Afton open pit mine in late 1977. At the start of production the mineral reserves were 34&nbsp;million
tons grading 1% Cu, 0.016&nbsp;oz/t Au, and 0.12&nbsp;oz/t Ag (30.8&nbsp;million tonnes grading 1% Cu, 0.58&nbsp;g/t Au, 4.2&nbsp;g/t Ag). Mining took place on the property at the Afton, Crescent, Pothook and Ajax pits. The mill closed in 1991,

hosted within the Cherry Creek member of the Iron Mask batholith complex, a multi-phase plutonic body exposed in a southeast-trending belt measuring 34 km long by 5 km wide. The Cherry Creek member is a partially fault-bounded body trending east
northeast through the deposit area, curving to the east side of the property to a more southeasterly trend. At the New Afton Project, the Cherry Creek intrusive is a variably and multiply brecciated assemblage of porphyritic and equigranular
monzonite-monzodiorite. The principal host phase of the Cherry Creek is a magnetic fine-to medium-grained porphyric pyroxene-hornblende monzodiorite which forms a wedge of intrusive breccia between the Nicola Group volcanic rocks to the west and
southeast and Pothook diorite to the east and southeast. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

monzodiorite to the northwest from pyritic, sericite-carbonate-clay-chlorite-altered monzodiorite to the southeast. Ground conditions within the picrite are poor, which has hampered efforts to drill through it. As a result, drill information on the
hanging wall (south) side of the picrite is limited. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The property is traversed by dykes which are late phase of the intrusive and, at

SIZE="2">Mezonic units (i.e., Nicola and Cherry Creek), are unconformably overlain by Eocene Kamloops group rocks. In the project area, the Kamloops group comprises coarse-to-fine grained clastic sedimentary rocks, along with a mafic flow. Coal beds
in the Kamloops strata are visible in the north wall of the New Afton Pit. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Structure is a dominant feature of the geology of the deposit
and has influenced all aspects of the host rock lithology, mineralizing events, and post-ore processes. Zones of intersection between deep seated NW-SE-trending faults and east-northeast fractures were primary controls to localization of the
Triassic intrusive bodies (i.e., the Iron Mask Batholith) and Nicola volcanic centres. The NW SE structures are major regional fault zones believed to date back to Triassic times with repeated stages of reactivation through to the Tertiary.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">East-northeast-striking steeply-dipping fault zones were the primary control to the New Afton mineralization. Two faults, termed the
Hanging Wall (east) and Foot Wall (west) constrain the New Afton deposit to a relatively narrow steeply-dipping corridor. They, along with moderately- to steeply-dipping east-west, southwest-northeast, and north-south fault zones, have been mapped
in the New Afton pit, and were subsequently picked up in diamond drill holes and underground mapping. These structures are thought to have controlled the flow of mineralizing hydrothermal fluids responsible for the alteration and deposition of
sulphides. The pattern of intersection of the fault planes has imparted a southwest plunge to much of the deposit, especially in the hypogene zone. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Subsequent fault movements re-shuffled portions of the deposit, in places truncating it, and transposing slices of waste and ore in others. The faults and subsidiary fracturing then provided conduits for weathering solutions, which resulted
in supergene alteration down to relatively deep elevations (ca. 400 m below surface in places). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Mineralization occurs within a structural corridor outlined by the well- defined hanging wall fault (to the south), and the less well-defined footwall fault (to the north). In places the hanging wall fault truncates the mineralization. The
boundaries of the mineralization are generally clearly defined between the higher grades of the mineral resource and distinctly lower grades of the surrounding rocks. This lower grade enveloping mineralization was not included within the mineral

