NewWest Gold Corporation Reports Positive Results of Roadcut Rock-Chip Samples at Long Canyon

Lakewood, Colorado (ots/PRNewswire)

NewWest Gold Corporation
(TSX: NWG) ("NewWest") today announced results  of roadcut rock-chip
channel sampling at its Long Canyon project, one of  NewWest's
principal projects in the Eastern Great Basin area of Elko County ,
Nevada. NewWest previously reported the results of its Phase One
drilling  program at Long Canyon on September 21, 2006. The Phase One
drilling  program consisted of 16 reverse-circulation drill holes
totaling 6,610 feet  and the construction of approximately 5,100 feet
of access roads. Results  from the Phase One drilling program
included the best drill intercept to  date at Long Canyon.
NewWest's wholly owned subsidiary, NewWest Gold USA Inc. is the
manager of a joint venture at Long Canyon with AuEx Ventures, Inc
(TSX-V:  XAU) ("AuEx"). Under the terms of the joint venture, the two
companies  combined NewWest's private land position with AuEx's
mining claims at Long  Canyon. NewWest's initial interest on the
project is 51% and AuEx's  interest is 49%. NewWest has the right to
earn its 51% in the project by  spending US$5.0 million within five
years. Once NewWest completes its earn- in, NewWest has the option to
increase its ownership to 65% by completing a  feasibility study.
"These roadcut rock-chip sampling results confirm our
interpretation  of the structure and stratigraphy at Long Canyon,"
said Steve Alfers,  President and CEO. "Based on these results, we
are currently re-evaluating  our previous Phase Two drill plans and
expect to begin drilling in early  November."
Systematic rock-chip channel sampling and detailed geologic
mapping of  the new roadcut exposures were recently completed,
representing a critical  element in the interpretation of the geology
and the controls on gold  mineralization. The roadcut rock-chip
sampling extended the known zone of  mineralization 1,200 feet to the
south including 40 feet with an average  grade of 0.272 ounces of
gold per ton (oz Au/ton). All sample intervals are  reported as
collected; investigations to determine true widths are ongoing.  The
results from the roadcut channel sampling (using a 0.010 oz Au/ton
cutoff) are reported below. A map showing the location of the
mineralized  roadcut intervals is available on the Company's website
at  www.newwestgold.com.

The Long Canyon mineralization is now documented by both drill
holes  and surface intercepts along a strike length of 3,000 feet.
The remaining  1,800 feet of the southwestern portion of the defined
target remains  undrilled. These results have also established the
presence of outcropping  mineralization to the west of the known gold
target and in areas without  anomalous gold in soils, representing
potential new targets not previously  recognized.
Each sample was taken following standard industry practice and was
collected from approximately 10 feet or less of rock exposure. Each
sample  weighed approximately one to two kilograms. Calculated
intervals are  continuous sets of samples exceeding 0.010 oz Au/ton.
All samples were  prepared and assayed by American Assay
Laboratories, Inc. of Sparks, Nevada . Gold results were determined
using standard fire assay techniques on a 30  gram sample with an
atomic absorption finish.
