By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 12 - Firstgold Corp. arranged a $15.75 million private placement of promissory notes on June 26, according to an 8-K filed Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The financing will occur in five tranches. The first settled on Aug. 7 for $6.74 million.

The second tranche, for $5.26 million, is scheduled for Aug. 30. It will settle upon the company receiving certain operating and reclamation permits relating to its Relief Canyon Mine properties.

The investors also received warrants for 15 million common shares. The warrants are exercisable at $0.4375 for three years. The strike price is subject to adjustment.

The company may be forced to buy back the warrants at $0.30 apiece for one year beginning Aug. 7, 2009.
