                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Jacob Roth, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, certify
that:


    1.  I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Royal Energy
        Resources, Inc.;
    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.  I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
        and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
        15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:
        a.  designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
            disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my
            supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
            registrant, is made known to me by others, particularly during the
            period in which this report is being prepared;
        b.  evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
            and procedures and presented in this report my conclusions about the
            effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the
            end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
            and
        c.  disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
            controls over financial reporting that occurred during the
            registrant's current fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or
            is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
            control over financial reporting; and;
    5.  I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation, to the
        registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board
        of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions);
        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 auditor 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.
