PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors” and the financial statements before making an investment decision.

Issuer:		Firstgold Corp. 3108 Gabbert Drive, Suite 201 Cameron Park, CA 95682 (530) 677-5974

Description of Business:		Firstgold’s business will be to acquire, explore and, if warranted, develop various mining properties located in the state of Nevada with the objective of identifying, mining and processing gold and silver ore deposits. Firstgold plans to carryout comprehensive exploration and development programs on its properties which currently consists of various mineral leases associated with the Relief Canyon Mine located near Lovelock, Nevada. A description of our business begins on page 15 of this prospectus. On January 25, 2006, Firstgold entered into a joint venture with ASDi LLC to explore and, if warranted, develop two additional mining properties known as the Red Caps Project and the Crescent Valley Project located in the Battle Mountain - Eureka mineral belt in Nevada. A description of this joint venture begins on page 19 of this Prospectus.

The Offering:		This offering relates to the resale of shares of our Common Stock that may be acquired from time to time upon conversion of an outstanding Secured Convertible Debentures and upon exercise of outstanding warrants. The selling stockholders and the number of shares that may be sold by each are set forth on page 49 of this prospectus.

Shares:		24,865,593 shares of our Common Stock. A description of our Common Stock is set forth on page 48 of this prospectus.

Manner of Sale:		The shares of our Common Stock may be sold from time to time by the selling stockholders in open market or negotiated transactions at prices determined from time to time by the selling stockholders. A description of the manner in which sales may be made is set forth in this prospectus beginning on page 50 of this prospectus.

Use of Proceeds:		We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

RISK FACTORS

Please carefully consider the specific factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this prospectus before purchasing shares of our Common Stock. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a limited operating history and have not generated a profit since we recommenced operations, consequently our long term viability cannot be assured.

We were inactive from July 2001 to February 2003 at which time we resumed our mining related activities and have incurred losses in each reporting period since recommencing operations.

Our prospects for financial success are difficult to forecast because we have a relatively limited operating history and have not yet commenced exploration at two of our mining properties and have conducted limited exploration at the Relief Canyon mining property. Our prospects for financial success must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by exploration stage mining companies initiating exploration of unproven properties. Our business could be subject to any or all of the problems, expenses, delays and risks inherent in the establishment of a gold and silver exploration enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in mining explorations and development, failure to identify commercially viable gold or silver deposits, possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in exploration and are processing, uncertain gold and silver market prices, inability to accurately predict mining results and attract and retain qualified employees. Therefore, there can be no assurance that our exploration or mining will be successful, that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitable operations or that we will not encounter unforeseen difficulties that may deplete our capital resources more rapidly than anticipated.

If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail and our investors could lose their investment.

We had cash in the amount of $918,138 and working capital deficit of $2,173,997 as of October 31, 2006. We currently do not generate revenues from our operations. Our business plan calls for substantial investment and cost in connection with the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties currently under lease or joint venture. Any direct acquisition of any of the claims under lease or joint venture is subject to our ability to obtain the financing necessary for us to fund and carry out exploration programs on the subject properties. The requirements are substantial. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including market prices for minerals, investor acceptance of our properties, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unfavorable to us. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of additional equity capital and loans. Any sale of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders

while incurring additional debt will result in encumbrances on our property and future cash flows.

Because there is no assurance when we will generate revenues, we may deplete our cash reserves and not have sufficient outside sources of capital to complete our exploration or mining programs.

We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus and have never been profitable. To date we have been involved primarily in financing activities and no exploration activities. We do not have an interest in any revenue generating properties. Prior to our being able to generate revenues, we will incur substantial operating and exploration expenditures without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. Our net loss for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 was $2,645,231 and our net loss for the nine months ended October 31, 2006 was $3,649,402.

Due to our continuing losses from business operations, our independent auditor’s report dated April 26, 2006, includes a “going concern” explanation relating to the fact that our continued operations are dependent upon obtaining additional working capital either through significantly increasing revenues or through outside financing. We are currently operating with limited cash reserves and no revenues which could inhibit our ability to continue in business or achieve our business objectives.

Because of the speculative nature of exploration of natural resource properties, there is substantial risk that we will not find commercially viable gold or silver ore deposits which would reduce our realization of revenues.

There is no assurance that any of the claims we explore or acquire will contain commercially exploitable reserves of gold or silver minerals. Exploration for natural resources is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. Success in exploration is dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, quality of management, quality and availability of geological expertise and availability of exploration capital. Due to these and other factors, no assurance can be given that our exploration programs will result in the discovery of new mineral reserves or resources.

We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need for exploration, which could cause us to delay or suspend operations.

Demand for drilling equipment and limited industry suppliers may result in occasional shortages of supplies, and certain equipment such as drilling rigs that we need to conduct exploration activities. While we have acquired a used mobile drilling rig, we have not negotiated any long term contracts with any suppliers of products, equipment or services. If we cannot find the trained employees and equipment when required, we will have to suspend or curtail our exploration plans until such services and equipment can be obtained.

We have no known ore reserves and we cannot predict when and if we will find commercial quantities of mineral ore deposits. The failure to identify and extract commercially viable mineral ore deposits will affect our ability to generate revenues.

We have no known ore reserves and there can be no assurance that any of the mineral claims we are exploring contain commercial quantities of gold or silver. Even if we identify commercial reserves, we cannot predict whether we will be able to mine the reserves on a profitable basis, if at all.

We have entered into one joint venture in which our joint venture partner is an affiliate and we initially own a minority interest. Consequently, we may be unable to influence or prevent actions pertaining to the joint venture property which we disagree with.

We have acquired the exploration rights to two mining properties from ASDi LLC whose sole manager and majority member is A. Scott Dockter, President and CEO of Firstgold. Consequently, Mr. Dockter has a conflict of interest in this joint venture. Furthermore, ASDi LLC will initially hold a 77.78% interest in a newly formed Nevada LLC through which the joint venture will be operated. While Firstgold will be the sole manager of the Nevada LLC, Mr. Dockter will be able to control the joint venture activities through his position with the Manager (Firstgold) and through his ownership and control of the majority member (ASDi LLC). While Mr. Dockter will endeavor to always act in the best interest of Firstgold and its stockholders, stockholders will have only limited ability to influence or object to actions taken by the Nevada LLC in exploring, developing and capital spending on the joint venture properties. In addition, the lessors have given notices of termination of the leases covering the joint venture property claiming that the contribution of the leases to the joint venture was a breach of the leases. While ASDi LLC disputes that a breach has occurred and the lease terminations, the matter has yet to be resolved. Should the lease terminations be held valid, we would lose the opportunity to explore and possibly develop this property in the future.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan.

Firstgold is substantially dependent upon the continued services of A. Scott Dockter, its President. We have an employment agreement with Mr. Dockter, but do not have either key person life insurance or disability insurance on Mr. Dockter. While Mr. Dockter expects to spend the majority of his time assisting Firstgold and its business, there can be no assurance that Mr. Dockter’s services will remain available to Firstgold. If Mr. Dockter’s services are not available to Firstgold, Firstgold will be materially and adversely affected. However, in addition to his three year employment agreement, Mr. Dockter has been a significant stockholder of Firstgold since its inception and considers his investment of time and money in Firstgold of significant personal value. Our success is also largely dependent on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel. This is particularly true in the highly technical business such as mineral exploration. These individuals are in high demand and we may not be able to retain the personnel we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Failure to hire key personnel when needed, or on acceptable terms, to carryout our exploration and mining programs would have a significant negative effect on our business.

Because the probability of many of the individual mining prospects explored will not show commercially viable amounts of gold or silver ore deposits, substantial amounts of funds spent on exploration will not result in identifiable reserves.

The probability of our exploration program identifying individual prospects having commercially significant reserves cannot be predicted. It is likely that many of the properties explored will not contain any commercially significant reserves. As such substantial funds will be spent on exploration which may identify only a few, if any, claims having commercial development potential.

Our mining claims could be contested which would add significant costs and delays to our exploration programs.

Our mining property rights consist of 146 mill site and unpatented mining claims at the Relief Canyon Mine; 96 unpatented mining claims at the Red Caps project; and 39 unpatented mining claims at the Crescent Valley project. The validity of unpatented mining claims is often uncertain and is always subject to contest. Unpatented mining claims are generally considered subject to greater title risk than patented mining claims, or real property interests that are owned in fee simple. If title to a particular property is successfully challenged, we may not be able to develop or retain our royalty interests on that property, which could reduce our future revenues.

Mining operations are subject to extensive federal and state regulation which increases the costs of compliance and possible liability for non-compliance.

Mining is subject to extensive regulation by state and federal regulatory authorities. State and federal statutes regulate environmental quality, safety, exploration procedures, reclamation, employees’ health and safety, use of explosives, air quality standards, pollution of stream and fresh water sources, noxious odors, noise, dust, and other environmental protection controls as well as the rights of adjoining property owners. We believe that we are currently operating in compliance with all known safety and environmental standards and regulations applicable to our Nevada properties or are in the process of remediating our property to be compliant. However, there can be no assurance that our compliance could be challenged or that future changes in federal or Nevada laws, regulations or interpretations thereof will not have a material adverse affect on our ability to resume and sustain mining operations.

Mining operations are subject to various risks and hazards which could result in significant costs or hinder ongoing operations.

The business of gold mining is subject to certain types of risks, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, and theft. We expect to secure insurance against certain property damage loss (including business interruption) and comprehensive general liability insurance. While we will maintain insurance consistent with industry practice, it is not possible to insure against all risks associated with the mining business, or prudent to assume that insurance will continue to be available at a reasonable cost. We have not obtained environmental liability insurance because such coverage is not considered by management to be cost effective. We currently carry no insurance on any of our properties due to the current status of our mine operations.

Compliance with corporate governance and public disclosure regulations may result in additional expenses.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and new regulations issued by the Securities and

Exchange Commission, are creating uncertainty for companies. In order to comply with these laws, we may need to invest substantial resources to comply with evolving standards, and this investment would result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

Our officers and directors have limited liability and have indemnification rights

Our Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors against losses sustained or liabilities incurred which arise from any transaction in that officer’s or director’s respective managerial capacity unless that officer or director violates a duty of loyalty, did not act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated the law, approved an improper dividend, or derived an improper benefit from the transaction.

