NewWest Gold Corporation Reports First Quarter Operating and Financial Results

Geschrieben am 10-05-2007

Lakewood, Colorado (ots/PRNewswire) - NewWest Gold Corporation
(TSX:NWG) ("NewWest"), an advanced gold exploration and development
company located in Nevada's established gold trends, today announced
its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Financial Overview

The loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 was US $1.5
million or US $0.03 per share, compared to US $0.9 million or US
$0.02 per share during the same quarter in 2006. The change in net
losses was mainly attributed to higher exploration costs from
additional drilling.

NewWest's total assets at March 31, 2007 were US $25.9 million
compared to total assets of US $27.5 million at December 31, 2006.
NewWest's working capital as at March 31, 2007 was US $8.6 million,
which the Company believes will meet its working capital needs and
growth objectives through the remainder of fiscal 2007.

Full interim consolidated financial statements and notes, as well
as management's discussion and analysis, are available on NewWest's
website at www.newwestgold.com, or www.sedar.com.


Project Overview
- In conjunction with recent drilling programs at the Sandman project,
we verified and expanded gold mineralization at Silica Ridge and
North Hill, and discovered new high-grade mineralization at Abel
Knoll
- The recent drilling programs at the Long Canyon project extended gold
mineralization and confirmed the presence of multiple zones of gold
mineralization
- Some holes from the Phase Two 2006 drilling program at the
Northumberland project encountered gold mineralization approaching
underground mineable grades
- Subsequent to quarter-end, we completed a first time resource at
Sandman (compliant with NI 43-101) with measured and indicated gold
resources of 271,900 contained ounces and inferred gold resources of
38,000 contained ounces (representing approximately 8.0 million tons
with an average gold grade of 0.034 oz Au/ton for measured and
indicated resources and approximately 1.4 million tons with an
average gold grade of 0.027 oz Au/ton for inferred resources)


"This initial NI 43-101 compliant resource at Sandman brings our
share of total measured and indicated resources to approximately 1.8
million contained gold equivalent ounces together with inferred
resources of 239,000 contained gold equivalent ounces," said Steve
Alfers, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to
Sandman, the progress we have made on our other high priority gold
projects positions us for extending and discovering new
mineralization together with adding more resource ounces."

Gold equivalent ounces are calculated at a gold-silver ratio of
67:1.

Sandman Project Update

In the first quarter of 2007, NewWest announced the results from
the second of a two-phase 2006 drilling program at its Sandman
project (Sandman). Sandman is an advanced exploration project
spanning approximately 19,000 acres, entirely owned by NewWest. The
entire 2006 drilling program at Sandman included 170 drill holes with
total footage exceeding 60,000 feet. Specific achievements from the
Phase Two drilling program are as follows:


- Expanded a newly discovered zone of mineralization at Abel Knoll;
- Extended near-surface mineralization at Silica Ridge by 700 feet,
where the mineralization remains open; and
- Encountered a high-grade intercept at North Hill and extended
mineable-grade gold mineralization, where the mineralization remains
open


NewWest's successful drilling program enabled it to complete its
first NI 43-101 compliant resource at the project subsequent to
quarter-end, with measured and indicated gold resources of 271,900
contained ounces and another 38,000 contained ounces of inferred gold
resources. This represents approximately 8.0 million tons with an
average gold grade of 0.034 oz Au/ton for measured and indicated
resources and approximately 1.4 million tons with an average gold
grade of 0.027 oz Au/ton for inferred resources.

NewWest's focus for the 2007 drilling program is threefold. First,
to increase the resources at the known deposits by further defining
and drilling structures which control mineralization; second, to
conduct follow-up drilling on three district targets and third, to
define and explore frontier target areas to discover new deposits.
All of the deposits have potential for discovering more ounces.

Long Canyon Project Update

In the first quarter of 2007, NewWest announced results from the
second of a two-phase drilling program at the Long Canyon project
(Long Canyon), one of NewWest's principal projects in the Eastern
Great Basin area of Elko County, Nevada. The entire 2006 drilling
program at Long Canyon consisted of 25 holes totaling 10,405 feet,
and included construction of access roads, systematic geologic
mapping and sampling. In addition to successfully extending the known
mineralization, gold mineralization remains open in all directions
and at depth. The 2007 exploration program will include core and
reverse circulation drilling, surface and road cut mapping and
sampling and aerial photography.

Northumberland Project Update

In the first quarter of 2007, NewWest announced results from the
drilling program at its Northumberland project (Northumberland). The
two-phase exploration drilling program was carried out by Newmont USA
Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE:NEM)
("Newmont"), at a total cost of approximately US$3.0 million. The
drilling program included 54 holes with a total footage of 55,357.
The drilling program encountered excellent grades and thicknesses in
step-outs from a previously discovered feeder system. While the
feasibility has not been assessed, this suggests that a portion of
the Zanzibar deposit may be exploitable by either open-pit or
underground mining.
