"For the year, with these Phase Two results included, we extended
the  mineralization 1,200 feet to the southwest and 500 feet to the
northeast,"  said Steve Alfers, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "Based upon these  positive results, we are moving forward
with our planning for an aggressive  2007 drill program at Long
Canyon."
The 2006 drilling program has confirmed and extended
mineralization  along approximately 3,000 feet of the Long Canyon
target and documented  that multiple zones of gold mineralization are
present. Holes LC-031, LC- 032 and LC-033 extend drilled
mineralization approximately 400 feet along  strike to the southwest
in the main Long Canyon zone of mineralization. The  target as
defined by the soil and rock chip sampling remains open to the
southwest for approximately 1,800 feet. Phase Two hole LC-037 extends
the  jasperoid zone of mineralization found earlier in 2006 in hole
LC-030 by  200 feet along strike to the southwest. This zone is open
to the northeast  and southwest.
Phase Two results for Long Canyon and a map of the drill-hole
locations  are available on the News page of NewWest's website at
www.newwestgold.com.
All drill samples were collected following standard industry
practice  and were assayed by American Assay Laboratories, Inc. of
Sparks, Nevada.  Gold results were determined using standard fire
assay techniques on a  thirty gram sample with an atomic absorption
finish. QA/QC included the  insertion of standards and blanks into
the sample stream.
Joint Venture Agreement
NewWest and AuEx Ventures Inc. ("AuEx") recently signed the
definitive  Joint Venture Agreement ("Agreement") for the Long Canyon
project whereby  the two parties combined their respective land
positions in the Long Canyon  Area. Under the terms of the Agreement,
NewWest is the operator and may  earn a 51% interest in the
consolidated project if it spends $5 million on  the project over a
five year period. As of December 31, 2006, NewWest  expended
approximately US$850,000 against this earn-in obligation. After
completion, the Company may elect to carry AuEx through feasibility,
if  warranted, thereby earning an additional 14%. The terms of the
Agreement  are consistent with the terms disclosed in the Company's
release dated  November 14, 2006.