Risks Related to Our Stock

Our Stock Price is Volatile.

The market price of a share of our Common Stock has fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2007, through October 31, 2006, the high and low sales prices of a share of Firstgold common stock were $0.53 and $0.14 respectively. During fiscal year 2006, through January 31, 2006, the high and low sales prices of a share of Firstgold Common Stock were $0.34 and $0.10, respectively. During fiscal year 2005, the high and low sales prices of a share of our Common Stock were $0.36 and $0.02, respectively. The market price of a share of our Common Stock may continue to fluctuate in response to a number of factors, including:

·	results of our exploration program;

·	fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;

·	fluctuations in the market price of gold and silver;

·	the loss of services of one or more of our executive officers or other key employees;

·	adverse effects to our operating results due to unforeseen difficulties affecting our exploration program; and

·	general economic and market conditions.

We may need to raise funds through debt or equity financings in the future, which would dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders and possibly subordinate certain of their rights to the rights of new investors or creditors.

We may choose to raise additional funds in debt or equity financings if they are available to us on terms we believe reasonable to increase our working capital, strengthen our financial position or to make acquisitions. Any sales of additional equity or convertible debt securities would

result in dilution of the equity interests of our existing stockholders, which could be substantial. Additionally, if we issue shares of preferred stock or convertible debt to raise funds, the holders of those securities might be entitled to various preferential rights over the holders of our Common Stock, including repayment of their investment, and possibly additional amounts, before any payments could be made to holders of our Common Stock in connection with an acquisition of the Company. Such additional debt, if authorized, would create rights and preferences that would be senior to, or otherwise adversely affect, the rights and the value of our Common Stock. Also, new investors may require that we and certain of our stockholders enter into voting arrangements that give them additional voting control or representation on our board of directors.

Inadequate market liquidity may make it difficult to sell our stock.

There is currently a public market for our Common Stock, but we can give no assurance that there will always be such a market. Only a limited number of shares of our Common Stock are actively traded in the public market and we cannot give assurance that the market for our stock will develop sufficiently to create significant market liquidity. An investor may find it difficult or impossible to sell shares of our Common Stock in the public market because of the limited number of potential buyers at any time. In addition, the shares of our Common Stock are not eligible as a margin security and lending institutions may not accept our Common Stock as collateral for a loan.

The application of the “penny stock regulation” could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock

Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Our securities may be subject to “penny stock rules” that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Consequently, the “penny stock rules” may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to buy and sell our securities and may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity of our Common Stock in the secondary market.

We may engage in future acquisitions that dilute our stockholders and cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities.

As part of our strategy, we expect to review opportunities to acquire or participate in the exploration of other mining properties that would complement our current exploration or mining program, or that may otherwise offer growth opportunities. In the event of any future acquisitions, we could:

·	issue stock that would dilute current stockholders' percentage ownership;

·	incur debt; or

·	assume liabilities.

These acquisitions also involve numerous risks, including:

·	problems combining additional exploration or mining opportunities with current business operations:

·	unanticipated costs;

·	holding a minority interest in other joint ventures or partnerships;

·	possible financial commitments to fund development;

·	risks associated with exploring new mining property with negative results; and

·	possible shared control with other persons or entities.

We cannot assure you that we will realize positive exploration results from the newly acquired Red Caps and Crescent Valley projects or any additional mining rights we may participate in or acquire in the future.

Risks Relating to Our Current Financing Arrangement

We have significant "equity overhang" which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.

As of January 31, 2007, Firstgold had approximately 88,533,607 shares of Common Stock outstanding and convertible debentures which are convertible into up to 20,618,750 shares of our Common Stock. Additionally, warrants to purchase a total of 15,363,457 shares and options to purchase 2,350,000 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding as of January 31, 2007. Furthermore, up to an additional 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock could become issuable to the convertible debenture holders if a default were to occur. The possibility that substantial amounts of our outstanding Common Stock may be sold by investors or the perception that such sales could occur, often called "equity overhang," could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities in the future.

The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our secured convertible debenture could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares upon conversion, which will cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.

At the time of entering into the $3,000,000 Secured Convertible Debenture (“Convertible Debenture”) with Cornell Capital Partners, the Fixed Conversion Price was $0.4735 per share which would equal approximately 6,335,797 if the entire principal were converted into Firstgold Common Stock. This represents the minimum number of shares issuable upon the conversion of

the Convertible Debentures. However, the Convertible Debenture provides for the conversion rate at any given time to be the lower of the Fixed Conversion Price or 95% of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price of Firstgold’s Common Stock during the 30 trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date as quoted in Bloomberg, LP (“Market Conversion Price”). Consequently, if the market price for Firstgold Common Stock should remain below $0.4735 per share, we would be required to issue substantially more shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Convertible Debenture. The issuance of significantly more shares at a lower conversion price would have a dilutive effect to our current stockholders. See the Table on page 15.

If an event of default occurs under the Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 26, 2006, Secured Convertible Debenture or the Security Agreement, the investors could take possession of all our mining rights held in the Relief Canyon property.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 26, 2006, as amended, we executed a Security Agreement in favor of Cornell Capital Partners granting them a first priority security interest in all of our leasehold interests and mining rights to the Relief Canyon property as well as any equipment or improvements located on such property. The Security Agreement states that if an event of default occurs under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Secured Convertible Debenture or Security Agreement, Cornell Capital Partners have the right to take possession of the collateral, to operate our business using the collateral, and have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or part of the collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise to satisfy our obligations under these agreements.

In the event a default occurs under the Secured Convertible Debenture, we may be required to issue up to an additional 10,000,000 shares of Firstgold Common Stock as an additional penalty for such default. If such shares were to be issued, we would be required to file a subsequent registration statement covering those additional shares and resulting in further dilution to existing stockholders and expense to Firstgold.

As an additional inducement to Cornell Capital Partners to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement, the event of a default in the Convertible Debenture, we would be required, in addition to other remedies provided, to issue up to an additional 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to Cornell Capital Partners as an additional penalty for such default. (The exact number of shares dependent on the amount of principal debt remaining unpaid at the time a default was declared). In addition to having a dilutive affect on our existing stockholders, we would be required to file a subsequent registration statement covering such additional shares. The filing of an additional registration statement would result in substantial costs to us.

Our financial condition and the restrictive covenants contained in our outstanding debt may limit our ability to borrow additional funds or to raise additional equity as may be required to fund our future operations.

The terms of our outstanding Secured Convertible Debenture with Cornell Capital Partners may limit our ability, without Cornell Capital’s consent, to, among other things:

·	enter into certain transactions;

·	create additional liens on our assets;

·	issue preferred stock or Common Stock at certain discounts below market prices; or

·	merge or consolidate with other entities.

These restrictions could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to attract additional funding as required.

We may not be able to pay our debt and other obligations and our assets may be seized as a result.

We do not have sufficient funds to repay our outstanding debt at maturity and we may not generate the cash flow required to pay our liabilities as they become due. Our outstanding debt includes approximately $3,000,000 and accrued interest on the Convertible Debentures with Cornell Capital Partners due between September 26, 2009, and February ___, 2010. If Cornell Capital Partners determines not to convert the Debentures into shares of Firstgold Common Stock they may require us to repay all of the principal and interest outstanding under the Debentures under certain circumstances. We may not have sufficient cash reserves to repay the Debentures at such time, which would cause an event of default under the Debentures and may force us to declare bankruptcy. If we raise additional funds to repay the Debentures by selling equity securities, the relative equity ownership of our existing investors could be diluted and new investors could obtain terms more favorable than previous investors.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Shares offered by this prospectus are being registered for the account of the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the selling stockholders.

BUSINESS

General

Firstgold has embarked on a business strategy whereby it will invest in, explore and if warranted, conduct mining operations of its current mining properties and other mineral producing properties. Firstgold is a public company that in the past has been engaged in the exploration, acquisition and development of gold-bearing properties in the continental United States. Currently, Firstgold’s principal assets include various mineral leases associated with the Relief Canyon Mine located near Lovelock, Nevada along with various items of mining equipment and improvements located at that site. Firstgold has also entered into a joint venture to explore additional mining properties known as the Red Caps Project and Crescent Valley Project, both of which are located in Lander County, Nevada.

From 1995 until the beginning of 2000, Firstgold had followed the above described business activity focusing on the exploration and mining of gold and silver ore deposits. At the beginning of 2000, Firstgold’s business strategy became focused on investing in Internet start-up companies. That strategy was not successful and by mid-2001 Firstgold had abandoned such investments. From approximately July 2001 until February 2003 Firstgold had been inactive. During the period of inactivity, ASDi LLC, an entity controlled by A. Scott Dockter who is also the Chairman and CEO of Firstgold, has made the necessary expenditures to maintain the current status of the Relief Canyon mining claims. In February 2003, Firstgold resumed its business of acquiring, exploring and if warranted developing its mining properties.

Firstgold's mailing address is 3108 Gabbert Drive, Suite 201, Cameron Park, CA 95682 and its telephone number is (530) 677-5974.

The Company

Firstgold, Corp., a Delaware corporation, has been engaged in the acquisition, development and exploration of gold-bearing properties in the continental United States since 1995. In fiscal 1999 Firstgold placed its only remaining property, the Relief Canyon Mine, located in Pershing County, Nevada, on a care and maintenance status. During fiscal 2000, Firstgold executed a contract to sell the Relief Canyon Mine to A. Scott Dockter, Chairman of Firstgold; however the sale was never completed and the asset remains the property of Firstgold. It is now Firstgold’s intention to resume mining at the Relief Canyon Mine. See “Business” below for further detail.

Firstgold’s prior independent accountants have included a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in their report dated April 26, 2006 on Firstgold’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, indicating substantial doubt about Firstgold’s ability to continue as a going concern (See Note 2 of Financial Footnotes). If Firstgold’s exploration program is not successful or if insufficient funds are available to carry out Firstgold’s development plans, then Firstgold will not be able to execute its business plan.

For financial information regarding Firstgold, see “Financial Statements.”

