|--------|------------------------------------|

             

(1)          I have            reviewed this report on Form 10-Q of Bekem Metals, Inc.;

             

(2)          Based on            my knowledge, this 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 report;

             

(3)          Based on            my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in            this 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 report;

             

(4)          The            registrant’s other certifying officer(s) and I are 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 our supervision 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 report            is being prepared;

(b)          Evaluated            the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and            presented in this report our 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 most recent fiscal quarter (the            registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has            materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the            registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting; and

 

(5)          The            registrant’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most            recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the            registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of            directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

 

(a)           All            significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal            controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the            registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial            information; 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 over financial            reporting.
