    RE: NEWGOLD,
      INC.

    


    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

    


    We
      are
      counsel to Newgold, Inc., (the “Company”),
      and
      have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase
      Agreement, dated as of September __, 2006 (the “Securities
      Purchase Agreement”),
      entered into by and among the Company and the Buyers set forth on Schedule
      I
      attached thereto (collectively the “Buyers”)
      pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell to the Buyers up to $2,200,000
      of secured convertible debentures, which shall be convertible into shares (the
      “Conversion
      Shares”)
      of the
      Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
      Stock”),
      in
      accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to
      the
      Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration
      Rights Agreement, dated as of September ___, 2006, with the Buyers (the
“Investor
      Registration Rights Agreement”)
      pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the
      Conversion Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“1933
      Act”).
      In
      connection with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase
      Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on _______, 2006, the Company
      filed a Registration Statement (File No. ___-_________) (the “Registration
      Statement”)
      with
      the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
      relating to the sale of the Conversion Shares.

     

    In
      connection with the foregoing, we advise the Transfer Agent that a member of
      the
      SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order
      declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at ____ P.M.
      on __________, 2006 and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a
      member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has
      been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or
      threatened by, the SEC and the Conversion Shares are available for sale under
      the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

    The

      applicable to it including applicable prospectus delivery requirements upon
      sale
      of the Conversion Shares.

    VIA
      FACSIMILE AND REGULAR MAIL

    


    ________

    


    


    Attention: 

    


    RE: NEWGOLD,
      INC.

    


    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

     

    We
      have
      acted as special counsel to Newgold, Inc. (the “Company”),
      in
      connection with the registration of ___________shares (the “Shares”)
      of its
      common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
      We
      have
      not acted as your counsel. This opinion is given at the request and with the
      consent of the Company.

     

    In
      rendering this opinion we have relied on the accuracy of the Company’s
      Registration Statement on Form SB-2, as amended (the “Registration
      Statement”),
      filed
      by the Company with the SEC on _________ ___, 2006. The Company filed the
      Registration Statement on behalf of certain selling stockholders (the
“Selling
      Stockholders”).
      This
      opinion relates solely
      to the
      Selling Shareholders listed on Exhibit
      “A”
      hereto
      and number of Shares set forth opposite such Selling Stockholders’ names. The
      SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on __________ ___,
      2006.

     

    We
      understand that the Selling Stockholders acquired the Shares in a private
      offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
      Information regarding the Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders is
      contained under the heading “Selling Stockholders” in the Registration
      Statement, which information is incorporated herein by reference. This opinion
      does not relate to the issuance of the Shares to the Selling Stockholders.
      The
      opinions set forth herein relate solely to the sale or transfer by the Selling
      Stockholders pursuant to the Registration Statement under the Federal laws
      of
      the United States of America. We do not express any opinion concerning any
      law
      of any state or other jurisdiction.

     

    In
      rendering this opinion we have relied upon the accuracy of the foregoing
      statements.

     

    Based
      on
      the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been registered with
      the
      Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
      and that ________ may remove the restrictive legends contained on the Shares.
      This opinion relates solely
      to the
      number of Shares set forth opposite the Selling Stockholders listed on
Exhibit
      “A”
      hereto.

     

    This
      opinion is furnished to Transfer Agent specifically in connection with the
      sale
      or transfer of the Shares, and solely for your information and benefit. This
      letter may not be relied upon by Transfer Agent in any other connection, and
      it
      may not be relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose without
      our
      prior written consent. This opinion may not be assigned, quoted or used without
      our prior written consent. The opinions set forth herein are rendered as of
      the
      date hereof and we will not supplement this opinion with respect to changes
      in
      the law or factual matters subsequent to the date hereof.

     

    Very
      truly yours,