Business

Firstgold is an “exploration stage” company engaged in the search and/or verification of ore deposits (reserves) in its property. Our business will be to acquire, explore and, if warranted, develop various mining properties located in the state of Nevada. We plan to carryout comprehensive exploration and development programs on our properties. While we currently plan to fund and conduct these activities ourselves, we may in the future outsource some of these activities through the use of various joint venture, royalty or partnership arrangements pursuant to which other companies would agree to finance and carryout the exploration and development programs on our mining properties. Consequently, our current plan will require the hiring of various mining employees to perform exploration and mining activities for our various mining properties.

Properties

Relief Canyon Mine

The Relief Canyon Mine is an open-pit, heap leaching operation located approximately 110 miles northeast of Reno, Nevada. Firstgold held 50 unpatented mining claims covering approximately 1000 acres until October 2004 at which time Firstgold completed re-staking the Relief Canyon mill site and lode claims. Firstgold currently holds a total of 146 claims including 120 mill site claims and 26 unpatented mining claims. The annual payments to maintain these claims are approximately $15,600. The mine is readily accessible by improved roads. Water for mining and processing operations is provided by two wells located on the property in close proximity to the mine and processing facilities. Power is provided by a local rural electric association and phone lines are present at the mine site. Relief Canyon is located in the Humboldt Range, a mining district in Pershing County, Nevada.

Background and History

On January 10, 1995, Firstgold purchased the Relief Canyon mine from J.D. Welsh & Associates for $500,000. The mine at that time consisted of 39 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 780 acres and a lease for access to an additional 800 acres contiguous to the 39 claims located on Firstgold’s property. Located on the property are, a building containing five carbon tanks and a boiler for carbon strip solution, four detoxified leach pads, a preg pond for gold bearing solution, a barren pond for solution from which gold had been removed, water rights, and various permits. From acquisition through November 1997, Firstgold refurbished the processing facilities by the purchase and installation of all equipment required to process the gold bearing leach solution when the mine was returned to production in 1997. During 1997, Firstgold staked an additional 402 claims. However, subsequent to January 31, 1998, Firstgold reduced the total claims to 50 (covering approximately 1,000 acres). In 1999 Firstgold placed the mine in a care and maintenance status.

If mining operations are not resumed at the Relief Canyon mine, it is possible Firstgold may be required to reclaim the mine. Reclamation consists of recontouring the four heaps to a 3:1 slope, sale and removal of the building and its contents, evaporation of all water in both ponds and

burial of the building foundation and floor within the ponds' liners under the soil contained in the pond berms. Finally, native vegetation must be re-established in all areas of disturbance.

During 1996, Repadre Capital Corporation (“Repadre”) purchased for $500,000 a net smelter return royalty (Repadre Royalty). Repadre was to receive a 1.5% royalty from production at each of the Relief Canyon Mine and Mission Mines. In July 1997, an additional $300,000 was paid by Repadre for an additional 1% royalty from the Relief Canyon Mine. In October, 1997, when the Mission Mine lease was terminated, Repadre exercised its option to transfer the Repadre Royalty solely to the Relief Canyon Mine resulting in a total 4% royalty. The total amount received of $800,000 has been recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying financial statements.

Plan for Relief Canyon Production

Based on past exploration by us and work done by others, we believe the Relief Canyon Mine presents the potential for gold bearing ore deposits which will hopefully be validated through further exploration of additional mining claims.

As of September 30, 2006 the Relief Canyon properties include 146 millsite claims and unpatented mining claims contained in about 1,000 acres.

Firstgold’s operating plan is to place the most promising mining targets into production during the 2007 calendar year, and use the net proceeds from these operations to fund expanded exploration and development of its entire property holdings. By this means, Firstgold intends to progressively enlarge the scope and scale of the mining and processing operations, thereby increasing both Firstgold’s annual revenues and its net profits.

Firstgold’s goals for environmental protection and reclamation are for minimal environmental disturbance during mining, and reclamation and/or restoration of the disturbed area after mining ceases. The economics of Firstgold’s operations will permit this environmentally responsible plan of operations.

We will initially focus on exploring the North Relief Canyon mining property. We recently posted a $243,204 reclamation bond with the Nevada Bureau of Mining Regulations and Reclamation (“BMRR”) which allows us to apply for new permits for mining and processing on the property. In addition to posting the reclamation bond, the property must be brought into compliance with the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”) before any work can commence. We have completed approximately 75% of all the environmental work required by NDEP in the Administrative Order of Consent issued May 2005 (the AOC). The purpose of the AOC is to bring the Relief Canyon mine up to current environmental compliance.

In September 2006, we submitted our “Application for Water Pollution Control Permit and Design Report” with the NDEP. This document provides the BLM and NDEP with information regarding the characteristics of the site, proposed management of process fluids, monitoring and tentative plans for the eventual closure of operations. In addition, this fulfills Nevada state requirements and illustrates the plan to prevent undue degradation of public lands while the Relief Canyon Mining Project is in operation.

On September 25, 2006 we submitted our “Plan of Operations” for the Relief Canyon Mining Project to the NDEP. The Plan contains extensive details on how the mine will operate once in production. The Plan includes an intention to reprocess the existing heaps containing approximately 8 million tons of ore and the construction of a new heap leach pad. The Plan also includes facilities and processes which are compliant with our “Green Initiative” to construct and operate an environmentally conscience project.

On October 19, 2006 we received notice from the NDEP that we would be allowed to attach our current Plan of Operations as an amendment to a previous Plan of Operations submitted in 1996. This consolidation of Plans is expected to significantly reduce the processing time and documentation necessary to secure our production permit from the NDEP which will allow us to commence processing ore at the Relief Canyon Mining Project.

To assist us in this effort, we have retained Dyer Engineering Consultants, Inc. as our lead engineering firm for the permitting and compliance engineering work at the Relief Canyon, Crescent Valley and Red Caps exploration projects in Nevada.

Once we have achieved environmental compliance, we can proceed with the permits to commence full scale exploration and mining activities. The estimated time for completing the permitting process is between six months to nine months. However, upon posting the reclamation bond, we are able to carry on limited operations pending full permitting for full mining operations.

Description of Past Exploration and Existing Development Efforts

Over 400 reverse circulation holes have been drilled at the Relief Canyon project. Of the 400 holes drilled, 106 had intercepts of gold bearing ore structures of 0.1 gold/ton content. Additionally there are numerous holes with several feet of 0.09 - 0.099 gold/ton content.

The ore zone of Relief Canyon is open ended on three sides. It is projected that additional drilling will increase the size of possible reserves. Most of the drilling to date was targeted for open pit mining, resulting in shallow holes which did not test for possible deeper ore deposits. A significant number of deep holes with 0.3 gold/ton and better were drilled on the North end of the property. This area is targeted for initial underground mining development. Additional exploration holes will be drilled when underground mining commences throughout the various ore zones to determine future development. Firstgold has acquired one mobile drilling rig to conduct this drilling program and is seeking to acquire or rent a second drilling rig.

Typically, grade values of the Relief Canyon drill holes are reduced as a result of finds being lost down the hole or vented out as dust. Actual mining and recovery of gold in the milling process will determine the loss if any which could be as much as 30%.

Proposed Underground Mining Efforts

We will pursue exploration drilling to further identify areas of possible gold-bearing ore deposits. Results of this additional drilling will allow us to better plan our eventual underground mining efforts. Further development of our underground mining activity will also be dependent on the availability of adequate capital to initiate and sustain this effort. Underground mining is

very expensive costing in the range of $600 to $1,000 per linear foot of underground development.

Ore Processing

In October 2006, we commenced revitalization of our process solution ponds. The existing Pregnant and Barren ponds, which manage the process solutions, are being cleaned and relined with the latest technology of fluid containment. In keeping with our “Green Initiative,” this will include new leak detection equipment and protocols. In addition, a new solution transmission channel will be constructed between the site of the proposed heap leach pad and the existing solution ponds. Upon completion, we plan to process approximately 8 million metric tons of existing lower grade oxide ores by heap leaching. Heap leaching consists of stacking crushed or run-of-mine ore in impermeable ponds, where a weak cyanide solution is applied to the top surface of the heaps to dissolve the gold.

Higher-grade oxide ores are processed through mills, where the ore is ground into a fine powder and mixed with water in slurry, which then passes through a cyanide leaching circuit. In both cases, the gold-bearing solution is then collected and pumped to facilities to remove the gold by collection on carbon or by zinc precipitation directly from leach solutions.

Some gold-bearing sulfide ores may be processed through a flotation plant. In flotation, ore is finely ground, turned into slurry, then placed in a tank known as a flotation cell. Chemicals are added to the slurry causing the gold-containing sulfides to float in air bubbles to the top of the tank, where they can be separated from waste particles that sink to the bottom. The sulfides are removed from the cell and converted into a concentrate that can then be processed in an autoclave or roaster to recover the gold. The ore is then processed through an oxide mill.

Crescent Valley and Red Caps Mine

Overview

Firstgold is the owner of a 22.22% joint venture interest and is the operator. The Crescent Valley and Red Caps properties consist of two leases covering the properties and are held by the Crescent Red Caps LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Crescent Red Caps, LLC”) of which the remaining 77.78% interest is held by ASDi LLC, a California limited liability company owned by A. Scott Dockter, Chairman and CEO of Firstgold. Additionally, Firstgold, by making expenditures over the next three years (January 2006 - January 2009) aggregating $2,700,000, will end up with a 66.66% overall interest in the joint venture. Firstgold will then have the opportunity to purchase the remaining joint venture interest held by Mr. Dockter based on the results of the exploration work contemplated by these additional expenditures.

The properties are subject to two leases held by individuals and trusts affiliated with Sam Bida and Leon Belaustegui. The leases were entered into on May 16, 2003 with regard to the Red Caps property and September 3, 2003 with regard to the Crescent Valley property between the lessors and ASDi, LLC as leasee. On January 24, 2006, these leases were assigned by ASDI, LLC to Crescent Red Caps LLC. The two leases include approximately 135 unpatented mining claims and cover approximately 2700 acres. All gold, silver and other mineral production by

Crescent Red Caps is subject to a 3% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty payable to the lessors except for barite which is subject to a 10% royalty on ore produced from claims covered by the leases.

