Exhibit 99.2

Toronto Stock Exchange Puts Firstgold on Delisting Review

April 24, 2009, Cameron Park, CA - Firstgold Corp. (TSX: FGD, OTCBB: FGOC) (the “Company”) received notice from the  Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on April 23, 2009  that the TSX is reviewing the common shares  of the Company with respect to meeting the continued listing requirements for the TSX.  The Company has been granted 30 days in which to regain compliance with these requirements, pursuant to the Remedial Review Process. At the end of the 30 day period, the TSX will determine if the Company is in compliance with listing standards and if not, could proceed with delisting the Company’s shares.

Steve Akerfeldt, Firstgold Chairman and CEO commented, “As we indicated in our most recent press release we are actively reviewing with our advisors all options with respect to the sale and or merger of Firstgold. We do not believe this notice will have any material impact on our discussions and /or current negotiations. We would hope to be in a position to regain compliance within the allotted time of the review period.”

 Firstgold has also received the resignation of Kevin Bullock as a director of the Company effective April 23, 2009. “ Kevin was brought on to assist our oversight in bringing the Relief Canyon property into production, at this point as we move into a financial focus and a corporate sale or restructuring he feels his value would be limited and given his time constraints feels this step was necessary. While we regret this decision we understand Kevin’s rationale and want to thank him for assisting in our development this past year” said Steve Akerfeldt.

“As you can expect the recent news release has accelerated interest in the Company. Our advisor Haywood Securities is dealing with a number of interested parties and we remain hopeful that a transaction can be created to allow us to repay our creditors and preserve the value of our assets. We have until April 29th,, not the 27th as previously reported, to respond to our lenders default notice and we have options available to us whether through discussion or court action that could extend this time period . We are committed to finding a positive resolution to our current situation and will continue to bring new developments forward to our shareholders as appropriate in 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.
