I, G. Howard Collingwood, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB/A of Ruby Mining Co.;

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 officers 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
registrant and we have:

          a.  designed such disclosure controls and procedures 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
              annual 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;

          c.  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 that has materially
              affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
              registrant's internal control over financial reporting;

5. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation of internal controls 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 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 control over financial reporting;
