LAVAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Dec. 17, 2009) - First Gold Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EFG)(FRANKFURT:F12) is pleased to announce that a drill has been moved onto the Pivert/Rose property to test the potential and continuity at depth of spodumene dykes that yielded up to 2.48 % Li2O. A program of 1,500 metres of drilling is planned, to be completed by December 31, 2009 (see table of results, below).
