The company repaid $260 million in debt obligations ahead of schedule and completed a flotation cleaner circuit upgrade at New Afton, which is achieving designed recovery improvements. Exploration updates at both the New Afton and Rainy River mines indicate potential for future resource growth. Reasoning: New Gold reported a strong Q3 2025 with record production and free cash flow, exceeding expectations and allowing for significant debt repayment. While New Afton's gold production and recovery saw a slight decline, copper recovery improved, and Rainy River's gold recovery also increased. The company is on track for annual guidance, and exploration updates indicate future resource growth. - Positive factor: Record consolidated gold production - Positive factor: Record free cash flow generation - Positive factor: Significant debt repayment ahead of schedule - Positive factor: New Afton flotation cleaner circuit upgrade achieving designed recovery improvements for copper - Positive factor: Rainy River gold recovery improved - Positive factor: K-Zone mineralization extended with maiden resource expected - Positive factor: NW Trend mineralization extended - Negative factor: New Afton gold production and recovery decreased quarter-over-quarter - Negative factor: Consolidated cash costs trending above guidance midpoint - Negative factor: Consolidated all-in sustaining costs trending at high end of guidance - Negative factor: Rainy River cash costs at high end of guidance due to higher underground mining costs Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **High Recovery** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: Rainy River's gold recovery of 94% is above the strong band \(90%\) for mill\_cil processing. Evidence · table > 94 Context: Gold recovery \(%\) **Recovery Improving** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery improved versus a like-for-like prior test program on the same domain and route. Why it applies: Rainy River's gold recovery of 94% in Q3 2025 is an improvement over Q3 2024's 93% and prior RAG values of 91% and 93%. Evidence · table > 94 Context: Gold recovery \(%\) **Recovery Improving** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery improved versus a like-for-like prior test program on the same domain and route. Why it applies: New Afton's copper recovery of 90% in Q3 2025 is an improvement over Q3 2024's 88% and prior RAG values of 87% and 88%. Evidence · table > 90 % Context: Copper recovery \(%\) **Low Recovery** Polarity: negative Definition: Recovery below the weak band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: New Afton's gold recovery of 84% in Q3 2025 is below the moderate band \(85%\) for mill\_cil processing and lower than Q3 2024's 86%. Evidence · table > 84 % Context: Gold recovery \(%\) **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: the document describes a flotation route \("flotation"\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.