utilized the Main Zone measured and indicated mineral resource model described above. The starting point for estimating the mineral reserve was an analysis of the distribution of mineralization within the mineral resource model, which AMC broke down
into &#150; East Block, West Block, and Pit Protection Pillar in the Main Zone, and the Hanging Wall Lenses. To this breakdown, AMC applied knowledge gained from geotechnical data, in addition to geological interpretations of faults and other
structures. In estimating the mineral reserves, the following metal prices were used &#150; Cu US$1.45/lb; Au US$475/oz. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As the Hanging
Wall Lenses are lower grade, isolated from the main zone and would require separate underground infrastructure, they were not considered in the Feasibility Study. The main zone was split into the east and west blocks by an area of lower grade
mineralization that was not included in the mineral reserve estimate. A decision was made to leave a pillar under the west area of the Afton Pit (&#147;<B>Pit Protection Pillar</B>&#148;), as the mineralization was slightly lower grade than the bulk
of the main zone and, because of its higher elevation, could not easily be recovered within the same block cave panel as the East Block &#150; this pillar was not included in the mineral reserve. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AMC determined that the Main Zone mineralization could be mined as three cave areas, Block&nbsp;1 (B1) and Block&nbsp;2 (B2), separated by a low-grade
pillar would have the same cave base, whilst Block&nbsp;3 (B3) would have its base at a lower elevation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To enable a single cut-off
parameter to be used when selecting the economic parts of the mineral resource to be mined, AMC estimated the theoretical value (&#147;<B>Value</B>&#148;) received for concentrate produced from each tonne of resource, assuming that the concentrate

costs. The footprint was designed to encompass those drawpoints with a positive net value and, where necessary, a number of sub-economic drawpoints to ensure that the undercut area was large enough to cave, (determined by geotechnical investigations
as being an area with a minimum span in any direction of approximately 95&nbsp;m). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result of establishing the most suitable block

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To determine the heights of the caved ore columns, AMC used two separate simulation programs (Cave-Sim and PC-BC). These programs model the progressive mixing of various mineralized and unmineralized materials within
the cave as the orebody is mined. Once the value of the ore being extracted from the drawpoint reached less than $15 per tonne the programs determined the cave column had been drawn to its maximum economic height (at the metal prices used in the
mineral reserve calculation) and the drawpoint was closed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The mineral reserve estimate is summarized below and results from mixing of
measured and indicated mineral resources with dilution from low-grade and barren material from within the cave outline and from the overlying material entering from above. The mineral reserve estimate also takes account of mineralized material that
would be uneconomic to recover at the metal prices used for the mineral reserve estimation and would remain in the cave. The net effect is a dilution of approximately 15% of the original mineral resource within the cave outlines. </FONT></P> <P

unclassified material mixes with the measured resource within the cave. As it is not possible to mine the measured resource separately from this material, the effect is to lower the classification of the total mineral reserve. </FONT></P> <P

west of B2, is smaller than B2 and deeper. The general direction of undercutting will be from the South West corner of B2 to the North East corner of B1. The undercut face angle will be maintained at approximately 45 degrees to the strike of the
deposit in a NW-SE direction and will move progressively from B2 into B1. The caving method will result in subsidence in the western wall of the Afton Pit, which is not anticipated to impact any of the existing or proposed surface structures.

development. Following this, development has now expanded four development faces including commencement of the surface portal which began shortly after December&nbsp;31, 2007. Previous to this, long lead time mill components were ordered as well as
the mine development fleet necessary to conduct the underground development. Initial deliveries of the mobile fleet occurred during the third quarter and fourth quarters of 2007 and the majority of all the deliveries have been received by February
2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In support of the mining activities there are presently 3&nbsp;mining crews working 7&nbsp;days a week, 20&nbsp;hours a day. The

