Newgold, Inc.'s Lander County Nevada Red Caps Project Begins Geophysical Data Acquisition

. (OTCBB: NGLD) has announced that it has chosen to acquire "High-Definition Aeromagnetic Data" from Edcon-PRJ for the Red Caps Project. This is a 200 meter (600') line spacing aerial survey draped 150 meters (450') above the terrain. Newgold will interpret the data and identify faults, alterations and buried intrusive stocks of potentially hosting mineralization. "High-Definition Aeromagnetic Data" is data that represent the magnetic response of the earth as measured from an airplane flying near the surface. Many minerals when formed contain iron in the form of magnetite which was the original compass needle. Different rock types have different initial concentrations of the mineral magnetite. Alteration and the effects of faults are some of the processes that can destroy, or change the magnetite, thus changing the magnetic response. By experience from testing various magnetic responses in the field, and in the lab, a geophysicist can to some degree of confidence provide explanations for the pattern of magnetic response observed.

A past Induced Polarization (IP) survey from previous operators in the vicinity is also being incorporated into the ongoing exploration database. The IP survey has highlighted the range front bounding fault(s) position, angle and possible offsets below the pediment cover, in the area south of the historic Beatty O'Neal mine, located just south of the Red Caps Project. Induced Polarization is a geophysical method where the resistivity and conductance of the earth to electrical current flow is measured. The introduction of silica into a rock body by hydrothermal fluids is known to reduce conductivity and increase resistivity. Faults generally tend to increase conductivity and reduce resistivity.

Other geophysical techniques such as gravity surveys, Controlled Source Audio-Frequency Magneto-Tellurics (CSAMT), and variations on IP, and Electromagnetic (EM) methods are being reviewed to best illustrate structural features, potential intrusive bodies, and alteration. Structural intersections have in the past been identified with bonanza grades at the Beatty O'Neal mine, and could also be the location of enhanced hydrothermal fluid paths in the areas covered by Newgold, Inc.'s project. Recognition of a geophysical response in relation to a surface geochemical anomaly is one of the goals of the geophysics program being designed.

Newgold, Inc. is seeking to develop at its Red Caps Project an open pit, and / or underground gold mine, and is also looking at the potential for of an underground copper-moly mine. The Red Caps Project, along with the Crescent Valley Project, is part of the Crescent Red Caps Joint Venture. The joint venture partners are Newgold and an entity owned by A. Scott Dockter, Chairman and CEO of Newgold. Newgold is the operator of the joint venture.

Golden Gate Announces New Improvements to Power Reduction Software; PowerGold Delivers More Power Reduction and Runs Faster; Customers Observe 10% to More Than 20% Reduction in Dynamic and Leakage Power in Tapeout-Ready Designs

Design Automation Conference Booth Number 3332 -- Golden Gate Technology Inc., a company focused on power reduction in nanometer electronic design, announced that it has improved the power reduction capabilities and run time of its flagship software product, PowerGold™ (formerly called Power Optimize Gold™).

PowerGold version 6.2 reduces power consumption 10% to 20% or more and runs 2 to 3 times faster than the previous version, announced last year. It complements industry-standard cell physical design flows, such as those supported by Cadence Design Systems, Magma Design Automation and Synopsys.

PowerGold will be demonstrated at Booth 3332, at the Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, July 24-27, 2006.

"Power reduction is on the top of the list of our customers' concerns," said Dennis Heller, Golden Gate CEO. "At their request, we have improved the power optimization and runtime of our flagship product."

What's New in PowerGold -- Faster run times, Improved power reduction

Power Gold version 6.2 achieves faster runtimes through improvements in the core power optimization algorithms. In addition, new logic restructuring algorithms further reduce power consumption. PowerGold can reduce both dynamic and leakage power, with an average power reduction of more than 15% across typical designs. PowerGold's power reduction capability has been validated on more than 10 customer designs done with Cadence, Magma, and Synopsys physical design flows in 90 nm and 130 nm process technologies. Customers are now evaluating PowerGold for use with 65 nm processes.

More about PowerGold

PowerGold reduces power at several stages in the physical design flow. It works with placement and clock tree synthesis to reduce power consumption in critical clock networks. Because wires account for 5x more power consumption than transistors at the 90-nanometer node, and are projected to account for 30x more power consumption than transistors at 35 nanometers, Golden Gate's power reduction software gives wires priority with its patent-pending optimization technology called WiresFirst. WiresFirst minimizes total capacitance on critical clock and signal nets through route optimization and isolation techniques that reduce power without negatively impacting chip timing, signal integrity or electromigration.

Consistent with a wire-centric approach, PowerGold employs the WiresFirst Routing Prototype Engine at the placement stage to minimize clock wire capacitance. After initial routing, WiresFirst algorithms incrementally rebalance capacitances and restructure logic to reduce excess power consumption with minimal perturbation to a design's timing and physical layout characteristics. Various power reduction techniques implemented by PowerGold are cumulative.

