CERTIFICATIONS

I, John Arnold, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this
     10-QSB of Newport Gold, 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 small business issuer as of,
     and for, the periods presented in this report;
4. The small business
     issuer'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)) and internal
     control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
     13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the small business issuer and have:
5. 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 small business issuer, 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;
6. 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;
7. Evaluated the
      effectiveness of the small business issuer'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
8. Disclosed in this
      report any change in the small business issuer's internal control over
      financial reporting that occurred during the small business issuer's most
      recent fiscal quarter (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 small business issuer's
      internal control over financial reporting; and
9. The small business
     issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our
     most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the small business issuer's auditors and the audit committee of the small
     business issuer's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
     functions):
10. All significant
      deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
      internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
      adversely affect the small business issuer's ability to record, process,
      summarize and report financial information; and
11. Any fraud, whether or
      not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
      significant role in the small business issuer's internal control over
      financial reporting.