(&#147;<B>ABCP</B>&#148;), typically had terms of less than 365&nbsp;days and repayment of a maturing ABCP was dependent on the cash generated by the trusts&#146; underlying assets and the ability of the trusts to issue new ABCP. In mid August 2007
a number of sponsors of non-bank managed ABCP, including those with which the Company had invested, announced that they could not place ABCP due to unfavourable conditions in the Canadian capital markets. As a result, the non-bank ABCP market
remains the subject of an agreement signed on August&nbsp;16, 2007 amongst a number of affected parties called the &#147;Montreal Accord&#148; which contemplates a restructuring of ABCP on or before March&nbsp;31, 2008 under the direction of the

debt based, will be available for further exploration and development of its projects. The Company will require additional financing from external sources to meet its operating and capital requirements. There can be no assurance that it will obtain
adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. In addition, the price of shares of developing mining companies can be volatile due in part to changes in metals prices, actual development results differing
from expected development results, changes in metal companies&#146; valuations or the departure of key employees. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of
our projects or the possible loss of such properties. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The mineral exploration and development industry in general is intensely competitive
and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of proven reserves and probable reserves are discovered, a profitable market may exist for the sale of same. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of any
substances discovered. Mineral prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. The marketability of minerals is also affected by numerous other factors beyond the control of the Company, including government regulations relating to

interest will be subject to all the hazards and risk normally incidental to exploration, development and production of resources, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to persons or property and possible environmental damage. Although
the Company has obtained liability insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable against, or the Company might
not elect to insure itself against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Company could incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition. </FONT></P> <P

for development projects, estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves and cash operating costs are, to a large extent, based upon the interpretation of geological data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques, feasibility
studies which derive estimates of capital costs and cash operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of copper and gold, estimated operating
costs, anticipated climatic conditions and other factors. As a result, it is possible that actual capital costs, cash operating costs and economic returns will differ significantly from those estimated for a project prior to production. It is not
unusual in new mining operations to experience unexpected problems during the start-up phase, and delays often can occur in the commencement of production. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods.
The effect of these factors on the price of metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of the Company&#146;s exploration projects, cannot accurately be predicted. The Company does not presently have a metals hedging policy nor has it
conducted any metals hedging in the past. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Title To Some Of the Company&#146;s Mineral Properties May Be Challenged Or Defective </I></B></FONT></P>

of natural resources involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. Although the mineral resource and reserve figures set out herein have been carefully prepared and reviewed
or verified by independent mining experts, these amounts are estimates only and no assurance can be given that an identified mineral resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) ore body which can be legally and economically
exploited. In addition, the grade of mineralization ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material. Production can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements,
weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

recovered in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale operations. Material changes in reserves or resources, grades, dilution estimates or recovery rates may affect the
economic viability of the Project. The estimated reserves and resources described in this Annual Information Form should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of future operations. The long term profitability of the
Company&#146;s operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas,
which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments.
Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards, and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility
for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Board (United States). We conducted our audit of the Company&#146;s financial statements as at December&nbsp;31, 2006 and for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan
and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. A financial statement audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits

the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we consider
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A company&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)&nbsp;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (ii)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of
the company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control

British Columbia, Canada. Its principal project, the New Afton copper-gold project (the &#147;Project&#148;), has been subject to exploration, an advanced scoping study and a feasibility study. These financial statements have been prepared using
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they fall due. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As at December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company has negative working capital of $29.6 million. The negative working capital position is primarily due to the
classification of the Company&#146;s Notes as a current liability because of a provision in the Note Indenture which requires the Company to obtain all material permits related to its New Afton project on or before June&nbsp;27, 2008 (See Note 7).
Should these permits not be obtained or the Company is unable to negotiate a waiver, the Company is obligated to offer to redeem the Notes at par value ($237 million). The negative working capital position is also due to the classification of the
Company&#146;s investments in non-bank sponsored asset backed commercial paper (&#147;ABCP&#148;) as non-current assets. The Company has $120 million ($170 million net of $50 impairment) in investments subject to the ABCP restructuring in Canada
(See Note 3). The financial impact of these two situations creates substantial doubt about the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the remaining permits for its New Afton project, resolving the liquidity situation surrounding its ABCP investments or obtaining
the necessary financing to fund its debt obligations over the next year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In recognition of these circumstances, and following the receipt
of the major principal mine permit in October 2007, the Company is actively pursuing the remaining permits required to satisfy the debt requirements. The Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on the successful
resolution of the ABCP restructuring which the Company anticipates will result in a limited market for the pooled assets to be created as a result of the new pooled assets credit rating, increased transparency about the underlying assets and the
structure as well as the support of a margin facility which is expected to enable the Company to realize on its ABCP investments, as well as its ability to renegotiate its obligations in terms of the Note Indenture should they fall due. The
Company&#146;s continuing operations are also dependent on the raising of additional financing to finance the remainder of the Project construction. The amount and timing of these raisings may be materially impacted by the resolution of the
Company&#146;s investments in ABCP (See Note 3). There can be no assurance it will be able to raise sufficient funds as and when such funds are required. There can furthermore be no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary permits or
resolve its ABCP issues or obtain the necessary funding to continue with its Project construction. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