On October 13, 2006 and November 1, 2006 the lessors gave notices of termination of the Crescent Valley and Red Caps leases, respectively. The lessors are claiming that the assignment of the leases by ASDi LLC to Crescent Red Caps LLC was in breach of the leases. While ASDi LLC disputes the lease terminations, the matter has yet to be resolved. On January 25, 2007, the lessors filed a lawsuit seeking to terminate the leases (see the section “Legal Proceedings” below). Firstgold will spend only limited funds on exploration expenses on the properties until this lease dispute is resolved.

Property

The Crescent Red Caps properties are located in northeastern Nevada, approximately 60 miles southwest of Elko, Nevada in Lander County. The properties are accessed via Nevada State Highway 306, which extends southward from U.S. Interstate 80, both of which are paved roads.

The Cortez area of interest comprises approximately 640,000 acres along the Cortez/Battle Mountain trend. The two leases controlled by Crescent Red Caps include approximately 135 unpatented mining claims and cover approximately 2700 acres located along the Cortez/Battle Mountain trend. Currently no exploration, development or mining permits have been granted for the areas covered by the leases.

Geology and Mineralization

The Crescent Red Caps properties are situated along the Cortez/Battle Mountain trend in north-central Nevada. The principal gold deposits and mining operations are located on the southwest and south sides of Crescent Valley, which was formed by basin and range extensional tectonism. Mineralization is sedimentary rock-hosted and consists of micron-sized free gold particles that are disseminated throughout the host rock, commonly in association with secondary silica, iron oxides or pyrite.

Exploration and Development

Approximately 23,000 feet of exploration drilling has been completed in two different drill programs conducted in 1991 and 1996. Gold mineralization encountered both in drilling and in surface sampling is tightly structurally controlled and is confined to narrow shears and fractures developed mainly in the non-reactive cherts and argillites. Future drill programs will test for more extensive bodies of mineralization. Upward migration of gold mineralization from a stockwork system or replacement mineralization of a more reactive host rock at depth could produce the type of anomalous gold concentrations found at the prior drill sites.

The exploration potential in the immediate project areas remains positive. The focus in fiscal 2007 will be to conduct 40,000 feet of additional exploration drilling at the Red Caps property adjoining Barrick Gold’s Pipeline projects in the Eureka-Cortez-Battle Mountain Trend, to better delineate the extent of mineralization at the Red Caps area. The deep hole drilling program involves drilling exploratory holes to a depth of between 1000 ft. and 3000 ft.

Industry Overview

The gold mining and exploration industry has experienced several factors recently that are favorable to Firstgold as described below.

The spot market price of an ounce of gold has increased from a low of $253 in February 2001 to a high of $730 in May 2006. The price was $604 as of October 31, 2006. This current price level has made it economically more feasible to produce gold as well as made gold a more attractive investment for many. Firstgold is projecting a cash cost per ounce of gold produced in a range of $170 to $210. Accordingly, the gross margin per ounce of gold produced per the historical spot market price range above provides significant profit potential if we are successful in identifying and mining gold at Relief Canyon mine.

By industry standards, there are generally four types of mining companies. Firstgold is considered an “exploration stage” company. Typically, an exploration stage mining company is focused on exploration to identify new, commercially viable gold deposits. “Junior mining companies” typically have proven and probable reserves of less then one million ounces of gold, generally produces less then 100,000 ounces of gold annually and / or are in the process of trying to raise enough capital to fund the remainder of the steps required to move from a staked claim to production. “Mid-tier” and large mining (“senior”) companies may have several projects in production plus several million ounces of gold in reserve.

Generally gold reserves have been declining for a number of years for the following reasons:

·	The extended period of low gold prices from 1996 to 2001 made it economically unfeasible to explore for new deposits for most mining companies.

·	The demand for and production of gold products have exceeded the amount of new reserves added over the last several consecutive years.

Reversing the decline in lower gold reserves is a long term process. Due to the extended time frame it takes to explore, develop and bring new production on line, the large mining companies are facing an extended period of lower gold reserves. Accordingly, junior companies that are able to increase their gold reserves more quickly should directly benefit with an increased valuation.

Additional factors causing higher gold prices over the past two years have come from a weakened United States dollar. Reasons for the lower dollar compared to other currencies include the historically low US interest rates, the increasing US budget and trade deficits and the general worldwide political instability caused by the war on terrorism.

Competition

Of the four types of mining companies, we believe junior companies represent the largest group of gold companies in the public stock market. All four types of mining companies may have projects located in any of the gold producing continents of the world and many have projects located near the Relief Canyon, Red Caps and Crescent Valley mines in Nevada. Many of our competitors have greater exploration, production, and capital resources than we do, and may be

able to compete more effectively in any of these areas. Firstgold’s inability to secure capital to fund exploration and production capacity near-term, would establish a competitive cost disadvantage in the marketplace which would have a material adverse effect on its operations and potential profitability.

We also compete in the hiring and retention of experienced employees. Consequently, we may not be able to hire qualified miners or operators in the numbers or at the times desired.

Mining Property Rights

Relief Canyon Property

Our mining property rights are represented by 146 unpatented mill site and mining lode claims which were re-staked in October 2004 and June 2006. Unpatented mining claims are generally considered subject to greater title risks than patented mining claims or real property interests that are owned in fee simple. To remain valid, such unpatented claims are subject to annual maintenance fees. As of October 31, 2006, we were current in the payment of such maintenance fees.

Red Caps Property

Our mining property rights are represented by 96 unpatented mining lode claims. Unpatented mining claims are generally considered subject to greater title risks than patented mining claims or real property interests that are owned in fee simple. To remain valid, such unpatented claims are subject to annual maintenance fees. As of October 31, 2006, the joint venture was current in the payment of such maintenance fees. ASDi LLC received notice on November 1, 2006 that the lease pertaining to this property was being terminated due to a breach of the lease caused by ASDi LLC’s contribution of the lease to the Crescent Red Caps LLC of which we are a member. While ASDi LLC disputes the breach and the termination, the matter has not yet been resolved.

Crescent Valley Property

Our mining property rights are represented by 39 unpatented mining lode claims. Unpatented mining claims are generally considered subject to greater title risks than patented mining claims or real property interests that are owned in fee simple. To remain valid, such unpatented claims are subject to annual maintenance fees. As of October 31, 2006, the joint venture was current in the payment of such maintenance fees. ASDi LLC received notice on October 13, 2006 that the lease pertaining to this property was being terminated due to a breach of the lease caused by ASDi LLC’s contribution of the lease to the Crescent Red Caps LLC of which we are a member. While ASDi LLC disputes the breach and the termination, the matter has not yet been resolved.

Dalton Livestock and Winchell Ranch Mineral Lease

On October 24, 2006, we entered into a Mineral Lease Agreement with the owners of approximately 35,000 acres of property located in Elko County, Nevada (the “Antelope Peak” property). The Lease allows Firstgold the exclusive right to explore for and, if warranted, develop gold, silver and barite minerals on the leased property. The Lease includes exploration, mining and access rights, deposit of waste material, mineral processing and water rights. The

Lease has an initial term of five (5) years; however the term can be automatically extended thereafter for so long as Firstgold is engaged in mining operations.

Firstgold paid $20,000 upon the signing of the Lease and is required to pay rent of $50,000 per year. In addition, should mining operations be commenced, the Lessors would be entitled to a percentage of net smelter returns ranging from 2% to 5% depending on the price of gold. A finder’s fee of 2,000,000 common shares and 2,000,000 warrants to purchase common shares at a price of $0.50 per common share were issued to an unrelated third party at the date of signing the Lease. The warrants have a term of three years.

Upon conclusion of all mineral exploration and mining operations, if any, Firstgold is required to restore the property.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, we had four full-time employees and one part-time employee. We anticipate hiring additional employees during the current year to work on the mining sites in Nevada as our exploration program is initiated. While skilled equipment and operations personnel are in demand, we believe we will be able to hire the necessary workers to implement our exploration program. Our employees are not expected to be subject to a labor contract or collective bargaining agreement. We consider our employee relations to be good.

Consulting services, relating primarily to geologic and geophysical interpretations, and relating to such metallurgical, engineering, and other technical matters as may be deemed useful in the operation of our exploration activities, will be provided by independent contractors.

GOVERNMENT CONTROLS AND REGULATIONS

Our exploration, mining and processing operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing prospecting, exploration, development, production, labor standards, occupational health, mine safety, control of toxic substances, and other matters involving environmental protection and employment. United States environmental protection laws address the maintenance of air and water quality standards, the preservation of threatened and endangered species of wildlife and vegetation, the preservation of certain archaeological sites, reclamation, and limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, among other things. There can be no assurance that all the required permits and governmental approvals necessary for any mining project with which we may be associated can be obtained on a timely basis, or maintained. Delays in obtaining or failure to obtain government permits and approvals may adversely impact our operations. The regulatory environment in which we operate could change in ways that would substantially increase costs to achieve compliance. In addition, significant changes in regulation could have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial position.

Outlined below are some of the more significant aspects of governmental controls and regulations which materially affect our interests in the Relief Canyon, Red Caps and Crescent Valley mines.

Regulation of Mining Activity

Firstgold’s mining properties, including care and maintenance, exploration, development and production activities, is subject to environmental laws, policies and regulations. These laws, policies and regulations regulate, among other matters, emissions to the air, discharges to water, management of waste, management of hazardous substances, protection of natural resources, protection of endangered species, protection of antiquities and reclamation of land. The mines are also subject to numerous other federal, state and local laws and regulations. At the federal level, the mines are subject to inspection and regulation by the Division of Mine Safety and Health Administration of the Department of Labor ("MSHA") under provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The Occupation and Safety Health Administration ("OSHA") also has jurisdiction over certain safety and health standards not covered by MSHA. Mining operations and all future exploration and development will require a variety of permits. Although we believe the permits can be obtained in a timely fashion, permitting procedures are complex, costly, time consuming and subject to potential regulatory delay. We do not believe that existing permitting requirements or other environmental protection laws and regulations would have a material adverse effect on our ability to explore and eventually operate the mines. However, we cannot be certain that future changes in laws and regulations would not result in significant additional expenses, capital expenditures, restrictions or delays associated with the operation of our properties. We cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain new permits or whether material changes in permit conditions will be imposed. Granting new permits or the imposition of additional conditions could have a material adverse effect on our ability to explore and operate the mining properties in which we have an interest.

