Provides Notice of Release of Third Quarter Financial Results
New Gold Inc. (TSX: NGD) (NYSE American: NGD) reports third quarter operational results for the Company as of September 30, 2022. The Company is also providing notice that it will release its third quarter 2022 financial results before markets open on Thursday, November 3, 2022.
“We continued the positive momentum experienced in the summer months and finished the third quarter on a strong note,” stated Renaud Adams, President & CEO. “At Rainy River, underground mining commenced during the quarter, and we continue to anticipate underground material to start feeding the mill beginning in the fourth quarter. With mining of the open pit main ODM zone continuing its ramp-up, I look forward to Rainy River finishing the year strong. New Afton had solid production improvement over the second quarter with the continual ramp-up of B3. Last week we received the C-Zone permit, a significant milestone for the mine, and our priority at New Afton continues to be ramping up B3 production and advancing C-Zone development. We remain on track to deliver on our updated guidance.”