cash proceeds of $75.0 million (net proceeds $70.6 million, prior to allocation of the fair value to the share purchase warrants <I>(Note 11)</I>). A commission of 5.25% was paid to the underwriters. Each unit consisted of one common share and
one-half of a share purchase warrant. The gross proceeds have been allocated $8.285 to each common shares and $0.715 to each one-half of a share purchase warrant. The share purchase warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model using the
following assumptions: weighted average risk free interest rate of 3.9%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company&#146;s common stock of 40%; and a weighted average expected life of the warrants of 2 years.

should be allocated between the offering of the shares and the sale of tax benefits when the shares are offered. The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the shares and the amount the investor pays for the

accrete the balance to the principal due on maturity. Under U.S. GAAP, the convertible debentures, in their entirety, are classified as debt. The non-cash interest expense recorded under Canadian GAAP would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP.

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">repayment of a maturing ABCP was dependent on the cash generated by the trusts&#146; underlying assets and the ability of the trusts to issue new ABCP. In
mid August 2007 a number of sponsors of non-bank managed ABCP, including those with which the Company had invested, announced that they could not place ABCP due to unfavourable conditions in the Canadian capital markets. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result, the non-bank ABCP market remains the subject of an agreement signed on August&nbsp;16, 2007 amongst a number of affected parties. This agreement, referred
to as the &#147;Montreal Accord&#148;, contemplates a restructuring of ABCP on or before March&nbsp;31, 2008 with the expressed intention of re-introducing the majority of the investments into a pool of long term floating rate senior and subordinate
notes with the senior notes having a credit rating attached to them. The traditional asset pools and ineligible assets will have tracking notes associated with them. It is still uncertain how much of a market will be created as a result of the
restructuring. While the Company is not a signatory to the Montreal Accord, it is directly and through counsel monitoring the activities of a committee formed to implement the restructuring and is expected to be required to sign once the
restructuring is implemented. However, the final terms of reference for the restructuring, while well advanced as detailed in a press release dated December&nbsp;23, 2007 (the &#147;December Press Release&#148;), have not been made the subject of a
definitive proposal and there is no certainty of a positive outcome. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result, there is presently no active market for the ABCP held by the Company and
the funds cannot be accessed until such time as the restructuring contemplated by the Montreal Accord has been completed. The Company is unable to definitively determine when or if an appropriate resolution may occur, however, it believes that it is
reasonable to anticipate that it will occur by the second quarter of 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has re-classified its holdings in ABCP from short-term investments
to long-term assets and categorized such holdings as follows: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During 2007 the Company commenced development activities on the Project, including the engagement of the underground contractor who initially commenced the expansion of the existing two kilometer exploration decline,
enlarging it to accommodate the equipment necessary to facilitate the mine development. Following this, development has now expanded to five development faces including commencement of the surface portal which began shortly after December&nbsp;31,
2007. Previous to this, long lead time mill components were ordered as well as the mine development fleet necessary to conduct the underground development. Initial deliveries of the mobile fleet occurred during the third quarter and fourth quarters
of 2007 and the majority of all the deliveries have been received by February 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On July&nbsp;5, 2007 the Company announced that it had appointed AMEC
Americas Limited (&#147;AMEC&#148;) based in Vancouver, British Columbia as the Engineering and Procurement contractor for the design of the mill and related surface facilities. AMEC has commenced the detailed engineering phase of the project as
well as the procurement of the surface facility components. Subsequently, AMEC&#146;s mandate was expanded to include Construction Management. The Company has also now finalized an agreement with the contractor who will complete the surface works
construction. As a part of its mandate as the EPCM contractor, AMEC Americas is undertaking a further review of the capital costs of the project. Costs of building mining projects world-wide have been increasing as a result of higher labour and
material costs. As a result of a comprehensive review completed subsequent to December 31, 2007 and overseen by AMEC, and including input from the other consultants and contractors involved in the Project, the Project costs are now projected to
total $592 million (which includes a contingency of $48.6 million), 19.6% over the projected costs contained in the Feasibility Study. The Company is presently completing its review of the financial and operational consequences of reducing the ramp
up period to less than 12 months from the presently disclosed 27 months and any corresponding effect on funding requirements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On October&nbsp;25, 2007 the
Company completed the acquisition of the property surface rights including the payment of $16 million plus applicable transfer taxes. As part of the transaction, the seller was granted a 2% Net Smelter Return over the Project which the Company has
the option to repurchase at any time for $12 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On October&nbsp;31, 2007 the Company received from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum
Resources (British Columbia) a permit issued pursuant to Section&nbsp;10 of the Mines Act approving the work system and reclamation program in respect of the Project. The Company now requires the water and tailings disposal permits, necessary to
commence production of the mine. The Project will have a water source for the start-up of the mine as a result of the de-watering of the New Afton pit into an adjacent pit for storage and use during the start-up of the mill. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has also continued to explore at and around the existing resource through a surface drilling campaign which targeted the deep extension of the project;
however, these holes are costly and difficult to complete and for the time being have been curtailed. Once the underground development has sufficiently progressed the Company will be able to drill these deep targets from underground at a much lower
cost. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

