First Gold Intersects by Drilling Mineralized Zone on New Showings and Obtains 1.72% Li2O Over 15.1 Metres at Rose
LAVAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Nov. 9, 2010) - First Gold Exploration Inc. (TSXVENTURE:EFG) (FRANKFURT:F12) (OTCQX:FGEXF) is pleased to report themost recent drill results for the Lac Pivert/Rose project. The tablebelow shows the results for holes LR-10-124 to LR-10-139, drilled totest the extension of the zones to the east. All the holes intersectedmineralization and extended the mineralized zone at Rose eastward.
Drillingcontinues, with the drill now working on the Hydro, Pivert and JRshowings. To date, three holes have been drilled on the Hydro showingand twelve on the JR showing. Drilling has returned numerousmineralized intersections. The details and assay results for theseintersections will be disclosed over the coming weeks as they arereceived.
InnovExplo was hired in June to prepare a43-101 report on the Pivert/Rose property, as well as a resourceestimate for the project.
The 43-101 property reportcan be found on Sedar, and the resource estimate is expected before theend of the year. The work is progressing well to date, and no delaysare expected. The Company will order a prefeasibility study as soon asit receives the resource estimate.
A map showing thelocation of the holes drilled on the Pivert/Rose Lithium Project can befound in the Projects section of the Company's website, at www.firstgoldexploration.com.
THE BEST RESULTS OBTAINED TO DATE ARE AS FOLLOWS:
* 1 ppm = 1 g/t
Allthe samples were sent for analysis in sealed containers to the Chemexlaboratory in Val-d'Or by employees of the Company. Chemex is thelaboratory used for analysis of all samples from programs on the LacPivert/Rose property. The samples are weighed and identified prior tosample preparation. The samples are crushed to 70% minus 2 mm, thenseparated and pulverized to 85% passing 75 um. All samples are analyzedusing ICP-MS, with full analysis for 47 elements.
