CERTIFICATION
      FOR QUARTERLY REPORTS ON FORM 10-QSB





I,
      Scott
      Dockter, certify that:





1.           
      I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Firstgold Corp.
      (“Registrant”);





2           
      Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
      make
      the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
      were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
      report;





3.           
      Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
      included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects
      the
      financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Registrant
      as
      of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;





4.           
      The Registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing
      and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
      Act
      Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Registrant and we have:





a)           
      designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material
      information relating to the Registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
      is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
      period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;





b)           
      evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure controls and
      procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this
      quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"); and





c)           
      presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the effectiveness
      of
      the disclosure controls and procedures based on our evaluation as of the
      Evaluation Date;





5.           
      The Registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
      most recent evaluation, to the Registrant's auditors and the audit committee
      of
      Registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
      function):





a)           
      all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls
      which could adversely affect the Registrant's ability to record, process,
      summarize and report financial data and have identified for the Registrant's
      auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and





b)           
      any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
      who have a significant role in the Registrant's internal controls;
      and





6.           
      The Registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated in this quarterly
      report whether or not there were significant changes in internal controls or
      in
      other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent
      to
      the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with
      regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