preceding two fiscal years ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, have evolved from an exploration based focus in prior years towards the current development focus which commenced in the latter portion of 2006 and continued throughout 2007. The level of
spending activity has correspondingly increased in 2007 as a result of the commencement in 2007 of the new mine underground development. In 2006, the primary project spending was focused on the feasibility study required to define the potential of
an economic deposit and these results were issued in April 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result of these activities, the Company expended $39.3 million, including
capitalized financing costs, on the Project and its Ajax property in 2007 as compared to $20.2 million on the Project in 2006. In 2007 the primary expenditures related to $25.7 million on the underground development related to the expansion of the
existing 2 kilometer decline and commencement of new development faces, $5.0 million on interest capitalized and paid in 2007, $3.0 million in payments to complete the feasibility study, $4.5 million on surface exploration in and around the New
Afton deposit and $0.8 million on exploration at the Company&#146;s Ajax property and optioned properties. In 2006, the Company spent $6.3 million on the feasibility study, $6.1 million on underground exploration, including support services for the
underground exploration and $2.3 million for tunneling costs, expended in 2005 but paid in 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the Company spent $30.0 million on property, plant and equipment in 2007 as compared to only $0.4
million in the comparative year. The significant increase relates to the receipt of the initial portion of the mine development fleet ($11.2 million) and installment payments made on long lead mill equipment orders ($1.6 million). Additionally, the
Company completed the acquisition of the surface rights for the Project in the fourth quarter of 2007 by paying $16.3 million to secure these rights. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