On June 9, 2005, we received permission from the NDEP to commence designated environmental activities previously requested by us. In January 2006, we made a cash deposit of $243,204 to cover future reclamation costs as required by the NDEP for the Relief Canyon Mine. As indicated previously, in September 2006 we submitted our Application for Water Pollution Control Permit and Design Report for the Relief Canyon project. We are now moving forward with the permitting process that will allow us to perform additional exploration, development and mining operations. The Red Caps and Crescent Valley properties currently are not part of any permitting process. During fiscal 2007 we plan on filing the necessary permits to allow initial exploration activities to begin at both properties.

On October 19, 2006 we received notice from the NDEP that we would be allowed to attach our current Plan of Operations for Relief Canyon submitted on September 15, 2006 as an amendment to the previous Plan of Operations submitted in 1996. This consolidation of Plans is expected to significantly reduce the processing time and documentation necessary to secure our production permit from the NDEP for the Relief Canyon project. We are also required to increase the reclamation cost deposit from $243,204 to $613,500 which will be placed in a blocked account with our bank in Sacramento, California.

Legislation has been introduced in prior sessions of the U.S. Congress to make significant revisions to the U.S. General Mining Law of 1872 that would affect our unpatented mining claims on federal lands, including a royalty on gold production. It cannot be predicted whether any of these proposals will become law. Any levy of the type proposed would only apply to

unpatented federal lands and accordingly could adversely affect the profitability of portions of any future gold production from the Relief Canyon mine.

The State of Nevada, where our mine properties are located, adopted the Mined Land Reclamation Act (the “Nevada Act”) in 1989 which established design, operation, monitoring and closure requirements for all mining facilities. The Nevada Act has increased the cost of designing, operating, monitoring and closing mining facilities and could affect the cost of operating, monitoring and closing existing mine facilities. The State of Nevada also has adopted reclamation regulations pursuant to which reclamation plans must be prepared and financial assurances established for existing facilities. The financial assurances can be in the form of cash placed on deposit with the State or reclamation bonds underwritten by insurance companies. The State of Nevada has requested financial assurances from or a posting of a bond by us in the amount of $464,000. We developed a specific reclamation plan of the Relief Canyon Mine and began implementation of the plan in April 2005. This work was completed in the summer of 2005. As a result of completing the work, the State of Nevada reduced the financial assurance amount to $243,204 which we have deposited in a blocked account with our bank in Sacramento, California. Our ability to commence full mining operations at the Relief Canyon Mine is now subject to our obtaining all necessary mining permits.

Environmental Regulations

Legislation and implementation of regulations adopted or proposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the BLM and by comparable agencies in various states directly and indirectly affect the mining industry in the United States. These laws and regulations address the environmental impact of mining and mineral processing, including potential contamination of soil and water from tailings discharges and other wastes generated by mining companies. In particular, legislation such as the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), the Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the National Environmental Policy Act require analysis and/or impose effluent standards, new source performance standards, air quality standards and other design or operational requirements for various components of mining and mineral processing, including gold-ore mining and processing. Such statutes also may impose liability on us for remediation of waste we have created.

Gold mining and processing operations by an entity would generate large quantities of solid waste which is subject to regulation under the RCRA and similar state laws. The majority of the waste which is produced by such operations is "extraction" waste that EPA has determined not to regulate under RCRA's "hazardous waste" program. Instead, the EPA is developing a solid waste regulatory program specific to mining operations under the RCRA. Of particular concern to the mining industry is a proposal by the EPA entitled "Recommendation for a Regulatory Program for Mining Waste and Materials Under Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act" (“Strawman II”) which, if implemented, would create a system of comprehensive Federal regulation of the entire mine site. Many of these requirements would be duplicates of existing state regulations. Strawman II as currently proposed would regulate not only mine and mill wastes but also numerous production facilities and processes which could limit internal flexibility in operating a mine. To implement Strawman II the EPA must seek additional

statutory authority, which is expected to be requested in connection with Congress' reauthorization of RCRA.

We also are subject to regulations under (i) the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA" or "Superfund”) which regulates and establishes liability for the release of hazardous substances and (ii) the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) which identifies endangered species of plants and animals and regulates activities to protect these species and their habitats. Revisions to “CERCLA” and “ESA” are being considered by Congress; however, the impact of these potential revisions on us is not clear at this time.

The Clean Air Act, as amended, mandates the establishment of a Federal air permitting program, identifies a list of hazardous air pollutants, including various metals and cyanide, and establishes new enforcement authority. The EPA has published final regulations establishing the minimum elements of state operating permit programs. Firstgold will be required to comply with these EPA standards to extent adopted by the State of Nevada.

In addition, we are required to mitigate long-term environmental impacts by stabilizing, contouring, resloping, and revegetating various portions of a site. While a portion of the required work was performed concurrently with prior operations, completion of the environmental mitigation occurs once removal of all facilities has been completed. These reclamation efforts are conducted in accordance with detailed plans which have been reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies. We have made the necessary cash deposits and we made provision to cover the estimated costs of such reclamation as required by permit.

We believe that our care and maintenance operation at the Relief Canyon Mine, as it exists today, is in substantial compliance with federal and state regulations and is consistent with our Green Initiative approach to environmental impact and that no further significant capital expenditures for environmental control facilities will be required until production resumes at the site. We also believe we are in substantial compliance with the same federal and state regulations at the Red Caps and Crescent Valley properties as no exploration, development or mining activities have yet commenced there.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Caution About Forward-Looking Statements

This prospectus includes “forward-looking” statements about future financial results, future business changes and other events that haven’t yet occurred. For example, statements like we “expect,” “anticipate” or “believe” are forward-looking statements. Investors should be aware that actual results may differ materially from our expressed expectations because of risks and uncertainties about the future. We do not undertake to update the information in this prospectus if any forward looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate. Details about risks affecting various aspects of our business are discussed throughout this prospectus and should be considered carefully.

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months

Certain key factors that have affected our financial and operating results in the past will affect our future financial and operating results. These include, but are not limited to the following:

·	Gold prices, and to a lesser extent, silver prices;

·	Current gold deposits under our control at the Relief Canyon Mine are estimated by us (based on past exploration by Firstgold and work done by others).

Our proposed exploration of properties now include 146 millsite and unpatented mining claims contained in about 1000 acres of the Relief Canyon Property; 96 unpatented mining claims contained in about 1900 acres of the Red Caps Property; and 39 unpatented mining claims contained in about 750 acres of the Crescent Valley Property.

Our operating plan is to commence exploration work on all three mining properties beginning with the Relief Canyon mining property by the end of 2006. We expect this exploration program to continue through the end of 2007. We expect to begin exploration work at the Red Caps and Crescent Valley properties in 2007. During 2007, we plan to resume mining operation at the Relief Canyon mine and we anticipate realizing production revenue from the Relief Canyon mine thereafter. Through the sale of additional securities and/or the use of joint ventures, royalty arrangements and partnerships, we intend to progressively enlarge the scope and scale of our exploration, mining and processing operations, thereby potentially increasing our chances of locating commercially viable ore deposits which could increase both our annual revenues and ultimately our net profits. Our objective is to achieve annual growth rates in revenue and net profits for the foreseeable future.

We expect to make capital expenditures in calendar years 2006, 2007 and 2008 of between $2.5 million and $4 million, including costs related to the exploration of the Relief Canyon mining property. We will have to raise additional outside capital to pay for these activities and the resumption of mine operations and production at the Relief Canyon mine.

Additional funding or the utilization of other venture partners will be required to fund mining operations, exploration, research, development and operating expenses at the Red Caps, Crescent Valley and Antelope Peak properties. In the past we have been dependent on funding from the private placement of our securities as well as loans from related and third parties as the sole sources of capital to fund operations.

Results of Operation

Our current business strategy is to invest in, explore and if warranted, conduct mining operations of our current mining properties and other mineral producing properties. Firstgold is a public company that in the past has been engaged in the exploration, acquisition and development of gold-bearing properties in the continental United States. Currently, our principal assets include various mineral leases associated with the Relief Canyon Mine located near Lovelock, Nevada along with various items of mining equipment and improvements located at that site. We have also entered into (i) a joint venture to explore additional mining properties known as the Red Caps Project and Crescent Valley Project, both of which are located in Lander County, Nevada and (ii) a mineral lease to explore approximately 35,000 acres of property located in Elko County, Nevada.

Operating Results for the Fiscal Years Ended January 31, 2006 and 2005

Although we commenced efforts to re-establish our mining business early in fiscal year 2004, no mining operations have commenced and no revenues have been recognized during the fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We hope to be able to commence generating revenues from mining operations during the 2007 calendar year. We have granted a 4% net smelting return royalty to a third party related to the Relief Canyon mining property which has been recorded as an $800,000 deferred option income.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 we spent $132,166 on reclamation and maintenance expenses related to the Relief Canyon mining property. Reclamation and maintenance expenses expended during the year ended January 31, 2005 were $28,433. These expenses relate primarily to maintenance and retention costs required to maintain our mining claims. We incurred operating expenses of $674,778 during the year ended January 31, 2006. Of this amount, $374,001 reflects officer compensation and related payroll taxes during the year and $157,446 reflect fees for outside professional services. A large portion of the outside professional services reflects legal and accounting work pertaining to our annual and quarterly reporting on Form 10-KSB and preparation of an SB-2 registration statement occurring in fiscal year 2006. During the year ended January 31, 2005 we incurred operating expenses of $353,972 of which $220,000 represents officer compensation and related payroll taxes, $33,510 reflecting payroll tax penalties and $89,900 reflect fees for outside professional services. It is anticipated

that both mining costs and operating expenses will increase significantly as we resume our exploration program and mining operations.

We incurred interest expense of $941,347 during the year ended January 31, 2006 which compares to interest expenses of $614,672 incurred during the year ended January 31, 2005. The amount of loans outstanding during fiscal year 2006 decreased by $797,742 compared to fiscal year 2005, which was primarily the result of the Chief Executive Officer’s conversion of a convertible note payable of $1,402,742 into shares of common stock in July 2005 and the convertible debenture of $600,000 funded in January 2006. The increase in additional interest expense during fiscal year 2006 was primarily due to the increase in accretion of warrants issued in October 2004 as a debt discount.

