      on Controls and Procedures**





I,
      Ian
      McKinnon, certify that:





1.  I
      have
      reviewed this annual report on Form 10-Q of Lodestar Mining,
      Incorporated;





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 annual report;





3.  Based
      on
      my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
      in this annual 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:





a)  Designed
      such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such internal control over
      financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that
      material information relating to the small business issuer , including its
      consolidated subsidiary, 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 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





d)  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 was materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
      materially affect, the small business issuer’s internal control over financial
      reporting; and


5.  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 other persons performing the equivalent
        functions):


a)  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 data; and
 
 b)  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.
