                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Frank H. Ward certify that:

1. I have reviewed this Form 10-QSB quarterly report for the period ended July
31, 2007, of Palomine Mining 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 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) and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

            a)          designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
                        caused such internal control over financial reporting to
                        be designed under my 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)         designed such internal control over financial reporting,
                        or caused such internal control over financial reporting
                        to be designed under our supervision, to provide
                        reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
                        financial reporting and the preparation of financial
                        statements for external purposes in accordance with
                        generally accepted accounting principles;

            c)          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;

            d)          disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
                        internal control over financial reporting that occurred
                        during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter ended
                        July 31, 2007 (the small business issuer'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 control
                        over financial reporting; and

5. I have disclosed, based on my 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
functions):

            a)          any deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
                        or operation of internal control 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 control over financial
                        reporting.
