**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.