In conjunction with the Convertible Debenture issued January 27, 2006, we allocated the proceeds received between convertible debt and the detachable warrants based upon the relative fair market values on the date the proceeds were received. Subsequent to the initial recording, the change in the fair value of the detachable warrants, determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing formula, and the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative in the conversion feature of the convertible debentures are recorded as adjustments to the liabilities at January 31, 2006. This resulted in $37,418 of expense relating to the change in the fair value of the Company's stock reflected in the change in the fair value of the warrants and derivatives (noted above) and is included as other income (expense).

In October 2004, we liquidated our investment in marketable securities through open market transactions. Net proceeds totaled approximately $34,100. This resulted in a loss on sale of $281,063. There were no sales of marketable securities for the comparable period in fiscal year 2006.

Due to the fact that the joint venture with ASDi was a related party transaction with no independent appraisal as to value, the joint venture was assigned a zero value for accounting purposes and the $859,522 of securities paid by Firstgold was recorded as a loss for accounting purposes.

Our total net loss for the year ended January 31, 2006 increased to $2,645,231 compared to a net loss of $ 1,278,140 incurred for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005. The larger net loss in fiscal year 2006 reflects the substantial increase in operating expenses as we reactivate our mining activities, the increase in interest expense, the loss recognized from the Crescent Red Caps JV and a continued lack of revenues recognized during fiscal year 2006.

Operating Results for the Fiscal Quarters Ended October 31, 2006 and 2005

Although we commenced efforts to re-establish our mining business early in fiscal year 2004, no mining operations have commenced and no revenues have been recognized during the quarters ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Firstgold hopes to be able to commence generating revenues from mining operations during the 2008 fiscal year. We have granted a 4% net smelting return royalty to a third party related to the Relief Canyon mining property which has been recorded as an $800,000 deferred option income.

During the quarter ended October 31, 2006 we spent $159,414 on reclamation and maintenance expenses related to the Relief Canyon mining property; $15,000 in costs related to the Crescent Red Caps Joint Venture; and $1,133,905 in costs related to our Antelope Peak leasehold interest. Reclamation and maintenance expenses at Relief Canyon expended during the same quarter ended October 31, 2005 were $19,821; there were no associated costs with the other properties during the period. These expenses relate primarily to maintenance and retention costs required to maintain our mining claims. We incurred operating expenses of $491,897 during the quarter ended October 31, 2006. Of this amount, $93,500 reflects officer compensation and related payroll taxes during the quarter, $153,458 reflects outside directors compensation expense related to stock options issued, and $86,524 reflect fees for outside professional services. A large portion of the outside professional services reflects legal and accounting work pertaining to our quarterly reporting on Form 10-QSB as well as our currently filed Form SB-2. During the quarter ended October 31, 2005 we incurred operating expenses of $120,227 of which $93,500 represented officer compensation and related payroll taxes and $15,000 reflected fees for outside professional services. It is anticipated that both mining costs and operating expenses will increase significantly as we resume our exploration program and mining operations.

We incurred interest expense of $162,600 during the quarter ended October 31, 2006 which compares to interest expenses of $203,254 incurred during the same quarter of 2005. The principal balance of loans outstanding during the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 increased by $1,625,155 compared to third quarter of fiscal year 2006, which was primarily the result of the Convertible Debentures with a total balance of $1,000,000 issued in September 2006 and $650,000 in October 2006. The decrease in interest expense during the quarter ended October 31, 2006 was primarily due to the decrease in accretion of warrants issued in October 2004 as a debt discount.

In conjunction with the Convertible Debenture issued in September 2006, we allocated the proceeds received between convertible debt and the detachable warrants based upon the relative fair market values on the date the proceeds were received. Subsequent to the initial recordings, the change in the fair value of the detachable warrants, determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing formula, and the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative in the conversion feature of the convertible debentures are recorded as adjustments to the liabilities as initially recorded. This resulted in $135,952 of income relating to the change in the fair value of the Company's stock reflected in the change in the fair value of the warrants and derivatives (noted above) and is included as other income (expense).

We incurred litigation settlement expense of $214,000 during the quarter ended October 31, 2006 and is included as other income (expense); there was no similar expense incurred during the same quarter of 2005.

Our total net loss for the quarter ended October 31, 2006 increased to $2,040,864 compared to a net loss of $343,202 incurred for the same quarter ended October 31, 2005. The higher net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 reflects the income effect of the adjustment to fair value of derivatives, the costs associated with our new exploration programs at the Crescent Red Caps and Antelope Peak properties and the increase in operating expenses as we reactivate our mining activities and a continued lack of revenues recognized during the quarter.

Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended October 31, 2006 and 2005

During the nine months ended October 31, 2006 we spent $298,963 on reclamation and maintenance expenses related to the Relief Canyon mining property; $47,581 in costs related to the Crescent Red Caps Joint Venture; and $1,133,905 in costs related to our Antelope Peak leasehold interest. Reclamation and maintenance expenses at Relief Canyon expended during the same period ended October 31, 2005 were $159,521; there were no associated costs with the other properties during the period. These expenses relate primarily to maintenance and retention costs required to maintain our mining claims. We incurred operating expenses of $1,019,990 during the nine months ended October 31, 2006. Of this amount, $280,500 reflects officer compensation and related payroll taxes during the nine months, $221,478 reflects outside directors compensation expense related to stock options issued, and $274,385 reflect fees for outside professional services. A large portion of the outside professional services reflects legal and accounting work pertaining to our annual and quarterly reporting on Form 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB as well as our recently filed Form SB-2 registration statements. During the nine months ended October 31, 2005 we incurred operating expenses of $504,798 of which $280,501 represented officer compensation and related payroll taxes and $120,938 reflected fees for outside professional services. It is anticipated that both mining costs and operating expenses will increase significantly as we resume our exploration program and mining operations.

We incurred interest expense of $394,092 during the nine months ended October 31, 2006 which compares to interest expenses of $930,315 incurred during the same nine months of 2005. The principal balance of loans outstanding during the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 increased by $1,625,155 compared to the same nine months of fiscal year 2006, which was primarily the result of the Convertible Debentures with a total balance of $1,650,000 issued in September 2006 and October 2006. The decrease in additional interest expense during the nine months ended October 31, 2006 was primarily due to the decrease in accretion of warrants issued in October 2004 as a debt discount.

In conjunction with the Convertible Debenture issued in January 2006, March 2006, July 2006 and September 2006, we allocated the proceeds received between convertible debt and the detachable warrants based upon the relative fair market values on the date the proceeds were received. Subsequent to the initial recordings, the change in the fair value of the detachable warrants, determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing formula, and the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative in the conversion feature of the convertible debentures are recorded as adjustments to the liabilities as initially recorded. This resulted in $525,871 of expense relating to the change in the fair value of the Company's stock reflected in the change in the fair value of the warrants and derivatives (noted above) and is included as other income (expense).

We incurred litigation settlement expense of $214,000 during the nine months ended October 31, 2006 and is included as other income (expense); there was no similar expense incurred during the same period of 2005.

Our total net loss for the nine months ended October 31, 2006 increased to $3,649,402 compared to a net loss of $1,594,634 incurred for the same nine months ended October 31, 2005. The higher net loss in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 reflects the income effect of the adjustment to fair value of derivatives, the costs associated with our new exploration programs at the Crescent Red Caps and Antelope Peak properties, and the increase in operating expenses as we reactivate our mining activities at the Relief Canyon mining property and a continued lack of revenues recognized during the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception and during the nine months ended October 31, 2006 resulted in an accumulated deficit of $22,679,935 as of October 31, 2006. At October 31, 2006, we had cash and other current assets of $952,852 compared to $701,546 at January 31, 2006 and a net working capital deficit of $2,173,997. Since the resumption of our business in February 2003, we have been dependent on borrowed or invested funds in order to finance our ongoing operations. As of October 31, 2006, we had outstanding debentures and notes payable in the gross principal amount of $2,082,789 (net balance of $2,397,508 after $(1,310,260) of note payable discount, deferred financing costs and unamortized warrant discount and $1,624,979 of derivative liabilities) which reflects an increase of $1,625,155 compared to notes payable in the gross principal amount of $457,634 as of October 31, 2005.

In January 2006 we made a cash deposit of $243,204 in a blocked account to cover future reclamation costs as required by the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection for the Relief Canyon Mine.

As of October 31, 2006, we were in default on a promissory note due to an unrelated party in the principal amount $176,500.

On January 25, 2006, Firstgold entered into a joint venture with ASDi, LLC to develop two Nevada mining properties known as the Red Caps Project (“Red Caps”) and Crescent Valley Project (“Crescent Valley”). Pursuant to the joint venture, Firstgold will initially own a 22.22% interest in the Crescent Red Caps LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and ASDi will hold a 77.78% interest. By expending up to $1,350,000 on each project over the next three years, Firstgold can increase its interest in the Crescent Red Caps LLC to 66.66%. Thereafter, Firstgold has the right to purchase the remaining interest in the Crescent Red Caps LLC held by ASDi at a price to be determined by the results of the exploration work conducted.

On January 27, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and bearing interest at 8% per annum. The Debentures were funded $600,000 on January 27, 2006, $200,000 on March 2, 2006 upon the filing of a resale registration statement with the SEC and a final $200,000 on July 18, 2006. On June 29, 2006 $500,000 of the Debenture dated January 27, 2006 was converted into 1,904,037 shares of Firstgold restricted Common Stock and $100,000 of the Debenture dated March 9, 2006 was converted into 495,050 shares of Firstgold restricted Common Stock. On September 15, 2006, the remaining $400,000 of principal Debentures were converted into 1,523,229 shares

of Firstgold restricted Common Stock and accrued interest of $30,948 was converted into 117,852 shares of Firstgold restricted Common Stock.

On September 26, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Debentures, as amended on November 1, 2006, in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 and bearing interest at 8% per annum. The Debentures were issued $1,000,000 on September 26, 2006, $1,000,000 Debenture upon the filing of this resale registration statement with the SEC and a final $1,000,000 Debenture to be issued when the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC.

By attempting to resume mining operations, we will require approximately $10 million to $15 million in additional working capital above the amounts realized from the convertible debentures to bring the Relief Canyon Mine into full production. It is our intention to pursue several possible funding opportunities including the sale of additional securities, entering into joint venture arrangements, or incurring additional debt.