share in 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As discussed above, the Company incurred an impairment charge on its investments in non-bank sponsored ABCP investments totaling $50.1
million during the current year which forms the major variance year over year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has also expensed $22.1 million related to interest and
accretion charges which do not qualify for capitalizing to the project costs. The Company allocates the interest and accretion charges arising as a result of the Note and Debenture debt financings between mineral properties and the Statement of
Operations based upon the weighted average effective interest rate of the borrowings times the average capitalized value of the Project during the period. The accretion charges component of these costs, which are non-cash in nature, totaled $13.7
million in 2007 and are high due to the short accretion period used in the debt accounting due to the June 2008 permit test which were expensed as a period cost. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Wages, benefits and stock-based compensation costs related to corporate staffing have decreased to $2.7 million in 2007 as compared to $4.4 million in 2006 mainly as a result of lower stock-based compensation charges which mirror the
vesting period of the options issued. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Professional and regulatory fees have increased in 2007 to $2.9 million as compared to $0.9 million in 2006 due to
amending the Company&#146;s bank advisory agreement and incurring project financing related costs totaling $1.4 million and which was subsequently stopped, incurring consulting fees to advise the Company on its initial year of full Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance and higher legal fees inpart due to the Company&#146;s investigation into the ABCP restructuring. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result of the Company receiving its
primary permit to operate and reclaim the New Afton mine on October&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company has commenced recognizing its previously unrecognized future income tax assets. The Company has recognized future tax assets and recorded a future tax
recovery of $9.9 million in 2007 relating to available loss carry forward amounts and share and debt issue costs that have been incurred in 2007 and in prior periods. The balance has been set-off against the Company&#146;s future tax liabilities,
resulting in a net future tax liability of $2.4 million at December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

capitalized to the project costs, $1.3 million on surface exploration in around the New Afton project and $0.8 million on the Company&#146;s Ajax claims. In the comparative quarter, the Company spent $1.0 million on underground exploration and

installment payments made on long lead mill equipment orders plus sundry capital assets required for the development of the New Afton Mine which totaled $7.3 million. Additionally, the Company completed the acquisition of the surface rights for the
project in the fourth quarter of 2007 and paid $16.3 million to secure these rights. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the 2007 Prospectus related to the equity and debt financing, the Company stated that the use of proceeds from
the financing would be used for the development of the Company&#146;s New Afton project in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Company&#146;s National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report. To December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company had
expended approximately $30 million on property, plant and equipment and $26 million on direct project development, the bulk of which was incurred subsequent to the financing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As at December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company has negative working capital of $29.6 million. The negative working capital position is primarily due to the classification of the Company&#146;s Notes as a current liability
because of a provision in the Note Indenture which requires the Company to obtain all material permits related to its New Afton project on or before June&nbsp;27, 2008 (See Note 7). Should these permits not be obtained or the Company is unable to
negotiate a waiver, the Company is obligated to offer to redeem the Notes at par value ($237 million). The negative working capital position is also due to the classification of the Company&#146;s investments in non-bank sponsored asset backed
commercial paper (&#147;ABCP&#148;) as non-current assets. The Company has $170 million in investments subject to the ABCP restructuring in Canada (See Note 3 to the financial statements). The financial impact of these two situations creates
substantial doubt about the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon obtaining the remaining permits for its New Afton project, resolving the liquidity situation surrounding its ABCP investments or obtaining the necessary financing to fund its debt obligations over the next year. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In recognition of these circumstances, and following the receipt of the major principal mine permit in October 2007, the Company is actively pursuing the remaining
permits required to satisfy the debt requirements. The Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on the successful resolution of the ABCP restructuring which will provide a market to enable the Company to realize some
of its ABCP investments, as well as its ability to renegotiate its obligations in terms of the Note Indenture should they fall due. The Company&#146;s continuing operations are also dependent on the raising of additional financing to finance the
remainder of the Project construction. The amount and timing of these raisings may be materially impacted by the resolution of the Company&#146;s investments in ABCP. There can be no assurance it will be able to raise sufficient funds as and when
such funds are required. There can furthermore be no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary permits or resolve its ABCP issues or obtain the necessary funding to continue with its Project construction. </FONT></P> <P

