CAMERON PARK, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 4, 2009 -- Firstgold Corp.'s (Toronto:FGD.TO - News) (OTC BB:FGOC.OB - News) (the "Company") Steve Akerfeldt, Chairman and CEO, commented, "Last week was a very busy week for the Company as our strategic review process began in full. We had two companies at our facilities in Relief Canyon and have scheduled two other tours in the coming weeks and expect several more to come out of our continued work with Haywood Securities Inc. Selling the Company or the Relief Canyon asset is one of the options we are reviewing to preserve shareholder value.
"We are still in a default situation with our lenders. We are working together to ensure the assets are managed safely and securely as we move through this process. Time is of the essence in these circumstances and the Company is using every effort to resolve the impasse. As developments occur we will ensure we keep our investors as fully informed as possible under the circumstances."
Over the last 24 months Firstgold has spent $16 million developing a processing facility at Relief Canyon, located outside Lovelock, Nevada, on the site of the previously producing Pegasus Gold Mine. Firstgold currently leases over 10,000 acres of prime exploration property in Nevada. Additional information about Firstgold Corp. can be found by visiting its web site at www.firstgoldcorp.com.