Due to our continuing losses from business operations, the independent auditor’s report dated April 26, 2006, includes a “going concern” explanation relating to the fact that Firstgold’s continuation is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital either through significantly increasing revenues or through outside financing. As of September 30, 2006, Firstgold’s principal commitments included its obligation to pay ongoing maintenance fees on its 146 unpatented mining claims, the funding arrangement pursuant to the joint venture with ASDi, LLC and the annual minimum rent due on the Winchell Ranch mineral lease.

Our management believes that it will need to raise additional capital to continue to develop, promote and conduct our mining operations. Due to our limited cash flow, operating losses and limited assets, it is unlikely that we could obtain financing through commercial or banking sources. Consequently, we are dependent on continuous cash infusions from our major stockholders or other outside sources in order to fund our current operations. Prior to the transaction with Cornell Capital Partners, Firstgold’s president had paid a substantial portion of Firstgold’s expenses since restarting its business in February 2003. Although we believe that our creditors and investors will continue to fund Firstgold’s expenses based upon their significant debt or equity interest in Firstgold, there is no assurance that such investors will continue to pay our expenses. If adequate funds are not otherwise available, through public or private financing as well as borrowing from other sources, Firstgold would not be able to establish or sustain its mining operations.

Recent Financing Transaction

On September 26, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and other agreements, which were amended on November 1, 2006, with Cornell Capital Partners LP in connection with the private placement of convertible debentures, in the principal amount of $3,000,000 and bearing interest at 8% per annum (the “Debentures”). The Debentures were funded $1,000,000 on September 26, 2006, $1,000,000 upon the filing of this resale registration statement with the SEC and $1,000,000 upon this registration statement being declared effective by the SEC. Each Debenture will have a three (3) year term from the date of issue unless they are converted into shares of Firstgold Common Stock or are repaid prior to the

expiration dates. The conversion rate is adjustable and at any conversion date, will be the lower of $0.4735 per share or 95% of the Market Conversion Price. Consequently, the number of shares of Firstgold Common Stock into which the Debentures may be converted will never be less than 6,335,797 shares but could be substantially more if the average market price of Firstgold’s Common Stock falls below $0.4735.

Firstgold will pay a Commitment Fee to Cornell Capital Partners, LP of 9% of gross proceeds or a total of $270,000. Firstgold also paid Yorkshire Advisors, LLC (an affiliate of Cornell Capital Partners) a due diligence fee of $5,000 and a Structuring Fee of $20,000. Net proceeds to Firstgold from this financing will be approximately $2,705,000.

In conjunction with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into an Investor Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement requires us to register at least 18,750,000 shares of our Common Stock to cover the conversion of the Debentures (assuming conversion prices substantially below $0.4735) and 3,500,000 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion of warrants (the “Warrants”) granted to the Debenture holder. We are required to keep this Registration Statement effective until the Debentures have been fully converted, repaid, or becomes due and the Warrants have been fully exercised or expire. Both the Debentures and the Warrants are currently convertible or exercisable, respectively.

In conjunction with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”). The Security Agreement creates a secured interest in favor of the Debenture holder in our mining interest and assets in the Relief Canyon Mine property. This security interest was created by recordation of an Amended Memorandum of Security Agreement filed in Pershing County, Nevada on November 15, 2006. Consequently, should a default occur under the Debenture, the Debenture holder could take over or sell all of our interests, business and assets associated with the Relief Canyon Mine.

In conjunction with the Purchase Agreement, we granted 3,500,000 warrants to purchase shares of Firstgold Common Stock, 2,000,000 exercisable at $0.45 per share and 1,500,000 exercisable at $0.60 per share. The Warrants have a term of four years. The exercise price may be reduced if shares of Firstgold’s Common Stock are sold at a price below the Warrant exercise price.

Lastly, in conjunction with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Pledge and Escrow Agreement whereby up to an additional 10,000,000 shares of Firstgold Common Stock could be issued to the Debenture holder in the event of a default relating to the Debenture. The precise amount of shares that would be required to be issued to the Debenture holder would depend on the amount of principal and interest outstanding under the Debentures at the time a default was declared.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, for so long as at least $200,000 of principal remains outstanding under the Debenture, the Debenture holder will have approval rights over any major transaction (i.e., merger, stock splits, sale of assets) or any issuance of common or preferred stock by Firstgold with certain exceptions. The Debenture holder will also have a right for a period of 18 months to participate in any additional capital sought to be raised by Firstgold.

On October 10, 2006 we received $650,000 upon the issuance of Convertible Debentures with certain investors which bear interest at 8% per annum and are convertible into shares of Firstgold common stock at the Fixed Conversion Price of $0.4735 per share which would equal approximately 1,372,756 if the entire principal were converted into Firstgold common stock.

In conjunction with the Convertible Debentures, we granted 746,843 warrants to purchase shares of Firstgold Common Stock, 426,767 exercisable at $0.45 per share and 320,076 exercisable at $0.60 per share. The Warrants have a term of four years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, Firstgold did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

Exploration Stage Company

Effective January 1, 1995 (date of inception), Firstgold is considered an exploration stage company as defined in SFAS No. 7. Firstgold’s exploration stage activities consist of the development of several mining properties located in Nevada. Sources of financing for these exploration stage activities have been primarily debt and equity financing. Firstgold has, at the present time, not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of Firstgold and other relevant factors.

Valuation of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, patents and trademarks, and goodwill, comprise a significant portion of our total assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. The cash flow projections are based on historical experience, management’s view of growth rates within the industry, and the anticipated future economic environment.

Factors we consider important that could trigger a review for impairment include the following:

(a)

significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results,

(b)

significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy of our overall business, and

(c)

significant negative industry or economic trends.

When we determine that the carrying value of long-lived assets and related goodwill and enterprise-level goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model.

Deferred Reclamation Costs

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which established a uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs. The statement was adopted February 1, 2003. The reclamation costs will be allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and will be adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate.

Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 143, estimated future reclamation costs were based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. Such costs related to active mines were accrued and charged over the expected operating lives of the mines using the units of production method based on proven and probable reserves. Future remediation costs for inactive mines were accrued based on management’s best estimate at the end of each period of the undiscounted costs expected to be incurred at a site. Such cost estimates included, where applicable, ongoing care, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in estimates at inactive mines were reflected in earnings in the period an estimate was revised.

Exploration Costs

Exploration costs are expensed as incurred. All costs related to property acquisitions are capitalized.

Mine Development Costs

Mine development costs consist of all costs associated with bringing mines into production, to develop new ore bodies and to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production. The decision to develop a mine is based on assessment of the commercial viability of the property and the availability of financing. Once the decision to proceed to development is made, development and other expenditures relating to the project will be deferred and carried at cost with the intention that these will be depleted by charges against earnings from future mining

operations. No depreciation will be charged against the property until commercial production commences. After a mine has been brought into commercial production, any additional work on that property will be expensed as incurred, except for large development programs, which will be deferred and depleted.

Reclamation Costs

Reclamation costs and related accrued liabilities, which are based on our interpretation of current environmental and regulatory requirements, are accrued and expensed, upon determination.

Based on current environmental regulations and known reclamation requirements, management has included its best estimates of these obligations in its reclamation accruals. However, it is reasonably possible that our best estimates of our ultimate reclamation liabilities could change as a result of changes in regulations or cost estimates.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

FAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black Scholes model as a valuation technique. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as Adjustments to Fair Value of Derivatives. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants are valued using Black Scholes models.

Stock-Based Compensation

We currently account for the issuance of stock options to employees using the fair market value method according to SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS No. 155 also amends SFAS No. 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instrument. Firstgold is currently evaluating the impact of this new Standard but believes that it will not have a material impact on Firstgold’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of

Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The Statement (1) requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations; (2) requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; (3) permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets or servicing liabilities; (4) permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by an entity with recognized servicing rights, provided the securities reclassified offset the entity’s exposure to changes in the fair value of the servicing assets or liabilities; and (5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted in certain circumstances. The Statement also describes the manner in which it should be initially applied. Firstgold does not believe that SFAS No. 156 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the expected effect of FIN 48 on its results of operations and financial position.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Issues No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines the fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is encouraged, provided that the Company has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS 157 may have on its financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employer’s accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans”. SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset or liability based on the retirement plan’s over or under funded status. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the application of SFAS No. 158 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). This SAB provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects on each of the company’s balance sheets, statements of operations and related financial statement disclosures. The SAB permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SAB 108 may have on its results of operations and financial condition.

In October 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. The Task Force concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes subject to EITF 06-3 are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amounts of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. The guidance in this consensus is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006 (the first quarter of our fiscal year 2007). We do not expect the adoption of EITF 06-3 will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On February 4, 2000, a complaint was filed against Firstgold by Sun G. Wong in the Superior Court of Sacramento County, California (Case No. 00AS00690). In the complaint, Mr. Wong claims that he was held liable as a guarantor of Firstgold in a claim brought by Don Christianson in a breach of contract action against Firstgold. Despite the fact that Firstgold settled the action with Mr. Christianson through the issuance of 350,000 shares of Firstgold Common Stock, Mr. Wong, nevertheless, paid $60,000 to a third party claiming to hold Mr. Christianson’s judgment pursuant to Mr. Wong’s guaranty agreement. Similarly, Mr. Wong alleges that he was held liable as a guarantor for a debt of $200,000 owed by Firstgold to Roger Primm with regard to money borrowed by Firstgold. Mr. Primm filed suit against Firstgold which was settled through the issuance of 300,000 shares of Firstgold Common Stock. Nevertheless, Mr. Wong alleges that he remains liable to a third party claiming to hold Mr. Primm’s judgment for approximately $200,000 pursuant to his guaranty of such debt of Mr. Primm. On December 29, 2000, the superior court entered a default judgment against Firstgold in the amount of $400,553 with regard to the Christianson judgment and an additional $212,500 in regard to the Primm

judgment against Mr. Wong. Firstgold believes that Mr. Wong was not obligated to pay any sums pursuant to his guarantees with regard to the Christianson and Primm judgments against Firstgold. On September 26, 2006, the parties signed a Settlement Agreement to resolve this lawsuit. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Firstgold paid Mr. Wong $125,000 and issued him 100,000 shares of restricted common stock on October 4, 2006. Firstgold also made a final payment of $50,000 to Mr. Wong on January 3, 2007. An Acknowledgment of Satisfaction of Judgment was filed by Mr. Wong on January 9, 2007.

