New Gold provides an update on the companys exploration success at the Peak Mines (Peak). The companys 2015 exploration efforts have resulted in the discovery of two new zones of polymetallic mineralization, Chronos and Anjea, both located right away adjacent to current and past-producing ore deposits within Peaks main nine-kilometre long mine corridor. Chronos is a zone of gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc mineralization located directly above the Perseverance ore body which is presently in production and adjacent to the Peak mill. Anjea is a zone of copper-gold-silver-lead-zinc mineralization located adjacent to the historic Great Cobar mine and about nine kilometres north of the Peak mill.

We are very happy to have discovered two new zones of mineralization in such close proximity to our existing infrastructure, stated Mark Petersen, Vice President Exploration. It is rewarding to see a mine that has already delivered over twenty years of resource replacement continue to demonstrate such strong potential for new discoveries. We look forward to building further on the results at both Chronos and Anjea in addition to several newly emerging mineralized prospects between them.