PowerGold supports multiple threshold voltage cell libraries to reduce leakage current without negatively impacting timing. Because PowerGold reduces wire capacitance with the WiresFirst algorithm, low-leakage cells are used more frequently than in traditional design flows, resulting in greater leakage power reduction. PowerGold has the capacity to reduce power on large designs -- up to 10M gates in an overnight run on a 32-bit OS or unlimited gate size on a 64-bit OS.

Price & Availability

PowerGold version 6.2 is available now for Solaris and Linux. Contact Golden Gate Technology for pricing information.

Cool Vest for Pets Introduced Just in Time for Dog Days of Summer!

-- One of the hottest pet items in Japan has just arrived to keep dogs here in the U.S. cool during the dog days of summer. The Cool Vest™ is made with a special fabric that absorbs and retains water well. It contains no chemical gels. By simply soaking the adjustable, easy to wear, vest in water, it provides a protective layer from direct and indirect sunlight and heat. Its laminated lining keeps dogs dry.

The sporty vest, in five sizes and two colors, orange or blue, is good for all kinds of dogs, from puppies to seniors. It covers vital organs, providing optimum cooling effects without the excessive coldness that would be harmful to a dog's health.

The vest requires no refrigeration. It utilizes a simple scientific principle -- cooling through evaporation. As water, soaked in the vest's special fabric, gradually transforms from a liquid state into vapor, it takes the heat away. It's just like wearing a wet T-shirt to the beach! It takes less than a few minutes to prepare and on average Cool Vest™ remains effective from 45 minutes to 2 hrs depending on air temperature and humidity levels. To refresh the effect, only thing you need to do is to wet it again with a bottle of water.

Cool Vest™ is truly beneficial for dogs as heat is one of the worst health hazards for dogs. As it is very thin and light in weight even when it's soaked, it is suitable and convenient for many occasions from routine walks around the corner to long-hour outings in the mountainside.

It's easy to care for, too. Simply hand wash in warm water with mild soap and hang dry. Cool Vest™ was one of the best selling new pet products in Japan last year.

This vest helps reducing heat fatigue but is not intended to prevent heatstroke by itself. Always provide drinking water to your dog and choose a shady area for pets even when the product is worn. This is for pet external use only. This vest is not a life vest or harness and does not float in water.

Cool Vest is manufactured by Radic, Inc. in Japan, and is distributed by Gramercy Distribution, Inc. in North America.

  Light*Waves Opens Shanghai Manufacturing Plant

-- Joel Slavis, CEO of Light*Waves Concept, announced the opening of the company's first overseas manufacturing plant, based in Shanghai, China. The Shanghai plant joins Light*Waves' Industrial City original and ongoing facility in Brooklyn, New York.

"This new plant was made possible by Light*Waves' phenomenal growth in the past few years," said Slavis. "Our sales have been growing on an average of 220 percent annually and there's no way our original plant could keep up with the demand."

In addition to manufacturing Light*Waves' lines of designer lighting fixtures, the Shanghai facility will be heavily involved in the company's growing line of energy-saving light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures. "With ongoing concerns about global warming and limited energy resources the demand for these high-tech fixtures is going to skyrocket," Slavis predicted. He noted that the Shanghai plant is ideally situated to manufacture and ship large quantities of lighting fixtures to the growing East European and Asian markets directly from the factory.

Slavis added that the Shanghai plant will also be participating in Light*Waves' extensive research and development efforts. "On the average, we've been introducing a new fixture every other month for a while now. I think it's safe to say you'll see even more growth in our product lines from here on."

Israel and Middle East Volatility Dominate Security Market Discussions

www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com (HDS), a global investor and industry news portal for the homeland defense and security sector, presents a Spade Defense Index Sector Update. With the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah creating one the decade's most serious Middle East crises, many within the investment community are evaluating its potential market impact. Scott Sacknoff, President, The Spade Defense Index® (AMEX: DXS), provides insight into the homeland security and defense market domestically and abroad in light of the Middle East volatility.

Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told the Israeli parliament on Monday that the offensive against the Hezbollah will continue until the two captured soldiers are returned, and the Lebanese army takes control of southern Lebanon. While a diplomatic resolution has yet to be achieved, international leaders are working towards solutions to help contain and resolve the situation to avoid further bloodshed.

In looking at the potential impact for investors and participating companies in the security sector, Scott Sacknoff explains, "As a leading exporter of defense equipment to the world, especially to Israel, companies exporting there should see orders for replacement parts and equipment to replace that which is being used. Were the conflict to expand into Iran and Syria, it would likely bring some reaction by the United States. Similarly, nearby countries such as Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia which have relationships with Israel and the United States could also end up in the foray. In these cases, U.S. aid and overall spending on defense systems would rise. If the end result is a destabilized region or one where tensions continue to be high, then the forecasted slowing in the growth of U.S. expenditures on defense might be delayed."