On May 18, 2004 Paul Ngoyi filed a petition for involuntary bankruptcy against Firstgold (Case No. BK-N-0451511). Mr. Ngoyi claimed to be the holder of both the Christiansen and Primm judgments against Firstgold and is claming that Firstgold cannot pay such judgments because it is insolvent. Firstgold maintains that Mr. Ngoyi’s claims are invalid as the two judgments were previously satisfied and that Firstgold is not insolvent. A pre-trial hearing was held on April 4, 2005 at which time Firstgold prevailed in having Mr. Ngoyi’s petition dismissed. An order of dismissal was issued May 10, 2005.

On January 25, 2007, a complaint was filed against ASDI, LLC, the Crescent Red Caps Joint Venture, Firstgold, Scott Dockter and other named defendants by the Lessors of the Crescent Valley and Red Caps mining properties. The complaint was filed in the Second Judicial District Court of Washoe County, Nevada (Case No. CV07-00179). In the complaint the plaintiffs allege that ASDI, LLC wrongfully assigned its lessee rights in the Crescent Valley and Red Caps mining properties to the Crescent Red Caps Joint Venture (of which Firstgold is the Managing Member). The complaint seeks the immediate termination of the leasehold rights granted to ASDI, LLC and quiet title and damages. ASDI, LLC does not believe the lease assignments were wrongful or even required the Lessors’ consent. Consequently, ASDI, LLC plans to vigorously defend this action. Until this matter is resolved, the Crescent Red Caps Joint Venture and/or Firstgold plan to expend limited funds on exploration expenses on the leased properties.

Under the terms of the 2006 Plan, we may grant up to 5,000,000 options which can include Incentive Stock Options issued to employees and Nonstatutory Stock Options issuable to employees or consultants providing services to Firstgold on such terms as are determined by our board of directors. Our Board administers the 2006 Plan. Under the 2006 Plan, options vest not less than 20% per year and have 10-year terms (except with respect to 10% stockholders which have five-year terms). If an option holder terminates his/her employment with us or becomes disabled or dies, the option holder or his/her representative will have a certain number of months to exercise any outstanding vested options. If we sell substantially all of our assets, are a party to

a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation, then we have the right to accelerate unvested options and will give the option holder written notice of the exercisability and specify a time period in which the options may be exercised. All options will terminate in their entirety to the extent not exercised on or prior to the date specified in the written notice unless an agreement governing any change of control provides otherwise.

Firstgold’s bylaws provide that it will indemnify its officers and directors, employees and agents and former officers, directors, employees and agents unless their conduct is finally adjudged as grossly negligent or to be willful misconduct. This indemnification includes expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by these individuals in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, including any appeal thereof, subject to the qualifications contained in Delaware law as it now exists. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding will be paid by Firstgold in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by Firstgold as authorized in the bylaws. This indemnification will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent, and will benefit their heirs, executors, and administrators. These indemnification rights are not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any such person may otherwise be entitled apart from the bylaws. Delaware law generally provides that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify persons if they acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In the event any such person is judged liable for negligence or misconduct, this indemnification will apply only if approved by the court in which the action was pending. Any other indemnification shall be made only after the

determination by Firstgold’s Board of Directors (excluding any directors who were party to such action), by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or by a majority vote of stockholders (excluding any stockholders who were parties to such action) to provide such indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Firstgold pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Firstgold has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, enforceable.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

During the 2006 fiscal year, the president of Firstgold, Scott Dockter, had loaned Firstgold an aggregate of $5,000. In July 2005 a convertible promissory note with a balance of $1,402,742 and additional accrued interest of $446,193 due to Mr. Dockter was converted into 12,326,231 shares of Firstgold common stock. As of January 31, 2005, Mr. Dockter had loaned Firstgold a total of $24,845 and accrued interest of $32,023. In addition to the outstanding note payable, Mr. Dockter has been issued Warrants to purchase up to 12,157,909 shares of Firstgold’s Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.15/share to $0.40/share.

On January 25, 2006, Firstgold entered into a joint venture with ASDi, LLC to develop two Nevada mining properties known as the Red Caps Project and Crescent Valley Project. The Red Caps consists of approximately 96 unpatented mining claims covering 1900 acres and the Crescent Valley consists of approximately 39 unpatented mining claims covering 750 acres. The Red Caps and Crescent Valley mining claims are currently owned by ASDi, LLC, which is owned and managed by A. Scott Dockter, Chairman and CEO of Firstgold. The joint venture will be operated through a newly formed Nevada limited liability company called Crescent Red Caps, LLC. The terms of the joint venture provide for ASDi to contribute the Red Caps and Crescent Valley mining claims to the LLC in exchange for Firstgold issuing 2.5 million shares of its Common Stock and warrants to purchase 2.5 million shares of Firstgold Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share for a term of three years to ASDi. Firstgold will initially own a 22.22% interest in the LLC and ASDi will hold a 77.78% interest. By expending up to $1,350,000 on each project over the next three years, Firstgold can increase its interest in the LLC to 66.66%. Thereafter, Firstgold has the right to purchase the remaining interest in the LLC held by ASDi at a price to be determined by the results of the exploration work conducted. Firstgold will be the Manager of the LLC.

On January 31, 2007 the Chief Executive Officer of Firstgold, A. Scott Dockter, and ASDi, LLC (an entity managed by Mr. Dockter) exercised outstanding warrants into 11,229,409 shares of restricted common stock of Firstgold. In payment for the exercise price, Firstgold took back a note receivable from Mr. Dockter in the principal amount of $1,309,411.35 and a note receivable from ASDi, LLC in the principal amount of $1,000,000 each with interest at 8% and due January 30, 2008. The notes are secured by the 11.2 million shares issued pursuant to the warrants exercised, ASDi, LLC’s interest in the Crescent Red Caps LLC and an additional 6,655,000 shares of Firstgold common stock owned by Mr. Dockter.

On January 31, 2007 the Chief Financial Officer, James Kluber, converted his convertible note payable from Firstgold and accrued interest payable into 1,630,918 shares of restricted common stock of Firstgold.

Should a transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions involve one of our officers or directors or a related entity or an affiliate of a related entity, or holders of stock representing 5% or more of the voting power (a “related entity”) of our then outstanding voting stock, the transactions must be approved by the unanimous consent of our board of directors. In the event a member of the board of directors is a related party, that member will abstain from the vote.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We are authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share. We are not authorized to issue any preferred stock consisting. We had 88,533,607 shares of our Common Stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of January 31, 2007.

Common Stock

The holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets or funds legally available for the payment of dividends at such times and in such amounts as the board from time to time may determine. The Common Stock is not entitled to pre-emptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our business, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the Common Stock after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding preferred or Common Stock or other claims of creditors. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The holders of Firstgold Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of Firstgold stockholders. Under certain circumstances, California law permits the holders of Firstgold Common Stock to assert their right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors, in which case holders of less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Firstgold Common Stock could elect one or more of Firstgold’s directors. Holders of Firstgold Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, or redemption rights.

Securities Convertible into Common Stock

Firstgold has issued convertible debentures, in the aggregate principal amount of $3,650,000 and bearing interest at 8% per annum (the “Debentures”). Each Debenture will have a three (3) year term from the date of issue unless they are converted into shares of Firstgold Common Stock or are repaid prior to the expiration dates. The conversion rate is adjustable and at any conversion date, will be the lower of $0.4735 per share or 95% of the Market Conversion Price. Consequently, the number of shares of Firstgold Common Stock into which the Debentures may be converted will never be less than 7,708, 553 shares but could be substantially more if the average market price of Firstgold’s Common Stock falls below $0.4735.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

Firstgold currently has 15,363,457 warrants outstanding issued in conjunction with various financing transactions. The warrants have exercise terms of three to five years and are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.60 per share.

Transfer Agent

Transfer Online, Inc., Portland Oregon, serves as a transfer agent for the shares of Firstgold Common Stock.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by each of the selling stockholders. The first column lists the name of each selling stockholder. The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder as of October 31, 2006. The third column lists the number of shares of Common Stock that may be resold under this prospectus. The fourth and fifth columns list the number of shares of Common Stock owned and the percentage of Common Stock owned after the resale of the Common Stock registered under this prospectus. No selling stockholder has, or has had within the past three years, any position, office, or other material relationship with Firstgold other than their status of creditors and/or stockholders of Firstgold. All of the shares being registered represent shares underlying convertible debentures or warrants which were sold to a small number of investors pursuant to the private placement exemption provided by Sections 4(2) or Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 or sold outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and includes voting and investment power with respect to such shares. Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a convertible debenture and shares of Common Stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after October 31, 2006 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other stockholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each of the selling stockholders, and any of their donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Firstgold Common Stock or interests in shares of Firstgold Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. A selling stockholder will act independently of Firstgold in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

Each of the selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

·	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·	privately negotiated transactions;

·	settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;

·	broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·	a combination of any such methods of sale;

·	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or

·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Each selling stockholder does not expect these commissions and discounts relating to its sales of shares to exceed what are customary in the types of transactions involved.

In connection with the sale of our Common Stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of securities will be paid by the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers. Each selling stockholder has informed Firstgold that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.

Firstgold is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by it incident to the registration of the shares. Firstgold has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each selling stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the

shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares by the selling stockholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) September 26, 2009 (ii) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling stockholders pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (iii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our Common Stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our Bylaws, subject to the provisions of Delaware Corporation Law, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify any person against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to us if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed was in the best interest of the corporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Firstgold, Inc.

We have audited the balance sheet of Firstgold, Inc. (a exploration stage company) (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2006 and the period from January 1, 1995 to January 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Firstgold, Inc. as of January 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2006, and the period from January 1, 1995 to January 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $2,645,231 and had negative cash flow from operations of $899,807. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $19,030,535 and a shareholders’ deficit of $2,960,365 at January 31, 2006. These factors, among others, as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