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As at December 31, 2007, the Company has negative working capital of $29.6 million primarily due to the requirement that the Notes (as defined under &#147;Description of
Capital Structure&#148;) be classified as a current liability because of a provision in the Note Indenture which requires the Company to obtain all material permits related to the Project test on or before June 27, 2008. Should these permits not be
obtained or the Company is unable to negotiate a waiver of such requirement or an extension of the date for compliance from the holders of the Notes, the Company is obligated to offer to redeem the Notes at their par value, $237 million. The Company
received its principal permit under the <I>Mines Act</I> of B.C. in October 2007 but requires the remaining permits to satisfy the test. The Company is actively pursuing the remaining permits required to satisfy the permit requirement referred to
above. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s continuing operations will be dependent on obtaining the remaining permits for the Project (or obtaining a waiver from such
requirement under the Note Indenture or an extension of the date for compliance) or the raising of additional financing to finance the remainder of the Project construction. The amount and timing of these raisings may be materially impacted by the
resolution of the Company&#146;s investments in non-bank sponsored asset backed commercial paper referred to below under &#147;Asset Backed Commercial Paper&#148;. There can be no assurance it will be able to raise sufficient funds as and when such
funds are required. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company may need or desire to refinance all or a portion of the Notes, the Debentures or any other future indebtedness that it
incurs on or before the maturity of the Notes or the Debentures. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance any of its indebtedness or incur further indebtedness necessary for its pre-construction, construction or operative
phases on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Asset Backed Commercial Paper </I></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As at December 31, 2007 the Company had $170 million invested in collateralized short term debt obligations (rated R1 high by Dominion Bond Rating Service), issued by
limited purpose trusts sponsored and managed by non-bank entities. These obligations, commonly known as &#147;Asset Backed Commercial Paper&#148; (&#147;<B>ABCP</B>&#148;), typically had terms of less than 365 days and repayment of a maturing ABCP
was dependent on the cash generated by the trusts&#146; underlying assets and the ability of the trusts to issue new ABCP. In mid August 2007 a number of sponsors of non-bank managed ABCP, including those with which the Company had invested,
announced that they could not place ABCP due to unfavourable conditions in the Canadian capital markets. As a result, the non-bank ABCP market remains the subject of an agreement signed on August 16, 2007 amongst a number of affected parties called
the &#147;Montreal Accord&#148; which contemplates a restructuring of ABCP on or before March 31, 2008 under the direction of the Pan-Canadian Investors Committee (the &#147;<B>Committee</B>&#148;) with the expressed intention of re-introducing the
majority of the investments into a pool of long term floating rate notes which will have credit ratings attached to them. The Company understands that a market for trading the restructured investments is expected to develop. While the Company is not
a signatory to the Montreal Accord, it is directly and through counsel monitoring the activities of the Committee. However, the final terms of reference for the restructuring, while well advanced as detailed in a press release from the Committee
dated December 23, 2007 have not been made the subject of a definitive proposal and there is no certainty of a positive outcome. As a result, there is presently no active market for the Company&#146;s ABCP and the funds cannot be accessed until such
time as the restructuring contemplated by the Montreal Accord has been completed. The Company is unable to definitively determine when or if an appropriate resolution may occur. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has re-classified its holdings in ABCP from short-term investments to long term assets and has recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $50.1 million in the current year. There can be no assurance
that this estimate will be realized or that it will be adequate. Subsequent adjustments, which could be material, may be required in future reporting periods. In addition, the Company has not accrued any interest due from these investments pending
further information from the Committee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

SIZE="2">The Company has limited financial resources, no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that additional funding, equity or debt based, will be available for further exploration and development of its projects. The Company will
require additional financing from external sources to meet its operating and capital requirements. There can be no assurance that it will obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. In addition,
the price of shares of developing mining companies can be volatile due in part to changes in metals prices, actual development results differing from expected development results, changes in metal companies&#146; valuations or the departure of key
employees. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of our projects or the possible loss of such properties. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The mineral exploration and development industry in general is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of proven reserves and
probable reserves are discovered, a profitable market may exist for the sale of same. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. Mineral prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent
years. The marketability of minerals is also affected by numerous other factors beyond the control of the Company, including government regulations relating to price, royalties, allowable production and importing and exporting of minerals, the
effect of which cannot accurately be predicted. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The standards employed in estimating the resources differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC
and the resource information reported may not be comparable to similar information reported by United States companies. The term &#147;<B>resources</B>&#148; does not equate to &#147;<B>reserves</B>&#148; and normally may not be included in
documents filed with the SEC. &#147;<B>Resources</B>&#148; are sometimes referred to as &#147;<B>mineralization</B>&#148; or &#147;<B>mineral deposits</B>&#148;. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B><I>Operating Hazards and Risks </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Exploration for natural resources involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge
and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risk normally incidental to exploration, development and production of resources, any of
which could result in work stoppages, damage to persons or property and possible environmental damage. Although the Company has obtained liability insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities
might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable against, or the Company might not elect to insure itself against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Company could incur
significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Development projects have no operating history upon which to
base estimates of future cash operating costs. Particularly for development projects, estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves and cash operating costs are, to a large extent, based upon the interpretation of geological data obtained from
drill holes and other sampling techniques, feasibility studies which derive estimates of capital costs and cash operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the configuration of the ore body, expected
recovery rates of copper and gold, estimated operating costs, anticipated climatic conditions and other factors. As a result, it is possible that actual capital costs, cash operating costs and economic returns will differ significantly from those
estimated for a project prior to production. It is not unusual in new mining operations to experience unexpected problems during the start-up phase, and delays often can occur in the commencement of production. </FONT></P> <P

speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of the Company&#146;s

land claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. As a result, we may be constrained in our ability to operate our properties or unable to enforce our rights with respect to our properties. An impairment to or defect

properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. Although the mineral resource and reserve figures set out herein have been carefully prepared and reviewed or verified by independent mining experts, these amounts are
estimates only and no assurance can be given that an identified mineral resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) ore body which can be legally and economically exploited. In addition, the grade of mineralization ultimately
mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material. Production can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical
difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Short-term factors, such as the need for orderly development of deposits
or the processing of new or different grades, may have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large scale tests
under on-site conditions or in production scale operations. </FONT>

imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards, and enforcement,
fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in
governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The current activities of the Company, including any development

of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or on a timely basis, or that such laws and regulations would not have an adverse effect on any mining project that the Company may undertake. The Company

negative working capital of $29.6 million due to the classification of the Company&#146;s Notes as a current liability because of a provision in the Note Indenture which requires the Company to comply with a permit test on or before June&nbsp;27,
2008. Should the Company fail to meet the test, it is obligated to offer to redeem the Notes at par value ($237 million). The Company also has $170 million in illiquid Asset Backed Commercial Paper (&#147;ABCP&#148;) and while there are initiatives
being undertaken to restructure ABCP market generally through the Pan-Canadian Investors Committee, there can be no assurance that these initiatives will succeed or, if they do, that the Company will realize a meaningful amount on its ABCP.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s ability to advance the Project will be dependent on the receipt of the remaining permits required to satisfy the permit test, a
satisfactory resolution to the ABCP situation and the raising of additional financing to finance the remainder of the Project construction. In connection with the financing requirements of the Company, the Company signed a letter of intent dated
March&nbsp;31, 2008 with Metallica Resources Inc. and Peak Gold Ltd. to complete a business combination whereby New Gold would be the surviving company. The business combination is subject to the completion of confirmatory due diligence, definitive
documentation and obtaining the required regulatory approvals. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As at March&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company&#146;s outstanding capital was: </FONT></P> <P

recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) does not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a &#147;reserve&#148;
unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Inferred resources are in addition to measured and indicated resources. Further, inferred
resources have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category.
Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
